Chapter 234 How strong is Ye Yu now?
At the gate of Konoha Village, when Kakashi and Sasuke, who had just returned from a mission, were registering with the gatekeeper, Izumo and Kotetsu said mysteriously, "When you go to the market street, someone you've been missing will come back."
Kakashi paused for a moment, while Sasuke, standing next to Kakashi, seemed to realize something.
With a slight smile, he said, "Is that guy back? I wonder how much he's improved in these three years."
Sasuke was looking forward to it.
Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi instantly understood who Izumo Kotetsu was referring to.
However, the two did not go to find Naruto.
Instead, he went to the Hokage room first.
At this point, Sasuke is different from the one in the original story; he is more focused on the tasks in the village.
In fact, his strength was already enough to suppress Uchiha Itachi at this point, but he did not immediately seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi.
Or rather, seeking revenge against Itachi Uchiha is no longer his top priority.
Now he is not only the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, but also Sakura's fiancé and the future head of their family. It's impossible for him to just leave the village to seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi.
Meanwhile, the Sand Village is about to hold the Chunin Exams.
Temari, as an envoy of Sunagakure, delivered the invitation.
Since Orochimaru attacked Konoha, Sunagakure and Konoha have formed an alliance.
Therefore, the two villages would take turns sending ninjas to participate in each Chunin Exam.
Meanwhile, Konoha sent Shikamaru to represent the village and discuss the procedures for the Chunin Exams with Temari.
After the two entered the Hokage's office, they and Tsunade took the relevant documents. When they were about to leave, Sasuke and Kakashi walked in.
Seeing Shikamaru, Sasuke smiled and said, "Shikamaru, are you in charge of the Chunin Exam this time?"
Upon seeing Temari, Sasuke knew she must have come for the Chunin Exams.
Shikamaru said lazily, "Yeah, it's a bit of a hassle. Sasuke, do you want to come and help me out?"
Sasuke waved his hand. "No, I have many missions to complete."
As the two chatted and laughed, Kakashi handed the mission instructions to Tsunade.
This time, the two were going to carry out an A-level mission.
Although they encountered some ninjas during the mission, Kakashi and Sasuke, working together, could defeat only a handful of people in the ninja world.
The task was completed without any difficulty.
When handing in the mission, Kakashi asked, "Hokage-sama, I heard that Jiraiya-sama has returned?"
Tsunade glanced at the mission description and nodded, "Yes, I'm back."
Standing next to Shikamaru, Temari looked at Sasuke and thought to herself, "This guy is growing really fast."
"In just three years, he's already made a name for himself in the ninja world. I'm afraid he's the strongest among his peers, even stronger than Gaara."
At this point, Sasuke was indeed stronger than Gaara, after all, he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and could maintain Sage Mode for about 10 minutes.
It was not difficult for him to suppress Gaara.
During the Chunin Exams, after Gaara fully transformed into his tailed beast form, Sasuke was completely overwhelmed.
But before Gaara fully transforms into his tailed beast form, he is no match for Sasuke during the Chunin Exams.
Now, even if Gaara were to fully transform into a tailed beast, he would still be no match for Sasuke.
His Mangekyō Sharingan is specifically designed to counter the tailed beasts.
Even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's current strength is enough to suppress Gaara.
The reason Temari noticed Sasuke so quickly was that Sasuke had become a renowned figure in the ninja world over the past three years.
The shock to the ninja world was no less than that of Minato Namikaze back then.
Moreover, their names are very similar.
Or rather, Sasuke's name was actually given to him by people based on Minato Namikaze's "Yellow Flash".
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Sakura, Jiraiya, and Naruto entered the Hokage's office.
Sasuke didn't show much excitement when he saw Naruto, whom he hadn't seen for three years, but he was very happy inside.
"Naruto, I haven't seen you for three years. You've changed a lot."
Naruto was very happy when he saw Sasuke at first and walked forward, but when he saw Sasuke's clothes, he felt helpless and said, "Why are you getting more and more handsome?"
Naruto was a little annoyed.
Naruto originally thought he had grown up and matured, and that he was already quite grown-up.
Unexpectedly, compared to Sasuke, he became ordinary again, and the two still did not get closer in appearance.
As Sasuke grew up, he didn't become ugly; instead, he became more mature and handsome than before.
Standing next to Naruto, Sakura smiled when she heard Naruto's strange words, "You, you've only grown taller in these three years, but your brain hasn't grown much, has it?"
At this moment, Sakura exudes the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Jiraiya was also somewhat surprised to see Sakura. He hadn't expected that Sakura would be so beautiful after growing up. Apart from still being flat-chested, she was definitely a great beauty.
He was even a little envious of Sasuke.
Naruto's height has indeed increased significantly since then, growing from less than 1.5 meters to 1.66 meters, although he is still not as tall as Sasuke.
But he's already taller than Sakura.
He used to be shorter than Sakura.
Now he is 1.66 meters tall, while Sakura is only 1.62 meters tall.
Sasuke is still the tallest of the three, standing at 1.7 meters.
Temari, who had been watching the group, was stunned by the three of them.
Among the three, even Sakura gave her a very powerful aura.
Naruto walked up to Sasuke and patted him on the shoulder. "Sasuke, I often hear your name when I'm traveling."
"But that's because I'm not in the village. Once I start my mission, I'll surpass you very quickly and I'll definitely get a more famous name than yours."
Sasuke did not refute this.
He didn't care about his title, after all, it was given to him by others, and he himself didn't care.
However, Naruto was extremely envious of Sasuke's ability to earn the title of "Blue Flash".
After the three chatted for a while, Naruto glanced around the office and realized there was no one he wanted to see more.
"Grandma Tsunade, where is Yoru?"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Temari, who had been silent all along, looked puzzled.
Because she had never heard of the name Yoru, Yoru had been staying by Tsunade's side as a bodyguard for the past three years.
He didn't go out on many missions, so he didn't make a name for himself.
The fact that Temari didn't even know his name is proof of this.
Jiraiya asked curiously, "By the way, what about that kid Yoru? I haven't heard a single word about him in the past three years. What's going on?"
Sasuke looked at the roof and smiled, saying, "He should be on the roof right now."
"In the past three years, he hasn't really carried out any missions; he's been staying in the village protecting the Hokage."
It is precisely because Ye Yu has rarely made a move in the past three years that no one knows just how strong he really is.
Even though Yoru frequently sparred with Sasuke and Sakura over the past three years, he has always kept his strength at the Kage level.
It has never exceeded the standard.
