Finally, Sasuke said calmly.

"Sasuke, something-"

"Get out of here, or I'll kill you!"

Sasuke turned his head suddenly, his body wrapped with extremely cold chakra, and his red three-magatama Sharingan stared at Shikamaru's hesitant face, his tone was solemn.

"What did you say suddenly, Sasuke?"

Naruto came over and was about to argue with Sasuke when Shikamaru stopped him directly.

"Forget it, Naruto, let's go out first and let Sasuke be alone here for a while."

Shikamaru continued to sigh as if surrendering, and pulled Naruto to stop irritating the current Sasuke.

Although the others were worried about Sasuke's situation, considering that Sasuke might really need to be alone now, they had no choice but to obey and follow Shikamaru out of the cold room and close the door.

Everyone came outside, and everyone's face was obviously depressed.

"Shikamaru, Sasuke, what will he do..."

Sakura couldn't help but ask.

Ino also worried: "Yes, what happened to Sasuke? His chakra is very cold, and he is completely different from before."

In the past, Sasuke's chakra aura was cold, but it was not this cold.

This kind of coldness gave her a very bad feeling, full of malice and madness.

"I don't know the specifics. However, the dead bodies in the room... are probably Sasuke's clan members."

Shikamaru's words were astonishing.

The rest of the people were stunned and fell into a long state of shock, unable to speak.

"But, since it is a corpse, shouldn't it be buried underground?"

Ya said at a loss.

"Even the corpses of ninjas with the blood inheritance limit have extremely high research value. I'm afraid these corpses were transported here for this reason."

Shikamaru didn't know how to put an expression on his face that matched this situation.

"Who did it?"

"It's probably the high-ranking person named Danzo. One of his eyes that was exposed that day was a more advanced Sharingan."

"In other words, the eyes missing from those corpses..."

Naruto and the others gulped and thought of a very scary possibility.

Shikamaru closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, regained his composure, and said: "Ah, even if it is unbelievable, I'm afraid the truth is like -"

Shikamaru was just halfway through his words.

Suddenly, the roar of an explosion interrupted his speech.

The wall of the refrigerator room protruded outwards, and there were terrible cracks. Warm air seeped vaguely from the wall of the refrigerator room.

"Oops!"

Shikamaru guessed something, and his expression changed instantly.

The sound of explosions and burning flames continued to come from the refrigerator room.

Hot gas floated out from the gap in the iron door of the refrigerator room.

Suddenly, there was another sharp cry of birds, and the iron door was blasted open from the inside.

Sasuke stood in the aisle with a fierce thunderbolt in his hand, letting out a low sneer.

"Sasuke!"

Just as everyone was about to step forward, Sasuke ignored them, turned around, and started galloping towards the depths of the corridor without looking back.

"Stop!"

Naruto was furious and wanted to chase him.

Shikamaru grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar, causing him to stumble to the ground.

"Wait, it's dangerous."

As soon as he finished saying this, an unusually terrifying breath arose in the refrigerator room, and then a columnar wave of fire shot out from the opened iron door, impacting the opposite wall until the wall became hot and turned red.

This scene made Naruto extremely scared.

If Shikamaru hadn't intercepted him, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The temperature of the surrounding air begins to rise and becomes extremely hot.

Shikamaru knew what Sasuke was planning.

He planned to burn these corpses so that his people could rest in peace and avoid being desecrated again.

"Why did that guy Sasuke run away again? What on earth is he going to do?"

He covered his mouth and nose with his teeth, and the high temperature of the flames made his and the others' faces start to turn red, which was reflected by the firelight, and their mouths were dry.

"I'm afraid Sasuke is going to..."

Shikamaru's face darkened as he thought of an unpleasant possibility.

Although he wanted to refute this idea in his heart, based on the analysis of the existing information, the possibility of Sasuke making that kind of decision was very high.

"Afraid of what?"

"Ino, you stay."

Shikamaru said to Ino.

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes, you go to the Hokage Building immediately and find a way to get in touch with the above and get support. Let's stop Sasuke and act fast! It's late, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"What's too late? What on earth are you talking about, Shikamaru?"

Shino, who was silent at the side, suddenly said:

"Shikamaru means... Sasuke may defect from the village, and he must be stopped now!"

◎

I don't know how much time passed, but Naruto and the others, who rushed out of the cave, immediately noticed that the surrounding environment was a little strange.

The cave is surrounded by dense bushes, and the surrounding trees are also very tall. They are so lush that you can barely see the sky when you look up. You can only vaguely see a trace of clear light through the mesh formed by the leaves.

There was no human breath around, only the sound of leaves rubbing against the air and the sound of people breathing.

"Hey, where are we? Why do you feel like you've arrived at an amazing place?"

Ya asked in surprise after looking around.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth, as if he had realized something.

"If the prediction is correct, I'm afraid this is already outside the village."

"What? Did the passage just now mean..."

The others opened their mouths in surprise.

"Without further ado, from now on, everyone should start to accelerate with all their strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Sasuke."

Shikamaru's face was serious. Although there were still some doubts here, the most critical thing now was to find Sasuke and bring him back to the village.

I just don’t know what’s going on with Ino and whether he has contacted the higher-ups.

"Okay, come with me! Sasuke's position is over here!"

Kiba's body leaped out, and Sasuke's scent remained on the road, allowing him to clearly know which direction Sasuke was running from.

The others followed closely behind Ya, using all their strength to accelerate.

"But is it really okay for just the seven of us to chase after us? If there is an ambush among them..."

Shino pushed up his sunglasses and began to speak.

Like Shikamaru, he noticed something strange here and thought that he might encounter an ambush along the way.

"use this."

Shikamaru took out a flare from his ninja bag, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the rifling.

Phew~

The flare flew quickly into the sky, making sound and light.

"Although this is outside the village, it should also fall under the jurisdiction of the village. There should be many patrolling ninjas around, attract them and let them join."

Shikamaru analyzed while running.

Moreover, there are white eyes in the team, so there is no need to worry about falling into so-called traps on the road.

Even if there are traps, they can be eliminated quickly.

All Shikamaru could do was to eliminate the risk of accidents as much as possible and bring Sasuke back to the village.

…

Sasuke flew forward alone on the strong branches of the trees.

This forest is so vast that even after running for so long, there is still no end in sight.

The forest air was filled with a dry and cool atmosphere, but Sasuke was not in the mood to enjoy it.

His red eyes were filled with dark colors, as if his whole person had fallen into a numb and empty state, losing all emotion.

Immediately, he heard a sound from the sky.

There is also a dazzling light that is more dazzling than the sun's rays, erupting in the sky.
