Bare-handed Nuclear Bomb?

The mere fact that Uchiha Sora belonged to the Uchiha Clan and had already awakened his Sharingan was enough for him to become a protected asset of the village.

Kakashi had been staying in the vicinity of Uchiha Sora for the past few days.

He was providing protection from a distance.

Now that Uchiha Sora had headed out, he had refrained from following him under the Hokage's instructions.

However, he still felt a sense of unease.

This kid knows he could learn from me, and there's a high probability I'd teach him the Chidori, yet he doesn't come?

Kakashi found Uchiha Sora somewhat unfathomable.

A moment later, he shook his head and casually pulled out Icha Icha Paradise from his pocket.

"Forget it, one less person to look after actually makes things easier for me."

Just like that, everyone in the village participating in the exams had, to varying degrees, seized the opportunity provided by this half-month window.

Some went out to train, while others stayed home to receive instruction from their elders.

In short, they were all improving.

Meanwhile, in a small village on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

This place fell under the jurisdiction of Konoha Village, and the village could be considered a member of the Konoha fold.

It was just that there were no ninjas here; the residents usually relied on wheat farming to make a living.

It could be said that this place was quite poor.

Yet, in this very backwater, bandits had recently begun to stir, throwing the lives of the people into chaos.

At this moment, Uchiha Sora sat lazily on a rock at the entrance of the village.

He was purchasing a batch of golden-orange bullet casings from the system store.

At the same time, he was using his chakra to fill them.

Immediately after, he raised a hand, and a brand-new, orange-yellow Gatling Gun appeared in his grasp.

Uchiha Sora hoisted it with one arm, aimed at a brown bear in the distant woods, and pulled the trigger!

Instantly, a sound like a continuous string of thunderclaps echoed out, and the dense barrage of fire, like a rain of bullets, pierced the brown bear through on the spot.

At the same time, a system notification rang in Uchiha Sora's ears.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a beast. Obtained 120 bullets and 200 gold coins!"

Uchiha Sora smiled faintly and stored the 120 bullets that had appeared out of thin air into his inventory.

Over the past few days, Uchiha Sora had repeated similar actions several times.

He had long since wiped out all the bandits.

By now, he had collected thousands of bullets through missions.

The reason he hadn't left yet was that he had discovered that wild beasts were frequenting the area.

Every time he killed one, the reward was equivalent to that of a genin.

Therefore, the rewards were quite substantial.

Uchiha Sora intended to stay here for a few more days.

In the meantime, he had also used his chakra to create over twelve thousand bullets.

Added to the two thousand he had before, Uchiha Sora could now maintain continuous fire for several minutes.

However, Uchiha Sora understood that his enemy was Orochimaru.

These alone were not enough.

Thus, after the sun had climbed high, Uchiha Sora turned back toward the small village behind him.

He found Doctor Wang, who usually went up the mountain to chop wood.

"Old Wang, do you have any more of those stones? If you do, I'd like to trade for some more."

Over the past few days, having helped the villagers wipe out the bandits, Uchiha Sora had become quite familiar with the people in the village.

Doctor Wang traveled far and wide and was known as the village's merchant; he chopped wood but also worked as a part-time vendor.

Not long ago, Uchiha Sora had bought quite a bit of sulfur and saltpeter from him.

Now, Uchiha Sora intended to buy a bit more to see if he could gather enough materials to make some grenades.

"I do! Since you mentioned you wanted that yellow ore, I managed to get a few dozen pounds from a colleague last night. I'll just give them all to you!"

Uchiha Sora quickly shook his head.

"That won't do; I have to pay for them. Take these points; you can exchange them for plenty of good things in the village."

To his surprise, Doctor Wang refused outright.

"That won't work. You saved our entire village, little brother; it should be us giving you a reward."

"Over these past few days, little brother, you've helped us clear out quite a few mountain spirits and wild monsters nearby, and even killed that detestable brown bear. You've truly solved a lot of trouble for us; it's just a few stones, they aren't worth much!"

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Uchiha Sora nodded in agreement.

Shortly after, he obtained a full twenty-plus pounds of potassium sulfate, along with many similar materials.

At this moment, Uchiha Sora took these items and headed straight for a small cave outside the village.

He intended to craft some weapons on the spot.

To deal with Orochimaru, simple weapons definitely won't be enough. Right now, I have a Gatling Gun with over ten thousand rounds of ammunition, but that's still not enough.

The rocket launcher ninjutsu is also decent, but Orochimaru has already suffered from it once. This time, he will surely have learned his lesson and be on guard against me, so I should make a few more grenades.

And then, I should make some defensive gear. What would be good?

While Uchiha Sora was thinking, his hands didn't stop, and he quickly crafted several grenades.

These grenades were all fragmentation types.

The casings were purchased from the system shop for a few dozen gold coins.

Some were filled with gunpowder by Uchiha Sora, while others were filled with chakra; in any case, their power was immense.

Just as Uchiha Sora was pondering, his eyes suddenly lit up.

How about I build a small tank by hand? After all, I have the attack power now, but my defense is still lacking.

However, building a tank clearly requires a higher level of technology; I won't be able to build one in a short time.

I should go check the shop to see if there are any good ninjutsu!

Uchiha Sora slapped his thigh; he had almost forgotten about the ninjutsu in the shop.

The shop contained many ninjutsu, and although many were disguised as such, there was no lack of high-level ninjutsu like the Human Rocket Launcher.

Previously, his technological level wasn't high, so there wasn't much he could buy.

Now that his level was unlocked, he should be able to buy some good things.

Just like that, Uchiha Sora first finished making all the bullets.

He also produced over three hundred grenades.

Only then did he open the shop.

Soon, he found the ninjutsu interface.

One look was all it took for him to immediately find an awesome ninjutsu.

"Nuclear Fist! As the name suggests, it involves generating nuclear energy with bare hands, converting chakra into nuclear energy to deliver an earth-shattering punch!"

"And the price is cheap, it only costs about 30 gold coins!"

Uchiha Sora's mouth hung open.

What the hell, am I already able to touch nuclear energy?

However, as Uchiha Sora continued reading, his expression turned ugly.

"Nuclear Fist, lethality within 3 kilometers, attack range, two meters..."

Uchiha Sora was speechless.

What the hell, this is clearly a suicide move.

The range is smaller than the blast radius.

However, Uchiha Sora felt it was necessary to learn this.

If nothing else, once he learned it, he could rely on his control over nuclear energy to forge the first nuclear bomb of his own.

What boy wouldn't want to build a nuclear bomb of his own?

Uchiha Sora was instantly excited.
