Chapter 296 Sasuke's Ninja Way, The Shadowy Figure
"Captain Juntu, can you tell me how you opened those eyes?" On the shady dirt path, Sasuke deliberately slowed down to keep his distance from Sakura and Naruto and asked.
He's had this problem on his mind for a long time!
"Well..." Runtu's breath hitched upon hearing this, and he subconsciously recalled the scene where he almost killed Lin by mistake.
No, I can't say something so embarrassing!
"Sasuke, do you have someone you like or care about?" With her mind racing, Juntu changed the subject and asked tactfully.
"Someone you care about or like..." Sasuke subconsciously looked at Naruto and Sakura, who were playing around in front of him, and at the same time, Itachi Uchiha's words echoed in his mind.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is awakened only after killing the most important person in one's life. Could it be that Captain Jundo also...?
So, what's the difference between this kind of "opening of the eyes" and that guy's?
"Yes, the Sharingan only unleashes unimaginable power when you want to protect the most important person in your life. That is the secret to how I awakened it." Just as Sasuke was filled with doubt and almost lost his resolve, Junto's voice entered his ears again.
"If that doesn't work, it just means your bond with your comrades isn't strong enough! Your resolve to protect someone isn't complete!!"
In an instant, Sasuke stopped in his tracks as if struck by lightning, feeling the gloom in his heart vanish and his vision clear up...
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke turned to look at Runtu with a serious expression. "You really are different from that guy! I acknowledge you, Brother Runtu."
That's right, that's it!
There's no way to open those eyes without killing the most important person.
He neither agrees with nor accepts Itachi's magnanimity!
"Ah~ I'm so hungry... Captain Junto, there's a tea shop up ahead, let's go in and rest for a bit!" Just then, Naruto, who had entered the Land of Tea, turned around and groaned, rubbing his stomach.
Without waiting for Runtu's agreement, he hurriedly ran into the border tea shop.
"Naruto is such a troublesome guy!" Seeing this, Juntu seized the opportunity and immediately called for Sasuke and Sakura to hurry up and follow.
Thankfully, we've managed to get through this today...
However, this tea country truly lives up to its name, as there is a tea shop right across the border.
Watching their retreating figures, Sasuke's lips curled into a handsome smile as he followed...
Yes, that's right! This is the ninja way he wanted.
[Tch, are they ninjas from Konoha...] Just as Junto and his group entered the tea shop, a boy wearing a straw hat glanced at them from the corner and gritted his teeth.
This identity reminded him of his past self!
Damn it, although he escaped punishment last time because of that guy and my older brother's guarantee, life wandering the ninja world isn't so comfortable...
Thinking of the storms he had weathered in the past two years, the young man was about to get up and teach the three a lesson to vent his anger, but when he saw the Jonin chainmail and Chunin vest, he immediately backed down.
Damn it, two more geniuses?
They're both about the same age, but these two...
"Hahaha, are you ninjas from Konoha? I don't know, do you know a Chunin named Mitarashi Ishikawa?" With a quick glance, the boy stepped forward and greeted them in a seemingly familiar manner.
"Senior brother? You know Senior Brother Ishikawa??" Naruto was taken aback when he heard this, then turned around and looked at the person with a curious gaze.
"Yes, he saved my life two years ago!" the boy replied with a smile, subconsciously touching his chest.
That stab wound back then almost cost him his life...
“That’s an acquaintance, but your information is outdated. Ishikawa-senpai is now a Jonin of Konoha.” Naruto, oblivious to the other’s odd behavior, immediately responded with a smile, causing the boy’s expression to change again.
Mitarashi Ishikawa, that guy became a Jonin so quickly??
How could it be repaired...
Why is it that, despite graduating at the same time as him, others became genius Jonin while he was left to wander the ninja world, barely surviving...?
"Ah...hehe...is that so? That's truly admirable! The last time I saw him, he was a Chunin. I never imagined he'd become a Jonin in the blink of an eye." Forcing a smile, the boy removed his straw hat and introduced himself, "By the way, my name is Morino Idaten."
"Mori no? I feel like I've heard that surname somewhere before." Naruto scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, leaving Sasuke and Sakura speechless.
"Please, Naruto, the previous examiner for the written test, Ibiki Morino, has that surname." Sakura couldn't explain, then turned to look at something.
"Yes, that's right. I'm his younger brother, and I was a Genin in the same class as Ishikawa." Idaten patted his chest and said, trying to get closer to him, which made Sasuke and Junto turn their heads.
[Ishikawa's classmate?]
[Ibihi's younger brother? ?]
Sasuke Junto secretly thought to himself that he had begun to have some doubts about this guy.
Since they are both genin of the same class, how come the other party is not a Konoha ninja?
"Uh, I retired because of some issues, which was approved by the Third Hokage." Idaten explained again to dispel their doubts, and then used this opportunity to chat casually, acting as if we were old friends!
Ten minutes later, Ita Genius used the excuse of going to the toilet to skip out on the bill and ran away as fast as he could.
"Hmph, if I can't beat you, I can at least trick you out of a cup of tea. Since you're Ishikawa's junior brother, it's not too much to ask you to treat me to tea!" After running a kilometer at lightning speed, Idaten laughed triumphantly.
So what if they're Jonin or Chunin? They're still being played like fools by him...
"Is that so?" Just as he was laughing, Runtu's voice suddenly rang out.
He quickly stopped and looked up, only to see Jonin Junto staring at him with a mocking gaze, while Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura blocked his path from the other three directions, surrounding him.
"Damn it..." Idaten cursed, his gaze resolute and without hesitation, he knelt down on both knees, "I'm sorry! I was wrong, please forgive me for the sake of me being a former Konoha ninja..."
Runtu and his three companions?
Is this guy really that much of a coward?
While the group was locked in a stalemate, a young Jonin wearing a rain-concealed headband and carrying an umbrella not far away lowered his binoculars with a serious expression.
Unexpectedly, Konoha has dispatched Jonin and Chunin for a B-rank mission. This is going to be difficult!
Moreover, judging from the clan crests on their clothes, it seems to be...
"Teacher Amemura, is there a problem?" one of the genin subordinates asked in a low voice from behind.
"The enemy includes the Uchiha clan. This is not a mission we can accomplish. Damn it, wasn't it said that the Uchiha clan was wiped out and only a Chunin brat was left? How come another Jonin has appeared?!" Jonin Amemura frowned and cursed, having already decided to abandon the mission.
The opponent is an Uchiha clan member. How can a commoner Jonin possibly deal with him?
They must withdraw! This is simply not a task they can accomplish.
"Amegakure ninjas, how about we cooperate?"
Just as Yumen was about to give the order to retreat, a gentle and refined voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The group's expressions changed, and Amemura instinctively turned his head, his pupils shrinking. "You are... Sound Ninja..."
“That’s right, our target is the Uchiha. And you, as long as you cooperate with us, we can complete your mission!” Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses, took two steps forward, and smiled daggers.
Unexpectedly, this trip not only went smoothly but also yielded unexpected gains.
Not only did Sasuke leave the village on his own initiative, but another unknown Uchiha also appeared...
Who exactly is that masked Uchiha Jonin?
