Naruto: Sasuke Reborn – No Clan Massacre! No Injustice！

"What's wrong, Suigetsu? Aren't you happy after winning the match?"

With a slight shift of her eyes, Karin glanced at Suigetsu, who walked up with a gloomy face. She couldn't understand why this guy, who had clearly won, didn't look happy at all. This didn't match his personality.

"Shikamaru Nara, I'll remember him."

"Remember what? That guy who uses the Shadow Secret Technique. He doesn't seem that powerful."

Karin lay on the stands and looked down. She saw Shikamaru still scratching his head stupidly, looking troubled as he explained something to Ino.

"That guy didn't use his full strength in this match."

"Huh?! Impossible. Does he not want to win?"

"Humph! Who knows what's going on in his head..."

"Then it must be because, from Shikamaru's perspective, this match is meaningless. Unlike in the Chunin Exams and normal missions, where ninjas must carry out and complete their missions, this match, which was specially arranged to test our strength, must be quite a hassle in that guy's eyes. He couldn't avoid it, so he only used 70% of his strength to deal with it."

Sasuke looked down at the stands from a high position. Sure enough, as the advisor to the Seventh Hokage and the future Eighth Hokage, Shikamaru's way of thinking is really thorough.

..............

"Stupid Shikamaru, you lost so easily. You didn't even teach that guy with a silly smile a lesson. You lost so completely!"

"Ino, you're so noisy. That guy named Suigetsu Hōzuki is probably from the Hōzuki clan of Kirigakure. They have a Secret Jutsu that enables them to transform their bodies into liquid. Physical attacks are ineffective against such an enemy. I probably wouldn't have won, so it's better to give up earlier."

"Shikamaru, you should at least give it a try. What if you win?"

Facing Ino's questioning, Shikamaru decided to put her off for the time being. He could only resign himself and say yes, yes, he would be more careful next time. Only then did Ino let go of Shikamaru's collar.

Just as everyone was about to start the next duel, a ninja rushed in in a hurry, with traces of blood oozing from his arm.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Tsunade, something's wrong! Just now, strange chakra invaded the Konoha barrier. They claim to be the Akatsuki Organization and specifically asked for the Nine - Tailed Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki. With just one move, they threw the outside into chaos, and many ninjas were knocked down. Please go and have a look quickly!"

"What?"

Tsunade frowned tightly. These bold - faced guys actually dared to launch an attack on Konoha. But when it came to Akatsuki, Tsunade also recalled that this was the organization that Orochimaru had once joined.

Just a few months later, Orochimaru defected and was chased by this organization for some time. Thinking of this, Tsunade shot a suspicious look at Orochimaru.

But he looked totally clueless. Instead, he looked nervous and was whispering something to Sasuke...

Should she trust this guy?

"Tsunade, the organization called Akatsuki is the one I told you about earlier. They've been capturing tailed beasts everywhere. Not long ago, they got the One - Tailed Shukaku. If they follow the order, they're here for Naruto today."

"Jiraiya, do you mean they've already captured the tailed beasts from the Second - Tailed to the Eighth - Tailed? That's impossible. Not only are their whereabouts kept absolutely secret among the major countries, but they're also extremely powerful and definitely not easy to deal with!"

With an unprecedentedly serious expression, Jiraiya stared at Tsunade and said slowly, word for word.

"Doesn't that just mean their strength is unfathomable? We have to deal with them right away."

Tsunade gently bit her lips. After thinking it over for a while, she decided to deal with the invading rivals first.

"Orochimaru, Sasuke Uchiha, let's pause this 9 vs 9 match for now."

...

"What's the situation outside now!"

"Not many of them came, but there are quite a few S - class rogue ninjas on the wanted lists of various countries."

As Tsunade rushed to the arena, she listened to the report from her subordinate.

"All the ninjas on - site go to the scene to support and try to send as much information back to the headquarters as possible."

The Konoha ninjas left quickly after receiving the order. Only Naruto paused, turned back, and said to Sasuke with a smile.

"Hurry up! Don't keep me waiting too long!"

"Yeah."

It was almost a soft grunt that you wouldn't notice without careful listening. But even so, after getting the answer he wanted, Naruto turned around and left at full speed. He knew Sasuke wouldn't just ignore this.

Suigetsu stepped forward and asked Sasuke.

"Sasuke, what should we do now? Stay here or help Konoha solve this big problem?"

"Sasuke, I know you want to help Konoha, but I have to remind you that those S - class rogue ninjas in the Akatsuki Organization are tough nuts to crack, not to mention their leader, Pain. When I was in Akatsuki before, he was an extremely terrifying guy."

"Take it easy. I know well how powerful this organization is."

Orochimaru was secretly surprised. Akatsuki always acted in secret, and the abilities of some of its members were a mystery to him. How did Sasuke know the real documents of these people?

"Listen, the purpose and what they're going to do behind the Akatsuki Organization are not simple. We're not just helping Konoha now; we're also helping ourselves. Everyone go to the battlefield and deal with the Akatsuki members with all our might."

The Sound Five Ninjas and the Taka team members scattered after hearing this. No one questioned Sasuke's words.

"Sasuke Uchiha, anyway, you still care about Konoha in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't help them like this."

"Kabuto, if you listened to me carefully just now, you wouldn't come to such a stupid conclusion. I said I'm not only helping them but also helping myself. If you have time to chat with me here, you might as well go to the battlefield and see the situation."

For two years, Kabuto had almost watched Sasuke's every move. He always thought Sasuke had ill intentions and wanted to do something bad to Orochimaru and his beliefs.

For two years, he had only practiced and guided others in their training. There were no other extra actions. Kabuto had to admit that Sasuke was now the central figure of this group.

Even Orochimaru often readily listened to Sasuke's opinions. Kabuto also admitted that at this stage, he had no other choice but to follow the orders. Otherwise, he would immediately become the target of everyone's blame.

"Got it, stop nagging. I'll go check out the battlefield right away."

There's still plenty of time anyway. Let him observe this man named Sasuke Uchiha more carefully. Whether the words he said two years ago would come true or not, let him be the witness.
