Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 16

"I will keep an eye on you, and I will continue to do so!"

"If you dare to lay a hand on Sasuke, I will leak all the village's secrets to the enemy country and kill you at all costs!"

After Itachi finished speaking, his body transformed into a crow and vanished instantly.

Danzo's face turned pale and then red, and he said through gritted teeth, "Uchiha, Itachi!"

He was wary of the other party's Mangekyou Sharingan because he didn't know what special abilities Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan possessed.

If another person like Shisui were to appear, capable of silently and directly changing a person's will, that would be terrifying.

Moreover, Itachi was once a squad leader in the Anbu and knew many secrets about the village!

Sasuke, though he coveted him, dared not touch him.

Naruto's shadow clones hurriedly brought Sasuke here. After examining him, the on-duty medical ninja confirmed, "He has suffered psychological trauma. I'm sorry, with our current abilities, we have no way to treat psychological trauma. We can only wait for the patient to heal and wake up on his own."

Naruto had no choice but to wait in Sasuke's hospital room for Sasuke to wake up on his own.

As for the Ninja Academy, Naruto directly asked for leave for both him and Sasuke.

The Third Hokage personally approved their leave requests.

The news of the annihilation of the Uchiha clan gradually spread throughout Konoha.

The spies in Konoha quickly relayed this astonishing news back to their own village.

For a time, the entire ninja world was in turmoil, and the four great nations were eager to take advantage of Konoha's weakness and try to seize a bite out of it.

However, the Third Hokage decisively dispatched troops to the border, as if to say, "If you dare to make a move, I will immediately retaliate."

The Third World War had just ended, and most of the older generation in each country had died, while the new generation had not yet grown up.

Moreover, the four major powers are hostile to each other and cannot unite at all, so they can only suppress their restlessness.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was not initiated.

With the demise of the Uchiha clan, the students at the Ninja Academy learned why Naruto and Sasuke had taken leave without explanation.

The female classmates all wanted to come to the hospital to comfort Sasuke.

However, they were stopped by the secret agents guarding the entrance.

This was sent by the Third Hokage to protect Sasuke.

Chapter 25 He Still Has the Sun

Naruto stayed at the hospital for a day and a night.

Sasuke finally woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, they involuntarily transformed into Sharingan, with an additional tomoe appearing in each eye.

"Sasuke, you're awake. Have a piece of apple." Naruto took a slice of apple and held it to Sasuke's lips.

"Naruto..." Sasuke didn't eat. He turned to look at Naruto, his eyes blank, like a machine without a soul.

Overnight, his happy life was completely gone.

The most tragic thing is that the person who killed his entire clan was his most beloved brother!

This world is simply absurd.

He's still wondering if this is all a dream, and if he's still in a dream world.

Or rather, he preferred to believe that he was under an illusion.

"Slap!" Naruto's hand slapped Sasuke's face lightly.

"Are you awake?" Naruto asked.

"It feels like it'll hurt!" Sasuke slowly lowered his head, not wanting Naruto to see his eyes.

His eyes were already filled with tears.

It's all true!

Itachi, no, that guy really killed his entire clan!

Why not just kill him as well? What's the point of leaving him all alone?

"What are your thoughts now?" Naruto asked, seeing that Sasuke wasn't eating the apple, as he popped it into his own mouth while eating.

"Revenge! For my parents, for my clan, I must kill Itachi!" Sasuke instantly raised his head, revealing his Sharingan with two tomoe, his eyes filled with hatred.

Naruto nodded, swallowed the apple, and said, "I will help you."

"Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto treated me like family, and I must avenge this!" Naruto's eyes also revealed a shocking killing intent.

His killing intent was no less than Sasuke's.

Only those who lack love know how intense the feeling of love disappearing can be.

Sasuke naturally sensed Naruto's killing intent as well. He paused for a moment, and the killing intent in his eyes lessened. Emotions are like that; when you share them with someone, they aren't as intense.

"Thank you," Sasuke said softly.

"Have a piece of apple?" Naruto placed another piece of apple near Sasuke's mouth.

This time, Sasuke didn't refuse and took a bite of the apple Naruto offered.

"The Third Hokage will probably question you," Naruto said.

"About that guy?" Sasuke asked with his eyes closed, his mind still reeling from the genjutsu, feeling a bit pained.

Fortunately, he had already awakened his Sharingan, which greatly increased his mental strength; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have regained consciousness so quickly.

"Mm," Naruto nodded and said.

“Okay,” Sasuke replied.

