Looking at the five scrolls that had clearly been placed here only in the last few days, Sasuke felt a strange sensation in his heart. As this feeling flooded his mind, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan manifested involuntarily.

"Sigh, this is the trouble with being reincarnated!"

After taking five minutes to calm his inner thoughts, Sasuke retracted his Sharingan and turned his gaze toward the first scroll.

After trembling as he opened the scroll, Sasuke fell into deep thought; this was a ninjutsu scroll, and a Fire Release one at that.

[Fire Release: Hōsenka no Jutsu: C-rank...]

Setting aside this ninjutsu that he could practice, Sasuke opened the second scroll. Unsurprisingly, it was another Fire Release technique.

[Fire Release: Ryūka no Jutsu: C-rank...]

After placing this scroll to the side as well, Sasuke looked at the third scroll. Its color appeared slightly darker than the previous two.

[Fire Release: Gōryūka no Jutsu: B-rank...]

"Fire Release again?"

Upon seeing the records on the scroll, Sasuke felt speechless. Could they not provide some other type of ninjutsu?

Opening the remaining two scrolls at once, Sasuke finally discovered something that piqued his interest!

[Magen: Kasegui: Sharingan Genjutsu...]

This was the ninjutsu in the fourth scroll, and it was the one that interested Sasuke the most. After all, if he couldn't even perform the signature ninjutsu of his own Kekkei Genkai, how was he supposed to get by?

As for the contents of the fifth scroll, although it wasn't a ninjutsu, Sasuke felt that it was the most valuable of them all.

The fifth scroll was not a ninjutsu scroll, but a training guide for Sharingan Genjutsu. From the notes, it was clear that it had been written by two people, containing methods for improving the power of Sharingan Genjutsu and things to watch out for.

Sasuke did not recognize the handwriting in the first half, but there was no doubt that the latter half was written by Uchiha Itachi. This served as indirect proof that these scrolls had been left behind by him.

"Shisui?"

Looking at the scroll, the image of the person Uchiha Itachi called his big brother surfaced in Sasuke's mind. He was a genius whose Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were just as broken as Obito's—Uchiha Shisui. Furthermore, due to his powerful Body Flicker Technique, he was known to the world as: Body Flicker Shisui!

"If it really is you, then this is the first great gift I've received since coming here!"

Recalling the terror of Shisui's Genjutsu, Sasuke instinctively tucked the scroll away. However, he had a second thought: it seemed that in the entire Uchiha compound, aside from the shrine, this place was the safest!

After all, the fact that Uchiha Itachi left the scrolls here meant it was safe. Otherwise, they would have long since been snatched up by that hypocritical old man Sarutobi Hiruzen and that king of scapegoats, Shimura Danzō!

"It seems I need to gather everything the Uchiha left behind!"

Placing the scrolls in his hand onto the table, Sasuke walked out of the basement and began rummaging through his home.

Half a day later, Sasuke looked at the three scrolls in his hand and fell into deep thought. So clean? They really are the true inheritors of the Will of Fire! Once the great fire passed, not a blade of grass remained!

Besides these three ninjutsu scrolls, Sasuke also found two rather interesting items: the Uchiha clan's shuriken training methods and Uchiha Kenjutsu. The rest were just insignificant amounts of money; as for any valuables, there wasn't a single one left.

"The Will of Fire is so clean, I'll make sure Konoha is just as clean sooner or later!"

Returning to the basement, Sasuke looked at the few items left behind by the Anbu and Root, and his Sharingan manifested involuntarily.

[Shadow Clone Technique: B-rank...]

[Fire Release: Gōka Mekkyaku: B-rank...]

[Fire Release: Ryūen Hōka: B-rank...]

Looking at the three ninjutsu he had just found, Sasuke curled his lip in frustration. The Shadow Clone Technique had been found in a very obvious spot; clearly, the Anbu and Root had left it behind because they felt it was useless.

The other two were found in a secret compartment in his parents' bed—they had slipped through the cracks!

Temporarily setting the two Fire Release techniques aside, Sasuke began to learn the Shadow Clone Technique. After all, this was a training cheat code; for the current Sasuke, the Shadow Clone Technique could rapidly increase his strength.

Five minutes later, Sasuke began to slowly weave hand seals. With a "poof," two clones appeared around him.

Seeing this, Sasuke smiled with satisfaction and immediately ordered one of the shadow clones to begin slowly studying the scroll on Genjutsu left behind by Uchiha Itachi.

As for the other clone, Sasuke had him go collect the remaining Uchiha assets. As for his main body? Naturally, he needed to get a clear understanding of his system!

Sasuke waved his hand, and a blue light screen appeared before his eyes. After the basic ninjutsu panel came Fire Release ninjutsu, but it only listed Gōkakyū no Jutsu, which was C-rank with a proficiency of 190—only 10 points away from mastery.

Besides that, below Fire Release was another proficiency: Nature Transformation. The maximum value was a terrifying 10,000, but that was normal; as long as he used Fire Release ninjutsu, this proficiency would increase. Although it was somewhat difficult, the progress was still quite fast.

After Fire Release came Lightning Release, which was even more miserable. Aside from the so-called Nature Transformation proficiency, there was nothing else!

"Sigh, I hope I can find a Lightning Release ninjutsu! Even a D-rank one would be fine!"

Looking at the pathetic state of his Lightning Release, Sasuke sighed helplessly, then looked at the detailed panel for his Sharingan!

[Sharingan: Three-Tomoe]

[Insight: 10/1000]

[Copy: 0/1000]

[Genjutsu: 0/1000]

Looking at the miserable panel of his Sharingan, Sasuke felt a bit embarrassed. That's right! It seemed he had only just awakened his Sharingan in the last few days.

He had awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan five years earlier than the original Sasuke. This period of time should be enough for him to fully max out the proficiency of all the ninjutsu he could currently obtain!

"Once all these things reach their maximum values, I estimate I will have the strength of a Jōnin. Once I awaken the Mangekyō, I can reach the Kage level! By then, I can start collecting some interest!"

Gazing at the Uchiha clan crest on the wall, Sasuke muttered to himself.

Time slowly slipped away, and just as Sasuke was still mapping out his training plan for the following day, a "poof" sounded as the Shadow Clone Technique he had been using to study the scrolls left behind by Itachi vanished.

Watching the shadow clone disappear, Sasuke curled his lip in resignation, and the next second, waves of stinging pain surged into his mind.

"Whew... this is truly profound!"

After a long moment, Sasuke recalled the information he had just received and felt a headache coming on.

[Genjutsu: 100/1000]

Opening his Sharingan panel, Sasuke looked at the entry and curled his lip again; it was only 100 points! It seemed he would need to study it slowly.

The Will of Fire is a clean name, while the seeds of hatred are sprouting.
