Naruto looked at Sasuke expectantly, hoping that Sasuke would stand on his side, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Sasuke's eyes flashed, and he said, "You have no obligation to help Konoha. It's normal not to save the Third Hokage."
"What did you say, Sasuke? How can you say that? He's the Hokage, he..."
"Enough. I won't repeat myself. So what if he's Hokage? He's dead, so what?"
Sasuke's indifferent words dealt a significant blow to Naruto.
"Sasuke, Naruto."
Sakura looked at the two of them with concern. She didn't have much of an opinion about Yi Shuihan; she simply didn't want to see Sasuke and Naruto at odds.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Although Yi Shuihan didn't say it, he was very satisfied with Sasuke's performance. His teaching (torture) hadn't been in vain; it had improved Sasuke's strength so much, so it wasn't a waste after all.
"Let me tell you! We want you to find someone and bring her back to Konoha."
Kakashi stood up.
"Looking for someone? Could it be Tsunade?"
Seeing Kakashi's surprised expression, Yi Shuihan understood; it really was Tsunade.
"Don't ask me to do this. Let Naruto do it. I believe he can bring Tsunade back."
Even though he wanted to see Tsunade in this world, Yi Shuihan refused. He didn't have much time left in this world and needed to improve Sasuke's strength as soon as possible. He didn't have the time to go looking for someone.
Kakashi was disappointed by Yi Shuihan's refusal, but he was prepared and did not continue to persuade her.
Chapter 441, Meeting and Challenge
"Fine, if you won't help, I'll find Granny Tsunade with the perverted sage."
Naruto was clearly still sulking, to which Yi Shuihan simply smiled slightly.
"Today may be the last time we meet."
Yi Shuihan suddenly said.
"Are you leaving?"
Kakashi looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise, feeling somewhat caught off guard.
Even Naruto temporarily forgot about Yi Shuihan's refusal to help in her time of need. Looking at Yi Shuihan, his eyes were filled with reluctance. After all, they had spent so much time together, and Yi Shuihan and Rao had already held a significant place in Naruto's heart.
"I've been in Konoha for so long, there's no point in staying any longer. Most importantly, this is no longer something I can decide."
When the time comes, he will be automatically teleported back. Even if Yi Shuihan is powerful, he still cannot change this. He is still far from being able to control the power of time and space.
Yi Shuihan did not explain that he came from another world. If he did, it would have taken too much time and effort, and he was too lazy to do so.
However, it seems that this led to a misunderstanding. Seeing Kakashi's thoughtful expression, Yi Shuihan could only pretend not to see it.
After that, there seemed to be no more topics to discuss, and they fell into a brief silence.
"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Kakashi was the first to take his leave, and he wasn't lying. Konoha was in a state of disarray and needed him in many places.
Once there was a first one, there was a second. Sakura and Naruto left one after another, leaving only Sasuke in the end.
Do you have anything to say?
Yi Shuihan had already noticed that Sasuke had something on his mind.
"I want to leave Konoha and go find that person. Do you think it's a good idea for me to do this?"
Sasuke revealed his thoughts. He didn't mean leaving Konoha through proper means. After all, as a ninja, one can only leave their village during missions. He meant to disregard that and go wherever he wanted, simply according to his own will.
To put it more bluntly, he wanted to be a ninja who was not under the jurisdiction of Konoha. To put it nicely, he was rebellious; to put it bluntly, he was a traitor.
"Haven't you already made up your mind? Just do what you want! But before you do, I'll give you something. You can open it and take a look after you find Itachi."
As Yi Shuihan spoke, he took out a square iron box, which was just big enough to hold a book.
In fact, it really is a book inside, a book that can be called the Book of Destiny in this world, called Naruto, which records the original course of the world in Yi Shuihan's memories.
"I understand." Sasuke took a deep breath, accepted the iron box, bowed deeply to Yi Shuihan and Rao, and then left with firm steps.
What did you give him?
"A book, a book that can change history."
Yi Shuihan's words were filled with a unique emotion.
That very night, Sasuke was discovered to have defected. Normally, with his strength, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to leave, but he chose to leave openly, fighting his way out through the main gate.
