Were they enemies the next time they met?
This time, who was truly on the side of justice?
Sasuke did not represent Konoha, nor did he represent villains like the Akatsuki. He directly represented the entire Land of Fire.
Most helplessly, Sasuke truly had the qualifications to do so.
Whether in strength or status, Sasuke was no ordinary man.
Had the Uchiha been exterminated? Yes and no. The only Uchiha left who possessed the Sharingan were Sasuke Uchiha and Sarada Uchiha.
But the Uchiha had once been powerful, and their influence ran deep.
Moreover, Sasuke's strength was beyond question. In the current Shinobi World, he was undoubtedly among the very best.
Not to mention that the eyes Sasuke Uchiha had fixed on them had become Rinnegan—Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan at that.
Although Tsunade and Kakashi did not know what the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan signified, they understood perfectly well what a complete Rinnegan meant.
The several Otsutsuki Clan members who had recently come to Konoha had not caused much chaos, but the damage Pain had inflicted upon Konoha remained vivid in their minds.
Sasuke was absolutely not softhearted. If he stood against Konoha, he would show no mercy.
"Sasuke, do you really have to go that far? The village has already treated you well. It overlooked the mistakes you once made..."
"Heh heh, how ridiculous!"
Sasuke sneered, staring at Tsunade. The overwhelming pressure and intimidation made her body tremble slightly.
"Did the destruction of the Uchiha truly have nothing to do with the village? What about the Uchiha's assets and grounds? This was a debt Konoha owed the Uchiha!"
Naruto fell silent in the alternate space. As expected, Sasuke still could not let it go.
"Naruto, we have to find a way out of here. Otherwise, Konoha might really fall into Sasuke's hands!"
