Chapter 24 - The new Hokage

Sasuke then remembered that Itachi told him that he needed to kill his best friend to awaken the Mangekyou.

Tetsuya knew what Sasuke was thinking so he decided to correct Sasuke's thoughts. He needed to say it in front of Yuzume too since Tetsuya was now the closest person to him unless he gets some weird ideas to kill Tetsuya.

"Killing your best friend won't help you awaken the Mangekyou."

Sasuke was startled that tetsuya saw through his thoughts and began to ask why.

"Well, to explain it simply, if you had a friend who was precious enough for you to activate the Mangekyou if he dies, you won't be able to kill him since he's precious to you and conversely, if you could kill that friend, it means that he wasn't precious enough for you to activate the Mangekyou to begin with.

All of the people who activates the Mangekyou are people who witnessed the death of their most loved ones so in most cases, the Mangekyou can be considered an accident.

Itachi most likely didn't activate his Mangekyou by slaughtering the Uchiha clan but by witnessing his best friend Uchiha Shisui's death.

He probably became an extreme person after awakening the Mangekyou since all people with the Mangekyou become lunatics with extremist tendencies caused by the extreme emotion they felt when they awaken it."

Yuzume and Sasuke then began to ponder about the Mangekyou and soon came to the conclusion that they couldn't awaken the Mangekyou for now since they needed a price that they couldn't afford.

Kakashi was pondering if he had the Mangekyou since what he got was the two magatama sharingan but it mysteriously evolved to a three Magatama when he killed Rin.

1 month later.

Jiraya and Naruto successfully brought back Tsunade.

Itachi and Kisame didn't attack Naruto until they found Tsunade since they were being pursued by a group of jonin and anbu.

Tsunade was able to successfully get rid of her Hemophobia after Naruto got hurt by Kisame's sword so she had protect him since Naruto got hurt protecting her in the first place while Jiraya and Shizune were being stalled by Itachi.

After they clashed for a while, Itachi told Kisame to retreat under the pretext that they shouldn't push them too hard because the Akatsuki isn't still ready to act for now since Itachi's goal was just to raise awareness of the Akatsuki power to Konoha.

...

As Tsunade was heading to the senju clan leader for greetings, she didn't immediately notice Tetsuya since he was still a pre-pubescent teen and changed very much since five years ago when they last met.

The clan leader then introduced Tetsuya to Tsunade since he was the genius of the Senju clan but as she heard his name, Tsunade suddenly showed a wicked smile which caused Tetsuya's spine to shiver.

The clan leader noticed that Tsunade was eyeing Tetsuya so he couldn't help but ask about their relationship. While Tsunade promised to not tattle on Tetsuya five years ago, Tetsuya was now an adult so the clan leader wouldn't mind it too much.

Tsunade then proceeded to tell the tale of drunk Tetsuya to the clan leader while Tetsuya himself was just covering his face in shame wanting to be buried in a hole.

Tetsuya hasn't drunk since then since Hirata and Yuzume didn't want to and he had kids in the house so he abstained from doing so because it would be a bad example for them since he was still a minor until recently.

A few days later after Tsunade officially became the Hokage, Tetsuya sent an anonymous file to her showing all of the information on the members of the Akatsuki with their powers, history and goals of the Akatsuki. Including the Eye of the moon plan, Madara's resurrection and Obito being the mastermind behind the Kyubi rebellion. He also wrote that the eye of the moon in itself was a scam to resurrect the mother of the Sage of six paths.

There is only four years at most until the start of the fourth Great War so I don't need to care about changing the events in cannon anymore.

Although, the cannon was already in the drain when Orochimaru and Kabuto died.

I have to stop Madara from resurrecting at all cost since he's the only person I don't see myself having a winning chance against even If I used my full power.

JIraya who saw in the files that Nagato was just the puppet leader of the Akatsuki who would be used to resurrect Madara wanted to barge in the Amegakure village but after being convinced by Tsunade, he stopped.

While they didn't take the files at face value because of the anonymous nature of it, they still decided that it would be wise to consider it as true since they didn't have much information about the Akatsuki and it was their only lead for now.

All of the Jonin were then made aware of the content of the files since they would be the main fighting force against the Akatsuki.

Kakashi was also made aware of the possibility that Obito was the mastermind behind the Kyubi rebellion. He then became determined to stop Obito's plan since apparently, Obito was his friend and he would stop him personally.

Yuzume who already knew about Itachi being a double agent didn't show much emotion and still quietly showed his determination to kill Itachi.

On another note, the Suna ninjas were finally released after negotiations were done between Konoha and Suna.

Karin also became Tsunade's disciple after Tetsuya bribed her with a 3 million ryo sake bottle. Although Tsunade would've accepted to take her as a disciple even without the bribe since she has a soft spot for the Uzumaki, she just made a joke by saying that she wanted a very expensive Sake in exchange which Tetsuya gave her.

Sakura didn't become her disciple since Tetsuya completely forgot to recommend her to Tsunade because he never saw her once ever since she became a genin.

Naruto and Sasuke both became chunin since they already had the necessary strength and were a big help for suppressing Gaara during the Konoha crush.

Team 7 was then officially disbanded. Although Naruto and Karin still lived with Tetsuya while Sasuke was still training daily with him to try and master the lightning chakra mode.
