Chapter 328: Side Arc Part-4: Konoha 12 vs Gang of Four Part-1

Chapter 328: Side Arc Part-4: Konoha 12 vs Gang of Four Part-1

A/N:-The side arc and current arc are going side by side at the same time. I didn't want to post everything separately and thus will post side chapters in between. At one point, both side arc and the mc arc will converge. Also, don't forget to vote with power stones.

Also, if you have spare change; then sign up on my pa treon to read up to 40+ advance chapters of this series and around 40 chapters of another series Naruto: The Weapon Shop Owner. Pa treon is a monthly subscription system now which counts the number of days rather than the first of each month. So, if you sign up on 30th of a month, your subscription will end on 30th of next month rather than 1st of each month like it used to charging you twice.

"Ino! Sakura!"

Whoosh whoosh

Naruto, Sasuke, and the rest of the group flickers towards them.

They notice Sakura and Ino trembling in fear.

"What's the matter, Sakura, Ino?"

Sasuke flickers in front of them.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Both girls sprint and hug him. Sasuke flinches at this, but he places a hand on their back to calm them down.

Tch

"Popular Guy!"

Naruto clicks his tongue.

"Have you calmed down?"

Sasuke asks them.

"Now tell me what's the matter?"

"There!"

Both girls point towards a cavern.

"Another passage?!"

Sasuke slowly pushes them away and walks towards the cavern.

He activates his Sharingan and unsheathes his katana.

"This is"

Sasuke's eyes widen in horror.

Click

He clicks his tongue and looks away.

"What's the matter, Sasuke?!"

Naruto places down Sora and walks towards Sasuke.

"See for yourself?!"

Naruto enters the passage and notices the strewn pieces of flesh, organs, bones spread across the cavern. The walls, floor, and ceiling of the caverns are painted with the blood of the dead bodies.

AH!

Naruto's expression freezes and his legs tremble in fear.

Gulp

He gulps his saliva.

"Demons! It must be demons!"

He continues to shake in fear.

Sigh

Sasuke sighs and pulls Naruto with him.

The rest of the people also gather in front of the cavern.

"What's the matter, Sasuke?" Kakashi asks him.

"Sensei it's"

Swish swish

Multiple kunais fly towards them.

Clang clang clang

The group easily deflects the kunais and raises their guard.

Whoosh whoosh

Multiple figures in a dark blue uniform with gold trimmings surround them.

"FREEZE!"

They place blades around every member of the Konoha group.

A tall and slender woman walks out of the dark blue uniform group.

Shiing

Sasuke activates his Sharingan and places a hand on his katana.

"Are you trying to exploit the current situation and rob the treasures of this village?"

"WAIT!" Kakashi waves his hand to stop his group.

"We got to loosen up a little with those shinobis from Konoha. They were a bunch of pathetic weaklings!"

Gitai has a wide smile on his face.

"For now! Let's follow these people. Once we get our hands on the keys, we will lay waste to this Hachou village. It will serve as an offering for our Lord." Kusuna lips part in a wide smile.

Hmm

Kakashi raises his head and stares at the sky.

He shakes his head and continues to move forwards.

"Kakashi! Do you also feel like we are being monitored?"

Guy whispers to Kakashi in a feeble voice.

"I do! It must be the enemy who attacked the Tonika village." Kakashi gestures to him.

Kakashi turns towards the rest of the group, who are following the village chief without much of an expression.

'It's better we don't alert the enemy yet. I want to lure them away from the Hachou village.'

Shiing

Kakashi's left eyes changes into Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan"

He sneakily casts a genjutsu on the village chief and the security unit of the Hachou village.

Whoosh whoosh

The group continues to flicker through the desert. Soon, a forest appears in front of them.

"It's about time."

Swish

Kakashi takes out a kunai from his holster.

Chirp chii

He infuses lightning chakra in the kunai and throws it at the sky.

Fwoosh

The group comes to a halt and stares at Kakashi with confusion.

"Get ready for a fight! They are enemies on our trail."

Kakashi warns them and dispels his Genjutsu.

Scree

A shrill cry echoes in their ears.

A gigantic dark black bird with two faces and six eyes appears in the air. The bird has white vertical curse marks spread across its body.

A kunai infused with lightning chakra is stabbed in one of its eyes.

"I have been waiting for this!"

Naruto pumps his fist.

"Yeah! These guys had been patiently following us for a while now." Sasuke nods his head.

"Wait! So, you knew about them?" Sakura questions them.

"Yes, these guys were hiding in plain sight. They didn't even bother to hide their sinister chakra signature." Naruto nods his head.

Tch

"Brother! We should have finished them earlier. Later, we could just torture one of these villagers and get the direction from him." Shizuku scoffs at the group.

"Brother, hurry up!" Gitai cracks his knuckles.

"Haha what's the rush? We can take our time with them." Setsuna cracks his neck.

The group stares at the Gang of Four riding on top of the bird.

"Are they the so-called demons who attacked the Tonika village? They don't look that demonic!" Sakura and Ino speak in unison.

Fwish

Kusuna releases three dark purple snakes from his body.

Slither

The snake slithers over to the rest of the group and enters their body.

Aah Argh

Curse marks appear on the three people and they transform.

"You both have to jinx it. Don't you?" Shikamaru wryly raises his head and stares at the transformation.

"And here I thought it was a normal investigation mission. What a drag?!"

"Everyone! Get ready for the battle." Kakashi instructs them.

BANG BANG BANG

The three people jump down from the top of the bird. They smash into the ground and raise a cloud of dust.

Swish swish swish

The three of them make some hand signs and slam their palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu"

A giant summoning seal appears in the air behind the group.
