Long-Term Goals, Elder Brother Itachi Uchiha

Furthermore, the damn system had clearly added some extra flair to it; it should only be stronger than the original version.

It was just that the materials were a bit flashy and extravagant, and it would likely be difficult to gather them all in a short time.

However, when in doubt, head to the system shop.

Uchiha Sora immediately opened the material interface of the shop and began searching to see if there were materials with the same names.

After searching around, Uchiha Sora discovered that there really were.

The system was quite thoughtful; for the most part, anything Uchiha Sora found difficult to craft by hand was available for purchase in the shop.

It was just that the prices were not very pretty.

"Small Reactor, lowest quality, requires 200,000 gold coins..."

"Dual-Barrel Nuclear Jet Thruster, medium quality, 450,000 gold coins..."

As Uchiha Sora read them out, he felt his teeth ache.

Weren't these things too expensive?

At the very least, they were not something he could afford right now.

However, Uchiha Sora was not panicked.

Because at least he had a goal, and he just needed to save up money afterward.

And there were plenty of ways to save money.

In addition to daily tasks, he could also receive a large amount of gold coins every time he completed a task assigned by the system.

Furthermore, the amount of gold coins would be adjusted according to the currently unlocked technology level.

According to Uchiha Sora's prediction, by the time he encountered the next major event, the rewarded gold coins would be enough to purchase these items.

Thus, Uchiha Sora put the matter of the blueprints aside for now and turned his attention to himself.

Currently, after going through a battle, what did he have left in his hands?

Needless to say, the Gatling Gun; according to Uchiha Sora's calculations just now, he still had a full 8,000-plus rounds of ammunition left.

If he manufactured a bit more regularly, it wouldn't take long to reach tens of thousands again.

Even if he encountered a powerhouse, the Gatling Gun could suppress them for a long time under its sweeping fire.

Therefore, the Gatling Gun could be counted as one of his trump cards.

In addition, there were the nuclear weapons!

After one launch by Uchiha Sora, it required a half-day cooldown to be used again, and Uchiha Sora also discovered that the damn system sometimes priced things incorrectly.

Take this Nuclear Fist, for example; it seemed like a useless ninjutsu, but it could create a small amount of nuclear energy, and the key was that it was very stable.

It was actually only worth a few dozen gold coins!

One had to know that this kind of nuclear energy could be mass-produced, which was equivalent to being able to fire several nuclear bombs.

Although the consumption was huge each time, draining Uchiha Sora completely every single time, the effect was also excellent.

This thing could blast a Tailed Beast half to death in one go!

According to what Uchiha Sora learned afterward, Gaara did not die, and the Tailed Beast only had its mouth blown crooked and suffered heavy injuries.

As of now, it had simply retreated.

At this moment, it should have been sent back to Sunagakure for treatment.

After all, what fault did the Tailed Beast have? It was merely a weapon within the village.

The one at fault should be the person using it.

Konoha Village did not pursue the matter, and it couldn't be pursued anyway; after all, Konoha Village still had the strongest Nine-Tails!

What right did they have to talk about others?

Uchiha Sora shook his head, suppressing these thoughts.

"Besides these weapons, I currently have a helper: Deidara. This guy is from the Akatsuki, and although he was taken out in seconds by Sasuke back then, that was Sasuke after he had grown."

"Overall strength, if calculated carefully, is comparable to Hiruzen Sarutobi in his prime, and his ninjutsu is even more bizarre. It's enough to serve as a bodyguard in the early stages!"

Uchiha Sora nodded to himself.

He felt that he could already be considered to have "graduated" from the basics.

He could live a comfortable and happy little life in the village.

Even if he didn't work hard now, just relying on this nuclear power, there would be no problem reaching the finale.

However, being able to "get by" and being able to "crush" were not the same concept.

Uchiha Sora had always been a person who strived for the top. He knew that since the damn system chose him, it proved that he at least had the ability and the conditions to crush them.

So why give that up?

Moreover, Uchiha Sora's idea was simple: he wanted to thoroughly establish the reputation of science in the world of the Hokage.

"Next step... should I kidnap Orochimaru as well to be a helper?"

Uchiha Sora rolled his eyes.

Having read the original work, he understood very well that of the three legendary Sannin in Konoha Village, Tsunade believed in faith and hope.

In the end, her lover died, and her younger brother also perished.

Jiraiya believed in living a free and unfettered life, yet he also met a miserable end.

But Orochimaru was the only one who didn't die.

Why was that?

Because he believed in science!

From the beginning to the end, he remained a researcher, traveling everywhere to crack and study all sorts of unorthodox paths.

Yet, he not only survived in the end but even earned the nickname Snake Auntie!

In the second part, he played the role of both father and mother, living a truly idyllic life.

Therefore, Uchiha Sora reaffirmed once again that believing in science was the way to go!

The only trouble was, how could he trick Big Spoon Maru into joining him?

Should he use scientific methods?

After some thought, Uchiha Sora temporarily dismissed this idea.

Currently, Orochimaru was stronger than him; trying to recruit him would most likely result in him being devoured until not even his bones remained.

That would be like asking a tiger for its hide!

Subsequently, other thoughts crossed Uchiha Sora's mind.

"How about... I just bring my big brother back?"

Uchiha Sora recalled the figure of Itachi Uchiha in Konoha Village.

Even though they had been quite far apart at the time, and Uchiha Sora and a group of students were in the plaza, he had still caught a glimpse of his brother.

Regarding the grudge between Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke, Uchiha Sora had always felt it was a great pity while reading the original work.

With such a powerful brother and such heartwarming fraternal bonds, why couldn't there be a perfect ending?

Why did they have to be torn apart?

Therefore, ever since he transmigrated, the first thing Uchiha Sora did was mentor his younger brother Sasuke, hoping that the kid wouldn't turn into a gloomy machine driven only by revenge.

Looking at it now, the results were significant; when Itachi Uchiha appeared, Sasuke didn't even show any hatred.

At that time, his attention had been entirely on him.

Thus, Uchiha Sora felt that this matter was feasible.

Why did Itachi Uchiha distance himself from his younger brother in the original work?

Was it not because he was worried about the political infighting in Konoha Village, and worried that the Hokage and others would strike, wiping out the last remaining bloodline of the Uchiha?

There was another point, too: Itachi Uchiha had seen through the cruelty of the ninja world.

He was using that method to spur Sasuke on.

Things were different now; with an Uchiha Sora around, Sasuke could completely survive under Uchiha Sora's protection.

And Uchiha Sora felt that as long as he could resolve both of those reasons, then his brother's return would only be a matter of time.

Thinking of the formidable Itachi Uchiha returning to Konoha Village and their Uchiha clan rising to power once again, these scenes made him unable to contain his excitement.

"Alright! This is the long-term goal: bring big brother home. The short-term goal is to hurry up and build the Quantum Armor!"

"Besides that, according to the original plot, after the chaos caused by Orochimaru, it should be time for the Akatsuki to make their move!"
