Naruto: Straight men will have a hard time surviving in the Sasuke-Naruto novel

Somewhere high in the mountains, on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Birds.

"The location ahead is what the intelligence indicates." Kakashi stood on the treetops and looked into the distance. The valley below was very quiet, yet very noisy. The only sounds he could hear were the rustling of falling leaves and the whimpering of the wind blowing through the valley. This seemed a little unusual.

It has been a long time since Samsara went out on the mission, but there has been no news at all. I don’t know if I can find any news this time I come here.

"Senior Kakashi, aren't you in a hurry to get on with your journey?" Jiuye Xuelan looked depressed under the tree.

He thought he could find Samsara by following Kakashi, but he saw nothing after rushing all the way. Although Kakashi asked him to go back, he was not a ninja and did not need to obey his orders.

Besides, he came from Konoha. After asking around, he found out that Rinnegan was not in Konoha at all. She must have been on a mission. It was probably just a feeling. He should be able to find Rinnegan by following Kakashi.

Kakashi looked down at Jiuye Xuelan, "Master Jiuye, please don't follow me. I'm on a mission."

"Of course I know, so can't I help you?" Jiu Ye Xue Lan had heard these words so many times along the way that her ears were almost callused from them.

What a hassle.

Kakashi really didn't want to admit that this Jiuye Xuelan was just like Rinnegan, a stubborn person. He looked easy to talk to, but in fact, he would never change his mind once he made up his mind. But if something went wrong if he let him follow him, he didn't know how to explain to Lord Jiuye.

"No need to think so much, just keep moving forward, Kakashi-senpai." Jiuye Xuelan yawned and looked very bored.

"Yeah." Kakashi jumped down from the treetops and continued to move towards the valley.

He can't be driven away, and following him is also a hassle. Unfortunately, he is quite strong and there is no way to get rid of him.

Soon, the two reached the halfway point of the mountain, but before they could move forward, Kakashi felt that something was wrong with the aura around them. He stopped and signaled Jiuye Xuelan to hide.

Soon, Kakashi felt that something, or rather someone, that was wrong appeared.

The person had beautiful long light blonde hair and eyes like purple grapes. He was looking at the bell in his hand. The bell was also a little strange. No matter how he shook it, it would not make any sound. Instead, it would show different degrees of brightness depending on the direction.

"It should be nearby, but I can't find it. Is it a barrier?" The woman whispered, frowning. She looked back at the valley and continued, "Does it mean it's inside the valley?"

"Aster?" Jiuye Xuelan called out.

"Who?" This voice made Ziyuan alert, and she threw the fallen leaves beside her with her right hand. The thin leaves passed by like a sharp blade, but the speed was a little too fast. Even though Jiuye Xuelan reacted in time, a strand of her long hair was still cut by the leaves.

"How cruel." Jiu Ye Xue Lan finally came out from the bushes, touching his broken hair with a look of heartache. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the leaves hurt his handsome cheek.

Seeing a familiar person, Ziyuan did not lower her guard. She held the bell in her left hand and caught a fallen leaf in her right hand. Her purple eyes were full of vigilance.

How did this person appear here? Did he follow me? Or does he have some other purpose?

"Why are you here?" asked Aster.

"This is what I want to ask, why are you here?" Jiu Ye Xue Lan didn't dare to get close to Zi Wan. She used to think that this girl was a little willful and capricious, but now she has matured a lot. At least her strength has increased a lot, and she can deserve the title of "Witch".

"Answer my question first."

"What do you mean by 'this lord'? I am not a guard of your witch mansion. Don't act so superior to me. I am not a good person."

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense. Kakashi sighed and thought, how come kids these days start quarreling after just a few words? Can't they be a little gentler?

Kakashi sighed, "Good morning, miko-sama. I am Kakashi Hatake, a ninja from Konoha. You should have seen me before. I am carrying out an important mission. I am not here to pursue you, and you are not my target."

Hearing this, Ziyuan finally let down her guard and let the leaves in her hand fall to the ground. She frowned, as if she had a strange feeling, or maybe it was a guess, "What mission?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you, but you should know it clearly." Kakashi said.

Indeed. Ziyuan didn't want to continue talking to them, so she just turned around and walked towards the valley, "Just pretend you haven't seen me."

She was leaving without even saying goodbye, and Jiuye Xuelan felt something was wrong. "Are you looking for someone? Is that person in the valley?"

valley……

Ziyuan then stopped and turned her head slowly, "I'm looking for Fei."

"What's wrong with her?" Jiu Ye Xue Lan had a good impression of the girl, probably because she was very gentle, always smiling at everyone, and sometimes a little silly and cute, which made him feel confident as a brother.

There seemed to be no problem when they separated, and Fei and Ziyuan seemed to have a good relationship. Thinking of Ziyuan's temper as a spoiled young lady, Jiuye Xuelan seemed to have imagined a big drama in her mind.

He continued, "Did you have a quarrel with her? You should control your temper. She is just a little girl, helpless and alone..."

"She was kidnapped." Ziyuan interrupted Jiuye Xuelan's imagination.

How could she have a bad temper? She was just very anxious, so she had to be alert.

Her journey was full of dangers. Not only did she have to be careful of the maids sent by Yunjie, but she also had to be careful of the Ryunin bandits who might appear at any time.

Kidnapped? "Who would kidnap her? And why?" Jiuye Xuelan was puzzled, but she felt it was normal. After all, the identity of a concubine was very strange, and no one knew where she came from.

Shiwan glanced at Kakashi and said nothing.

The Uchiha clan has disappeared in the dark night of Konoha. It would not benefit anyone to mention Fei's life experience at this moment, so they can only bury it all in their hearts.

"Who kidnapped her?" Jiu Ye Xue Lan continued to ask.

Ziyuan didn't want to continue to argue, but she also knew that if she didn't tell him, Jiuye Xuelan would definitely come after her and ask her questions based on her personality.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Ziyuan could feel that Jiuye Xuelan valued his friends very much and really regarded Fei as a companion, and she felt the same way.

After a few seconds of silence, Aster finally spoke out, "A man wearing a mask, in the Iron Kingdom," she looked up at Jiuye Xuelan, "Reincarnation and Ethan also knew."

"They know that too? Then what are you doing..."

"I found items she used in the room and used Yin-Yang magic to track her down. I recently found the area near this valley, but I can't get any closer. It's like there's a layer of fog covering it, so I can't get any closer."

After hearing what the two said, Kakashi felt that things might be more complicated than he thought. He looked at the two and said, "Reincarnation also disappeared around here, so it is likely that our goal is the same."

"You mean, he is also here to look for the masked man?" Jiuye Xuelan's heart suddenly jumped. It seemed that her feeling was correct. Sure enough, she could find Samsara by following Kakashi.

Ziyuan didn't expect that they would find this area first. There seemed to be a mystery hidden in this valley, and no one knew what the big problem was.

"This matter may involve serious matters. No one knows the purpose behind the masked man. I need to notify Konoha first." Kakashi immediately summoned Puck and asked him to go back and pass on the information. On the other hand, he was also thinking about the current situation. There was no doubt that Otogakure was in the valley.

After Puck left, Kakashi looked toward the valley, "Let's keep going."

Moreover, Kakashi seemed to be able to feel a slight pain in his left eye, as if he had sensed something. He had the same feeling when he saw the masked man's eyes before. He hoped it was just an illusion.

The Kingdom of Fire.

"Fujita, is winter coming?"

"Yes, sir, Master Xuelan has..."

"I know he is going to complete his mission."
