Chapter 285 The Parachuted Captain of Team 7, Uchiha Junto
"My foolish little brother! Why, why are you still so weak..."
"Someone as ugly as you isn't even worth killing!"
"Then why are you so weak? Is it because your hatred for me isn't enough? Or is it that you simply lack the capacity to kill me?"
"No, I didn't. I will definitely kill you, I definitely will!!"
In Konoha Hospital, Sasuke lay pale on his hospital bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat. The cold indifference of Itachi and the blood-soaked memories of the night of the massacre of his clan kept flashing through his mind!
Beside his hospital bed was Sakura, a devoted but helpless admirer.
"Sakura, Sakura, look who I brought! Sasuke is saved..." Just as Sakura was comforting her idol by grabbing Sasuke's hand, Naruto's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Before Sakura could react, the door was slammed open with a bang, and Naruto dragged in a stunningly beautiful woman with captivating charm and imposing presence.
"This is Granny Tsunade... uh..."
Instantly, Naruto's face turned pale from joy, and he stood there stunned by what he saw.
Just as Tsunade was about to lose her temper and correct the way she was addressed, she saw Naruto's reaction and then looked at Sakura and Sasuke. She instantly understood and gave Naruto a comforting look before smiling and stepping forward.
"I am Tsunade, the head of the Konoha Medical Department. This guy sent me to check on that Uchiha brat."
"Ah? Lady Tsunade, then I'll leave Sasuke in your care..." Sakura quickly stepped aside respectfully upon hearing this, as she now knew the name of this legendary Sannin very well.
Although she had been at Konoha Hospital for the past few days, she had heard a lot about Tsunade and Jiraiya, who were the legendary Sannin of Konoha and the current advisors to the Hokage.
Tsunade simply nodded slightly, then went to the bedside, ignited her palm technique, and pressed it against Sasuke's head to begin treatment.
"Naruto, thank you so much!" Upon seeing this, Sakura remembered something and turned around to express her gratitude.
This time, Naruto just gave a forced smile that looked more like a grimace, "Um, I suddenly remembered I have an appointment with Konohamaru, so I'll be going now..."
Forced a smile and making up an excuse, Naruto turned and left, his mind heavy with worry. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control of his jealousy and lose his composure.
"boom!!"
No sooner said than done, just as Naruto reached the door to open it, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Immediately afterward, Naruto saw a familiar ANBU member, a Konoha Jonin wearing a mask covering his face, walk in.
Huh? This mask looks so familiar...?
"Senior brother?"
Upon seeing the familiar tanuki mask and the long sword behind the ANBU member, Naruto instinctively thought...
"Naruto, are you going out? Wait a minute, I have something to say to Sasuke when he wakes up." Ishikawa reached out to stop him, then nodded to Tsunade as a greeting.
Behind him, Obito, whose face was hidden by a mask, looked at Tsunade with surprise, "Lady Tsunade? I didn't expect that after all these years you would still be so young and beautiful!"
"Hehe, kid, you have good taste..." Tsunade smiled broadly upon hearing this; this boy was clearly much more pleasant to talk to than Naruto. "However, at your age, you shouldn't recognize me. Kid, who are you?"
Instantly, Obito's face froze and he was sweating profusely at Tsunade's question! That's right, this Tsunade is not the Tsunade-sama he met once in that world.
“Ahem, this is an elite Jonin who just retired from the Anbu with special approval from Kakashi-sensei. His name is…” Ishikawa hurriedly interjected, but then swallowed the words back.
The name Obito definitely can't be used anymore, otherwise what's the point of covering his face and disguising himself? Is this just a case of protesting too much?
So, should we call him Uchiha Kenji or Tu Zi Ge?
"Yes, his current name is Junto, Uchiha Junto."
"Runtu??"
Instantly, Tsunade, Naruto, Sakura, and even Obito himself all exclaimed in confusion.
Lord Obito, his name was just changed like that?!
"You are? Uchiha??" Just as everyone was looking at each other in confusion, Sasuke, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head with a bright, blood-red gaze.
"Three-tomoe Sharingan..." Obito looked at the other party with surprise, not expecting that this last Uchiha brat would also awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age.
In the past, he might not have been able to suppress the opponent's Sharingan talent. But now...
With each breath, Obito's eyes flashed with a scarlet, eerie three-tomoe Sharingan, which then rapidly intertwined and extended in the blink of an eye, only to transform back into ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan in the instant he completed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Only Sasuke, who had activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, clearly saw the ghostly speed at which the pupils changed; no one else, including Tsunade, could see the fleeting change.
"You, you could be..." Sasuke, who had just woken up, was immediately excited, and Itachi Uchiha's words once again appeared in his mind.
He previously thought the third person with the kaleidoscope was Kakashi-sensei, but now how come there's another person?
No, this guy is about the same age as him. According to Itachi, that person awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan back then. Could he be a super genius who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a very young age?
No, that's impossible!
Therefore, there is only one truth: he was an even more talented Uchiha survivor!
Uchiha Junto? He'd never even heard of that name.
"The Uchiha clan? Isn't Sasuke the only survivor of the Uchiha clan?" Just as Sasuke was scratching his head, wanting to say something but holding back, Tsunade asked him his question.
"Yes, he's an elite member of the Anbu who was secretly trained by the Third Hokage. His name wasn't this before, but now it's Uchiha Junto." Ishikawa made up a story to take advantage of the situation, making Tsunade instantly realize what he meant.
No wonder this guy seemed to be hearing his own name for the first time; now I understand.
Sasuke suddenly realized, "He changed his name? Then it's normal that he hadn't heard of the name Junto before."
"Ahem... Now that Sasuke is awake, I, on behalf of the Fifth Hokage, hereby announce..." Seeing that no one was going to pursue the matter further, Ishikawa quickly coughed and changed the subject.
"From now on, Jonin Junto will take over as captain of Team 7. Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno, the three of you will work with the new captain to complete missions!"
"(⊙o⊙) What? Kakashi-sensei doesn't want us anymore??" Almost the instant the appointment was announced, Naruto jumped up and said with a look of surprise. "Damn it, even if they're assigning a new captain, they don't have to use someone like this! Senior, can you please beg Kakashi-sensei to let you be the captain of our Team 7?"
"Damn it, are you looking down on me?" Obito, no, Captain Junto, instantly flew into a rage, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to teach this blond-haired guy a lesson.
Damn it, don't think he'll go easy on you just because you look like Minato-sensei!
I hate bratty kids the most...
"I agree." Just as the two were staring at each other, ready to fight, Sasuke suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing.
Upon seeing this, Sakura immediately nodded in agreement, much to Naruto's embarrassment as he prepared to call for backup. "Um, I was actually joking, do you believe me?"
"What do you think, Naruto Uzumaki?" Junto smiled sinisterly and dragged Naruto outside.
This guy seems to be even worse off than him. The girl he likes doesn't like him back but likes his handsome friend. The poor, arrogant brat has to endure his fierce affection...
