Educating Sasuke

The shield-breaking continued, and the people in line stepped onto the arena one after another, yet no one was able to deal any significant damage.

[Mini Chakra Fruit]

[Host received a critical reward, obtained Giant Chakra Fruit]

[1,000 taels]

[Host received a critical reward, obtained 10,000 taels]

[One C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu]

[Host received a critical reward, learned all C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu]

About an hour passed.

It was finally Sasuke's turn.

He was incredibly excited; he could get rewards again!

Having opened a Sharingan from a White Blind Box, he thought he could pull other good things from another one.

"Hehe, big brother, I'm back!"

Sasuke flashed a toothy grin at Bao'er and Zhou Cheng. Even at his young age, he knew the importance of building good relationships, calling out "big brother" with every breath.

Zhou Cheng smiled faintly. I don't hold much hope for you right now; go back and train for a few more months.

"Good luck!"

Sasuke nodded heavily, then his eyes transformed into the Single Tomoe Sharingan.

He formed hand seals rapidly.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

A massive amount of flames spewed from his mouth, rushing toward Zhou Cheng.

The flames instantly engulfed Zhou Cheng, but this time, no one thought he would be burned to death.

There had been too many face-slapping moments already; they had learned their lesson!

Sure enough, as the flames dissipated, Zhou Cheng stood in place completely unscathed, his expression not even changing.

-435.

[Damage dealt: 435 points]

[Shield remaining HP: 9,999,999,928,127]

[Damage rank: White]

[Obtained reward: White Blind Box]

Sasuke's mood instantly dampened; how could the damage be so low?

It didn't even reach the green rank.

"So low!"

Seeing Sasuke like this, Zhou Cheng smiled faintly and offered comfort, "You're already very strong, aren't you?"

"If you could deal purple-rank damage right now, how would that leave any room for others to live?"

"Compared to the first time, your damage has doubled; that's already a huge improvement!"

"You've awakened the Sharingan and eaten a Chakra Fruit."

"Strength must be built step by step!"

"If your power leaps forward too quickly without being grounded, something terrible will happen!"

A look of gratitude appeared on Itachi's face. Is the senior teaching Sasuke?

"Take this, it's your reward!"

A White Blind Box appeared in Zhou Cheng's hand, and he tossed it to Sasuke.

Seeing the blind box, Sasuke immediately beamed.

After catching it, he opened it right away.

Inside lay a small fruit, resting quietly.

[Mini Chakra Fruit]

[After consumption, increases chakra reserves]

[Host received a critical reward, obtained Giant Chakra Fruit]

[After consumption, increases a significant amount of chakra]

"A Chakra Fruit!"

"Awesome!"

The current Sasuke was still very easy to satisfy.

There was no clan massacre, no hatred, and his parents and brother loved him; he lived a very relaxed life.

Without a word, he tossed the fruit into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

In just a moment, the amount of chakra in his body rose by a small margin.

"That's equivalent to a month and a half of training!"

"I've become stronger again!"

Sasuke clenched his small fist, his face beaming with a smile.

Two days of effort being worth three months of chakra training—it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.

Itachi and Shisui were also happy for Sasuke.

The stronger he became, the higher his survival rate would be when the conflict eventually erupted.

However, the two of them would never let that matter affect Sasuke.

"Congratulations on getting stronger. Now, use the power you've gained to attack me!"

"The higher the damage, the better the reward!"

Zhou Cheng smiled, tempting Sasuke, though he held no real hope in his heart.

Without the drive of hatred, if Sasuke hadn't awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he would basically only be getting Blue Blind Boxes.

Sasuke put away his smile, having already prepared himself mentally.

After finishing the hand seals, he spat out a large amount of flame from his mouth.

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"

The flames rushed toward Zhou Cheng in a straight line, moving at an incredible speed.

Boom!

Zhou Cheng was instantly engulfed by the flames.

No one thought anything would happen to Zhou Cheng from flames of this level.

Even with such powerful flames earlier, Zhou Cheng had remained completely unscathed.

As the flames dissipated, Zhou Cheng stood in his original spot, still smiling faintly.

-543

[Damage dealt: 543 points]

[Shield remaining HP: 9,999,999,927,584]

[Damage Rank: White]

[Obtained reward: White Blind Box]

Sasuke's little face scrunched up; he was clearly very dissatisfied with his damage output.

"Why is my damage so low? It doesn't even reach a fraction of my brother's."

Hearing his words, everyone laughed.

How old are you, and what is your current strength?

If you could reach the level of the two recognized geniuses of the Uchiha Clan right now, you would be the greatest genius in the history of the ninja world.

You have to remember that Shisui Uchiha is recognized as the strongest of the Uchiha.

"Don't worry!"

"You're still young. Your brother and Shisui both grew up slowly from the age you are now!"

"With your talent, your future is promising!"

Although Zhou Cheng was comforting Sasuke, he was muttering to himself internally.

If Itachi knows the direction of the future, I wonder if he will still choose to massacre the clan.

If there is no massacre and Sasuke loses his hatred, will he still grow as rapidly as he did originally?

But that's not something I can control!

Although Itachi can't kill me, if you let the entire Uchiha Clan die, my shield-breaking progress will be greatly reduced.

"Alright, here is your reward!"

A White Blind Box appeared in Zhou Cheng's hand, and he tossed it to Sasuke.

Sasuke took it happily and couldn't wait to open the blind box.

Inside the box lay a rice ball.

[Ordinary Rice Ball x1]

[Replenishes physical strength and satiety after consumption]

[Host triggered a critical hit reward, obtained Chakra Rice Ball x1]

[After use, it can replenish the total amount of chakra]

Zhou Cheng's eye twitched. Has your newbie protection period ended?

But that was fine; he wasn't losing anything anyway!

"It's actually a rice ball!"

"Even though I like eating rice balls, I don't want to pull one out of a blind box!"

Sasuke's face fell, looking thoroughly displeased.

He had originally hoped to pull some kind of decent reward.

He hadn't expected this kind of result.

"Big Brother, can you give me one more chance?"

Sasuke put on a pitiful expression, hoping to use it to sway Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng smiled faintly. In your dreams!

"Impossible!"

"Everyone only gets two chances a day!"

"Isn't it just because you didn't get two good rewards?"

"Setbacks are a part of life; no one can have smooth sailing forever!"

"After you graduate from the Ninja Academy, you will need to follow a jonin teacher to carry out missions."

"When you encounter an enemy, will you be able to ask them to give you another chance?"

"Besides, even if I gave you another chance and you still didn't pull the reward you wanted, would you want me to give you yet another one?"

Sasuke lowered his head at Zhou Cheng's words, feeling as if he were facing his own stern father.

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!"

Sasuke walked toward Itachi and Shisui, who were off the arena, while holding the rice ball.

"Sasuke, you must remember what Senior Zhou Cheng said!"

"Every word is reasonable!"

Sasuke kept his head down, not daring to look at his brother.

"Brother, I'm going to class!"

With that, he ran off without looking back!

Zhou Cheng glanced at the sky; it was already approaching noon!
