System Crash

Back at his residence, Sasuke tossed and turned, thinking of Kakashi's tolerance and the few words from the netizens.

"The Third Hokage does not represent Konoha."

"If you want to go far, go with a group. If you want to fly high, fly alone."

"The entire Uchiha clan took the second path, yet not one of them succeeded."

Sasuke suddenly sat up, opened the system, and posted a question.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke. I want to know what Orochimaru is planning for the village."

Question submission failed.

Before Sasuke could wonder why, another prompt appeared.

Notice: This system is the "Suggestion System." It may only be used for closed-ended questions seeking advice on specific topics. It may not be used for open-ended search questions.

Sasuke could not understand it. Then another line of small text appeared:

The following sentence patterns cannot be successfully submitted: What is, Why, Where, When, Who.

Questions that can be successfully submitted include: What should I do, Should I, What suggestions or guidance do you have, and so on.

Sasuke was completely baffled. After thinking it over, he understood.

It could only post questions seeking advice?

Sasuke froze for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and posted another question.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke. How should I get along with Orochimaru?"

Submission successful.

A smile appeared at the corner of Sasuke's lips as he waited for the netizens' replies.

Mo Li: "Whoa! At first glance, I thought this was a romance post."

Wen Xiaoyi: "You just lift his chin like this, then do this, then that, then... hehehe." (Irrelevant to the topic; not displayed)

Sasuke nearly threw up.

What was in these netizens' heads?

At last, an old friend gave a somewhat more serious response.

HuoHuo427: "What do you mean? You're already under Orochimaru? What did I miss?"

Not bothering with anything else, Sasuke replied directly.

"Hello, I want to know what Orochimaru is planning for the village."

HuoHuo427: "Oh, that? Konoha Crush."

Warning! Warning!

Bug exploitation detected! System rebooting, system under maintenance.

The entire system suddenly blue-screened, and the familiar webpage vanished.

Against a deep blue background, several lines of white text appeared one after another.

Sasuke was startled and immediately panicked. He wanted to find a restart button, but had no idea where to begin.

It wasn't just gone for good, was it?

Such an incredibly beneficial system, and he had broken it himself?!

Just as Sasuke was flustered, another line of white text appeared.

System under maintenance. Recovery countdown: 239 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

239 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds.

239 hours, 59 minutes, 57 seconds.

Sasuke stared at the scene in astonishment, unable to speak for a long while.

"Last time, we discussed how mastering Chidori requires meeting three prerequisites."

On a mountaintop in the early morning, Kakashi was guiding Sasuke's Training.

"They are Taijutsu, Lightning Chakra, and the Sharingan, which will be the focus of today's training."

"Explaining it would be too tedious, so let's test it directly. Now, cover your eyes and try attacking me with Chidori."

Sasuke did not understand, but he still did as instructed.

Recalling Kakashi's teachings, he gathered a massive amount of Lightning Chakra in his right hand.

The enormous amount of Lightning Release Chakra gave off dazzling flashes of electricity. Violent currents surged like the cries of a thousand birds.

Relying on his mental image, Sasuke charged fiercely toward Kakashi.

Kakashi sidestepped and crouched to evade him, gripping a kunai in a reverse hold in his right hand and lightly pressing it against Sasuke's chest.

Although Kakashi withdrew his force in time after stopping him and used his left hand to support Sasuke's lower back, the tremendous speed of the charge still left Sasuke coughing repeatedly.

"In actual combat, if the front of that kunai had been aimed at you just now, you would have died."

Kakashi explained.

"Chidori's attack route uses a straight-line attack, the fastest and most powerful method. But because it is so fast and its path is highly predictable, it is also easy for an enemy to counterattack in actual combat."

"So at times like this, you must use the Sharingan in tandem with it to effectively judge the enemy's Movements. Only then can you say you have completely mastered this ninjutsu."

As he spoke, Kakashi took out a stack of cards, each bearing one of the characters for "wind," "fire," "lightning," "water," and "earth."

"I casually borrowed this picture book from the Ninja Academy. Its contents do not matter; it is mainly for Training."

"Now, I will randomly throw the cards into the air, and you must use ninja tools to strike the designated cards. You cannot hit the wrong ones, nor can you miss."

Clearly, this was vision training for tracking positions while in motion.

Sasuke understood. He activated his Sharingan and prepared himself.

"First, hit every card marked 'water.'"

"Was that too easy? Then this time, three 'wind' cards and four 'earth' cards!"

"Skewer three 'lightning' cards with a single kunai!"

Sasuke made occasional mistakes at first, but with repeated practice, he quickly adapted to these eyes.

"Next, try using it in actual combat. Considering Chidori's excessive destructive power, I will not personally train with you."

Kakashi formed hand seals with both hands, and a Shadow Clone appeared at his side, taking up a fighting stance.

Kakashi himself leaped aside and watched the scene below as if enjoying a show.

"Begin!"

Sasuke held his breath and focused, his fierce eyes widening. The instant he formed Chidori, his pupils transformed into the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Lightning Release: Chidori!"

In an instant, Sasuke seemed to transform into a meteor, crashing viciously toward Kakashi's Shadow Clone.

The Shadow Clone did not dare let its guard down. It shot sideways and threw three kunai along Sasuke's unavoidable path.

Sasuke did not slow down in the slightest. In midair, he directly used Cloud Dragon Three Folds, flipping gracefully and narrowly dodging all three kunai in succession.

"Wonderful!"

From the treetops, Kakashi could not help but quietly praise the boy's dashing form.

In an instant, Sasuke had already closed in before the Shadow Clone.

Unable to dodge in time, the Shadow Clone fell backward while thrusting its kunai toward Sasuke's chest.

"Too slow!"

Sasuke shouted, planted his left foot, and drifted sideways into the air. From above, he viciously drove Chidori into the Shadow Clone's chest.

"POON!"

The Shadow Clone vanished.

Kakashi clutched his chest and leaped down from the tree, as though he had personally felt the power of the Lightning Blade.

"Whew, that was truly terrifying, haha." Kakashi walked over to Sasuke with a smile. "Congratulations. You have completely mastered this ninjutsu."

"Now, only one final task remains: testing the limits of your Chakra."
