Why Would I, Sasuke, Defect from Konoha? The Listen to Advice System

Konoha.

Ninja Academy.

"My name is Kakashi Hatake.

As for my likes and dislikes...

Well... I don't really feel like telling you...

That's about it, I suppose..."

Leaning against the railing, the elite Jonin of Konoha, Kakashi, spoke with a lazy expression.

As soon as those words left his mouth, the two boys and one girl sitting on the steps opposite him rolled their eyes, speechless.

What kind of hellish self-introduction was that?!

"I'll go, I'll go first...

My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I like ramen.

What I hate is the three minutes spent waiting for the ramen to cook...

My dream is to surpass the Hokage!

I want the whole village to acknowledge my existence..."

With his spiky blonde hair, Naruto rubbed the hard-earned Konoha Headband on his forehead and shouted with burning passion.

He was full of spirit, his momentum soaring like a rainbow...

"My name is Sakura Haruno...

As for what I like, or rather, who I like..."

Pink-haired Sakura followed, her face turning into that of a girl in the throes of first love as she spoke.

Her cheeks flushed, her beautiful eyes shimmering, she looked shyly and nervously at the black-haired boy beside her...

This caused Naruto, standing to the side, to burn with jealousy, his eyes bulging as if they were about to spit fire...

Sakura was the girl he liked, after all!

"And now, the last one..."

Watching the infatuated Sakura, Kakashi sighed and shifted his gaze.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha...

Things I like or dislike, my hobbies—none of that is important!

What matters is that I have an ambition and a dream.

I am going to kill that man!!

And then...

I will become Hokage and restore the name of the Uchiha..."

Sasuke rested his chin on his hands, staring ahead with a sharp, meaningful gaze.

As his voice faded, a gentle breeze brushed against them...

His black, choppy hair swayed in the wind, revealing his devastatingly handsome face...

"So cool..."

Sakura, already smitten, stared at his handsome profile, whispering with a dazed smile.

"Become Hokage!!"

The pupil of Kakashi's exposed right eye suddenly constricted, and his breathing hitched.

For a fleeting moment, he felt as if he saw that familiar boy shouting at him...

"Damn it, Sasuke, you guy...

Your dream is to become Hokage too! Why...

Why does even your dream have to be exactly the same as mine!

I don't care who you want to kill, but I will never acknowledge you as Hokage..."

Hearing this, Naruto jumped up, huffing in anger, his eyes filled with extreme grievance and resentment.

It was already hard enough that Sakura liked Sasuke, but now he was even trying to steal his dream...

How could he, Naruto Uzumaki, accept such a cruel reality?!

"Heh, why shouldn't I become Hokage...

When it comes to dreams, everyone is equal!

Besides, Naruto, we are just rivals competing against each other for now...

Or are you saying that you're afraid you can't beat me??"

"If that's the case, I suggest you change your dream as soon as possible..."

Sasuke looked up at Naruto and said earnestly, his gaze sharp and resolute.

As a transmigrator, how could he ever be content with being second best?

That's right, this Sasuke was from Blue Star!

After transmigrating last night and spending the entire night in deep contemplation...

He finally decided that his goal would be to become Hokage!

As the saying goes: ignore the advice of your elders, and you'll suffer the consequences.

In his previous life, being born ordinary made it as difficult as ascending to heaven to get ahead!

Every struggle and act of resistance had been crushed by the cruelty of reality...

Now that he had transmigrated and possessed a perfect starting hand that was once beyond his reach in his past life.

Why on earth should he, Sasuke Uchiha, defect from Konoha?

Who made the rule that a transmigrated Sasuke must defect from the village and seek revenge?

What about those who transmigrate as extras? As villains? As people from other villages?

His identity was given by the transmigration, but he had to live his own life!

Why should his transmigrated life be shackled by the plot?

In this life, Itachi had already shouldered everything to pave the way for him...

According to Itachi's plan, all Sasuke had to do was carry his hatred and follow the steps to become a Konoha Jonin.

As a Konoha ninja, he would kill his S-rank rogue brother to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

He would receive his final gift to upgrade to the Eternal Mangekyo, gaining both fame and fortune...

In an era without Hashirama Senju, Sasuke would be the second Madara Uchiha!

He would be at the very pinnacle of the Ninja World, a Kage-level existence...

Even when facing the Rinnegan, he wouldn't be without the power to fight back!

Although Itachi's goal also included protecting Konoha, so what?

As long as he became Hokage, those goals wouldn't conflict at all...

It was a massive, heaven-sent fortune...

Throughout history, looking at both reality and fiction.

How many people could sacrifice everything for their brother, bearing suffering and enduring it all alone?

And yet, Itachi Uchiha had done exactly that...

This wasn't some target for revenge; this was clearly a selfless, devoted Elder Brother!

Furthermore, the destruction of the clan and his own death were the choices of his cheap father, Fugaku...

If he had truly wanted to resist, how could Itachi, who had just awakened his Mangekyo, have been a match for Fugaku's Mangekyo?

Even with Obito present, Fugaku wouldn't have been without a shred of a chance.

Yet he chose to surrender, accepting Itachi's choice alongside his cheap mother and meeting their deaths together.

What a display of fatherly love and filial piety...

And now he was expected to avenge them? What a joke...

With that kind of time, he might as well have more children and burn more paper offerings for his uncle and grandparents...

Therefore, Sasuke couldn't find a single reason to defect from Konoha!

Even Orochimaru returned to Konoha in the later stages, so why would he go out there?

To suffer more beatings from society and look for trouble?

To be played in circles by Itachi and Obito, only to come back, lose an arm, and assist the Seventh Generation Naruto?

To end up as a babysitter for Boruto and get killed off by the plot?

What a joke...

Anyway, with the Sage of Six Paths backing him up, he could always just commit suicide with Naruto to trigger a power-up...

He wouldn't dare ruin such a perfect start...

In this life, wouldn't it be better to just follow his Elder Brother's script?

The peace of Konoha was bought with the sacrifice of his clan; why shouldn't he, Sasuke, enjoy it?

Konoha owed the Uchiha a Hokage...

The position of the Sixth Hokage was something Sasuke was determined to obtain!

They won't give it to him?

Then he would just take it himself!

The only drawback was the god-awful Boruto era, where Sasuke was eventually swallowed by the God Tree and suffered a miserable exit.

He had to change this ending!

Therefore, becoming Hokage and leveraging the power of Konoha was imperative.

[Unique mission issued: I am the Sixth Hokage.

Abruptly, just as Sasuke's thoughts were racing, three mechanical voices rang out in his mind.

This caused Sasuke's pupils to constrict sharply, his breathing turning ragged.

His Golden Finger had arrived!

He had originally been worried about being unable to awaken his Mangekyo after Itachi's death, as well as the crises of the Boruto era.

Now, with the system's support, he was set.

He was miles ahead of the rest.
