Chapter 40: Old Friend from Sand Village  

"What if I say no? What can you do to me?" Sasuke said, not taking Black Rose seriously at all.

The smile on Black Rose's face disappeared, replaced by a sinister look. But in Sasuke's eyes, the girl looked pretty good when she changed her expression.

"Whoever dares to make trouble here, I will dig out his eyes with a kunai." Black Rose walked up to Sasuke, looking at him coldly. Sasuke didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but this woman was really interesting.

Want to use a kunai to intercept your Mangekyō Sharingan? You think your kunai was blessed by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Boss lady, it seems that you are very confident in yourself! How about it? Do you want to make a bet with me?" Sasuke gently smelled the fragrance of Black Rose.

"Let's go one-on-one. If you can beat me, I will take my men away immediately. If you lose—"

"I promise you." Black Rose agreed before Sasuke finished talking about the price of losing. Sasuke should not know what she was thinking. He was another guy who wanted to cheat. But it would be strange if you could escape from my grasp!

Black Rose looked at Sasuke with disdain. Isn't it just that his swordsmanship is a little better? Little pretty boy, let me see how I deal with him. She was very confident in her own strength. In her eyes, Sasuke was just a second-generation kid who came out to travel.

What real skills could he have? How could he compare to the two sisters who had been making a living in the desert for many years? How could they survive without some skills?

"Kimimaro," Sasuke called out Kimimaro's name, and Kimimaro immediately understood and cleared all the people around him with a bone knife to make a wide space. This brutal act scared the others, and they moved to the side in fear.

Black Rose also looked at Sasuke and his group nervously. This guy simply didn't take human life seriously.

If Sasuke knew her thoughts, he would laugh his teeth off. These people were full of blood and didn't belong to a regular ninja village. They were thugs who killed people all year round.

There were also a few people with sparse hair, almost no teeth, and eyes that looked like they had red-eye disease—they looked like cannibals.

Sasuke didn't bully the old, weak, and women. This was his principle, but when facing a strong group like ninjas, he always believed that those who obey him will prosper and those who disobey him will perish.

He didn't intend to let everyone here go from the beginning. Except for Black Rose and the woman behind her, everyone else had to die. Only dead people would not expose his whereabouts.

"Stop talking nonsense, Black Rose. I will make only one move. If you can take it, you win." Sasuke crossed his arms and looked at Black Rose calmly.

"Thunder Release: Super Large Rasengan."

The blue-black lightning charged the surroundings of the Big Ball Rasengan, and the airwaves it created frightened Black Rose.

Without any hesitation, the Rasengan, which was as big as a house, attacked Black Rose at an extremely fast speed.

With Sasuke's special trajectory prediction, a ninja of Black Rose's level could not avoid it at all. The sound of explosions continued, and the entire tavern was smashed to pieces, looking like a battlefield.

Sasuke waited quietly for half a minute and vaguely heard a woman's cough. He smiled, "It seems that you have some skills to survive my casual attack. How about it? Or ask me to let you live."

"Damn it," Black Rose spat out blood, her muscles trembling as she looked at the arrogant Sasuke.

But she knew that she had no ability to resist at all and could only rely on her sister. Sasuke seemed to see through Black Rose's mind and cut off the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Don't put all your hopes on that girl in the dark. She has been captured by my men a long time ago." Just when Black Rose was about to make a move, her sister Hata-Yua was stopped by Kimimaro.

Kimimaro has been polished in the past few years. He has just recovered from a serious illness and is now a Kage-level ninja. In addition, the abilities of the Kaguya Clan are difficult to deal with, even Sasuke finds it a bit challenging.

A little Hata-Yua, who is a jonin, can't survive a few rounds in Kimimaro's hands.

At this point, if she wants to survive, she can only admit defeat. Black Rose reluctantly surrendered to Sasuke. "A sensible woman," Sasuke said, gently stroking Black Rose's white face.

After solving the Black Rose's problem, a massacre was inevitable, and all the people in the tavern were cleared out. Sasuke watched his men clean up the battlefield.

In this way, grasping the lifeblood of Black Rose, Sasuke naturally subdued them, especially Hata-Yua. After staying in the tavern for a few days, Black Rose collected all the information about Sand Village, and Sasuke knew it was time to leave.

Sometimes Sasuke had to sigh that the skills given by the system were really powerful. It took nearly a month for Sasuke and others to find the exact location of Sand Village.

After Gaara took over the Sand Village, the style of the entire village changed drastically, and it looked prosperous. The old people who were dissatisfied with Gaara becoming the Fifth Kazekage also changed their views one after another.

For a time, the Jinchuriki who was once hated by everyone became the Kazekage who worked hard to govern the country. Even Temari and Kankuro found it incredible. Temari, wearing a veil, looked at Gaara standing on the rock wall with some heartache.

As Gaara's sister, only she knew how much effort Gaara had made for the village. He had lived in the hatred of the villagers since he was a child, and even his father only regarded him as a weapon. This boy who should have been blackened finally became a great Kage.

Yellow sand was floating in every corner of the village. Gaara didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly asked, "Sister, do you think Naruto can really get Sasuke back?"

"Impossible. Sasuke's character destined him not to stay in Konoha forever. His ambition is too big, so big that even Konoha can't accommodate it."

Gaara knew the agreement between Sasuke and Temari, and he looked forward to fighting with Sasuke again.

His progress over the years can be said to be fast. In just over two years, he has become a well-known Kage. Of course, he is still a little behind the old Kage, but Gaara is confident that he will not fall behind Sasuke.

"Sasuke will definitely come, just don't fight when the time comes," Temari smiled.

"One of you is my brother, and the other is my lover. I really don't know who to help." Temari looked at the sky with expectation. There are only two days left for the agreed time.

Sasuke, I miss you so much. You must be training hard all the time!
