Konoha's dog is happy

On the way back to the village, Naruto, lying on Jiraiya's back, felt very tired at the moment.

But Sasuke's departure still made him unable to calm down.

Through a simple conversation and look at each other with Sasuke, Naruto understood his determination.

Naruto knew very well that no matter how reluctant he was to let Sasuke leave, he must let him leave.

After being with Sasuke for so many years, he felt that no one understood Sasuke better than him.

Sasuke's obsession with the destruction of the Uchiha clan was too deep. As his best friend, Naruto felt that letting go at this moment was the best choice.

The only thing he is worried about now is whether Brother Saitama can understand what Sasuke is doing.

Since the death of his third-generation grandfather, he now only has two relatives left, Sasuke and Saitama.

He didn't want his two relatives to have any problems because of this.

At this moment, Sasuke, who was lying on Gin's quilt, was still a little reluctant to leave Naruto and Saitama.

But he also knew that this was the best choice.

Sasuke, who is more sober and rational than the original work, clearly understands that he is indeed too obsessed with the destruction of his family.

But as the only survivor besides Itachi, the murderer, he knew very well that he had to find the truth.

Even if he couldn't bear to leave the people and things in Konoha, he had to leave.

Through a simple conversation and gaze with Naruto, he also understood that Naruto must understand his determination.

However, he still hopes that Saitama, who has always been smart and rational, can understand his current behavior.

He didn't want his brother, who had been taking care of him since childhood, to have a conflict with him because of this matter.

These two brothers, with the same thoughts in mind, slowly fell asleep on the backs of different people.

They were already exhausted. Apart from being able to think uncomfortably at the beginning, they were unable to resist their fatigue at all later on.

Because the Valley of the End is near Konoha, even if Jiraiya carried Naruto back to the village smoothly, he arrived very quickly.

At this time, the other twelve little heroes who had learned the news, and those in the village, basically came to the gate of Konoha and waited.

Also coming with them was Kakashi, the instructor of Class [-].

As Kakashi, who taught Sasuke Chidori, although he did not expect Sasuke to be nice to him in the future, he also hoped that nothing would happen to Sasuke.

As for whether Sasuke would be persuaded to come back by Naruto, he actually had no hope.

Not just during the time when he was teaching Sasuke Chidori, but especially after Sasuke came back from Shuba Town.

Kakashi, who understood what happened, knew very well how much Sasuke desired strength.

Having read Sasuke's letter just now, he also saw Sasuke's determination.

Kakashi never doubted the strength of those who led the organization.

Now that someone suspected of being from their organization wanted to teach Sasuke, how could Sasuke not be tempted.

As for whether Sasuke had the talent to become stronger, Kakashi had never doubted it.

Compared to Kakashi's calmness, the other Xiaoqiang were much less calm.

As for Sasuke leaving Konoha, even Sakura and Shikamaru, who noticed something was wrong with him recently, did not think about it, let alone the other Xiaoqiang.

Because Sakura and Sasuke were teammates, she stayed with Sasuke whether during the Chuunin Exams or after the incident in the town.

Regarding Sasuke's transformation, she wouldn't say it was comparable to Naruto and Saitama, but she was similar to Kakashi.

It's just that because he was too infatuated, he didn't expect that Sasuke would reach this point.

As the smartest one among their friends, Shikamaru noticed something was wrong with Sasuke before the chuunin promotion party he held.

Although he was different from Sakura, he really didn't expect Sasuke to leave Konoha.

He had made many speculations, such as practicing hard with Kakashi, becoming a disciple of Lord Jiraiya, etc. He had thought about it all, but he had never thought that Sasuke would leave Konoha.

The observant Shikamaru knew very well that Sasuke's feelings for Naruto and Saitama were too deep.

Therefore, I still haven’t figured out much about the current situation.

In fact, in addition to the two of them, one of these Xiaoqiang also noticed something unusual about Sasuke.

He even considered Sasuke's current situation of leaving Konoha.

It's just that he usually doesn't show his emotions or anger, so even if he guessed a little, his calm expression now didn't make others think there was anything wrong.

