Although it was anticipated that Sasuke would awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan after waking up, no one expected it to happen so quickly.
Not only Yoruha, but even Tsunade and Jiraiya were shocked. "He actually awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan."
While the Three Tomoe Sharingan isn't the Mangekyou Sharingan, it is one of the only two Three Tomoe Sharingans in Konoha at this time, not counting Danzo's.
The Three Tomoe Sharingan poses a threat even to Kage-level ninjas due to its enhanced dynamic vision and genjutsu amplification.
As long as Sasuke becomes familiar with these eyes, his strength will undoubtedly reach that of an elite Jonin. Sasuke didn't notice this. He looked at Yoruha and sobbed, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
It seemed like a complaint, but it was also because Yoruha had indeed been away for too long, and the pressure Sasuke had been under during this time was immense. Yoruha smiled and said, "Congratulations on awakening the Three Tomoe."
Sasuke was momentarily stunned, then remembered something. However, he didn't feel happy because his mind was filled with the images of Uchiha Itachi slaughtering the Uchiha clan.
"The gap between us is still too vast. Even if I team up with Kakashi-sensei, we're no match for him." Sasuke felt the enormous disparity between them.
Yoruha said, "Actually, aside from the eyes, you're not inferior to him." "After all, you've fought for so long, and until you awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, he can't do anything to you."
Sasuke was taken aback and said, "I haven't relaxed at all during this time. When Orochimaru attacked the village, I realized how big the gap between me and the Kage-level ninjas is."
"Everything seemed so dangerous while you were away." "If only you had been in the village during this time, how great it would have been." Sasuke lamented.
So many people had died during this period, even the Third Hokage. The Third wasn't just special to Naruto; he was also a significant figure for Sasuke.
From many memories, it was clear that the Third cared a lot about Sasuke, or rather, he cared about everyone in the village. As long as it didn't affect the village, he was a kind elder.
The hospital room fell into a deep silence. Sasuke was immersed in sadness, while Yoruha felt a bit awkward. Sakura, on the other hand, was happy because Yoruha had returned, Sasuke had woken up, and they were back to how things used to be.
Jiraiya and Tsunade looked on with satisfaction. They saw how strong the new generation of Konoha ninjas was, and they were hopeful that Konoha would only grow stronger in the future.
This strength was the foundation for Konoha's peace and stability. The silence was broken by Naruto and Guy.
After Naruto informed Guy of Tsunade's return, they rushed over together. Guy burst in and was so excited upon seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya that he almost couldn't speak. "Lady Tsunade, please, help heal my disciple, I beg of you."
Tsunade looked at Guy and said, "Let's go." Seeing so many things worth celebrating, Tsunade felt hopeful for Konoha's future. Naruto, who had come along, was thrilled to see Sasuke awake and jumped over excitedly.
"Hahaha, Sasuke, you're awake!" Sasuke looked at Naruto rushing towards him and felt a chill run down his spine.
Sasuke raised two fingers. "Lightning Style: Lightning Body Flicker." With a crackling sound, he transformed into a streak of blue lightning and vanished from the hospital bed. In the next instant, he appeared beside Yoruha.
Naruto lunged forward, nearly crashing into the bed. "Sasuke, what are you doing? Why are you acting like Yoruha?"
He recalled how Yoruha had dodged him in a similar manner when they first met. Sasuke rolled his eyes at him. Meanwhile, Sakura stood by, smiling, "Naruto, Sasuke just recovered. You might affect his condition if you keep this up."
In the past, Sakura would have lectured Naruto with her fists raised. But now, she was in a good mood and calmly explained to him. Naruto jumped off the bed and approached Sasuke, looking into his eyes.
Sasuke frowned. "What are you doing?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Your eyes... they've turned into the Three Tomoe Sharingan! You've awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan?"
Sasuke nodded. "No way, how did it happen so fast? Sasuke, you've awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan, doesn't that mean you're stronger than me again?" Naruto complained, feeling a bit annoyed.
Of course, it wasn't that Naruto had any issues with Sasuke. He just saw Sasuke as a rival, and being surpassed left him feeling uneasy.
Sasuke, however, didn't see it that way. "You have your summoning beast. Even with the Three Tomoe, I can't be sure I'd defeat you."
Sasuke understood this well. As long as Naruto could summon the toads, he'd have an edge over him. Naruto chuckled, "That's true."
Sasuke, seeing Naruto's silly grin, decided to ignore him and turned to Yoruha. "Yoruha, do you think I should find a summoning beast too?" Yoruha was taken aback.
"Yeah, you probably should," Yoruha replied, puzzled as to why Sasuke was asking him. "Shall we look together?"
Sasuke asked seriously. Yoruha's mouth twitched slightly. "Waiting for me, huh?" Sasuke wanted to find a summoning beast with Yoruha's help. With Yoruha around, even if they encountered powerful summoning beasts, Yoruha could handle it.
Sasuke felt a bit embarrassed. That was indeed his plan. He knew that with his current strength, he couldn't tame those large summoning beasts.
Sasuke didn't want to settle for ninja dogs as his summoning beast. The Uchiha clan's cats weren't strong enough either. Sasuke wanted a summoning beast as powerful as Gamabunta.
With Yoruha by his side, he wouldn't be in any danger. Before Yoruha could respond, Naruto laughed, "Hahaha, Sasuke, finding a summoning beast like Boss Gamabunta isn't that easy." Sasuke ignored Naruto and kept his gaze on Yoruha.
Yoruha was at a loss for words. Sasuke becoming more down-to-earth was a good thing, but not entirely. How did he become somewhat materialistic?
Tsunade and Jiraiya had also gone with Guy to visit Lee's hospital room. Now, only the four of them remained in the room. Yoruha suggested, "Actually, I think you could discuss it with Kakashi-sensei."
But before Yoruha could finish, Sasuke firmly refused, "I don't want to." Not only Yoruha, but Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura all didn't want to use ninja dogs as their summoning beasts. Yoruha sighed and said, "But I already have a summoning beast."
"What?" "When?" "What is it, Yoruha?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura exclaimed in surprise. Yoruha replied calmly, "I said I have a summoning beast. I found it on the way during this mission."
Naruto, who had fainted before Yoruha arrived, didn't know Yoruha had a summoning beast. "Yoruha, what kind of summoning beast is it? If you chose it, it must be strong, at least not weaker than Naruto's toads," Sakura said.
Sasuke also looked at Yoruha with curiosity. Naruto was particularly concerned, as he had thought he was the only one among the four of them with a summoning beast.
That was the one area where he felt he was stronger than Yoruha and the others.
