25% Naruto's Strongest Force / Chapter 23: Sasuke

Capítulo 23: Sasuke

Shisui had been enjoying a few days of leisure recently, but he was soon disrupted by Fugaku, who insisted on having Sasuke take him as a mentor.

Due to the unclear situation, Fugaku had previously planned to send Sasuke out of the village, but Shisui had stopped him.

Shisui argued that it was even more dangerous for Sasuke to be outside alone with the ninja world entirely of ambitious figures unless a Sharingan user protected him.

Jokingly, Shisui thought, if Sasuke wasn't in Konoha, how would he form bonds with Naruto, grow from them, be challenged, and develop further?

However, this was just a casual thought from Shisui, as he wasn't particularly impressed with Sasuke.

Although Sasuke and Naruto were considered children of destiny, with Sasuke as Indra's reincarnation and Ashura's Naruto, Sasuke always seemed far behind Naruto. Importantly, it wasn't just Naruto's Nine-Tails advantage.

It was Sasuke's inferior temperament and talent. As the saying goes, comparing products can lead to discarding them, and comparing people can be disheartening.

A whole clan's demise triggered only a single tomoe in him; further developments and tragedies related to Naruto moved him to two and three tomoe. His family's death was less impactful than his bond with Naruto.

In Itachi's plan, Sasuke should have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan early, ideally during a battle where they were evenly matched. Itachi's death by his hand would release Sasuke's hatred and lead to the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Instead, during their battle, Sasuke only had the pitiful three tomoe.

Itachi drastically lowered his power due to illness, and Sasuke could only defeat him under those circumstances.

Sasuke's intelligence was also concerning; his whole family was annihilated, and his brother easily deceived him without suspicion.

If ignorance in childhood was understandable, by age 16, after Itachi's death, he still needed explanations to realise his foolishness.

His arrogance was immense. He flaunted power everywhere, and upon gaining the Mangekyo Sharingan, he considered himself invincible.

Always challenging bosses above his level, Sasuke took on Mangekyo challenges with just three tomoe, the Eight-Tails with his Mangekyo, and the Rinnegan with his eternal Mangekyo. He was far from pragmatic.

Itachi used his Mangekyo Sharingan for years, whereas Sasuke's eyes deteriorated within months of awakening his. This was due to his inflated ego.

Even when he sealed Kaguya with Naruto, Shisui felt it was merely plot armour laden with too many coincidences.

Shisui never relied on such unstable factors.

He preferred Itachi, who had strong learning capabilities, unmatched shuriken skills, and swift hand seals.

Itachi knew how to use an enemy's attacks to control the battle. After joining Anbu, he gained significantly more skill than the genius Kakashi and was already at Kage-level strength when he defected.

Itachi's genjutsu was the strongest, able to deflect the illusions of Konoha's genjutsu master, Kurenai, with just a look and incapacitate Kakashi with Tsukuyomi.

Even Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, was immobilised by Itachi's illusion.

Itachi's calm demeanour allowed him to analyse enemies' weaknesses quickly and maintain the upper hand in battle, always holding a card to turn the tides.

Shisui saw no area where Sasuke outperformed Itachi, except that Itachi's health could have been better, prompting Shisui to send him to the Land of Rice Fields.

Shisui also had high hopes for Shisui, another young prodigy who activated his Mangekyo earlier and faster than Sasuke. He was swift, second only to those with space-time ninjutsu.

In another world, had he not died young, his potential achievements would have been boundless.

Thus, Shisui wasn't particularly interested in training Sasuke.

However, Fugaku had come to request this personally.

It was hard for Shisui to refuse any longer, mainly since Fugaku had always supported his decisions, helping everything run smoothly.

Reluctantly, Shisui decided to mentor Sasuke, if only to eradicate his penchant for arrogance.

To Shisui, improving Sasuke's combat skills was a minor concern; his main issue was simply finding Sasuke's attitude irksome.

When Sasuke was brought back to the village, he was just learning about the dramatic changes his family had undergone during his absence.

His revered brother Shisui had been a victim of eye theft.

A new deputy clan leader had emerged, his beloved brother Itachi had left the village with many Uchiha, and his home was now ruined, though his parents were safe.

Sasuke could hardly grasp the reasons behind these upheavals at five years old.

Wandering through the village feeling down yet maintaining a cool façade—after all, he was a Uchiha—villagers looked at him with sympathetic expressions.

To them, the Uchiha's calamity marked a noble family's decline.

Unaware of the implications behind their looks, Sasuke felt deeply annoyed.

He ran hard to his favourite spot in the woods, where he encountered a group of children taunting one another.

"Get lost, you demon fox! No one wants to play with you!"

"I'll be Hokage one day!"

"Ha, you become Hokage? That'll be the day!"

"It's because of you, demon fox, that my dad died!"

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!"

Sasuke emerged from the trees to see several children beating on Naruto Uzumaki, who, though tear-stained, was defiantly struggling.

"Hey! Who said you could bully him!"

"Who are you!?"

"What's it to you!?"

Sasuke, hands in his pockets, declared, "I am Uchiha Sasuke! Let him go, or you'll have me to deal with."

"Uchiha!? What's so great about Uchiha, ha ha!"

"Uchiha is nothing now!"

"Even your clan's young leader has defected; what right do you have to act tough?"

Furious, Sasuke charged forward and knocked down one of the boys, oppressing Naruto.

Together, they fought off the remaining children.

Sasuke's refined taijutsu took down two more while Naruto dealt with the others.

