The Eldest Brother Was Stunned

Sasuke, in particular, had arrived late and was nearly disqualified.

At that time, Sasuke's opponent was Gaara, though that match never actually took place.

What followed was when Orochimaru launched his assault on the village.

Uchiha Sora's gaze deepened as he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I won't be going. With half a month left, you should be able to learn quite a lot by following Kakashi!"

"Don't worry about me either; I need to go study the functions of the Sharingan on my own."

What Uchiha Sora didn't say was that his mission was complete, and he was anxious to get home to claim his reward.

Hinata, standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before walking up with a blush on her small face, gathering her courage.

"Sora! I might be training over these next two weeks as well. I must strive to surpass Neji!"

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

Hinata's small face was full of determination.

Clearly, Hinata didn't want to fall too far behind Uchiha Sora or be left in the dust.

"Rest assured, I believe in you. You definitely have the talent for it!"

Uchiha Sora smiled to comfort her and habitually patted Hinata on the head.

The people around them witnessed this scene and cast looks of blessing their way.

Sasuke, in particular, felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Big brother! After running a massage parlor for so many years, are you finally starting to get a clue?

Rock Lee also chuckled and nudged Sasuke with his elbow.

"Tell me, when will we be able to attend your big brother's wedding feast?"

Sasuke curled his lip.

"What's the rush! But it should be soon, I trust in my big brother's ability to get things done!"

Hearing these words, Hinata's face turned even redder.

As for Uchiha Sora, he was busy analyzing the situation in his mind.

Should he intervene in the battle between Hinata and Neji?

Logically speaking, this was a growth experience for the characters from the original story; if he interfered, Hinata might not be able to grow.

Of course, given Hinata's personality, she would certainly become stronger eventually.

However, it was uncertain when that would happen.

Therefore, Uchiha Sora decided to try his best not to interfere with the original plot.

Unless it was necessary.

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

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

After all, that was his future brother-in-law!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sora simply gave up on the idea of intervening.

At most, he would give Hinata some weapons to ensure she could save her own life at a critical moment.

Just as he was thinking, Uchiha Sora caught a glimpse of Rock Lee looking at him in a strange way!

This guy was a problem.

In the original story, this fellow didn't even pass the exam.

At this point, he should still be in the hospital recovering from his injuries.

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

Would it affect the trajectory of the plot?

He figured he would probably follow Might Guy to train for a while.

As for what came next, who he would be matched against was entirely up to fate. The only thing he could be sure of was that Rock Lee shouldn't have much of an impact on the plot.

After all, without chakra and only relying on pure taijutsu, Rock Lee's future was limited.

If he could serve as his helper later on, there might be a glimmer of hope.

With that in mind, Uchiha Sora patted Rock Lee on the shoulder with a sympathetic expression.

"Lee! Burn with all your might! You have half a month left, and there are quite a few people you need to surpass in that time!"

Upon hearing this, Rock Lee immediately began to burn with intensity!

"Don't worry, my dear friend, I have already made up my mind. When I get back, I will do one thousand sit-ups, one thousand push-ups..."

Uchiha Sora's teeth ached just listening to him, so he quickly interrupted.

"Alright! I know you're impressive, now hurry along. Everyone is exhausted from today's battles!"

Uchiha Sora glanced at the crowd as he spoke.

"This test was just an appetizer. Whether you can advance depends on what happens in half a month, and I hope all of you succeed by then!"

The group nodded one after another, and with that, they parted ways.

Uchiha Sora and Sasuke's party returned to their clan.

As soon as he arrived home and settled Sasuke in, Uchiha Sora selected his system rewards.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing consecutive missions. Chunin exam completed, obtained Gatling Gun blueprints!"

"Additionally, the host has unlocked the side quest feature, which can be viewed in the system interface!"

"Furthermore, as the host has completed two missions in a row, you have received an additional boost to your chakra, and your Sharingan has also been slightly enhanced!"

Side quests?

Could they be similar to daily quests in a game?

Uchiha Sora blinked. He was most interested in daily quests; as a transmigrator, he knew that daily quests were a good thing.

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty was low, and most of the time, they were small tasks within his capability.

Yet, the rewards for completing them were often quite substantial.

In some pay-to-win games, good items were always obtained through daily quests.

The purpose was to maintain player retention.

Now, with fifteen days left, if he could max out his missions every day.

Perhaps he could reap quite a few extra gains!

Thus, Uchiha Sora took a quick look.

He found that they were indeed simple; they were either practicing firing a gun a few times or loading ammunition.

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

Sometimes, he could even randomly obtain some ninjutsu; all in all, it was quite good.

Of course, those were secondary; this mission had also provided Uchiha Sora with experience.

It caused Uchiha Sora's combat power to soar.

There was no need to elaborate on the Sharingan; Uchiha Sora was currently in the three-tomoe state, which would have made him a genius even in the Uchiha clan of the past.

Don't look at how the Rinnegan was everywhere in the later stages, where one didn't even have the right to speak without some kind of eye.

But in the early stages, three tomoe were truly powerful; they could slow down an opponent's movements and copy their ninjutsu.

The reason Kakashi was called the Copy Ninja, the one who could go toe-to-toe with anyone, was entirely due to his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Therefore, Uchiha Sora's eyes were currently at least on par with Kakashi's.

As for chakra capacity, it was the standard for measuring a ninja's strength.

Previously, Uchiha Sora had no concept of this.

Now that he had grown stronger, by referencing the original work and adding in the amount contained within his own body.

After a slight calculation, he could roughly understand it.

Currently, a genin's chakra volume should be between one hundred and one hundred and twenty.

Ordinary small ninjutsu consumed between 2 and 3, while large ninjutsu consumed a dozen or even several dozen.

A chunin's chakra volume should be around 500.

Experts like the Hokage should be approaching ten thousand or more.

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

On this basis, his own chakra was considered excellent; his rank was chunin, but his chakra was actually already around fifteen hundred.

Moreover, his chakra possessed the mutated property of Black Powder, and in terms of potency, it was stronger than ordinary chakra.

So, it could even be counted as three thousand.

In other words, if judged solely by the volume of chakra, Sora was already very formidable.
