I'm Sasuke

Konoha, Hokage's office.

"Let Chitong go to Shigu Forest to learn celestial arts." Hearing Sasuke's request, Tsunade couldn't help but frowned. If it had been anyone else, Tsunade would have refused immediately, but as for Sasuke, Tsunade had no choice but to

Think more about it.

After all, Sasuke had a very noble reason, which was to increase his own combat power in the final battle.

After returning to Konoha from Mt. Myoboku, Sasuke took Esdeath and Red Eyes' learning of senjutsu seriously into his mind. Perhaps he was a fan of the authorities, but he had never thought of this aspect before.

Originally, he was planning to let Esdeath and Chi Hitomi go to Ryuji Cave to learn senjutsu, but after considering Chi Hitomi's fighting style and her interest in medical ninjutsu, Sasuke came.

Looking for Tsunade.

He also had the attitude of giving it a try. Even if Tsunade didn't agree, it wouldn't matter. The worst he could do was go to Ryūchi Cave with Esdeath.

Among the three holy places, the magic of Shigu Forest is the mildest. It will not kill people as often as Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain. However, on the contrary, the magic of Shigu Forest is more difficult to practice.

, only people like Tsunade and Sakura who are born with extraordinary talents in chakra control have the opportunity to learn it.

It just so happens that Chitong has such a talent.

"Okay, I can let her try with Slug Sage. Whether she can succeed or not depends on her." Tsunade finally agreed.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work, forget it." Sasuke immediately stood up and thanked him.

This is true. Even if Chitong really can't learn the Shigu Forest, it's not a big deal. The big deal is giving up chakra, cultivating Qi, and having the Real Person Pill and the Immortal Gathering Pill. He can still become a top master.

of.

It has to be said that resources are a very important thing. A state that others may not be able to achieve after decades of practice can be easily achieved as long as there are enough resources.

"Let's go to Ryūchi Cave." After handing the red eyes to Tsunade, Sasuke took Esdeath to Ryūchi Cave. After meeting Tian Xinji, he explained his purpose of coming, and then directly met the White Snake Sennin.

.

I don’t know what happened this time, but White Snake Sennin simply agreed to Sasuke’s request without mentioning any trial at all.

"This place is different from the outside. Don't forget what I told you." After a brief warning to Esdeath, Sasuke left Ryūchi Cave.

Originally, Sasuke wanted to accompany Esdeath to practice here. After all, Ryūchi Cave has a different style of conduct from the other two holy places, but after Tian Xinji drove people away, he had to leave.

Fortunately, no matter what Longdi Cave did, Esdeath's safety was definitely guaranteed. Before leaving, he also told his two psychic beasts in Longdi Cave that if anything happened, they would notify him immediately.

.

Ryūchi Cave's magic and inorganic reincarnation are abilities that work very well with Esdeath's Ice Emperor. It is conceivable that once Esdeath learns the magic, he will definitely become more powerful.

"You guys look very strong, let's have a fight." Unfortunately, what Sasuke didn't know was that his warning to Esdeath had no effect at all. As soon as he left, Esdeath turned to the elder of Ryūchi Cave.

They challenged.

"It's interesting, let me play with you." Ichikijima Hime stood up immediately.

"You look very relaxed." On the roof of Uchiha's mansion, Sasuke was lying leisurely on it that day, looking at the clouds in the sky. Shikamaru suddenly appeared next to him, and then he also lay down.

Go down.

After Chitong and Esdeath went to learn senjutsu, Sasuke spent most of his time except for daily practice. As for tasks, he was not a task maniac like Naruto, nor did he have money to eat. What tasks should he do?

.

If you are an ordinary ninja, this will definitely not work. For an ordinary ninja, even if you are not short of money, you still have to do tasks. Otherwise, what kind of ninja do you want to be? But who makes Sasuke different now?

Just like when he asked Tsunade before that Chitong was going to Shigu Forest, Tsunade agreed after thinking about it. The reason why Xianjutsu is so difficult to practice is not only that it is difficult to practice, but also that the method of Xianjutsu has been changed by three

The Great Holy Land is under control, and with the huge number of ninjas in Konoha, it is not certain that no one can learn senjutsu, but it is a pity that they will never have the opportunity to learn the methods of senjutsu in their lifetime.

