Chapter 373: Sasuke’s Current Situation

Originally, the reason why Uchiha Qiushan took over this mission from Kakashi was that he wanted to see who Kado would find after he captured the demon Zabuza and Haku. Originally, there were not many ninjas who could make a name for themselves in the ninja world.

That’s why Uchiha Qiushan wanted to go and take a look, wondering if there would be any unexpected surprises.

However, when Naruto mustered up the courage to come to him to complain, Uchiha Qiushan was also a little troubled. After all, no matter what, this mission was also an important starting point for Naruto and his friends to grow.

Uchiha Qiushan looked at Naruto next to him, then looked at Sasuke and Karin who had gloomy expressions, and when he looked over, Karin lowered her head unnaturally.

No matter what, the people in Team 7, whether it is Naruto, Sasuke, or Karin, are all closely related to him, and it is not easy for Uchiha Qiushan to forcibly take away this mission.

Kakashi also understood the relationship between Uchiha Qiushan and these kids in his class, so he stopped talking and waited for Lord Qiushan’s decision.

Uchiha Qiushan rubbed his head helplessly and compromised:

“Okay, okay, let’s consider this mission as a joint mission between Team 7 and Team 10. The mission level is A-level, and the mission content is changed from escorting Dazna back to Wave Country to eliminating all of Cardo’s forces in Wave Country until Dazna completes the construction of the bridge.

I will not take any action in this mission. I will just act as an ordinary jonin teacher. It just so happens that I should take a vacation, so I can go to the island for a trip.”

When Naruto heard what Uncle Qiushan said, his eyes immediately burst into unspeakable joy. He ran directly to Sasuke and hugged him, cheering and shouting: “Arrogant Sasuke, did you hear that? Uncle gave the mission to us, we can leave the village, Yeah!!”

Ever since his brother defected, Sasuke has been indifferent to everything around him, which is why Naruto calls him “Sasuke the Brat”.

However, when Naruto hugged him and cheered, Sasuke’s originally cold expression melted a little, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Next to them, Karin, who was watching them interacting, also secretly glanced at Qiu Shanjun at this time, as if she was afraid of being discovered. After taking a look, she immediately looked away as if she was scalded.

Anyone who has a close relationship with Uchiha Qiushan knows that since Uchiha Qiushan himself possesses space-time ninjutsu, he has a very hidden place outside, and he will bring any woman who has a close relationship with him to live there.

That place was very secretive. No one knew where it was except him and his woman. Moreover, it had never been discovered.

Karin knew clearly that her mother separated from her and moved out of Konoha when she became a ninja and was able to support herself, and only came back to see her occasionally.

Karin, who was very clear about the relationship between her mother and Uncle Ooyama, of course knew where her mother Uzumaki Karin had moved to. Coupled with some little thoughts in her mind, she had a strange feeling when she looked at Uncle Ooyama.

Uchiha Qiushan didn’t care about Karin’s little thoughts. In the end, what was his would never escape.

Due to Naruto’s intervention this time, the mission was downgraded from S-level to A-level, which made Dazna very happy. Finally, it was agreed that this mission would be completed jointly by Team 7 and Team 10, with Kakashi as the team leader, and Uchiha Ooyama would only be an instructor and would not take any part in this mission.

Of course, if the situation develops to the point where Uchiha Qiushan needs to take action, then this mission will be automatically upgraded to an S-level mission.

Since it was the first time for all the kids to travel far away, they needed to prepare some things. Furthermore, Shikamaru and the others from Team 10 didn’t know their mission yet and needed time to notify and prepare. Therefore, Kakashi set the start time of the mission for the next morning.

So far, although the mission in Wave Country had some twists and turns, it was still launched as scheduled.

Just as Kakashi was about to leave with the members of Team 7, Uchiha Qiushan suddenly said in a calm tone:

“Sasuke, please stay for a moment.”

Sasuke, who had been following Kakashi with an expressionless face, was shocked after hearing his master’s words, and then replied:

“Yes, Master.”

After hearing the conversation between Uchiha Ooyama and Sasuke, Kakashi just glanced at Sasuke, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then urged the hesitant Naruto to leave the Hokage’s office.

After Kakashi’s team and Dazna left, Uchiha Qiushan nodded to Sister Tsunade, put his hand on Sasuke’s shoulder, and directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the top of the Hokage Rock.

Sasuke had long been accustomed to his master’s space-time ninjutsu. When he saw his master bringing him here, he just stared at the scenery in the distance. After waiting for a while, Sasuke still spoke hesitantly:

“master···”

Uchiha Qiushan didn’t look at him, but looked at the bustling Konoha Village in the distance and asked:

“How are you doing recently? Are you feeling better?”

Hearing what his master said, Sasuke felt his nose sore, as if he had a lot to say to his master but didn’t know how to start.

After Uchiha Itachi defected, the person closest to him in this world was his master who had been with him since childhood and was also his last support.

However, Sasuke also knew that his master was not only his master, but also the patriarch of the Uchiha clan and the leader of the Anbu in Konoha Village. He was usually very busy and naturally could not spare much time to take care of him. He also understood this.

However, even though he understood and knew it clearly, Sasuke still felt a little aggrieved in front of his master.

Sasuke took great pains to suppress the sadness in his heart and said:

“It’s okay, but Kakashi-sensei has already taught me everything about Lightning Release. There’s nothing more he can teach me. The only thing left is for me to practice on my own. As for the rest, Master has already taught me.”

Uchiha Qiushan understood what Sasuke meant. Kakashi no longer had anything to give him. He needed to become stronger, so he could no longer stay with Kakashi.

Uchiha Qiushan nodded and asked, “Where is the Lightning Release Armor? How far have you practiced it?”

When Sasuke heard what his master said, he used it directly, forming a layer of dazzling crackling lightning armor on his body, and said respectfully:

“I have already completed the second level of cultivation, but the third stage is too difficult, so I haven’t even started yet.”
