The Southern War Zone won battle after battle, and the Youth who awakened his Sharingan early displayed strength far greater than in the original timeline.

As the indirect instigator, Uchiha Sosuke was currently touring the Land of Iron, enjoying the scenery.

Along the way, he dealt with some bandit forces that blocked the road.

"Help!"

On the wide plains, a group of mounted bandits fled in panic.

Not far behind, Sosuke followed unhurriedly. His pace seemed slow, but each leap carried him seven or eight meters forward.

Whenever a bandit fell out of formation, a shuriken immediately flew over, sending the enemy to the Pure Land to confess to the Sage of Six Paths.

[System Prompt: Enemy successfully eliminated. 12 points gained.]

In the Hokage World, every person possessed chakra, meaning no matter how weak the enemy, they could provide him with basic point rewards.

Even if the amount was small, it still helped fill the last gap.

"Run, run." Sosuke didn't strike immediately. He wanted to drive the bandits back to their hideout.

Since he chose to act, he would annihilate them all. Otherwise, the bandits who suffered losses would just move elsewhere and commit even worse crimes.

In any world, bandits were a detestable existence. Sosuke felt no guilt killing them.

As for the Ponytail Princess beside him, she was equally decisive. If he hadn't held her back, she would have jumped out to steal the kills.

Even so, the duo's reputation spread. The bandits instinctively lumped Uzumaki Mito into the same category.

Sticking by Sosuke's side day in and day out, no one would believe she wasn't a blood-soaked executioner.

After the pair wiped out several strongholds in a row, the entire bandit underworld of the Land of Iron knew that two killers were hunting them.

In truth, only one person was doing the actual killing.

"I can help you," Mito said, unwilling to be a mere ornament.

Seeing her eagerness, Sosuke, who didn't want to lose points, scrambled for a lame excuse: "You're a princess. Leave this kind of work to me."

He cares about my status. Mito paused, lost in thought, and at least stopped asking to join in.

Having finally placated her, Sosuke drove the bandits all the way back to their main camp.

Looking at the small stronghold before him, the Youth didn't hesitate. A scorching stream of fire erupted, leaving the enemies no chance to flee or resist.

[System Prompt: Enemy successfully eliminated. 18 points gained.]

[System Prompt: Enemy successfully eliminated. 7 points gained.]

[System Prompt: Enemy successfully eliminated. 14 points gained.]

[System Prompt: Enemy successfully eliminated. 10 points gained.]

In the system log, point gain notifications began flooding the screen.

Over half a month, Sosuke had searched for craftsmen while destroying every bandit force he encountered along the way.

Finally, today, he completed the most important step.

[Points: 8534]

"Finally made it."

Illuminated by the Sea of Fire, the Youth's face shone with excitement.

[Flying Thunder God Technique (Stage One), Item Grade A, Exchange requires 8500 points.]

After a long grind, he had finally saved enough points to exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Reading its detailed information carefully, Sosuke didn't hesitate and immediately made the exchange.

A full eight thousand five hundred points vanished in an instant, and then unfamiliar "knowledge" appeared in his mind.

Things like how to sense the surrounding space, how to inscribe spatial coordinates, and so on.

Before Sosuke could even try it out, the system proactively issued a rare notification.

[Hidden condition met. System Store opens new exchangeable items.]

Once he fully digested the knowledge in his mind, he quickly opened the System Store to browse the new options.

This time, some good items finally appeared.

[Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique, Item Grade A, Exchange requires 10000 points.]

[Great Ball Rasengan, Item Grade A, Exchange requires 14000 points.]

[Kirin, Item Grade A, Exchange requires 18000 points.]

[Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, Item Grade S, Exchange requires 20000 points.]

[Lightning Armor (Intermediate), Item Grade S, Exchange requires 22000 points.]

[Living Corpse Reincarnation, Item Grade S, Exchange requires 50000 points.]

[Hundred Healings Technique, Item Grade S, Exchange requires 65000 points.]

[Sage Mode, Item Grade S, Exchange requires 70000 points.]

Eight Gates, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 80,000 Points.

Looking around, almost everything here was exactly what Sosuke had dreamed of.

As long as he had enough points, he could instantly transform into the most powerful jutsu master.

Beyond the ninjutsu options, the system had also added bloodline-based ability exchanges.

All kinds of secret techniques emerged endlessly, including the one thing Sosuke cared about most.

Ice Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Boil Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Scorch Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Lava Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Dissolve Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Swift Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Steel Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Dark Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Wood Release, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Sage Body (Beginner), Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 50,000 Points. Mangekyo Sharingan, Item Grade S, Exchange Cost: 100,000 Points.

Including Wood Release, the basic Kekkei Genkai all required a full fifty thousand points, while secret techniques demanded relatively fewer points—though exchanging for them now would be useless to Sosuke anyway.

The only two he truly valued were the Sage Body and the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The former went without saying—a universal power bank that ensured the Mangekyo's dojutsu power would never run dry, while also supplying his body with a massive amount of vitality.

The Mangekyo was an option he absolutely had to exchange for, but the point cost was a bit steep—a full one hundred thousand points. Without killing a few Clan Head-level experts, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it.

As for advanced techniques like Flying Thunder God Second Stage and Kirin, he would achieve them through his own efforts rather than waste his hard-earned points.

"There's also scientific knowledge—I'll need to find a suitable user for that."

Even though he had successfully exchanged for Flying Thunder God, Sosuke felt like he had even more things to deal with now.

On his way back to town, he successfully inscribed his first Space-Time Mark. Now he just had to wait for the blacksmith to finish his work, and then he could engrave the mark onto specially made kunai.

"One step at a time. At least I still have plenty of time."
