Clan Relocation, Thinking of Happy Things!

After fusing with the Senra Body, Sasuke selected another reward.

[Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation]

A surge of tyrannical energy suddenly erupted within Sasuke's meridians.

It was like a drop of water falling into a pan of hot oil.

It exploded in an instant.

A wave of intense pain washed over him.

Even with the experience of two lifetimes, Sasuke still winced and bared his teeth at the sheer impact of the agony.

So this is the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra?!

It's no joke that it's called the most tyrannical chakra attribute!

Sasuke gritted his teeth and began to control and guide the Lightning Release chakra flowing through his meridians.

He was inwardly shocked by the sheer power of the Senra Body.

If he hadn't fused with the Senra Body, the body of a five-year-old Sasuke would likely have been torn to shreds the moment the Lightning Release chakra nature transformation entered his meridians.

But now, Sasuke's meridians were holding this tyrannical chakra firmly in check.

[Ding, detected that the host is using Lightning Release chakra nature transformation to temper the body. Mission released: Complete 1,000 full-body temperings using Lightning Release chakra nature transformation.]

Just as Sasuke was struggling to control the violent Lightning Release chakra within him, the system's "kind" voice rang out in his mind.

If not for his iron will, Sasuke would have nearly had a mental breakdown.

One thousand baptisms of lightning?!

He wasn't Ash Ketchum; he couldn't just infinitely withstand the shock of lightning...

However, since he intended to master this Lightning Release, he tossed the system mission aside and continued to control the restless power.

"Zzzzt..."

Under Sasuke's control, the Lightning Release chakra turned into arcs of electricity that spilled out from his body.

At this moment, Sasuke looked like a god of thunder wrapped in lightning.

But only Sasuke knew that this cool appearance came at a price.

Beyond the arcs overflowing from his skin, his insides were already saturated with electricity.

If not for the Senra Body, Sasuke figured he would have been charred black by now.

For an ordinary person, this method of cultivation would be nothing short of suicide.

But for Sasuke, with the Senra Body, he only needed to endure!

This was the benefit of the strongest physique brought by the God-Level Talent System!

Soon, Sasuke's chakra was completely exhausted.

At the same time, as his body was baptized by the Lightning Release, a wave of hunger hit him.

He hadn't expected that controlling the Lightning Release chakra nature transformation would also serve to train his physique...

Sasuke subconsciously swiped to open the panel.

He checked the progress.

[0.5/1000]

Looking at that glaring number, Sasuke cursed the "dog system" under his breath.

He closed the panel, preparing to head back and get something to eat.

As the son of the Uchiha clan head, there was plenty of food available.

He hadn't gone far from the training ground when he saw Uchiha Itachi looking dejected.

Upon seeing Sasuke, Itachi forced a smile.

He "took" Sasuke along as they walked toward their home.

Sasuke naturally noticed the emotions on Itachi's face, but he didn't say a word.

Upon returning home, he discovered that many of the Uchiha's powerhouses had gathered there.

Like Uchiha Itachi, their expressions were far from pleasant.

Soon, Sasuke learned the reason for everyone's distress—relocation!

Inside the Uchiha meeting hall.

"We have been here since the founding of Konoha; by what right do they demand we move our clan grounds?!"

"Damn it, it must be that shameless Sarutobi Hiruzen stirring up trouble!"

"We keep backing down every time; what's next, are they going to expel us Uchiha from Konoha entirely!?"

"Let's not be too impulsive; after all, we aren't necessarily certain of winning if we confront the village."

"Damn the higher-ups, damn the village. Maybe we should just rebel..."

"Quiet, let's just listen to the clan head's arrangements."

"The clan head..."

As these words were spoken, everyone ceased their discussion, turning their gazes toward Fugaku Uchiha, who sat in the seat of honor.

As the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha wore a look of deep distress.

He was the one who had brought back this news.

What else could he think?

Ever since the Nine-Tails Rebellion began, he had been constantly maneuvering between the clan and the village.

He not only had to face the suppression from the village but also the pressure from his own clansmen.

On top of that, his failure in the recent power struggle with the higher-ups had led to the relocation of the clan compound.

Such matters already gave him a splitting headache.

Now, the radicals within the clan were clearly showing signs of forcing him into rebellion.

This only left him feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

After pacifying the clansmen, Fugaku Uchiha arrived in the living room.

"Father."

"Father."

Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke both stood up to greet him.

"Let's eat."

Fugaku didn't say much more; he took his seat and spoke.

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha sit down, Sasuke immediately began to sweep through the delicacies on the table.

It had to be said that his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, was truly skilled in the kitchen.

Sasuke, busy stuffing his face, naturally didn't notice the look of disappointment in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.

Even if he had seen it, he wouldn't have cared.

Food is the fuel of life, and Sasuke had no intention of dragging a hungry body off to training.

Seeing Sasuke's lack of manners, Fugaku's expression darkened slightly.

Compared to his older brother Itachi, his second son was far inferior in talent, strength, and decorum.

After the meal, Mikoto Uchiha cleared the table and took the dishes to the kitchen.

"Itachi, what is your opinion on this matter of the clan compound relocation?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked.

This kind of matter served as a test and a form of cultivation for Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi had already begun participating in daily meetings.

At ten years old, he had already become a Chunin.

Compared to Sasuke, who only knew how to eat, Itachi was clearly more favored by Fugaku.

"This matter has both pros and cons."

"Relocating can temporarily ease the conflict with the village."

"However, the dissatisfaction of the clan's ninjas toward the village will surely deepen."

"And vice versa."

"I am more inclined toward not having any radical conflicts with the village for the time being..."

This wasn't the first time Itachi had undergone such a test.

Having been aware of this incident, Itachi spoke calmly, laying out his thoughts.

Having witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield at a young age, Itachi's heart leaned toward a more compromising approach.

To put it bluntly, it meant not making things difficult for Konoha.

Of course, even Uchiha Itachi was too embarrassed to say such nonsense out loud.

"Pfft..."

Sasuke, who had originally intended to stay out of the discussion between father and son, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Uchiha Itachi's response.

"Sasuke!"

Fugaku Uchiha frowned, scolding him with a hint of reproach.

"Sorry, Father, I just thought of something funny."

"Father, since you and Brother have matters to discuss, I won't disturb you any longer."

"May I go take my nap now?"

Sasuke immediately sat up straight, his posture obedient as he asked.

"Go ahead."

Fugaku waved his hand.

He wasn't the type to be overly harsh toward a five-year-old child just because he was in a bad mood.

With Fugaku Uchiha's permission, Sasuke stood up and left the living room, heading toward his own bedroom.
