Chapter 50: A New Journey

"Sass give? Did you make a mistake? ”

Naruto looked at Sasuke suspiciously.

"Wrong? Maybe. ”

Sasuke doesn't admit or deny it, after all, obeying orders is the basic code that ninjas have to follow, it's just that Sasuke is a little "presumptuous".

"Does it really matter? Sasuke-kun. ”

In Sakura's opinion, Sasuke is just forcing a smile, after all, he has lost his ninja status.

Looking at his companion's worries, Sasuke was a little amused but very relieved, after all, they really cared about him.

Sasuke only felt embarrassed because of his strong strength, so Sasuke did not stick to the identity of a Konoha ninja.

But Sakura and Naruto don't see it that way, they have no idea how powerful Sasuke is.

So after Sasuke lost his identity as a ninja, all they had was worry and concern.

After all, they have been studying in the ninja school when they are young, and the so-called ninja is probably their only pursuit at this time.

Jiraiya looked at the front of him and felt very emotional, and after pouring himself a glass, he fell into deep thought.

He had always believed that people would get to know each other, but the killing of ninjas made that day seem far away.

Chasing half his life in vain, what he saw and heard made him more and more bored with the ninja he longed for when he was young.

However, there is no need to expose the troubles of adults to children, after all, they are still young...

The atmosphere of the party was so oppressive that it ended in a hurry.

After sending Sakura back, Sasuke went home alone.

"Hey, little one."

When Sasuke turned his head, he realized that it was Jirai who was also calling out to him.

"What's the matter?"

Jiraiya's expression is a little less cynical, but he can't have much prejudice, but he speaks more seriously.

"You've learned immortal arts, haven't you?"

Jiraiya's question made Sasuke very curious, after all, Jiraiya was the first person to see his reality.

"Yes, but how do you..."

Sasuke was stunned suddenly, and then after careful understanding, he found that the other party had some traces of cultivating immortal arts.

"I see."

Seeing this, Zilai was very surprised.

"Did you find out? It's a terrifying talent, yes, I've also studied the fur of immortal arts, so I'm a little more sensitive to natural abilities. ”

Sasuke looked like he had come to his senses, and then he remembered the psychic beast that Jiraiya had summoned.

"Is it the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain? It's amazing, you can actually break through the Labyrinth Mountain. ”

Sasuke, who has been outside the ninja world, naturally knows the gold content of the Labyrinth Mountain, so he sincerely admires it.

"Well, almost."

How could it be possible to admit that he was Miaomu Mountain, who happened to be a reverse psychic?

After diverging from this topic, Jilai also asked seriously.

"What makes you pursue great power?"

"Live."

As with his previous answers, Sasuke is still trying to survive, and that purpose will not change, at least for now.

“…”

After hearing the answer, although it was different from what I had guessed in my heart, it didn't have much to do with it.

"I'm sorry to say that, but I have to rip off this face, if, I mean, one day, you want to hurt Konoha, then I will stop you at any cost."

After vaguely learning the truth about the Uchiha's extermination, Jiraiya no longer has a good face for those who are old and immortal.

But after all, he is still Konoha's Three Ninja Crazy Oni Jiraiya.

"Oh!"

After saying something, there were many things that he didn't say, and Sasuke turned around and left, leaving Jiraiya alone in the light.

……

The next morning, after waking up, Sasuke split into a shadow clone.

"From now on, you will be the Uchiha Sasuke of Konoha."

The shadow clones are condensed by the chakra, so there will always be a day when they will dissipate.

However, Sasuke, who is proficient in the immortal mode, can allow the shadow clone to absorb natural energy all the time to maintain its form, so that as long as he slips out quietly, the order given by Sarutobi yesterday will be empty words.

After the shadow clone picked up his schoolbag and went to the school, Sasuke used his special powers to melt himself into the earth.

Compared to changing the environment, Sasuke consumes much less to integrate into the environment, and unlike Tu Dun, Sasuke's integration is not flawed at all.

Speaking of which, some of Sasuke's abilities are similar to Hakuju's mayfly technique, but Sasuke doesn't know this.

The memories that kept flashing back didn't tell him anything about the setting.

"Then before leaving, you have to go to the roots."

According to Orochimaru's memories, Sasuke quickly found the location of the root headquarters.

The Root Enchantment can detect any chakra invasions, and even a Ninja at the Root will trigger an enchantment alarm if they don't enter in a specific way.

However, in the state of merging with the earth, even the enchantment cannot detect Sasuke's movements.

But even so, if he appears inside the root after breaking away from the earth, Sasuke will be discovered by the enchantment in an instant, so there is very little time left for him.

"According to Orochimaru's memory, it should be here."

The intercolumnar cells in the roots are kept in the most hidden laboratory, but Orochimaru is the one who used to run the intercolumnar experiments after all, so according to his memory, Sasuke quickly found the location of the intercolumnar cells.

"Look at the number is much less than in Orochimaru's memory, is it transferred?"

But how much doesn't matter to Sasuke, it's important to have it.

After breaking away from the earth, Sasuke quickly felt a sense of peeping.

"Time is running out."

At the same time, the alarm of the root suddenly sounded, and Sasuke continued to unhurriedly seal the container of the cells between the columns into the scroll.

"That's it, goodbye then."

Once the main target was reached, Sasuke reintegrated into the earth and moved towards the outside of Konoha.

After a while, the door of the laboratory was kicked open, and Tuan Zang walked in inexplicably.

"Check what just happened here."

As soon as Danzo gave the order, all the ninjas at the root moved.

"My lord, there are a few missing parts of the intercolumnar cells here."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Tuan Zang's eyes immediately narrowed.

The ninjas on the side were all solemn, because they knew that this was a sign of the anger of Danzo-sama.

"Did Sasuke Uchiha do anything unusual?"

Obviously, in Danzang's opinion, the most suspicious is Sasuke, after all, in the village today, only Sasuke, who has peeked into Orochimaru's memory, knows the news of the interpillar cells, and has the motivation to do such a thing.

The intercolumnar cells represent a powerful force, and it just so happens that Uchiha's writing wheel eye can suppress the side effects of the intercolumnar cells, so it is inevitable that Danzou will think so.

"My lord, Uchiha Sasuke went to study at the ninja school normally today, and there was no movement."

Even though his subordinates said so, Danzang couldn't help but frown.

"Are you sure it's not a shadow clone?"

And in this regard, the root ninja explained.

"After Sasuke Uchiha left, we carefully checked and determined that there was no one."

The implication is that it won't be a shadow clone, and Danzou naturally knows the methods of the root ninja, so he has to exclude Sasuke from his list of suspicions.

It's just that what they never imagined was that the ninja who was hidden in the dark was looked at by Sasuke, and there was no secret at all.

What's more, Sasuke's ability to blend into the earth has left him invisible and completely undetectable.

And just when Danzo and the others were greatly distressed, Sasuke had already left Konoha Village and embarked on a journey outside the ninja world.

Unlike last time, Sasuke was not ready to go full throttle, but walked through it step by step at a normal speed, after all, walking on the earth is also a practice.

So, after putting on his cloak and hat, Sasuke's trip began again after a short break.
