Naruto was aware that his actions today will have drastic effects . Not only on his life but in the eyes of some , The naruto they once knew was now longer there and he was right .
Right now , both the anbu and root agents who had been keeping an eye on naruto and sasuke were rushing back to report to their masters respectively.
But naruto didnt care anymore , he was sure that he could easily overpower anyone in the current konoha ... Infact aside from the akatsuki top brass , he didnt need to fear anyone right now .
As for Orichimaru , he didnt care , infact he wanted him to act faster and take away sasuke .
He wanted sasuke to grow stronger , as he believed only sasuke who was indras reincarnation could provide him some entertainment in the future .
As for nagato , obito and madara , these three were currently far more powerful than him.
' Once i have the yang half of kurama ...ill be invincible '
' Also i need to make arrangements to steal the scroll '
' should i join ... Orichimaru and deflect ...nah ..what will happen to hinata .'
Naruto no longer cared as he returned to his appartment, as rhe sun had started to set , kumi emerged from his body and jumped at him immediately .
" Master ~ "
" Hello there my little succubus"
...
Sasuke who was given a wake up call by naruto wandered aimlessly for a while , sakura noticed sasuke and came running towards him .
" Sasuke !!! "
" Huh .. oh its you sakura "
" Huh .?.. sasuke what happened ? "
Sakura asked as she saw sasuke was somewhat disturbed and acting low .
Sasuke wanted to tell her what happened but didnt know how , where should he begin .
Sakura felt that sasuke was having trouble so she grabbed his hand pulled him along to a secluded space and find a place to sit together .
She slowly pulled him closer and pull his head to rest on her chest .
Sasuke feeling better starting talking about everything... About his childhood , about itachi , about shishui , his fathers attitude , his brothers aloofness.... His mother and finally about the uchiha massacre that took place .
Sakuras face paled when she learnt all that and tears formed in her eyes ... She remebered narutos words .
' Sasuke had everything and lost it all....'
' So that is what naruto meant ... Did he know? '
When sasuke spoke about itachi , sakura felt his pain and rage ...he was burdened by soo much hatred that sasuke didnt know what to do .
Then he recounted todays events ... Everything that had happened... To hinata , narutos determination and his strength .
Sakura felt her mind go blank as she learnt how powerful naruto had become .
Finally sasuke repeated narutos words to sakura and suddenly opened his eyes in shock .
As if he understood it ...what naruto meant to say.
" Kakashi is weak ...how can he train me to kill itachi ...if even he incapable of doing that !!
I need to find someone else ...some one who is powerful !! "
' Give up you dreams and die sasuke ..'
Narutos words stabbed into his heart and sasuke made up his mind .
Sakura unaware of what was going through sasukes head , looked at him with concern and helplessness .
She realised she is weak ... extremely weak . No onky physically but also mentally , she is not fit to be a shinobi .
Sasuke who had now a direction , stood and was about to go find some answers ...but his hand was held back by sakura .
" Sasuke ..."
" let go sakura !!! "
" noo !! ..listen to me !... I know ...i know i am not strong enough to follow you or even help you . Ill always be a burden to you if i follow you "
Hearing this sasuke stopped resisting and shut up .
" Sasuke ... Can you promise me something ? "
" What ? "
" When you have your revenge ... When you are strong enough to kill itachi ... You... You will come back to me "
"... This ... "
" Sasuke , i love you ...i really do ... But i am also aware i am weak and will only delay you ... But once you have done it ... completed your goal .
Please i want you to create a new goal .
A goal to be with me ... Forever .
Can you make this promise sasuke "
Sakura asked as tear dropped from her eyes .
Sasuke was still unsure of his feelings about sakura , sure he liked her ...yes but ... He needed time .
" Ill come back to you and give you an answer then .. sakura "
Sasuke rushed away to find kakashi .
As he wanted to know ...really know more about itachi .
Hiw strong he was , and at what level will he need to be to even be able to compete with him .
...
Meanwhile , both hiruzen and danzo were currently shouting at each other after recieving the reports from their subordinates .
Danzo radical as ever was pushing to get naruto under control and investigate him as for how did he get soo powerful all of a sudden .
Hiruzen also wanted to know ...but he couldnt let naruto fall into danzos hand .
He knew once that happened , naruto is as good as vastly more powerful kunai .
A kunai that could potentially destroy the entire village .
But this kunai will be the property of danzo .
Hiruzen was adamant and didnt allow danzo to take any action .
" DANZO DONT FORGET !!! I AM THE HOKAGAE !! "
" SARUTOBI !!! YOU'LL REGRET THIS ! "
Danzo slamed the door with soo kuch strength that cracks appeared on it as he rushed out .
Hiruzen massaged his temples as he called for his anbus .
" Go and keep an eye on Naruto , tell me everything he does , says and interact with !!! Also find kakashi and get him to xome here this instance !!! "
As the anbu left , Sarutobi stood up and looked out the window at the skyline id konaha .
" I am getting old ..."
Suddenly his office window broke as a huge mass of white hair entered and spoke .
" Yoo Sensei !!"
" Jiraya !? ..how many times have i told you not to come through the windows !!!! "
" yeah yeah . So sensei , it seems you and danzo are still very close " jiraya teased
" You heard it ? "
" Pretty easy for a ninja of my calibre dont you think ... Anyway , naruto huh ? "
" Yeah ... Jiraya can you go and check on him ... See what is going on . I have seen that kid grow but something changed .... I am not sure what or how but Naruto is different "
" Hmm... Dont worry , sensei . I am pretty sure you old bones are still active enough ... Tell you what ill go and check on that brat tomorrow "
" Tomorrow ? ...hey hey cant you do your research later !! "
" Nope , after all i learnt it from you ! "
Jiraya jumped out and broke another window.
" '_' " " why couldnt he have jumped from the already broken window .
