Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 243 Uchiha Sasuke: Naruto's father is the Fourth Hokage?!

root base.

Uchiha Sasuke met a group of people.

When Sasuke Uchiha saw this group of people, he felt an even greater shock than when he had just met his clansmen; his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

These people…

It's actually the Hokage from all the previous generations...

Uchiha Sasuke never imagined that he would meet four deceased Hokage. Those heroes who had long since sacrificed themselves on the Hokage Rock had actually appeared at the Root base!

"The First, Second, and Third Hokage..."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened as his gaze fell upon the only person he recognized: the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I'm here too..."

When Minato Namikaze saw Sasuke Uchiha, he smiled and extended his hand to him: "I am Naruto's father. When I was resurrected, I secretly saw you all. Thank you for taking care of him while you were on missions..."

"Naruto's father! The Fourth Hokage..."

Sasuke Uchiha's pupils dilated instantly!

Sasuke Uchiha thought of his underdog comrade, who had been ostracized by the villagers since childhood; everyone knew he was an orphan…

but…

I never expected this...

Naruto Uzumaki's father was actually the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!

The teammate who was always considered a loser and ostracized by the villagers turned out to be the village hero, the Fourth Hokage!

but…

These Hokage have all...

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was filled with doubt, Karin answered his question from the side: "These are the Hokage that Lady Kagura resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

"Because Lady Kagura was always worried that Orochimaru would resurrect the past Hokage and become an enemy of Konoha, she preemptively resurrected the past Hokage. The past Hokage responded to Lady Kagura's call, and even though they were dead, they were still willing to persevere in protecting Konoha..."

"..."

The expressions of the four Hokage present were somewhat subtle.

Karin is really good at spouting nonsense!

However, Sasuke Uchiha actually believed it!

Karin extended her palm and said softly, "Now you will learn the Flying Thunder God Technique here. Once you master it, Lady Kagura will assign you to an S-rank mission. This technique will guarantee your safety during the mission..."

"Will the Fourth Hokage be my future teacher?"

Uchiha Sasuke actually felt a strange sense of fate.

Because his mentor, Jonin, was Kakashi Hatake, and he knew that Kakashi Hatake had learned the unusual Flying Thunder God Technique. Kakashi Hatake would occasionally mention the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the Flying Thunder God Technique was once Minato Namikaze's signature technique!

"No…"

Karin shook her head and gestured to Tobirama Senju beside her: "The Second Hokage was the developer of the Flying Thunder God Technique; he is your future teacher..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha's face immediately fell.

Because he had met Tobirama Senju in the Land of Waves, and their encounter was somewhat unpleasant, Sasuke Uchiha did not have a particularly good impression of Tobirama Senju.

"That born evil Uchiha brat..."

"They might not even have the spatial-temporal talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique..."

As Tobirama Senju looked at Sasuke Uchiha's familiar face, he felt a sense of absurdity about fate, and that the deceased Izuna Uchiha was corrupting his spirit.

"Tobirama, he really looks like Izuna!"

Last time, Hashirama Senju didn't see Sasuke Uchiha, so when he saw Sasuke this time, he couldn't help but look surprised.

The First Hokage sensed something was amiss and cautiously glanced at Tobirama Senju, whose expression was rather grim. He was aware of the feud between his younger brother, Tobirama Senju, and Izuna Uchiha; the two had been mortal enemies since childhood…

Who is Izuna?

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but frown.

"Uchiha Izuna".

Tobirama Senju didn't shy away from his past, coldly stating, "In the Warring States period, there was an Uchiha I killed who always boasted about possessing the Sharingan, yet I killed him with the Flying Thunder God Slash..."

"!!!"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression immediately turned even more grim.

Uchiha Sasuke could clearly feel the malice that Senju Tobirama harbored towards him; this Second Hokage was really not on good terms with him!

"Can I change teachers?"

Sasuke Uchiha immediately looked at Karin.

