Ah Fei looked at the group of people who suddenly broke into the cave. He didn't know why, but he always felt that these people gave him a sense of déjà vu. He was sure that he had never seen these strange people before, but he could feel it.

It seems that I have seen someone there, or seen other similar people.

The few people who broke into the cave said nothing, as if they were looking at something. A Fei looked at the blood on the swords in the hands of several people, and then looked at Kisame beside him. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "

Kisame-senpai...were these people hurting you?"

Kisame gritted his teeth fiercely, touched the blood on his body, and gritted his teeth at A Fei and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Get out of here, right now!"

Seeing that Kisame persisted, Ah Fei didn't say anything more. He came to Kisame's side, stretched out his hand to support Kisame who was still bleeding, and then a vortex twisted from the one eye on his mask,

After the whirlpool disappeared, Kisame and Fei also disappeared without a trace...

Only Naruko and Sasuke are left, these taciturn weirdos who haven't said a word yet...

Naruko stared at these people closely and asked with a serious face, "Who are you! What did you do to the teacher with thick eyebrows!"

Sasuke came to Naruko. After looking at these people up and down, he whispered to Naruko next to him, "Naruko, the clothes and weapons of these people...the style is somewhat similar to Ashes-sama..."

The moment the word "ash" came out of Sasuke's mouth, everyone present suddenly turned their heads and turned their attention to Sasuke!

Being stared at closely by this group of people, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He held the sword in his hand tightly and asked them loudly, "Who are you! What is your relationship with Lord Ashes!"

The man standing at the front was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and took off his little pointed hat. Looking at Naruko and Sasuke, he took a deep breath, slowly put away the long sword he had been carrying, and rushed

The two of them showed a smile and said, "Us? We are Ashes' old friends...a group of old friends who were swept into the garbage basket by Ashes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person behind the man who took off his helmet snorted coldly and said coldly to the man who took off his helmet, "Hawkwood, you should focus on your work instead of immersing yourself in the past."

Hit! What happens to the fire bearer is no longer our concern, he has his own problems!"

Hawkwood slowly turned his head, looked at his companions behind him, nodded lightly, and then said calmly, "You're right, brother, he has his own problems, and so do we.

But...as you said, we have our own work to do, and now it's time to finish it!"

While talking, Hawkwood put on his helmet in his hand, turned his head to Naruko, who looked surprised, nodded gently and said, "Remember to tell my old friend, just say... the escapee

Hawkwood misses him..."

After finishing speaking, Hawkwood turned his head, whispered something to his companions behind him, then turned around and left the cave without knowing where he was going.

After all the people left, Naruko let out a long breath and whispered to Sasuke next to her, "This is really not good. Those people just now are obviously the enemies of Grandpa Ashes. They...are here to find Ashes."

Grandpa’s?”

Sasuke frowned, shook his head and said seriously, "It doesn't seem like it, they seem to have other purposes, but I can only ask Master Ashes about what they are. Now... we should still care about the situation of other people!"

"

After saying this, Sasuke put away the sword in his hand and left the cave with Naruko.

As soon as they walked out of the cave, Naruko and Sasuke saw Kakashi and others rushing over to support Metkai, who was also injured and panting, and Gaara, who had fallen into a coma...

Seeing that Naruko and Sasuke were fine, Kakashi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and said to Metkai, "It seems that those people didn't hurt these two children..."

Seeing that everyone was safe, Naruko couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and curiously asked the panting Metkai, "Teacher Thick Eyebrows, what happened just now, are these people..."

Metkai shook his head gently and said with a serious face, "I don't know who they are. They suddenly appeared at the place where I was fighting with Kisame Ingakaki. They seemed to be looking for something... and wanted to ask me and Kisame something."

, that shark man didn’t answer their questions, but made provocations, and the result is like this..."

Hearing this, Naruko asked in surprise, "Why do they even beat you?"

Metkai shook his head gently and said helplessly, "You should say that they were lucky not to kill me. I'm pretty sure they have this ability. Those people...were all like emotionless monsters. They started to attack me."

No mercy, in their eyes, I who am fighting Kisame... are probably classified as one of the same kind as Kisame by them."

Looking at Metkai who was covered in wounds, Naruko frowned slightly, turned her head and asked Sakura who was following Kakashi, "Sakura-chan, please treat the wounds of Mr. Thick Eyebrows quickly."

