From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 459 Tyrant, Sasuke!
Sasuke followed Jiraiya on a journey to find Tsunade.

Our first stop was Tanabata Street, because of recent rumors that a big fish had come to the casino there.

Her distinguishing features include golden twin tails, an astonishingly large chest, two girls by her side, and a pet pig in her arms. Based on these clues, Jiraiya concluded that it was Tsunade.

Along the way, Jiraiya took the opportunity to teach Sasuke how to control his chakra.

Sasuke, of course, lived up to expectations, learning at an astonishing speed and often applying what he learned to other situations.

Often, he could grasp the key points directly without Jiraiya having to delve into the teaching, a skill that Jiraiya experienced firsthand when teaching Minato Namikaze.

They are both exceptionally talented and possess remarkable comprehension skills.

Sasuke gave Jiraiya the feeling of being a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing knowledge.

In less than a week, Jiraiya felt completely drained because Sasuke's learning speed was simply too fast. He was even considering whether to entrust Minato Namikaze's ninjutsu to Sasuke.

Logically speaking, the Rasengan was a ninjutsu developed by Minato Namikaze, and should have been entrusted to his son, Naruto Uzumaki.

But now, Naruto Uzumaki is with Orochimaru.

Jiraiya thought it over and over, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind and decided to wait and see.

Tanzaku Town, as the largest commercial and entertainment center in the Land of Fire, is home to a considerable number of wealthy merchants and nobles, as well as ninjas who come for vacation and leisure.

We met at the hot spring hotel before dark.

Jiraiya generously pulled out a few bills and stuffed them into Sasuke's hand: "Next, I'm going to find out where Tsunade is. You can just find a place nearby to hang out for a while."

"Are you going to a brothel?" Sasuke brushed a strand of hair from his side and said calmly, "It's okay, I understand, I won't say anything."

"Who told you that?"

Jiraiya's lips twitched; his thoughts had been seen through, and he felt inexplicably guilty.

"Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke said calmly, "Before he left, he said you really enjoy drinking with courtesans and asked me to keep an eye out for that."

"Damn Kakashi, I'll give him a piece of my mind when I get back!" Jiraiya muttered to himself, then coughed a few times and said, "Anyway, this is how a mature ninja gathers information. You're still young, you'll understand when you grow up, okay, little girl!"

"Then I'll go train."

Sasuke frowned slightly, not wanting to waste time on such a meaningless activity.

However, Jiraiya slapped her on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little girl, this is the lesson I want to teach you. Sometimes, proper rest and relaxation of your tense nerves can yield better results. Only with sufficient rest for both body and mind can you continue to strive and fight."

"You mean you want me to go and rest?" Sasuke asked.

"That's right, let's treat today as a holiday and get some rest."

Jiraiya knew very well that Sasuke wouldn't rest without this reason, so he said, "What awaits you next is even more rigorous special training!"

Having said that, Jiraiya abandoned Sasuke and, with cheerful steps, disappeared into the crowd.

Sasuke took a deep breath and smiled, "Then... let's relax a little."

She has never had a moment's peace since Naruto Uzumaki betrayed the village.

During this time, following Jiraiya's training, her mood changed a lot. She not only learned a lot of knowledge in the snow, but also felt her strength improving every day.

These days are tough and put a lot of strain on the body.

Taking this opportunity, Sasuke decided to rest for a day in preparation for even more rigorous training in the future.

Tanabata Street is truly prosperous, with a dazzling array of shops that even Sasuke from Konoha couldn't help but be overwhelmed by.

Ultimately, she was just a little girl in her early teens, lingering in one shop after another.

Sasuke, with an apple candy in his mouth, was strolling along the shopping street when he suddenly saw a shop and, as if inexplicably attracted, walked over without thinking.

The shop wasn't very large, tucked away in a narrow alleyway in the commercial street. Inside sat an elderly man dressed in a plaid shirt and beach shorts, looking like a tourist, humming an unknown tune and seemingly in a good mood.

What Sasuke found somewhat strange was that there was a cup on the shop stall filled with a sticky, bizarre liquid.

Sasuke didn't know how to describe it. The liquid in the cup was viscous and slippery, flowing as if it contained surging waves, and you could even see lightning-like trails inside.

"Welcome, little girl~"

At this moment, the old man humming a song raised his head and looked at her meaningfully: "I guess you must be thirsting for power to have come here, right?"

"A thirst for power. What does that mean?"

Sasuke immediately became alert, secretly gripping his kunai, his muscles tensing.

"Don't be so nervous, little girl from the Uchiha clan~"

The old man, with his legs crossed and a smile on his face, said, "I'm not a bad person. As for this shop, only those who crave power will step into it."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Without hesitation, Sasuke turned and was about to leave.

Have you really thought this through?

The old man made no attempt to stop you, and said calmly, "Once you leave here, you will never come back, and you will miss an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Little girl from the Uchiha clan, deep down you crave power.”

The old man spoke slowly, as if speaking in a demonic voice: "Your clan was slaughtered, and you are one of the few remaining bloodlines. Your friends betrayed the village, and you were powerless to stop them, Uchiha Sasuke. Have you thought it through now? Leave or stay, the choice is yours."

It must be admitted that the old man's words deeply touched Sasuke's most vulnerable spot.

She took a deep breath, then turned to the old man at the stall: "What opportunity?"

The old man pointed to the slippery, viscous liquid in the cup on the stall and smiled, "This is your opportunity, an opportunity to step into a completely new field."

"What is this?" Sasuke asked, frowning.

“We call it a ‘potion,’ something that can allow people to enter the realm of the extraordinary.”

The old man's lips curled slightly, as if he were watching a fish that had taken the bait, and he said, "Your friend has drunk a potion similar to this and has already stepped into the realm of the extraordinary. The gap between you and him will widen rapidly. This potion from the 'Tyrant' pathway can grant you extraordinary power."

"Tyrant. Then, what method did Naruto use?"

Sasuke picked up the cup and asked.

"He is a means."

The old man said lightly.

"If I drink it, will I gain power?"

Sasuke held the cup, still somewhat hesitant.

"Of course~"

The old man, much like a salesman, earnestly urged, "Soon, the entire ninja world will undergo tremendous changes, and you will be among the first pioneers!"

"Okay, I believe you!"

Sasuke herself didn't know why she trusted the old man, but she drank the liquid in the cup without hesitation.

The path of a tyrant.
