"This kid." Only Tsunade reacted immediately, looking at Xin, "Did he buy Mystery Box from you?"
"That's right." Xin said with a brilliant smile, "Sasuke had the will to change his destiny and paid the price. Of course, I wouldn't refuse the business."
"As expected..." Tsunade looked at Xin meaningfully, "Only your Mystery Box can cause such a big change in someone overnight."
Among everyone present, perhaps only Kakashi was still completely bewildered.
What Mystery Box?
What are they talking about? The reason Sasuke became stronger is because of Mystery Box?
Even Naruto, held by Kakashi, stopped struggling at this moment and stared at Sasuke with wide eyes.
Those magical Mystery Box bought by Teuchi-ossan? Sasuke actually bought them too?
"That's how it is, Hokage-sama." Sasuke raised his head, his face full of confidence, even looking directly into the eyes of the Hokage before him, "I am completely different from yesterday. Staying in the team is just a waste of time. I request to leave the team."
He submitted his request once again.
No one spoke anymore.
Everyone was looking at the Third Hokage.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt some hesitation in his heart.
He hadn't expected it.
That Sasuke would actually buy Mystery Box from this mysterious merchant. Was the initial search for the Uchiha clan's assets not thorough enough?
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, then slowly exhaled, subtly glancing at Xin, who seemed to be watching with a smile.
He had made his decision.
"Sasuke, I have received your wishes and your request." Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then continued, "However, you need to prove that you truly cannot grow further within a ninja team, as you claim."
"I can prove it!"
Sasuke said without the slightest hesitation.
Anyone could see his confidence at this moment, like a sharp sword revealing its edge.
"Do you know why every ninja team needs a Jonin as a squad leader?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, calmly puffing on his pipe, "Jonin are the elite among ninjas. Their strength and mission experience far surpass that of Genin. The purpose of a squad leader is for you to learn something from them."
Sasuke didn't say a word.
He remembered earlier.
During the bell test, he was completely powerless against Kakashi, and was even easily stepped on.
However, he was different now.
