It was already late at night. After they rested for a while, Kakashi woke them up.

Xiaorou rubbed her eyes and yawned. "If I can't sleep until I'm full, I might as well not sleep at all."

"Let me sleep for a while," Naruto said dazedly without even turning over.

"Aren't we going to save Gaara?" Kakashi said, and Naruto sat up suddenly. How could he still be sleepy?

Only Xiaorou was left holding her messy long hair, and she gathered water in her palms to wet her hair.

"You'll catch a cold." Kakashi looked at Xiaorou, who had no expression on her face, and shook his head helplessly. Everyone continued their journey to rescue Gaara.

"It's so quiet, there are no enemies," Kakashi said, "I guess they think there's no need to delay us any longer."

Naruto clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his pupils turned vertical, and his speed doubled.

I am the same as Gaara... but I have teachers, companions and teammates who care about me... but Gaara is alone and endures loneliness. Everyone is afraid of him and stays away from him. I understand his feelings better than anyone else. Naruto is getting faster and faster, leaving the others behind.

"Brother" Xiaorou shouted after landing. Kaiban had already taken a step to where Gaara was.

"You're so slow, Kakashi!" Kai raised his lips and looked at Kakashi who was falling.

"I'm sorry for the trouble that delayed me," Kakashi said.

"Kakashi, I'm not the one who's in trouble, am I?" Chiyo said, frowning.

"Who is this mother-in-law?" Tiantian asked

"This is Granny Chiyo, the advisor of the Sand Village," Sakura walked towards the group and introduced them.

Ningji observed the inside with his white eyes.

"I can't see clearly, it seems like there are several people."

"Ningji, where's Gaara?" Naruto grabbed Neji's arm anxiously, "Hey! What happened to Gaara?"

"...That is..." Xiao Rou suddenly stopped talking. The bulging eyes on the huge stone statue turned and then slowly closed. Ningci also obviously saw that the Byakugan had been lifted.

"What happened, Xiaorou?" Naruto shook Xiaorou in panic.

"What on earth is that?" Sakura asked seriously.

"I can't express it in words..." Neji lowered his head and didn't know where to start.

"Then you'll have to see it with your own eyes." After Li said that, Kai took a few steps back and rushed forward with his fist raised, but was blocked by a transparent barrier.

"Like the Five Seal Barrier," Kakashi said, "it's a barrier made by sticking all the forbidden characters on talismans at five locations around the area. You need to remove all five talismans at the same time, otherwise it can't be broken."

"Baiyan" Ningci and Xiaorou search for the remaining forbidden characters and draw them on the map

"It's not that close anymore," Sakura thought as she looked at a few places.

"Why don't you leave it to me?" Xiaorou asked Kakashi in a low voice

"At this distance, the radio should be useful." Kai took out the headphones from his backpack.

"It seems that it is not necessary." Kakashi shook his head and decided not to expose it for the time being.

"Brother, you really dislike Teacher Kai." Xiaorou looked at the hands that were only missing from Ningci's hand. Kai stared at Ningci and hummed, hinting at him. Ningci disliked him, and his face was stiff with a hint of embarrassment, so he reluctantly put his hands on him.

"Youthful vitality is in full swing!" Kai showed his white teeth and shouted "Come on!"

"Oh!" Li echoed

"come on"

"Oh!"

"come on"

"Oh!"

"Disperse" Kai gave an order and the four of them dispersed to their respective positions.

"That cheering gesture is really great." Naruto suddenly became excited and had an urge to do something. He looked at the others and said, "Let's do one too."

"I don't want to die" Sakura turned her head away and crossed her arms

"That's it." Kakashi agreed

Xiao Rou couldn't bear to see Naruto looking a little disappointed... She walked up to him and raised her hand under his surprised gaze. Naruto was stunned for a moment, and the two of them high-fived in mid-air.

"come on"

"Oh!"

Kakashi was a little speechless. He had a look of disgust on his face just now, why did he change his attitude so quickly now? There was no need to pamper her so much, right?

