Chapter 91 The Three Members of Kakashi's Team Who Are Trying Hard
Sasuke: ? ? ?
Sasuke: !!!
At that moment, Sasuke felt that either his hearing was impaired or his comprehension was impaired.
Otherwise, why did he feel like he had heard something extraordinary?
As a member of the Uchiha clan who prides himself on genjutsu (illusionary techniques), Sasuke began to doubt whether he was under a genjutsu for the first time when facing someone other than Itachi Uchiha.
With his index and middle fingers joined together in front of him, Sasuke solemnly declared, "Release!"
……
There is nothing unusual about it.
Sasuke incredulously lowered his hands from the hand seals, his gaze shifting between Mavis and August, and exclaimed, "Mavis, are you serious?!"
With a touch of tenderness, Mavis gently placed her hand on August's head and nodded firmly, replying, "Yes, August is my and Jelf's child!"
To Sasuke's astonishment, Zeref, who had been sitting on the sofa, got up, walked to August's other side, and gently placed his hand on August's shoulder.
A kind smile, incongruous with his age, appeared on his face as he smiled at Sasuke and said, "That's right, August is indeed my and Mavis's child."
Sasuke's expression gradually went blank...
……
Having roughly understood what had happened, Sasuke finally came to terms with the fact that August was Zeref and Mavis's child.
"Although it was so late, thankfully you finally recognized each other."
Sasuke's face showed a hint of blessing and envy.
Sasuke, who values his family highly, is genuinely happy for August, as not everyone is so lucky to be reunited with their family.
Seeing the genuine emotion and blessing on Sasuke's face, Auguste smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Sasuke."
Augustus felt great sympathy for Sasuke's plight.
As for the truth about Itachi, Mavis did not tell anyone, and August only knew the story circulating in the ninja world about Itachi Uchiha killing his entire clan.
Back in Amegakure, August, who valued family ties, was extremely cold towards Itachi Uchiha.
After arriving in Otogakure and having an encounter with Sasuke, August felt a pang of pity for this child who harbored hatred and was single-mindedly focused on revenge.
Upon seeing Sasuke's arrival, August realized that he had been so engrossed in the heartwarming moments after recognizing Zeref and Mavis that he had inadvertently missed the time to instruct Sasuke on his training.
Slowly walking forward, August transformed back into his original form and beckoned to Sasuke, "Come on, Sasuke, let me see if you've improved lately."
The mention of training instantly pulled Sasuke from the fact that the August family had reunited, and he immediately walked outside, saying, "Then let's go, August, I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."
Seeing that Augustus seemed to be on his way to instruct Sasuke on his training, Mavis instinctively tried to stop him, saying, "August..."
She still had so much to say to Auguste, so many things she wanted to make up for...
August, standing by the door, turned and smiled, "I'll be back soon, Mother. At least in this ninja world, we have plenty of time."
"Although it is heartwarming to see you in the form of a child, it is also good to help protect your present appearance. So, there is no need to dwell on the past or feel indebted."
As he spoke, he stepped into the outer corridor.
In the corridor, August's lips curled slightly, a happiness and peace he had never felt before filling his heart.
Inside the room, Mavis stared blankly at August's retreating figure, while Jelf gently placed his hand on Mavis's shoulder beside her.
Biting her lip tightly, Mavis could no longer hold back and, with tears in her eyes, threw herself into Jelf's arms.
Feeling Mavis's slightly trembling body and the dampness on her chest, Zeref felt his heart tremble slightly.
Holding Mavis tightly in his arms, Zeref felt once again, after a long time, that he was still just a human being.
Just a human being who feels sadness, guilt, and regret.
......
In the distant Hidden Leaf Village, a training ground has been completely transformed.
Sakura's eyes were filled with amazement as she looked at the shattered ground after Tsunade's punch.
"Is this your superhuman strength? It's truly amazing, Lady Tsunade."
With one hand on her hip, Tsunade said seriously, "Are you ready, Sakura? I won't hold back."
With her fists clenched, Sakura said firmly, "I'm ready, Lady Tsunade!"
Sasuke and Naruto are both constantly getting stronger, so she absolutely cannot fall behind them!
......
However, Naruto's training was not progressing as quickly as Sakura had imagined.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
At this moment, Naruto, who was far away from Konoha, squatted on the ground in despair: "That perverted sage went drinking again! He promised to train with me!"
On a deserted riverbank, watching Jiraiya disappear in the blink of an eye, Naruto could no longer hold back and shouted out loud, the loud shout instantly startling the birds in the nearby forest.
"Noisy!"
After Naruto shouted, a cleanly gnawed chicken bone suddenly fell from the sky and hit Naruto squarely on the head.
The scene shifts in the direction from which the bone flew, revealing a small orange fox lying on its back on a flat rock, one hind paw resting on the other, while one front paw is under its head, with glistening oil stains faintly visible on the other front paw.
It's quite obvious where the chicken bone dart came from.
With a slight flick of its glistening right claw, Nine-Tailed Fox handed over a plate full of chicken legs from the side.
A toad with a plate on its head appeared next to Nine-Tails.
When Naruto realized that the thing that had attacked him was actually a chicken bone, his forehead twitched. He turned his head and saw Kurama lying there like a grandpa, gnawing on a chicken leg.
Seeing Kurama's carefree expression, Naruto gritted his teeth, pointed at Kurama, and complained, "Gamabunta is my summoning beast! What right do you have to order it around all the time?!"
Then, pointing discontentedly at Gamakichi, who was holding a chicken leg, he shouted, "And you, Gamakichi, you're my summoning beast! What's with always hanging around Kurama?!"
At this point, Naruto was almost unable to hold back his grievances.
Gamabunta placed the plate on the edge of the stone, crossed his arms, and said, "Although I am your summoned beast, I am also the Nine-Tails' little brother. That's called loyalty."
Nine-Tailed Fox proudly waved its hind paws and grinned, "Hmph, with me here, you still have to summon these toads? If this one weren't my little brother, I would have turned every single one of those toads you summoned into a dried toad, hmph!"
With that, the Nine-Tailed Fox revealed its sharp teeth, and in the blink of an eye, a chicken leg was devoured clean.
This is life...
Lying on the rock, Nine-Tails, increasingly accustomed to its current size, gazed contentedly at the blue sky above and the slowly drifting white clouds.
Thinking of the unreliable, lecherous sage and the Nine-Tails who acts like a big shot all day, Naruto couldn't help but feel a deep sadness. At this rate, when would he ever be able to bring Sasuke back to Konoha?!
He didn't believe that Orochimaru and Zeref would let Sasuke raise snakes like he did with the Nine-Tails and toads every day!
Perhaps it was a pang of conscience, or perhaps Naruto's current tearful state was a bit annoying, but Kurama, unusually kind, explained, "Alright, didn't Jiraiya say you should train patiently and build a solid foundation so you can better utilize my power later?"
"You brat, once you can wield my power, Orochimaru and Sasuke will be nothing but a piece of cake!"
Nine-Tails raised its chin and said arrogantly.