Naruto notified the Anbu guards on duty at the entrance, asking them to inform the Third Hokage that he could come over. Sasuke already knew this.

------------------------

"My condolences, Sasuke!" The Third Hokage placed a basket of fruit on the bedside table next to Sasuke's bed and said with a deep sigh.

"I'm fine. If you have any questions, Hokage-sama, I'll tell you everything I know." Sasuke looked at the Third Hokage calmly.

How long does it take for a boy to grow up?

For some, it might take thirty to fifty years, while for others it might happen overnight.

That innocent, naive, lively, and adorable Sasuke is dead.

He died on the night his clan was wiped out.

Now, he is an avenger.

He wouldn't allow himself to show weakness in front of outsiders.

He is the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, the son of the clan leader!

He represents the pride of the Uchiha clan.

As long as he is not dead, the Uchiha clan will not perish!

"Was it Itachi who made the move?" the Third Hokage asked in a deep voice.

“It was him. I saw him kill my parents.” Sasuke nodded in response.

"I understand. Konoha will issue an arrest warrant for him, at the S-rank," the Third Hokage said.

"If possible, please hand him over to me. I want to kill him with my own hands to appease the souls of my clan," Sasuke pleaded.

The Third Hokage hesitated slightly.

“Yes, Third Hokage, this person can only be killed by us,” Naruto chimed in from the side.

"Okay, it's settled then. Regarding the wanted notice for Itachi, I will only have people gather information about his whereabouts." The Third Hokage nodded and said.

After meeting Danzo, Itachi also went to meet the Third Hokage, pleading with him to take care of Sasuke and ensure his safety, while he himself went to an organization called Akatsuki to carry out a spy mission.

The Third Hokage didn't want to issue a warrant for Itachi's arrest, but Itachi had done something so significant that he had no choice but to issue one. However, with Sasuke and Naruto's demands, he now had a reason to do so.

And no one else could say anything about it.

As the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, it is perfectly reasonable for him to personally kill Itachi, who wiped out the Uchiha clan!

"I'll have someone help organize the Uchiha clan's assets. I'll entrust them all to you, Sasuke. This is all I can do for you," the Third Hokage said with a sigh.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Sasuke showed a grateful expression.

"You should get some rest." The Third Hokage turned and left the ward.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Naruto asked, glancing at the time.

"Whatever, let's have some barbecue." Sasuke lay back down, needing to calm the heaviness and pain in his head.

“Okay, you pay me then,” Naruto said casually.

"What are you talking about, you big idiot? Is this how you take care of patients?" Sasuke glared at Naruto and shouted.

“You’re a big tycoon now, if you don’t pay, who will? You expect an orphan like me to pay?” Naruto glared at Sasuke and shouted fiercely.

"Here you go, you pay for it first, I'll pay you back when we get back." Sasuke waved his hand, signaling Naruto to leave.

"I'm only doing this because you're a patient," Naruto muttered as he left the room, leaving Sasuke alone.

"Thank you, Naruto." Sasuke's lips moved slightly, his voice barely audible.

Naruto's method was simply to distract him from last night's memories.

He understands.

But how could such a memory be forgotten!

Sasuke's eyes lost their light again, memories of last night and Itachi's genjutsu lingering in his mind.

This made him even more miserable.

He pulled the blanket up to cover his eyes.

That evening, Sasuke said he was leaving the hospital to go home.

Naruto said nothing and accompanied him back to the Uchiha camp.

It was drizzling, and neither of them used an umbrella, letting the raindrops fall on them.

The pedestrians on the street all stared at them as if they were fools.

Sasuke noticed their gazes, but remained unmoved; he understood Naruto's mindset somewhat.

Who cares about these fools?

He slightly raised his head, looking at the dim sky, knowing that his future life would be just like that dim sky.

"What? Didn't you wash the sleep from your eyes?" Naruto's voice came from behind.

Sasuke's face twitched, and he glared fiercely at Naruto.

But then he saw him looking at him with a smile.

Looking at Naruto's golden hair, Sasuke felt as if he were seeing the sun.

He still has family!

Chapter 26 Sparring

Uchiha resident.

The bodies of the Uchiha clan members have already been collected.

All that remained on the ground were traces of white chalk and bloodstains.

It gradually disappeared as the raindrops slid down.

It seems to suggest that time will wash everything away.

The once-renowned Uchiha clan, which once dominated the ninja world, is now a thing of the past.

Sasuke and Naruto went to Sasuke's house.

There were also two white, human-shaped marks on the floor of Fugaku and Mikoto's room.
