THE PATH OF LIFE || U. SASUKE

CHAPTER 32

"Kakashi look within the barrier" As Guy's words resonated in Kakashi's ears, he swiftly redirected his attention towards the barrier that encapsulated the battle.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he beheld the unexpected sight within. "Orochimaru"

Guy then shook his head "No, look at the pole within it"

However, Guy's words drew Kakashi's gaze to the other figure, and his heart skipped a beat. "Yatsuragi-san"

'Yatsuragi-san?' As the gravity of the situation sank in, Sakura's mind raced with thoughts and concerns.

She recalled the conversation she had overheard, piecing together the puzzle surrounding Yatsuragi's involvement with Orochimaru and the true extent of his dangerous collaboration.

"According to Hokage-Sama, he is specifically after the shirazaki kid." Asuma's words further deepened the understanding of Yatsuragi's motives.

It became clear that Y/N was the primary target of the legendary ninja, a fact that sent a shiver down Sakura's spine.

Y/N's formidable skills and reputation made her a coveted prize for those seeking power and dominance. No more specifically it was her clan's reputation.

Kurenai's remark about Yatsuragi being the most feared legendary ninja intensified the sense of danger and urgency.

The realization that Y/N's life and well-being were at stake sparked a surge of concern within Sakura.

"Why Y/N?" Iruka questioned, his confusion echoing the sentiments shared by Sakura.

Sakura struggled to comprehend why someone as exceptional as Y/N would be targeted with such intent.

Kurenai's blunt response cut through the air, highlighting the grim reality. "Idiot, it's all for power, what else? She is the sole shirazaki, so there must be something crucial." Her words held a somber truth, emphasizing the lengths some individuals would go to harness the strength and abilities that Y/N possessed.

Sakura's heart sank at the realization that her friend was now in imminent danger. Her worry for Y/N grew palpable as she looked to her side, silently contemplating the peril that awaited them all.

"Does that mean Y/N is in danger?" Sakura's concern for Y/N grew more pronounced as she mumbled about her friend being in danger.

"Y/N-chan," Sakura called out, only to find the seat empty.

'What? Y/N disappeared?' The realization that Y/N had disappeared added a sense of urgency to the situation.

However, before Sakura could fully process the situation, she was interrupted by Kakashi's instructions.

"Sakura, you are to nullify the genjutsu on Naruto and Shikamaru, and then track down Y/N and Sasuke"

'Sasuke-kun? He left too'

 Sakura's thoughts were filled with concern, realizing that not only Y/N but Sasuke had also disappeared.

Sakura swiftly moved to nullify the genjutsu on Naruto, her expertise in academic knowledge allowing her to dispel the illusion and bring him back to awareness.

She then turned her attention to Shikamaru, only to find that he had already freed himself from the genjutsu.

With Kakashi's guidance, Sakura grasped the urgency of the situation. She was to chase after Y/N, join forces with her, and stop her from whatever course of action she might have taken.
