Haruno Sakura looked at Sasuke, who was emitting strange chakra, with a horrified look on her face. Just now, Sakura, who had been working hard all night, was awakened by a cold and gloomy breath that was close at hand. Sakura thought it was an invasion by foreign enemies, but was surprised to find that it was Uchiha Sasuke, who was still sleeping, who had moved. The part where Sasuke was bitten by Orochimaru, cloud-like runes gradually spread all over his body, and purple-black chakra visible to the naked eye emerged from his whole body, and the disturbing breath became stronger and stronger.

While Sakura was not paying attention to the corner, the sealing arrays around her silently began to take effect, and Uchiha Sasuke's chakra, which was becoming thicker and thicker in the air, was slowly being absorbed.

But slowly, the barrier's isolating effect went awry. After all, with Haruno Sakura's strength, it was extremely rare for her to be able to set up a usable barrier. However, the power of the cursed seal was too terrifying. The chakra produced by Sasuke far exceeded the speed at which the sealing formation could absorb it. Some chakra leaked out in small amounts when the sealing formation was overwhelmed, so it was only a matter of time before it was discovered by others.

At dawn the next day, the Konoha Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and Hyuga Hinata team set out early and successfully arrived at the center of the Death Forest. The three members of the team were all strong in reconnaissance and enemy lock-on capabilities, and their combat capabilities were also not bad. They had no weaknesses in long-range and close combat, and they had collected all the scrolls early, so it was not surprising that they arrived at the destination early. However, there was a Sand Ninja team that was faster than them, so for the time being they had to stay with the terrifying guys in fear for a while.

The other team with the Byakugan is the Genin guided by Might Guy. If you don't count the Jinchuriki and Orochimaru, who are powerful ninjas beyond imagination, the three of them are the strongest team in the Death Forest. If they want to, the three of them can crush all teams, including the current spy Kabuto Yakushi. If it weren't for the powerful Hyuga Neji who disdained to snatch the scroll from the incompetent guy, they could almost drive more than half of the candidates out of the examination room.

Just as they were moving forward, a powerful battle wave suddenly erupted. Judging from the momentum, the attackers did not seem to be weak, so the three of them sped up. However, by the time they felt it, the battle was already over. Apart from Zhu, Lu, and Die, who were covered in wounds, no one else could be seen.

Nara Shikamaru woke up first. His family runs the largest medicine business in Konoha Village. He took out the family secret medicine and gave it to himself, Choji and Ino. Choji was in the best physical condition because of his thick skin. After a little recovery, he took out snacks and ate them like nothing happened. Shikamaru was also okay. He avoided a lot of injuries with his cleverness. The worst was Ino. The external injuries were not serious, but the key was that her internal organs were impacted. It is estimated that her combat effectiveness will be affected for a long time. Fortunately, Ino is generally not needed to face the front line of the battle, and the spiritual secrets of the Yamanaka family are not greatly affected.

When the three were still resting, they saw Hyuga Neji and the other two arriving.

"I'm really unlucky today." Shikamaru couldn't help but doubt his luck, "If it doesn't work, let's hand over the scroll."

Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino had no choice but to nod their heads. There was nothing they could do about it. Without enough strength, they could only be slaughtered.

"You guys, who was fighting with you just now?" Hyuga Neji asked condescendingly from his perch on the tree.

"They are three people from Sound Ninja." Nara Shikamaru answered. Since he had the best brains and was the most motivated one, he was tacitly appointed as the captain of Ino-Shika-Chou.

"Which direction did they go?"

"This way." Shikamaru pointed in a direction.

"Let's go." Hyuga Neji said.

"Aren't we going to steal their scrolls?" Tiantian's words made the three people below feel nervous.

"I really have no interest in fighting with such a weakling, let alone taking advantage of him. What's more, he is a ninja from the same village. I won't be able to hold my head up high in the future." Neji continued to say to the people below, "You guys should know that a newcomer should act like a newcomer. If you really can't do it, just quit immediately. If you force yourself to stay here, you will bring shame to the village."

After saying that, Hyuga Neji took Rock Lee and Tenten away, leaving behind Ino-Shika-Chou who was let go because he was completely despised.

Akimichi Choji said unhappily while eating snacks; "Shikamaru, even though he is telling the truth, why does it make people so unhappy?"

"Because he is looked down upon. Although he has the ability to be so arrogant as the top student of the previous class, we are not as bad as he says. We still have a chance."

"Is this the place?" The Sound Ninja trio finally found the right place, and Sack said loudly, "It's really hard to find it under the lamp. It's actually so close to us, and we have been here several times."

"Okay, stop complaining," Doss said. "Who knew there would be ninjas here who could set up small barriers? It's incredible for a Genin, so it's no wonder we didn't notice them. If they didn't seem to have some problems, we wouldn't have thought they were hiding here."

"Let's finish the mission quickly so we can go back early. Maybe we can get a reward from Lord Orochimaru." The female ninja Jin couldn't wait any longer.

Sakura Haruno was still worried about Uchiha Sasuke. At this time, the curse seal had spread all over Sasuke's body. After a large number of explosions, the chakra fluctuations had gradually subsided, the operation of the sealing array had become much more stable, and the chakra that brought a cold and weird feeling had also decreased a lot. Sakura thought that all this was naturally dissipated. She put her mind completely on Sasuke and didn't pay attention to other things at all. She didn't even notice the uninvited guests outside.

With a loud bang, a huge shock wave crushed all the way, smashing the trap outside into pieces, and then hit the barrier. The place that was originally empty suddenly flashed with the fluorescent light of the barrier.

"Look, here it is." Sack said with satisfaction, "Little mouse can't hide anymore, come out and die."

Then, another air-slashing wave was launched, and the barrier that had long been unable to withstand the pressure suddenly collapsed, revealing Haruno Sakura and Naruto and Sasuke who had not yet awakened.

Looking at the three Sound Ninjas outside, Haruno Sakura suddenly became confused. She knew that her strength in a head-on battle was not enough to stop them. Just looking at the powerful ninjutsu they used to break the barrier, she knew she had no chance. However, she looked at Sasuke and Naruto who were protecting her behind her.

"Sometimes, you can't escape."

Tying her hair tightly behind her head, Haruno Sakura had to move forward. She felt like a soldier heading towards a battlefield where she would die. Some things can only be understood once in person.
