Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 464 Heading Towards the Jeep

Tobirama Senju pressed, "What exactly do you want, Madara...?"

"The peace we enjoy now is nothing but a false sense of peace."

Madara Uchiha covered his right eye with his hand, and his scarlet eye rippled.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju noticed the change in Madara Uchiha's eyes; they had never seen eyes like these before: "Your eyes..."

A smile played on Madara Uchiha's lips, carrying a meaningful undertone: "Hashirama, we have to thank you for this."

Hashirama Senju frowned: "What exactly is going on?"

"Let's save this answer for when we meet next time; it'll be no fun if we tell it all at once."

Madara Uchiha deliberately kept the riddle-maker in suspense, saying, "When yin and yang unite, the universe is turned upside down, and all things in the universe come into being."

Even now, Hashirama Senju desperately pleaded, "Stop, Madara, don't..."

Madara Uchiha clapped his hands together, and two coffins suddenly shot out from behind the two men, creaking open. A strong suction force from inside the doors pulled the two men straight in.

"spot……"

Hashirama Senju gripped the edge of the coffin, offering only a slight resistance before being completely absorbed into it.

The two coffins crawled and disappeared into the area as if they had never been there before.

……

Konoha, the training ground of the Uchiha clan.

"Sasuke, let's have a new training session today," Aokiji said, leaning on his cane.

Sasuke's face was filled with anticipation, yet also with confusion.

What I'm looking forward to is that Aokiji-sensei will finally have time to help me train; what's the deal with the four-wheeled iron thing in front of me; and...

"Aokiji-sensei, why are you using a cane?"

Without saying a word, Aokiji swung his cane at him.

Sasuke was dumbfounded.

With a loud bang, the person was almost knocked unconscious. After a while, he staggered to his feet and said, "It hurts! Aokiji-sensei, what are you doing?"

Aokiji put on a serious face: "From now on, I'll whip you with my cane from time to time."

"???"

"The enemy will impersonate your closest confidant to get close to you. You must remain vigilant at all times and not let your guard down for a moment."

Sasuke understood, but he still felt wronged and at least wanted to say something.

He wasn't prepared at all for that blow, and it really hurt.

Aokiji glared and raised his eyebrows: "What kind of expression is that? What kind of look is that?"

"Aokiji-sensei..."

"And what are your tears anyway? Do you think they can save the world?!"

Sasuke was taken aback: "Earth?"

"Cough cough..."

Aokiji said sternly, "There are no rehearsals in life. Every day is a live broadcast. You have to give it your all and be ready at all times."

"Yes……"

Sasuke listened attentively.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Aokiji's eyes. He nodded and walked towards the four-wheeled metal contraption, explaining, "This is called a jeep; it will be our training vehicle from now on."

When the opportunity arises in the future, Aokiji will increase production. For now, we'll just build one or two for fun.

"Training tools?"

Sasuke looked confused, not understanding how to train this four-wheeled metal lump called Jeep.

Under Sasuke's astonished gaze, Aokiji got into his car, took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and started the engine with a twist of his wrist.

Soon, the jeep started making a rattling engine sound, and then something even more amazing happened: the jeep actually started moving, and at a very fast speed.

Aokiji drove the jeep around Sasuke once and laughed, "This jeep's speed is pretty good, isn't it?"

Sasuke's eyes lit up; it was the first time he'd ever seen something like this: "Amazing!"

Aokiji placed his hand on the steering wheel and explained, "The jeep is a newly developed mode of transportation to replace walking. It's still in the experimental stage."

The jeep wasn't originally developed in the timeline, but there was a train in the Snow Country that served as a good reference point.

The Snow Country is actually in their own hands, so it was easy for Aokiji to obtain the blueprints for this kind of thing. He had his technical staff copy the work and make improvements, which is how this jeep came to be.

"But what does this have to do with my training?"

Sasuke looked at the heavy jeep and wondered, "Am I going to be dragging this thing while running?"

By concentrating chakra within their body, even a frail child can gain power greater than that of an ordinary adult.

Aokiji grinned: "That won't be so troublesome."

"?"

You've played dodgeball in school, right?

"Yes, I have.

Sasuke responded without hesitation, saying that dodgeball could train one's reaction speed without causing injury, and was highly recommended by teachers at school.

Aokiji further explained, "You can just treat the jeep like a dodgeball."

"Dodgeball, wait, Aokiji-sensei, you're not planning to run me over with this thing, are you?"

"Yes."

"..."

"Don't worry, you won't kill anyone. At worst, I'll have your Aunt Tsunade heal you."

Sasuke's lips twitched.

"Alright, I'm going to start crashing... training."

Aokiji gave a reminder and immediately stepped on the gas.

Faced with the jeep's sudden attack, Sasuke was initially flustered, but he quickly calmed down. His eyes turned red, and a tomoe appeared. With his amazing insight, he was able to see through the attack and dodge it.

"Heh heh, looks like you're getting pretty good at using the Sharingan now..."

Aokiji gave a compliment, then turned the car around, shifted gears, and accelerated.

Sasuke barely had time to react, hastily dodging and bumping into something, falling to the ground.

"Beep beep beep..."

Mud and sand flew everywhere, and the steel beast roared deafeningly.

"Wait, Aokiji-sensei..."

Sasuke's small body hadn't quite recovered from the collision; he was covered in sweat and his voice sounded pleading.

He was only an eight-year-old child, and his mental fortitude wasn't very strong.

Aokiji ignored him and continued driving the jeep recklessly.

In that critical moment, Sasuke's potential was unleashed. He dodged the attack with a shoulder roll and then took off running.

"Sasuke, don't run! Charge towards the jeep!"

Aokiji was chasing after them in his jeep, yelling at the top of his lungs.

With his assistant using both feet, what a joke! He charged towards the jeep, chasing someone with such a small frame like him, was he out of his mind?

Although Aunt Tsunade will help him heal, he doesn't want to be bedridden for a whole week because of it.

Two legs can't outrun four wheels, and the jeep quickly caught up and passed by.

At that moment, Aokiji, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other pulling out a cane, repeatedly struck Sasuke, yelling, "Damn it, what did I just say? Charge straight at the jeep!"

The training time flew by, and before we knew it, it was time for the sun to set.

"It's finally over..."

Sasuke was wrapped in bandages all over his body at this moment; Aokiji's training of him was simply too harsh.

His original physical condition wouldn't have been able to withstand such prolonged exertion, but Aokiji possessed a powerful palm technique, allowing him to recover from injuries and continue crashing into things...

"Aokiji-sensei, why do I feel like you're not training me, but torturing me?" Sasuke asked the question that struck a chord with the soul.

"How could that be?"

Aokiji crouched down, placed one hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and pointed to the setting sun with the other, saying with emotion, "You see, the setting sun symbolizes me, and you symbolize the rising sun of tomorrow."

Sasuke looked at Aokiji's very young face and felt a strange feeling inexplicable.

Even with Madara Uchiha resurrected, Aokiji wouldn't have the time to train Sasuke. This was all an act for the Black and White Zetsu, who might be lurking in the shadows.

This is just a clone; the real body is outside the village, busy with other things.
