Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

"Lord Sasuke, today's Konoha seems a bit different."

Kimimaro said.

Sasuke nodded, "Indeed, it is different!"

How could it be the same? Today is Jiraiya's funeral.

"Lord Sasuke, isn't it too dangerous for us to come near Konoha like this?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke smiled.

The one speaking wasn't Kimimaro, but Juugo.

And it wasn't just Juugo; Suigetsu, Karin, and others were also there.

They had all left Orochimaru's base together with Sasuke.

Except for the Sound Four, Sasuke hadn't brought them along. Everyone else, he had.

After all, this time leaving Orochimaru's base, aside from returning Jiraiya's body to Konoha, there was another purpose for coming to the village.

If Itachi were to be captured or imprisoned, Sasuke would need manpower to rescue him.

And later, when heading to the Hidden Mist Village, he would also need people, so Sasuke brought Juugo and the others along.

Just as Orochimaru had said, having more people indeed makes things easier.

Sasuke glanced in the direction of Konoha's gates.

Entering through the main gate seemed too conspicuous.

Forget it, it's better to sneak in quietly!

At the same time, in Sasuke's sensory perception, Itachi's location was also at the funeral site.

However, he didn't seem to show himself, only silently paying his respects to Jiraiya in the shadows.

As a rogue ninja returning to Konoha, not being captured meant Itachi had been somewhat accepted.

But the fact that he couldn't appear openly suggested that the level of acceptance wasn't very high.

So what was the point of returning to Konoha?

He could only hide in the shadows anyway.

Forget it. Since Itachi was fine, that was enough.

Sasuke planned to go to the funeral site and, after everyone left, place Jiraiya's body there.

But at this moment, Sasuke felt something strange, as if someone was watching him.

Kimimaro and the others, scattered around the cemetery, were also on edge.

This was Konoha.

And there were so many Konoha ninjas here paying their respects to Jiraiya.

If they were discovered, it would be hard for them to leave.

Yet Sasuke stood boldly on a utility pole.

From this angle, as long as no one suddenly turned around, they shouldn't notice Sasuke.

But what if someone did?

However, even without turning around...

Naruto, who was mourning in the crowd, heard Kurama's voice.

"Naruto... that guy is here."

"Who?"

"Isn't he the one you've always wanted to bring back to Konoha? Who do you think?"

Hearing this, Naruto was stunned.

Sasuke?

It's Sasuke?

He focused his senses. After learning Sage Mode, Naruto's ability to sense chakra had greatly improved.

He could easily detect the chakra fluctuations around him.

Sure enough, that familiar chakra fluctuation appeared.

Suddenly, Naruto looked up, turning his gaze behind him.

On a distant utility pole, Sasuke's figure indeed appeared.

Standing high above, Sasuke calmly looked down.

Naruto's expression shifted from intense to calm in less than two seconds.

Being able to adjust his mindset so quickly showed how much Naruto had changed.

He was no longer the same as before.

Their eyes met, and Sasuke was surprised that Naruto had noticed him.

His own ability to conceal chakra fluctuations wasn't weak.

For Naruto to detect him so keenly meant that Naruto hadn't been wasting his time either.

He had grown much stronger.

But since he was discovered, so be it.

Sasuke decided not to hide anymore.

He jumped down from the high pole.

Due to the height, Sasuke descended slowly, landing near Jiraiya's tombstone.

Seeing Sasuke's action, Kurama inside Naruto was puzzled.

"What is this guy trying to do?"

"Does he want to cause more trouble? Killing Jiraiya wasn't enough, and now he won't even let the dead rest?"

Before Kurama could finish...

Sasuke had already landed in front of the tombstone.

Seeing the sudden appearance, all the Konoha ninjas were stunned.

When they saw the Uchiha clan symbol on Sasuke's back...

A look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

This is...

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

In the crowd, Sakura was the first to shout Sasuke's name.

Then everyone else was stunned. Uchiha Sasuke, this guy appearing here at this time.

Was he seeking death?

Or had he come to flaunt his power after killing Jiraiya?

Tsunade clenched her fists, her eyes filled with killing intent.

But in the next second, Sasuke took out a scroll and unsealed it in front of everyone.

In an instant, Jiraiya's body appeared.

Seeing Jiraiya's body, countless Konoha ninjas were shocked.

They stared at the body in front of the tombstone, which had clearly been carefully prepared.

It was evident that someone had put thought into it.

After placing the body down, Sasuke glanced back at Naruto, then turned to Tsunade.

"Alright, I've returned the body. I'm leaving."

As he spoke, Sasuke glanced at Itachi hiding in the shadows.

He sighed softly.

Just as he was about to leave, Naruto suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

Sasuke stopped and looked back at Naruto. "What else is there, Naruto?"

Naruto slowly raised his head. "Why did you do this?"

Hearing this, Sasuke was momentarily stunned. Why did he do this?

Why did he return Jiraiya's body?

Or was Naruto asking about something else?

"Are you asking why I returned Jiraiya's body, or are you asking about something else?"

Seeing Sasuke playing dumb, Tsunade's chakra erupted instantly.

"Of course, the question is... why did you and the Akatsuki kill Jiraiya!"

As Tsunade roared, she stepped toward Sasuke.

At the moment she finished speaking, a powerful punch shot toward Sasuke's face.

In that instant, a figure blocked Sasuke.

Boom!

A terrifying force erupted, shaking the surrounding air.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Konoha cemetery, Tsunade's punch would have been even more devastating.

The one who blocked her punch wasn't Sasuke himself, but a strange-looking individual.

With orange hair and half of his face resembling a monster, his massive arm alone stopped Tsunade's fist.

Tsunade was slightly taken aback.

Who is this?

Juugo raised an eyebrow, feeling Tsunade's incredible strength.

"So this is the Hokage of Konoha? Her strength... is indeed impressive. Lord Sasuke... let's go!"
