"From today on, I will lead everyone to continue on."

After scanning the cheeks of everyone present with his menacing Rinnegan, Uchiha Itachi said calmly.

This posture, in the eyes of others, is like a god, full of arrogance and conceit.

However, due to the powerful reincarnation eye, everyone present held back and did not have an attack.

However, Uchiha Itachi's actions were not without cost - in doing so, he made the cohesion of the already seemingly distant Akatsuki organization even looser.

However, considering what he heard from Black Zetsu about the Ten-Tails, the Six Paths Sage and the final "Eye of the Moon Project", Uchiha Itachi didn't care about their attitude.

The left and right are just a group of tool men used to collect tailed beasts. In the end, we still have to look at him.

…………

…………

The country of fields.

A base located underground.

Orochimaru looked at the sacrifice that failed to channel again, his golden vertical pupils filled with surprise.

"Strange, why can't Uchiha Jiyue and his father be resurrected by the art of reincarnation?"

He walked to the sofa next to the wall and sat down. Orochimaru, who had just completed a new reincarnation after working for a few days, rubbed his sore temples and muttered:

"Could it be that... they are all still alive?"

"But how is this possible!"

If it was Uchiha Kiyue, Orochimaru would still be willing to believe it, but as far as he knew, Uchiha Kiyue's father, Uchiha Kiyo, actually died on the night of the genocide, and there was no possibility of resurrection.

Therefore, the more Orochimaru thought about it, the more he felt that there was a big problem here.

After a long time, Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something. In order to verify some of his conjectures, he got up from the sofa and left Tian Country alone.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye.

Three years have passed.

Sasuke, who had grown up as a young man, was just about to go home after a day of training when he suddenly received a summons from Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

"What, you said, that Naruto guy is back?"

After extracting useful information from the ANBU who led the way, Sasuke's face was filled with surprise.

Three years ago, Naruto left without saying goodbye and followed Jiraiya to practice abroad.

As a result, their seventh team has not received any missions for a long time. If it weren't for Uchiha Jiyue's old subordinate, Sai petitioned to join their Kakashi team, he and Sakura would still be playing in the mud!

Sasuke felt angry when he thought of this.

However, considering that Naruto went out for special training with Jiraiya to avenge Uchiha Jiyue, Sasuke was not as angry as he showed on his face.

However, when you meet Naruto later, you still have to beat him if you need to.

After calming down, Sasuke suddenly thought of Uchiha Jiyue and how well he treated him. He felt that his eyes suddenly became very painful, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Moreover, the strange thing is that this situation has existed since hearing the news of Uchiha Jiyue's death.

Although, sometimes, he wanted to ask Tsunade-sama to take a look, but every time, either he had something to do or Tsunade had something to do. In short, it was always missed.

"How about I finish teaching Naruto a little later and ask Tsunade-sama to show me?"

Sasuke thought to himself as he walked behind Anbu.

Soon, they passed through the long streets of Konoha and arrived at the Hokage Building.

It's just that I haven't entered the Hokage's office yet.

Sasuke heard Naruto's noisy voice coming from the room:

"Ah? Mother-in-law, you said they have all become chuunin?!"

"Even those three guys, Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru, became jounin?"

"how so!"

"Now, I am the only genin!"

"Is this reasonable?"

When the room became a little quieter, Sasuke sighed helplessly with a smile on his lips:

"Naruto, why are you still the same as before!"

"Ha ha."

Anbu chuckled, took a step forward, and knocked on the door:

"Hokage-sama, Sasuke-kun is here!"

Thanks to Uchiha Jiyue's status in Konoha Village and his outstanding contributions, Sasuke is very popular with the younger generation of ninjas, although he himself does not like this feeling.

"Enter!"

Tsunade's bold voice came from the room.

Sasuke put away all his thoughts, opened the door and walked in.

But as soon as he entered the door, he was punched in the chest.

"Haha, long time no see! Sasuke!"

Naruto showed two rows of white teeth and smiled happily.

Sakura on the side saw Naruto greeting Sasuke in such a rude way, and subconsciously clenched her fists.

However, considering that this was a reunion after a long absence, she decided to write it down for Naruto first and settle the accounts later.

"They're all here!"

