In the center of the arena, the two combatants began to exchange blows.
Naruto continued feeding his wife; the grilled meat was cut into small pieces and fed using sharpened small toothpicks.
Eating large chunks would affect her image too much, which Hinata politely refused.
Little loli Hanabi was also eating, occasionally glancing sideways at Naruto.
This guy... acting like this... forget it, this young lady won't lower herself to your level.
Hanabi knew her older sister loved to eat, and didn't care much if it was delicious or not. This blond guy before her could actually summon food – this was simply...
Cheating!
Today was the first time Hanabi had seen her sister smile so happily. Different from her smiles at home, this kind of smile made one feel she was truly happy.
Naruto's feeding actions didn't stop. His eyes watched the arena, while internally he thought:
[Kick him! Right, kick the stomach! Let him feel motherly love!]
[Shock him! Why aren't you shocking him!? What's the use of shocking the sand? Shocking the sand is like shocking his mother!]
In the arena.
The Sand Shield, possessed by Gaara's mother's will, wrapped Gaara like an egg, protecting him inside.
Sasuke was currently using Chidori to peel the egg.
He was inspired after seeing Naruto break through the Rotation in that previous match.
If running faster than the Rotation can break the Rotation, then if my cutting speed is faster than the sand can gather, won't this move be broken?
Calculating his chakra amount, Sasuke began cutting.
Cut him out, and I win. If I run out of chakra after the fight, I'll just replenish it.
Naruto watched Sasuke in the arena, dodging sand with movements more difficult than fancy gymnastics while still managing to effortlessly slice off large swathes of sand, feeling speechless.
Brother, who taught you to be so straightforward? Does Itachi know?
"Naruto-kun." Hinata rolled her eyes at Naruto.
"Ah, oh." Naruto resumed skewering meat and feeding her; his actions had paused while he was lost in thought.
Watching Sasuke still peeling the egg in the arena, Naruto snickered inwardly. Keep trying! There's a prize for opening the egg.
Only a thin layer of the sand egg remained; Sasuke could already see inside through the sand.
"What is this!"
"Boom!"
A large hand punched through the sand layer, sending Sasuke flying.
"Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana Technique!" Kabuto, hidden in the crowd, released a large-scale genjutsu.
Simultaneously, smoke bombs exploded on the viewing platform where the Third Hokage was – this was the signal.
The signal for the start of the Konoha Crush plan.
Feathers drifted down from the air; the audience, controlled by the genjutsu, fell asleep.
Sound ninja disguised as audience members leaped up one after another, launching attacks on Konoha ninja.
Naruto stood up, opened a portal. "Give me Hanabi."
The three of them were unaffected; those two had Byakugan, Naruto had the fox spirit. Even without the fox spirit, this genjutsu was useless against Naruto.
"Mm." Hinata handed Naruto a loli.
"Hey hey, what are you doing!?" Hanabi, being pulled by Naruto, started struggling.
"Don't fuss, sending you home."
Hanabi was too young; she couldn't protect herself in this environment. Had to send her away first.
As long as I want to marry Hinata, Hanabi can't have any mishaps.
If something happened to this little loli, the entire Hyuga clan would stand up and say – I object to this marriage!
At the back gate of the Hyuga compound, there were still guards, watching Naruto warily.
Naruto released little loli Hanabi. "You go in first. I'll go get your sister."
The little loli also rolled her eyes at Naruto.
Naruto turned and teleported back to the arena.
Just as he returned, he saw Kakashi and Sakura standing beside Hinata.
"Sent her off?" Kakashi asked.
"Mm."
Naruto created a Shadow Clone. "Hinata, you go home too. Sakura... you go to the Hyuga house as well."
Thinking about it, there wasn't really any other good place to send her, could only send her to the Hyuga house. Just consider it the in-laws visiting early.
"Naruto-kun, I..."
"Be good." Naruto used his head-patting kill skill.
Hinata can't have any mishaps either. If something happens, who will I marry?
"Naruto, I know medical ninjutsu! I should be able to help, right?" Sakura didn't want to leave; Sasuke was still in the arena.
