Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 65 Sakura is kidnapped

In the following days, Yoru, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura took turns protecting Tazuna as he built the bridge.

Zabuza hasn't appeared in the last few days.

Kakashi, on the other hand, stayed with the group protecting Tazuna.

After all, Tazuna was the target of this mission, and Kakashi wouldn't feel at ease without personally protecting him.

In just a few days, Yoru had mastered dozens of ninjutsu, and even had completely mastered the Lightning Blade.

He is currently learning sealing techniques from Kakashi.

Kakashi was shocked by Yoru's learning speed, even though she had already demonstrated an astonishing learning speed before.

But now Yoru has mastered enough ninjutsu to qualify him as an elite Jonin; his raw strength is already sufficient to make him an elite Jonin.

All that's missing is practical experience.

Ye Yu values practical experience very much.

Kakashi, however, disagreed. He believed that Yoru already possessed the strength of an elite Jonin, even without much combat experience.

Defeating Yoru is extremely difficult when facing an elite Jonin.

Several weeks later, after everything had gone smoothly, Ye Yu returned from his cultivation in the back mountain.

As soon as he stepped into Tazna's house, he sensed something was wrong.

Ye Yu stopped at the door, her hand hovering in mid-air as she was about to open it.

"It's so quiet," she murmured to herself.

Ye Yu took a step back.

"Whoosh~"

They vanished from the spot like ghosts.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Yu appeared in the room on the second floor where they had been staying for the past few days.

He entered the room from the balcony, chakra gathering beneath his feet.

Walking on the wooden planks made no sound.

Seeing that the room was as tidy as ever, Ye Yu turned and walked downstairs.

Quiet, a quietness unlike any other.

There was no Tsunami busy in the kitchen, nor Inari running around in the hallway.

Sakura was nowhere to be found in the room.

From the second floor to the first floor, I didn't see Tsunami, nor did I see Inari or Sakura.

At the dining table, Yoru saw a letter.

After hesitating for a moment, Yoru gathered chakra in his hands, and the golden chakra formed gloves that enveloped Yoru's hands.

Upon opening the envelope, Ye Yu's expression turned serious.

"Something really has happened. It seems like they've clearly set a trap for me to fall into."

That's right, this letter is a kidnapping letter.

The person in the letter had captured Sakura, Tsunami, and Inari, and ordered them to meet him at the back of the mountain.

If Yoru hadn't appeared by sunset, they would kill Sakura, Tsunami, and Inari.

After a moment's thought, Ye Yu headed towards the back mountain.

He did not inform Kakashi.

There's not enough time.

Ye Yu, speeding along the road, had a solemn expression on her face.

Thinking to himself, "They actually knew when I would return from my training. It seems they've been lying in wait for a long time. Their purpose in kidnapping Sakura and the others is to stall me."

"Their real goal is to assassinate old man Tazuna. I reckon Zabuza and his men have already appeared with Kakashi."

Ye Yu pondered.

Yoru knew very well that after his previous battle with Zabuza, Zabuza must know that Kakashi and Yoru together were not someone he could defeat.

So the reason they hired someone to kidnap Sakura and the others was to stall Yoru.

If Zabuza were to assassinate Tazuna again, and only deal with Kakashi, he would be very confident that he could kill Tazuna.

It would be even easier if you had help.

Even knowing all this, Ye Yu could only follow in the other person's footsteps.

Unless he doesn't care about Sakura and the others' safety, which Yoru can't actually do.

Soon, Ye Yu arrived at the location indicated in the letter.

Deep in the forest, there is a small wooden cabin.

At this moment, inside the cabin, Sakura, Tsunami, and Inari were tied to wooden stakes.

His body was covered with a dense array of explosive tags.

Before them sat three rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

The leader was a ninja with long green hair and sharp teeth. This person was none other than Raiga Kurosuki, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The two people standing behind him were two Chunin from Kirigakure.

After learning that Yoru's strength was comparable to that of a Jonin, Zabuza sought out Raiga Kurosuki, who was also a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

Kado also paid an extra commission for an S-level mission.

Although it hurt, Gato paid the price in order to kill Tazna and stop the construction of the bridge across the sea.

Kurosuki Raiga looked at the three people tied up in front of him with an indifferent expression. "Don't worry, once that kid arrives, I'll send you all to your deaths. After you're dead, I'll hold a grand funeral for you, hahaha!"

Kurozuki Raiga laughed maniacally.

Sakura struggled and retorted angrily, "You green-haired monster won't succeed. When Kakashi-sensei and Yoru arrive, they will definitely defeat you."

"Hahaha, ignorant little girl, Kakashi has probably already been killed by Zabuza by now."

"As for that brat named Ye Yu, I admit he does have some skill."

"But I have the three of you in my hands. Your foolish camaraderie in Konoha makes it impossible for him to disregard your safety."

"No matter how fast he is, he can't outrun the explosive speed of the tags on your bodies."

"What a pity. That kid was really a genius. He was going to die trying to save a stupid little girl like you. What a shame."

These past few days, Kurozuki Raiga and two of his subordinates have been observing Yoru for a long time.

He was naturally aware of the progress Ye Yu had made in his cultivation these past few days.

If Sakura hadn't been tied up, Raiga Kurosuki wouldn't have been confident he could kill Yoru.

But now, with three hostages in hand, and based on observations over the past few days, Yoru and Sakura seem to have a good relationship.

Raiga Kurosuki didn't believe that Yoru wouldn't abandon Sakura.

This is his bottom line.

In addition, there are the two Thunder Blades Fang in my hand.

He was a Jonin, a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The power of the Raikou Kiba made him no weaker than an average elite Jonin, and even stronger than an average Jonin.

With the assistance of two Chunin by his side, Raiga Kurosuki couldn't imagine how he could possibly lose.

Upon hearing Raiga Kurosuki's words, Inari thought of his father.

Isn't that how he died before?

Thinking of what Naruto and he had said that day, Inari felt despair.

"Indeed, there are no heroes in this world. Everyone who wants to be a hero is a fool and will die."

"Overestimating one's abilities, people are always so overestimating their abilities."

Inari muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face.

Originally, after Naruto talked to him that day, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.

But now, hope is shattered, and Inari is completely devastated.

Jinbo looked pale.

She understood what Raiga Kurosuki meant.

She knew that she and the others were doomed.
