Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi

[Insight: 5000/5000]

[Copy: 2000/5000]

[Genjutsu: True Manifestation: 5000/5000]

[Kyōka Suigetsu: 5000/5000]

[Magen: Kasegui: 5000/5000]

As for the Sharingan panel, it was even more luxurious. The Genjutsu: True Manifestation inherited from the Kurama Clan would not normally increase with the Sharingan's proficiency cap, but after Sasuke combined the Sharingan's standard genjutsu with Genjutsu: True Manifestation, everything changed!

Over these four years, Sasuke consumed a total of eight Uchiha Bloodline Crystals, which finally pushed the Sharingan skill proficiency cap to 5000. However, doing so came with significant consequences.

That consequence was the birth of an inner demon. The version of Sasuke composed of the vengeful spirits of the Uchiha Clan within his heart had now accumulated the hatred of the entire clan. Of course, this was a result of Sasuke's intentional guidance, as the Divine Refining Eye could perform divine refinement on inner demons.

The reason Sasuke did not do so yet was, naturally, to utilize the hatred of the entire Uchiha Clan to awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan!

As for the remaining two Uchiha Bloodline Crystals, Sasuke did not want to use them immediately. The reason? Sasuke was still suppressing his inner demon; if he let it grow any further, Sasuke felt things might get a bit precarious.

Of course, if Sasuke still couldn't awaken the Mangekyō when he eventually merged with his inner demon, those two Uchiha Bloodline Crystals would come in handy. After all, if he didn't even have a Mangekyō, how could he participate in the "nesting doll" game of the mastermind behind the scenes?

After getting a clear look at his panel, Sasuke turned his gaze to the storage section of the Divine Refining panel.

The ninjutsu with the highest damage output Sasuke currently possessed was the so-called Wind-Flame Sword, but unfortunately, that sword technique was too destructive to the blades themselves; essentially, a standard ninja sword could only be used once.

"Don't let me down, Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!" Looking at the divine artifact Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi resting in his storage, Sasuke silently initiated the fusion.

A wave of stinging pain surged from Sasuke's left hand, immediately spreading throughout his entire left arm. After the stinging subsided, a wave of scorching heat followed, and a tomoe mark appeared on Sasuke's left forearm!

The fusion was complete. This time, the fusion had wasted one of Sasuke's special fusion opportunities, meaning he would now have to wait patiently until his chakra levels reached the Kage level before he could attempt the fusion for Storm Release.

After all, the remaining special fusion opportunity was definitely reserved for the evolution of his Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Once the fusion ended, Sasuke scanned his panel and suddenly discovered that Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi had appeared on the fusion panel!

[Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi: Divine Artifact. In addition to being fused with Susanoo, it can undergo one more fusion. Neither of these two fusions requires a special fusion opportunity!]

Looking at the description on the fusion panel, Sasuke was instantly stunned. There was such a feature? A bundle deal?

"If I'm going to fuse it, then I'll fuse it with the Wind-Flame Sword!"

Although he was a bit taken aback by this turn of events, Sasuke didn't care much. Why overthink it? Whatever fate arranges is for the best!

After selecting Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the Wind-Flame Sword, Sasuke began to wait slowly for the fusion results.

[Scorch Release: Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi: Scorch Release Kenjutsu; 1000/10000]

Looking at the result of the fusion, Sasuke was somewhat confused. How did a perfectly good divine artifact turn into a sword technique?

Without dwelling on it, Sasuke closed the panel and began to use the newly acquired Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi technique. As his chakra was consumed, a fiery red longsword slowly manifested in Sasuke's left hand!

Holding the sword, Sasuke swung it gently, and a scorching blade of energy flew out. The next second, the stone wall in front of Sasuke was instantly cleaved open.

"Wind-Flame Sword?" Looking at the terrifying destructive power, Sasuke's expression was one of surprise. Had the Wind-Flame Sword turned into a basic attack?

"No, it can only release the Wind-Flame Sword once; the rest are just blade energies imbued with Scorch Release. I see!"

After swinging it a few more times, Sasuke finally understood the function of Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi. Joyfully putting the sword away, Sasuke reopened the fusion panel.

His eyes drifted to the Uchiha Kenjutsu and Konoha Kenjutsu he had previously maxed out. Sasuke had an idea: if he fused these two sword techniques into the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi he just created, would there be any strange changes?

Just as he was thinking this, Sasuke suddenly noticed that the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi he had just experimented with had appeared on the fusion panel, which left him feeling a bit bewildered.

After selecting Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, Sasuke found that the only remaining options were Uchiha Kenjutsu and Konoha Kenjutsu. After fusing all three, Sasuke fell into deep thought as he looked at the result.

[Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi: 3000/10000]

In other words, the Uchiha Kenjutsu and Konoha Kenjutsu had both been converted into proficiency for Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!

"How strange! This is the first time a proficiency cap of ten thousand has appeared. Could this be the peak of proficiency?"

Faced with such a panel, Sasuke began to ponder. It was truly bizarre. Although Sasuke didn't understand the situation, he wouldn't dig too deep; after all, the system itself was not an ordinary existence.

Summoning Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi again and performing some basic tests, Sasuke put the sword away, changed into the playboy-style clothes he had prepared, shouldered his bag, and headed toward the back mountains of Konoha.

Of course, on the way, Sasuke continued to carry out the so-called "Will of Fire," such as helping old ladies cross the street. As for the purpose of doing this? Naturally, it was to make Sarutobi Hiruzen believe that he had truly embraced the Will of Fire!

As for today being the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, Sasuke showed no reaction. Firstly, because the current Sasuke was a transmigrator, and secondly? That was, of course, to deceive Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, if he went to the Uchiha Graveyard to pay his respects, that old bastard Sarutobi Hiruzen might become suspicious of him.

If he didn't go, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, would think that in Sasuke's eyes, the Uchiha Clan was already in the past and not worth dwelling on.

Of course, this was exactly the impression Sasuke wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to have, as such a perception would be extremely beneficial for his future plans!

For instance, when hunting down Anbu or Root members, as long as he was seen as an heir to the Will of Fire and was still so young, that guy Sarutobi Hiruzen would certainly not suspect him.

As for the king of scapegoats, Danzo? As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen still coveted the Uchiha land, he would never let Danzo cause trouble for him.

So, there was no need to worry about that man either!

Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi wreathed in flames, the playboy of the Uchiha!
