The new Uzumaki Naruto

The Valley of the End was the place where the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Uchiha Madara had their final battle. A majestic 100-meter stone statue of the two was built here.

Sasuke came here, and at this time he was standing on the stone statue of Hashirama Senju. The cathartic sound of the waterfall slowly calmed his heart.

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Naruto's behavior made Sasuke puzzled. Why, he couldn't understand why Naruto did this.

After opening the envelope, Sasuke was eager to know the answer. At the first glance at the contents of the letter, Sasuke couldn't help but complain:"The handwriting is so ugly!"

Sasuke opened the three-magatama Sharingan and took a closer look at the contents of the letter.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry. I was immature before and didn't consider your feelings. I apologize to you!"

"In the Snow Kingdom, we met the princess. At that time, I was very curious why the princess didn’t want to go to the Snow Kingdom, so I carefully understood and thought about the problem from the perspective of the princess!"

"So too, on our way back from the Snow Country, I put myself in your shoes, Sasuke."

"Revenge, I can’t imagine the hatred in your heart, but if Iruka-sensei, Sasuke, Sister Bai, Kakashi-sensei, the lecherous sage... everyone sacrificed themselves in front of me, I would definitely feel very sad and uncomfortable, and hate myself!"

"As your teammate and friend, I became the disciple of the lustful immortal and became stronger when your strength could not improve. But you are carrying a blood feud. If I force you to stay in Konoha, I think you, Sasuke, will be very uncomfortable and even hate me for the rest of your life!"

"I was not very mature before, and I always took things for granted. If I had been like that, I would never have become Hokage. Sasuke, I learned about Orochimaru's corpse reincarnation technique from the lecherous sage."

"This ninjutsu will achieve the goal of longevity by occupying the target's body, which is Orochimaru's longevity technique, but it also has its disadvantages, that is, the target sacrifice needs to be replaced every three years."

"Orochimaru was severely injured by the Third Generation Grandfather, and a new sacrifice is needed. That is to say, Sasuke, you only have three years to grow up and kill Orochimaru. Don't let Orochimaru take your body away from you!"

Seeing Naruto's letter, Sasuke smiled. When he left Konoha, he was ready to be hated by Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura for the rest of his life. He had made up his mind to cut off all ties, but he didn't expect that Naruto had changed. Although he was still the last one he was familiar with, he had matured.

"Humph, you loser, I won’t need you to tell me that I will kill that stinky snake. Let’s meet again after I complete my revenge!" Sasuke threw the letter into the air and spit out a fireball, burning the letter to ashes. As for the content of the letter, he had memorized it in his mind through the Sharingan.

Sasuke felt relieved at this moment. Maybe it was because of Naruto’s support. In this vast world, he still had a sincere friend. That was the place where he belonged in his heart. If he really completed his revenge and could return to Konoha, it would be a good choice!

Swish!

Sasuke came to the stone statue of Uchiha Madara. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, as if it had never been there. His quiet face did not have any emotion, and the Heaven’s Curse Seal on his neck emanated.

Image Sasuke changed drastically. His hair became longer, and a pair of palm-like wings on his back broke through his clothes. His skin became darker, and there was a dark cross-shaped tattoo in the center of his face.

The increase in strength did not make Sasuke lose his mind. This wonderful feeling was incredible to Sasuke himself. He was no longer the same person as before. Although he was full of strength, he felt very calm in his heart.

The sky gradually became gloomy, and a light rain gradually fell, slowly getting heavier. Sasuke took off the forehead protector on his head, changed back from the second state of the curse seal, got down from the stone statue of Uchiha Madara, and continued to move forward!

……

On the other side, Naruto and others looked at the sudden heavy rain. Inuzuka Kiba rubbed his nose angrily,"Damn it, it's raining. Now the smell will disappear. We have completely lost the trace of Sasuke."

Shikamaru looked at the sky and said,"It looks like the rain won't stop for a while. The air is still so cold. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first!"

Everyone found a tree hole, but Naruto didn't feel anything. After learning ice escape, this environment was very comfortable for him. But Neji, Shikamaru and others were freezing. Naruto silently said sorry in his heart.

"No, it's freezing and raining, and we're wearing too little. Naruto, how come you're fine?" Inuzuka Kiba and Akimichi Chouji hugged each other for warmth, Shikamaru and Neji also clung to each other, while Naruto stood alone at the entrance of the cave, watching the heavy rain outside.

Neji said:"Because of the Ice Escape, Naruto, I don't know how strong you have become now."

""I'm sorry, I was too anxious at that time. Kimimaro was too strong. He had a bloodline limit that allowed him to manipulate bones. His bones were ridiculously hard. My Rasengan hit him, but it didn't hurt at all." Naruto praised Kimimaro, but Kimimaro was indeed strong. If he hadn't borrowed the power of Kurama, he wouldn't have been able to defeat all the enemies.

Shikamaru looked like he had a headache."It's obvious. Let's talk about what to do next. It's raining heavily now, and Kiba and Akamaru can't smell Sasuke."

"Go back and report to Grandma Tsunade!" Naruto spoke first, which surprised everyone.

Inuzuka Kiba asked doubtfully:"Naruto, do you want to continue pursuing Sasuke?"

"Of course we want to, but everyone's condition is very bad. We have already tried our best. It's useless to chase them any further. Bring back the bodies of the Sound Ninjas. They can use the power of a curse seal."Naruto said seriously.

Choji also stopped eating potato chips. Naruto's words surprised them. Shikamaru and Neji felt that there seemed to be other hidden secrets behind it.

The heavy rain stopped.

There was no way to take care of Kimimaro's body, but the other bodies of the Sound Ninjas were all taken back.

They came to the Hokage's office.

Shikamaru, as a Chunin and the captain of this mission, reported everything to the Hokage, as well as the reasons why they could not continue to track Sasuke.

At the same time, he concealed Naruto's unauthorized actions.

Tsunade said:"I was about to ask for help from the Sand Village, but I didn't expect this result.

But you all came back safely.

That's good, Shikamaru.

It doesn't matter if the mission failed.

We just need to do better next time.

"

""Yes, Hokage!" Shikamaru looked serious.

Tsunade held up her chin with both hands and said,"You go back and have a good rest, Naruto stay!"

Ningji and Shikamaru looked at Naruto before leaving, and then left the Hokage's office. Inuzuka Kiba and Akimichi Choji didn't notice anything unusual, and they looked happy. They planned to take a hot bath and change clothes.

After Tsunade signaled Shizune to go out, she and Naruto were the only ones left in the office.

Tsunade said to Naruto directly at this time:"You let Sasuke go on purpose, right?……"
