Naruto: I was reborn as Uchiha Sasuke

On the night of January 64, 1, the watery night spread quietly like ink, and the cold moonlight was like a soft veil, gently falling on the criss-crossing and winding streets and alleys of Konoha Village. Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto walked side by side slowly into the familiar and friendly gate of Konoha. The mission in the Kingdom of Waves that just ended was like a thrilling and dangerous nightmare. The faces of the four people were all filled with some fatigue that was difficult to hide, and the fatigue seemed to be deeply imprinted between their eyebrows.

Kakashi looked at the energetic students beside him, his deep eyes were full of concern and relief. He cleared his throat, folded his hands in front of his chest, and thought to himself: "These children have gone through so many hardships and have really grown a lot." The steady voice seemed particularly clear in the silent night: "Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather at the Hokage Building to report to the Third Hokage about the arduous mission in the Land of Waves. Now, the mission has ended, disband!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could react, Sasuke couldn't wait to speak: "Teacher, classmates, after going through so many twists and turns, why don't we go to Huanweizhai together to enjoy the food and relax our bodies and minds." As he spoke, he looked at everyone, his eyes full of eager anticipation. Everyone smiled at each other, their eyes full of approval, and readily agreed.

In Huanweizhai, everyone sat around a table, and exquisite delicacies were presented one after another like the gurgling of water. The room was filled with the aroma of mouth-watering food, and the warm lights made everyone's face look particularly soft and warm. At this moment, Sasuke suddenly broke the tranquility and peace. With a serious face, he leaned forward slightly and asked solemnly: "Teacher Kakashi, do you know which outstanding medical ninjas or related medical books there are in Konoha Village? This trip to the Land of Waves made me deeply realize the irreplaceable and key importance of medical ninjutsu. I would like to know some relevant information in advance so that the team can have more comprehensive protection and response strategies when performing tasks in the future."

However, before Kakashi could respond, Sakura said, "Kakashi, please give me the information!" She clenched her fists tightly, with a determined look on her face, and swore in her heart, "I know that my role in the mission to Wave Country is quite small compared to everyone else. Therefore, I am willing to move forward bravely in the direction of a medical ninja, do my best to improve myself, and contribute more and more powerful strength to the team."

Sasuke obviously didn't expect Sakura to reply so quickly. He was slightly stunned and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual calm.

Kakashi was a little embarrassed at first, after all, he had never expected that his students would be able to plan their future development direction so quickly and clearly. But soon, his signature warm smile appeared on his face again, and he gently spread his hands and said gently: "Sasuke, Sakura, I am very pleased that you have such positive and enterprising ideas." He was even more pleased in his heart: "The children have really grown up." Don't worry, I will do my best to help you. By then, I will carefully organize the information and hand it over to you, and I will also specially find experienced medical ninjas to give you detailed explanations. "

After hearing this, Sasuke nodded solemnly and continued, "Teacher Kakashi, I have already opened my Sharingan and would like to explore more deeply the ingenious use of illusions in combat. I wonder if there is a suitable teacher who can give me professional and precise guidance?"

Kakashi lowered his head slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and fell into a moment of thinking. He thought silently in his heart: Sasuke only has two types of chakra, lightning and fire, unlike himself and the third generation who have five types of chakra, so his fighting style must be different from his. So, he raised his head and said: "Yuhi Kurenai is an outstanding illusion master in our Konoha Village. I will personally invite her to assist you, Sasuke."

Sasuke quickly replied with gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Kakashi. Also, I hope to not accept any missions in the next month and a half, and devote myself to making full preparations for the upcoming Chunin Exam, because the gap between me and that person is really too huge."

Naruto looked confused at this time. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What Chunin Exam?"

Kakashi hurried to comfort the slightly agitated Sasuke, patted his shoulder, and thought helplessly in his heart: "Naruto, this kid, actually hasn't figured out the situation yet."

"Sasuke, stay calm and composed. In fact, I had originally planned for our Team 7 to participate in the Chunin Exams. Not accepting new missions during this period and focusing on training will also be of great benefit to Naruto and Sakura in taking the Chunin Exams. Okay, everyone, finish your meal and go back to rest as soon as possible."

Kakashi looked at the students in front of him and couldn't help thinking: Today's children (Sasuke and Sakura) are so mature and sensible, and have planned a clear direction for their future. Why is it that only Naruto has not made significant progress? But he changed his mind and thought that perhaps Naruto also has his own unique growth trajectory, but it has not yet been fully revealed.

The next day, the bright sunlight shone through the dense and lush leaves of Konoha Village, and scattered on the vast land in a mottled manner. Kakashi led Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, and the four of them walked into the Hokage Building with solemn expressions.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was sitting at the table, his eyes dignified and kind. Kakashi took a deep breath, his hands hanging down by his side, and reported to the Third Hokage in detail using the words he had rehearsed beforehand: "Third Hokage, regarding the mission in Wave Country, the actual situation far exceeded expectations, and the mission level was obviously lower than the huge danger faced. During the execution of the mission, Zabuza and another ninja who was suspected to be a Mist Ninja appeared. They disappeared midway and evacuated the battle."

After listening to this, the Third Hokage frowned slightly and said: "Since the mission level has been seriously raised, you should have come back to cancel the mission. However, fortunately everyone can return safely, so I will not pursue the responsibility this time. After comprehensive consideration, I classify this mission as a B-level mission." After saying this, the Third Hokage prepared to continue dealing with busy official duties.

However, Kakashi immediately said: "Sir, I apply to Team 7 to take part in the Chunin Exam." As he said that, he took a firm step forward.

The Third Hokage raised his head, staring at Kakashi with questioning eyes, and asked in a serious tone: "Kakashi, are you sure?"

Kakashi answered without hesitation: "Third-generation master, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have made up their minds, and after this period of training and tempering, they themselves have the strength of the Chunin level."

The Third Hokage's eyes slowly swept over the three children, and he instantly understood the whole story. He guessed in his heart that this was probably proposed by Sasuke. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I agree with your decision, Kakashi. Don't accept any missions for the next month or so, and concentrate on preparing for the battle."

After hearing the words of the Third Hokage, Kakashi and others responded in unison: "Yes!" and then left the Hokage Building in an orderly manner.