"Wait until it's over, then you can go to the hospital."
"But Sasuke..."
"Relax."
Two clones pulled his wife and future mother-in-law away.
Actually, Sakura could be sent to the safest place in Konoha – the Hokage Monument. But Naruto was afraid Sakura would run around randomly.
Naruto also thought, If I had transmigrated as an ordinary Konoha person, I should be sitting on the Hokage Monument watching the show right now. Then, upon hearing news of Jiraiya's death, go camp out by the Hokage Monument until Konoha is completely destroyed. During the Fourth Shinobi World War night, pop a sleeping pill, get a good night's sleep, and wake up the next day to everything being fine.
Basically could live steadily until death, not much survival pressure.
Or shamelessly go work part-time at Ichiraku, could also live until death.
"Kakashi-sensei, you handle things here first. I'm going to find Sasuke!"
"Mm." He somewhat approved of Naruto's actions just now. Hanabi and Hinata were from the Hyuga main family; there was a possibility of their eyes being stolen. Sakura counted as a medical ninja; medical ninja shouldn't be directly on the battlefield.
Konoha, at this moment, already counted as a battlefield.
Naruto directly opened a portal and teleported to the center of the arena where he had stood before.
Gaara was currently squatting, head in hands, resisting Shukaku's erosion.
Sasuke had already gotten up and walked over to Naruto's side.
Shiranui Genma flickered in front of the two, confronting Baki, Temari, and Kankuro who arrived simultaneously.
Temari supported Gaara; Kankuro glared angrily at Naruto.
Baki turned back and gave the siblings a look, meaning 'Take Gaara away first'.
Naruto gave Sasuke a look: Figure it out yourself.
Just as the siblings started running with Gaara on their backs, the two (Naruto and Sasuke) instantly took off.
Baki was just about to intercept but was cut off by Shiranui Genma. "Your opponent is me!"
Naruto and Sasuke pushed their speed to the limit, catching up to Temari and Kankuro not far from the wall. Naruto kicked Kankuro onto the wall again.
"I actually again..." Before finishing, Kankuro fainted.
Naruto rapidly retreated. The portal he had started opening while running over was slowly taking shape.
Sasuke, slightly slower than Naruto, also kicked Temari.
"This handsome guy's heart is crueler than that pineapple head's..." Temari didn't faint, but she also vomited blood, losing her combat ability.
"Little brother, knock him away!"
Naruto stood before the portal and shouted.
Sasuke frowned slightly and kicked Gaara towards Naruto.
Naruto caught Gaara and immediately activated the portal.
Three seconds later, Naruto returned again.
"Where's Gaara!?" Baki, clashing kunai with Shiranui Genma over there, roared.
"Guess?" Naruto grinned, utterly pleased with himself.
"I'm older than you," Sasuke walked over, frowning.
"Ah, right. It's all Konohamaru's fault for calling me big brother, got me confused," Naruto decisively shifted the blame.
"Where's Gaara?" Sasuke didn't want to argue too much about forms of address.
"Want to continue fighting?"
"Mm."
"Let's go."
Kakashi fought off three Sound ninja, recalling the hand he saw earlier, the more he thought, the more it resembled the One-Tail. Then he saw Naruto teleport Gaara away.
Good thing Naruto came back. It set his mind at ease.
Then he saw Naruto and Sasuke exchange a few words and teleport away again. His Sharingan could even see Sasuke frown first, then relax, and finally, the corner of his mouth lift upwards.
Could those two really be going to fight a Tailed Beast?!
"Thump!"
Guy kicked away a Sound ninja preparing a sneak attack on Kakashi: "Yo, Kakashi! Daydreaming on the battlefield? That's not like you!"
Hatake Gojo looked melancholic: "I was just kidding back then."
Back then, it was just a passing thought; how did it actually come true!?
Guy was utterly confused.
————
Meanwhile, the two emerged from the portal.
Naruto looked at Gaara, who was almost completely controlled, and really wanted to shout: Shukaku! Come out and soak your feet!
The location of the three – the middle of the sea in the Land of Waves!