Karin looked at Sasuke Uchiha and softly advised, "The Second Hokage is the most suitable person to teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique. Kagura-sama doesn't recommend you change teachers..."

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was indeed skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique, but that doesn't mean he was good at teaching disciples; at least, he didn't succeed in teaching Kakashi Hatake…

and…

The Fourth Hokage's personality was somewhat eccentric.

"I can help you with your studies too."

Minato Namikaze, completely oblivious to his own shortcomings as a teacher, smiled and patted Sasuke Uchiha on the shoulder: "This technique is very simple, I'm sure you can learn it..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded, feeling much more at ease.

"First, let's create a unique Flying Thunder God mark..."

When Minato Namikaze was teaching Sasuke Uchiha, he immediately began by instructing the boy on aesthetics, even demonstrating with his own Sword of Love: "I can give your Flying Thunder God Seal a nice name, only then can you feel the connection between the Flying Thunder God Seal and you..."

"Fourth Hokage, don't mislead the younger generation here!"

Tobirama Senju glanced at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and felt that this somewhat eccentric Fourth Hokage was misleading the younger generation, which he found unbearable: "The Flying Thunder God Seal is just a symbol. What's really important is to first find a coordinate where space-time teleportation can be performed..."

Tobirama Senju, seeing Sasuke Uchiha deep in thought, immediately began to berate him: "You evil Uchiha brat, what are you standing there for? Come and learn from this old man how to find your own spacetime coordinates!"

"I see!"

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, feeling a chill run down his spine.

One night passed.

Sasuke Uchiha eventually acknowledged Tobirama Senju's teaching abilities.

Although Sasuke Uchiha felt that Tobirama Senju was somewhat incompatible with him, compared to Minato Namikaze, the seemingly trustworthy Fourth Hokage, Tobirama Senju was far superior. At least Sasuke felt that if he could be patient, he could understand Tobirama Senju's teachings...

As for Naruto's father...

I don't seem to be very good at teaching others.

But Naruto's father is really good at comforting people...

Whenever Sasuke Uchiha was being berated by Tobirama Senju and felt he had no chance of learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze would always step in to comfort him, like a gentle father comforting his child…

the next day.

In the early morning.

Uchiha Sasuke has already grasped the basic steps of how to condense the Flying Thunder God seal. He has also encountered the same predicament as Hatake Kakashi. However, he has more spatial-temporal talent than his mentor Jonin and has easily found the existence of the spatial-temporal coordinates.

The next step for Uchiha Sasuke was to try to transform his Flying Thunder God seal into a Uchiha clan fan seal. It was this design that greatly displeased Senju Tobirama.

"As expected of that born evil Uchiha brat! I thought you'd at least leave behind a mark symbolizing Konoha, like that brat Kagura!"

"The Second Hokage!"

Sasuke Uchiha didn't care about any of that; he was extremely dissatisfied with Tobirama Senju's attitude towards the Uchiha: "Aren't the Uchiha members?!"

"..."

Tobirama Senju was speechless.

"You can leave during the day."

Karin came to check on Sasuke's studies and saw him off from the Root base, whispering a warning: "The secrets of the Root base must not be leaked to anyone..."

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke knew very well why it had to be kept secret.

Neither the four dead Hokage of the Root base nor the survivors of the Uchiha clan can be known to outsiders; these secrets must always remain in their hearts.

but…

This is truly torture.

When Sasuke Uchiha was on a mission with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno during the day, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Naruto, who was still acting carefree.

This guy…

Parents died at birth...

He hasn't met his father yet, has he?

"What's wrong, Sasuke?"

Naruto Uzumaki noticed Sasuke's somewhat pitying gaze.

"No, it's nothing."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head.

The details of the root base must not be disclosed to anyone.

Within the root base.

A group of Hokage were still discussing Uchiha Sasuke.

