"Sasuke, what do you think about the 9 vs 9 match? Any ideas about the possible opponents Konoha might send?"
"Thoughts? None! We'll face them head - on. They're just greenhouse - grown flowers. To be honest, I have no intention of losing even a single match."
Everyone was sitting in the main hall of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke stood right in the center of the hall, looking calm, as if he were talking about something as ordinary as could be.
"The battle must end with a complete domination in which all nine of us win."
"Shh~ Wow, so cool and domineering! No wonder the Uchiha clan is well - known worldwide."
"That means all of us here have to participate. But how are we going to arrange the order? It doesn't matter for the other opponents, but if Naruto Uzumaki also participates in the match, we might have a hard time winning."
Kidōmaru was a bit worried. The perfect Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki, seemed extraordinary when Kidōmaru first saw him. His killing intent was terrifying.
If he were to face such a guy directly, he really didn't have much confidence.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of Naruto."
Sasuke stood up from the central stool and scanned the room.
"During the time before the match starts, you all should focus on your training in the mansion. If you have any questions, you can ask the people here."
"Hey, where are you going then?"
Suigetsu watched Sasuke leave and asked curiously. Why wasn't this guy training with them and where was he going alone?
"I haven't been home for a long time. I came here suddenly this time and plan to have a good reunion with my family. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."
?_?
After saying that, he left without even leaving a glance back. Come on! Is that something a person should say?
He left them here feeling miserable while he went off for a family reunion. This guy was really hateful.
...........
"Sasuke."
Mikoto hadn't seen her son for two years. As soon as she saw him, she rushed over and hugged him tightly. Looking at his slightly more mature and handsome face and his tall and straight figure, she thought that he was shorter than her when he left, but now he was even taller.
Fugaku stood seriously aside without saying a word, but his worry was clearly visible in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something but held back.
"Mom, Dad... I'm sorry. I've been so willful these two years and made you worry..."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
As Mikoto spoke, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. Thank goodness, both her sons were safe and sound. That was more important than anything.
"Sasuke, Mikoto, stop standing there. The food is ready. Come and eat quickly."
"Brother, I..."
"Sasuke, we're a family. If you want to apologize to me or say something unclear, there's no need. The most important thing for you now is to come over and have a meal quickly. There's nothing more important than the whole family getting together for a meal."
Itachi's face showed a happy and contented smile. Looking at the whole family reunited and having a lively time at the table, he felt extremely happy at this moment.
"Yeah, where's Naruto?"
"Why isn't he here?"
For a moment, that guy who loves a lively atmosphere so much not being here now made Sasuke feel a bit lonely.
"Naruto was held back by Lady Tsunade. He probably won't be back until very late. Let's set aside a portion of food for him."
Itachi recalled that Naruto had hidden the fact that he was a Perfect Jinchūriki. He estimated that Naruto would be lectured by the upper - echelon ninja for a long time...
"Serves him right!"
When saying this, one could still sense Sasuke was a bit sulky. That guy had become so powerful that it had even stirred up Sasuke's inexplicable desire to compete.
Naruto, you're really something. Sasuke wanted to see if he could perfectly display the power of the Jinchūriki during the official matches.
.............
"Ah, I'm so tired!"
Naruto didn't get back home until very late. He was almost driven crazy by Granny Tsunade's nagging. At this time, the others had all gone to sleep. There was a constantly - lit lamp in the empty residence and some pre - reserved food.
Naruto took a look at the warm environment, walked to the table, sat down, and began to eat slowly.
"You're just getting back at this hour?"
"Sasuke?!"
With chopsticks in his mouth, Naruto looked at Sasuke who suddenly appeared. He felt a strange little sense of surprise.
"Why aren't you asleep at this hour? Could it be that you've been waiting for me?"
"Stop making such silly and childish jokes. I'm asking you, how did you perfectly master the power of the Jinchūriki?"
Sasuke pulled out a chair, sat across from Naruto, and asked with a raised eyebrow and annoyance.
"Well, this, of course, is achieved through hard cultivation during my training. Actually, it's nothing. Although I'm a Perfect Jinchūriki, it's just about understanding the feelings of the tailed beasts, caring about their emotions, and getting them to recognize me."
"I heard that you even used Sage Mode when you were tailing Kabuto. So now can you freely switch between Nine - Tailed Fox Mode and Sage Mode?"
"Yeah, so you guys have to be careful during the matches. I'm really strong."
?乛?乛?
....
?_?
"Didn't you say you wouldn't participate?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, his expression suddenly stern. Did this guy forget what he had said before?
(⊙o⊙)
"Well, after all, it was an order personally given by Granny Tsunade. I couldn't very well refuse. But don't worry, I'll definitely go easy on you guys."
Looking at Naruto's confident look, Sasuke felt a long - lost surge of anger. He angrily kicked away the stool and turned to leave.
"Sasuke, Sasuke, are you leaving now?"
Looking at Sasuke's departing back, Naruto scratched his head in confusion and murmured.
"What's wrong with him? Is he in a bad mood again? He's as hard to please as an old master..."
............
"Where is this?"
Two huge hands forming hand seals. The fences on the high platforms on both sides of the empty arena. This was the arena for the preliminary round of the Chunin Exams.
"Ahem, hello everyone. I'm Kakashi, the referee for this match. I'm honored to be the referee. Since the two sides don't know much about each other right now, well, we've specially organized this friendly exchange. Please both sides participate in this bout with an optimistic, just, and positive attitude. That's it."
"First, let me introduce the Red Team, the Konoha Team, led by the captain Shikamaru Nara, consisting of other Konoha elites."
"Eh?! Why is Shikamaru the captain? Why not me?"
Naruto widened his eyes and spoke up curiously. He grabbed the railing tightly with both hands and stared at Kakashi in confusion.
