In a relatively quiet park.
Yagyu was looking at the mission scroll in his hand, recalling the general details of the Snow Princess mission in his mind.
If it were Team 7 executing this mission, there would definitely be many twists and complications.
But if Yagyu were the one carrying it out, there would absolutely not be many unexpected developments.
Once he reached the Land of Snow, the moment Kazahana Dotō appeared before him would be the moment Dotō ceased to exist.
Just as Yagyu was looking at the mission scroll.
Whoosh.
A sound of air being cut rang out.
Immediately after, Sasuke, dressed in training clothes, appeared beside Yagyu.
"You called me."
Looking at Yagyu, Sasuke asked:
"Are we finally starting?"
Hearing Sasuke's question, Yagyu paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Standing up, he put away the mission scroll and took out two scrolls that were neither too big nor too small.
"Not yet."
Looking at Sasuke, Yagyu said directly:
"The village is currently lacking high-level combat power. I've just been promoted to Chunin, so for a while, I'll probably be busy with various high-level missions."
Handing the two scrolls to Sasuke.
Yagyu continued:
"But since I said I would help you become stronger, I won't go back on my word. Recently, I studied Kakashi-senpai's Chidori and Raikiri, and found that there's a lot of room for development, so I tried improving them."
Hearing this.
Sasuke's expression changed in shock as he turned to look at Yagyu:
"You learned Chidori on your own?"
Yagyu nodded as if it were only natural.
He casually formed hand seals and said:
"This jutsu isn't that difficult. Isn't it normal for me to learn it?"
Chirrrrrr
As his words fell, a terrifying amount of Lightning Release chakra gathered in Yagyu's hand, forming a sharp Lightning Release: Chidori.
"??!!"
Staring blankly at the Chidori in Yagyu's hand, Sasuke's mind was filled with question marks.
He had struggled for an entire month, first learning Lightning Release chakra nature transformation, and only then mastering his first high-level jutsu, Lightning Release: Chidori.
And yet Yagyu had grasped it so effortlessly?
But soon, Sasuke's expression returned to normal.
If it was Yagyu, then it was normal.
Dispersing the Chidori in his hand.
Yagyu continued:
"There are two scrolls. One records a new jutsu I developed based on Lightning Release: Chidori. The other is a training plan I made for you for this period, along with suggestions for developing your Sharingan."
At this point...With a hint of helplessness, Yagyu spoke,
"Also, it's fine for you to follow my training arrangements, but you need to properly explain this to Kakashi-senpai. After all, he is your actual teacher. Even if he's a bit weaker, he has taught you everything he has, understand?"
Holding the two scrolls.
Sasuke's face showed a serious expression, and a trace of emotion that could not be noticed flickered in his eyes.
He nodded solemnly and said:
"Don't worry. I'll tell Kakashi."
After saying that.
A satisfied smile appeared on Yagyu's face as he patted Sasuke's shoulder:
"That's good. The way you are now is how a genius of the Uchiha clan should carry himself. Then... we'll talk about other things after I finish this mission."
Bang.
As Yagyu's words fell, his body turned into a puff of white smoke.
"A Shadow Clone?"
Seeing Yagyu disappear just like that, Sasuke was momentarily stunned:
"Tch... this guy uses Shadow Clone so well? Even better than Naruto."
As he spoke.
Sasuke stored the two scrolls and then turned to leave.
...
Yagyu residence.
Yagyu, who was packing his equipment, suddenly paused for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened.
"Next, it depends on Sasuke's own choice."
Receiving the information from the returning Shadow Clone, Yagyu smiled and said:
"But from the looks of it, changing his future shouldn't be a problem... as long as Uchiha Itachi's matter is handled properly later, everything will be fine. This time, Sasuke cannot be the one to kill Uchiha Itachi."
Although that would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Sasuke he had worked hard to change would inevitably fall into darkness again.
At the end of the day.
Sasuke was also a pitiful person.
Although in his previous life, when watching the anime, Yagyu thought Sasuke was hopeless and disappointing.
After years of interacting with him now, Yagyu had come to understand Sasuke.
He was not someone beyond saving.
It was just that Itachi's arrangements, combined with Sasuke's extreme personality after falling into darkness, along with the erosion of Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven and other factors, had completely pushed what should have been a promising young man onto a dark path.
Although Naruto had always been trying to save him.
One person's effort was clearly not enough, and in the early stages, Naruto was not really suitable for reaching Sasuke either.
But now.
With Yagyu, a transmigrator with a cheat-like advantage, appearing.
He had instead become the best candidate to save and change Sasuke's future.
Naruto's long "chasing his wife" journey might not even happen this time.
One hour later.
After finishing packing his equipment and informing his mother.
Yagyu left Konoha alone.
A tourist town in the Land of Fire.
Because of its scenery and location, many film crews often came here to shoot movies and other productions.
After spending more than a day on the journey, Yagyu arrived at this town.
He didn't go to watch any movies. Instead, he went straight to the Princess of the Storm film crew.
"This is seriously ridiculous."
Looking at the complete set of film equipment here, Yagyu felt speechless:
"The tech tree in the Naruto world is really messed up."
Clearly, things like radios, cameras, post-production, and even computers existed.
Yet many things that would make daily life convenient, such as cars and telephones, hadn't been developed.
It was honestly baffling.
But complaining aside, Yagyu didn't think too much about it.
After all, this world was still dominated by ninjas, and ninja villages represented a nation's military power.
While thinking about these things,
Yagyu used the identification documents issued by the village and met the client for this mission inside the set.
An ordinary old man.
Asama Santarō.
After looking over the mission credentials Yagyu presented,
Asama Santarō looked at him with clear distrust:
"Young man, may I ask, are you the only one carrying out this mission? I remember requesting a jonin for this assignment."
Looking at the distrustful Asama Santarō,
Yagyu smiled and said:
"Don't worry. This mission is just a piece of cake for me... Hmm, my name is Yagyu Sosuke. If you know even a little about Konoha, you should have heard of me."
During the Konoha Crush incident,
Yagyu had gained quite a reputation.
The Gale Swordsman of Konoha, Yagyu Sosuke.
A blade-wielding Asura who cut down hundreds of enemies, his clothes dyed red with their blood.
The most trustworthy ninja of Konoha.
