Chapter 202 Fortunately I didn't kill you
Ninja World
"Naruto…he finally became a jonin."
"Then Sasuke is the only one who is still a genin."
"It should have been done a long time ago. With Naruto's strength, he should have been appointed as a Jonin during the Fifth Generation."
"Is this really okay? Although Naruto is very powerful, even the Five Kage combined are no match for him, but he has no experience in becoming a Jonin after all..."
on screen
Looking at Naruto's grinning mouth, Kakashi said: [I also want to announce it directly, but before that, you have to complete one thing. ]
At this moment, the classroom door was opened.
The three little ones, Udon, Moegi, and Konohamaru, walked in holding piles of books.
Pure Land
Hashirama looked at the books and a box of scrolls placed on the podium, looking frightened.
“Isn’t this…too exaggerated?”
Even Izuna was shocked.
"A jonin needs to master so much knowledge?"
He looked at the horrified Naruto on the screen with a sympathetic look on his face.
Moon
Kaguya glanced at the books with fear, then quickly fixed the screen and slightly looked away.
A bead of sweat slid down her cheek.
"Hagoromo, the world you protect is indeed filled with only pain."
Ninja World
"Qi! Kakashi who talks with heavy breaths. It's too much. He actually made Naruto learn so many things."
"For Naruto, learning so many things might be better than letting him fight Sasuke again."
"These are the knowledge that everyone from Chunin to Kage must master, right? If it's just for Jonin, that would be too much."
on screen
【This is……】
Kakashi explained: [That is, learning. ]
[Study...study? I don’t want to study! ]
Naruto rushed to the window, like a prisoner trying to escape from prison, and collapsed: [I won't learn! I won't learn! I won't learn! Instead of learning, I'd rather be a Genin for the rest of my life. ]
Konohamaru walked behind him and said seriously: [There is no shortcut on the road to becoming Hokage.]
Hearing this, Naruto was startled and stopped struggling.
Kakashi also said: "Naruto, I don't need to say much about your strength as a ninja, but if you want to become a Hokage in the future, you must first stand above others and learn how to be a leader. Besides, you are smart, and Shikamaru can assist you in general strategies. But even so, you still need a minimum of knowledge and accomplishment. 】
Konohamaru handed the book in his hand to Naruto: [Aren't you and I both opponents who aim to become Hokage? ]
Naruto took it.
Screen turn
that night
Naruto's head was smoking and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Iruka encouraged: [You have worked hard, Naruto. In two years, you will be able to become a jonin.]
Naruto, with smoke coming out of his head, collapsed and said: [It's been too long...]
[Okay! Let’s stop here for today and go eat ramen. ]
Naruto instantly recovered and cheered: [Great! ]
the other side
Konoha Interrogation Department
There was the sound of the door opening and Sasuke turned his head.
【Sasuke...】
Then, the scene changed to the next day.
Kakashi said to Sasuke: [To be honest, you should have been forced to go to jail. The reason why your request was accepted and your past actions were exempted from punishment is because you have made outstanding contributions in lifting the Infinite Tsukuyomi.]
[But I became the Sixth Hokage, and Naruto, the hero who ended this war, has repeatedly pleaded for you. These two points are even more important. Remember. Don't mess around in the future, otherwise I will be held responsible.]
Sasuke said: [I'm sorry.]
Sakura looked at him reluctantly and asked: [Do you really have to leave? Lady Tsunade said that the prosthetic limb made with Lord Hashirama's cells will soon be available...]
[I want to know how I view this world and the ninja world now. I feel like I can see things that I missed before, things that only I can see now. Besides, there are some things that I am worried about...]
Hearing Sasuke's words, Sakura blushed and lowered her head: [If I say... I will go with you too...]
Sasuke closed his eyes and said: [This is also my journey of atonement. You have nothing to do with my sins. ]
Sakura dropped her head completely helplessly.
[It’s irrelevant…]
At this time, two fingers pointed at her forehead.
[Next time. Thank you.]
Sakura's pupils kept trembling, and there seemed to be a stream of light passing through her eyes.
Then, Kakashi and Sakura watched Sasuke's back getting farther and farther away.
Until one moment, Sasuke stopped.
He turned to look at Naruto who was leaning against a tree.
[I thought you wouldn't come to see me off. ]
Naruto didn't say anything, but handed him the forehead protector with a scratch on it.
Screen turn
Naruto, wearing the robe of the Seventh God, grinned down.
At this point, the screen went black.
Ninja World
After watching the story of Naruto and Sasuke, some people had mixed feelings, and their impressions were endless, but in the end, they just said one sentence: "Sasuke is so handsome."
The girl next to her nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Sakura is so lucky, I'm so envious."
"Naruto's face looks very mature and steady, but I didn't expect that when he really succeeded the Hokage, he would still laugh. His wish has finally come true."
"It looks like many years will have passed by the time Naruto becomes the Seventh Hokage."
“A wonderful story with many wonderful battles, which is unforgettable.”
"This story is also worth people's deep thought. Is Sasuke's path... really wrong? For the five major countries, maybe? After all, they have the ninjas of the village to protect peace for them. But once the Ninja World War comes, how can we, as ordinary people, be sure that we will not be affected by the battle between ninjas?"
"It turns out that Naruto and Sasuke's strength was given by the Sage of Six Paths, and Sasuke's Rinnegan is also his own."
"It's a pity that the host fast-forwarded their story a lot. To this day, we still don't know the identity of the masked man and what kind of illusion Madara's infinite moon reading is. But after all, this has exceeded the broadcast time by a lot, so it's understandable."
Just when everyone in the ninja world thought the live broadcast would end.
The next video appeared on the screen.
In the picture, the Fourth Raikage walked towards Sasuke.
【Here I come, boy.】
Sasuke's eyes drooped as he recalled the scene where the Raikage cut off his own arm after his arm was burned by Amaterasu.
The Raikage continued: [Naruto once knelt down and begged me for you. It was you who kidnapped my brother, and Danzo agreed to treat you as a traitor at our request.]
Sasuke looked stunned.
in memory
Naruto, with a bandage on his face, knelt down in front of the Raikage.
[Please! I don't want to kill each other for revenge anymore. I beg you not to kill Sasuke, not to kill Uchiha Sasuke! Please! I don't want to kill each other for revenge anymore. ]
End of memories
The Raikage said to Sasuke: [Fortunately, I didn't kill you. You understand yourself and others, don't go down the wrong path again. Then find a reason that people around you will agree with. This incident is one of the reasons.]
After saying that, the Raikage turned around and left without waiting for Sasuke to reply.
