Chapter 1230 The Valley of the End

Konoha Village.

It was still the same barbecue restaurant, but there were fewer people sitting around the grill.

Sakura propped up her chin: "Why do you think Sasuke defected from the village and joined the Akatsuki organization? Is revenge really that important to him?"

Ino sighed: "Hey, we don't even know when he joined the Akatsuki organization!"

Naruto clenched his fists!

Jiraiya and Tsunade knew that they couldn't hide it, so they told him a few days ago that Sasuke defected from the village and joined the Akatsuki organization.

After learning about this, Naruto was surprised and regretful.

He was surprised that Sasuke actually did such a thing, and he regretted that he didn't find out and stop it in time.

Shikamaru said: "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things today!"

Tenten immediately agreed: "Yes, everyone finally got together, so don't mention the annoying things anymore!"

Choji, Xiao Li, and Kiba started eating immediately and feasted.

Naruto quickly muttered, "Hey, wait for me!"

As Naruto joined in, everyone started scrambling for the food, as if they were back in the days of the Ninja School.

In a flash, the food on the table was eaten up.

Seeing that there was still some left, Tiantian suddenly said, "If Shinji was here, they would have eaten all the meat long ago!"

Ino asked curiously, "What are Shinji and the others busy with? Why haven't I seen them for a while?"

Tentian shrugged, "How would I know? He said he was busy when I asked him out several times."

Sakura was a little worried, "Could it be because of Sasuke? Sasuke is an Uchiha. His leaving the village should have an impact on Shinji and the Konoha Police Force, right? Shinji and the others are not planning to capture Sasuke, are they?"

Shikamaru said while picking his teeth, "It shouldn't be. The Akatsuki organization is on the rise now, and the village shouldn't take the initiative to provoke them for the time being."

Choji complained, "With so many people gone, the barbecue is not as delicious as before!"

Ino pouted, "You haven't eaten less!"

However, Choji's complaint still resonated with everyone.

In the past, every time we had a meal together, we not only had to book the largest private room, but everyone had to squeeze together to barely have enough space to sit.

Now Sasuke has defected, Shinji, Yakumo, Karin, Haku, Kimimaro, and Neji have all declined due to some matters, so there are fewer people.

Hinata hesitated and said: "Brother Neji has been on a mission for a long time, and there is no news at all. I am a little worried!"

Shino, who didn't say much, said: "Something is wrong."

Kiba sighed: "If you ask me, something is wrong with the whole village!"

In the previous Ninja World Wars, although Konoha suffered heavy casualties, everyone was just sad, and the spirit was still there, but now that Konoha lost the Ninja World War, the spirit seemed to be drained, and all the Konoha ninjas were wilted.

After the dinner, Naruto and Sakura walked silently on the street.

Sakura seemed to have mustered up her courage and said, "Naruto, can I ask you for a favor?"

Naruto said, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely bring Sasuke back!"

Sakura's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you!"

Naruto smiled and said, "We are teammates!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the end of the street, attracting Naruto's attention.

Naruto widened his eyes: "Who is that?!"

Menma reminded Naruto in his spiritual world: "Don't make a sound!"

Naruto immediately reacted and smiled and said to Sakura, who was unaware, "Oh no, I forgot that Jiraiya asked me to train!"

Sakura hurriedly said, "Then go quickly, don't let Jiraiya wait for too long."

After saying hello, Naruto quietly chased after the figure that disappeared at the end of the street. Not long after, the two sneaked out of the village one after the other and headed east.

After leaving the village, Naruto shouted from behind: "Sasuke, wait for me!"

No doubt.

The figure that appeared at the end of the street just now was not someone else, but Sasuke.

After listening to the test given by Shinji, he immediately rushed to Konoha, because he had served as a member of the Konoha police force before and knew the patrol layout in the village, so he easily bypassed the village guards and found Naruto walking on the street.

It was also because it was Sasuke that Naruto did not make a fuss in the village, but quietly chased after him.

Glancing at Naruto who was shouting behind him, Sasuke snorted lightly, and continued to gallop forward without stopping.

After a long time, the two came to a waterfall.

Looking at the huge stone statues on both sides of the waterfall, Sasuke was a little confused. He didn't understand why Shinji suggested that he ask Naruto to fight here, but since it was mentioned by Shinji, he led Naruto all the way here as required.

Swish.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, Naruto fell beside Sasuke and looked at the stone statues on both sides of the waterfall.

Naruto pointed to a stone statue on one side: "Is that the first Hokage?"

"Well, the stone statue on the right is the first Hokage, and the stone statue on the left is the predecessor of our Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara!" After a pause, Sasuke continued: "Because Madara and the first generation fought here, and finally established the pattern of the ninja world, so this place is called the 'End Valley', which means the place where the troubled times end!"

Naruto said, not quite understanding: "So that's what happened!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto: "Naruto, we should have a conclusion between us!"

Naruto said: "Sasuke, turn back! Everyone in the village is waiting for you, don't be stubborn!"

"Turn back?!" Sasuke was stunned, then raised his mouth and joked: "It's really a strange experience to be persuaded by a fool like you! Forget it, let's not waste our breath, let's fight! I heard that you have become a lot stronger recently, let me see if you have really become stronger!"

Naruto said: "If I defeat you, you will come back to the village with me!"

Sasuke's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "You don't really think you can beat me? To tell you honestly, I have taken back all my power now, and it's effortless to defeat you!"

Menma reminded in the spiritual world at this time: "The other party has joined the Akatsuki organization, you have to be careful that he is coming for the Nine-Tails!"

"I won't lose!"

Naruto declared loudly, responding to both Sasuke and Menma.

Sasuke frowned slightly, although he didn't know why, but he felt an indomitable momentum from Naruto.

Influenced by Naruto's momentum, his competitive spirit was also aroused: "It seems that following Jiraiya has indeed made you grow a lot, but that's it! Today I will let you know what Uchiha is again!"

The first update is here!
