#60 - Chapter 60 Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t save Sasuke from being bitten!
After watching the Pain Invasion arc, Naruto lay on his bed with his head in his hands, looking at the ceiling and pondering once again whether or not to save Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Previously, his main consideration for saving Hiruzen Sarutobi was his concern that Tsunade wouldn't return after the Chunin Exams, and Danzo would take over.
And if Danzo took over, he would most likely not be able to advance to Chunin...
"Xiao Ai, do you want to give me a mission to become Hokage?"
【Ding!】
【Please complete your current mission first, Master, don't be too ambitious~】
"......"
Even if Xiao Ai didn't say it, Naruto could guess.
There will definitely be a mission to become Hokage in the future.
And if he wants to complete this mission, he needs to make plans early!
The first thing is—Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot be saved!
Because if he saves Hiruzen Sarutobi this time, then the old man will most likely live until the Pain Invasion four years later!
And Pain may not be able to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi... Even if Pain kills Hiruzen Sarutobi, there are still two possible competitors, Danzo and Tsunade.
Naruto doesn't want to do one mission for more than ten years!
But at the same time, Naruto has no interest in being Hokage forever...
So, if he follows the original plot, Tsunade is seriously injured and comatose... the vacant 5.5th generation Hokage seems like a good target?
Or... kill the stand-in?
"But if I don't save Hiruzen Sarutobi, I must bring Tsunade back... otherwise, this old thing Danzo might really take over early."
Now in Konoha, besides Danzo, there is really no one more qualified than him to serve as the Fifth Hokage.
If Jiraiya hadn't been in Konoha after Orochimaru's invasion, the two advisors might have really agreed to Danzo succeeding as the Fifth Hokage!
"It seems I have to look for Jiraiya after this exam..."
Naruto decided to prepare for the worst.
He won't save Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he'll look for Tsunade first!
If he can't find Tsunade, then he'll kill Danzo!
"Naruto, where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura came out after taking a shower, and asked with some confusion when she saw that Naruto was the only one there.
"He went to train."
Naruto replied indifferently, got up, took the new clothes Iruka had prepared for him, and walked into the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later,
When he came out, he was the only one left in the dormitory!
Naruto didn't care where Sakura and Sasuke went, he lay back on the bed and prepared to watch another episode of anime.
At this moment, Sakura rushed in from outside the door.
"It's terrible, Naruto! Sasuke-kun has been attacked!"
"Attacked?"
"Just now when I went to find Sasuke-kun, I happened to see that Grass Ninja we met in the Forest of Death before. That person... that person bit Sasuke directly!"
"Orochimaru..."
Naruto wasn't surprised that Sasuke was bitten. He couldn't stay by Sasuke's side all the time, and as long as Sasuke acted alone, he would definitely be bitten!
But being bitten once won't kill him, and he passed the second Chunin Exam, so Naruto isn't worried about anything.
Even if the survival rate of the Cursed Seal of Heaven is only one in ten...
"Where is Sasuke now?" Naruto asked.
"Kakashi-sensei took him away!" Sakura said anxiously.
Naruto said indifferently: "Since Kakashi took Sasuke away, we don't need to worry too much, just wait here."
"But... will it really be okay?" Sakura was still worried, but she didn't know where Kakashi had taken Sasuke, so she could only wait here with Naruto.
A few minutes later,
She looked at Naruto staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking, and asked with some confusion: "Naruto, aren't you worried about Sasuke?"
"Not worried." Naruto replied perfunctorily without turning his head.
"Why?" Sakura asked puzzled, "Is it because of what Sasuke did in the exam before..."
"It doesn't have much to do with that, I just simply think he won't die." Naruto said indifferently.
Although some of the things Sasuke did in the Forest of Death did make Naruto a little dissatisfied with him, he didn't take it to heart.
Unless Sasuke still likes to disobey his orders in the future, if that's the case, then he will definitely let Sasuke know why the flowers are so red next time!
One night passed,
Sasuke still didn't come back.
Just as Sakura was worried, Sasuke came back clutching his neck.
But he didn't come back by himself, Kakashi came back with him!
"Sasuke-kun, Kakashi-sensei!"
"Yeah."
Sasuke ignored Sakura and went straight back to bed to rest.
Kakashi responded to Sakura, then looked at Naruto, who was also lying on the bed, and asked: "Naruto, come out for a moment!"
Naruto looked at Kakashi, feeling like a bad student who had done something wrong, and the class monitor was called out to give instructions.
Coming outside, Kakashi said to him: "Naruto, Sasuke's condition is currently stable, and there are no serious safety issues, but... a very dangerous guy has planted a dangerous power in his body."
"I have sealed this power, but once the chakra in Sasuke's body is exhausted, this power will automatically surge out, and even my sealing technique cannot stop it!"
Naruto looked at Kakashi expressionlessly, "So what do you want me to do?"
"I hope you can pay more attention to Sasuke's situation in the future, prevent Sasuke from overusing his power, and prevent this power in his body from being activated!" Kakashi said solemnly.
"You know that's impossible." Naruto said indifferently.
With Sasuke's personality, he can't give up on becoming stronger!
And to become stronger, you must have high-intensity battles and overdraft your body's power!
Unless he has a system...
"After this exam, I will take Sasuke to train." Kakashi said lightly,
To prevent power from being overdrawn, you either have to fight carefully, or increase your combat power limit!
As long as he can become stronger, Sasuke will not be bewitched by the power given by Orochimaru!
This is also why Kakashi suddenly wants to give Sasuke special training!
Although Kakashi said in the original work that it was for the Chunin Exam, but... that's not the case.
The deeper reason why he gave Sasuke special training alone was actually to prevent Team 7 from falling apart!
Kakashi knows very well what Sasuke cares about—first place!
If Sasuke can always maintain the first place in his age group, then he will not be obsessed with Orochimaru's power!
But man proposes, God disposes, no one thought that Naruto in the original work would actually become Jiraiya's apprentice... and after Jiraiya's special training, his strength surpassed Sasuke!
This is unacceptable to Sasuke!
Sasuke believes that he has worked hard enough in his cultivation, and being surpassed by Naruto is only because he lacks a better teacher!
With this comparison, Sasuke will choose to join Orochimaru's embrace!
It's just that now, even without a better teacher, Naruto is far from comparable... I don't know how long he can stay in Konoha.
