Playing As Gojo Sato Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 379

While Hatake Satoru was idly doing nothing, Sasuke on the other side was quite busy.

He was carrying out tasks assigned by the Akatsuki organization while secretly finding so leftover subordinates of Orochimaru.

Karin and Jugo were both recruited by him under these circumstances. Since Orochimaru was already dead, it was natural to gather capable fighters.

The Akatsuki organization showed a state of extre lack of talent. Relying on him and Uchiha Itachi’s Sharingan, they seed to use people to death if they weren’t too bad, which was not a good sign.

He should secretly prepare so people. Although it would definitely be related to the Akatsuki organization, having a few more people to share the burden might not be a bad thing.

A team of three is a common setup, mainly because Karin is a healer. In general configurations, this is enough.

Although a bit annoying, it’s better to use people who can be used.

"But honestly, is it okay for you to recruit us?"

"Aren’t you part of the Akatsuki organization...?"

Karin said with so hesitation.

She didn’t know why Sasuke suddenly beca interested in them, especially since he had killed Orochimaru so ti ago.

Moreover, it felt strange for soone from the Akatsuki organization to co and ask them to team up.

"It’s fine, they won’t bother with this kind of thing."

Sasuke replied indifferently, his expression unchanged.

It was more likely that the Akatsuki mbers would hope he could bring so combat power, rather than not bothering with it.

After all, there were only a few usable pawns right now.

"There’s nothing going on lately, you can stay here as usual. Of course, if you don’t want to, you can co with ."

It was just recruiting pawns. Those with strength and belonging to villages were naturally not good choices.

Sasuke also didn’t want to get too involved with various villages, but these people from Orochimaru’s side had no place to belong.

After losing Orochimaru, they had no leader, and they still needed a strong person to control the situation.

Sasuke was the best substitute in this situation.

In fact, Sasuke originally planned to take these two back to the Akatsuki organization.

However, after finding Karin, so changes occurred, causing him to change his plan temporarily.

It wasn’t a task from the Akatsuki organization, but another person sent him a letter.

Sasuke stood on the coastal rocks, the surging waves crashing against them with a roaring sound.

The morning sun emitted a slight chill. The Akatsuki robe he wore was caught by the sea breeze, fluttering along with his hair.

He ca here to find soone in the interval between missions. The Akatsuki organization’s thod of high-intensity work, using one person as two, was a bit too inhumane.

So he hadn’t reported the situation of the last mission yet. But it was also possible that that old weed, Zetsu, was watching him sowhere and had already reported the results.

They no longer held etings through the Demonic Statue of a Thousand Arms. There were almost no people left, so there was no reason to force a eting.

If there were arrangents, people could be summoned directly.

Sasuke felt like he was watching the Akatsuki organization reach this point. He couldn’t quite describe his feelings, but it was like being gradually left behind by the dead and becoming one of the survivors.

However, this ti, his mission was not assigned by Taka, but by a crow that looked like it would be blown away by the sea breeze.

Among the nearby white seagulls, this entirely black crow had an indescribable sense of disharmony.

The crow’s crimson eyes flickered, and then it directly swooped down and landed on his shoulder.

Its two black claws wobbled as if it couldn’t stand steadily.

"?"

Sasuke took the paper tied to the crow’s ankle. This ti, it wasn’t official paper.

The paper was small, with so words written casually.

After Sasuke untied the paper, the entirely black crow disappeared with a "poof," accompanied by a shower of falling black feathers, which also kept disappearing.

The sender’s identity was clear at a glance.

Uchiha Itachi suggested a spar with him and had a gift for him.

Sasuke frowned subtly as he looked at the short note. He didn’t know what Uchiha Itachi was up to at this ti.

After all, every ti he ntioned a gift, it never felt like a good thing.

The writing was a bit crooked, although it could vaguely be seen that it was written by Uchiha Itachi himself.

"Was it written outside...?"

Sasuke muttered to himself with so curiosity. He turned the paper over in his hand, but there were no signs of damage on the paper, and it didn’t look like it was written during a mission.

Uchiha Itachi was quite particular. Whether it was the paper or the writing, he would either use a scroll or letter paper.

Even for encrypted details, he would cut the paper neatly and write the words neatly before sending them.

Even in urgent or hasty situations, his writing was never illegible.

Compared to Hatake Satoru, who would casually tear a sheet of paper—so carelessly that even the jagged rip marks were clearly visible—

his handwriting had no pattern at all. Long horizontal strokes, short vertical ones. Even when the paper had guide lines, he still wrote in a complete ss, enough to give anyone a headache just trying to read it.

It looked just like him—flashy and unruly. The sloppy, note-like scrawls ford a sharp contrast.

At this point, Karin and Jūgo had no reason to keep guarding these places anymore.

So the two of them decided to leave together with Sasuke. However, Sasuke told them he had sothing he needed to handle alone and asked them to wait nearby.

No one knew whether Uchiha Itachi wanted to reminisce about the past, or if he had so other plan in mind.

The agreed battlefield was the old storage site where the Uchiha clan used to keep their weapons. Sasuke wasn’t very familiar with the place—after all, at his age back then, there was no way he would have known about it.

It took him two days to reach it. After crossing the sea, the journey still required so ti.

He deliberately chose not to seek Itachi out imdiately. Itachi had left him plenty of ti.

Deep down, Sasuke felt a faint sense of excitent. Though every ti Itachi claid he had a "gift" for him, it never ant anything good... Still, the current Sasuke doubted Itachi had any "gift" left to give.

After all, I’m no longer the person who would collapse under a single glare and fall into genjutsu.

Full of confidence, Sasuke rested in the forest for the night. It was rare for Itachi to propose a duel with him—he needed to make the most of this opportunity.
