Fugaku Uchiha's Shock!

Returning to his room, Sasuke paid no mind to the relocation of the clan. After all, given his current strength and status, he was in no position to get involved in such matters. Rather than wasting time on that, he decided it would be better to focus on improving himself. He sat cross-legged and began to refine chakra. As the Top-Tier Chakra Refinement Technique went into motion, Sasuke quickly became immersed in his training. Within his wide meridians, chakra refined from his cells began to flow steadily, growing from a mere trickle until it gradually filled his pathways.

The chakra began to circulate throughout his body. At this moment, if I were to stimulate my cells using the nature transformation of Lightning Style chakra, it should be even faster, right? Sasuke felt the chakra coursing through his meridians and suddenly had a bold idea. He acted on it immediately. Sasuke raised his fingers, converted his chakra into Lightning Style chakra, and began to stimulate his own cells. New chakra constantly emerged within his body; as soon as it appeared, it was converted and began to stimulate his cells. The Top-Tier Chakra Refinement Technique seemed to react as if provoked, and the speed at which he refined chakra accelerated accordingly. His mission progress also rose to 1/1000 at this time.

"Grumble, grumble..." After only an hour of training, the energy he had just consumed was completely exhausted. His stomach let out a hungry roar, and Sasuke was forced to stop. "Hungry again..." I'll go find Mother! Sasuke stood up and walked out of his room. Compared to Fugaku Uchiha, who treated Itachi and Sasuke differently, Mikoto Uchiha was much better. In fact, because Fugaku Uchiha's attention was mostly focused on Itachi, Mikoto Uchiha cared for Sasuke even more and usually satisfied his requests.

"Mother, I'm hungry. Could you make me something else to eat?" Sasuke found his mother and spoke with an embarrassed look on his face, given that it had only been a little over an hour since he last ate. "Of course," Mikoto replied dotingly. Children get hungry quickly; it's normal... However, Mikoto did not think so for long. By late at night, she even began to wonder if something was wrong with Sasuke's body. From the afternoon until now, he had actually eaten six meals! Moreover, he had polished off every single dish she made. This left Mikoto feeling quite worried. If it weren't for the fact that Sasuke still looked full of life, she would have likely called for a medical ninja to examine him. Still, she decided to inform Fugaku Uchiha about the situation.

This continued for two days. Inside the training ground, Fugaku Uchiha watched Sasuke Uchiha as he trained, a look of deep contemplation on his face. He had been swamped with the clan's relocation these past few days, so he hadn't been able to check on Sasuke's condition immediately. His youngest son was eating several days' worth of food in a single day, and it was persistent. Could it be that he had awakened some kind of special constitution? "Father."

Sasuke Uchiha felt no confusion about Fugaku Uchiha coming to observe his training.

After all, he was his son.

Today's training was mainly focused on properly mastering the strength he had gained over the past few days.

After all, while gaining strength through cultivation was important, mastering that strength was equally vital.

After completing the first phase of his physical training, Sasuke approached Fugaku Uchiha to offer a greeting.

"Your taijutsu is not bad."

"Release a ninjutsu."

"Let me see the results of your training during this time."

Fugaku Uchiha spoke with a calm expression, his arms crossed over his chest.

Sasuke had long since grown accustomed to such a serious and somber tone.

"Understood, Father."

Sasuke nodded.

Ninjutsu...

As the young master of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke had naturally already learned it.

He prepared the Uchiha clan's signature technique—the Great Fireball Technique.

Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger.

Sasuke performed the hand seals fluidly.

Though his speed was not fast, his form was standard.

The chakra within his body was mobilized in that instant.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

As Sasuke formed the final Tiger seal, the chakra in his body slowly began to turn scorching hot.

Then, erupting from his mouth, it surged forth violently.

A thin stream of flame shot out, transforming into a massive fireball.

Its diameter reached a terrifying ten meters!

A wave of heat spread out instantly, and the wooden dummies at the target site were reduced to carbonized dust under the intense heat.

"This..."

Fugaku Uchiha's arms, which had been crossed over his chest, suddenly tightened.

His pupils dilated in shock.

The size, power, and duration of this Great Fireball Technique!

It was already nearing his own level.

Even Itachi, during his usual training, only managed a range of eight meters for his Great Fireball Technique!

The problem was, his youngest son, Sasuke, was only five years old!

And at five, Itachi...

Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha shook his head slightly.

His eyes, however, grew increasingly fervent.

He had not expected that besides his youngest son becoming able to eat so much, his talent would be...

"Boom!"

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was lost in his shock, the Great Fireball at the target site suddenly detonated!

The massive fireball vanished, leaving behind a huge crater in the ground.

The surface was still wreathed in black smoke.

The distortion of the surrounding air was enough to prove the temperature within that crater.

Another surprise!

It seemed that Sasuke's body had indeed undergone some kind of strange change.

And it was a change for the better.

At a time when the clan's relocation was causing such frustration, the sudden appearance of such good news undoubtedly filled Fugaku Uchiha with great joy.

As for the voracious appetite... that was nothing!

"Very good."

"In the future, whatever you want to eat, tell Mikoto..."

"Forget it, I will hire a professional chef; I will arrange this myself."

"Continue with your training."

Fugaku Uchiha's face broke into a smile as he offered his praise.

He even took the initiative to mention providing Sasuke with extra meals.

"Thank you, Father..."

A smile appeared on Sasuke's face.

That's right, this had been his goal all along.

His deliberate performance today was specifically to solve the problem of his meals.

God knows what Sasuke had been through over the past few days just to get a bite to eat...

Every day, he had to spend a considerable amount of time just coming up with excuses to get Mikoto to cook for him.

Fugaku nodded, turned around, and left the training ground.

With the food issue settled, Sasuke resumed his training to master this stronger body.

Only after he had fully grasped his current power would Sasuke proceed to the next stage of his training.

He understood the principle that biting off more than one can chew leads to nothing.

This was the steady, measured approach he possessed as an adult.

The morning passed by in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master Sasuke, here is the lunch prepared for you."

"I will bring you a serving every two hours."

A woman, around the same age as Mikoto, appeared at the training ground.

I have to say, Fugaku Uchiha's execution is truly top-notch!
