Six Paths Sasuke Saves Little Sasuke?

Inside the Uchiha Residence, the atmosphere was serene and harmonious. Sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a golden glow across the kitchen floor.

At this moment, Uchiha Ruri was standing in the kitchen, focused intently on preparing a meal.

Ruri's chakra flowed steadily, her two-tomoe Sharingan slightly activated, revealing a mysterious and profound aura.

These eyes seemed capable of peering into everything in the world, seeing through the deepest secrets of the human heart.

Yet, at this moment, they gazed tenderly at the ingredients in the pot, as if cherishing a precious emotion.

His movements were skillful and elegant, every step executed with precision. Chopping vegetables, stir-frying, simmering soup...

In his hands, these simple ingredients seemed to be imbued with life, emitting an enticing aroma.

Ruri's thoughts drifted into the distance. He thought of Sasuke, the young boy currently training hard outside.

Ruri couldn't help but sigh; compared to his many years of struggling in society in his past life, he had never possessed such powerful mental strength.

In the world of Naruto, even children of a few years old possessed astonishing psychological resilience and ability.

He thought of Sasuke, a genius ninja who had already displayed extraordinary strength and decisiveness among his peers.

And figures like Itachi had entered the battlefield at a very young age, demonstrating maturity and courage that far exceeded their years.

Ruri had just purchased a popular modern cookbook from the System Store, acquiring it for a mere 5 points.

This cookbook was something he found in the system, and through the rapid-learning ability of the Sharingan, he could quickly comprehend the entire book's contents, mastering the preparation methods and techniques for popular dishes.

For Ruri, this cookbook was not just a tool to satisfy his appetite, but a way to learn and improve.

He realized that in the world of Naruto, one needed not only powerful combat strength but also a mastery of various life skills and knowledge to cope with all kinds of situations and challenges.

This cookbook would help him better adapt to this world, and it was also a step on his path of growth.

After Ruri quickly finished making lunch, he carried the dishes into the main room; the fragrant scent had already drifted to Sasuke, who was training outside.

"Sasuke, stop training, it's time to eat, hurry up." Ruri called out for the child to return for a meal, just like an ordinary housewife.

Ruri knew of Sasuke's diligence and persistence, but he also had to eat to have the strength to continue training.

However, Sasuke seemed too focused and did not hear Ruri's call.

Ruri had no choice but to walk over himself; seeing him still training until he was drenched in sweat, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Sasuke, it's time to eat." Ruri said softly, trying not to disturb him. Hearing Ruri's words, Sasuke stopped his movements, turned around, and followed him.

"Alright, I'm coming." Sasuke responded.

In the hall, Ruri had already prepared the meal. Although simple, it was nutritionally balanced.

Ruri knew that for Sasuke, eating was not just about satisfying hunger, but about replenishing energy to continue his path of training.

The two sat opposite each other and began to eat. From time to time, Ruri would pick up food for Sasuke, urging him to eat more.

Sasuke ate obediently, a look of satisfaction on his face. At this moment, they seemed like an ordinary pair of siblings, enjoying a mundane and warm family moment.

"Sasuke, I plan to apply for a job at Konoha Elementary School to be a teacher." Ruri sat across from the dining table, his tone calm. "The strength of an elite chunin is enough to lead you all."

Sasuke, who was busy shoveling rice into his mouth with his head down, froze for a moment upon hearing this.

He looked up, staring at Ruri in disbelief, his black eyes filled with confusion and surprise.

Ruri watched Sasuke's reaction, smiled gently, and explained: "Yes, you heard me right. I think rather than staying at home doing nothing, I might as well go to school to teach and nurture others. Besides, I enjoy being with children; seeing them grow and improve gives me a great sense of accomplishment."

"I will also handle some of the lingering issues of the Uchiha clan with the higher-ups in the village; the Third Hokage has also spoken to me privately about this topic."

After hearing Ruri's explanation, Sasuke fell into a brief silence. He kept his head down, mindlessly poking at his rice bowl with his chopsticks, seemingly deep in thought.

Then, he looked up at Ruri and asked with some hesitation: "Will you teach us too?"

Ruri looked at Sasuke's expectant eyes, his heart softening. He smiled and nodded, saying softly: "Of course I will teach you, and I will do my best to teach you the very best I have."

He knew that Sasuke asked this because he was filled with uncertainty and worry about his own future.

Hearing Ruri's answer, Sasuke seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded gently, then lowered his head and continued to shovel rice.

He knew that with Ruri-nee-san around, he wouldn't have to worry so much anymore.

However, Ruri did not stop talking. He looked at Sasuke and said in a serious tone: "Sasuke, you know what kind of faces the residents of this village have. They might point fingers at you or say nasty things because of certain events. But you must remember, no matter what others say about you, it cannot affect your confidence in yourself. You are a descendant of the Uchiha clan, and you possess unparalleled talent and potential. As long as you train hard, you will definitely become an outstanding ninja."

