Naruto: I exposed famous scenes!-Chapter 72: Sai: "She Can Be Saved, But It’s Not Necessary."
Chapter 72 - 72: Sai: "She Can Be Saved, But It's Not Necessary."
On the screen, Naruto's palm strike sent Orochimaru hurtling nearly a kilometer away. This terrifying display of power instantly silenced the murmurs of the Konoha villagers.
Yet, the fear lurking in their eyes only intensified.
Imagine if any of us angered Naruto, they thought grimly. That same slap would surely obliterate them; after all, they lacked the resilience of a Sannin!
In their eyes, Naruto had become an even greater threat.
This fear wasn't limited to the civilian villagers. Even seasoned advisors like Koharu and Homura couldn't help but frown deeply.
The raw strength Naruto unleashed on the screen had clearly surpassed the limits of what they could control.
This realization bred a profound unease. If Naruto's rampages couldn't be contained in the future, then the question of his place in Konoha – whether he should stay or be banished – would become a critical issue.

[Orochimaru emerged from the ravaged woods once more, his clothing unchanged, but his face now belonged to an entirely different individual.]
[Meanwhile, the violent chakra surrounding Three Tails Naruto gradually stabilized as he glared intently at Orochimaru.]
[Suddenly, Kabuto, Orochimaru's ever-scheming right-hand man, made a swift move to attack Naruto from behind. But before he could reach him, Naruto's sharp senses detected the threat. He opened his maw and spat out a concentrated ball of chakra, blasting Kabuto hundreds of meters away, sending him crashing to the ground.]
[The force of Kabuto's impact sent him hurtling into Sakura, knocking her unconscious.]
[Due to the sheer destructive force of Three Tails Naruto's outburst, the bridge had been completely obliterated. Sakura's unconscious body slid precariously towards the edge of the cliff.]
["Sai! Go and save Sakura!" Yamato's voice was sharp with urgency.
Sai, ever the pragmatist, swiftly complied. Utilizing his Super Beast Imitating Drawing technique, he conjured a large bird.
In moments, Sai leaped onto the ink bird's back and soared towards the falling Sakura.]
[Sakura's descent became a rapid, vertical drop. Just as Yamato breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Sai positioned directly beneath her to catch her, a shocking turn occurred.]
[Sai's ink bird brushed past Sakura, missing her entirely. Without a hint of concern, Sai continued his flight path directly towards Naruto and Orochimaru.]
[And then, a few chilling words drifted back, barely audible:
"She can be saved... but it is not necessary."]
The screen went black, leaving an intensely awkward silence hanging over the Konoha Village square.
And Sakura, one of the team's supposed heroines, was practically fuming with rage.
Though she didn't know this Sai, she had already made up her mind: the moment she laid eyes on him, he would be on the receiving end of a very painful punch.
Ino couldn't contain her laughter. "Hahaha! Sakura! Your popularity just took a nosedive!"
Rock Lee, ever the chivalrous one, declared with fiery passion, "Sakura-chan! Allow me to protect you!!!"
Kakashi mused, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I didn't expect Yamato to become the captain of Team Seven. It seems a lot of... unexpected things happened back then."
Yamato (Anbu Tenzo) stammered, a bead of sweat trickling down his temple. "I... I took over from Kakashi-senpai? He... he's not going to hold that against me, right?"

