After fusing with the Senra Body, Sasuke selected another reward.
[Lightning Style Chakra Nature Transformation]
A violent energy suddenly appeared in Sasuke's chakra network.
Like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil.
It exploded in an instant.
A sharp pain surged through him.
Even though Sasuke had lived two lives, the impact still made him grimace in pain.
"So this is Lightning Style chakra nature transformation?!"
"As expected, being called the most violent chakra nature isn't a joke!"
Gritting his teeth, Sasuke began to control and guide the Lightning Style chakra in his network.
He was even more astonished by how powerful the Senra Body was.
If he hadn't fused with the Senra Body, a five-year-old Sasuke's body would probably have been torn apart the moment the Lightning Style chakra nature transformation entered his chakra network.
But now, Sasuke's chakra network tightly contained the violent chakra.
[Ding! The host has been detected using Lightning Style chakra nature transformation to temper his body. Mission issued: Complete 1,000 full-body tempering sessions using Lightning Style chakra nature transformation.]
Just as Sasuke struggled to control the violent Lightning Style chakra within his body, the system's alarmingly friendly voice rang in his mind.
If he hadn't been strong-willed, Sasuke would have nearly lost it.
One thousand sessions of Lightning Style tempering?!
He wasn't Ash, able to withstand an infinite number of lightning strikes...
But since he had intended to master Lightning Style anyway, he set the system's mission aside and continued controlling the restless power.
"Crackle, crackle..."
As Sasuke controlled it, the Lightning Style chakra turned into electric arcs and spilled out of his body.
At that moment, Sasuke looked like the Thunder God, wrapped in lightning.
But only Sasuke knew there was a price to looking so badass.
The electric arcs weren't just spilling over his skin; his body was already filled with them.
If not for the Senra Body, Sasuke would probably have been fried to a crisp by now.
For an ordinary person, this kind of training would be no different from suicide.
But for Sasuke, who had the Senra Body, all he needed to do was endure!
That was the benefit of having the strongest constitution granted by the God-Level Talent System!
Before long, Sasuke's chakra was completely depleted.
At the same time, his body had been tempered by Lightning Style, and hunger began to set in.
Who would've thought controlling Lightning Style chakra nature transformation could also train his constitution...
Sasuke instinctively opened his status panel.
He checked his progress.
[0.5/1000]
Looking at the painfully low number, Sasuke cursed the damn system under his breath.
Then he closed the panel and prepared to go back and get something to eat.
As the son of the Uchiha Clan head, he certainly had food available.
He had barely left the training ground when he spotted Uchiha Itachi looking dejected.
When Itachi saw Sasuke, he forced a faint smile.
He led Sasuke home with him.
Sasuke naturally noticed the emotions on Itachi's face, but didn't say anything.
When they got home, they found that many powerful members of the Uchiha had gathered there.
Just like Uchiha Itachi, none of them looked particularly happy.
Sasuke soon learned what had left everyone so frustrated: the relocation of the clan grounds!
Inside the Uchiha meeting hall.
"We've been here since Konoha was founded. What gives them the right to make us move our clan grounds?!"
"Damn it, that shameless Sarutobi must be behind this!"
"We've given in every time. Are they going to drive the Uchiha out of Konoha next?!"
"Let's not get so worked up. We might not be able to take on the village."
"Damn the higher-ups, damn the village. Maybe we should just rebel..."
"Quiet. Let's hear what the clan head has to say."
"Clan head..."
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone stopped arguing and turned their eyes toward Fugaku Uchiha, seated at the head of the room.
Fugaku Uchiha, the clan head, wore a troubled expression.
He was the one who had brought back the news.
What else could he do?
Ever since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he had constantly walked a tightrope between the clan and the village.
He had to face not only the village's suppression but also pressure from his own clan members.
On top of that, he had just lost a political struggle with the higher-ups, resulting in the relocation of the clan grounds.
The whole affair had already been giving him a headache.
Now the Radical Faction within the clan was clearly pressuring him to rebel.
It left him utterly exhausted.
After calming the clan members, Fugaku Uchiha went to the living room.
"Father."
"Father."
Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke both stood and greeted him.
"Let's eat."
Fugaku didn't say much. He took his seat and spoke.
As soon as Fugaku Uchiha sat down, Sasuke began sweeping the food off the table.
He had to admit, his mother Mikoto Uchiha was an excellent cook.
Sasuke was busy stuffing himself and didn't notice the disappointment in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.
Even if he had noticed, he wouldn't have cared.
People needed food to live, and Sasuke didn't want to train on an empty stomach.
Seeing how ill-mannered Sasuke was, Fugaku's expression darkened.
Compared to his older brother Itachi, his second son was inferior in every way.
Talent, strength, and manners—he was far behind.
After the meal, Mikoto Uchiha cleared the table and took the dishes to the kitchen.
"Itachi, what do you think about the relocation of the clan grounds?"
Fugaku Uchiha spoke up.
This was a way of testing and grooming Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi had already begun attending the clan's regular meetings.
At ten years old, he had already become a Chunin.
Compared to Sasuke, who only knew how to eat, Itachi was clearly more to Fugaku's liking.
"This matter has both advantages and disadvantages."
"Relocating could temporarily ease tensions with the village."
"But the clan's ninja will only grow more dissatisfied with the village."
"And vice versa."
"I think we should avoid any excessive confrontation with the village for now..."
It wasn't the first time Itachi had faced this kind of test.
And since he knew about the incident, Itachi calmly shared his thoughts.
Having witnessed the brutality of the battlefield at a young age, Itachi favored a conciliatory approach.
To put it simply, he didn't want to make things difficult for Konoha.
Of course, even Uchiha Itachi was too embarrassed to say something so nonsensical out loud.
"Pfft..."
Sasuke hadn't planned on joining the father-and-son discussion, but after hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer,
he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Sasuke!"
Fugaku Uchiha furrowed his brow and scolded him reproachfully.
"Sorry, Father. I just thought of something happy."
"Father, you and Big Brother have things to discuss, so I won't interrupt."
"May I go take a nap?"
Sasuke immediately sat up straight and asked obediently.
"Go ahead."
Fugaku waved his hand.
He wasn't so upset that he would be overly harsh with a five-year-old child.
With Fugaku Uchiha's permission, Sasuke stood up, left the living room, and headed to his room.
