The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

Chapter 317 Finally Made Up My Mind

After seeing Naruto off, Xia Li fell into deep thought while also searching his own memories.

In Xia Li's memory, he remembered that Naruto's strength in the Sage Fox Mode was stronger than Six Paths Obito, but he was no match for Six Paths Madara.

Now, if Xia Li takes into account ninjutsu, Xia Li is still confident that he can defeat Naruto in the Fairy Fox Mode with some effort.

However, this does not mean that he can be on par with Six Paths Madara. After all, Six Paths Madara is divided into several versions...

For example, single eye spots, double eye spots, spots that absorbed the sacred tree...

However, Xia Li is already satisfied at the moment. After all, he has never had a comparison before, so he has no idea what his specific strength can reach. There is no one around him who is stronger than him.

The strongest person he encountered recently was Nagato, but after he easily defeated Nagato, he was in an incomparable state again.

And now with the fairy fox Mingren, Xia Li finally figured out the stage he was at, which was probably the peak of Super Shadow, or one foot halfway into the Six Paths level.

As for Six Paths Obito, although his nickname is Six Paths Obito, Obito, who is lacking the crucial Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails and is an incomplete Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, actually has not reached the level of Six Paths in strength.

At this moment, Xia Li himself was actually a little surprised. After all, when he was a child, he actually thought that if his strength could reach the Super Shadow, it would be a success. After all, although reaching the Super Shadow could not play a crucial role in the Fourth War, he could still survive by getting by a little bit.

You said that being a Hokage is impossible? That is true, but if Xia Li did not have that ability before, perhaps Xia Li would not have chosen to become a Hokage.

At that time, Xia Li was probably just an ordinary Jonin of Konoha who concealed his strength. This identity was okay for him to get by!
As a result, if he isn't careful he will reach the Six Paths level, and even now he can have a crucial impact on the Four Wars.

Not to mention that his path to becoming stronger has not been cut off. When he has completed the path he currently knows, he will surely undergo a crucial transformation.

Xia Li couldn't help but look forward to how powerful he would be after the transformation.

Xia Li stretched lazily at this time, so he continued to work hard. There were still so many people waiting for him to surpass, such as Six Paths Madara, Six Paths Naruto, and even Six Paths Sage and Kaguya Otsutsuki...

Things that seemed impossible to surpass before now seem possible.

Moreover, Naruto's strength is almost catching up, so what reason does he have to slack off?

Although he doesn't have any cheats like Naruto, such as the power of the Nine-Tails or the power of the Six Paths.

But the reason why Xia Li has been able to get to where he is today is that he is his own biggest cheat. This will be the case in the past, present and future!
A smile appeared on Xia Li's lips, and he started his cultivation path again.

…………

The next day, in Konoha, in the Hokage's office.

At this time, Sasuke was reporting what happened yesterday. Karin sensed a very large and powerful chakra at night.

Sasuke paused and looked at Xia Li before continuing, "According to Karin, the chakra that suddenly appeared is even more powerful than yours."

When Sasuke first heard what Karin said, he thought that Xia Li's strength had broken through again. However, Karin told him that the chakra was not Xia Li's, but more like Naruto's chakra fluctuation, but different.

When Karin said this, she herself was a little bit unconvinced. She thought she had sensed it wrongly, and that the chakra disappeared very quickly afterwards.

So, today Sasuke came to the Hokage's office with doubts. Regardless of his doubts or his duty as the head of the Anbu, he needed to report the matter to Xia Li.

At the same time, Sasuke also wanted to find out what it was. Sasuke didn't think that the owner of that chakra could be hidden from Xia Li, so since Xia Li didn't make any movement, Sasuke didn't look for Xia Li last night. It was only now that he couldn't wait to come and seek answers.

There was no fighting last night. It is almost impossible to hide a fight of that level from everyone, so Xia Li probably knew the owner of that chakra. Could it be that... Sasuke also had an incredible answer in his mind.

Xia Li looked a little strange, and looked at Sasuke. If Sasuke knew that it was really Naruto's chakra fluctuation, he would probably be shocked, and then he would want to become stronger...

Unfortunately, unlike Naruto who has the Nine-Tails cheat, Sasuke doesn't have too many cheats. At least among the cheats before he obtained the power of Six Paths, there seems to be no cheat that can be on par with the Fairy Fox Mode.

However, Xia Li still chose not to hide it. He told Sasuke that Naruto had reached a reconciliation with the Nine-Tails and the power of the Sage Fox Mode, and clearly told Sasuke that Naruto had surpassed him in some aspects.

"Nine-Tails Mode plus Sage Mode?" Even though Sasuke had some guesses at this time, he was still shocked. He had never expected that Naruto would become so powerful.

From what Xia Li said, Naruto not only surpassed Xia Li in chakra, but also in many other aspects.

This was a little hard for Sasuke to accept. He couldn't see any trace of Xia Li at the moment, but Naruto had already surpassed Xia Li. What happened to their agreement to improve together? How come he had fallen so far behind all of a sudden?

