Template's Revelation

[Detected that the host, in a training scenario, successfully guided Ki into an attack by imitating Vegeta Fighting Stance, triggering a qualitative change in the energy within the body]

[Imitation of "Vegeta Fighting Stance" successful. Template progress +8%. Current progress: 10%]

[Reward obtained: "Ki Sense (Intermediate)" upgraded to "Ki Control"]

[Ki Control: can control the fusion of Ki and chakra for short bursts, increasing the power of ninjutsu/taijutsu by 100%]

The corner of Arashi's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Sure enough, imitation was the key!

This feeling of gaining power, these shocked looks from others—it simply made him feel good all over!

Arashi raised his head and looked at Takayuki, who was still in a daze. His tone remained provocative.

"Well? Instructor, is this level of power good enough?"

Takayuki suddenly snapped back to his senses, and the way he looked at Arashi had completely changed.

It was no longer the severity and disdain from before, but full of shock and delight.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, only to realize he couldn't think of a single word.

This child's talent had to be reported to the elders immediately. After so many years, the Uchiha were about to give birth to another true "monster"!

"You..."

Takayuki took a deep breath and tried hard to make his voice sound calmer. "Come with me. I need to report to the elders."

Arashi raised an eyebrow and shrugged indifferently. "Whatever."

He wasn't afraid of any elders.

Strength was everything.

As long as he was strong enough, even the elders would have to treat him with courtesy.

Under a crowd of complicated gazes, he followed Takayuki out of the training ground.

By the time he came out of the elders' hall, the sky was already half dark.

The setting sun had dyed the clouds blood-red, looking just like the omen of the Uchiha massacre in his memories.

Arashi glanced up and clicked his tongue inwardly.

As an earthling who had transmigrated here, he knew all too well what the destruction of the Uchiha Clan was about.

But now wasn't the time for sentiment. His mind was still replaying the probing look the Uchiha elder had given him just now.

"Suddenly became stronger? Physical discomfort?" Arashi tugged at the corner of his mouth, perfectly clear in his heart.

How were those old guys concerned about him? They were clearly eyeing the reason behind his sudden surge in strength.

The elder's final conclusion was: the Uchiha's Sharingan possessed ultimate power, so anything was possible.

If Arashi hadn't known the real reason himself, he might have unconsciously believed that arrogant view of "the Uchiha bloodline is supreme."

After returning to his empty home, Arashi threw himself onto the tatami.

As a diehard fan who had grown up watching Dragon Ball in his previous life, although he preferred the protagonist Kakarot, he also understood Vegeta's temperament very well: proud, stubborn, and forever engraving "surpass" into his very bones.

So when he bound the [Vegeta Template], he immediately understood how he was supposed to play this.

Wasn't it just imitating that tsundere who went around saying, "I am the prince of all Saiyans"?

Humility, he might not know, but showing off? He was way too good at that.

[Vegeta Template]

[Host: Uchiha Arashi]

[Current progress: 10%]

[Unlocked abilities:]

[1. Saiyan Physique: chakra refinement efficiency +300%. Physical recovery, defense, and attack power are 3 times that of an ordinary ninja of the same age.]

[2. Ki Control: can preliminarily control the fusion of Ki and chakra for short bursts, increasing the power of ninjutsu/taijutsu by 100%.]

[Currently available missions: None. Please actively trigger events that conform to Vegeta's behavioral logic.]

"Conform to Vegeta's behavioral logic..." Arashi laughed softly.

Wasn't that simple? Proud, competitive, pathologically obsessed with power, and he also had to have a bit of a "sharp tongue but soft heart" streak—though he didn't plan on learning the soft-hearted part.

"But the progress is still too slow." Arashi frowned.

The abilities currently unlocked were only enough for him to run wild among his peers. They were still far from enough to survive in this cruel world.

He knew better than anyone in this world just how miserable the Uchiha's ending was. He had to increase his progress faster and unlock "near-death recovery" and "combat instinct." Those were the Saiyans' real life-saving trump cards.

How to increase it? Wasn't Vegeta's core just "battle" and "surpassing others"?

If he beat Kakashi, the publicly acknowledged strongest person in class, to a pulp, wouldn't that do it? Hehehe.

Just as he was thinking, knocking sounded at the front door. "Knock, knock, knock."

Arashi raised an eyebrow.

He got up and opened the door. Standing outside were Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.

Obito had a disdainful look on his face, while Rin looked worried.

"Arashi, are you okay? Everyone in class is saying your parents were killed..." Rin asked quietly.

Arashi sighed inwardly.

Of course he knew these two were key figures in this world. The foolish Obito would even become the big Boss in the later stages.

And Kakashi, whom he had mocked during the day, would become a hero who saved the ninja world in the future.

If he didn't have the template, he might have considered building a good relationship with them.

But now, he was a man with a cheat. Any troublesome matter, any troublesome person—he didn't want to get involved. Lying low and growing stronger was the true path.

He deliberately put on a stern face, tilted his eyes to the side, and imitated Vegeta's disdainful tone when speaking to cannon fodder. "Need something?"

Rin shrank back at his gaze, but Obito blew up. "What kind of attitude is that?! Rin came to see you out of kindness!"

"I don't need it." Arashi cut him off directly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them as if he were looking at irrelevant passersby. "If there's nothing else, leave. I still have to train."

"Train?" Obito's expression instantly turned indignant, and he reacted a little too strongly. "You're already this strong and you still want to train?! Are you even human?"

Arashi didn't waste words with him. A scarlet tomoe coldly appeared in his left eye.

When Obito saw the Sharingan, he immediately took a frightened step back. "You... you awakened your eye?!"

Arashi ignored him and only spat out one word. "Scram." His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with arrogance.

Obito gritted his teeth, grabbed Rin, and ran off. "Let's go, Rin! Don't bother with this guy! Be careful, he might go crazy and attack us."

Rin looked back at him, her eyes full of confusion, but Arashi didn't care.

Vegeta would never care about what others thought.

After closing the door, Arashi's cold face immediately broke into a low laugh. "The feeling of having someone care about you is actually pretty nice."

At that moment, the system panel popped up again: [Displayed Vegeta's disdain toward the weak. Progress +0.1%].

It was little, but little things added up.

He walked to the window, and moonlight spilled in.

As a transmigrator, he knew how dangerous the future would be: the Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Uchiha massacre, Pain's destruction of the village, the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Otsutsuki Clan's destruction of the world.

In short, if he had not awakened his memories of his previous life and the system template, he truly would have had no chance of survival.

But now, he had the Vegeta Template.

When Vegeta first appeared, he was already absurdly overpowered. One ultimate move could blow up the earth. Put that in the ninja world, and it would be complete dimensional suppression, killing everything in sight.

Not to mention Vegeta in the later stages, who kept growing and evolving, becoming trillions of times stronger!

With such an awesome cheat, what the hell do I have to fear?! I don't eat beef!
