Sasuke and Naruto's secret love recorder

Chapter 58 Heading to the Bridge of Heaven and Earth

"What a feast!" Xiaorou couldn't wait to sit down. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. It was like a feast.

"Are all of these really edible?" Naruto's eyes lit up as he sat down.

"Yeah, of course," Yamato smiled.

The rare harmony among the group made Yamato feel relieved. The group finished their meal with great satisfaction.

"Okay, I won't say anything to spoil the mood. Have a good rest today and we'll have another meeting tomorrow." Yamato said.

"Captain Yamato is really sensible." Naruto said with satisfaction

"So we're still staying at the hot spring hotel tomorrow?" Sakura also smiled happily.

"Is there any more delicious food like this?" Xiaorou looked at Yamato with sparkling eyes.

"Please spare me. My wallet is empty." Only Yamato knew how expensive the fee was. He paid for it out of his own pocket.

"So Captain Yamato paid for the accommodation this time?" Sakura asked.

"That's amazing, you have a broad mind!" Naruto looked at Yamato and nodded, "It's true that Captain Yamato is the captain of Kakashi's class."

"Yeah, I agree," Sakura agreed.

"Master will be so sad if someone is tempted by delicious food." Xiaorou raised her cup, shook her head, and sighed while drinking tea.

Xiaorou woke up before dawn, glanced at the sleeping Sakura, and left quietly. In order to ensure that she did not fall behind in physical skills, Xiaorou would practice soft boxing every morning. This habit has lasted for many years. It is very satisfying to sweat. Hinata also came back at that time. The two of them practiced against each other until the sun was high in the sky. Hinata fell to the ground.

"It seems you haven't wasted your time," Hinata said as he stood up and continued to pose in his soft fist position. "Come again."

"You've changed a lot." Xiaorou waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to continue. "You didn't want to fight at all before."

"You too, you've learned all of Kakashi's listlessness," Hinata replied rudely before disappearing.

Xiaorou stretched her waist and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the towel around her neck. She was wearing loose white pants and a tight white vest on her upper body. Her slender waist was wrapped with a Konoha forehead protector. The end of her long white hair was tied with a white ribbon. The surrounding terrain was bumpy, all caused by sparring with the Hinata. It was hard to imagine that this delicate girl had done it. Xiaorou picked up the white coat beside her and put it on her shoulders.

"The painting is good." When Xiaorou returned to the hotel, she saw Sai drawing on the drawing board. "As empty as you are."

"Hmm" Sai was startled. This girl's presence has always been weak, but her strong strength is hard to ignore "because I can't feel emotions"

“Yes, abandon the roots of all emotions. Well, then try to feel them.” Xiaorou picked up a new paintbrush and used golden paint to paint a bunch of sunflowers on the drawing board. They seemed to be struggling in the empty and desolate dark abstract painting below. Some withered, some bloomed, and some just unfolded their petals. They grew and withered in the darkness and bloomed in the saturated and bright colors above. “Let’s call him a new life.”

"You don't seem to hate me," Sai asked, looking at Xiaorou. Naruto and Sakura showed their dislike for him on their faces.

"Because I believe you will be a good teammate for them," Xiaorou said with a smile

"Why?" Sai asked in confusion. This kind of trust was hard to understand, and why were they talking about them?

"Time will tell." Xiaorou said nothing more and put the paintbrush in his hand and left.

Sai looked at the drawing board a little dazed. It is said that a painting is like its author. There is such a warm painting saying something that I can't understand.

"Hmph, the painting is not bad." Naruto looked at Sai's painting with his bag on his back. "Captain Yamato asked me to inform you that it's time to set off."

"It's just okay." Sai put away the painting carefully with a fake smile, stood up and walked away with Naruto.

"What? You're still so modest?" Naruto muttered. Even though he was being praised, he still had an irritating smile on his face.

As evening was about to fall, Yamato looked at the surrounding environment and chose a path. The path was winding and the atmosphere was gloomy and weird. After explaining why he chose this path, it was already dark. Yamato found an open place and stopped. "Let's rest here tonight."

"Eh!? If you want to camp, you can't do it in such a wide place. There is a cave where we just passed by," Naruto said as he approached Yamato.

Yamato looked at Xiaorou meaningfully, then he formed a seal. He was the one who taught Xiaorou this ninjutsu, but she had never used it before. "Everyone stand away. Wood Release? Four Pillars Family Techniques."

"I don't really like using this kind of ninjutsu." Xiaorou looked at Naruto's gaze and spread her hands.

Everyone opened the second-floor luxury wooden house and looked around happily. It looked very grand and spacious, but the room was surprisingly simple and empty. After packing up their things, no one sat around and lit a candle in the middle.

"I have already obtained the information from the Sand Village, but Sakura, I hope you can tell me in detail about his personality, words, deeds, and habits. This time, I want to infiltrate Orochimaru's spy until Scorpion goes to the Heaven and Earth Bridge. Maybe he will see through me soon, so it is better to dress up as Scorpion and get close to him." Yamato held up a photo of Scorpion. "Scorpion often wears this puppet costume. Xiaorou and I are the most suitable. I think it might be a trap, so I am the most suitable."