After the three of them became familiar with each other again, Tsunade supported her chin with the back of her hand and said seriously:

"There is a mission that requires you to run..."

"What?"

Naruto showed a curious expression.

Sasuke frowned and asked:

"Hokage-sama, where are Kakashi-sensei and Sai?"

Tsunade sighed and replied:

"They have gone ahead of time!"

"Tomorrow morning, you three should go as soon as possible!"

Sakura suddenly asked:

"Tsunade-sama, what exactly is this mission?"

Tsunade stood up, came to the window, looked at the village below with her beautiful brown eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The Fifth Kazekage and Gaara were captured by people from the Akatsuki organization. I hope you will go to Sunagakure and cooperate with Kakashi and the others to rescue Gaara!"

Since he didn't have much contact with Gaara, Naruto didn't have much reaction after hearing this.

However, Sasuke was more thoughtful than Naruto thought. He looked at Tsunade by the window, frowned and said:

"The Akatsuki organization has been silent for so long and finally made some moves!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto seemed to realize it, and his cheerful expression suddenly turned serious.

Yes!

The Akatsuki Organization appears again... Isn't this the best time for him to avenge Uchiha Jiyue?

Thinking of this, Naruto was eager to try:

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's set off now!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sakura's fist fell on his head.

"Idiot, why don't you think about why Tsunade-sama gave us one more night?"

"pain……"

Naruto held his head and looked at Sakura aggrievedly.

To be honest, even though in the past three years, he and Jiraiya often went together to "collect materials", he still couldn't understand strange creatures like women.

However, Sakura seemed to have mentioned the night just now...

According to the rhythm of the story in Jiraiya's book, night is the best time to sleep.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Sakura in surprise. He never expected that Sakura, whom he hadn't seen for three years, would be so unrestrained and dare to invite him to sleep with him in front of Tsunade-sama and Sasuke!

This is really... great!

Seeing Naruto acting like a pig, with his hands in his pockets, Sasuke didn't know what his old friend was thinking, and he reminded helplessly:

"It's a sparring session!"

"Although one night is very tight, it will more or less allow us to have a brief understanding of each other's strengths."

"So that's it..."

Naruto lowered his head slightly disappointed.

But soon, he cheered up.

Because he discovered that maybe it would be a good choice to use what he learned from Jiraiya in the past three years to fill the cup.

Thinking of this, Naruto dragged Sasuke and Sakura out of the Hokage's office without waiting for Tsunade to say anything.

"This kid... is disgusting!"

When Tsunade turned around, she found that no one was there. Her expression was very depressed. She sat in her seat and pondered for a moment. She called Shizune in and asked her to send the mission scroll to Naruto and the others. Then, she put on a coat with "Gamble" written on it.

Wearing a green windbreaker, he left the Hokage building and came to the izakaya.

When she is in a bad mood, she always likes to numb herself with alcohol.

And the other side.

After Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura left the Hokage's office, they went to Ichiraku Ramen and had a bowl of noodles here. After chatting for a while, the three of them arrived at the training ground before dark.

After a fight, Naruto, who declared that he wanted to fight "one against two", was beaten all over by Sasuke and Sakura.

"You shouldn't, why did you two suddenly become so powerful?"

"Ha ha!"

Sakura put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly:

"Jiraiya-sama is very powerful, but Tsunade-sama is also pretty good!"

Hearing this, Naruto didn't know that Sakura learned this skill from Tsunade, and his face was full of surprise.

After calming down, he looked at Sasuke beside him and said curiously:

"Sasuke, what about you?"

Sasuke looked at the moon in the sky and said with a lonely expression:

"He left me two scrolls."

"He? Is he Brother Jiyue?"

Naruto said and immediately put away the smile on his face.

Sasuke nodded and said nothing.

After a short silence, Sakura broke the silence:

"Don't be sad, Sasuke. If Brother Jiyue is alive in heaven, he definitely doesn't want to see you sad."

She walked up to Sasuke, patted him on the shoulder, and continued:

"Besides, sooner or later we will avenge him!"

"That's right!"

Although Naruto is usually careless, he is also a little angel who is good at comforting people. He walked up to Sasuke and kept looking at him with gentle eyes.

