His Future Brother-in-Law Was Stunned

Sasuke especially had arrived late and nearly been deemed to have forfeited.

At the time, Sasuke's opponent had been Gaara, but that match had never happened either.

After that came Orochimaru's attack on the village.

Uchiha Sora's gaze was deep and thoughtful as he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I won't be going. There are still two weeks, and you should be able to learn quite a bit by training with Kakashi-sensei!"

"You don't need to worry about me either. I have to go study the Sharingan's abilities on my own."

What Uchiha Sora didn't say was that he'd completed his mission and was eager to get home and claim his reward.

Hinata stood nearby, hesitating for a moment. A blush spread across her little face as she gathered her courage and stepped forward.

"Sora! I might be training during these two weeks too. I'm definitely going to try to surpass Neji!"

"Don't worry! I'll catch up to you!"

Hinata's little face was full of determination.

It was obvious she didn't want to fall too far behind Uchiha Sora and get left in the dust.

"Don't worry. I believe in you. You definitely have the talent for it!"

Uchiha Sora smiled and reassured her, then habitually patted her on the head.

Everyone around them saw the scene and gave them congratulatory looks.

Sasuke especially felt a rush of emotion.

Bro! After running that massage parlor for so many years, are you finally catching on?

Rock Lee grinned and nudged Sasuke with his elbow.

"So, when do we get to celebrate your brother's wedding?"

Sasuke pursed his lips.

"What's the rush? But it should be soon. I believe in my brother's ability to get things done!"

Hearing their words, Hinata blushed even more.

As for Uchiha Sora, he considered the situation.

Should he interfere in Hinata and Neji's fight?

Strictly speaking, it was part of the characters' growth in the original story. If he interfered, Hinata might not be able to grow.

Of course, given Hinata's personality, she would definitely grow stronger and more resilient later on.

But there was no telling when she'd become strong.

So Uchiha Sora decided not to interfere with the original story if he could help it.

Unless it was necessary.

As for now, it was just a match. Neji wouldn't dare kill her.

And he couldn't exactly take Hinata's place and beat Neji up himself, could he?

After all, Neji was going to be his future brother-in-law!

With that in mind, Uchiha Sora simply gave up on interfering.

At most, he'd give Hinata a weapon so she could stay alive at a critical moment.

As he was thinking, Uchiha Sora caught sight of Rock Lee standing nearby and looking at him strangely!

That guy was a real headache.

The problem was, in the original story, he hadn't even passed the exam.

He should still have been in the hospital recovering from his injuries.

But now that he'd passed the exam, what would happen to him?

Would he affect the course of the story?

He'd probably train with Might Guy for a while.

As for what came later, that would depend entirely on fate. The only thing Uchiha Sora could be sure of was that Rock Lee probably wouldn't have much impact on the story.

After all, he had no chakra and only knew Taijutsu. Rock Lee's prospects weren't great.

Maybe there was still a chance if he became one of Uchiha Sora's helpers later on.

So Uchiha Sora patted Rock Lee on the shoulder with a sympathetic look.

"Rock Lee! Burn as brightly as you can. You've got two weeks left, and there are plenty of people you need to surpass in that time!"

At those words, Rock Lee immediately blazed with fiery determination!

"Don't worry, my friend. I've made up my mind. When I get home, I'll do a thousand sit-ups, a thousand push-ups..."

Uchiha Sora's teeth started to ache just listening to him, so he hurriedly interrupted.

"Enough! I know you're amazing. Let's go. Everyone's exhausted after today's fight!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Sora looked around at everyone.

"This test was just an appetizer. Whether you advance depends on what happens in two weeks. I hope every one of you succeeds!"

Everyone nodded. Then they went their separate ways.

Uchiha Sora and Sasuke returned to the clan compound with the others.

As soon as they got home and settled Sasuke in, Uchiha Sora claimed his system reward.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have completed consecutive missions. The Chunin test is complete. You have received the Gatling Gun blueprints!"

"Additionally, the host has unlocked the minor mission feature. You can view it in the system interface!"

"Furthermore, after completing two missions in a row, you have received a bonus chakra increase. Your Sharingan has also received a slight improvement!"

Minor missions?

Could they be like the daily missions in a game?

Uchiha Sora blinked. He was most interested in the daily missions. As a transmigrator, he knew they were a good thing.

Under normal circumstances, daily missions weren't difficult. Most of the time, they were simple tasks within his abilities.

But the rewards for completing them were often pretty good.

In some pay-to-win games, the best items came from daily missions.

That was how they kept players coming back.

And now, with fifteen days left, if he completed all the missions every day—

He might be able to earn quite a bit extra!

So Uchiha Sora took a quick look.

As expected, they were simple. He just had to fire a few shots or load a few rounds.

The rewards were usually gold coins, bullets, and the like.

Sometimes, they could even randomly include a ninjutsu. All in all, they were pretty good.

Of course, that wasn't all. This mission had also given Uchiha Sora experience.

His combat strength had soared.

There was no need to say much about his Sharingan. Uchiha Sora currently had three tomoe. Even before this, that would have made him a genius in the Uchiha Clan.

People might think nothing of it when the Rinnegan started popping up everywhere later on, as though anyone without a special eye didn't even have the right to speak.

But at the beginning, three tomoe were genuinely powerful. They could slow down an opponent's movements and let the user copy their ninjutsu.

Kakashi had earned the title of Copy Ninja, the one who could match anyone, thanks entirely to his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

So Uchiha Sora's eyes were at least on par with Kakashi's now.

As for chakra reserves, they were one measure of a ninja's strength.

Before this, Uchiha Sora hadn't had a clear idea of what that meant.

Now that he'd grown stronger, he could make a rough estimate by referring to the original story and considering how much chakra he had inside him.

At present, a Genin probably had between one hundred and one hundred and twenty units of chakra.

Ordinary ninjutsu consumed two or three units, while powerful jutsu used a dozen or even dozens.

A Chunin probably had around five hundred units of chakra.

An expert like the Hokage probably had close to a thousand or even ten thousand.

As for that monster, Senju Hashirama, his chakra reserves could probably be measured in the hundreds of millions.

By those standards, Uchiha Sora's chakra reserves were exceptional. His rank was Chunin, but he already had around fifteen hundred units of chakra.

On top of that, his chakra had mutated into a Black Powder nature, making it stronger than ordinary chakra.

So it could even be counted as three thousand.

In other words, based on chakra reserves alone, Sora was already very strong.