Although Tobirama Senju was very unhappy with Sasuke Uchiha, he had to admit that Sasuke possessed a remarkable talent for space-time manipulation, particularly in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique…

Summer has arrived once again.

Thirteen-year-old Uchiha Sasuke, through diligent training, became even more proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique than his teacher, Hatake Kakashi, and was then taken by Karin to meet Akihara Kagura.

"Your task."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Sasuke Uchiha and said softly, "Leave Konoha, become a rogue ninja in the village, and join Orochimaru to help the village monitor his every move..."

"!!!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head in disbelief.

"Any objections to the task at the root?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't quite understand why Uchiha Sasuke was so shocked by this mission.

"No…"

Sasuke Uchiha was still somewhat bewildered. For the first time, he realized the terrifying nature of Root missions: "What if I become a rogue ninja..."

"The village will issue a warrant for your arrest."

Akihara Kagura casually mentioned the consequences of becoming a rogue ninja, but then added, "But don't worry, I'll keep your information here. In the future, after you complete your mission and return to Konoha, you will become a full member of Root."

"Then I'll be in Class 7..."

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, somewhat reluctant to leave the wonderful world of Team 7.

Because of Akihara Kagura, Uchiha Sasuke also gained great power in Konoha. This made Uchiha Sasuke feel that he could continue to stay and take revenge, so he was reluctant to leave the village. For a moment, he was also reluctant to leave Team 7.

"Are you reluctant to leave Class 7?"

Akihara Kagura watched with great interest the conflicted expression on the young Sasuke's face.

"No!"

Sasuke Uchiha quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I will go on a mission, defect from the village, go to Orochimaru's side, and keep an eye on him..."

Orochimaru is my ally.

When Akihara Kagura said this, she suddenly had a strange feeling, but she still continued, "I sent you to join Orochimaru, partly to monitor the alliance between me and him, and partly so that you could learn and hone your skills under his guidance..."

"Orochimaru isn't..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked up at Kagura Akihara sitting behind her desk, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "He's not a rogue ninja from the village..."

Akihara Kagura shook her head and continued, "You'll soon be a rogue ninja in the village too. There are differences between different rogue ninjas... and this is the darkness of Root."

"Yes, I understand!"

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head again.

Although Sasuke Uchiha didn't know the details of Orochimaru's rogue ninja situation, he was simply someone who left Konoha to carry out an S-rank undercover mission...

Is this the darkness at the roots?

The members of Root are always buried deep underground, never seeing the light of day. If it weren't for a stroke of luck, one would never know what kind of people the Root ninjas are...

People always have to grow up.

Looking at the young Sasuke kneeling before her, Akihara Kagura seemed to recall her own youth: "Everyone has their own path to walk. Clinging to the darkness of Root, drawing power from that darkness to kill Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke, are you truly sure you want to walk this path?"

"yes!"

"Then let's go."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand and said softly, "I'll have someone pass the message to Orochimaru. Orochimaru has always been very interested in your body. Someone will come to pick you up soon. Study hard with him; he'll teach you how to kill Uchiha Itachi..."

"yes!"

Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head heavily, seemingly hesitant as he asked, "I will handle the matter of Team 7 during this time, but the reason for my defection..."

"For power."

Kagura Akihara looked at Sasuke Uchiha and prepared a reason for him beforehand: "Kakashi has always worried that you'll become obsessed with obtaining greater power for revenge, so let's just say you're defecting from Konoha to obtain the power Orochimaru bestowed upon you!"

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and suppressed his emotions: "I'll go back and say goodbye to them..."

"Do not reveal the secrets of the roots."

Kagura Akihara looked at the trembling Sasuke Uchiha and sighed, "Sasuke, on your first mission with Root, you have already surpassed Itachi Uchiha on his first Root mission, because you possess a humanity that is more precious than his..."

Third update!

Today's goal of 10,000 units has been achieved!

Goodnight everyone!
