Chapter 132 Rescue (1)

Lurking was tedious, especially for the hyperactive Naruto. But under Sakura's pressure, Naruto was forced to hold back. He tried to lighten the tense atmosphere, but Sakura seemed uninterested in engaging him, leaving him feeling frustrated. "Naruto, can't you just be quiet? We're on a mission right now. This concerns the fate of so many children, the hopes of countless families." Sakura couldn't help but scold him. "Alright, just be quiet for a moment. I beg you." Sakura held her forehead and sighed. Naruto nodded with a look of grievance. Seeing Sakura so angry, Naruto didn't dare to act rashly. Just then, a slight noise echoed nearby. Naruto and Sakura instantly became alert, their bodies tense, their eyes sharp. Naruto gave Sakura a subtle wink, indicating that he would go check on the situation first.

He carefully crept towards the source of the sound, each step as light as a feather. Through the gaps in the grass, Naruto saw several mysterious masked men talking in low voices, with some tied up and unconscious children nearby.

Rage welled up in Naruto, but he knew better than to act rashly. He retreated quietly and informed Sakura of the situation. Sakura gritted her teeth, and the two decided to launch a simultaneous attack.

Naruto rushed out first, shouting, "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Instantly, dozens of clones surrounded the mysterious figure. Sakura quickly followed, swinging her fists at the enemy. Though startled, the mysterious figures immediately fought back. During the battle, Naruto skillfully untied the children's restraints, while Sakura successfully defeated most of the enemies. Finally, the remaining mysterious figures, seeing the situation was dire, dropped smoke bombs and fled. Naruto watched the retreating figures, clenching his fists. "I must find all of you!" Sakura walked over to Naruto and patted his shoulder. "Don't blame yourself too much. At least we saved these children." Naruto took a deep breath and nodded. Then, they woke the kidnapped children. When the children woke up and saw Naruto and Sakura, their eyes were filled with fear. Naruto smiled brightly and reassured them, "Don't be afraid, children. We are here to save you." After some comforting, the children gradually calmed down.

Sakura contacted the ninjas who came to pick them up in the village and prepared to take the children back to Konoha Village. However, while waiting, Naruto noticed that one of the little girls kept her head down and said nothing. Naruto walked up to the little girl and squatted down, and asked softly: "Little sister, are you worried about something?" The little girl hesitated for a moment, raised her head and whispered: "Big brother, I know where the bad guys are. They have more partners and a bigger conspiracy." Naruto widened his eyes and looked at Sakura. They realized that things were far from over. Sakura squatted down and said to the little girl gently: "Little sister, can you tell us? We will definitely protect everyone." The little girl nodded slowly.

The little girl said in a trembling voice, "They're in an abandoned cave outside the village. There's a powerful illusion trap set there." Naruto stood up, his eyes determined, "Then we'll set off now." Sakura was a little worried, "But our support team will be here soon. What will happen to the children if we leave?" Naruto scratched his head. At this time, several older boys among the rescued children stood up and said, "Big sister, we will take care of each other. Don't worry."

"How are things, Naruto and Sakura? Are you all okay?" Sasuke and Uchiha Sasuke, who had already dealt with the other side, rushed over.

"I got the news. This little sister said they are in that cave, but they have a powerful illusion trap. I'm not very good at illusion. As a Jinchūriki, I won't be affected by illusions. I just don't know what's so powerful about their illusions?" Naruto analyzed clearly for the first time. Sakura looked at Naruto in shock. "I, I was just talking casually. Am I wrong?" Naruto noticed the shock in Sakura's eyes and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Finally you said something that was thought-provoking. You have made progress over the years, you last-place guy." Well, I really underestimated the lethality of Uchiha Sasuke's words.

"Hey, Sasuke, it's better if you don't say anything." Naruto glared at Uchiha Sasuke fiercely.

"Okay, stop arguing. Later you and Sasuke will team up with Sakura. Even illusions cannot escape the Sharingan." Sasuke hurried out to stop them, and the blood-red Sharingan was spinning rapidly in the eye sockets of the two Sasukes.

When the four of them arrived near the cave, a thick fog shrouded the outside. "Wind Style: Vacuum Ball." Sasuke used Wind Style to blow away the thick fog, and the cave was right in front of them. "Everyone be careful, there are illusions set up around us, Naruto, don't run around." Sasuke reminded Naruto beside him, "Kuroma, please don't let this guy fall into the illusion." The sealed Kurama sneered, and in Sasuke's interpretation, he agreed.

"Why are you telling this to Kurama?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with a puzzled look.

"Because someone has a long criminal record." Sasuke glanced at Naruto, who looked away with a guilty look. "Sasuke, protect Sakura. Although she is good at illusions, this one seems very powerful."

"Got it, Sakura, remember to follow me closely." Uchiha Sasuke looked at Sakura arrogantly, and Sakura nodded shyly.

When Sasuke lifted the illusion, they saw Uchiha Sasuke hugging Sakura tightly. Sakura was sobbing slightly in his arms, as if she hadn't noticed the looks on Sasuke and the others' faces. Naruto couldn't hold back, "Sasuke, what are you doing?" Uchiha Sasuke reacted this time and pulled Sakura out of his arms. Sakura looked at Uchiha Sasuke in front of her with a confused look on her face, then looked at the others, her fair face flushed red.

"Ahem, Sakura, are you okay?" Uchiha Sasuke coughed awkwardly.

"I, I'm fine, Sasuke-kun." Sakura lowered her head shyly, not noticing that Uchiha Sasuke also turned his head away shyly.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Naruto always managed to break the awkward atmosphere accurately.

"I'm fine." Sakura said.

Naruto wanted to continue saying something, but when he saw Sakura's scary look, he finally gave up, "I'm glad you're okay. I almost fell into the illusion at the beginning, and it was Kurama who reminded me." Naruto was now a typical person who was just making small talk.

"I'm glad you're okay. Last time you were caught in an illusion and almost hit me." I'm still scared by that incident. I know that the Rasengan is powerful, but it's still quite terrifying to be hit directly in the face by one.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I won't do it again." It would never happen to Naruto to hurt his companions.
