Chapter 931: The Ninja World Begins to Become Turbulent
"...Naruto, do you really understand the current situation?" Tsunade admired Naruto's persistence, but was also troubled. In the end, she decided to lay everything out and explain: "Do you really think that even if you find Sasuke, you can persuade him to come back?"
Tsunade's question was very sharp and hit the point completely.
After hearing this, Naruto stopped making a fuss and became quiet, which was unusual for him.
Doesn't Naruto know what Tsunade said? No! He knows it very well!
Naruto knew that whether Sasuke defected from Konoha Village or risked his body being taken away to join Orochimaru... all of this was for only one purpose, and that was revenge, revenge against his own brother, Uchiha Itachi.
It can even be said that since that night, revenge has become Sasuke's life goal.
Although during the Chunin Exam, when Sasuke saw his fellow tribesmen from the Snow Country, he realized that the Uchiha clan was not completely destroyed, which was somewhat comforting to Sasuke.
However, after learning from the Snow Country team about the attitude of the remaining Uchiha clan towards him, Sasuke was completely unprepared.
Sasuke was totally unable to accept such a result, but he could understand it, so in the end he could only vent his anger on Uchiha Itachi, and his hatred for him was naturally even greater.
This led to the subsequent defection from Konoha.
Although there were these reasons, as well as continuing to stay in Konoha, Sasuke felt that he could not continue to grow stronger faster, so he thought of going to Orochimaru who had invited him.
Although Naruto didn't understand all of this, he wasn't completely clueless either.
Naruto himself understood that even if he really found Sasuke, it would be almost impossible to get him back.
Putting aside the fact that Sasuke's purpose was revenge, the fact that he was a ninja and yet he defected from the village was enough for many people to stop him, and it was even common for some to suggest sending the Anbu to get rid of Sasuke.
That is to say, Tsunade has suppressed this matter over the years by relying on her power as Hokage, and at the same time asked people not to change Sasuke's identity to a traitor ninja, but these are the limits of what Tsunade can do, and any more would be crossing the line.
Although Naruto didn't understand or even know all this, he was not a fool. Of course he knew that Grandma Tsunade had helped him a lot, but that was all.
"…I'm sorry, mother-in-law. As expected, I just can't abandon Sasuke like this. He is my partner, so no matter what, I will bring him back!" Although he knew it, Naruto still expressed his insistence in the end.
Tsunade felt a headache looking at Naruto with a determined face, and even sighed. And this was not the most troublesome thing. The next person who appeared made this already tricky situation even more tricky.
"I'm making a request here too, Master." The person who came was none other than the last member of Team 7, Haruno Sakura.
After Sasuke defected, Haruno Sakura felt that her abilities were insufficient, so she asked Tsunade to become her apprentice. She eventually passed Tsunade's test, became her disciple, and learned a set of skills.
Seeing that even her own disciples got involved, Tsunade felt more and more headache at this moment.
While Naruto and Sakura were asking Tsunade for help, Sasuke, the protagonist in their mouths, was also busy. After successfully defeating Orochimaru during the reincarnation process, Sasuke also took action without stopping and began to look for team members that suited his taste.
Sasuke was so anxious that he didn't even pay any attention to the legacy left by Orochimaru. Didn't he understand its value? No! Sasuke knew this very well.
After all, as someone who had received three years of instruction from Orochimaru, it was for this reason that Sasuke was able to more deeply appreciate Orochimaru's attainments in various ninjutsu.
Whether it's physical skills, ninjutsu, or illusion skills, under Orochimaru's careful guidance, Sasuke has made leaps and bounds in all of them, without any shortcomings.
However, because of this, Sasuke also knows that although the various information left by Orochimaru is of extremely high value, it is not suitable for him.
Firstly, he is not a research type of person, and he doesn't know how to do research. Even if he gets the information, he can only keep it in his hands. To be honest, these things are more valuable to the major ninja villages.
Secondly, Sasuke also wanted to use these things to attract the attention of other forces. After all, as mentioned before, the large amount of information left by Orochimaru is more valuable to the major ninja villages. So after learning the news of Orochimaru's death, relying on the intelligence capabilities of the major ninja villages, they will definitely be able to figure out what happened quickly.
As for his identity as an Uchiha clan, although he is not the last member, it is still somewhat attractive to some ninja villages. But in comparison, Orochimaru's information is obviously more valuable.
This can help share some of the pressure from the major ninja villages, and Sasuke can also take the opportunity to do his own thing.
As for his teammates, it’s not that Sasuke feels lonely or has no confidence in his own abilities, but just to be on the safe side.
While studying under Orochimaru, Sasuke did not forget to collect information about Itachi, including information that he had joined an organization called "Akatsuki".
Sasuke learned that although the Akatsuki organization did not have much fame on the surface, all of its members were S-rank rebel ninjas without exception, and each of them was an extremely difficult guy.
At the same time, perhaps for the sake of supervision, members of the Akatsuki organization basically act in groups of two, and Itachi is naturally no exception.
Although he was confident in his own strength, Sasuke knew that it was impossible to deal with Itachi while also having to deal with a guy of similar strength, so he looked for suitable teammates.
This was to deal with this situation so as not to disturb the battle between himself and Itachi.
And the result was very smooth. Under Sasuke's action, Hozuki Suigetsu, who wanted to collect the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, Uzumaki Karin, who had a crush on him before, and Jūgo, who regarded him as a spiritual moment, all joined in and formed the Snake Team. Their goal was obvious, which was to kill Uchiha Itachi.
Naturally, the others had their objections to this. After all, Sasuke had already told them his goals before joining.
With the establishment of the Snake Team, it served as a fuse to ignite the ninja world that had been peaceful for three years. In addition to the various forces in the open, countless undercurrents in the dark began to become turbulent at this moment.
