Chapter 947 S-Class Rebel Ninja

After hearing this, Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest and thought for a moment before saying, "But we are still not sure whether he will really seek revenge. If we directly classify him as an S-rank traitor, it would be too cruel for a child who was once a Konoha ninja. And once he is classified as such, it will be difficult to change in the future."

Shikaku frowned slightly and was about to open his mouth to refute when Shizune hurried in. "Hokage-sama, there is news that Sasuke is currently in contact with some of Orochimaru's former subordinates, as if he is looking for some power."

Tsunade's frown deepened, "It seems that this child's danger factor is indeed increasing."

Seeing this, Shikaku said, "Hokage-sama, we must make a decision as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. If he really obtains some of the evil power left by Orochimaru and comes back for revenge, Konoha will suffer a great disaster."

Tsunade gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind: "Then we will temporarily classify Uchiha Sasuke as an S-level rebel, but we must continue to pay attention to this matter. Once there is a turning point, we will adjust the rating at any time." Shikaku agreed, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was worried about Sasuke or the future of Konoha.

Shikaku came back to his senses and said to Tsunade, "Hokage, regarding the position of elder, I think there is someone in the Nara clan who is more suitable. My uncle Nara Arashi is calm and fair. He has been silently contributing to the family and the village for many years and is quite familiar with the various affairs of Konoha." Tsunade nodded gently, "The Nara clan has always been loyal and reliable, but this matter still needs to be considered from many aspects. After all, Konoha is in a turbulent period now, and every decision is crucial." Shikaku expressed his understanding. Then Tsunade gave a few more instructions about Sasuke, and Shikaku withdrew.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Shikaku looked up at the sky, and his worries grew. He knew the impact of Sasuke becoming an S-rank rebel, which not only affected Konoha's safety, but also the reputation of the Uchiha clan. The vacant elder position was related to the balance of Konoha's high-level power structure. He took a deep breath and secretly vowed to protect Konoha. At the same time, he also hoped that Sasuke would not go to a dead end. Perhaps there would be a way to resolve this crisis in the future.

When Shikaku returned home, the members of the Nara clan gathered around to ask about the position of elder. Shikaku simply said that they were still discussing it, and then walked to the courtyard and sat down alone. He remembered how Sasuke looked like when he was a child in Konoha Village, full of energy and fighting spirit. Who could have thought that he would become like this now?

At the same time, Sasuke, who was far away from home, felt the change in Konoha's rating of him. He clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but also mixed with helplessness. He knew that all this was because his pursuit of power made Konoha wary. But he would not give up. He had to become stronger in order to solve the secrets of the Uchiha clan and wash away the injustices that the family had suffered.

In Konoha Village, Nara Arashi learned that he might be elected as an elder. He felt both honored and pressured. He found Shikaku and said that he would continue to support the development of Konoha regardless of whether he was elected or not. Shikaku nodded with relief, and the two looked in the direction of Konoha Village, hoping that this land would be peaceful and prosperous forever, and that the Sasuke incident would be properly resolved.

Sasuke took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that he couldn't act impulsively at this moment. Since Konoha had regarded him as an enemy, he could only speed up the pace of gaining power. He turned and walked towards the secret place where Orochimaru's old subordinates were, where there were many forbidden techniques materials that Orochimaru had collected.

In Konoha, Nara Arashi began to actively participate in village affairs and assisted in dealing with the series of impacts brought about by the Sasuke incident. He proposed to send the Anbu to secretly monitor Sasuke, but not to act rashly, on the one hand to prevent Sasuke from doing evil, and on the other hand to give Sasuke a chance to turn back. Tsunade agreed to this proposal.

At this time, Kabuto, who had been observing Sasuke in the dark, reported Sasuke's movements to a mysterious force. It turned out that Kabuto had already betrayed Orochimaru and joined a force that intended to destroy the balance of the ninja world. They wanted to use Sasuke's hatred to incite Sasuke to attack Konoha, thereby triggering a larger-scale war. Kabuto had a sinister smile on his face, as if he had seen Konoha fall into war, and he was the one who benefited. Sasuke was unaware of this and was still determined to move forward on the road to becoming stronger, not knowing that in addition to power, there were also conspiracy traps waiting for him ahead.

After Sasuke entered the secret place of Orochimaru's former subordinates, he found that it was full of various traps. He moved forward carefully, relying on his excellent skills and the insight of the Sharingan to gradually go deeper. Just when he was about to get a key forbidden technique information, many puppets suddenly emerged around him and attacked him. Sasuke responded calmly and cut the approaching puppet strings with his sword.

On the other hand, Nara Arashi in Konoha noticed that Sasuke's actions seemed to be interfered with in some way, and it was not as simple as simply gaining power. He suggested that Tsunade increase the intensity of intelligence gathering.

On Kabuto's side, a mysterious force urged him to further promote his plan. Kabuto then arranged for his men to disguise themselves as Konoha ninjas to attack Sasuke, making Sasuke more convinced that Konoha wanted to kill him.

After Sasuke defeated the puppet, he encountered a disguised attacker, and his anger soared. He decided to accelerate his acquisition of power and immediately return to Konoha to seek an explanation. At this time, Naruto learned that Sasuke was designated as an S-level rebel, and decided to go find Sasuke. He firmly believed that he could bring Sasuke back to Konoha and prevent the impending tragedy.

Naruto embarked on a journey to find Sasuke, sleeping in the open air along the way. After repelling the disguised attackers, Sasuke finally got the key forbidden technique information. He began to study the power in it, hoping to improve his own strength.

Seeing Sasuke step into the trap step by step, Kabuto was secretly pleased. However, his little tricks did not completely escape Konoha's eyes. By analyzing the intelligence from all sides, Nara Arashi vaguely guessed that there was a dark hand behind the scenes pushing Sasuke to confront Konoha.

On his way, Naruto accidentally met a ninja who knew the truth and learned that someone deliberately framed Sasuke. Naruto speeded up, he wanted to find him before Sasuke was completely blinded by hatred.

When Sasuke was practicing forbidden techniques, his body gradually became abnormal, but he was desperate for revenge. Just when he was about to lose control, Naruto arrived. Naruto rushed to Sasuke regardless of the danger and shouted his name. When Sasuke saw Naruto, his hatred and friendship were pulling each other. At this moment, the whole situation was extremely tense, and Kabuto and the mysterious forces behind the scenes were still waiting to see a big fight, but they didn't know that Naruto might ruin their wishful thinking.