If this continues, Sasuke feels that he won't have to compete with Naruto for the position of Hokage.

Although the position of Hokage is not something that can be achieved by just being strong, it also does not mean that one cannot become Hokage just because of weak strength.

But Sasuke felt that even if that was the case, the difference couldn't be too big, otherwise even if he became Hokage he would feel ashamed of being the Hokage. Sasuke felt that even if the Hokage was not the strongest one, he was still one of the top ones in the village.

Unless Naruto has already been Hokage and he is the successor, in that case it is possible, but Sasuke can't wait that long.

Sasuke took a deep breath at this time, and finally made the decision that he was reluctant to make. He looked at Xia Li seriously and said, "Xia Li, transplant the cells of the first generation and Itachi's eyes to me!"

"Are you sure?" Xia Li showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"Yes, I absolutely cannot fall too far behind Naruto, and strength is just strength, there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong." Sasuke said seriously. He had actually figured it out before, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Well, but there is one thing you need to know. Even if you transplanted the cells of the first generation and Itachi's eyes to open the Eternal Mangekyō, you probably won't be Naruto's opponent. It will only make you closer to Naruto." Xia Li said at this time.

Xia Li didn't want to attack Sasuke, but he wanted to be prepared. In case Sasuke found out after completing all this that he was still no match for Naruto, his mentality might collapse a little.

Of course, with Sasuke's mentality, he can adjust well, but it is too late for him to regret, and the transplanted cells and eyes cannot be removed.

"What if we add the perfect Sage Mode?" Sasuke asked with burning eyes.

Suddenly, Xia Li fell silent. After all, in the original work, when Sasuke activated the final form of Susanoo, it seemed that he did not have a perfect Sage Mode. He was just able to borrow Jūgo's power. This was very different from achieving the perfect Sage Mode by himself.

Moreover, with Hashirama's cells, it seems that it would be easier to master the Sage Mode.

Therefore, Xia Li was not sure what level of power Sasuke could reach for a moment.

"The perfect Sage Mode is not so easy to achieve." That's all Xia Li could say.

"I will definitely succeed!" Sasuke's tone was full of determination. If he couldn't catch up even so, then that should be enough, right?
"Okay, I agree." Xia Li said.

"Hmm? Do we need anyone else's consent?" Sasuke looked at Xia Li with some confusion.

"Of course it's Teacher Tsunade. After all, she is the only surviving granddaughter of the First Hokage. If you want to use the cells of the First Hokage, it's best to get Teacher Tsunade's consent." Xia Li said, "Besides, Teacher Tsunade is free now, you can also ask her to transplant the cells of the First Hokage and Itachi's eyes for you."

Suddenly, Sasuke was silent. Although he had a good impression of Tsunade, she was still a member of the Senju clan. So would she really agree to let a member of the Uchiha clan transplant the cells of the first Hokage? Not to mention helping him transplant Itachi's eyes.

But Sasuke also felt that what Xia Li said was right. Using the other party's grandfather's cells naturally required the other party's consent.

"I understand. I'll go find Lady Tsunade now." Sasuke nodded and left.

Xia Li looked at Sasuke who was leaving and smiled. He felt that Tsunade would not make things difficult for Sasuke in this regard. What did the feud between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have to do with Tsunade?

At this time, Xia Li thought of a problem, that is, the reason why Naruto was so anxious to find him to fight the Nine-Tails seemed to be because he had this idea after seeing Sasuke's Susanoo.

Now, because of Naruto's strength, Sasuke chooses to accept the first generation's cells and Itachi's eyes.

Therefore, these two people are really interesting. Even in this world, they are still chasing each other. They are really worthy of being the protagonist and the second male lead who got the female lead's script. Xia Li didn't think about it anymore, and Nara Shikaku next to him didn't say anything, but his mood now was not as calm as he seemed.

Although he didn't know how powerful Naruto was, the power displayed by Xia Li made him feel that it was not a level that a human could achieve. Moreover, Nara Shikaku also knew that what he saw was probably not the full strength displayed by Xia Li.

Now, Naruto has surpassed Xia Li in many aspects?

Moreover, it's not just Naruto, is Sasuke going to catch up now? Listening to the conversation between Xia Li and Sasuke, even if Sasuke can't reach their level, he's probably not that far behind...

This made Nara Shikaku gasp in surprise. Why were such powerful beings rushing to appear? Since the death of the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, there has not been such a terrifying existence in the ninja world, right?

Now three of them suddenly appear. What kind of era is this?

Nara Shikaku also made the same sigh as the Slug Sage.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku also thought of what Xia Li had accidentally revealed before. At this moment, Nara Shikaku felt that Xia Li's idea might really succeed...

After all, these three are members of Konoha! However, Nara Shikaku also doubted whether other villages also had people like Xia Li. After all, the existence of Xia Li and the other two made Nara Shikaku feel that it was not too difficult to become so strong. Nara Shikaku also knew that this might be his own illusion...

Nara Shikaku also began to look forward to it. If this was true, then he would be witnessing history.

…………

At this time, Sasuke had already found Tsunade.

