chapter-50

[Kurama: 'Hey kid, he was the guy who released me and put me in genjutsu to attack your village 12 years ago.']

SASUKE: 'I know, his name is Obito Uchiha, he was student of 4th Hokage and Kakashi's teammate. I don't know if you remember him since you were sealed inside Kushina at that time. Madara got interested in him and manipulated him into becoming his puppet. He is here to make sure that their plan of infinite tsukiyomi went smoothly. But don't worry, I am here to fuck over all their plans.'

[KURAMA: 'Whatever kid.']

With that Kurama closed his eyes and went to sleep again.

SASUKE: 'You are so lazy, since we are out of the village, do you want to go sightseeing?'

[KURAMA: 'I want to go out and feel the air and freedom.']

SASUKE: 'I would prefer if you want something that doesn't kill me.'

[KURAMA: 'I am going back to sleep, don't disturb me.']

SASUKE: 'Don't you get bored of sleeping all day?'

[KURAMA: 'Now that you mention it, I am bored, I think I want to go out and do the sightseeing myself.']

SASUKE: 'S..s..sorry Kurama, I also think sleeping is the best, nothing is better than sleeping. You should go back to sleeping, I won't disturb you anymore.'

Kurama scoffs and close his eye again while Sasuke travel back to Konoha. Few days later Sasuke reached the village and went home to have a good long sleep, this trip was very exhausting and he didn't have a good night sleep in last few days. Naruto was still out with Jiraya in search of Tsunade, so only Kushina and Karin were at his house. Since Danzo died, no root ninja were monitoring them but Sasuke killed a dozen of white zetsu and they all of them died the moment they go near Sasuke. Uchiha compound was protected by seals, so it was not possible to spy on them in there so zetsu decided to spy on Sasuke when he go out and train. But they all died, it was as if Sasuke can detect them very easily. It was Kurama who keep informing Sasuke about zetsu.

Since everyone was waiting for Hokage selection and village reconstruction, very few missions were allotted to ninja so most of them were staying inside the village keeping everything in order while reconstruction work was ongoing. Sasuke informed Kakashi and Guy about his return and Itachi's death but didn't explain anything. He transplanted Itachi's eyes to gain eternal mangekyou sharingan and after some resting resumed his training. He focus on opening fifth gate and chakra transformation in rasengan. He also copied few first Hokage's jutsu related to mokuton. Although these jutsu were locked and heavily guarded by anbu but with Sasuke's infiltration techniques, it was not very difficult to obtain them.

By time Naruto, Jiraya and Tsunade came back to the village, Sasuke manage to open fifth gate and succeeded in creating vanishing rasengan. He gone through the jutsu related to mokuton and come to a conclusion that it was impossible to reach the level of Hashirama. At best he can reach the level of Yamato, even that require years of training and hard work. The best jutsu he got this time was first Hokage's defensive jutsu 'Quintuple Rashomon'. He remember Orochimaru using it but only able to summon three gates unlike Hashirama who can summon five gates. He was still practicing it and hasn't been able to summon single gate but he was confident that he will master this jutsu. If he manage to summon five gates then with addition of Susano and nine tails mode, he will be the master of strongest defensive jutsu in the ninja history.

Sasuke's morning started with body training and taijutsu training with Rock Lee. They spar everyday and Sasuke opening fifth gate put extra pressure on Rock Lee. This lead to Rock Lee training with new fire to reach seventh gate. After that Sasuke focus on his nature transformation, he had fire and lightning attribute which he have good control over so he started to train wind nature too. He practiced mokuton in secret. He was waiting for Jiraya and Naruto to return so that he can learn senjutsu along with Naruto.

Orochimaru didn't lose his hands fighting third Hokage so he didn't go after Tsunade. Naruto and Jiraya's trip went very smoothly since neither Naruto was attacked by Itachi and Kisame nor they encounter Orochimaru.

After taking over the office, Tsunade has many things to do. First she had to declare the result of chunin exam. Many things had to be considered this time. Shikamaru shows potential to become chunin, but not only him, Naruto facing the tailed beast cannot be overlooked. Rock Lee also performed very well in facing enemy ninjas. Next candidate was Sasuke, although he was absent for most of the fight but he did come prepared with seals to suppress the tail beast. He was the only one who thought of possibility of Gaara losing control of tailed beast. He also fought fourth Hokage and third Kazekage and manage to seal third Kazekage alone.

If this was not enough, Kakashi told them that Sasuke killed Itachi. This was a shocking news for both Tsunade and Jiraya. Itachi was a S-class missing-nin and member of Akatsuki, it was advised to leaf ninja to run away and not engage him if they encounter him. He was the man who single-handedly wipe out one of the strongest clan of leaf village. They wanted the detailed report of Sasuke and Itachi's encounter but Kakashi only told them about Sasuke leaving with Itachi to some place for their fight. He didn't know anything else.

Tsunade immediately summon Sasuke. If Sasuke can take down an S-class ninja alone then promoting Sasuke directly to Jonin wasn't a problem. Sasuke was training with Rock Lee when an anbu informed him about the summon. Usually Naruto would join them to train since he was in the village but he was out for many days and missed Kushina very much so he decided to stay with her.

Sasuke went to Hokage office where four people were present. Tsunade was sitting on Hokage's chair. Shizune was standing behind her, and Jiraya was standing next to her near the window. Kakashi was Standing in front of them while giving the news of latest development of village. Sasuke enter the room, he greeted Jiraya and Kakashi and then looked at Tsunade. She looked like a girl in her early to mid twenties. He knew she was an old woman in her fifties but he had to admit she look very cute. Next his gaze went in the direction of two legendary mountains of Naruto world. These mountains come together to create the greatest cleavage Sasuke has seen in his two lives. His eyes stayed there for few seconds before he gain control of his senses. His face was flushed and now he understood the reason for all those nose bleed he seen in the anime. Sasuke's reaction was visible to everyone and Sasuke was embarrassed.

SASUKE: "It seems like I just hit puberty!"
