I ,Sasuke , Why Should I Defect To Konoha

"Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto called out with concern as he noticed Kakashi fainting. He quickly approached Sasuke to check on him, while Sakura and Tazuna hurriedly moved closer.

"Relax, it's just a side effect of using the Sharingan. Kakashi just needs a few days to rest and recover," Sasuke assured them calmly, instantly easing everyone's concerns.

"But why does Kakashi-sensei even have a Sharingan? That was incredible! Do you think I could learn to use it too, Sasuke?" Naruto suddenly blurted out, looking at Sasuke with eager curiosity.

Sakura sighed in exasperation at Naruto's question. "Naruto, the Sharingan is something unique to the Uchiha Clan. It's not like just anyone can develop it!"

"But then, why does Kakashi-sensei have it?" Naruto persisted, scratching his head in confusion.

Sasuke took a deep breath, slightly baffled at Naruto's cluelessness. "The Sharingan is something only the Uchiha clan possesses; it's part of our bloodline. You'd know that if you'd paid attention at the academy."

Sakura chimed in, trying to educate Naruto further, and the three returned to Tazuna's house without any issues.

The next morning, Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami, called out, "Everyone, Kakashi-sensei is awake!" Her announcement brought relief to Sasuke and the others.

"Kakashi-sensei, thank goodness!" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed, rushing to Kakashi's side, relieved to see him awake.

Kakashi looked at them and offered a tired smile. "Thank you for worrying about me, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke…."

Dazuna joined them, relieved to see everyone safe. However, Sasuke's expression grew serious. "This isn't the time to relax. I don't think Zabuza is really dead."

"What? Sasuke, what do you mean? We all saw him taken away by that masked ninja," Naruto objected, clearly confused. Sakura, too, looked doubtful but waited for Sasuke to explain.

Kakashi nodded thoughtfully, understanding Sasuke's suspicions. "That masked ninja from Kirigakure did take Zabuza's body, but… usually, the ANBU would only need to take the head to prevent any intel from being leaked. Yet, they took the entire body," he explained, which further puzzled Naruto and Sakura.

"So, that masked ninja was actually working with Zabuza?" Sakura said, connecting the dots.

Sasuke nodded. "Exactly. We should be prepared to face two enemies next time."

Kakashi agreed, pleased with Sasuke's insight. "Now that we know this, I'll be putting you all through stricter training to make sure you're ready."

Naruto, excited by the thought of another challenge, clenched his fists. "Just you wait, next time, I'll show that masked ninja what I'm made of!"

Sasuke, already focused on his next step, showed little reaction to Naruto's enthusiasm. "Let's start training this afternoon," he said, eager to strengthen his skills.

That afternoon, the group gathered near a river, where Kakashi stood, leaning on crutches. He addressed Sasuke first, "Given your level, Sasuke, you're ready to move beyond basic ninjutsu. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you should work on controlling your chakra to walk on water."

"Walking on water? Like what you did when you fought Zabuza on the river?" Naruto exclaimed, intrigued.

Kakashi nodded. "Yes, that's it," he said, then motioned for Sasuke to begin practicing. Based on Sasuke's control over his chakra, he was confident that Sasuke could master this technique quickly.

Without hesitation, Sasuke set off to train on his own, recognizing the importance of this skill.

Naruto, not wanting to be left behind, turned to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, can I practice walking on water too?"

"You're not quite there yet, Naruto. For now, you need to focus on perfecting the basics of Wind Release," Kakashi explained. "If you can master this, it will complement Sasuke's Fire Release, creating a powerful combo."

Naruto folded his arms, slightly disappointed. "But I want to learn a stronger jutsu!"

Kakashi sighed, "Wind is your chakra's natural affinity, Naruto. Combined with Sasuke's Fire Release, you'll be able to achieve greater power as a team."

Though slightly disgruntled, Naruto nodded and set off to work on his training.

---

Later, as the sun began to set, Kakashi observed his students as they trained tirelessly by the river. Naruto was struggling with his Wind Release techniques but showed determination. Sasuke, meanwhile, concentrated on the water-walking exercise, mastering the chakra control necessary to stay balanced on the water's surface.

Naruto watched Sasuke's progress enviously. "I'll get there too," he muttered to himself, pushing harder to improve his own technique.

Kakashi, impressed by their progress, silently praised their determination. This was no ordinary group; each of them possessed unique talents that, with proper guidance, could lead them to greatness.

---

The next morning, after an intense training session, Kakashi addressed his team. "Today, we'll focus on applying these skills in real combat scenarios. We'll work on combining your abilities to strengthen your teamwork."

Naruto's eyes lit up. "Finally! We get to put all this training into action!"

Sasuke remained calm, though his intense gaze showed his readiness.

"Remember," Kakashi continued, "Zabuza and his accomplice are formidable opponents. To defeat them, you must be ready to rely on each other's strengths."

As they continued their training, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura grew more synchronized, each learning how to support the others' techniques and tactics. The grueling exercises honed their skills and strengthened their bonds, preparing them for the challenges that awaited.

---

As they returned to Tazuna's house that evening, tired but content, Naruto couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for his teammates. He turned to Sasuke, "Hey, thanks for helping me with that technique today. I wouldn't have figured it out without you."

Sasuke gave a slight nod. "Just keep practicing, and you'll get it eventually."

Kakashi, observing their growing camaraderie, smiled to himself. He knew that as long as they supported each other, they could overcome any obstacle.

---

On the morning of their next mission, as they prepared to face Zabuza and his mysterious ally, Sasuke felt a renewed sense of purpose. With his teammates by his side, he was confident in their ability to tackle the challenges ahead.

As they ventured out, Kakashi reminded them, "Trust in each other and stay focused. Remember, no matter what happens, you're stronger together."

The three nodded, ready to prove themselves and face whatever dangers awaited.
