Naruto: I was reborn as Uchiha Sasuke

Chapter 12 Return and Trip to Kyoto

On January 64th of the 1th year of Konoha, on this cold and slightly mysterious day, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto, a group of four, successfully completed their arduous mission in the Land of Waves and embarked on the long journey back to Konoha Village.

On the way, Sasuke looked serious, his hands clenched tightly, thinking to himself: "I must convince Kakashi to let me go to Kyoto." So he applied to Kakashi, hoping to go to Kyoto and stay for a day, because he needed to discuss some important matters about Genmi-sai with Qing in person. Kakashi frowned slightly, touched his chin lightly, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I wonder what urgent matter Sasuke has." Then he fell into deep thought. After repeated consideration, he finally agreed to Sasuke's request.

The group arrived in Kyoto smoothly. Naruto opened his eyes wide and his mouth opened wide, looking at the bustling and noisy scene in front of him. His face was full of shock, and he kept sighing in his heart: "This place is so lively and bustling!" Sakura was also deeply attracted by the liveliness and prosperity of Kyoto. Her eyes wandered around, full of curiosity and surprise, thinking to herself: "This place is completely different from Konoha Village." As for Sasuke and Kakashi, they witness the rapid changes in Kyoto every year. Today's Kyoto, with high-rise buildings standing like a forest and traffic jams, has the magnificent prototype of a modern city.

After arriving in Kyoto, Sasuke arranged a comfortable hotel in an orderly manner, and asked Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi to wait patiently in the room. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and silently said in his heart: "I hope everything goes well." Notify Zabuza and Haku to use the transformation technique to follow him to the designated location. Sasuke walked into the door first, and then waved to the guard to let the two of them in. In the secret room, they finally saw Qing.

Sasuke detailed his bold speculation that the two generations of Mizukage of the Mist Village were controlled by someone to implement the blood mist policy. During the narration, he gestured with his hands constantly, vividly describing the situation. He also expressed his desire to keep Zabuza and Haku, emphasizing that this decision would have many immeasurable benefits for everyone's future development. His heart was full of expectations: "Can Qing agree with my idea?"

After hearing this, Qing couldn't help but gasp and sighed, "It's hard to imagine that in this vast ninja world, there is someone who is so powerful that he can control the Kage-level characters in the palm of his hand. It is estimated that this person's strength is at least as unfathomable as that of Demigod Hanzo." After saying that, he frowned, folded his hands across his chest, and thought repeatedly in his heart, "The conspiracy behind this is definitely not simple." He fell into a long contemplation.

After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes firm and decisive, and said straightforwardly: "In this case, Zabuza and Haku, I sincerely invite you to enter the Land of Fire." As he spoke, he opened his arms, thinking: "This may add powerful support to the Land of Fire." "I solemnly promise you that I will give you a huge fortune that is rich beyond imagination. At the same time, I will also do my best to assist Mr. Zabuza to fulfill your great wish of saving the Mist Village."

However, Qing did not stop there. He continued, "However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict, I hope Mr. Zabuza can temporarily bear with it. Wear a mask to hide your true identity, and do not use your iconic ninja sword for the time being. Wait for about five years. When the Fire Country is strong enough to cope with pressure from all sides, we can use our powerful national strength to pardon Mr. Zabuza and officially invite you to the Fire Country so that you don't have to worry about anything."

After Zabuza heard this, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes. He remained silent, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and quickly thought about the conditions proposed by Qing in his mind. He was very entangled in his heart: "This is an extremely difficult decision." Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the whole secret room fell into a suffocating silence. After a long time, Zabuza pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, I agree." He thought to himself: "For the sake of the Mist Village, I can only make a desperate move like this."

Qing said: "Well, no problem, Mr. Zabuza, you can go down first."

Zabuza replied: "I hope that I won't attack the Mist Ninja during this period, sir." He was worried: "My hometown must not be in trouble."

He looked at Zabuza with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said, "You miss your hometown and don't want to attack it. This is a noble act of loyalty. Mr. Zabuza, I promise you."

Qingbian and Sasuke started a private in-depth conversation. After a few pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually became serious, and then they got straight to the point. Sasuke looked serious, with deep worry in his eyes, and said solemnly: "Qing, I have something to say about Konoha's joint Chunin Exam this year." He took two steps forward as he spoke, "I strongly recommend that you do not go to visit. In the past, Konoha's Chunin Exams were often held in cooperation with ninja villages from relatively weaker small countries. However, the situation this year is very different. This time, it was the Sand Village that took the initiative to request to participate. Under this seemingly ordinary appearance, I dare to assert that there must be a huge conspiracy of the Sand Village that cannot be revealed."

Qing's face became serious when he heard this. He frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a moment, he responded: "Your opinion is not unreasonable. I will consider it carefully. However, if we finally decide to participate, we will definitely make comprehensive and detailed personnel protection measures to ensure that there are no mistakes." He thought to himself: "Sasuke is a very thoughtful kid."

Then, Sasuke was silent for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, and then privately asked about the specific situation of the laboratory and the arsenal. He sighed softly, shook his head, and replied: "In the laboratory, the research on the chakra cannon is progressing slowly and is still progressing with difficulty. The results achieved so far are not very significant. However, in terms of ninja tools and detonating tags, the situation is more optimistic. Compared with before, the goal of greatly reducing costs has been achieved, and the quality has been significantly improved." He felt a little helpless: "The research on the chakra cannon is still not going smoothly."

He slightly turned his body and asked with concern, "Sasuke, what are your long-term plans for the future? What is your current level of strength?"

Sasuke frowned slightly, his eyes revealing determination and a little helplessness, and he said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind to find the right time to leave Konoha. It is too comfortable there, and it is not very helpful for me to improve my strength. Moreover, the top leaders of Konoha will not teach me sincerely and carefully." He clenched his fists, "Based on my current situation, my strength is probably stronger than that of an ordinary Chunin, but I am extremely lacking in life-and-death duels and fighting experiences, which seriously restricts my growth."

After listening to it, he nodded gently and said, "In this relatively peaceful era, your strength has been significantly improved, which is already quite good. Don't worry, the Land of Fire will never agree with Konoha's decision to arrest you. However, in my opinion, you should hand over your shares in Konoha in advance, so as to avoid possible unexpected situations." I thought to myself, "This child has his own clear ideas, and I have to support him with all my strength."

Sasuke's eyes flickered, and he replied, "Actually, that's exactly why I came to you this time."

With a slight smile, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter properly and Konoha will not find any fault with it."

At this time, Sasuke seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, how about we have dinner together tonight? After all, I have to leave tomorrow." He was looking forward to it, "I hope Qing can be free."

Qing replied with a hint of regret: "Sasuke, if you had told me in advance, I would definitely attend. But tonight, I do have something important that I can't shirk, so I can only attend next time. Also, Sasuke, don't let hatred cloud your heart. After all, you are still so young, and you still have a long way to go in the future."

Sasuke responded solemnly: "I understand what you mean. I will be calm when it comes to revenge. Well, I'll take my leave now." After that, Sasuke turned and strode away, thinking to himself: "I must achieve my goal and I will not give up until I achieve it."

On January 64, 1th year of Konoha, the morning sun generously shone on the earth. Sasuke and others faced the warm light of the rising sun and moved forward firmly in the direction of Konoha Village.
