Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"This place is so big, where are we supposed to start looking?"

Naruto, who was unfamiliar with the place, looked around.

Sakura pointed in the direction where Hagoromo Gengetsu had left, and said, no longer feeling apprehensive:

"There!"

Naruto and Sakura began searching for Sasuke all over the city.

As the person involved, Sasuke did indeed, just as Sakura had thought, premeditatedly leave the lodging and ran wildly in the direction where Hagoromo Gengetsu had left.

ten minutes later.

He found his target at a takoyaki (octopus ball) stall on the street.

"what?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was just taking the hot takoyaki, turned around and looked at the person who came in, her face showing some surprise.

"Uchiha Sasuke, huh? Interesting."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 57 Sasuke: Please teach me, Master.

Hu~hu~hu~

Running all the way made Sasuke's already badly injured body feel even worse.

But he forced himself to remain calm and looked intently at Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

With the Sharingan's insightful perception, one can naturally distinguish between a living person and an impure body.

Based on the information given by Naruto and Sakura, and considering his own state of mind after being rendered unable to resist by that single glance from the other party.

Undoubtedly, the legendary man who was said to be on par with the gods, and whose brilliance even made the Five Shadows appear somewhat dim, has truly broken free from death and descended upon this world once more.

Such a powerful and incredible person, even the guy I deeply hate couldn't match him.

With that thought in mind, Sasuke no longer hesitated. He stopped Hagoromo Gengetsu and went straight to the point, saying, "I want to become stronger! No matter what it takes, as long as it makes me stronger, I'm willing to do anything you ask!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue took a bite of the takoyaki in her hand and glanced at Sasuke in surprise.

He never expected that Sasuke would pursue power so relentlessly that he would turn his attention to him.

Has this guy always been this brave?

Aren't you afraid you'll kill him yourself?

Or perhaps it's the confidence that comes from the Uchiha clan, from the Sharingan?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's guess was pretty accurate.

As the sole surviving member of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, Sasuke, possessing the powerful Sharingan bloodline limit, was intensely coveted by people like Orochimaru. However, this also made him realize that he was extremely important.

Things are rare.

No one can ignore the Uchiha.

This is his bottom line.

However, this time is different.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue wouldn't tolerate Sasuke's behavior.

Uchiha? It's not like he hasn't seen them before.

When Hagoromo and the Uchiha signed a friendship treaty, which was essentially an alliance, he encountered too many Uchiha ninjas with identical personalities, among whom there might be ancestors of Sasuke's lineage.

The Sharingan, which is considered extremely powerful in the current ninja world, is nothing special in his eyes.

Unless he gets a double kaleidoscope, that won't get his attention.

"Kid? Didn't anyone teach you how to beg for help?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue said something and then walked past the other person without paying any attention to them.

Fortunately, the Hagoromo clan and the Uchiha clan have historically maintained a harmonious relationship, and have had numerous intermarriages over the years.

Although he disliked Madara Uchiha, who was arrogant and haughty, he admired Madara's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, and the two had always maintained a good relationship.

Until the evil Thousand-Handed Old Demon launched a surprise attack, severing his life with a fatal blow.

The past is gone, and the once-prosperous Uchiha clan of Konoha is now pitifully reduced to a single, widowed member.

Out of consideration for the past relationship between the two clans and because of Izuna's striking resemblance to him, Hagoromo Gengetsu wouldn't do anything to Sasuke.

As for taking it a step further, that depends on the other party's performance.

At this moment, Sasuke's expression was unpredictable as he watched Yu Yi Xuan Yue ignore him.

His entire life was consumed by hatred, and he had always been self-centered.

As a proud member of the Uchiha clan, even though Kakashi taught him Chidori, he never called him "teacher" but instead addressed him by his given name.

Fortunately, Kakashi, who had experienced so much, didn't care about these things. If it were any other teacher leading the team, they definitely wouldn't have given Sasuke a friendly look.

'Hagoromo Gengetsu isn't like Orochimaru, who's always spying on my body; he can tolerate any of my impolite behavior.'

Sasuke quickly realized this.

In other matters, someone as proud as him might hold his head high and do things his own way.

But when it comes to revenge, he's willing to give up everything!

Thinking about meeting Uchiha Itachi again, the other party still looked down on him with the same arrogance as before, easily breaking his Chidori and mocking him for wasting his time all these years.

Then, recalling the day of the Chunin Exams, Naruto defeated the rampaging One-Tailed Jinchuriki Gaara, accomplishing what he himself could not; and the recent Tea Country mission, it was also Naruto's efforts that ultimately led to the defeat of Midori Aoi.

Sasuke clenched his fists in resentment.

Finally, he ran to Yu Yi Xuan Yue again, lowered his usually proud head, and bowed, pleading:

"Lord Hagoromo, please teach me how to become stronger! I swear in the name of the Uchiha clan that I will do anything for you as long as I can complete my revenge."

That's rare!

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and for the first time, Uchiha Sasuke didn't feel like he was anything special.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue stopped, finished the rest of the takoyaki in one bite, and said, "Kid, do you know who I am?"

"The legendary Feathered Robe Mystic Moon!"

“It seems your history skills are still lacking,” said Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

If Sasuke had continued with the elite education within the Uchiha clan, instead of being trained by a bunch of hopeless Chunin teachers at the Ninja Academy, not only would his current strength be superior, but he would also have a better understanding of the Uchiha clan's history.

For example, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Hagoromo.

If he knew that the two had been allies for a long time, he could have played the emotional card more now, since he was the head of the Hagoromo clan and the only Uchiha.

Perhaps Sasuke doesn't even know about the Hagoromo clan now, let alone the meaning of his surname.

Forget it.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue shook her head and looked at Sasuke, saying:

"If you want to follow me and seek greater power, you must betray Konoha. Can you do that?"

Sasuke lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

Kakashi, and Konoha, can no longer teach him anything.

Even Kakashi himself was defeated by Itachi.

Staying by their side offers no hope whatsoever.

Only someone stronger, someone who makes even Itachi Uchiha pale in comparison, is worthy of his following.

so.

Sasuke raised his head and looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu again, about to agree.

Sudden.

The shouts of Naruto and Sakura could be heard from not far away.

"Sasuke! Where did you go?"

"Sasuke! Where are you?"

"He hasn't come back for so long, could Sasuke be in danger?"

"Naruto, don't jinx it!"

"Sasuke."

"."

The sound is getting closer.

Just as Sasuke was about to nod in agreement, memories of his past with Naruto and Sakura flashed through his mind, and the words that should have come out of his mouth suddenly became difficult to utter.

"It seems you haven't completely made up your mind yet," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said calmly, noticing all this.

"Come find me in Godfall Valley only after you have truly severed all ties with everything."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yi Xuan Yue disappeared.

Sasuke, who was about to say something but was a step too slow, looked at the spot where Hagoromo Gengetsu had disappeared, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

next second.

"Sasuke! I've finally found you!"

Naruto, who was the first to spot Sasuke, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran over, but he was still quite annoyed.

"Why did you run all this way? We haven't even had a bite to eat yet."

Sakura, a step too slow, shoved aside the complaining Naruto and asked with concern:

"Sasuke, are you alright? Did your bandages tear?"

"I am fine."

Sasuke withdrew his gaze, calmly glanced at Naruto and Sakura, and returned to his original position.
