Chapter 45 Sasuke
"Rasengan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was handling official business in the office, looked at the little disciple in front of him in surprise.

"Yes."

"I want to give the Rasengan to Naruto."

Sakura nodded.

"What's the reason?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reject Sakura's proposal, but he did not agree to it either.

"I'm not Naruto's babysitter. I can't always be with him."

"He needs the means to protect himself."

Sakura's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen raise his eyebrows slightly and sigh in his heart.

His plan to bring Sakura and Naruto together is probably a failure...

"The Rasengan is fine, so why should Kakashi teach Sasuke Raikiri?"

Sakura's mouth twitched as she listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

This old man must have just been peeping again!
Then before she came, he pretended to handle official business!

"Sasuke's situation, old man, are you really not aware of it?"

Sakura said helplessly.

"If Sasuke was just an ordinary genin, the old tricks used by the village would work."

"But Sasuke he is the last Uchiha."

"Old man, you don't want the last Uchiha in the village to be kidnapped, do you?"

Sakura sat on the couch next to her and poured herself a glass of water.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment after hearing this. As the Hokage, his vision should at least be bigger than Kakashi's current one.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refute Sakura's words, but frowned and said:
"You mean try your best to train Sasuke?"

Sakura stretched out a finger and shook it at Sarutobi Hiruzen, then said seriously:

"It's not about trying your best, it's about giving Sasuke hope for revenge."

"If you just carry out the so-called mission blindly."

“When there is no hope, put yourself in their shoes.”

"If you were Sasuke, what would you choose?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, then slowly stood up and walked out of the Hokage's office under Sakura's puzzled gaze.

Not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned again, but with an extra scroll in his hand.

"have a look."

"The truth about the Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen placed the scroll in Sakura's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't want to let Sakura get exposed to these things, but the child was too smart. If she didn't know the truth, she would probably make the wrong choice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has chosen Sakura as his successor, so Sakura must be made to understand the truth.

Sakura's expression froze when she heard this, and she slowly opened the scroll...

Time passed by minute by minute, Sakura sighed and gently closed the scroll.

Compared to the few scenes in the original book.

This document clearly records everything.

The conflict between Uchiha and Konoha, and everything about the night when Uchiha Itachi exterminated the clan.

From an eighty-year-old man to a one-month-old baby.

Not a single one was spared.

"So Sakura, is your choice still to train Sasuke?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and looked at the disciple in front of him in silence.

Sakura frowned at the smell of smoke, then said with a clear look:

"Yes."

She probably guessed what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking. As long as Uchiha Sasuke stayed in Konoha peacefully, Uchiha Itachi could also stay outside peacefully.

As for what happened to Uchiha Sasuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't need to worry so much.

As long as he was alive and healthy in Konoha, that was enough.

"Give me a reason that convinces me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and frowned as he looked at Sakura in front of him.

"Put yourself in Sasuke's shoes and put yourself in his shoes. I'll go crazy if you keep treating me so lukewarmly."

"Besides, the Sharingan is originally like this."

"Whatever happens, it's up to you, old man, to clean up the mess yourself."

"Or I'll clean up your mess for you, old man."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked at Sakura in front of him, and said in a calm tone:

"Aren't you afraid that he will turn his spearhead against Konoha?"

Sakura drank the warm tea in front of her and said:

"So this is what we should do, we need to choose the path for him."

"We help him grow, help him get revenge, and help him restore the glory of the Uchiha clan."

"In the end, he will stay peacefully in Konoha, which has helped him all his life."

"And the Uchiha clan will disappear into the long river of history along with the reputation of that thousand-year-old clan."

The light blue smoke that Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled filled the office. He spoke hesitantly:
"That Uchiha Itachi..."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his words, he heard the girl in front of him speak softly. That pair of emerald eyes suddenly made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little cold.

"Old man, don't you think this is not Uchiha Itachi's own choice?"

"He committed such a serious crime, and dying at Sasuke's hands is his only relief..."

-

When Sakura returned to the river with a large bag of water balls, Naruto and Sasuke were already practicing treading water.

After climbing the tree, the two of them managed to stand up on the water with some bumps and bruises.

"Sakura!"

"look!"

"How awesome am I?"

Naruto looked at Sakura waving her hands excitedly, and then he heard a 'splash' and the whole person fell directly into the water.

"idiot."

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was soaked to the skin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sakura glanced at Sasuke calmly.

She didn't finish her words to Sandai.

After Uchiha Itachi dies, she will personally put Shimura Danzo in front of Sasuke and let him do whatever he wants.

Only by telling Sasuke the truth can everything be solved.

With a little guidance, Sasuke would understand himself.

Anyway, it's all the fault of Weasel and Guoying.

"By the way, Sakura..."

Sasuke stepped on the water and looked at Sakura, his face a little unnatural with a blush on it, and said:

"Thank you……"

Kakashi had already told him that he was going to teach Sasuke Raikiri.

He also explained that he decided to teach with the help of Sakura.

What Sakura said was true. Even if Kakashi didn't teach her, she could still learn the method of practicing Raikiri from the Third Hokage, she just practiced it a little slower.

"It's okay, we're partners, right?"

Sakura chuckled in response to Sasuke.

Looking at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, Sasuke couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, his feelings towards Sakura are complicated.

Because he had always considered Sakura his rival ever since the girl pushed him out of first place in the Ninja Academy when he was six years old.

I have been secretly trying to surpass her...

Then she skipped a grade, and he was exterminated...

He found her and tried to defeat her, but was easily crushed.

Time passed little by little, and Sasuke always wanted to defeat Sakura, the first goal he set for himself.

But I didn’t expect that I would be assigned to the same class as my opponent (as I thought).

This made him even more secretly vow to defeat her.

But today, Sakura's sudden kindness caught him off guard...
