I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Bai Ye didn't answer Itachi's question, but instead turned to look at Sasuke.

"Die standing up!"

Without a second thought, Sasuke blurted out that the honor of the Uchiha clan would never allow him to live on his knees!

"Look, this is everyone's choice, Itachi."

After receiving Sasuke's answer, Byakuya turned to look at Itachi.

Sasuke looked back and forth between Byakuya and Itachi with a strange expression, as if they were implying something in their conversation.

"Alright, you probably still have missions to complete, go finish them first, I'll take care of Sasuke!!"

Looking at Itachi's speechless words, he would have burst into laughter if there hadn't been other people around.

This is what it means to be misunderstood by everyone, even your own brother thinks you did something wrong. Bai Ye wants to make this filial son experience this feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

The better days are yet to come!

Bai Ye has prepared more than just these!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 64 Mrs. Mikoto, you don't want Sasuke to be targeted in his training, do you?

"Clan leader, I feel like the way you and Onii-chan are talking is really strange."

Although Sasuke was still young, he could tell that there seemed to be something between Byakuya and his brother that he didn't quite understand.

"It's nothing, it's just that we have different understandings of some things."

Bai Ye smiled but didn't say anything at that moment.

Then, he stopped dwelling on the issue, stood up, pointed to the Uchiha training ground, and asked, "Let me see how strong you are now, Sasuke?"

At this stage, Sasuke probably only knew the Great Fireball Technique, and other than that, he only learned some required skills from the Ninja Academy.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

As Sasuke spoke, there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

He actually fell asleep very late last night. At that time, Sasuke was fantasizing that if he had Byakuya's guidance, he might be able to graduate early.

"Clan leader, I heard that you, like my older brother, graduated from the ninja academy early?"

Sasuke knew Byakuya and knew he was a genius no less than his brother, which is why he was so looking forward to today's training.

"Hmm, he graduated early. It seems Sasuke really wants to leave the Ninja Academy early?"

From Sasuke's expression and his undisguised tone, it's clear that Sasuke really wants to graduate early.

To be honest, graduating early in this day and age is not an easy thing, especially since this is not wartime.

"Of course, I don't want to play house with them at the ninja academy!"

Sasuke always believed that he could not learn anything at the Ninja Academy and could only waste his time there.

Similarly, he wanted to prove to his father and brother that he was no less capable.

Once he graduates, he'll be a true ninja, and no one else can treat him like a child anymore.

“Graduating early requires a team; otherwise, you'll have to form a team all by yourself, and I doubt your father would agree to that.”

Ultimately, graduating early depends on timing.

First, it's during wartime; second, it depends on whether there's a team to team up with. Otherwise, would a Jonin lead a ninja? Even a Jonin probably wouldn't consider that.

As for letting Sasuke go on missions, Fugaku Uchiha probably wouldn't agree to it either.

"If I graduate early, can't I take on tasks and complete them myself?"

Sasuke hadn't really thought of that. He was just thinking that if he graduated early, he could take on missions on his own and gain experience, which would be much better than wasting time at the Ninja Academy.

"Of course you can. Actually, the so-called Jonin leading Genin doesn't mean you have to do it. If you want to graduate early and do missions on your own, that's fine too. It's just that in the early stages, all the missions you take on are things like clearing weeds or finding pets. The reason there's a Jonin to lead you is because you'll have some missions outside the village later on. If it's your first time doing such a mission, there will inevitably be some unexpected things, and the Jonin can ensure your safety."

Actually, doing D-rank missions in the village wouldn't be a problem, but judging from Sasuke's appearance, he probably doesn't want to do those missions.

"How can I graduate early?"

"The graduation exam is easy; you just need to pass it. It's actually quite simple for you."

Logically speaking, if the Uchiha clan hadn't been wiped out, Sasuke would have graduated much earlier, given his talent and personality.

However, because the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Sasuke was essentially forced to waste several years at the Ninja Academy.

Furthermore, Konoha didn't actually have anyone capable of teaching Sasuke. Kakashi was half of one, but Kakashi himself knew nothing about the Uchiha clan's secret techniques, and his Sharingan was used very crudely in the early stages, so naturally he couldn't teach Sasuke anything. In fact, Sasuke's real growth was under Orochimaru's guidance; Konoha was too lenient.

If Sasuke had grown up normally, this wouldn't be a problem. But Sasuke has always carried hatred on his shoulders, and Konoha's actions were more about smoothing out Sasuke's rough edges and letting him have a few more Uchiha children in the village.

All the previous Uchiha who disobeyed died, but Uchiha blood is useful. It's impossible for the Third Hokage not to want more Uchiha to come.

"Then, Chieftain, please train me according to the graduation standards!"

Sasuke looked at Byakuya solemnly. Although Byakuya had just analyzed the pros and cons, Sasuke still believed that he wanted to graduate early.

Moreover, he didn't follow Bai Ye to cultivate because he wanted to be a slacker; he genuinely wanted to become stronger.

"Okay, if you're a good fit, I'll talk to the school and arrange your graduation exam."

It seems like it would be pretty good to let Sasuke graduate early.

It completely changed Sasuke's fate, and it was like a lottery opportunity.

"Then I'll leave it to the clan chief!"

Although he felt a little embarrassed that Byakuya had been taking such good care of him, Sasuke was clearly more eager to graduate.

"It's alright, Sasuke, come and see your strength."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he gestured to Sasuke that he could begin.

