Ch 81 : Deepnight talk

[ Ding!!! Congratulations, you've gained another disciple with an S-Rank or higher potential. Reward: Gacha card x5]

A notification prompt appeared in Sanada's eyes.

Just now, he had finally cleared up the matter regarding Karin's circumstances with Tsunade, and Karin was finally approved to be a Konoha people.

The reward that should have been gotten a long ago finally came, and Sanada's eyes couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

Nonetheless, he held back the urge to open the gacha card immediately. It was still in the afternoon, and he still had some training sessions with Karin, Sakura, and Sasuke.

Just like the usual, Sanada began to form clones to instruct the three disciples on by one.

Sasuke was training with the swordsmanship, Sakura with Medical Jutsu, and Karin with some Uzumaki seals that he had just got from Tsunade.

For the Uzumaki seal, Sanada was also a newbie in this. So he could only offer Karin some guidance while Karin was trying her best to learn the skill from the scroll.

Sanada's watched his three disciples training vigorously and nodded full of approval.

Both Sasuke and Sakura now had a pretty good basic, and they only needed to be polished a bit to fully reach their potential.

In fact, Sanada actually had a plan to leave Sakura with Tsunade, while Sasuke with Kakashi.

No matter what he did, Sanada's knowledge in medical ninjutsu was still far below Tsunade, and it would be wiser to just ask Tsunade to teach Sakura her medical jutsu.

In Sasuke's case, what he needed was just more battle experience. If he could push his Hinokami Kagura to max level, it wouldn't be strange if he could easily enter the Kage-level powerhouse stage.

The fact that Sakura was his disciple would never change, and her learning from Tsunade will only be the best for her.

Sanada shifted his attention from Sakura and Sasuke who kept progressing under his guidance and went toward the place where Boruto and kid Naruto was training.

" What the heck Boruto, what are you doing? He is over there!!!"

" Stop bitching!! You are the one who drags us down in this battle!"

The two were currently battling adult Sasuke, but from the looks, it didn't seem that the progress was going well.

Naruto and Boruto's personality was just too similar, and the two kept clashing with each other.

BAMMM!!!!

Naruto and Boruto hit each other as Sasuke easily avoided their strike.

It was at this time that Sasuke knew things won't gonna work this way.

He looked toward Sanada as if asking whether he should continue this for real, but Sanada just replied with a small smile and a "you can do it expression."

. . . . . .

- Later that night -

Sasuke returned with a tired expression to Sanada's home.

Just a few days with Sanada, and now he began to miss his life in the future.

He had just walked into Sanada's bedroom when he immediately slumped into the mini-bed that Sanada had prepared for him.

*Slump*

Seeing adult Sasuke like this, Sanada tried his best to hold his laugh only to face adult Sasuke's discomfort.

" What? You have never taught two naruto, right? I'll tell you right now, I would rather face Kaguya and Momoshiki at the same time..."

" Pffttttt...."

At this time, Sanada could no longer hold his laughter anymore. Never once crossed his thought that Sasuke would compare two Naruto with two Otsusukis.

Still, watching things from Sasuke's perspective, Sanada could somehow understand why he would rather face two Otsusukis than one Naruto.

At least he could just go all out to defeat them, and not hold himself back from trashing these two Narutos.

It did take a while for Sanada to eventually regain his composure.

" Sorry-sorry... It's just way too funny!"

" Hmph..."

This Sasuke, even though he had grown into an adult, his tsundere personality didn't change at all Sanada thought secretly on his mind.

Sanada was just about to continue teasing Sasuke, but Sasuke suddenly shifted the topic which made Sanada a bit surprised.

" In this timeline, he is still alive, didn't he?"

" .... "

The atmosphere immediately turned tense when Sasuke said this.

The moment Sasuke said "he", Sanada was able to realize what he meant by this "he".

The perpetrator of the Uchiha massacre and the only one that Sasuke could not forgive even until now, Danzo Shimura.

Sanada was a bit nervous as he thought that Sasuke wanted to take another revenge, but Sasuke's next words quickly relieved him a bit.

" Don't think too much. I don't have any intention to take revenge now. During my journey to atone myself, I have eventually able to realize that revenge was only futile. It did make me feel better at the moment, but then I realized that it was just momentary."

Sanada fell silent.

For the adult Sasuke to be able to say this, just what he had gone through during his journey?

A revenger who would not take revenge anymore. Such character growth was able to make even Sanada want to admire Sasuke a bit.

" Rather than that.. I was more curious about you. You, what are your goal in this world?"

" Hmm? me?"

Sanada was a bit surprised when Sasuke asked this.

He pondered for a bit before he answered.

" Isn't it easy? I just want to be the strongest, kill every Otsusuki, and prote-"

" Stop deceiving yourself... You know that deep in your heart, you didn't actually want that."

" Eh... what do you mean?"
