Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

Konoha

Top of Hokage Building

It seems that God has also felt the sadness. The sky that was clear yesterday is now like dark clouds pressing over the city...

The densely packed Konoha ninjas dressed in black were divided into two square formations and bowed their heads in silence, solemnly...

With the Hokage Building as the center, almost all Konoha civilians looked here with sad faces.

"Today's condolences are to pay homage to the Third Hokage who sacrificed his life for the village, as well as other victims..."

In front of the mourning hall, Hokage advisor Mito Kadoen recited a eulogy in a heavy tone.

Next to him is Koharu Koharu, a high-ranking Konoha consultant who is also the Hokage's advisor.

"Sasuke, why do you think Grandpa Hokage died..."

In the crowd, Naruto stood next to Sasuke with a look of deep sadness on his face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Grandpa..." Konohamaru in front of him was even more sobbing...

“This is what a ninja is, risking your life for a mission or to protect something.

For the third generation, sacrificing for the village is the greatest affirmation of his being Hokage!

And we were the same way back then, weren't we?

It's just that we didn't die, this is survivor bias..."

Sasuke looked at the portrait of the third generation absently, and glanced calmly at the Hokage advisor on the stage.

For these two old guys who lived from the first generation to Boruto, Sasuke couldn't help but admire their longevity...

But this time it might be different!

"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, it's our turn to present flowers..."

Suddenly, Kakashi interrupted the three people's thoughts.

As the three of them lined up to lay flowers, drizzle began to fall in the sky...

Soon, the memorial ceremony came to an end after laying flowers.

Sasuke and the three of them also followed Kakashi down to the top of the Hokage Tower, and at this moment, bright sunlight shone brightly on the sky...

The heavy mood of everyone was blown away in an instant...

"Okay, that's it for today.

You all performed very well this time! !

Naruto and Sakura are free to move around, Sasuke, come with me..."

Kakashi nodded with satisfaction to the three of them, his eyes finally fell on Sasuke and greeted him.

"Ah? Why is it Sasuke, Sasuke's...

Kakashi-sensei, you are too partial.

Could it be that he wants to teach Sasuke some powerful ninjutsu again? ! "

Naruto stopped immediately when he saw this, and stared at Kakashi with his fiery eyes to see how much he wanted to feel wronged.

Sasuke has surpassed him so much, why is he still Sasuke, Sasuke...

"Idiot, this time it's not a ninjutsu...

They were some routine questions about being promoted to chunin. "

Kakashi held his forehead and said helplessly, causing Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke to change their expressions at the same time.

"Teacher, what do you mean..."

It was about upgrading system permissions. Sasuke couldn't hold back his excitement and asked.

He originally thought he would have to wait until the fifth generation came to power to start, but he didn't expect it to come so soon...

Most importantly, it looks like his efforts were in vain!

There is no such part in the plot...

"Yeah, but there's still a question I need you to answer."

Kakashi's eyes flashed with color, he gave a meaningful answer and took the lead to leave.

When Sasuke's heart moved, he naturally followed him immediately...

"Sakura, what Kakashi-sensei just said was chunin~~

Sasuke is going to be promoted to chunin! ! "

Watching the two people leaving, Naruto asked with a trembling voice, dumbfounded.

This, how is this possible? ?

"Naruto, it seems we have to go back and prepare gifts..."

Sakura nodded fiercely, her eyes curved into crescent moon shapes and she felt proud for a moment...

Naruto……

A corner of Konoha

Kakashi and Sasuke stood opposite each other.

"Sasuke, although unexpected circumstances occurred, this Chunin exam was interrupted.

new

However, your performance has been recognized by many chunin and jounin!

And in this invasion battle, he and Naruto captured the Sunagakure Jinchuuriki, which can be said to be an outstanding achievement.

According to the normal process, there will definitely be no problem for you to be promoted to Chunin this time...

However, now I have a question for you. "

When Kakashi said this, he deliberately stopped and looked at Sasuke. When he saw that Sasuke only frowned slightly, he continued.

"Sasuke, why do you know Orochimaru's psychic skills..."

With this last sentence, Sasuke clearly heard the worry and solemnity in Kakashi's tone.

However, Sasuke was secretly relieved...

I thought it was a problem, that's it? ?

"Orochimaru's psychic technique? Of course it was given by Orochimaru..."

Under Kakashi's stunned look, Sasuke gave him a look of contempt.

Suddenly, this answer made Kakashi a little confused...

That was Orochimaru who launched the invasion of Konoha and killed the Third Hokage!

With that said, how can he explain to his superiors? ?

"Don't look at me like that, it's not my initiative.

If you come here and ask me, you will know that the big snake wanted to eat me at first, but later I instigated it...

If I'm not promoted to Chunin because of this, then it's Konoha's problem and not my problem.

Orochimaru, his purpose is to let me enjoy his power and defect to him.

But I will use actual actions to prove that he is stealing the chicken but losing the rice...

My goal is to become Hokage, how could I defect to Konoha! ! "

When Kakashi questioned Sasuke, he straightened his chest and raised his head, showing off his cards right away with an attitude of being honest and not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door.

This issue had already been considered when he used the psychic technique...

Instead of beating around the bush, it would be better to pass the blame to Orochimaru in an open and honest manner.

No matter how he explains this situation now, he is already inextricably linked to Orochimaru!

So, why bother to quibble and cover up...

"Ahem...

Okay, I understand this!

Then let the new Hokage make the decision..."

Kakashi's scalp went numb after being stared at by Sasuke's idiotic eyes. He smiled and turned around to run away...

Sasuke was right, this wasn't his problem!

If he really had any idea, would he have been so desperate in this invasion? ?

It's good not to take advantage of the situation...

"Hey... I didn't expect that we would have to wait until the fifth generation came to power..."

Sasuke was speechless as he watched Kakashi leave. Fortunately, he thought he was going to unlock new permissions in advance.

But then I thought about it, only he knew who Godai was now!

Kakashi and the others can understand this...

Maybe, they thought the fifth generation would be selected in these few days!

at the same time

"Jiraiya, you also know the situation in the village now...

Although Konoha sacrificed a lot, we also captured Sunagakure's first jinchūriki.

The biggest headache now is actually Sunagakure's side..."

"However, we must also confirm the fifth generation candidate as soon as possible. Whether it is negotiating with Sunagakure, stabilizing people's hearts, or shocking other ninja villages, we need a new Hokage.

A leader with powerful and intimidating power, known as one of the Sannin of Konoha, you are the best choice!

So, you can’t escape anymore…”

Mito Kaden and Koharu, who had moved to another dormitory, came to Jiraiya and started lobbying, with the clear purpose of letting him succeed as Hokage.

"I don't want that kind of trouble...

Sannin, isn't there another person? ? "

Jiraiya still had the same bohemian expression and refused directly, with a trace of expectation and reminiscence in his eyes.

Tsunade, long time no see...