Naruto chased after him, but upon seeing Sasuke, he didn't even have a chance to unleash his power before being instantly defeated by Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Yi Shuihan and Rao also left Konoha at the same time, or rather, secretly followed Sasuke away, since the mission was not yet complete!
In the days that followed, Yi Shuihan would wait until Sasuke was asleep each day to help him improve his mental strength, and leave when Sasuke woke up.
Finally, on the night before leaving this world, Yi Shuihan helped Sasuke evolve his eyes into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, thus elevating Sasuke's strength to the level of Kage, the strongest below the Six Paths level.
"Ding, task settlement in progress..."
As the system notification for the settlement task sounded, Yi Shuihan and Rao embarked on their return journey once more, quietly departing from this world.
"1000 cultivation points have been credited to my account. This time I've really reaped a lot."
Looking at the familiar desert, Yi Shuihan was in a good mood, and his longing for his wife Tsunade suddenly burst forth. A day apart felt like three autumns; it had been so many years since they last met.
Anxious and without giving Rao time to recover, she grabbed Rao's shoulder and activated the teleportation. The next moment, they were in the room that she knew all too well.
"here it is……"
Rao felt a little dizzy and couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to ask Yi Shuihan, but then he felt a huge force coming from him.
Without any resistance, Rao was thrown out of the room and landed face-first in the dirt.
"Go find someone outside named Matt Day to make arrangements for you. Just say you have the same status as him. Also, if anything comes up, contact me again the day after tomorrow."
The shame and anger on Rao's face turned very strange the next moment, because he heard a very familiar sound coming from the room. It was a beautiful melody created by the most primitive movement since the beginning of time and the birth of mankind.
His face flushed red, and he glared fiercely at the direction of the room. Rao fled from the dangerous area as if he were escaping. He knew that if he stayed there, he might be killed by the enraged Yi Shuihan.
"The boss has been away for quite a while this time! I wonder when he'll be back."
Matt Day sat listlessly in his personal employee chair, appearing somewhat indifferent.
"If we don't come back soon, the landlady will make us go out and look for someone. I really envy that guy Hatake Sakumo. Because he's the landlady's senior, he gets special treatment."
Toyota Blue, who wasn't far from Mighty, was also not very interested.
"Huh? Who is he, and how did he get out of there?"
Suddenly, Toyota Ao exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Rao who had just come out from behind, his face full of confusion.
"A powerful opponent, and not just any ordinary one! My blood is boiling! Let's have a good fight!"
When Might Guy saw Raoh, he was instantly revived, his eyes shining as he ran up to Raoh and challenged him to a fight.
Rao looked at Might Guy strangely. The man in front of him seemed a bit silly, but he gave Rao a great sense of threat, a threat that even Orochimaru of this world could not match.
Chapter 442, No Fooling, No Die
"Wow, you wouldn't happen to be the landlady's secret lover, would you?!"
Toyota Ao let out a strange cry and looked at Rao with a gossipy expression.
It has to be said that compared to Might Guy's bold and straightforward personality, Toyota Ao is a more reserved and quirky character with an extremely imaginative mind. Just because Rao came from the direction where the landlady, Tsunade, now lives, he came up with this idea.
This strange cry instantly petrified Rao, who was still considering whether to fight Might Guy to see his strength. He slowly shifted his gaze to Toyota Blue, feeling an urge to kill him.
When did he, a dignified boxing champion, become known as a scoundrel? How could he possibly do such a despicable thing?
Moreover, the title "boss lady" reminded Rao of Yi Shuihan, and he immediately put Yi Shuihan in the title of "boss." As for why he didn't think Yi Shuihan was a scoundrel, besides Rao believing that Yi Shuihan was not that kind of person, there was also the fact that Yi Shuihan's previous words, asking him to find someone to arrange things for him, were clearly not the words of a philanderer.
"I don't know if I'm a wild man, but I do know that your boss is back."
Thinking of something, Rao looked at Toyota Ao with a sympathetic expression and said.
"What did you say? The boss is back? That's great, uh, no, I..."
Toyota Ao's expression changed drastically as soon as he showed a happy look. Only then did he realize what it meant for his boss to be back.