And this guy who is even smarter than Shikamaru is Shino, who has never expressed much.

This little guy who could sense something was wrong with the Suna Ninja during the Chuunin Exams has a really good mind.

While they were waiting anxiously, Hinata, who had Byakugan, was the first to see Jiraiya.

"I saw it, Lord Jiraiya is walking this way."

Sakura, who cared most about Sasuke, looked forward excitedly and shouted.

"Ah, really?"

"Then have you seen Sasuke?"

Hinata waited until Jiraiya got closer and could see more clearly before speaking to everyone.

"I didn't see Sasuke, but Naruto-kun seems to be lying on Jiraiya-sama's back."

Sakura, who was a little disappointed, also saw a little bit of Jiraiya at this moment.

Although she couldn't see clearly, she still sighed a little because she believed in Hinata's Byakugan ability.

"That's it"

After a while, Jiraiya carried Naruto to the gate of Konoha.

Seeing that these people were waiting and some wanted to come forward to speak, he quickly hissed.

"shush"

"Don't make any noise, Naruto is asleep."

"If anything happens, let's go to the hospital and talk about it."

Although he briefly treated Naruto, the injury was not serious.

But for safety reasons, he thought it would be better to take Naruto to the hospital.

After handing Naruto over to the doctor, Jiraiya and the others waited in the hospital corridor.

At this time, Sakura, who was in the most urgent mood, finally found the opportunity to ask questions.

As soon as she saw Jiraiya coming out of the ward, she immediately ran over.

"Jiraiya-sama, did Sasuke really leave?"

Since only Jiraiya and Naruto came back, those waiting at the gate had actually understood, and so had Sakura.

She still had some illusions, so she asked the question whose answer was destined.

Seeing Sakura like this, Jiraiya couldn't bear it.

Although he wasn't very familiar with this little girl, he had met her a few times.

This little girl's infatuation for Sasuke is very similar to her own feelings for Tsunade.

Just when he didn't know how to answer the little girl, a shout came from the corridor.

"Jiraiya, how is Naruto?"

Everyone looked towards the corridor where the sound came from and saw an elegant woman approaching.

As the woman approached, everyone began to say hello.

"Hello Naruto-sama"

"Hello Naruto-sama"

After Tsunade nodded, she came to Jiraiya.

"What is the specific situation?"

Jiraiya looked at everyone who was looking at him and felt that there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Not long after we left the village, we saw A Yin who took Sasuke away."

"He was waiting for us right on the road, and it's close to the Valley of the End."

"When we got closer, he asked Naruto to go in along the path leading to the Valley of the End, saying that Sasuke was waiting inside, and asked me to stay where he was with him."

"We all know the Valley of the End, so A Yin's thoughts couldn't be clearer."

"I'm also very aware of the friendship between Naruto and Sasuke. At this time, I think it's better for them to make it clear themselves, so I didn't follow it."

"After waiting for about an hour, that Ah Yin asked me to go in with him."

"After entering, we fished Naruto and Sasuke out of the lake in the Valley of the End."

"Looking at the scars on their bodies, it was obvious that they had a great fight."

"Judging from the fact that they all sank to the bottom of the lake, it should be a draw."

"Because I was outside on the avenue, I didn't know the specific situation at all."

"But if Ah Yin can go in on time, he should have already arranged for his shadow clone to observe inside."

"When Naruto wakes up, he directly tells Sasuke to leave."

"Looking at the situation at the time, I also understood that the two of them must have communicated well."

"So I didn't take any action and came back directly with Naruto."

"That's roughly what I know."

Sakura originally wanted to ask how Sasuke was injured, but she noticed that the Hokage was thinking beside her, so she refrained from asking.

Tsunade, who was lowering her head, actually didn't think about it for long.

When she looked at Jiraiya again, she said the key thing.

"Since you let him leave, I will treat him as if he is leaving the village on a long-term mission."

"Rebellion and ninja will definitely not be placed on his head."

Sakura, who was originally worried about this matter, quickly bowed and thanked Tsunade.

"Thank you Hokage-sama"
