Leaving aside strength and appearance if one only spoke of personality.
Although Sasuke still looked as quiet and cold as ever on the outside, because he had studied by Sousuke's side for more than two years, he had naturally been influenced quite a bit.
So the current Sasuke had not forgotten his hatred toward Uchiha Itachi, but he was no longer ruled by that hatred.
There was love in his heart as well.
Although the Asura chakra within Sousuke could not compare to Naruto when it came to emotional influence or talk-no-jutsu two years of guidance and education were still enough to influence a person.
Sasuke was not an idiot.
When Sousuke sincerely treated him well and did not interfere with his revenge, but merely guided him to broaden his perspective and see more things influencing Sasuke was actually very simple.
"Everyone has grown into the versions I remember from Shippuden."
A trace of emotion appeared on Sousuke's face as he spoke.
"And because of me, everyone has even become slightly more outstanding than before. Especially…"
"Ino!"
Among the newcomers in Konoha's Intelligence Division, the most outstanding one was none other than Ino.
Ever since Sousuke began carrying out his new training plan.
Ino, who worked just as hard, had spent these two years not only strengthening herself through her clan's secret techniques, but also learning all kinds of relevant knowledge from her father, Yamanaka Inoichi, as well as elite and leadership-level figures in Konoha's Intelligence Division such as Morino Ibiki.
Although their paths were different, the level of effort was truly the same.
Because of this in the eyes of everyone in Konoha, Sousuke and Ino truly could be considered a golden couple, a naturally perfect match.
"System, open my attribute panel."
After thinking for a while, Sousuke spoke inwardly.
[Ding! Host Attribute Panel]
[Name: Yagyu Sousuke]
[Chakra: 26413]
[Ninjutsu: 2367]
[Taijutsu: 2285]
[Genjutsu: 2298]
[Bloodline Limits: Sage Body (84%), Sharingan (Eternal Mangekyo), Byakugan (Evolving), Wood Release]
[Comprehensive Strength Evaluation: Super Kage]
His personal attributes were extremely luxurious.
After glancing at them, Sousuke's gaze skipped directly over the four basic stats and landed on the Bloodline Limits section.
His Sage Body had already been developed to 84%.
This was the root of Sousuke's explosive increase in strength.
Because not long ago, on the day his Sage Body development reached 80%, the Asura chakra within his body fused and stimulated the activity of Indra chakra, pushing Sousuke's ocular power to its limit.
With the system's additional assistance, it broke through to the level of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even his Byakugan had unexpectedly entered the process of evolution.
As for what it would evolve into?
Naturally, there was no need to say more the Tenseigan, a power comparable to the Rinnegan and terrifyingly powerful.
Moreover, it would be a perfect Tenseigan, unlike the eyes that Otsutsuki Toneri would obtain by stealing them in the future.
As for Wood Release ninjutsu, Sousuke had also developed it to the extreme.
With so many powerful abilities combined, his strength had finally surpassed the Kage level in every aspect and reached the Super Kage level.
He could now be considered on the same level as powerful enemies like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who would appear in the future Fourth Great Ninja War.
"The current me…"
Feeling the power within himself, a smile appeared on Sousuke's face.
"I already have the qualifications to dance in the ninja world! After I become Hokage and begin a series of reforms across the ninja world, I doubt anyone will be able to stop me!"
After all, what Sousuke was best at was "convincing people with virtue."
And his own virtue was both big and hard!
Closing the system attribute panel, Sousuke no longer needed to constantly stare at his system stats.
Sousuke had absolute confidence in the power he possessed!
Tap, tap, tap.
At that moment, the sound of light footsteps rang out.
A fragrant breeze brushed over him, and Ino's smiling face appeared before Sousuke's eyes.
"Surprise!"
With a bright smile, Ino stood prettily in front of Sousuke and said,
"Sousuke, I heard from Lady Tsunade that you came back, so I came over. What were you thinking about?"
Coming back from his thoughts, Sousuke looked at the graceful Ino before him her golden ponytail, beautiful face, and perfectly proportioned figure.
In Sousuke's eyes, the current Ino was the very definition of a perfect girlfriend.
"I was thinking that Naruto should be coming back soon!"
Sousuke smiled as he watched Ino walk into the counter and sit beside him.
"Counting the time, the Akatsuki should also be about to start moving. If he's still outside, even Senior Brother Jiraiya might find it hard to deal with an Akatsuki attack. They're an extremely dangerous organization!"
Hearing Sousuke's words, Ino nodded in agreement.
"Indeed! It's been so long, but we still haven't been able to find the Akatsuki's true base. At most, we've only found some insignificant hideouts, which are basically useless."
As a newcomer in Konoha's Intelligence Division Ino was not like she had been in the original story, where she seemed to have little effect.
The current her knew far more things than the other Konoha rookies.
Reaching out and stroking Ino's waist-length golden hair, Sousuke said,
"There's no need to rush! As long as they begin moving, we'll be able to find them and completely destroy them!"
At this point, Sousuke paused for a moment before saying,
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since all of us gathered together. Once Naruto comes back, let's all get together again."
Ino naturally had no objection to Sousuke's suggestion and nodded in agreement.
After that, the two of them began chatting about ordinary daily matters.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the street that day, Sousuke and Ino walked hand in hand toward the Hokage Building.
It was not because Sousuke had a mission. He was simply accompanying Ino.
When Team Ten did not have missions, Ino and Shikamaru both had their own things to do.
First was Shikamaru, Ever since he had been promoted to Chunin, he had been helping his father, Nara Shikaku, the current elite Jonin who served as Konoha's strategist.
As for Ino, she followed Yamanaka Inoichi and handled matters in the Intelligence Division.
Choji, on the other hand, was much more relaxed.
He did not participate much in this kind of work and mostly helped out at home.
Someone like Sousuke, who spent his days leisurely whenever he had no missions, was extremely rare in Konoha!
After all, Sousuke's status was truly rather special.
The leader of the new generation of ninja, a Wood Release ninja, Konoha's Gale Swordsman, and an elite Jonin whose mission completion rate had always remained at one hundred percent!
Sousuke had already completely become a living legend.
His name had already spread throughout the ninja world.
After all, when carrying out high-level missions, it was impossible not to clash with ninja from other hidden villages.
And after clashing with them while maintaining an undefeated record this also meant that Sousuke's fame had begun to rise throughout the ninja world.