"Well, what a rare guest." Tsunade said a little surprised when she saw Sasuke coming to visit.

At this time, Shizune had already prepared tea for Tsunade and Sasuke.

"Tell me what you need." Tsunade sat on the other side of the table in a very bold posture, drinking tea and asking.

Tsunade didn't think that Sasuke would come to talk to her for no reason. Although their relationship was good when she was Hokage, it was not to this extent.

"Lady Tsunade, this is what's going on." Sasuke had no intention of hiding anything and told Tsunade about his conversation with Xia Li, then looked at her expectantly.

"Well, so you want to transplant grandpa's cells and also want me to transplant Itachi's eyes for you?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes." Sasuke nodded.

Suddenly, there was no movement in the room. Tsunade was seen sipping tea from a cup, seemingly thinking about something.

Just when Sasuke thought Tsunade was going to refuse, Tsunade spoke.

"Since Xia Li has already agreed, it means he agrees with your path, so there is no reason for me to refuse."

Suddenly, Sasuke looked at Tsunade in surprise. He thought he had failed, but he didn't expect a sudden comeback. Tsunade actually agreed?

"Are you surprised?" Tsunade asked with a smile.

Sasuke nodded and said, "After all, the relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan does not seem to be good."

"Hmph, those are all trivial matters. Past grudges cannot constrain us now. Besides, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are no longer here, so why bother about them?" Tsunade waved her hand and said, very free and easy.

Sasuke looked at Tsunade and nodded. As expected, he thought that if Tsunade was willing to take over the position of the Third Hokage before, perhaps things would have changed. Unfortunately...

"But, unfortunately, if all the Uchiha clan were as polite as you, even that old guy Danzo would not be able to find a suitable excuse if he wanted to." Tsunade said.

When Tsunade was the Hokage, she also saw Sasuke's actions and felt a little sorry about it. She did not think that her second grandfather's theory was wrong. People of the Uchiha clan were more likely to generate hatred than ordinary people, and were more easily blinded by hatred.

But doesn't Sasuke also have hatred? And it's a deep hatred, but he can still grow to what he is now, which may also explain that the influence of the Sharingan is not absolute.

Unfortunately, Sasuke alone couldn't prove this.

Sasuke fell silent in response to Tsunade's words. Thinking back to his clansmen, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could it be possible?
Sasuke himself didn't think they would make any changes. If it was that easy to change, perhaps things wouldn't have come to that point...

Thinking of this, Sasuke also made a decision. If he really had the chance to travel back in time and bring back some babies, he would definitely give them a better education from an early age.

At least, the traditional education of the Uchiha clan is not feasible, and part of the character must be corrected.

"When are you going to transplant the cells and Itachi's eyes?" Tsunade asked.

"I hope it's as soon as possible." Sasuke said seriously.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Tsunade looked at Sasuke, then stood up and said, "Well, come with me. I'll take you for a check-up first. If there's nothing wrong with your body, I'll complete the operation in the next two days."

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade." Sasuke thanked her sincerely and followed Tsunade.

Shizune also smiled. She actually knew this result from the beginning. After all, Lady Tsunade was just that kind of person.

Moreover, Shizune was also happy for Sasuke. After all, Sasuke was Kakashi's apprentice, and she also wanted to see Sasuke become stronger.

Thinking this, Shizune also followed. As Tsunade's assistant, how could she not follow?

…………

Two days later, Sasuke's transplant surgery was over and the operation was successful. However, Sasuke was not honest. He did not follow the doctor's advice to rest in the hospital, but sneaked out by himself.

So, Tsunade also came to the Hokage's office at this time and complained to Xia Li.

"Sasuke is a restless kid. He left the hospital without permission even though his eyes were still recovering. He seemed to be going to practice."

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded, and roughly guessed that Sasuke might have gone to Ryuchi Cave to learn magic.

"Don't you care about Sasuke? After all, you agreed first." Tsunade asked with a blank look at Xia Li.

"Nothing will happen to him." Xia Li said, "So you should trust Sasuke too."

Tsunade nodded. It was not that she did not trust Sasuke, but as a doctor, she could not bear to see her patients ruining their bodies.

Tsunade thought about it and couldn't help asking, "I don't know why you are all so obsessed with becoming stronger."

"Because I don't want to regret it, at least that's how I feel." Xia Li said with a smile, thinking back to everything he had done.

It can be said that he has changed everything that he disliked in the original work, and this is the advantage of him becoming stronger. There are many things he can do as he pleases without having to consider other people's opinions.

Tsunade also looked at Xia Li when she heard this. She didn't quite understand what Xia Li meant by regret, but Xia Li had no intention of explaining even when he died.

Even when Tsunade asked further, Xia Li just smiled and stopped talking, leaving Tsunade helplessly.

And Xia Li looked at Tsunade's back. It was impossible for him to say that Jiraiya was originally going to die, but did not die because of him, right?

Saying this would only bring more doubts, and Xia Li couldn't explain the reason.

Of course, there are more than one reason to become stronger.
