Naruto: If Sasuke Awakens Entry System

Hydrangea was taken aback. It wasn't until now that she realized... Sasuke had been merely observing the entire time!

Fuming with anger, Hydrangea jumped up and down, "Damn it, Sasuke, you jerk! Why didn't you help us dig earlier?"

Tenten was speechless. In the urgency of the moment, she hadn't noticed. If the three of them had dug together, perhaps they could have escaped.

Sasuke didn't respond. Instead, he lifted his cloak and unsheathed the Kusanagi sword from his waist.

With the sword in hand, a murderous intent filled the air.

Hydrangea's eyes widened. What? Sasuke's aura had transformed. If he was a lazy kitten before, now he was a tiger descending from the mountain!

Tenten shivered. What a terrifying aura. This Sasuke is no ordinary person...

At that moment, the ant monsters continued to swarm, like an endless tide.

Hydrangea's face darkened. Even though Sasuke was skilled, he was likely powerless against so many ant monsters...

Alas, it seemed they were doomed after all.

But then, it happened.

Zheng!

The sword was unsheathed, and the killing intent was unleashed.

With a single swing, countless wind blades surged toward the ant monsters.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, the underground passage became a scene of carnage!

Broken limbs and bodies lay everywhere.

Hydrangea gasped in disbelief. How could this be possible?

It was just swordsmanship, yet it wielded such devastating power?

Tenten was equally shocked. Her family ran a weapons shop, and she had witnessed sword masters in action, but their skills were like fireflies compared to the sun and moon of what Sasuke had just done!

Swish!

Sasuke sheathed his sword.

At that moment, the cloak he had lifted fell back into place.

The silence was so profound that you could hear a pin drop!

Hydrangea looked at Sasuke. His presence was remarkable, but it was a pity his face was ordinary; otherwise, he would have been truly captivating!

Sasuke curled his lips, "Alright, you can continue."

Hydrangea tilted her head, confused by his words.

Tenten immediately understood, rolled up her sleeves, and resumed digging with renewed vigor.

Hydrangea then realized they were being asked to continue digging an exit!

After a few more digs, Hydrangea was indignant, "Sasuke, if you had this power, why didn't you use it earlier?"

Tenten perked up, curious.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Wasn't he suspected? This was good, but what excuse should he give to convince Hydrangea...

Hydrangea put her hands on her hips, "Hey, Sasuke, I'm asking you a question."

Sasuke replied solemnly, "The move I used is called 'World-Turning, Nine Deaths, Five Lakes and Four Seas, Supreme Buddha Slash,' a forbidden sword technique that can only be used three times in a lifetime!"

Hydrangea was incredulous, "What?"

She couldn't believe there was a sword technique with such a long name!

Damn it, Sasuke was playing them for fools again!

Tenten touched her chin and nodded thoughtfully, "So that's it, 'World-Turning, Nine Deaths, Five Lakes and Four Seas, Supreme Buddha Slash,' no wonder it's so powerful!"

Hydrangea was shocked. What? Someone could remember such a long name instantly? Terrifying, truly terrifying. Is this the foundation of a great nation's ninja?

No, no, no, Tenten couldn't possibly believe Sasuke's nonsense, right?

Hydrangea crossed her arms, thinking, "Great nation ninjas are so gullible... Impossible!"

Could it be that Sasuke really knows such a technique, but she herself is ignorant and has never heard of it?

Soon, Sasuke and the others saw daylight again.

Tenten reunited with Neji and Rock Lee.

Hydrangea patted Sasuke's shoulder and whispered, "Sasuke, you deliberately gave a long list of move names to hide the information, right?"

Sasuke remained silent.

Hydrangea's mind raced, "I know, I know everything."

"What do you know?"

Hydrangea raised her chin and said mysteriously, "You're the secret agent sent by the 'Angel' to ensure the mission of gathering intelligence on the Jinchūriki is foolproof, right?"

Sasuke observed Hydrangea's expression closely and found she wasn't lying. He replied lightly, "It's good that you know this alone. If it gets out..."

Hydrangea was excited, "I understand. You're worried the 'Angel' will blame you, right? Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"

Sasuke was very satisfied.

At that moment, something strange happened.

The earth trembled, and dark clouds swept in from a distance.

Neji exclaimed, "Oh no, it's a sandstorm! But this sandstorm is strange; I suspect there's something fishy about it."

"Byakugan, activate!"

After ten seconds, Neji's eyes widened, "Not good, the sandstorm is indeed controlled by someone. I suspect that person is the assassin!"

Tenten added, "So, this sandstorm is a trap to lure Gaara out?"

Neji said solemnly, "It's very likely!"

Sasuke's eyes shifted slightly. He knew from the intelligence of the Ryūnosuke Society that Gaara had become the Kazekage, and he also knew there were factions within the Sand Village that opposed Gaara...

But resorting to assassination was not a decent method!

As the sandstorm approached, Tenten summoned an iron tortoise shell to shield everyone from the sand and dust.

Hydrangea, familiar with the process, blurted out a thank you and settled into the tortoise shell with ease.

The wind howled, and the tortoise shell rustled with the yellow sand.

With a click, the faint light of a glow stick illuminated the inside of the tortoise shell.

Sasuke and the others formed a circle.

Tenten suddenly had an idea, "It'll be a while before the sandstorm passes, and it's so gloomy here. Why don't we each tell a ghost story to pass the time?"

Hydrangea shivered, "I object!"

Tenten teased, "Hey, are you scared?"

Hydrangea blushed. She was indeed terrified of ghosts, but her pride wouldn't let her show weakness.

"Nonsense, I'm not afraid! Fine, today I'll show you the courage of our small country's ninjas!"

And so, the rustling storm, the low murmurs, and of course, Hydrangea's screams intertwined into an unforgettable sound of friendship...

Three hours later, just after the sandstorm passed, Sasuke and his group were dug out by the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki, Fu.

Fu was ecstatic, dancing with joy, "Wow, there are people in the tortoise shell!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, feeling a headache. It was the troublesome person he had met in the candidate restaurant a few days ago.

Fu saw Sasuke and jumped three feet high with joy, "Hey, we meet again, friend!"

That day, Sasuke had seen that Fu was as carefree as Naruto, and he had unexpectedly agreed to be Fu's friend.

He thought they would never meet again, but he didn't expect to see her so soon.

At that moment, Fu ran to pester Hydrangea, "Hey, hey, be my friend..."

Hydrangea's forehead creased, "You're so annoying!"

Suddenly, Neji's face changed drastically, "Oh no, Gaara was ambushed! Tenten, Lee, let's go!"

Fu, kind-hearted by nature, immediately followed.

Hydrangea hesitated, "Sasuke, we'll go too!"

Sasuke feigned puzzlement, "Why? This is a good opportunity to make the great nation ninjas feel pain."

Hydrangea scratched her head for a long time, "I'm repaying the Konoha ninjas. Yes, we small country ninjas are upright and honest, so we don't owe them any favors."

Sasuke laughed inwardly, what a stubborn girl!

On the other side.

Gaara pleaded sincerely, "Master Yashamaru, please consider the Sand Village and abandon this rebellion plan."

Master Yashamaru replied, "Gaara, with you here, the Sand Village will never be at peace. So, I ask you to die today!"

As soon as the words fell, a chakra chain pierced into Gaara's abdomen.

Master Yashamaru continued, "Next, I will extract Shukaku. Be prepared, Gaara!"
