41 Chapter 41 Crying Sakura

Konoha.

Death Forest.

*BOOM!!!*

With Gojo being the focal point, a huge shock wave was set off towards the massive amount of white snakes running away.

Everyone in the way of the shockwave disintegrated immediately like it never existed and the white snakes didn't get a chance to struggle disappearing completely.

Finally, Gojo stopped the input of the positive energy as the shockwave stopped suddenly as a huge crater about 100 meters long appeared and any rock or tree from before was nowhere to be seen.

The 100-meter area before Gojo has been completely razed to nothing devoid of any vitality.

"Hmm~ it seems I overdid a little, they won't ask for property compensation right?"

Seeing the devastation he caused, Gojo floating in the air rubbed his chin and was wondering whether he should sneak away quietly.

Aghh…

"Sasuke Kun, what's happening to you?"

But another painful scream of Sakura caused Gojo to snap out of his thoughts, as he looked towards him.

Black markings had covered the whole right side of the as he seemed to be in a huge pain.

"Those black marks…"

Seeing those familiar marks, Gojo remembered those two sisters he had fought a year ago.

*Swoosh!!*

"Tell me clearly, everything that happened here?"

Gojo immediately appeared beside Sasuke who had passed out by the pain and asked the worried Sakura.

"Satoru…kun…what about the enemy…this…"

Hearing his voice, Sakura finally came back to her senses as she wanted to ask him about the enemy but seeing the huge crater before him left her speechless.

"Worry not, that woman is dead..."

"You really did that…"

Sakura looked at the wide crater before her with shocked eyes as she had never expected this guy to strong.

"No wonder he was acting all arrogant out there" Thought Sakura

He had the strength to back his arrogant claims, the woman they couldn't even get close to was defeated so easily by him.

"Satoru Kun, we were looking for Naruto and suddenly that women…"

"Sasuke and Naruto… they both protected me… I couldn't do a thing…I'm so useless… Sob..."

Sakura immediately began to tell everything that happened and at the end she began to cry cursing her weakness.

"..."

"Sigh... I hate such girls the most"

Gojo was left speechless as he really hated such girls, rather than crying why not get stronger.

"Would crying change anything… they can protect you once, twice... but not always"

"Turn those tears into strength, you are not even able to protect yourself how will you protect others"

"And remember this "no matter how many allies you have beside you, when you die, you die alone"

"Show your resolve, It's up to you to look after them"

Gojo stood up ready to leave, as he had seen Sasuke was fine only exhausted, though he didn't care much about the stunned Sakura behind as his words really affected her.

Sasuke whom she loves and Naruto who she always thought as a nuisance, both of them always protected her and she did nothing but crying or being a burden.

If she can't even protect herself, how can she protect her loved ones, the words of Gojo made Sakura realize this.

"I will become strong"(hahaha)

Said Sakura with determination in her eyes as she stood and after wiping her tears, she left holding the fainted Sasuke and Naruto.

Gojo didn't know about the determination of Sakura as flying above the forest, he was in deep thought.

"It seems that woman was also the subordinate of that Orochimaru guy"

Sakura had told him that because of the bite of that woman, Sasuke had those black marks around his body.

No way, even Gojo couldn't think right, that the legendary Orochimaru was no longer "He" but "She".

So, he concluded that woman to be a subordinate of Orochimaru

"But that woman was somewhat strong, it seems this Orochimaru might really be able to entertain me"

Thought Gojo as an excited expression appeared on his face.

That woman who he just abused had strength equal to the other two Sannin, if only a subordinate has such strength, then how strong the boss would be.

So just imagining the strength of Orochimaru filled the heart of Gojo with anticipation as he couldn't wait to meet him.

"Huh~ another one?"

Gojo who was flying above the forest sensed another powerful aura below as smirking he descended, ready to cause even more chaos.

------------------------

"Hiss~"

Near the edge of the death forest, numerous white snakes suddenly drilled out from the ground and they began to merge and a big white snake was formed.

The snake opened its mouth and a hand stretched out and it was followed by a head and soon a whole person covered with mucous fell on the ground from the mouth of snake.

"Ha…Ha…"

"Haha!!~, Gojo Satoru… just who are you…"

Orochimaru lying on the ground took deep breaths as his face looked even more paler.

But even in this terrifying condition, he laughed loudly his shoulders trembling form the pain that seemed to have even affected his soul.

(Even at it's peak, Hanabi the cursed spirit was able to save Jogo from Gojo's hand and escape safely, Orochimaru in anime world is one of the toughest to kill, even Domain Expansion would only kill a part of his soul at most)
