Konoha: Let Madara teach me how to fireball

"Sasgei? Did you make any mistake?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke suspiciously.

"Wrong? Maybe."

Sasuke neither admits nor denies it. After all, obeying orders is the basic code for ninjas to follow, but Sasuke is a little "unruly".

"Is it really okay? Sasuke-kun."

In Sakura's opinion, Sasuke was just forcing a smile. After all, he had lost his identity as a ninja.

Seeing the worries of his companions, Sasuke was a little amused but very relieved. After all, they showed sincere care for him.

Sasuke only felt embarrassed because his great strength made Sasuke not stick to his identity as a Konoha ninja.

But Sakura and Naruto don't see it that way. They have no idea how powerful Sasuke is.

So after Sasuke lost his identity as a ninja, all they had was worry and concern.

After all, they have been studying in ninja school since they were young, and the so-called ninja is probably their only pursuit at this time.

Jiraiya was filled with emotion as he looked in front of him. After pouring himself a glass, he fell into deep thought.

He has always believed that people will understand and recognize each other, but the killings of ninjas make this day seem far away.

After half a lifetime of futile pursuit, what he saw and heard made him more and more tired of the ninja he had longed for when he was young.

However, there is no need to reveal the worries of adults to children, after all, they are still young...

The atmosphere of the party was so depressing that it ended hastily.

After sending Sakura back, Sasuke walked home alone.

"Hey, little guy."

After Sasuke turned his head, he found that it was Jiraiya calling him.

"can I help you?"

Jiraiya's expression was a little less cynical, but he couldn't be too prejudiced. He just spoke in a more serious manner.

"You learned magic, right?"

Jiraiya's question made Sasuke very curious. After all, Jiraiya was the first person to see his insincerity.

"Yes, but how did you..."

Sasuke was suddenly stunned, and then after careful reflection, he found that the other party had some traces of practicing celestial arts.

"I see."

Seeing this, Jiraiya was very surprised.

"Have you discovered it? What a terrifying talent. Yes, I have also learned the basics of fairy magic, so I am a little more sensitive to natural abilities."

Sasuke looked like he suddenly realized something, and then he remembered the psychic beast that Jiraiya had summoned.

"Is it the magic of Miaomu Mountain? It's really amazing that you can break through Maze Mountain."

Sasuke, who has been to the Ninja World, naturally knows the value of Maze Mountain, so he sincerely admires it.

"Well, almost."

How could Jiraiya admit that he was Myobokuyama who happened to be a counter-psychic?

After changing the topic, Jiraiya asked seriously.

"What makes you pursue great power?"

"Live."

The same answer as before, Sasuke still wants to survive, at least for now, this purpose will not change.

"... "

After hearing the answer, although it was different from what I had guessed, it didn't matter much.

"Although I'm sorry to say this, I have to tear off this shame. If, I mean if one day, you want to hurt Konoha, then I will stop you at any cost."

After vaguely understanding the truth about the Uchiha genocide, Jiraiya no longer had a good look on those old immortals.

But after all, he is still Jiraiya, the mad ghost of Konoha's three ninjas.

"Oh!"

After saying something, and without saying anything for a long time, Sasuke turned around and left, leaving Jiraiya standing alone under the light.

……

The next morning, after getting up, Sasuke created a shadow clone.

"From now on, you are Sasuke Uchiha of Konoha."

The shadow clone is condensed by chakra, so it will eventually dissipate.

But Sasuke, who is proficient in Sage Mode, can let the shadow clone absorb natural energy to maintain his shape. In this case, as long as he sneaks out quietly, the order given by Sarutobi Hiruzen yesterday will become empty words.

After the shadow clone picked up his schoolbag and went to school, Sasuke used his special power to integrate himself into the earth.

Compared to changing the environment, Sasuke's integration into the environment consumes much less, and unlike Earth Release, Sasuke's integration has no flaws.

Speaking of which, something similar to Sasuke's ability is White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique, but Sasuke doesn't know about it.

The memory fragments that kept flashing back did not introduce any setting to him.

"Then before leaving, I need to go to the roots first."

According to Orochimaru's memory, Sasuke quickly found the location of the root headquarters.

The barrier at the root can detect any intrusion of chakra, and even a ninja at the root will trigger the barrier alarm if he does not enter in a specific way.

However, in the state of fusion with the earth, even the barrier cannot detect Sasuke's movements.

But even so, after leaving the earth and appearing in the root, Sasuke will be discovered by the barrier instantly, so there is very little time left for him.

"According to Orochimaru's memory, it should be here."

The Hashirama cells in the roots were kept in the most secluded laboratory, but Orochimaru was the one who conducted Hashirama's experiments after all, so based on his memory, Sasuke quickly found the location of Hashirama's cells.

"The number looks much smaller than Orochimaru's memory. Was it transferred?"

But how much is not important to Sasuke, what is important is that there is.

After breaking away from the earth, Sasuke soon felt a sense of voyeurism.

"Time is running out."

At the same time, the alarm at the root suddenly sounded, and Sasuke still calmly sealed the container for cultivating Hashirama's cells into the scroll.

"Done, then goodbye."

After the main target was obtained, Sasuke reintegrated into the earth and moved towards the outside of Konoha.

Not long after, the door to the laboratory was kicked open, and Danzo Tsutomu walked in incomprehensibly.

"Check out what just happened here."

Danzo gave an order, and all the ninjas in the roots started to move.

"Sir, several copies of Hashirama's cells are missing here."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Danzo's eyes immediately narrowed.

The other ninjas on the side all looked at him solemnly, because they knew that this was a sign of Danzo-sama's anger.

"Is there anything strange about Sasuke Uchiha?"

Obviously, in Danzo's view, Sasuke is the most suspect. After all, in the village today, only Sasuke, who has peeked at Orochimaru's memory, knows the news about Hashirama's cells and has the motive to do such a thing.

Hashirama cells represent powerful power, and Uchiha's Sharingan can suppress the side effects of Hashirama cells, so it is inevitable that Danzo would think so.

"Sir, Uchiha Sasuke went to Ninja School to study normally today, and there was nothing unusual."

Even though his subordinate said so, Danzo couldn't help but frown.

"Are you sure it's not a shadow clone?"

In this regard, the root ninja explained.

"After Uchiha Sasuke left, we checked carefully to make sure there was no one else."

The implication is that it will not be a shadow clone. Danzo naturally knows the methods of the root ninja, so he has no choice but to exclude Sasuke from his doubt list.

But what they never imagined was that the ninja who was hiding in the secret surveillance would be seen by Sasuke, and there was no secret at all.

What's more, Sasuke's ability to blend into the earth makes him invisible and completely undetectable.

And just when Danzo and the others were in great distress, Sasuke had already left Konoha Village and embarked on a journey outside the ninja world.

Unlike last time, Sasuke was not going to move forward at full speed, but walked step by step at a normal speed. After all, walking on the earth is also training.

So, after putting on his cloak and hat, Sasuke's journey started again after a short rest.