"you……"

Sasuke was very moved. After smiling at the two of them, he stood up, cast his gaze into the distance, and said in a firm tone:

"Yes, there will be a day."

After separating from Naruto and Sakura, Sasuke returned home facing the bright moonlight.

Xuedi has just graduated from the ninja school. He took a mission with his teammates a few days ago and went outside. Now he and Shuanghua are the only ones left in the house.

As for Haku, he was called out by Zabuza some time ago, and he has not come back yet, and he doesn’t know where he went.

Entering the courtyard, Sasuke looked at Shuanghua who was sitting in front of the stone table waiting for someone, with a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes:

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?"

Although he was not the one who knew about Shuangka and the others, in order not to hurt her face and not to mention Uchiha Jiyue and make her sad, Sasuke still tried his best to express his concern in a relaxed tone.

Hearing the voice, Shuanghua trembled and immediately came back to her senses. However, when she saw that the person coming was not Uchiha Jiyue, her dark eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of disappointment, but it was quickly covered up by her weak smile.

"Yeah, it's Sasuke, I know, I'm going back to the house to rest."

After saying that, he returned to the east bedroom under Sasuke's worried eyes.

"Sigh... I don't know how long she can survive such a day."

Sighing, Sasuke returned to his room.

A night of silence.

The next morning, it was still dark.

Sasuke took the packed ninja bag and walked out of the house. After meeting Naruto and Sakura at the gate of Konoha, the three of them quickly rushed towards Sunagakure Village.

On the way, Naruto suddenly said:

"It feels like without Kakashi-sensei, a little bit of the joy of life is suddenly missing?"

"How to say?"

Sakura showed a curious expression.

Although Sasuke didn't react at all, he secretly pricked up his ears.

As Naruto hurried on, he rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile:

"I'm used to Kakashi-sensei's rhythm, but it's really strange to start so early."

Sakura's mouth twitched: "Really..."

Sasuke curled his lips and decided not to pay attention to Naruto on this journey. What is this?

After this little episode, the three of them drove for two days and finally arrived at Sand Hidden Village.

However, as soon as they arrived here, they were invited to home by Temari.

Because Gaara was captured, Kankuro was poisoned and fell into a coma. This wild chrysanthemum blooming in the desert looked very haggard.

Fortunately, Sakura learned a lot of skills from Tsunade and Shizune over the years, and she quickly cured Kankuro.

Afterwards, the three of them chased towards the northeastern desert according to the information provided by Kankuro.

However, as soon as I left Sunagakure Village, I ran into Granny Chiyo who was blocking the way...

Although both Naruto and Sasuke felt that it was unreliable to bring an old lady to support Kakashi and the others, but the old man insisted on doing so, so they had no choice but to agree.

In this way, the four of them followed the route provided by Kankuro and continued to move north.

at the same time.

Deidara, who was wearing an Akatsuki robe and walking leisurely in the desert, took advantage of the two days when the Red Sand Scorpion was in a good mood after teaching his junior a lesson, and tried to get as much words out of his mouth as possible.

It's a pity that Red Sand Scorpion is very secretive about what happened that year. Every time he mentions the battle between Uchiha Jiyue and Obito, he is always vague.

However, Deidara is a smart man. He has been lurking in the Akatsuki organization for two years and also obtained some key information from other people. Combined with the information that Red Sand Scorpion occasionally mentioned, he organically combined it with other people's words.

, he vaguely felt that he might have gotten the truth he wanted

——Uchiha Jiyue and Obito died together!

But, is this possible?

Thinking of Uchiha Jiyue's power and his miraculous medical skills, Deidara really couldn't understand how his eldest brother died!

"Deidara, it seems like a mouse is chasing me. Why don't you go and deal with it?"

Just when Deidara was obsessed with his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, the deep voice of the Red Sand Scorpion suddenly sounded.

Deidara reacted quickly, shrugged and replied:

"Not interested in!"

"Oh, it seems I have to take action again."

Red Sand Scorpion sighed helplessly, but before dealing with Kakashi and others who were chasing after him, he suddenly said to Deidara:

"Be serious, otherwise the leader will punish us."

Deidara nodded impatiently:

"What a shame, I know!"
