However, he didn't notice that Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand had already clenched tightly.

He had spoken to his son about this, but unfortunately, his son had been too deeply brainwashed by the Fire Consciousness. He actually said that with the Chunin Exams approaching, he, as the teacher of Team 10, couldn't let his students down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with heartache and disappointment.

I've assigned you three students to consolidate your future rule!

I'm not asking you to risk your life!

As a long-serving politician, he abandoned the precarious state of Konoha to Minato during the Third Shinobi World War. After Minato revived Konoha from the brink of collapse, he eagerly returned to the position of Hokage, using the pretext of consolidating Konoha's power while simultaneously clinging to power and refusing to elect a new Hokage for many years.

Furthermore, he devoured all the wealth of Kushina, the princess of a fallen kingdom, and Minato from his mission, using it to fuel his own consumption and win over other ninja clans.

He secretly spread rumors that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Fox, while openly giving Naruto his monthly pension, which would be spent on a few buckets of paint, in his own name and the village's name.

During his reign, he was utterly cowardly in his efforts to consolidate his rule. For the sake of his power, he resorted to any means necessary, including ceding territory and paying reparations. He even tacitly approved Danzo's annihilation of the Uchiha clan because he felt the Uchiha were too difficult to control.

What was he doing all this for? For whom?

The Hokage's son is still the Hokage, isn't it all for Asuma's sake?

And what was the result? All the hard work I've put in over the years, that guy didn't appreciate at all because of the Fire Consciousness!

Stupid!

Mitokado Homura was slightly relieved after hearing this.

"Monkey, I hope you remember what you said!"

After saying this, Mitokado Homura left the Root headquarters with a grim expression.

Koharu, upon seeing this, sighed.

"Hiruzen, is this arrangement really a good idea?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his back to her, so she couldn't see his expression.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"It's all for Konoha."

The new Squad 7, along with the rest of the members, had already arrived at the Imperial Bridge area created by Nagato.

"Sasuke, your genjutsu has improved again!"

Seeing Sakura so obedient to Sasuke, Akito couldn't help but praise her.

"Humph!"

Zuo Zhu snorted coldly

Mingren smiled, unconcerned about Zuo Zhu's attitude.

It's been like this for so many years, anyway.

"So our Team 7 is now complete! You guys will stay here for now, while Sasuke, Kakashi, and I will head to Konoha together!"

"Once I find your variants, I'll bring them back using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Everyone, replace them and then participate in this world's Chunin Exams!"

Mingren began to explain the next steps of the plan.

The Ming people of the Empire possessed exceptional talent from a young age, and due to their strength, they were essentially led by him in this operation.

Even Kakashi confidently entrusted the decision-making power to Akito.

"Okay, that's a hassle."

Luwan nodded

"Well, trouble!"

Gaara gave Akito a gentle smile.

Sasuke looked somewhat displeased; he glared at Gaara.

"We're all working for the empire, what's the trouble!"

Sasuke glanced at Gaara, then looked at Akito.

"I wonder how much you've improved lately. If I weren't worried about delaying the Empire's mission, I'd love to spar with you right now!"

The man scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"Sasuke, what's the rush? As far as I know, the Chunin Exams in their world require one-on-one duels, back then..."

"Alright, now it's time to transform into yourself in this world!"

After the man finished speaking, his body began to dwarf, and then six fox whiskers appeared on both cheeks.

Kakashi then put on the headband he had previously captured, and then covered his left eye at an angle.

Sasuke disdainfully accepted the headband handed to him by Akito, then reluctantly put it on.

"Let's go!"

The new Class 7 slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's so full of youthful passion and energy!"

Xiao Li did push-ups, watching the figures of the group disappear and couldn't help but praise them.

"What do you think I would be like in this world?"

Xiao Li guessed

"Tch, it certainly won't be someone as clueless as you."

Ichiya watched as Akito and Sasuke's figures disappeared into the horizon, then slowly withdrew his reluctant gaze.

"Let's go. They're busy, but we can't be idle. I've already spotted some treasures buried in the deep sea. Let's take this opportunity to collect as much as possible and contribute to the reinforcement of the passage!"

Ningci rolled his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the unfathomable surface of the sea before his consciousness sank into the space of his bracelet, transmitting the seabed exploration map containing chakra minerals to several people.

"Everyone, take a break. Let my puppet do it!"

Kankuro stepped forward, and then two scrolls opened, instantly revealing countless spherical golems. They sank to the seabed and then extended their claws to begin mining.

When they encounter excessively large mineral veins, they will combine, quickly creating waves on the seabed.

"Having puppets is so convenient. Luckily, we have a puppeteer!"

Luwan praised Kankuro

"Let my bugs come and help too!"

Countless tiny insects instantly flew out from Naizhi's body and then burrowed into the seabed.

"You guys are too much trouble!"

Gaara shook his head.

"Magnetic Release: Gravity!"

In an instant, the water within a ten-mile radius of the sea boiled, and then mines flew up one after another.

"Gaara! When did you learn Father's Magnet Release?"

Kankuro looked shocked.

Gaara simply chuckled and said nothing more.

Sasuke followed closely behind Yu, his face filled with nervousness and unease, yet also with a hint of anticipation.

He had never felt so excited and thrilled as he did today, because this was the first time in his life he had soared through the air and experienced true freedom.

At this moment, Sasuke seemed to have forgotten all his troubles and worries, and he released all the anger that had been building up inside him for many years.

He savored the freedom and tranquility of the moment, feeling the wind whistling past his ears, looking down at the earth below, at the mountains and rivers that had once confined him; now, everything seemed small and insignificant.

You summoned a giant raven, which spread its wings and soared into the sky, carrying the two of them.

Sasuke stood beside Yu, looking down at the ground, his eyes sparkling with amazement and curiosity.

He was awestruck by the prosperity of Konoha, and an indescribable emotion welled up within him.

This feeling of being on top of the world made his heart feel broad and open, and his originally extreme thoughts gradually faded away.

Sasuke couldn't help but sigh, "So this is how big the world is... I used to live in a secluded corner, my heart filled with hatred, and I never thought about truly experiencing my own life."

His gaze was fixed on the distance; he seemed to see a wider world there.

He was once consumed by revenge, believing that only by eliminating Itachi could he find peace.

But at that moment, he suddenly wavered, feeling that there were still many things in this world worth exploring and pursuing.

As Sasuke gradually calmed down, Yu's lips curled up slightly.

That's right, he just unintentionally used genjutsu on Sasuke.

He didn't want to see his younger brother sink deeper and deeper into hatred, as for himself in that other world?

He believed that his younger brother, Zuo Zhu, would give him a satisfactory answer.

Sasuke, whose mood had calmed down considerably, looked at Yu.

"Hey, Brother You, aren't we going home? Where are we going?"

As the giant crow summon flew further and further away from Konoha, Sasuke became somewhat puzzled.

He initially thought Yu just wanted to show him the prosperity of Konoha and the Empire, but he didn't expect him to fly away from Konoha directly.

"It's just going home."

Looking at Sasuke's bewildered expression, Yu couldn't help but want to pat his head.

Sasuke looked at Yu's outstretched hand and instinctively closed his eyes.

But the next moment, the words "My stupid little brother" didn't come. He was a little disappointed, but feeling the warmth of his older brother's palm, his heart calmed down again.
