Displaying Talent

Sasuke, having understood the hidden mechanics of the system, modified his plans while using 9900 general proficiency points to max out the proficiency of the newly acquired Storm Release: Lightning Light Chain.

[Storm Release: Lightning Light Chain: Self-created Ninjutsu]

[General Proficiency: 30900]

[Special Fusion Opportunity +1]

The moment the proficiency for Lightning Light Chain was maxed out, this prompt appeared directly on the panel. Unfortunately, before Sasuke could even let out a wild laugh, he felt his head grow dizzy and heavy.

I forgot about this! Feeling the vast amount of knowledge flooding his mind, Sasuke curled his lips helplessly and obediently went to sleep.

After Sasuke fell asleep, an uninvited guest arrived at his door: Naruto.

Although he didn't say anything more under Sakura's intimidation, Naruto still felt unconvinced by Sasuke in his heart, so he came directly to his door.

"You jerk, Sasuke!"

After knocking for a long time without seeing Sasuke come to open the door, Naruto began to throw a tantrum. After grumbling for a while, Naruto had no choice but to return home.

The next morning, when Sasuke opened his eyes, the first thing he did was touch his slightly dizzy head.

"It seems I can't get too carried away!" Shaking his head to clear his mind, Sasuke began to wash up, then got dressed and headed to Ichiraku Ramen for breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Sasuke sent his special Shadow Clone home and went to the meeting point himself. After all, Kakashi would surely test whether he was the real body today!

Upon arriving at the meeting point, Sasuke began to wait slowly. A short while later, Sakura and Kakashi arrived at the same time.

"You are the real body, right?" Upon seeing Sasuke, Kakashi asked this question directly, as he needed to prevent what happened yesterday from recurring.

"Of course, yesterday was an accident!" Facing Kakashi's inquiry, Sasuke replied calmly, then began to wait patiently.

"That's good!"

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them began to wait for Naruto's arrival.

Soon, with only one minute left before the meeting time ended, Uzumaki Naruto came running toward them, panting heavily.

"You're so slow!"

Looking at Naruto like this, Sasuke remarked with a cold, detached tone.

"Damn it, the guy who uses a Shadow Clone to carry out missions has no right to complain about me!"

Naruto, who had originally intended to apologize, exploded instantly upon hearing Sasuke's words.

To this, Sasuke just curled his lips helplessly and ignored the raving Naruto.

"Damn it..." Facing Sasuke's arrogant attitude, Naruto decided to give this Shadow Clone a taste of his power. After all, he should be able to beat a single Shadow Clone, right?

"This time it's the real person, you know!"

Sakura, seeing through Naruto's thoughts, gave a sudden reminder.

"The real person? I don't believe it!"

Listening to Sakura's words, Naruto shook his head. After all, he truly didn't believe Sasuke would honestly come to carry out a mission.

"Alright, Naruto! It's getting late, we need to go pick up our mission!" Just as Naruto was rolling up his sleeves at Sasuke, Kakashi stepped in to stop him. After all, it wouldn't be good if Naruto got injured before they even started the mission.

What? You say Naruto could beat Sasuke? Then you must still be dreaming!

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei!"

Discovering that Kakashi-sensei was stopping him, Naruto finally believed that the person in front of him was indeed Sasuke.

Because Naruto wasn't late this time, the mission Team 7 received was quite good; it was not only easy but also offered a decent reward.

After walking out of the mission center, Kakashi looked at Sasuke and asked out of the blue, "You are the real body, right?" He blinked curiously as he spoke, as he still hadn't figured out when Sasuke had used the Shadow Clone back at the training ground.

"Of course!"

Facing such an inquiry from Kakashi, Sasuke curled his lips helplessly. It seemed there was no escaping it this time.

"Good, then let's set off! The mission objective is to hunt two bears and deliver them to the injured hunter!" After confirming that Sasuke was the real person, Kakashi led his team toward the back mountain.

Upon entering the back mountain, Team 7 quickly found the two bears and easily took care of them. Of course, the main force was Sasuke; after all, Kakashi wouldn't make a move unless it was an exceptional situation!

As for Sakura, facing a bear right now would be like serving herself up on a platter. As for Naruto, he currently lacked any ninjutsu capable of dealing fatal damage to a bear. In this regard, the only thing that could kill the bears was the Taiji Rasengan possessed by Sasuke.

When Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi saw Sasuke unleash the Taiji Rasengan, they were all taken aback. This was clearly not an ordinary Rasengan!

"Given your performance today, I will conduct special training for you all after we finish handing in the mission!"

After the shock, Kakashi said this to the three of them, then had Naruto use a Shadow Clone to carry the two bears injured by Sasuke's Rasengan toward the hunter's house.

After spending some time handing in the mission, Kakashi brought the three of them to the training ground, where Team 7 ran into Team 8 and Team 10, who were sparring.

"It's really inexcusable to interrupt the two of you on a date!" After walking into the training ground, Kakashi joked as he looked at Asuma and Kurenai, who were discussing how to strengthen the specialized training for their students.

"Kakashi? What are you doing here?"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Kurenai blushed and didn't say anything, while Asuma turned his head to look at Kakashi and his Team 7, looking quite surprised. What was going on?

At this time, shouldn't Team 7 be out on a mission?

"The problems I saw in their performance during the battle just now, so..."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke, who wore a calm and indifferent expression, and explained to the two why he had appeared here; after all, Asuma and Kurenai were the types of instructors who only led their teams on missions once every two days.

"Since you're here, how about we have a spar!"

Just as Kakashi was still chatting with Asuma and Kurenai, Inuzuka Kiba, who had successfully mastered his clan's ninjutsu alongside Akamaru, issued a challenge the moment he saw Team 7 arrive.

"Sure! I'd love to!"

Seeing Inuzuka Kiba's invitation, Naruto, who had felt rather stifled during their recent battle with the bear, immediately began rubbing his palms together in anticipation.

"Step back!"

Just as Naruto was about to set one foot into the center of the training ground, the previously silent Sasuke suddenly spoke up.

"Why?"

Having already prepared himself for a one-on-one duel with Inuzuka Kiba, Naruto asked curiously after hearing Sasuke's words.

"A ninja's skills are not meant for petty brawls!" Watching Naruto's stunned expression, Sasuke went against his own conscience and recited words from the Will of Fire.

Little Sasuke unable to escape, successor to the Will of Fire!