Xiaorou walked in front of the big rock, Kakashi stood beside it

Black lines appeared on Xiaorou's face. Xiaoying was stunned. The first time she saw it was when her master taught her the Hundred Healings Technique, but there was a condition that she had to store her chakra in one place. Since then, her master asked her not to use chakra anymore. But Xiaorou was still doing missions with Kakashi as usual... How did she learn it without the guidance of her master...

But she doesn't look like her master, after all, her master has a diamond-shaped forehead while Xiaorou has a cross-shaped forehead.

Xiaorou shook her wrist, and the moment Kakashi tore it off, Xiaorou punched it, and tiny cracks appeared on the stone. When everyone thought it was not broken, the stone turned into sand and disappeared like dust. Kakashi gave an order, and several people rushed in directly.

Deidara sat on Gaara, who showed no reaction. Next to him was a strange, ugly old man-like thing.

"So, who is the Jinchūriki?" Deidara said calmly, looking at everyone.

Naruto's eyes turned red and his teeth became sharp. "You bastards, I will smash you to pieces."

"That's him." Xia recalled the characteristics Itachi gave him, and he had to say that they were very appropriate.

"Eternal Burial in the Tree World" Xiao Rou looked at Deidara coldly as he raised his hands. In the Sage Mode of the Natural Force, as long as he paid enough chakra, he didn't even need to cast a seal.

"How terrible, how terrible!" Deidara and Scorpion jumped back to avoid it. Thick branches emerged from the ground and wrapped around Gaara, and then sent them to Xiaorou. Xiaorou's original target was not the two of them. Xiaorou pointed her finger at Gaara's forehead and wrapped his body with chakra.

"…Wood Release!?" Chiyo looked at Kakashi in astonishment. "Konoha actually has such a powerful weapon hidden?"

The older generation knows the reputation of Hashirama Senju back then, and even his Wood Release was terrifying.

"No wonder..." Scorpion looked at the girl in front of him, "No wonder the leader fell in love with you."

"..." Kakashi was shocked. It was hard enough to be targeted by Naruto alone. If he was targeted by another one, he wouldn't be able to protect Naruto with his nine lives.

"Gaara!" Naruto looked at Gaara who was motionless. "Xiaorou, he's okay, right?"

Xiaorou silently withdrew her hand, shook her head, and put Gaara down.

"Wood Release..." Sakura muttered to herself. Her master was the granddaughter of the first Hokage. Why did Xiaorou, a member of the Hyuga clan, know this...

"Gaara! I don't believe it... Why is it always Gaara?" Naruto picked up Gaara from the ground. Gaara was no longer warm. He could not feel Gaara's breath. Tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. Sakura and Chiyo hurriedly surrounded him, but turned their heads away.

"Brother, you will be angry if I say this." Deidara smiled and said, "I will deal with that Jinchūriki."

"It was agreed that each of us would have one target." Scorpion looked at him grimly, dissatisfied, "Don't push your luck, Deidara."

"But if you as an artist don't seek stronger stimulation, your sense of things will become dull, big brother." Deidara looked at Scorpion.

"Art?" Xiaorou took a step forward and said, "I'll play with you."

"No, no, you have to stay alive." Deidara smiled and curled his lips

"Why not make you my eternal art? That's also living." Scorpion suddenly stared at her.

"Bang!" Xiaorou gently raised her finger and pointed at the scorpion, uttering a word

Instantly, a stream of air emerged and then a strong explosion broke out, with the high temperature air pressure blowing the scorpion to pieces.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, my soulmate, hahahahahahaha, I look forward to you joining Akatsuki's inner world, let us shock the world with art together, hahahahahahahaha." Deidara's eyes seemed to light up, "The Nine-Tailed Fox is back, big brother, come on, come on! Let me teach the younger generation what a dazzling explosion is."