"Aren't you also very free?" Sasuke said calmly.

Before Asuma's sacrifice, Shikamaru had always been very lazy and had little energy to do anything, including practicing.

After all, his wisdom is very high. Even if he encounters some masters in the mission, he will solve the problem quickly under his wisdom. Of course, this is also because they have not encountered anyone like Itachi, Orochimaru, and Kisame.

Master.

But this is normal, after all, there are not many such masters in the entire ninja world.

"By the way, why did you come to see me?" After waiting for a moment and seeing that Shikamaru didn't speak, Sasuke spoke again.

"Kakashi-sensei, let me come to you about how to deal with these Akatsuki people." Shikamaru finally sat up and placed a document in his hand next to Sasuke.

"We call Kakashi sensei because he is our guiding jounin. Why do you also call him Kakashi sensei? Speaking of which, you are both jounin now, so you should be considered equal." Sasuke said.

He sat up and said while looking at the documents in his hands.

"I'm used to it." Shikamaru said and lay down again.

"Is the intelligence very detailed? With your wisdom, you know their abilities, so you should be able to deal with them." The file contains all information about Akatsuki members.

Most of them are very complete, but there are only three people who only have a little information. These three people are Uchiha Obito, Nagato, and Konan.

Due to identity issues, Uchiha Obito cannot be exposed for the time being.

Nagato and Konan have similar reasons.

However, this document is only for the public. In fact, Shikamaru knows the information about Obito, Nagato, and Konan. After all, Shikamaru also had a copy of the lie about Jiraiya's death in battle.

In order to strengthen the impression on Naruto, Shikamaru had gone to comfort Naruto before. So far, among the twelve strong ones, the only ones who knew that Jiraiya was not dead were Shikamaru and Sasuke themselves.

"The problem is that some people can't deal with it even if they know their abilities, especially this one." Shikamaru said, sitting up again, turning the document to Deidara's page, pointing at it.

"This one is the most difficult one to deal with. If you want to kill him, you must have enough people to bury him with him." Deidara's powerful self-destruction with a radius of ten kilometers is very difficult to avoid, even if Jiraiya encounters him head-on.

This kind of self-destruction is also a disaster.

In addition, Deidara can also fly. If there are fewer people, it will not be enough to kill Deidara.

"He, leave it to me." After staring at Deidara's information, Sasuke thought for a moment and said.

Indeed, Deidara's strength is not difficult to deal with, but when it self-destructs, Konoha really doesn't have anyone suitable to deal with it, not even Kakashi Hatake using Kamui. The scope of the explosion is too large and cannot be moved at all.

The original Sasuke might have died if he hadn't made a decisive decision and blocked the explosion from the front with Ten Thousand Snakes, and received treatment from Uzumaki Phosphorus immediately afterwards.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?" Shikamaru confirmed again.

"Besides me, who else in Konoha can avoid his self-destruction in an instant?" Sasuke asked.

"That's true." Shikamaru nodded.

As the only descendant of the Nara clan, Shikamaru knows a lot of information about Konoha, including Sasuke's current strength, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and the Rinnegan Eye.

The Nara clan is the brain trust of Konoha. For Nara Shikaku's position, the successor is definitely Shikamaru. No one can change this, but Shikamaru is not mentally prepared for this now.

"After this war, we should be able to gain more time for peace." Shikamaru said softly after putting away the documents.

As the think tanks of Konoha, Shikaku and Shikamaru, not long after Sasuke told Tsunade the plan, they both knew about it and agreed to the plan. Now Shikaku has secretly mobilized his troops.

"Of course. Although it won't reach the level that everyone can understand, there will definitely be no large-scale wars." Sasuke said.

"That's good." After a moment of silence, Shikamaru stood up and seemed to be leaving.

"By the way, Kakashi-sensei wants you to go find him." Before leaving, Shikamaru left these words.

"Kakashi-sensei, you're looking for me." In the Hokage's office, a room on the third floor, Sasuke walked in and saw Kakashi busy.

"Sasuke, you're here, wait for me." Kakashi quickly dismissed the ninja.

