Chapter 159 Another one! ? (Third update)

Sasuke left without any regrets.

He also officially embarked on the future path he chose. His life had been distorted by his own brother. He would not feel that his choice was wrong at all, and his behavior was obviously not what Itachi wanted to see.

You must know that in Itachi's script, he wanted to see his younger brother become a hero who protects Konoha in the future, and he himself was a stepping stone arranged for his younger brother. Whether it was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or killing the rebellious ninja Uchiha Itachi, all of this was the future Itachi had set for Sasuke.

It's a pity that Itachi didn't know what the principle of extremes was.

His high pressure and his indifference.

All of these made Sasuke embark on a path that Itachi himself could not predict at all. The final result in the original work was indeed what Itachi wanted, but this process was definitely not what Itachi wanted to see. Didn't Itachi know who Orochimaru was! ?

In Konoha, Itachi could still control it, but with Orochimaru, everything depended on Sasuke himself.

In this process, if any accident occurred, his younger brother would be gone directly.

This definitely touched Itachi's reverse scale.

But just like Itachi's actions, he didn't mean to tell Sasuke at all.

Itachi couldn't control Sasuke's own choice.

Sasuke's future.

It was really only Sasuke himself who had to grasp it.

And Sasuke, who left with the Sound Four, couldn't keep it a secret forever. Even if someone helped to cover it up, the truth would eventually come out.

No matter how weak Konoha was, it was still the TOP in the ninja world. A little clue could easily lead to an investigation.

It was only less than half a day.

Uchiha Sasuke had a high probability, no, it should be said that it was almost 100% certain that the information of his defection appeared directly on Tsunade, the fifth Hokage's desk.

"What did you say!? Uchiha Sasuke defected?"

Tsunade stood up suddenly and asked Shizune in front of her with a high voice.

Although his identity and uniqueness were not as good as Mamoru's.

But as the only member of the Uchiha clan left in Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke's status is not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas.

That represents the strongest eye technique in the ninja world - Sharingan!

Such a special ninja defected.

For Konoha, it is also a big deal, and Sasuke is also a member of Team 7. Counting Menma who defected before, this means that in just less than a month, Team 7 has directly defected two people.

This made Tsunade, who finally relaxed a little because the situation in Konoha had just stabilized, feel upset again.

She was not in the village before, and she had no intention of taking care of these things, so she naturally didn't understand.

But now after taking over the position of Hokage, Tsunade learned about the inside story of the Uchiha clan's destruction and the special identity of Uchiha Itachi.

This is not only because Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu will definitely tell Tsunade, but also because the Hokage has the power to investigate all the files in the village and govern all affairs.

Including Danzo's root, if Tsunade is really determined, it is not impossible to forcefully intervene, that is, she has to consider the problems that may arise later.

Therefore, the affairs of the Uchiha clan, and the relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Tsunade is well aware of it.

How could Tsunade not be surprised when she suddenly heard the news of Sasuke's defection.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama, this is confirmed news, or the news from the frontier reconnaissance base, just happened to run into the patrolling guards, and it was the Sound Ninja who took Uchiha Sasuke away."

Shizune also said with a bitter smile.

"Sound Ninja? It's Orochimaru, could he be kidnapped!?"

Tsunade frowned instantly. Of course, she knew that Orochimaru had contact with Sasuke in the Chunin Exam. Originally, this should be something that needs to be vigilant, but there were too many things in the village during this period of time. Tsunade subconsciously put aside this matter. Now it seems that she is still a little too careless.

"It's not enough to bewitch Uzumaki Menma, are you going to bewitch Uchiha Sasuke now?"

Tsunade doesn't believe that Menma and Sasuke are willing to find Orochimaru.

They are only 12 years old, how can they make accurate judgments.

Orochimaru must be the one behind this.

"No, Tsunade-sama, from what we can find, there are no signs of fighting."

Even if their strength is obvious, if they were really kidnapped, there would not be no trace left.

Shizune's answer is already a very clear attitude.

"Call Kakashi and Naruto immediately."

This is the moment when a decision must be made.

Tsunade also gave the order without any hesitation.

This is Team 7's business.

Tsunade naturally hopes that Team 7 can handle it, and as the saying goes, rules are dead, people are alive, and other ordinary people defect, there is nothing to say, just send the Anbu to kill them on the spot.

But Menma and Sasuke can't be treated this way.

The cruelest way is to capture them and put them in confinement. Double standards? Yes, it is very double standards, but this is the reality.

The real gap in identity and status.

"Tsunade-sama, have you forgotten? Kakashi-san has already gone out on a mission two days ago."

Shizune smiled bitterly and said.

"Oh, yes, I remember now. Let's call for Bingzu. No, Asuma, Choza? Uh, Might Guy?"

Tsunade herself proposed several names in succession, but she found that during this period of time, most of the senior ninjas in the village had gone out to perform tasks, and they were all very important tasks such as guarding and patrolling. You know, in the previous period of time, the entire ninja world had a feeling of impending storm.

A war could break out at any time.

Konoha must be alert.

The immediate combat power must be dispatched, especially in the northern front area against the Cloud Ninja. People have taken the initiative to cause friction. Even if the probability is not particularly high, you have to be prepared. If there is really no preparation at all, they will go south directly, and the battle line will not be completely collapsed! ?

Therefore, at this juncture, there are really few senior ninjas that can be dispatched in the Hidden Leaf Village. The only remaining ones have important duties and cannot leave easily.

For example, Shikaku is the squad leader of the jonin squad, one of the quasi-senior figures in the village, and Tsunade's right-hand man. It is impossible for him to leave the village easily.

"Forget it, call Naruto first, and then send someone to tell Kakashi to hand over the task at hand to others for the time being and rush to help at full speed. Oh, by the way, call the kid from Shikaku's family as well."

Tsunade paused, and continued to speak to Shizune.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Shizune quickly responded and turned to leave to execute Tsunade's order.

Not long after.

Naruto, who received the news from Shizune, also rushed over in a hurry.

The anxious and unbelievable expression on his face has already well explained Naruto's mood at the moment.
