Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden 2
When he saw Tsunade, the little brat was a bit disappointed.
The red-haired girl Karin wasn't by Tsunade's side. She was probably in the Hidden Grass Village or somewhere. He remembered it clearly… Oh well, he'd go and take care of her later.
Sasuke Uchiha didn't look at the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, or the Toad Sage, Jiraiya. Instead, he shyly greeted the woman behind her. "Shizune-neechan…"
Only then did he look at the blonde woman and the white-haired old man. "Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya…"
"…"
Tsunade looked curiously at the faint blush on Sasuke's face, a little confused for a moment. But she soon turned her gaze to Kakashi Hatake and the others, her voice softening somewhat. "Are you sure this little brat Sasuke has lost his memory?"
Before the members of Team 7 could answer, Sasuke Uchiha nodded at her. "Yes. Trouble Lady Tsunade to arrange a hospital room for me. Konoha Hospital, room 207. That room is a single, and the lighting and ventilation are very good. There's no need for a nurse or anything…"
Tsunade: "…"
Jiraiya took a deep breath and slung an arm over Kakashi's neck. "Hey, what's the deal with this guy! He's covered in Orochimaru's chakra signature!"
"I remember he just said he seemed to have cleared out one of Orochimaru's laboratories or something…" Kakashi, who was holding the scroll Sasuke had just given him, suddenly moved to open it. "This is the scroll he gave me…"
"Don't open it!"
Sasuke Uchiha moved forward, wanting to stop Kakashi, but he grabbed at empty air!
Countless pieces of experimental equipment and money fell to the ground…
The last thing to fall out of the seal was a large white-scaled snake…
Jiraiya's eyes narrowed. He looked at Sasuke nervously. "Did you already kill Orochimaru?"
"No, he escaped again."
Sasuke Uchiha shook his head. "Orochimaru is extremely cunning. He would never put his soul in the same body. I only managed to capture a part of his chakra…"
"…Then why did you come back to Konoha?"
"I came to report…"
Sasuke Uchiha paused, realizing his words were a bit inappropriate for the situation, and said in a cold voice, "Because I need to use Konoha's power to kill that man, Itachi Uchiha!"
His acting! Absolutely full marks!
The first one to be fooled was, naturally, Naruto Uzumaki. The yellow-haired youth stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and comforted him. "…Sasuke…"
"Even if you're playing dumb, it can't erase the fact that you defected from Konoha back then…"
Tsunade's expression turned serious. As the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, she naturally had to consider Konoha's interests. Her soft red lips parted slightly as she said in a low voice, "If you can help Konoha capture Orochimaru, perhaps I can consider a special pardon…"
"Then let's do that."
Sasuke Uchiha nodded forcefully. He had been thrown into many Tsukuyomi illusions by that crow, and he knew very well that those worlds had certain things in common with their ninja world.
If he could get some intelligence on Orochimaru here, perhaps it would be beneficial for him to carry out his missions in his own world. After all, he also had a competitor!
That crow could find intelligence on Konoha's other S-rank rogue ninja, Zetsu, from time to time, but he had to spend a lot of time and effort to find the slightest clue about Orochimaru. His mission efficiency was just too poor compared to that crow's!
How could he be worse than a lazy crow!
This time, maybe in this world, he could also collect some intelligence on Zetsu. When he returned, he could fiercely despise that crow!
Wouldn't that be double the happiness?
Tsunade looked at Sasuke's suddenly determined gaze, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. She gestured to Kakashi with her eyes and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will reassign you to Team 7. However, Naruto and the others have already passed Kakashi's test…"
"…Does Lady Tsunade mean that I also have to face Teacher Kakashi's test?"
Sasuke Uchiha looked at Kakashi, who was flexing his fingers, and then nodded seriously. "Alright. After all, stealing the bells… that's a pretty good memory…"
Come to think of it, his supervising Jonin, Kakashi, also had to conduct a bell test. So he and Naruto had to use all their strength to beat him into the hospital…
It was clear that their supervising Jonin teacher wasn't particularly strong, but relying on his rich experience and diverse ninjutsu, he had almost fought them to a draw. Fortunately, his and Naruto's strength was sufficient, and they had managed to crush Kakashi's experience.
After that, Teacher Kakashi had never again suggested playing the bell-stealing game with their Team 7, which was undoubtedly much less fun.
Clearly, the Kakashi of this world had not experienced a beating from his disciples. He just announced the rules with a pair of dead-fish eyes.
"Sasuke, although it's just you, I won't let my guard down because of it… Before dawn, you must get a bell from me… Remember, you have to get the bell from me while I'm using my full strength. This isn't the game of house from back then!"
"…Alright."
Sasuke Uchiha looked at him with a complicated expression and asked, "In that case, Teacher Kakashi, am I allowed to use the Eight Gates technique?"
The Eight Gates was a forbidden jutsu.
His physical strength could withstand the power of the Seventh Gate. The final Gate of Death was the boundary between life and death. Even if Naruto was by his side, he wouldn't dare to open it easily, because his little companion's skill level wasn't high enough, and it would be easy to be left with side effects.
And this Naruto wasn't the little companion he trusted!
Besides, to beat up Teacher Kakashi, the Seventh Gate should be enough. If that really didn't work, then he could just use dōjutsu like the Sharingan or Rinnegan…
It was just that he had barely used his dōjutsu. Even his Susanoo could only be勉强 opened to the fourth form when his ocular power was sufficient. After all, opening a Gundam made it easy for that crow to pluck his head off…
Fortunately, his Flying Thunder God Technique was also very skilled…
"Oh, you even learned Guy's forbidden jutsu from Orochimaru?"
Kakashi didn't think too much about it. He just looked at Sasuke in surprise. He figured this kid couldn't be a taijutsu specialist, so he nodded indifferently. "Bring your full strength! Even if you get injured, Lady Tsunade is right here…"
"Then… let's begin!"
Sasuke's eyes sharpened. Then he revealed a smile and extended a hand towards Kakashi. "I hope Teacher Kakashi will go easy on me…"
"I won't go easy on you!"
Kakashi looked at the hand Sasuke extended, casually slapped it away, and said in a cold, scowling voice, "I will only go all out!"
"Mm…"
Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head, looking at his fingertips where the Flying Thunder God curse mark had vanished. Only then did he give a satisfied "Mm."
This was a move that Shisui Uchiha had told him.
It was said that Shisui-nii had been tormented quite a bit by that crow back in the day.
That crow was extremely shameless. Before a sparring match, it had pretended to shake hands with Shisui-nii, and had used the opportunity to stick a Flying Thunder God curse mark on his body. Then it had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to counter Shisui-nii's Body Flicker.
Even if the little brat felt this move was a bit despicable and shameless, he had to learn it!
Because his future was to be just like Shisui-nii… to take care of Konoha's darkness for his own little companion, Naruto!