Eventually, the children, realising they were outmatched, fled, shouting, "A demon and a traitor's kin, just you wait…"

Left behind were only Sasuke and a dirt-smudged, tear-streaked Naruto.

Though Sasuke appeared unscathed, his expression was far from pleased.

Capítulo 24: Naruto

Sasuke slipped his hands into his pockets again. "Hey, crybaby, how did you end up so messed up?"

Shedding a gloomy look on his face, Naruto retorted, "Humph, snotty kid, where have you been lately? I haven't seen you by the lake."

Sasuke and Naruto had known each other since they were kids, and Sasuke often practised his Fire Style techniques by the lake, but Naruto hadn't seen him around recently.

There had been many unfavourable rumors about the Uchiha clan.

For kids, rumours usually emphasise the negative aspects.

In any world, kids are the same.

"My father took me on a trip, and I've been cooped up at home every day, bored to death," Sasuke explained casually.

Naruto cautiously asked, "Sasuke, did something happen to your family?"

Sasuke was about to lose his temper, but seeing Naruto's cautious look, he snorted, "No, nothing's wrong. The Uchihas are fine!"

To Naruto, who had been bullied since childhood, Sasuke was an object of envy because he had his family around.

Naruto was just an orphan with no parents. Only the Third Hokage occasionally visited him.

Naruto didn't understand why people called him a demon fox or why they didn't want to be his friends.

But Sasuke, Hinata, and Shikamaru never bullied him; they were approachable.

He was worried about his friend's family undergoing troubles that might leave him orphaned like himself.

Meanwhile, as Naruto and Sasuke conversed, several ANBU members were stationed in the treetops nearby.

The Hokage assigned them to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki around the clock.

Everything Naruto did, ate or said was recorded and reported to the Third Hokage.

Although Sasuke and Naruto knew each other, the Uchiha clan's circumstances had changed.

Thus, when Sasuke approached Naruto, an ANBU had already gone to report to the Hokage.

While Naruto was under surveillance, another person stood in the trees nearby—Uchiha Shisui.

Fugaku asked him to take Sasuke as his disciple, but he wanted to observe first.

He wanted to see what the unscathed Sasuke was like, especially since the Uchiha clan massacre had yet to happen.

From the recent fight, Uchiha Sasuke seemed just a somewhat arrogant, kind-hearted kid.

Sasuke received elite training at home, practised with shuriken, and knew Fire Style.

But he used only taijutsu to chase away a few kids and comfort Naruto.

Shisui watched for a while, stroking his chin, contemplating whether he had been too prejudiced against Sasuke.

After the Uchiha clan was annihilated, Konoha seized their properties, and without guidance, Sasuke's misdevelopment seemed almost inevitable.

It wasn't too late now.

Shisui jumped down from the tree, startling both Sasuke and Naruto.

"Sasuke, do you recognize me?" he said, revealing his Sharingan.

Sasuke initially guarded Naruto behind him but relaxed upon seeing Shisui's Sharingan.

Having the Sharingan meant he was a clan member.

"I'm Shisui. You've seen me before," Shisui said with a smile.

Recalling his image, Sasuke eventually overlapped it with the Shisui he had seen a few times before.

"Ah! You're Senior Shisui!..." Sasuke suddenly recognised him.

Then, hesitantly, he added, "I heard that you… are now the deputy clan leader?"

Shisui, who disliked putting on airs, said without a formal tone, "Forget deputy leader or not, just call me senior."

"Yes, Senior Shisui," Sasuke responded happily.

Shisui looked around and asked, "Weren't you supposed to go straight home after returning to the village? What are you doing here?"

"Uh… ah… I…" Sasuke was downcast because he had heard many rumours as soon as he entered the village.

"Stop your stuttering. Are you hungry? I'll take you for something to eat," Shisui said, ruffling Sasuke's hair.

"Okay," Sasuke replied, somewhat uncomfortably but unable to dodge Shisui's hand.

Naruto stood by, his eyes filled with envy and a touch of sadness.

"I guess I'll go home and eat too!" Naruto tried to cheer up, not wanting Sasuke to see his sadness.

There was probably still a box of ramen he could eat at home.

"Hold on."

Shisui smiled warmly, "You're Sasuke's friend, right?"

Naruto sniffled, "Yes, Uncle! I'm Uzumaki Naruto! The man who will be Hokage in the future."

"Uncle!?" Shisui couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and annoyance, though he was around twenty.

Being called uncle at twenty was expected in a world where teens went to war and married young, but Shisui didn't like it.

Ignoring Naruto's latter statement, he had already discreetly sized up Naruto, who wore tattered clothes and looked malnourished.

Without the Uzumaki clan's strong constitution, Naruto's sporadic meals and expired milk would have left him sick or dead.

The Third Hokage was genuinely despicable.

Shisui cursed internally and said, "Since you're Sasuke's friend, how about I treat you to ramen?"

"Really, Uncle?" Naruto brightened up, as he could seldom afford ramen.

Shisui, seeing Naruto's joy over a simple meal, shook his head.

"Order a Grand Slam for Naruto." He chose the most expensive item on the menu, which included a variety of meats and eggs—a luxurious ramen set.

"Hurray for Senior Shisui!" Naruto had never had the Grand Slam before; the best he had ever eaten was pork bone ramen.

As Shisui observed Naruto's happiness over a small meal, he shook his head again.

"Get me a pork bone ramen, and Sasuke, order whatever you want…"

At that moment, Shisui felt a surge of chakra sweeps over him.

Without looking up, he knew it was the Third Hokage's telescope technique.

He thought, "You never care when it's about taking care of Naruto, but you rush over when someone approaches him."
