Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Then why was the disaster ineffective?

Naruto simply said:

"You just said that Japan is fueled by evil?"

"But I did not slaughter any Uchiha, so how can I be guilty of anything?"

Chapter 59 Sasuke's Choice

A look of confusion flashed across Sasuke's eyes.

He wanted to kill Naruto because Naruto was the Fifth Hokage and a high-ranking member of the village.

However, the calamity was ineffective against him because Naruto had never killed any Uchiha.

Come to think of it, Naruto was only a few years old at the time.

By this calculation, it seems that I have no reason to kill Naruto.

What about the other high-ranking officials in Konoha?

The three high-ranking officials who knew the truth, as well as the Third Hokage, were all dead. In fact, the three high-ranking officials died at Naruto's hands.

Therefore, his only remaining targets for revenge are Uchiha Itachi, his assistant, and other people in Konoha who are involved.

Sasuke hated Itachi Uchiha's acts of slaughter, but Itachi spared him, even doing so because he loved him.

What exactly are our clansmen?

What exactly is a village?

What exactly is a ninja?

What has my life been like so far? What should I do next?

Love and hate, two completely opposite emotions, intertwined in Sasuke's heart. He felt at a loss and subconsciously turned to Omoikane for help.

These questions can be answered by Si Jian, but at the cost of blindness in his right eye.

Sasuke suddenly felt a little apprehensive, because he realized that the price was within his acceptable range, and he was willing to lose his right eye for an answer.

Just as he was about to channel all his pupil power into his right eye...

boom!

Naruto delivered a heavy punch to Sasuke, the first time since the start of their battle.

"Sasuke, calm down."

"Don't let yourself be controlled by a mere eye technique."

The punch brought Sasuke to his senses a little, but he remained lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

"How about it? Still want to fight?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke sighed and shook his head.

"I'm not playing anymore, I've lost."

Then Naruto punched Sasuke again.

Under Sasuke's questioning gaze, Naruto said calmly, "You even want to kill me? You've really gotten too big for your britches."

Naruto then sat down as well.

Neither of them spoke, and a long time passed like that.

"Naruto."

"Ok?"

"Why is this world, and humanity, so complicated? What should I do?"

Naruto didn't answer Sasuke's question immediately; instead, he thought of Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Omoikaze" grants answers to all questions. Sasuke probably acquired this eye technique because he's currently feeling lost.

Konoha and Itachi Uchiha were his enemies, but he was quite happy living in Konoha for the past year.

Similarly, Itachi Uchiha loved Sasuke while massacring the Uchiha clan.

"The Day of Calamity" can bring both eternal pain and healing. These two diametrically opposed effects are probably because Konoha and Itachi Uchiha instilled in Sasuke two vastly different emotions: love and hate.

“Sasuke, I understand how you feel,” Naruto suddenly said.

"When I first learned about my background, I didn't know how to face my three generations of grandfathers."

“He gave me living expenses and was the only person who would visit me when I was a child. He helped me a lot. As an orphan, of course I should thank him and thank Konoha.”

"However, I am still the son of the Fourth Hokage, the orphan of a hero, but I have been ostracized since I was a child and have no friends I can get along with. When I saw my parents' chakra, even they were shocked and angry."

Sasuke couldn't help but look at Naruto, expecting to see the same confusion and dejection on Naruto's face as he did, but he didn't; Naruto was smiling.

"Later, I realized that people are just that complicated, full of duality."

"I will not become a person who is blindly loyal to Konoha just because of the kindness that the Third Hokage showed me, but I will not destroy Konoha because of the unhappiness of my childhood."

"If I had to say why, it's probably because I've made a lot of new friends now."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and grinned.

"Of course, I'm not saying you should make the same choice as me, Sasuke. I'm just giving you a reference."

Ultimately, the decision of what to do rests with you.

After hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to organize his thoughts.

To be honest, he was still very confused.

He still struggled to give a precise answer to those questions.

However, he did know how to find the answer.

"I... I might still need to find Itachi Uchiha, and I'll likely have to fight him."

"I really have a lot of questions I need to ask him."

"As for Konoha, I don't know how to deal with it for now. Let's find the answer first."

After saying this, Sasuke let out a long sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed.

Naruto smiled slightly and reached out his hand to Sasuke.

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then grabbed Naruto's hand and stood up.

"Aren't you afraid that the answer I ultimately find will still lead to the destruction of Konoha?"

"That will have to wait until your strength surpasses mine."

Sasuke snorted coldly.

Thinking about it carefully, Naruto didn't even consider this a battle, did he? Because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, even if he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is the composure of the strong. Sasuke's life and death are entirely in Naruto's hands, so Naruto doesn't need to fight back at all. If he really wanted to kill him, it would be an easy thing.

No, I still have strengths that Naruto surpasses, such as the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the powerful abilities of "Omoikane" and "Matsuhi" are something even Naruto cannot ignore.

However, Naruto really didn't care.

The reason he told Sasuke the truth was because he saw a reflection of his past self in him—so ignorant and weak, kept in the dark.

However, Naruto didn't care, but the system silently memorized Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Given how convenient this ability is, if you were to directly ask "how to become stronger than the Sage of Six Paths," you could skip the research steps altogether.

Of course, Sasuke's eye power probably couldn't support the answer to this question, otherwise he would have asked it himself.

"Speaking of which, how did you become so strong so quickly? What's your secret?"

"Of course, it's because I have a good partner."

Sasuke was confused and didn't know who Naruto was referring to.

"However, it's not impossible for me to help you create a training plan."

Sasuke was somewhat tempted by the words. Having been Naruto's teammate for a year, he had personally witnessed just how strong Naruto's analytical abilities were.

"What price do you need me to pay? To do something shady for Konoha?" Sasuke asked cautiously.

Naruto rolled his eyes at him.

"After I take office, there will be no shady dealings with me."

"However... there will definitely be a price to pay."

"what?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Sasuke remained silent for a moment after hearing this before speaking, "If you need my Mangekyou Sharingan, just say the word. As long as you can make me strong enough, I don't care if I go blind."

Naruto didn't answer the question; he just stood up with a smile and waved to Sasuke.

"Let's go back. I brought you here specifically so as not to damage Konoha."

"Tch, I'm really impressed by you."

Chapter 60 The Plan to Become Stronger

Sasuke and Naruto walked side by side, heading towards Konoha.

"By the way, Sasuke, I might need to pick up some things from our Uzumaki clan on the way. You can go back first if you want."

"The Uzumaki clan's stuff? I want to go too. I've always been curious about whether the power of the Uzumaki clan or the Uchiha clan is stronger."

After agreeing on their plan, Naruto led Sasuke toward the ruins of Uzugakure.

Uzugakure is a country founded by the Uzumaki clan. It is an ally of Konoha and is extremely skilled in sealing techniques, such as the Reaper Death Seal, which was developed by the Uzumaki clan.

Unfortunately, Uzuhime Village was feared because its sealing techniques were too powerful, and it was destroyed by a coalition of other countries. Konoha, its ally, did not offer any help for some reason.

Because of this, Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, ended up in Konoha, while Karin and her mother had to flee to the hellish Kusagakure. As for the remaining Uzumaki clan members, it's unknown whether any survived.

"We've arrived."
