Enhancing Strength

The sun scorched the earth, the weather had turned stifling, and it was already afternoon. Sasuke was still throwing shuriken at the training ground.

His face was full of determination, sweat streaming down his body. Uchiha Sasuke trained diligently, frantically hurling shuriken with both hands, but some still flew wide of the target.

Uchiha Sasuke said with a troubled expression, "I'm really useless. I can't even master something as simple as Uchiha Shurikenjutsu."

Qingcheng watched the earnest Uchiha Sasuke. At this point, Sasuke's talent had yet to reveal itself.

Qingcheng said directly, "A true genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration. You already have a genius's determination, so you'll become a genius very soon."

Sasuke's talent had not been obvious as a child. It was only after reaching his teenage years and meeting Orochimaru that his strength and talent began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Qingcheng grumbled inwardly, But this guy became way too arrogant later on. After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he managed to ruin both his eyes in just one day. That was truly a rare sight in a lifetime.

Qingcheng understood Sasuke's talent well. He could be properly cultivated, but whether Uchiha Sasuke would become uncontrollable after growing up...

Qingcheng thought, A few slaps will fix that. Although Uchiha Sasuke is tsundere, he's one of the few normal people in Naruto.

When Sasuke saw Qingcheng arrive, the troubled look on his face instantly vanished. He said proudly, "I deliberately threw them wide."

Qingcheng put on a serious expression and said, "Can you teach me? It would be pretty embarrassing for the Uchiha Clan Head not to know Uchiha Shurikenjutsu."

Uchiha Sasuke said haughtily, "Then I'll teach you. Watch closely, Brother Qingcheng."

With that, Sasuke took out six shuriken in both hands, leaped up, and spun through the air. With several bangs, six shuriken shot out at once.

Four struck the target, while the other two hit the wall. Only two shuriken landed on the bullseye.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at his results and said arrogantly, "My throwing method can effectively kill multiple enemies."

Qingcheng nodded approvingly. "As expected of Uchiha's Foremost Genius. Your throwing angles are truly tricky. With your current strength, in another ten years or so, you'll definitely be able to crush Uchiha Itachi."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Uchiha Sasuke's face flushed with embarrassment, though he still said proudly, "Naturally. In the future, I'll easily kill Uchiha Itachi."

Qingcheng also took out six shuriken, then gave a light leap and instantly jumped more than ten meters into the air. His hands moved like machines as he perfectly replicated Uchiha Sasuke's movements.

The six shuriken curved through the air like lightning. Thud, thud, thud—they all embedded themselves in the target's bullseye.

Qingcheng then took out ten darts and performed another Swallow Rise. Spinning in midair, he sent the darts flying like bullets, fiercely nailing them into the target's bullseye.

Seeing Qingcheng's smooth throwing technique, Uchiha Sasuke was instantly filled with surprise. His mouth fell open as he said in shock, "Brother Qingcheng learned it after seeing it once. I only demonstrated it once."

Sasuke secretly thought, Which one of us is really the dead last? This is too ironic. Has heaven and earth been turned upside down?

Qingcheng rubbed Sasuke's little head and said with a smile, "No need to be surprised. You're the Uchiha Clan's foremost genius. I can't cultivate Chakra, so when you grow up, I'll make you Clan Head while I become the deputy Clan Head. You'll be responsible for fighting, and I'll earn money to support the family."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke was deeply moved. He said gratefully, "Brother Qingcheng, you're even better than my dad. You're so considerate. You're the best person I've ever met."

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke's eyes had even turned red, Qingcheng understood why he had been so attached to Uchiha Itachi since childhood. His father had never thought highly of him, and he desperately lacked affection, gradually developing a Brother Complex.

Qingcheng rubbed Sasuke's head again and said with a smile, "What do you want for lunch? I'll have Yamahuku make it for you. How about some soft and sticky Four Happiness Meatballs?"

Uchiha Sasuke said gratefully, "I like that. Thank you, Brother Qingcheng."

Qingcheng smiled. "Remember, genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration. I'll call you when the food is ready."

Uchiha Sasuke picked up his shuriken again and continued practicing Uchiha Shurikenjutsu.

Qingcheng was also very satisfied with his own talent. Ever since he had transmigrated into this body, his spiritual power had begun soaring. He could learn anything after just one look.

Qingcheng had long since asked Yamahuku to recruit some professional chefs, preferably ones who knew how to make Four Happiness Meatballs.

When Yamahuku heard that Qingcheng wanted meatballs, he said respectfully, "Understood, Clan Head. I'll arrange it right away."

Qingcheng returned to his Clan Head's office. Looking at the enormous room, he said with satisfaction, "I have to admit, the Clan Head's bedroom is huge. It's over two hundred square meters, with a study, bedroom, bathroom, and bookshelves. It's far better than my old room."

Qingcheng activated his Sharingan. His pitch-black eyes turned scarlet, two black tomoe spinning within them. Every ANBU and Root ninja was exposed before his gaze.

Seven people were hiding at the training ground, monitoring Sasuke's training, while three ninjas were hiding on his roof, trying to spy on his intelligence.

Qingcheng sneered inwardly, Those should be Root ninjas. Danzo and Hiruzen, those two old bastards, really are taking such good care of me.

If you keep messing with me like this, don't blame me for fucking the women of your clans someday. I'll start with Kurenai Yuhi.

After Qingcheng deactivated his Sharingan, his eyes returned to their black pupils. He thought to himself, Since you like spying, Hiruzen Sarutobi, I won't train ninjutsu. I'll train genjutsu first.

From the clan's secret ninjutsu manuals, Qingcheng selected several genjutsu manuals: Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes, Mirror Heaven and Earth Change, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, Tree Binding Technique, and Fox Mind-Body Switch Technique. These were all essential genjutsu for ambushing others.

As a Sharingan clan, all their genjutsu could have their power greatly enhanced. Often, a very simple genjutsu was enough to resolve a battle and kill an opponent through underhanded means.

After mastering the hand seals for these genjutsu, Qingcheng began practicing them one by one. The simplest was Fox Mind-Body Switch Technique. He immediately formed the Rat, Ox, and Tiger seals, his fingers moving smoothly like dancing puppets.

Qingcheng said, "Genjutsu: Fox Mind-Body Switch Technique." In an instant, invisible Chakra filled the air. Anyone caught in it would spin in place until they were exhausted.

If it were cast through the Sharingan, it would be impossible to guard against. There was a saying throughout the ninja world: never make eye contact with an Uchiha.

While the iron was hot, Qingcheng began practicing the other genjutsu as well. The advantage of his powerful spiritual strength now became apparent.

In just over ten minutes, Qingcheng had mastered all the remaining genjutsu. He could basically cast them all, though some required specific conditions. For example, if the distance was too great, they would have no effect.

Or an enemy could dispel the genjutsu through other methods, such as pain or releasing powerful Chakra to interfere with the casting.

After casting more than a dozen Mirror Heaven and Earth Changes in succession, Qingcheng could still feel that the Chakra in his body was relatively abundant. He was overjoyed. Even this weakened version of Senju Clan Chakra can rival that of an ordinary Chunin.

As for his current strength, he was roughly at the level of a Chunin. If he kept training in the future, he definitely would not lack Chakra.

Qingcheng thought again, If I fuck Tsunade, wouldn't I be able to skip training altogether? She has hemophobia now. The moment she sees blood, she freezes on the spot, making her combat power effectively zero. As long as her hemophobia acts up, I can fuck her however I want.

After familiarizing himself with the genjutsu, Qingcheng began practicing Earth Release. The first ninjutsu was Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique.