"This is..." Sakura was a little confused as to why the air would explode directly

"This is one of Xiaorou's self-created ninjutsu, the steam explosion. Xiaorou has honed ninjutsu to an extremely proficient level. Water and fire jutsu are what she is best at. When she was teaching her Rasengan, she got inspired and used chakra to rotate and compress water molecules, then used an instantaneous super-high temperature flame to form an outer shell to wrap the water molecules to form steam and chakra that exploded instantly. At the same time as the explosion, the spread of high-temperature steam will inflict a scalding sensation similar to a burning sensation. The more water, the more terrifying the power. With the Byakugan, she is simply a walking positioning bomb. As long as you fight her head-on, you will never be able to escape the sudden explosion. The most terrifying thing is that she doesn't need to make hand seals. Her control over chakra is the best I have ever seen. Ninjutsu that originally required huge chakra can always burst out the greatest power with the least chakra in her hands." Kakashi shuddered. When he first had this idea, he was tortured by the explosion practiced by Xiaorou and couldn't even sleep well. "What's more, this place is surrounded by water. I'm afraid it won't be a problem for her to fight two at a time."

"What kind of monsters are these?" Chiyo muttered. This is too scary. They have Wood Release and can research various original ninjutsu. I heard from Kakashi that this is one of them. Although it depends on the environment, there are still a lot of water molecules in the air. If you are fighting with someone and suddenly the water molecules in the air around you explode, who would not lose their mind? It's hard to defend against it.

"Has she also learned the Rasengan?" Naruto turned his head and asked Kakashi

"Yeah... but she doesn't seem to like it very much." Kakashi remembered that when Xiaorou learned it, she was looking at the Rasengan in her hand in deep thought. By the time he realized it, the Rasengan had already formed a large scale. The two looked at each other expressionlessly, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

"Come on, junior." Deidara rode the big white clay bird and walked outside. Xiaorou frowned. It was really not good to fight here.

Lifted his feet and walked out

"Don't be impulsive, Xiaorou." Kakashi frowned and prepared to follow.

"Teacher Kakashi, please stay here. No problem." Xiaorou waved her hand and didn't care.

"I'll go too" Naruto's eyes were red. This person actually insulted Gaara like this. This is unforgivable.

"I was underestimated." Deidara threw the little spider clay in dissatisfaction. Xiaorou slapped her hands on the ground, and the earth wall blocked the figures of Naruto and Xiaorou rushing out of the explosion smoke. "Brother, it seems that I have to deal with these two."

"Don't even think about escaping!" Naruto quickly chased after Deidara.

"Naruto, wait a minute," Xiaorou called Naruto and whispered something in his ear.

"Assist me?" Naruto said, looking at Deidara in the sky.

"You are good at close combat, so it's hard to get close enough to hit him. In this case, you need a teammate to assist you from a distance. Unfortunately, I'm omnipotent." Xiaorou said shamelessly, showing her little tiger teeth, and then she leaned closer to Naruto and whispered softly.

"Hmph, let me see what you can do." Deidara released a handful of small spiders.

The two quickly dodged, Xiaorou slapped the ground with both hands and "Earth Escape? Earth Wave"

The ground trembled under Naruto's feet as if it had come to life, and the ground was winding upwards. Naruto stepped on the earth snake formed by the rock controlled by Xiaorou and flew into the air.

"What!" Deidara looked at the earth snakes that kept rushing out of the rock wall in disbelief. Naruto used them as stepping stones and stepped on countless earth snakes as he rushed up. Then he curled his lips and threw a clay bomb, "Since you are so anxious to come and die, snap..."

Naruto gathered the Rasengan in his palm and rushed forward with a roar. The earth snake blocked all the bombs. The explosion produced thick fog, which formed a strange vortex. Naruto rushed out and stepped directly on the broken boulders to hit Deidara's white bird.

"Ka!" Deidara jumped back from the big bird's back and formed a seal in mid-air.

Xiaorou's right arm turned into a vine and wrapped around Naruto's body in the air, pulling him back. A huge explosion sounded in the air, and Xiaorou put Naruto down. The two of them chased in the direction where Deidara landed.
