"I'm sorry, but I never leave my opponents a way out. For me, a dead enemy is the best enemy. Very few can become my friends."

The elegant sheathing of the sword made the moment of death seem beautiful to the extreme, but the pupils with the three tomoe were fixed on Naruto Uzumaki, who was thinking about something at that moment.

After all, they both knew each other's backgrounds. The karmic entanglement between Indra and Asura was rooted in their bodies and souls, intertwined with each other for countless lifetimes.

But at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke was no longer the simple Uchiha Sasuke. If we were to find a fitting way to describe him, he would be someone who had seen hope. After realizing that he was still in a dark and murky quagmire and could not escape, out of the last bit of kindness in his heart, he decided to slowly transform this quagmire into a place that, in his eyes, held hope.

The Uchiha clan's stubbornness prevents them from allowing anyone to disrupt their ideas and plans, even those who are very close to them! Just like Hashirama Senju back then.

Naruto Uzumaki saw this, which is why he has always been conflicted.

He longed for everyone to live better lives, but he didn't want to take the cruelest path to a peaceful and stable future for everyone. However, it was clear that Uchiha Sasuke was willing to shed blood to achieve this goal.

However, Naruto Uzumaki, who transcended other worlds, ultimately changed him, preventing him from falling back into the curse that Ashura had imposed on his reincarnation. However, he was still too uneducated, lacked experience, and his ambition remained unfulfilled, leaving him feeling melancholic and uncertain.

They lack the courage to walk alone, unafraid to challenge the world, and the boldness to recognize that among all living beings, there is only one who can be their opponent.

"The future plan can't accommodate so many people. Change always requires bloodshed and sacrifice. Ashura and Hashirama Senju are too naive. Even though Hashirama Senju has taken a step forward, he is still limited by it. I hope you can break free on your own."

He reached out and patted Naruto's shoulder, then whispered a message of encouragement to the somewhat bewildered blond-haired boy. As lightning struck, Zabuza Momochi and Haku Mizuki instantly turned to ashes, which scattered across the earth in the wind.

Although Lin Nian also agreed with the idea that the dead should be buried in peace, who could blame her when that brat Tobirama Senju created so many forbidden techniques and Konoha was not yet capable of preventing theft?

In order to prevent the enemies he had killed from coming back to annoy him in the future, Lin Nian felt that what he did was very necessary.

Didn't you see that after discovering this, the cool guy immediately used a merciful technique to make up for it?

He picked up the Executioner's Blade that he had cleaved in two with a single strike, sensed it, and after discovering that there was indeed a seal and contract inside, he tossed it to Naruto Uzumaki, who had also come over.

After realizing that the matter had entered his area of ​​expertise, he worked on it alone for less than half an hour, and with a hum from the decapitation sword, all the contracts and sealing techniques within were dissolved.

He then took out a scroll and sealed the Executioner's Blade inside, returning it to Uchiha Sasuke.

Meanwhile, the salted fish who had been watching this scene silently raised the "Icha Icha Paradise" to cover his exposed dead fish eyes.

After all, since they came out, everything these three kids have done has been completely different from what they did in the village.

However, as long as one understands that their existence is a real good thing for Konoha, and that as the Jonin leading the team, one is their master and disciple and there will be no conflict, that's enough.

As for these three brats who have been holding back for so many years, who are they planning to mess with?

What does this have to do with a scarecrow? Anyway, it doesn't involve him, and it won't harm Konoha, so it's fine.

On their way to the Land of Waves, Tazuna's hometown, Sasuke Uchiha's earlier actions finally calmed the old drunkard down, and he began to smile more at Naruto Uzumaki, the only one who was willing to talk to him.

He began to talk to Naruto Uzumaki, the only one who was willing to chat with him, and began to tell him about his bridge-building skills and stories over the years, hoping to get a little closer to this ninja team.

After all, the opportunity to make connections with influential people is something you have to seize yourself.