As soon as Naruko finished speaking, Metkai shook his head, pointed at Gaara who was being held by Xiao Li, and said, "This is just a skin injury, it's nothing serious. Now I'd better take care of the Fifth Kazekage! Get it cured quickly."

He is the point."

Granny Chiyo, who had been silent all this time, looked at the dying Gaara, shook her head gently and said, "One tail has been extracted... Extracting the tailed beast is fatal to the Jinchūriki, although Gaara is still breathing now,

But this is probably because the extraction of one tail was interrupted by us. This cannot be solved by medical ninjutsu."

Hearing Granny Chiyo's words, Naruko shook her head and said with a serious face, "No, granny! What Sakura-chan masters is not medical ninjutsu. Which...what is it called?"

Sakura took a deep look at the unconscious Gaara, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the power called miracle taught to me by Fireproof Lady and Ashes!"

Saying this, Xiao Ying nodded slightly towards Xiao Li and said, "Put him on the ground, I... try it."

Hearing Sakura's words, Xiao Li nodded gently and gently placed Gaara on the ground.

Looking at Gaara with his eyes tightly closed, Sakura walked over slowly, took out the talisman given by the fireproof girl and Ashes from her arms, took a deep breath, and held the talisman tightly in her arms.

In her hands, clasped together in front of her chest, she whispered in a language that no one else understood.

Golden light slowly flickered out from Sakura's hand. This was not a dazzling light, but a warm light like the warm sun. The light gradually transferred from Sakura's hand to Gaara, who was lying motionless on the ground.

Light poured into Gaara's body, and his eyes that were originally closed trembled slightly. Under everyone's nervous gaze, Gaara opened his eyes...

Looking at the people around him, Gaara was in a daze. Looking at Gaara who slowly stood up, Granny Chiyo was stunned. Looking at Sakura who was a little weak, she whispered softly, "This is really... a miracle...

"

"Grandma Chiyo? Naruko? What... happened here? How did I..."

Seeing the red-haired boy in front of her wake up, Naruko smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to pull up Gaara who was still sitting on the ground and said, "It's okay now, you're saved!"

Hearing this, Gaara, who had walked in front of the gate of hell, gradually regained his consciousness, took a deep look at Naruko, then smiled bitterly and said, "You saved me again, thank you, Naruko...

"

…

The Fifth Kazekage was rescued, but the One-Tail also disappeared from his body without a trace. Although Gaara got rid of the Whispering One-Tail a long time ago, now, the One-Tail has been living in his body.

After the monster truly disappeared, Gaara felt a little empty...

Looking at the somewhat lost Gaara, Naruko, who was escorting him back to Sand Hidden, frowned slightly, calmed down and asked softly to the Kyuubi residing in her body, "Kuro Lama, you said one day you would

What if it disappears from my body too...what should I do?"

Hearing Naruko's question, Jiulama couldn't help but be startled, and then he sneered and said disdainfully, "That's really a good thing for me! I've long wanted to get rid of you, this annoying little brat! And since your whole family

Leaving me means that I will never have to see that scary monster again!"

Hearing Kyuubi's complaints, Naruko couldn't help but chuckle, and then said helplessly, "Don't say that...Grandpa Ashes is a completely good person! He is also the one who connected you and me and made us friends."

Isn’t it? If one day you really disappear, I will definitely be very lonely..."

Kyuubi snorted, curled his lips and whispered, "I'm sure you won't feel lonely. You have many friends, and you don't lack me~"

"Then you still don't know me well enough..."

…

The rescue mission of the Fifth Kazekage was successfully completed! No one was sacrificed, and the rescue target was successfully rescued... The only fly in the ointment was the one that was taken away by the Akatsuki organization, and the ashes of 'old friends' that left Naruko and Sasuke hanging in their throats.

!

Naruko is a warm-hearted person, and she always likes to worry about other people's things. This is one of the reasons why Naruko can gain a large number of sincere friends...

But now, what Naruko is worried about is Ashes that no one else is worried about, her Grandpa Ashes...

Those people with wanton evil spirits seriously injured Kisame and Metkai. They looked like Ash Firebender and Clara's compatriots. They looked like an army. All Naruko could feel from them was

Endless indifference!

In any case, she could not connect such a group of people with the Ashes she knew. She could not imagine how Ashes could have enmity with such a group of people...

Although in Naruko's eyes, Ashes is an invincible person, that is only for them. What if they were Ashes' fellow countrymen? Will they have the same level of power as Ashes? Or even worse? Will they?