Ruri's words surprised Sasuke. He looked up at Ruri's firm eyes and seemed to understand something.

He knew that Ruri-nee-san was telling him that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he must not give up on himself.

The original Uchiha Ruri had taught Sasuke when he was young, and now that the "identity" had changed, he continued to maintain this persona while genuinely teaching him.

Sasuke took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "I understand, Ruri-nee-san. I will train hard and won't let you down."

"Keep eating, I'll teach you Fire Style after you finish."

"Alright." Sasuke continued to lower his head and shovel rice.

At the training spot outside the Uchiha residence, Sasuke and Uchiha Ruri sat under a large tree, their conversation breaking the surrounding silence.

"Ruri-nee-san, is the strength of an elite chunin considered very strong in Konoha?" Sasuke asked with curiosity, his eyes flashing with a firm light. He knew deep down that he needed to improve his strength rapidly and could never let his family be harmed again.

Uchiha Ruri froze slightly, touching his cheek with his index finger, looking a bit embarrassed.

This question was not difficult for her to answer, yet she did not know how to begin.

The strength of a Chunin is evaluated by different standards depending on the circumstances.

However, seeing the determination in Sasuke's eyes, she knew the answer to this question was of great importance to him.

"Sasuke, the strength of an elite Chunin is indeed very formidable in Konoha," Uchiha Ruri finally spoke, her voice gentle yet firm.

"Their strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary Chunin, and they can even rival some Jonin."

"However, strength is relative. In Konoha, there are many powerful ninjas, each with their own specialties and advantages."

Sasuke nodded silently after hearing this, his heart filled with fighting spirit. He knew that if he wanted to become a true powerhouse, he would need to put in even more effort and sweat.

Yet, he also firmly believed that as long as he did not give up and kept working hard, he would certainly be able to become an existence that surpassed an elite Chunin.

"Sister Ruri, I understand." Sasuke raised his head, looking at Sister Ruri with a resolute gaze.

"Actually, my own strength isn't that great; it's on the weaker side," Ruri said.

"But I can teach you how to make your Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu larger, more intense, and cooler."

As soon as Ruri finished speaking, she quickly walked to an open space nearby and began to weave hand signs. Her fingers danced with agility—Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger—each sign executed with precision. As the final sign was completed, she took a deep breath and violently exhaled a massive fireball.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Ruri shouted, and the fireball instantly transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it surged toward the sky.

The scorching flames illuminated half the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Sasuke watched, dumbfounded; he had not expected Sister Ruri's Fire Style to be so powerful.

However, just as he was stunned, the fire dragon suddenly made a sharp turn and charged straight at him.

"Holy crap! My little brother is gone... no, wait... the protagonist is about to be gone... this fireball..." Ruri was shocked, even considering switching to Six Paths Sasuke to save this little Sasuke.

"Waaah!" Sasuke screamed in fright and scrambled to jump away.

The fire dragon grazed past him, kicking up a wave of heat. Sasuke fell to the ground in a sorry state, looking at Ruri with a face full of terror.

"Hahaha, how was that? Sasuke, did my Fire Style meet your expectations?"

Ruri couldn't help but feel the usual awkwardness. She hadn't expected the first jutsu she cast to turn into such a spectacle.

Sasuke climbed up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He looked at Ruri and said helplessly, "Sister Ruri, your Fire Style is truly too powerful. But could you give me a heads-up next time? You nearly scared me to death."

Looking at Sasuke's shaken appearance, Ruri couldn't help but feel a twinge of apology. She truly hadn't anticipated that her joke would scare Sasuke like this, which made her feel quite embarrassed. She nodded and said sheepishly, "That's my fault for not paying attention, sorry about that, Sasuke."

Sasuke waved his hand to show he didn't mind. He knew Sister Ruri had no malicious intent and that it was just a small joke. However, he still couldn't help but say with lingering fear, "It's nothing, Sister Ruri. But your Fire Style really is too strong. I had only heard that the Uchiha clan's Fire Style was formidable, but seeing it with my own eyes today, I finally truly felt its power."

Hearing Sasuke's words, Ruri felt a sense of pride in her heart. She knew that Sasuke's praise was not mere politeness, but heartfelt recognition.

However, she did not become arrogant or complacent because of it, instead saying modestly, "Actually, my Fire Style still has many shortcomings that require constant training and improvement. Besides, a true powerhouse doesn't dominate based on one or two jutsus; it requires comprehensive strength and a wealth of combat experience."

Sasuke nodded, deeply moved. He knew that what Sister Ruri said was right.

Although he had already mastered some basic ninjutsu and taijutsu, there was still a long road ahead before he could become a true powerhouse.

He needed to train even harder and constantly improve his strength and experience.