"Sasuke, Tsunade-sama asked me to find you. You can't continue like this." Kakashi said after there were only two people left in the room.

"You won't let me do ordinary missions." Kakashi said, Sasuke immediately understood. After all, Sasuke is a younger generation of ninjas in Konoha, and he is not a retired ninja like Hinata and Hizu. It is not okay to stay away from missions like this.

of.

In fact, everything about the mission is a trivial matter. The main reason is that Sasuke has not done the mission all the time, which has a bad impact on Konoha.

In fact, Tsunade doesn't care whether Sasuke completes the mission or not. After all, Sasuke's strength is there, but Konoha's two major advisors seem to be unhappy about this.

After Danzo's death, although the tone of these two advisors' words became much lower, they could still argue with Tsunade on many matters.

Tomorrow is also coming back after three years, but it has already completed several tasks.

"If you don't want to do ordinary tasks, there are S-level tasks here in Konoha, or you can hold a certain position in Konoha." Kakashi expressed Tsunade's thoughts.

"Forget about S-level missions." Although on the surface Konoha accepts all honest missions, sometimes it also accepts some assassination missions. In the past, such missions were basically done by Followers, but now Followers is reforming.

Some tasks are inevitably delayed.

These S-level missions are not necessarily commissioned by the outside world. They also include those issued by Konoha, such as the assassination of some ninja village and ninja leaders who are dissatisfied with Konoha.

Konoha, the Country of Fire, is a dominant family, but it is not without its enemies.

In addition to assassinations, other S-level tasks are long-term tasks such as protecting daimyo. The presidents of some large companies and daimyo of small countries rely on the protection of ninjas from the five major ninja villages.

"Okay, I'm going to do the mission right now." With Sasuke's current strength, doing missions no longer has to be done in a team, it can also be done alone.

"Kakashi-sama, Tsunade-sama is urgent." Just when Sasuke was about to find a few B-level or A-level tasks that wouldn't waste time, an ANBU suddenly appeared.

"I understand." Kakashi said and stood up immediately, "Come with me, maybe something big happened."

To be honest, Kakashi didn't like this kind of office work, so after becoming the Sixth Hokage, and finding out that Naruto had grown up, he immediately abdicated and gave up the position of Hokage to Naruto.

But now, because of Danzo's death, some situations in the ANBU and He's are difficult to handle, so Kakashi has to sit in the office. Originally, Kakashi was supposed to go to the headquarters of He, but in the end, Kakashi moved his office to

Hokage Building.

"Tsunade-sama." After Kakashi and Sasuke walked into the Hokage's office, they immediately saluted Tsunade, and then they saw a monk standing on one side.

"Kakashi, Sasuke, you came just in time. These are people from the Fire Temple. Something happened at the Fire Temple." Tsunade immediately explained the matter in general.

The thing was very simple. Someone massacred the Fire Temple. Only this monk escaped with his life because he hid well. After discovering that the enemy had left, he didn't even bother to clean up the corpse, so he immediately came to Konoha for help.

"Kakuzu and Hidan, these two guys still massacred the Fire Temple." As soon as he heard that it was the Fire Temple, Sasuke understood what happened. He originally thought that this thing would not happen. After all, Akatsuki is now using all his strength.

When hunting tailed beasts, you shouldn't have the trouble of finding the Fire Temple in your free time. After all, Akatsuki doesn't need funds now.

But it seems that he still underestimated Kakuzu's love for money.

"It seems they are Akatsuki's people. I didn't expect them to be so powerful." Kakashi looked shocked.

Kakashi knew very well what the Fire Temple was. It was not an ordinary temple, but a ninja temple. The monks inside were all ninjas, among whom Jilu was one of the twelve guardian ninjas.

Such strength is not inferior to Asma's, and the Fire Temple is not just a land, but also his senior brothers. But even so, the Fire Temple was killed by two people, and the enemy's

The strength is self-evident.

"Sasuke, what do you think we should do?" Fire Temple asked for help. Konoha couldn't ignore it, but this was inconsistent with Konoha's previous plan. After all, Konoha didn't want to conflict with Akatsuki at this stage.

"Of course it's support." Sasuke nodded.
