Chapter 157: Own Power

"It hurts..." Naruto covered his head and gradually woke up.

"Naruto..."

"Hey? What's wrong with me?" Naruto looked around, not knowing where he was.

Seeing Naruto becoming more energetic again, Yamato smiled: "Naruto, it's great that you're fine. Orochimaru was probably injured quite a bit by your blow. We'd better pursue the victory and catch up now!"

"OK!"

Naruto just gave a loud shout, but he fell to the ground again.

Although he is a nine-tailed man, he has extraordinary resilience, but after all, he is not an indestructible body of King Kong.

The damage he took just now has not fully recovered.

At this time, Haruno Sakura moved with compassion: "I know we should catch up now, but Naruto looks like this..."

Yamato: "Then let's leave Naruto here, he should have the strength to go back to the village."

Yamato's words hurt Haruno Sakura: "If it was Kakashi-sensei, I would never say such a thing!"

"Don't say that, Yamato-sensei is not such a person." Leiyin on the side said.

Naruto insisted: "I'm fine... I can be with you..."

Yamato continued: "I partnered with Kakashi in Anbu, and I know what kind of person he is. I did come in for Kakashi, but I'm not the same as him... I will never smile. Saying to you, 'I will never let him kill my companion', you are no longer a ninja who needs someone to protect you, and you will definitely surpass Kakashi in the future. Kindness and favor are not the same, if we don't If you catch up now, there is no way to catch up with Orochimaru, and if you hesitate, you will lose the opportunity, and it is difficult to have a second chance like this."

Yamato's words made Haruno Sakura speechless.

"Sakura, you..." At this time, Naruto noticed that there were a few scratches on Haruno Sakura's arm.

[Nine-tailed chakra is like a toxin, slowly infiltrating his body from the wound. Even Sakura's medical skills can't easily treat such an injury, so I'm surprised that Naruto can endure such a chakra. 】

Yamato thought to himself,

But they didn't say it.

Haruno Sakura forced a smile on her face: "This was injured by Orochimaru just now. It's just a small injury that hurts a little bit. Don't worry about it."

Naruto looked at her solemnly: "Sakura, don't force yourself too hard."

At this time, Yamato actually sat down: "Let's take a break before we go, Sakura is the only medical ninja in the team, and is the key to completing the mission."

Hearing this, Haruno Sakura became anxious: "I'm fine, let's go right away! Captain Yamato, didn't you say..."

Yamato smiled and said, "I did say so, but there is a saying called 'haste is not enough'. Quick action and reluctance are two different things."

After these words, a bead of sweat fell on Leiyin's head: "As expected of Captain Yamato, whatever you say makes sense..."

Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura dumbly: "Yes, you are the only medical ninja in the team, and you have strange powers! So you are very important."

Blue veins burst out on Sakura's forehead: "Don't add the word 'weird' to me!"

Yamato stood up: "Naruto, I think you are almost recovered, let's divide the battle group, Leiyin and Sakura are in a group, you and I are in a group, let's let them rest for a while, you come with me first. "

"OK."

With that said, Naruto and Yamato came to another place.

"Captain Yamato, what's the matter?"

"Before leaving, I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"Actually, Sakura's injury was caused by you."

"Hey?"

Hearing this, Naruto was stunned on the spot.

Yamato continued: "In other words, that bridge, that big tree, that big hole, and Sakura's injuries are all... Sakura deceived you because she didn't want you to know about it. ..."

Hearing these words, Naruto's face was filled with guilt.

"You have the special power of the nine-tailed fox demon, but I have the special ability to suppress the power of the human pillar, so don't blame yourself too much for this. But it's only when I'm by your side..."

Naruto didn't understand what Yamato's words meant, and continued: "I don't have to tell you about this, but why should I say it? Although you can rescue Sasuke quickly if you use this kind of power, but this is not the case. Your strength, if you continue to rely on this strength in the future, then you will suffer and even hurt your partner... In fact, you don't need to rely on that kind of strength, you are already strong. Don't make a mistake..."

"So I hope that you can rely on your own strength to rescue Sasuke!"

"Got it!"
