Sasuke nodded, then realized something and looked at Yoruha. "So, your summoning beast definitely isn't from the three great sanctuaries, is it?" Yoruha was taken aback; he hadn't expected Sasuke to be so perceptive. "No, it's not. Why do you ask?"
Sasuke was silent for a moment before saying, "If you don't even consider the summoning beasts from the three great sanctuaries, then your summoning beast must be incredibly powerful."
When Naruto summoned Gamabunta, Sasuke was quite envious. He could feel Gamabunta's immense strength.
But if Yoruha hadn't signed a contract with such a powerful summoning beast, it meant that Yoruha's summoning beast must be stronger than those from the three great sanctuaries, and by a significant margin.
Naruto also looked at Yoruha, "I'm really curious." Yoruha waved his hand dismissively, "That's not important. Right now, you guys aren't ready to learn Sage Mode, but you can sign a summoning contract with the three great sanctuaries."
"Naruto has already signed with Mount Myoboku, and Sakura can find Lady Tsunade. Sasuke, you're the most troublesome; you'll need to find the location of Ryuchi Cave."
Yoruha knew that Anko had definitely signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, as she could summon the snakes from there to help. Although they weren't on the level of Manda, they were still giant snakes, clearly from Ryuchi Cave.
Sasuke thought for a moment, "I'll keep an eye out when I'm out on missions." He didn't plan on asking Yoruha for help. He felt Yoruha had already helped him enough.
Of course, Yoruha hadn't planned on helping him find it either. Because there was no need to search; he could just find Anko. But Yoruha didn't know Anko, so he'd have to go through Kakashi.
Moreover, Yoruha's relationship with Ryuchi Cave was definitely not good. If Manda found out that Sasuke was introduced by Yoruha, who knows what Manda would do to Sasuke. Right now, Sasuke was definitely not a match for Manda.
After handling everything, Sasuke said, "Let's go to my place to celebrate your first successful solo mission." Naruto smiled and said, "Yeah, and to congratulate Yoruha on becoming a Jonin." Naruto's words left Sakura and Sasuke puzzled.
"Jonin?" "Yoruha became a Jonin?" Naruto chuckled, "Yeah, the Third Hokage left an order before he passed, promoting Yoruha to Jonin and appointing him as Lady Tsunade's bodyguard, which means he's a Hokage guard. He might even become our team leader in the future."
Sakura smiled, "Congratulations, Jonin Yoruha." Sasuke remarked, "I'll work hard to become a Jonin soon too. Although it's hard to match your strength, I won't lag too far behind in rank."
Naruto added, "I'll definitely work hard to become Hokage, Yoruha, so you better work hard too, or I'll surpass you." "Maybe I'll become Hokage before you," Yoruha said calmly. "I never planned on becoming Hokage anyway. If you want it, just work hard."
"But Granny Tsunade said she'd make you the Sixth Hokage." Yoruha felt a headache coming on. "She was just saying that casually." Sasuke said seriously, "I think if Lady Tsunade knows your strength, saying she'll make you the Sixth Hokage isn't just casual talk."
"If I were Lady Tsunade, I'd definitely want you to take over."
Nodding, "That's right, there's nothing strange about Yoruha becoming Hokage. If you become Hokage, then what Kakashi-sensei said about the Hokage being the strongest ninja in the Land of Fire, I would believe it."
Yoruha felt a bit helpless seeing the confidence these three had in him. Although they were very supportive, he really hadn't considered becoming Hokage.
Sasuke looked at Yoruha seriously and said, "Let's go. I also want to test how much these eyes have improved." "And Sakura's cooking is really good," Naruto chimed in, nodding. "Yeah, Yoruha, you haven't tried Sakura's cooking yet. It's really delicious."
"What, are you jealous, Naruto?" Yoruha teased. Naruto paused for a moment, then playfully punched Yoruha, laughing, "You dare to make fun of me."
Even though Naruto still liked Sakura, since she was with Sasuke now, he naturally supported them.
Yoruha was sure that Sakura had definitely learned cooking for Sasuke. Because of Yoruha's presence, the destinies and personalities of these three had changed significantly.
This was something Yoruha hadn't anticipated. Sasuke's personality was no longer as extreme or aloof as before. He even got along well with several classmates from their year.
Previously, Sasuke's relationship with them was quite ordinary. Now, they were all friends, similar to his relationship with Naruto. What surprised Yoruha was that Sakura's parents didn't oppose her frequently visiting Sasuke.
After all, Sakura was only 12 years old. Still a child. But it seemed Sakura's parents were quite satisfied with Sasuke.
Coming from a prestigious family, handsome, and although his clan had been reduced to just him, the family assets were his. Even if he and Sakura didn't become ninjas, they would be well-off.
Moreover, Sasuke himself was exceptional, possessing Jonin-level strength at just 12 years old. It was understandable that Sakura's parents didn't oppose her spending time with him. After all, people in this world matured relatively early.
After joking around and completing Sasuke's discharge procedures, they left. Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who were on their way to visit Sasuke and Rock Lee in the hospital.
Because of Sasuke's changes, they had a good relationship with him and often visited him and Rock Lee.
When they saw Yoruha, Ino, who had been standing next to Shikamaru, seemed to teleport to Yoruha's side. "Yoruha, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me? Seriously." As soon as Ino appeared next to Yoruha, she hugged him tightly.
Originally, Yoruha wanted to teleport away, but that would seem too unfriendly. So he let Ino hug him, as she rubbed her face against his, making him feel like her pet.
"Hey, hey, Ino, control yourself. There are so many people here," Shikamaru said, looking both pained and embarrassed. Beside him, Sakura clung nervously to Sasuke's arm.
She thought, "How embarrassing. I used to do this to Sasuke. I can't do this anymore, or Sasuke will definitely feel awkward." "Yoruha, you poor thing," Sakura said, looking at Yoruha with sympathy as he frowned helplessly.
Naruto was also startled, standing on Sasuke's other side. If he weren't a guy, he might have clung to Sasuke's arm like Sakura. After a while, Ino finally let go of the resigned Yoruha. "Yoruha, you're finally back. I'm so glad you're okay."
"Let me see if you're hurt anywhere." She reached out, but Yoruha quickly stopped her. "I'm fine, Ino. You're too enthusiastic."
Ino, holding Yoruha's arm, smiled, "Isn't being enthusiastic a good thing?" At this moment, Yoruha really wanted to teleport away. But doing so would probably make Ino feel awkward.
He couldn't help but miss the calmness of Hinata. At least she wasn't so exuberant.
