Every time she fought others, they all had some divine weapon or legendary blade, while she herself was just swinging a little kunai in the wind, all disheveled.
For example, in her last fight with Orochimaru if she had had a weapon on par with the Kusanagi Blade, forget taking him down directly, but at least he wouldn't have handled it so calmly.
Originally, she had been thinking of finding someone to forge a weapon suited to her once she got back. Now she could save herself the trouble.
After leaving the Senju ancestral residence feeling fully satisfied, she happened to run into Kakashi, who seemed lost on the path of life, his expression slightly dark and clearly in a bad mood.
Furina went up to ask and learned that Sasuke had used the ninjutsu Kakashi taught him to fight Naruto. Using the ninjutsu he wanted to protect his comrades with against his comrades no wonder Kakashi felt this way.
"So it's already reached this point. Next should be Sasuke leaving the village to go to Orochimaru..."
After learning this from Kakashi, Furina began thinking about her subsequent actions. She had no intention of stopping him from going to Orochimaru.
Because only there could Sasuke grow quickly enough that he wouldn't fall too far behind Naruto later on. And this was Sasuke's own decision anyway she didn't like interfering with someone's choices under the guise of "it's for your own good."
However, if she showed up on the actual day, with her strength it would be too easy to bring him back, which might raise suspicions. Then she could just show up the night before offer some support, and show how understanding she was.
"Kakashi-sensei, don't overthink it. Sasuke and Naruto are both young and hot-blooded right now. Going all out when they fight is normal. And doesn't this also show how much they acknowledge each other?"
"They fought using that kind of ninjutsu, and your bar for 'acknowledgment' is pretty high. Besides, aren't you the same age as them? I don't see you being all young and hot-blooded."
Faced with Furina's consolation, Kakashi also smiled helplessly. No matter what Naruto or Sasuke did, she could always find a way to justify it making him, the teacher, seem narrow-minded by comparison.
"Kakashi-sensei is joking. I just don't like superficial things."
"Heh, whatever. Since you're so good with words, find some time in the next few days to go to the hospital and talk to Naruto and Sasuke. Give them some guidance don't let them start fighting again."
After spending so much time together, Kakashi knew Furina's personality all too well. Right now she was definitely full of nonsense with barely a word of truth only a fool would believe her.
"Got it, got it. I'll go there in a couple days. Also, Kakashi-sensei, don't look at me like that it really hurts my feelings."
Kakashi's full disbelief was plain on his face, and seeing it gave Furina a headache. When had she ever given him this impression? She had always spoken the truth!
Sighing as she bid farewell to Kakashi, feeling so hurt, Furina felt she needed some little cakes to comfort herself. So she walked until she reached the familiar sweets shop.
While waiting for the shop owner to prepare them, Furina opened the system again. After so much time, she couldn't quite remember exactly when Sasuke left Konoha she still needed the system to confirm.
Hm, not bad. The latest progress was still paused at the moment Kakashi stopped Sasuke and Naruto from fighting. At the same time, she recalled that Sasuke seemed to have left at night. Looked like there was plenty of time to enjoy her dessert.
"Tsunade: I think I just saw my second grandpa. What do I do."
"Actually it's not impossible that Furina is Tsunade's second grandpa, you guys. Look same white hair, same blue clothes, both super good at Water Style. Most importantly, Furina and Tobirama Senju have never appeared in the same frame at the same time. Doesn't that prove they're the same person?"
"Fufu: Sorry fam, I lied. I said last time that next meeting I'd turn Orochimaru into snake soup but I didn't do it. I apologize to everyone."
"The stuff before is fine. Even though there was no snake soup at me and Fufu's wedding, there was still tons of other delicious food. You could come try some too."
"Bro, you're still here? Last time everyone's piss didn't wake you up? Don't tell me someone has diabetes and you tasted something sweet."

It had to be said silly netizens were the best. Eating snacks while surfing online was just so comfortable, and at the same time constantly gaining Affection Value. It was like playing a game while still making money no slacking off. Super satisfying.
After finishing the sweets, the scene shifted perfectly the latest footage was already nighttime. Four figures slowly emerged from the shadows. Furina recognized all four of them: the Sound Four. Since they were here, it looked like tonight was the night.
Just as Furina had thought, the four quickly found Sasuke and showed him the power of the curse mark. After experiencing it firsthand, Sasuke who had already been wavering finally made his choice.
He had to take revenge. Even if it meant throwing himself into darkness, he wouldn't hesitate. As for comrades? Now carrying the weight of a blood feud, he had no right to enjoy such things.
...
After going home and packing simply, Sasuke set off on the path to leave the village. Perhaps by fate, Sasuke still encountered Sakura.
But this time they weren't close, so facing Sakura's intuitive dissuasion, Sasuke simply knocked her out and didn't bother with her anymore, continuing toward the village outskirts.
"Yo, not sleeping at this hour? Planning to sneak out and train by yourself?"
But before Sasuke could take a few more steps, another figure stepped out from the corner. After seeing who it was clearly, Sasuke couldn't help feeling a bit tense not just because of the other's strength, but also because she was his comrade.
Furina.
"You're right. I now deeply feel my own shortcomings, so I'm going out to keep training and become stronger so I can take revenge on that man."
Furina's previous fight with Orochimaru and Manda Sasuke had already heard about it from Naruto. He had to admit that she was now far beyond him.
She could even stand toe-to-toe with the Orochimaru who killed the Third Hokage. If he had that kind of strength, revenge against Itachi wouldn't be impossible.
As for Naruto though in their earlier hospital fight the Rasengan's power had been stronger than his own, Sasuke was unwilling to admit that even a dead-last like Naruto had surpassed him.
But whether he wanted to admit it or not, Naruto's growth had stimulated him greatly and further strengthened his obsession with becoming stronger.
