Sasuke, undoubtedly, is an extraordinary individual.
His readiness to seek Bai's assistance and share his objectives makes him remarkable.
An act that implies even if one avoids the demise of adults, they achieve nothing substantial.
Although Master Zabucho may require Bai's help, he has yet to disclose his motives.
For a fleeting moment, Bai's eyes appeared slightly misty.
She made the decision to swiftly don a mask.
"Excellent!" she exclaimed.
Subsequently, Sasuke observed the fallen Anbu members.
"Do you have a way to discern his identity from his breath? Otherwise, you might be impersonating an Anbu ninja..." Sasuke inquired.
"Master Sasuke..." the response came, and the speaker promptly lifted the Anbu members.
"Rest assured, I have a solution!" he assured.
Acknowledging this, Sasuke nodded, as Shiro vanished into the distance.
As she observed Bai's departure, Sasuke was left perplexed.
"Did Shiro just address herself as Master Sasuke?"
Was it possible that he had misheard?
Shaking off the thought, Sasuke gazed at the decapitation knife in his hand.
Deciding to return the weapon to its place, he brushed off any further consideration of Bai's query.
If Bai had discovered information about the Hokage building, she would have reached out to him.
Since she stated no issues, then there should be none of great significance.
Nightfall had descended, and Sasuke needed to return promptly.
Every moment was precious to him in these times.
In the evenings, he was occupied not only with practicing Sharingan but also refining mantras and Chakra.
With these thoughts in mind, Sasuke yearned to swiftly make his way back.
Meanwhile, at Hokage's office.
Kakashi wore a peculiar expression as he looked at the Third Hokage.
"Are you telling the truth?" Third Hokage couldn't quite believe Kakashi's words.
In one reading, Kakashi effortlessly developed Raikiri himself.
Were such ninja still human?
They seemed almost like monsters!
"I must admit that I was skeptical at first, but after witnessing him turn the Body Flicker Technique into the Lightning Style Body Flicker Technique... I believe there may indeed be monsters in this world."
"And this monster is right before my eyes!" Kakashi felt somewhat struck.
In the past, he too was an acclaimed prodigy in Konoha, and he still carried a strong sense of pride.
However, encountering Sasuke shattered that pride entirely.
He wondered!
Could he truly be considered a genuine prodigy?
Individuals like Sasuke were the true prodigies.
Kakashi, in comparison, was merely an ordinary ninja.
His assertion that a real genius, such as Sasuke, could take on any form of ninjutsu was enough to leave many in the ninja world in disbelief.
Konoha's famed technician, Hatake Kakashi, who had copied thousands of ninjutsu, now considered himself merely an average ninja.
It was unthinkable that someone of Kakashi's stature would describe himself as ordinary.
Had anyone ever witnessed an ordinary ninja develop Raikiri?
The notion that even a ninja like Kakashi could be deemed ordinary left many flabbergasted.
However, things were different now.
With only Sasuke remaining in the Uchiha clan, the prospect of him becoming Hokage didn't seem so far-fetched.
The once-great Uchiha family had dwindled to a small lineage within Konoha, incapable of challenging the status of other prominent clans like Hyuga, Sarutobi, or the Yamanaka, Akamichi, Nara, and others.
The idea of an Uchiha becoming Hokage was previously inconceivable, but the situation had evolved.
Only Sasuke remained in the Uchiha clan, making it much easier to envision him as a future Hokage.
Hiruzen, at this moment, was rendered speechless.
A recently acquired ninjutsu had already evolved into a Lightning Style ninjutsu.
Such a talent defied belief.
"Third Generation, Sasuke's talent is likely unparalleled in Konoha's history!"
"The former Lightning Style was already impressive, but he grasped Chidori at a glance, and now the current Lightning Style is instantaneous!"
"With proper cultivation, Sasuke will undoubtedly become a formidable ninja in the future, perhaps even the most powerful Hokage in Konoha's history!"
Upon hearing this, Third Generation was left stunned for a moment.
An Uchiha as Konoha's Hokage?
The idea had never crossed his mind before, nor would it have occurred to nine out of ten people in Konoha.
But now, the situation was different.
With only Sasuke left in the Uchiha clan, accepting him as Hokage didn't seem as impossible.
After all, the once-proud Uchiha clan was now reduced to just Sasuke.
Within Konoha, they were no longer a prominent clan and couldn't challenge the status of other influential families like the Hyuga, Sarutobi, or the Yamanaka, Akamichi, Nara, and others.
Considering this, it didn't seem as impossible to accept an Uchiha as Hokage.
Furthermore, if Sasuke was trained diligently and nurtured properly, he might even embody the Will of Fire.
Hiruzen took a drag from his cigarette and smiled.
"You're quite optimistic about Sasuke."
Kakashi smiled back, "Third Generation, if there's anyone in Konoha capable of inheriting your ninjutsu, it must be Sasuke!"
"His talent makes him a versatile ninja, much like yourself."
Hiruzen's smile broadened.
"I see what you're getting at."
Was Kakashi's intention so apparent that Hiruzen noticed it?
The Uchiha's position in Konoha was sensitive, but if Third Generation embraced Sasuke, he would be safe in the village.
"After the Chūnin exam is over, I'll train Sasuke well."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this response.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Go, take good care of Sasuke. With the Chūnin exam approaching, try to offer him more support and let him feel the warmth of Konoha."
Kakashi nodded in understanding.
And so, at home, Sasuke sneezed.
"Who's talking about me?"
He rubbed his nose and continued focusing on the cultivation of his Sharingan.
Though he had just begun this training, Sasuke could already sense his ocular power increasing, albeit slowly.
If the trend continued, he might double his pupil power overnight.
Yet, an increase in pupil power didn't necessarily imply a rapid opening of Mangekyō Sharingan.
According to Sasuke's estimation, it would take at least three hours of daily practice to evolve his Sharingan into Mangekyō.
At this rate, it might take a month to achieve Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, it seemed unlikely to happen during the Chūnin exam.