"Let me explain the mission again. The goal this time is just to capture the target. We can't let the target die. If the target dies, we will lose important intelligence. This is more difficult than defeating the enemy. I will be the vanguard of this operation. You will support from the rear. The method is very simple. First, I will capture the target. Second, if I fail to capture the target and a battle breaks out, you will participate in the battle. Always watch my signal. When one person acts, his companions must cover him. Mutual support is the principle."

"First, Sakura and I will form a team. Naruto, Xiaorou, and Sai will form a team. Xiaorou will use the advantage of her Byakugan to provide support at any time in the back and observe the surroundings to prevent traps."

"Well... I say, Captain Yamato," Sakura said hesitantly, remembering Tsunade's words asking her to look after Naruto, "I think it would be better for us to form a group of three from the original Team 7. We don't need to work together too much and we are all familiar with each other."

"Your role this time is a medical ninja," Yamato looked at Sakura seriously, "I can't let you get hurt, so I asked you to be in a team with me. Although Xiaorou is also a medical ninja, her strength is already above yours. What's more, in terms of perception, our entire team can only have Xiaorou. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes..." Sakura said with her eyes downcast.

"Although you have many grievances, you should first consider the mission." Yamato stood up and opened the door. "I don't know where Orochimaru's lair is. The spies are on their way to the Tiandi Bridge now."

………………

Xiaorou stood on a hidden tree trunk, observing the positions of everyone. A man in a cloak slowly walked over on the bridge. Naruto hid in the dark and looked at his wife nervously. The sound of bells rang, and the man playing Scorpion slowly walked out of the woods. The spy and Scorpion met but neither of them moved until Scorpion raised his arm. Naruto rushed out first and rushed straight towards the spy, followed by Sai. The two were in rare harmony. Xiaorou kept moving with their fight, keeping her hands in a seal state and her Byakugan open. Earth spikes emerged from the ground to interfere with the spy's actions and restrict his movements. Every step of the spy was controlled to force him into the trap set by several people.

Very good, Yamato was dealing with Naruto, but Naruto made a Rasengan on Sai's hand and rushed towards Yamato. If it weren't for their high tacit understanding, it would feel awkward.

Yamato made a seal and a wooden stake appeared on the ground, wrapping around Sai and controlling him. Then a white mist rose up. Sai was just a shadow clone of Naruto. Naruto flew into the air and clamped Yamato to the ground. An inky snake tied up Yamato and Naruto at the same time.

Barely qualified, but this time he still had a little selfishness, Yamato thought

"Why did you tie me up too, Sai! Think of a way!" Naruto shouted, but Sai ran in another direction. "Where are you going? I've caught Captain Yamato. Come and untie me!"

"Naruto, take a look!" Xiaorou rushed out of the woods, the sword flashed, and the bound black snake turned into ink spots on the ground.

"What is this! Damn it!" Naruto looked at the funny wooden clone and shouted unwillingly. He was about to chase after it but was grabbed by Xiaorou by the collar.

"Captain Yamato has been captured. We just need to wait for them to come back," Xiaorou said lightly while leaning against a tree.

"Damn, what a disgusting guy!" Naruto grabbed his hair in annoyance. The three of them watched Sai and Yamato appear.

Sai's strength was beyond Yamato's expectations. It was indeed a problem that Danzo assigned such a capable ninja to Kakashi's team.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Xiaorou separated the two. Sai wrote the word "partner" on the scroll and held it up for Naruto to see, indicating that he knew the word "partner", which made Naruto even angrier.

"Please don't blame others for your poor personal ability. If you weren't easily provoked, the captain wouldn't have found out that I was hiding, and we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble. You transformed into me but used your technique, and I could tell at a glance that you used a shadow clone. The captain, who saw through the operation, used a clone to escape into the woods." Sai's face was expressionless. "It's not an ideal situation to fight while protecting a guy who lacks calmness. I only acted with the success of the mission in mind."

"I don't acknowledge you as my partner." Naruto turned away and stopped looking at Sai. "I don't acknowledge you as a member of Kakashi's team. I will never acknowledge you."

"What if it's Sasuke's? Will he protect you?" Sai smirked. "If you regard someone who betrayed the village and hurt you as your partner..."

"Of course Sasuke will cover for Naruto, and he will block fatal attacks for Naruto. This is a fact we have seen as we get along day by day. The relationship between them is beyond your understanding. Naruto is right, you may not be able to be a member of Kakashi's team." Xiaorou shook her wrist. This was the first time they saw Xiaorou get angry. Her fierce aura made Naruto and Sakura hold their breath. Sai fell to the ground and curled up in pain. Xiaorou's hand was filled with chakra to heal his injuries and she helped him up. "We have set up three plans this time. Plan B will be activated as soon as Plan A is exposed. And what are you doing? You tied up your teammates and abandoned them without thinking about the trap. If Akatsuki's goal is achieved, you will be an accomplice."

Sai was silent. Captain Yamato had said at the beginning that this operation was likely a trap. Since it was said in advance that this was a drill, he ignored this point.

