Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

That incredibly powerful eye force made both Zetsu and Kisame Hoshigaki sense an astonishingly terrifying aura!

"Well, then it is indeed..."

"Mangekyo Sharingan?!"

This moment.

Sasuke officially awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He seemed completely unconcerned, his pupils flashing briefly before returning to normal as he brushed past Zetsu and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Zetsu and Kisame Hoshigaki exchanged a glance.

He awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and combined it with his own Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique...

How much stronger will Uchiha Sasuke become now?!

Is it possible to truly stand against Naruto Uzumaki?!

It's truly something to look forward to, let's wait and see...

"It's a pity we can't see that good show now..."

Jue's figure vanished instantly beneath the earth.

Kisame Hoshigaki remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and followed the cave in the underground base into the distance.

……

Uchiha Sasuke finally saw the sunlight.

After days in darkness, the sunlight was now almost unbearable for him.

He slightly raised his hand to shield his eyes, and that most familiar face appeared in his vision...

Uzumaki Naruto.

Chapter 196 Confrontation with Hiruzen Sarutobi! Sasuke's Path of Revenge! Requesting monthly votes!!!

"Naruto……"

Sasuke stepped out of the dark underground base and, facing the bright sunlight, saw the familiar face of Naruto.

Although I had made up my mind, I couldn't help but feel a little subconsciously wavering at this moment.

He lowered his head slightly.

Naruto looked at Sasuke as he emerged from the darkness, and his expression instantly changed, filled with joy.

"Sasuke!"

"Are you...are you alright?!"

Sasuke shook his head in silence.

Kakashi and Hinata exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled, but still rushed forward together.

"Sasuke, what happened?"

"Yes, Sasuke, what about the Akatsuki members?"

Sasuke had already prepared an excuse.

"That masked man, who called himself Uchiha Madara, originally wanted to recruit me into the Akatsuki organization, but I refused..."

"After that, he seemed to have something more important to do and left."

"After I woke up, I defeated those who stayed behind to guard me, so..."

Kakashi and Hinata both seemed a bit strange.

Naruto didn't think much of it and just breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, Sasuke! I thought..."

"It's alright now!"

Kakashi pressed further, "So there's no one else in this base?"

Sasuke shook his head.

Kakashi said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, it's not that I don't trust you, but searching for the Akatsuki's base is the Hokage's order, and I must carry it out to the end."

Sasuke didn't refuse: "I understand."

So, led by Kakashi, the group still entered the base and searched it carefully.

However, no one was actually seen.

"Hinata, how are you?"

"I checked with my Byakugan, and there is indeed no one else here. However, this underground base is probably more complicated than I imagined. It may be connected to other places, but it has now collapsed and blocked."

Kakashi said, "So, even if they were here before, they might have already moved?"

"good."

Kakashi sighed, "Looks like we're indeed a step too late..."

Naruto shook his head: "It's good that Sasuke is alright. As for those Akatsuki members, we'll deal with them sooner or later!"

Hinata also found it a bit strange, but she did not refute Naruto.

"Naruto-kun is right."

"What to do now?"

Kakashi said, "Kumakushi has also sent people, and they should be arriving soon. It would be better if we stayed here for the time being to give them an explanation."

"Ah."

Kakashi looked at the three of them and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Class 7, it's so hard to get together again..."

Naruto laughed and said, "Yes, Kakashi-sensei!"

"We'll definitely have a proper celebration when we get back!"

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, a flicker in his eyes.

Naruto was too confident in himself.

He could sense that even Kakashi-sensei and Hinata had some doubts about his story, but Naruto believed him completely.

The four of them chatted idly outside the base.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata each recounted their training at the three sacred lands.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime scene.

Even Kakashi couldn't help but be curious.

"Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest..."

"I never imagined that the three of you would each receive the inheritance of these three holy lands..."

"Perhaps this is fate."

Hinata sighed, "After Naruto returned from Mount Myōboku, he defeated Pain and saved the entire village; Sasuke also successfully killed Itachi Uchiha and avenged all his clansmen..."

"Only I, despite training under the Slug Sage in Shikkotsu Forest, haven't been able to play a significant role..."

Kakashi smiled and said, "Don't say that about Hinata."

“I know that after you returned to the village, you summoned the slug’s split offspring and protected and healed many people.”

"And he also contributed a lot in the battle against Payne."

"Although your contributions have been overshadowed by Naruto's brilliance, they will not be forgotten."

Hinata blushed slightly, her eyes gleaming.

"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei..."

Naruto propped himself up with his hands, half-lying on the desolate grass, looking up at the sun in the sky.

"What beautiful weather..."

"Such beautiful weather, being able to chat with everyone is simply the happiest thing..."

Hinata gazed at him affectionately, brushed her long hair behind her ear, and nodded gently.

Sasuke did not speak.

He lowered his head, gazing at the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, swaying gently in the breeze.

If he continues his revenge, the happiness and joy of his daily life will once again vanish.

Own……

Do we really have to give up all of this?

If his past experiences had made him feel like he had died once, then...

So now, the revenge against the Konoha leadership will probably be a second one.

The first time was with my parents and relatives.

The second is teachers, friends, and companions.

Jiraiya-sensei, who poured his heart and soul into his work...

He taught the secrets of the Sharingan and the Lightning Blade, and he favored his Kakashi-sensei...

Hinata, who repeatedly comforted him, fought alongside him, and even saved his life...

And of course…

Naruto.

Do we really have to abandon all of this?

Sasuke gripped the wild grass on the ground tightly and then crushed it all into powder.

Hinata noticed this, but didn't say anything.

As a result, Team 7 enjoyed a rare reunion and tranquility on the outskirts of Akatsuki's base.

until--

The Cloud Village troops were closing in.

Kakashi stood up from his lazy, reclining position.

"coming……"

The three students from Class 7 also stood up and looked into the distance.

Kakashi said, "Let me do it."

He stepped forward first and waved to the Fourth Raikage, who was charging towards him in a rage.

Then, they began to explain the whole story.

The Fourth Raikage was furious when he heard that he was a step too late.

"Damn it, Akatsuki!"

"I must avenge Yukito and Bi personally!"

next moment--

A scene that left everyone speechless unfolded...

"Hey! Big brother! Long time no see!"

"You bastard! You idiot!"

Everyone turned around and saw a burly man who could sing, dance, and rap walking over.

The Fourth Raikage's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"You...you are..."

"Compare?!"