As an old man who had followed Yi Shuihan for so long, he knew Yi Shuihan's abilities. He had seen the ability to clearly know what was happening even when you weren't in front of him more than once, and each time he was amazed.
If what Rao said is true, then his shout earlier must have been heard.
Upon thinking of this, sweat immediately broke out on Toyota Ao's forehead. He felt a terrifying sense of life and death enveloping his entire body, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Boss, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know you were back!" With a mournful face, and without any hope that Yi Shuihan didn't know, Feng Tianqing admitted his mistake and wanted to be forgiven.
Meanwhile, in the room where Yi Shuihan was fighting, Yi Shuihan frowned, then casually waved his hand in the air before continuing his battle.
Above Toyota Blue, a giant hand composed entirely of spiritual energy formed without warning and then pressed down like a mountain crashing down.
"Boom."
Before Toyota Ao could react, he was slapped squarely by the giant hand. When the giant hand disappeared, a blood-covered figure lay in the center of a huge handprint on the ground.
Toyota Ao's once handsome face was now swollen, his clothes were completely tattered, and even his buttocks were exposed, swaying in the wind.
The bird, which was neither too big nor too small, was charred black; it was unclear whether it could still be used.
For an ordinary person, such an injury would definitely leave them unable to move for several months. However, Toyota Ao was different. He had been taking drugs for a long time, and he always had the medicine to help him recover. Therefore, he was basically recovered in less than a minute, although he still looked a bit scary.
He flipped himself up from the ground with a limp, and Toyota Ao looked on with lingering fear. If that giant hand had exerted any more force, he might have died.
"Huh, why does it feel a bit chilly?"
The sudden chill puzzled Toyota Ao. He looked down and was immediately dumbfounded. The wind was blowing on his balls and they felt cold. He went home to hang up his clothes.
With a speed even faster than opening the Eight Gates, Toyota Ao disappeared from the scene in the blink of an eye, leaving only Egg's sorrow.
Having witnessed all of this, Rao was once again amazed by Yi Shuihan's strength, and also became curious about the guy whose name he didn't know yet. Those serious injuries were no joke, so how did he recover so quickly?
"What? Looks like you don't want to fight me anymore?"
Rao looked at Might Day, whose fighting spirit had diminished considerably, and asked.
"The boss is back; if we fight, it will affect them."
Matt Day was originally a fearless person, but Yi Shuihan was an exception, because Yi Shuihan was not only his benefactor, but also knew one of his weaknesses that was not really a weakness.
To be honest, even Yi Shuihan hadn't expected Might Guy's weakness: he was afraid of being forced into sex by pretty girls. This left Yi Shuihan, who had accidentally discovered this secret, stunned for quite some time.
Do you know what they're doing right now?
Rao suddenly remembered what Yi Shuihan was doing and temporarily gave up the idea of testing Might Guy's strength.
"Ok!"
Might Guy nodded. While he couldn't say he completely understood Yi Shuihan, he was quite familiar with her temperament and could easily guess what she would do after returning.
"He asked me to find someone named Matt Day, but I don't know where to find one?"
"I am Might Day!"
"Is it you?"
Rao was somewhat surprised, but thinking of the other half of Yi Shuihan's words, he seemed to have the same status as Mighty. If that's the case, then in that person's eyes, the two should have similar status and strength!
Interesting. His strength might be even greater than I thought.
Raoh was clearly overthinking things, but if it really came down to a contest of strength, a life-or-death battle between Might Guy, who had opened all eight gates, and Raoh might actually result in mutual destruction.
"Did the boss say anything else?"
He said I have the same status as you, but he doesn't know what your status is?
"I am an employee of the hot spring resort!"
Might Guy replied without any sense of incongruity, even with a hint of pride.
"Employees of the hot spring resort, employees!?"
Rao's voice unconsciously grew louder; he was finding it hard to accept his current identity.
"Yes! Is there something wrong with it?"
Matt Day clearly didn't understand why Rao was reacting so strongly, and asked in return.
"It's nothing. I'll leave the rest to you. By the way, could you tell me what employees are generally required to do?"