Xiaorou broke off a branch and threw it into the woods. A wall of earth rose up and surrounded the place where the branch fell. The land began to soften and turned into a swamp. The branch sank and disappeared. Xiaorou pinched a leaf between her fingers, and the leaf sank into the woods like a shuriken. In just a moment, the huge tree net bag fell. "The entire venue has been trapped by me. If plan A allows the enemy to escape, I will command the entire plan B. I will detect the enemy's position and lead them into the last blind spot, and you will work together to attack and take them down. Your unauthorized actions have caused trouble for our plan B. All traps have failed. Traps do not distinguish between enemies and teammates, and will only attack indiscriminately. Once you cannot control the enemy, the distance makes it impossible for teammates to support in time, the traps cannot attack you and you are injured, the enemy escapes, or the indiscriminate attack of the trap exposes the purpose and you are trapped at the same time, you are injured, or die."

"This simulation is not rigorous, because we are familiar with each other, and the captain can't use heavy hands on us. The enemy is different. We don't understand the enemy, but he doesn't understand us either. We have a greater chance of winning." Xiaorou rolled her eyes, adding a sense of majesty to her. Xiaorou who didn't smile was difficult to approach, like an untouchable god. Her majesty made people feel awe. Her white hair fluttered in the wind, adding a cold temperament different from the world.

Sai was stunned for a moment, listening to Xiaorou's words, he was indeed impulsive this time, he didn't consider many things, he could only say lightly "I know"

"I'm willing to do anything to save my friends. Even teaming up with you." Naruto's resolute words startled everyone.

"Why would they go to such lengths for Sasuke?" Sai was puzzled. Why would one or two people be so persistent against a person who betrayed the village?

"Because this is ignorant love," Xiaorou sighed. What kind of temperament is that? She was hit on the head and covered her head with tears.

"What are you talking about!" Sakura raised her fist in anger. What do you mean by love or not? Who do you love? What the hell! Then she said to Sai, "Naruto treats Sasuke as a brother. You have a brother too, right? You should understand his feelings."

"Absolutely not," Sai said expressionlessly with a fake smile, "I don't have any feelings at all."

"But if you have a brother, how would you feel if your brother is gone?" Sakura looked at Naruto's back and recalled the time when he was with Sasuke. She said to Sai

"Well... sort of." Sai looked at Naruto's sad face without any emotion in his tone. "But my brother is dead. Should I make an inner expression? When my brother died, I didn't know what expression to use."

"That's enough chatting. Let's pack up, we're leaving." Yamato clapped his hands to interrupt their chat

"Let's go," Xiaorou stood up and caught up with Naruto.

…………

"Tsunade-sama! Something terrible has happened!" Shizune rushed into the Hokage's office in a panic.

"Naruto and the others are back? Are they injured again?" Tsunade stood up and counted the days. "That's not right. They just arrived at the Sky Bridge, right?"

"It's not Naruto, it's Xiaorou. Hyuga Hiashi went to inspect the branch family today. Xiaorou's parents lost her memory. They said that their daughter died of a serious illness when she was three years old, and all her things disappeared." Shizune said seriously.

Tsunade punched the table and it broke into pieces. "Who are you talking about? Hinata Rou?!"

When the two arrived at the Hyuga branch, Kakashi was wearing a hospital gown and looked at Hyuga Yuko and Hyuga Nitta. The two knelt trembling at the bottom of the stairs. Hyuga Hiashi sat on the main seat, and Hinata, Hanabi and Neji stood beside them.

"What's going on?" Tsunade covered the two people with chakra and checked them, but frowned and waved her hand to let Shizune take them down for a detailed examination.

"Hinata Rou was indeed ill when she was three years old. She was diagnosed with a weak soul. This is true. I don't know when she recovered. It is impossible to say that she was switched. The Byakugan cannot be faked. This time I'm afraid it was premeditated." Hinata Hiashi said seriously and then looked at Kakashi. "Maybe she used this mission to use secret techniques to delete her memory and then leave. Did she contact anyone?"

"..." Kakashi stared at Tsunade in silence, and Tsunade immediately understood what he meant.

She has not come into contact with many people, and her contact is not extensive. This time her mission is to catch another spy of Akatsuki under Orochimaru. What's more troublesome is that not only is Naruto the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki there, but she also has Wood Release. The leader of Akatsuki said that he wanted to recruit her into Akatsuki. This time, it is very likely that she is going after Akatsuki.

"I know her, she's a good kid with her own ideas, I'm sure she won't hurt Naruto to help Akatsuki" Kakashi assured

"Yeah." Tsunade walked towards Konoha Hospital with Kakashi in a serious tone. She remembered clearly that she had vowed to be the backer of Naruto and Sasuke...

Uh... Naruto... Sasuke?! Tsunade's face was a little distorted

"Anbu, send a message to Kakashi's team and bring Hinata back to me." Tsunade waved her hand at the air.

"Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi was a little confused.

"If she decides to help Sasuke fulfill his wish, maybe it will be easier than joining Akatsuki." But Orochimaru is not a pushover either. "Let them recover their memories first and see if there are any clues."

Kakashi fell into deep thought. What on earth was she thinking about?
