Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 620 Uchiha "Shisui"

At the edge of Konoha, a figure was sprinting at a frenzied speed toward the ruins that were still emitting black smoke.

With just a light touch of his toes on the rooftop, he darted more than ten meters away, his clothes billowing in the wind, and the tiles beneath his feet only made a crisp sound after he had left.

Sasuke Uchiha looked worried and serious, and his breathing was much more rapid than usual, but for him, this kind of running was not even a warm-up.

The reason for his rapid breathing was that his heart was pounding against his ribs with a force he could not control.

He had just returned home when the explosion rang out. The sound was so loud that he could hear it clearly even from the deepest part of the Uchiha clan's territory, as if someone had torn a hole in the entire sky.

He rushed to the roof and saw a scene he never wanted to see again in his life.

Half of Konoha has been reduced to ruins. From the center outwards, large swathes of buildings have been razed to the ground, and burning beams lie scattered among the rubble. Black smoke rises from every burning corner, twisting into gnarled gray pillars that pierce straight into the clouds.

But Sasuke wasn't thinking about the village's reconstruction plan at that moment. What kept flashing through his mind was a blonde, blue-eyed girl. She had grown up with him since childhood, always speaking softly, and when she smiled, the corners of her mouth only turned up slightly, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely. She always stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, never actively pushing her way to the center, but every time he turned around to look at her, she was there.

Sasuke jumped off the roof and ran towards the battlefield; he had to make sure she was safe.

Just as he was about to rush into the area within two hundred meters of the center of Konoha.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three shuriken came hurtling in from the side, one blocking his path and two blocking his space to dodge left and right. For Uchiha Sasuke, this level of attack wasn't exactly a sneak attack; it was more like a warning before the attack began.

Sasuke suddenly stopped, his right hand simultaneously pressing on the hilt of his sword at his waist. The movement of drawing the Kusanagi sword was clean and swift, a cold light flashing in mid-air, and the three shuriken were simultaneously knocked away, bouncing into the pile of rubble by the roadside.

"Who?!" Sasuke gripped the Kusanagi sword in one hand, his Sharingan automatically activated, the crimson three-tomoe jade spinning rapidly in his pupils.

The next moment, all the fallen leaves around them rose from the ground, swirling and gathering at the same point.

The withered yellow leaves rustled in the wind, and in the very center of the fallen leaves, a figure slowly emerged.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke."

A calm female voice rang out, her tone gentle, without hostility or murderous intent, even carrying a hint of apology. "But I can't let you pass."

Sasuke recognized the person who had come.

Her short hair looked like it hadn't been styled much, with some stray hairs casually sticking up beside her ears, yet it looked very natural.

The crimson Sharingan eyes opposite him were slowly rotating in their sockets, but the person's face was very gentle, with soft and relaxed lines between his eyebrows and eyes, and no aggressiveness at the corners of his mouth, completely different from the coldness or warlike nature that emanated from the bones of the Uchiha clan.

If you're not in a fighting stance, the first reaction anyone would have upon seeing this face wouldn't be wariness, but rather an instinctive feeling that the other person is a very gentle person.

Uchiha Sasuke knew this person.

"You are... Uchiha Shisui?"

As a child, Sasuke only saw her as a kind of older sister next door. Shisui would often come to Itachi's house, and each time she would squat down, pat his head, and ask him if he had been training hard and eating well. However, she was very close to her brother, and the two of them often discussed things that he couldn't understand at the time.

So Sasuke's impression of this person was just "his brother's friend" and "the older sister next door," nothing more. He never imagined that things would develop like this one day.

That older brother's friend, now dressed in an opposing stance, is blocking his path to Mai.

"Get out of my way!" Sasuke's Sharingan's three tomoe spun so fast they became a continuous afterimage, killing intent, anxiety, and anger all intertwined, burning his cold eyes into a scorching red.

"I don't have time to argue with you! What do you want? The Uchiha clan is practically extinct now, and you still want to work for that kind of organization? If you want to hurt Ma... or take the Nine-Tails, I absolutely won't allow it! Get out of my way!"

Shisui looked at the exploded boy in front of her and sighed softly. She really didn't want to fight Sasuke.

She was relieved that her mission was only to "stop Uchiha Sasuke" and not to "defeat" or "kill" him. So Shisui silently breathed a sigh of relief; at least she didn't have to fight him to the death.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The two formed hand seals at the same instant, and at the same instant, they spat out a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters!

Two enormous fireballs collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. Flames flew everywhere, and the intense heat distorted and warped the surrounding air. The wooden buildings on both sides of the street, which had not yet completely collapsed, were instantly carbonized under the scorching heat, crackling and popping.

The orange-red flames reflected on Shisui's still gentle face, and also on Sasuke's face, which was twisted with anger and anxiety.
