Feelings are such uncertain things.
Even though Sai's words were fine, Sasuke still felt annoyed.
If Naruto and Sakura, or even Kakashi, said such things, he wouldn't mind.
But not Sai, ~especially not him.
Sasuke jumped down from the high place and stood in front of Naruto, putting an arm around his shoulder.
So fast, Sakura turned her head in surprise.
If Sasuke hadn't put his arm around him, but instead stabbed him with a sword, they might not have been able to protect Naruto.
Sai couldn't help but pause, even though they were basically the same age.
But looking at the current situation, Sasuke could probably take them all down.
Is this the difference in strength…
As expected, they couldn't attack him carelessly; they had to wait for a guaranteed opportunity.
Sai's gaze gradually darkened.
When Sasuke came down, he didn't have any bad intentions, or rather, no deadly intent. The Kusanagi Sword was still securely in its sheath.
Kakashi's foot moved slightly but he restrained himself.
"..."
Overall, Kakashi was a loyal Konoha person.
Like everyone who gives everything for the village, Kakashi would also give everything he had for the village.
But Sasuke was a bit different. Even though he knew Sasuke had gone astray and was heading towards darkness from which he might not be able to escape.
From Kakashi's point of view, no matter how he looked at it, Sasuke was acting out of revenge for Uchiha Itachi, going to the most extreme of wrongs.
Kakashi still hoped to pull him out and bring him back, clearing him of the unnecessary crime of being an S-rank missing-nin.
Except in unavoidable circumstances, Kakashi didn't want to fight his student.
He was a teacher, unlike Naruto and Sakura.
Sasuke seemed to notice Kakashi's unconscious movement, but since Kakashi didn't act, he didn't look at him much.
Sasuke put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and said casually.
"But you too, you should give it a rest."
"Don't you want to be Hokage? Instead of chasing me endlessly, you should spend your time training properly."
"Even if you see me now, you still can't say anything."
Whether it was the last time he fought Naruto using transformation, or this time when they met in person.
Sasuke could clearly feel that he had once again widened the gap between himself and Naruto.
The gap between genius and loser, Sasuke had regained that height.
"I lost last time, but I won't let you win a second time."
Even though the words sounded like some kind of obsession, Sasuke's light tone made it sound like he was just saying something ordinary.
"And, chasing after the person who is trying to capture you…"
Sasuke hid the rest of his words in a chuckle, then reached out and grabbed his Kusanagi Sword behind him.
The gleaming white blade reflected the dazzling white light of the sun.
Now, Naruto wasn't just the Nine Tails that the organization needed to capture.
He was also the trigger to unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha Itachi had told Sasuke about the requirements for unlocking it when he was training him in the use of the Sharingan.
Seeing the death of the most important person would unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Well, whether it was Uchiha Itachi or Naruto, Sasuke's nature wouldn't allow him to hurt them.
Even though he was immersed in the Akatsuki organization, he couldn't kill people freely like the others there.
These things are just threats to scare people.
Sasuke felt a little annoyed being chased all the time, and Naruto was the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, so the Akatsuki organization wanted to catch him.
But he always rushed to their door. Sasuke didn't know if Naruto really cared that much about him, or if he was just reckless.
It would be better to give him a lesson and completely break ties with him.
Sasuke thought to himself that if Naruto kept chasing him, he would eventually be targeted by other members of the Akatsuki organization, who would take the opportunity to capture the tailed beast.
"How can someone who can't even save a companion become Hokage?"
"Right? Sasuke."
Naruto pursed his lips and replied without hesitation.
Whether the Akatsuki organization captures the Jinchuriki, or he trains to become Hokage.
Whatever it was, his biggest goal now was to save Sasuke.
Not let him continue to be in Akatsuki, chasing Uchiha Itachi.
Sasuke's gaze darkened slightly. The unsheathed Kusanagi Sword paused for only a moment, then continued to rise, and he was about to stab Naruto with it.
Kakashi instantly stepped forward, grabbed Sasuke's wrist, and stopped his action.
His other hand held a kunai, aimed at Sasuke's neck.
Kakashi was unusually sensitive to things like killing intent and bloodlust.
Sasuke's attack was really going to stab him.
Even though he didn't want to fight Sasuke, it seemed that this situation was unavoidable.
Sakura couldn't help but pause. Perhaps because she had known Sasuke for so long, she instinctively thought that Sasuke wouldn't really stab him.
Sai drew the short sword behind his back.
Naruto slightly raised his eyes, then grabbed Sasuke's arm with both hands to stop his movements.
"The right way to defend, but it's useless…"
Sasuke then suddenly swung his arm, even pulling Kakashi up a little.
This kid has not only grown in ability in the past two years, but his strength has also increased a lot.
"Chidori Stream."
Naruto basically wouldn't have any real killing intent towards Sasuke, but Kakashi was different.
It's better to take it seriously.
Lightning-attribute Chakra instantly accumulated on Sasuke's body. He didn't concentrate the Chakra in any one place, but rather his whole body flashed with bright blue light.
The electricity made crackling sounds, and Sasuke directly blasted Kakashi and Naruto away, without even using the Kusanagi Sword.
"Ugh…!"
"..."
Kakashi staggered back two steps, holding his arm.
And Naruto was directly knocked away and lay on the ground.
"I didn't expect him to turn Chidori into this."
Although Kakashi's own Chakra couldn't sustain further research into Chidori.
But he didn't expect Sasuke to come up with so many variations himself.
Sai unrolled a scroll nearby, drawing a group of beasts. After the ink paintings began to move, Sakura accumulated Chakra in her hand.
She was about to ambush behind the ink paintings and deliver a punch.
Sasuke slightly raised his dark eyes and directly shattered the ink paintings with a swing of his sword. The tip of the Kusanagi Sword, covered in lightning, pointed straight at Sakura's body. Scoop.