"Then I'm welcome."

Sasuke didn't use kunai, but prepared to fight Byakuya with taijutsu. The same moves were often used in battles at the Ninja Academy. To Byakuya, this punch was full of openings.

It seems the ninja academy doesn't teach any skills at all; it's really just child's play.

Back then, because it was a time of war, the ninja academy taught some combat skills. But in this peaceful era, even the ninja academy seems to teach more peaceful techniques.

"Caught!"

With a raised hand, Bai Ye directly restrained Sasuke's left hand, then held a kunai to Sasuke's neck. Its cold sharpness made Sasuke subconsciously swallow. If it had been an enemy, he would probably be dead already.

“Sasuke is too inexperienced. There’s no need to continue testing him. Let’s go train.” Saying this, Bai Ye glanced at Sasuke’s disappointed face, patted Sasuke’s shoulder, and comforted him, “You’re still young. The future belongs to you young people.”

"But... I was defeated by you, Chieftain, so easily."

Isn't that normal?

Bai Ye thought to himself, "If I can't deal with this student who just entered the Ninja Academy quickly, then I might as well give up being the head of the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke's dilemma was simply that he was the top student at the Ninja Academy, and he had a smooth run of success at the school, never losing to anyone. Although he had just thought that he would definitely lose to Byakuya, he didn't expect that he would be defeated by Byakuya before he even had a chance to use his ninjutsu or the Three Body Technique.

I heard that Byakuya has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. If he had used his Sharingan just now, I wouldn't even have had a chance to make a move.

"So you should know all about Sasuke's Three Body Techniques now, right?"

Actually, graduating in this era is relatively simple. As long as the teacher thinks you can graduate, then everything is fine. You just need to learn the simple Three-Body Technique and pass the academic courses. Basically, it depends on whether the teacher will pass you.

Since Sasuke has mastered the Great Fireball Technique, there's no reason he wouldn't know the Three Body Technique. Besides, he's not Naruto, who has the Nine-Tails interfering with his chakra.

"I understand now, clan chief. Are you going to teach me even more powerful ninjutsu?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Sasuke's eyes. He wanted to learn ninjutsu from Byakuya. Byakuya must know a lot of powerful ninjutsu. Once he learned them, he would definitely make Itachi look at him with new eyes.

"Before learning ninjutsu, you should lay a solid foundation. It's like a house; if the foundation is unstable, it's only a matter of time before it collapses. Before that, start by climbing trees."

Actually, if the Uchiha clan hadn't been wiped out in the anime, Sasuke would have learned to climb trees and wade through water long ago within the clan, instead of needing Kakashi to teach him.

Clan ninjas are ahead of commoner ninjas not only because of their bloodline, but more so because of their resources. Commoner ninjas have no resources and it is very difficult to stand out. Jiraiya was the Third Hokage's disciple, while Minato Namikaze had strong talent and his teacher was Jiraiya.

But how many genius commoner ninjas like Minato Namikaze are there in this world?

Ultimately, without bloodshed and resources, you can't go very far.

"Chief, are you sure you want to climb a tree?"

"Yes, attach chakra to your feet and then walk up like me. This will improve your control over chakra and prevent it from being wasted later. It is also the foundation for some of your subsequent abilities."

After hearing what Bai Ye said, Sasuke had no doubts. After seeing Bai Ye climb the tree like that, he was also eager to try it himself.

Climbing trees and wading through water are the most basic things.

Although this didn't offer much instruction, Byakuya wasn't as irresponsible as Kakashi; after telling Sasuke this, he said nothing more.

When Sasuke makes a mistake, Byakuya will remind him exactly where he went wrong.

"Chief, I think I'm ready!!"

Sasuke stood on the tree peak and waved to Byakuya below.

I have to say, Sasuke was really cute during this period. He was quite lively before experiencing the night of the massacre of his clan. But this guy stopped trying to be cool in front of me?

Bai Ye remembers their first meeting very clearly; he was still able to act cool and aloof.

"Great, great! Now it's time to wade in the water. It's much more difficult on flowing water than on trees!"

As expected, Kakashi's teaching is truly irresponsible. Now that someone is pointing it out, Sasuke's speed is clearly much faster than before, and the current Sasuke is definitely weaker than the Sasuke of that period.

This also shows that Kakashi didn't really put his heart into teaching the three of them at the beginning.

In just one day, Sasuke quickly mastered climbing trees and walking on water. He truly lived up to his reputation as the reincarnation of Indra. It was just a pity that Sasuke didn't give himself a chance to win the lottery.

I'm still missing Indra's and Ashura's chakra. Once I get those two, I won't even need the Eternal Eye to reach the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan does not necessarily require the Eternal Eye; what is required is the Sage Body and Sage Eyes, as well as the chakra of Indra and Ashura.

However, there is still plenty of time. Even if I don't win the lottery later, I will still have a chance to get it myself.

After finishing his day's training, Sasuke returned home and told Fugaku and Mikoto about his progress. Fugaku was quite surprised to learn that Sasuke had managed to walk on water and climb trees in just one day.

Unexpectedly, Byakuya taught Sasuke to climb trees and wade in water so quickly. Although it wasn't very difficult, it was already amazing that Sasuke could do it so quickly at his age.

"I never knew Sasuke was such a genius!"

Mikoto Uchiha covered her mouth and laughed. She didn't really care about any of that; it was only because he was Sasuke, her child.
