Chapter 157 Sasuke: Something feels off
The morning after Tobirama arrived.
"Hey, Izuna, and Sasuke, wake up!"
At four o'clock in the morning, Tobirama walked into Izuna's room and loudly woke Izuna up, and also woke Sasuke up.
Izuna rubbed his eyes, looking at the aloof white-haired guy with a bit of speechlessness.
Honestly, does Tobirama really consider me his teacher?
That's completely upside down!
He spoke hoarsely, "Tobirama Senju, what are you doing?
It's only four o'clock!"
Although Tobirama hadn't slept for long, his mental state was excellent thanks to the deep sleep, and coupled with his anticipation for training the two, that's why he got up so early.
"Hmph, the early bird catches the worm.
If you don't get up early, how can you understand the meaning of life and experience its wonders?"
Tobirama snorted coldly, then stared at Izuna with a sinister look.
An ominous premonition welled up in Izuna's heart, and his left eyelid twitched.
Then he heard Tobirama's words.
"Listen up, Izuna, your task today is to learn the vibration of chakra at various frequencies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Izuna looked completely bewildered; clearly, he didn't understand.
"Wait, are you speaking human language?"
Izuna called out to Tobirama, who was about to go find Sasuke, and asked somewhat anxiously.
"Well, I knew it. With your intelligence, it would be a little difficult for you to understand what I mean."
Tobirama stopped in his tracks, a comical smile flashed across his face, and then he turned back to look at Izuna with a serious expression.
"No, I know the nature of chakra, but why should I learn it the way you say it?"
Izuna now has a tic-tac-toe mark on his forehead.
Tobirama Senju mocked his intelligence the moment they met, but Izuna's intelligence wasn't low either!
You should know that while Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were out having fun, the internal affairs of the Uchiha clan were handled by our resourceful Lord Izuna.
Under Izuna's leadership, the Uchiha clan has always been vying with the Senju clan for the top spot in the ninja world.
"Tch, this blue screen can be affected by special frequency chakra.
It's hard for me to explain exactly how it works.
You just need to figure out how to cut off the channel that transmits eye power."
Tobirama told Izuna about his early research findings, but he didn't mention the further research results, since he didn't know if Izuna would actually discover the truth because of it.
Although the Flying Thunder God technique that transcends time and space is a complete mess in Izuna's knowledge base, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Besides, if I were to teach all my research results to Izuna, he would need at least four or five years to learn.
What would happen to my little itachi then?!
Izuna was speechless and could only walk silently into the grove to begin training as Tobirama had instructed.
At this moment, Sasuke's consciousness also arrived in the sealed space and met the gaze of the white-haired Hokage, whose eyes held a hint of amusement.
"Hey, Sasuke, not bad, you're really motivated."
Tobirama looked at Sasuke, who resembled Izuna as a child, and immediately reached out and ruffled his hair vigorously.
"Second Hokage, um, how is Itachi doing now?"
Although Tobirama had killed his own head, Sasuke's biggest concern now was still his brother.
He could occasionally get some information about Itachi from his father, Fugaku Uchiha, but it was all fragmented and scattered.
But now, his brother's teacher was right in front of him.
This is a rare opportunity to find out Itachi's strength.
"Oh, little Itachi, he should be doing very well now.
The current Root organization is gradually flourishing under his leadership."
At that moment, Itachi, who was training a new batch of members at the Root base, sneezed.
"Itachi sneezed!"
"Chief, are you alright?"
Sai, who was painting with a huge brush, asked Itachi with concern.
Itachi took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva he had spat out, shook his head at Sai, and said in a slightly gentle tone, "It's okay, you can continue your training."
Seeing this, Sai nodded and then continued his training by drawing rabbits, snakes, eagles, and leaders.
Sasuke lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Is that so?"
Seeing Sasuke's somber mood, Tobirama couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?
Is something on your mind?"
"That's right, I want to bring Itachi back, lock him up at home, and let him atone for his sins."
As Tobirama listened to Sasuke's words, memories surfaced in his mind, and it seemed that it was indeed true.
Itachi had also told him that his younger brother wanted to take him back.
Should I take it back?
Tobirama looked at Sasuke with amusement. With Itachi's current status and strength, he didn't need to hide anything anymore.
If he really wanted to return to the Uchiha clan, who could stop him?
However, the main problem is Itachi's own mental hurdle, and perhaps Sasuke can be the one to help Itachi overcome that hurdle.
"In that case, I'll teach you some useful ninjutsu."
Tobirama cracked his neck and then patted Sasuke on the shoulder.
"Although I am skilled in Water Release, it does not mean that I have not studied other ninjutsu."
Sasuke looked up at Tobirama, who had a faint smile on his face, and was somewhat shocked.
Because he wanted to forcibly bring Itachi back, and Tobirama, Itachi's teacher, was actually helping him?!
"Well, you're Itachi's younger brother, and I can barely be considered Itachi's adoptive father, so in that sense, I can also be considered your adoptive father."
Tobirama said in a kind tone.
"Besides, Itachi also hopes that you can take him back."
A thin mist appeared over Sasuke's eyes. He wiped his eyes and then nodded solemnly.
"Okay, come with me for training."
Tobirama turned and led Sasuke toward the grove where Izuna was.
At this moment, Tobirama's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
.....
"Auntie Naoko, is this size of tree okay?"
Naruto pressed his hand against the charred tree, continuously channeling his chakra into it. Nourished by Naruto's chakra, the charred bark of the tree regained its vitality, and the tree even began to grow.
"Okay, that's fine."
Naruto nodded and said to Naruto.
"That concludes our mission!"
Naruto looked at Aunt Naoko with a (✪ω✪) expression, as if reminding her of something.
"Oh, right, wait a minute, I'll get you some herbal tea."
Naoko recalled the scene where the little ones and the white-haired creature were all very interested in her flower tea.
She patted her head, then went to her room to get the tea leaves she had made, intending to give some to the others.
"I can't accept this!"
Kakashi took the tea leaves, gave a shy smile, and then quickly put them into the pouch at his waist.
"It's okay, just come find me whenever you want a drink."
Naoko patted her chest confidently, leaving Kakashi stunned.
"Ahem, we're leaving now."
Kakashi stopped Naruto, said goodbye to Naoko, and then left.