[Massive explosions continued to rock the forest, clouds of dust and smoke billowing through the trees. In the heart of the ravaged landscape, Orochimaru resembled a disheveled "Leaf Village Tarzan," covered in dirt and debris.]
[However, in the next instant, Orochimaru performed a grotesque transformation, shedding his damaged body like a snake's skin to reveal a completely regenerated form.]
"You are still far inferior to Sasuke, Naruto!" Orochimaru sneered, his voice dripping with malice.]
[This taunt struck a raw nerve. Another tail of chakra erupted from Naruto's form, the Four Tails now fully manifested.]
[But what followed was horrifying. The corrosive power of the Nine-Tails chakra began to eat away at Naruto's very being. His skin cracked and tore, revealing the raw flesh and blood beneath.]
[His consciousness, too, was being invaded by the Kyuubi's malevolent influence, his thoughts becoming chaotic and fragmented.]
[In that agonizing moment, a memory flickered in Naruto's mind: the first time he had almost managed to bring Sasuke back, the fragile bonds they had forged. He refused to succumb to the Nine-Tails' rage, unwilling to let that connection be lost.]
[Gritting his teeth, a low, guttural roar tearing from his throat, Naruto desperately fought against the searing pain that threatened to shatter his will.]
[Finally, Naruto stood as the Four Tails Jinchuriki, his body a mass of raw, red muscle, radiating an aura of terrifying chakra.]

Within the Land of Rice Fields,
Kushina watched in anguish as her son unleashed the Four Tails, enduring unimaginable torment. Distress and fury welled up within her.
In that instant, she couldn't help but wish she could lash out at Orochimaru, to beat him senseless!
If not for his deliberate provocation, Naruto would never have lost control and manifested the Fourth Tail.
"Orochimaru! You bastard! How dare you torment my son!"
______________________________________
And back in Konoha,
Sakura and Shikamaru watched, their faces etched with concern, as Naruto fought so desperately to reclaim Sasuke, even allowing himself to be consumed by the Nine-Tails' fury.
Naruto's unwavering bond with Sasuke deeply moved many among the assembled villagers.
Sakura whispered, her voice filled with a desperate plea. "Sasuke... I wonder if you can see Naruto's feelings for you right now? If you can... please, come back soon... please?"
Kakashi's gaze was somber. "Naruto... I am truly ashamed. Recovering Sasuke... that should have been my responsibility."
Among the Konoha villagers, a hushed fear rippled through the crowd.
"Naruto... he unleashed another tail. He's completely consumed by rage."
"So... terrifying!"

[On the ravaged bridge, Yamato used his Wood Style to safely retrieve Sakura, just as he was about to aid Naruto.]
[Suddenly, from the depths of the forest, a violent wave of chakra erupted, its terrifying power instantly flattening all the large trees within a radius of several miles, forcing Yamato to barely withstand the shockwave with a wooden shield technique.]
["Was... was that caused by Naruto?" Yamato asked incredulously, his eyes wide with shock.
"Naruto..." Sakura whispered, her voice trembling with worry as she stared towards the epicenter of the explosion.]
[In the forest, a massive crater, several miles in diameter, now marked the center of Naruto's power. Orochimaru lay sprawled on the ground nearby, a bizarre, almost comical grin stretched across his face.]
["The Array of Ten Thousand Snakes!" Orochimaru hissed.
Instantly, countless black snakes surged towards Naruto like a colossal, writhing wave, engulfing the Four Tails Jinchuriki.]
[But Naruto merely swung his massive arms. A cataclysmic explosion erupted, obliterating the swarm of snakes into nothingness. Even Deidara, the master of explosive art, would have had to clap his hands in grudging admiration!]
[Faced with the raw power of Four Tails Naruto, Orochimaru deployed every jutsu in his arsenal, yet none managed to inflict any significant damage.]
[Then, Naruto's red and blue chakra within his body began to churn and condense, forming a distinct, swirling black orb with a 2:8 Yin-Yang ratio.]
[He then swallowed the ominous black sphere in a single gulp.]
[The heavy black ball caused Naruto's massive form to collapse onto the ground, sinking a full two meters deep. His body then began to swell like a balloon, an immense chakra energy building within.]
[Panic flashed across Orochimaru's face. "This is bad! If that hits me, I'm finished!" he exclaimed.]
[He frantically leaped backward several times, then slammed his hands onto the ground.]
"Summoning Technique – Triple Rashomon!"]
