Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

You call this unclear?

Despite his inner grumbling, as an experienced Jonin, he immediately understood Sasuke's meaning.

Sasuke probably didn't have a clear understanding of the precision and control he possessed.

"Well, that is a problem."

Kakashi put his hands back in his pockets, looking like he was really troubled.

"However, I happen to have prepared a little prop that can be used for testing in this situation."

As he spoke, he slowly rummaged through his ninja tool pouch for quite a while.

Finally, just as Sasuke's patience was about to run out, Kakashi pulled something out of his ninja tool pouch as if presenting a treasure.

It was an ordinary copper wire, and a few equally ordinary light bulbs.

Kakashi waved this so-called "testing tool" in front of Sasuke, a smug smile on his face.

"This is it! 'Kakashi's Special Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation Precision Control Tester'!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke stared blankly at the light bulb in front of him, his eyes lifeless, and a vein seemed to be throbbing on his forehead.

"This is the testing tool you were talking about?"

I have no idea where he took it from in his house.

Don't you think this is great?

Kakashi completely ignored Sasuke's look of disbelief and continued explaining to himself.

"You should slowly pour your Lightning Release chakra into the copper wire, like this."

He connected the copper wire to the light bulb, then gathered a wisp of lightning chakra at his fingertips and gently touched the copper wire.

After a slight crackling sound, the small light bulb in Kakashi's hand emitted a steady white light.

Throughout the entire process, the filament of the light bulb did not flicker at all, and the light was even and soft.

"See? That's it."

Kakashi withdrew his finger, and the light bulb went out. He then handed the other end of the copper wire to Sasuke and said with a smile:

"As long as Sasuke can light this light bulb without damaging it during the process, then your lightning chakra nature transformation will be completely successful."

"..."

Sasuke looked at the small light bulb in front of him, then at Kakashi's mocking face, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

Using such childish, play-house-like things to test yourself?

He snorted coldly, said nothing more, and took the copper wire directly from Kakashi's hand.

He wanted to see what was so difficult about it.

Sasuke took a deep breath and began to gather Lightning Release chakra.

However, the moment he tried to infuse chakra into the copper wire—

"Snapped!!!"

A crisp popping sound.

The small light bulb in his hand flickered only once before exploding into a dazzling burst of sparks, scattering glass shards everywhere.

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Kakashi held up the few intact light bulbs in his hand and tilted his head.

"Oh dear..."

He said in an exaggerated tone, "It seems that Sasuke's chakra is really full of 'vitality'."

"...This awful look of his is just as deserving of a beating as Urahara."

Sasuke cursed inwardly and snatched the remaining light bulb from Kakashi's hand.

Chapter 34 Who is the Genius?

Would learning the retcher technique be useful for me?

Sasuke had thought about that a long time ago.

In terms of destructive power, it is far inferior to the Takemikazuchi after its liberation.

Moreover, during its use, it is accompanied by thunderous sounds like the chirping of a thousand birds, making it unsuitable for surprise attacks.

Although the ninja's combat system seems to be completely inferior to that of the Shinigami, Sasuke knows that this is probably why he hasn't been able to access top-tier ninjutsu yet.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain how the Fourth Hokage managed to stuff that terrifying Nine-Tailed Fox into Naruto's body.

After learning this so-called nature transformation, I'll probably be able to start developing ninjutsu that suits me.

With that in mind, Sasuke Uchiha practiced for about half an hour while holding the copper wire, and finally mastered the method.

"Sizzle..."

After a slight hissing sound, the last intact light bulb finally emitted a steady white light.

"call......"

Sasuke exhaled softly and withdrew his chakra.

Although it was just lighting a light bulb, it still took some effort.

"Yosh, a great success!"

Kakashi clapped his hands and congratulated him in a relaxed tone, "Congratulations, Sasuke, you have perfectly mastered the nature transformation of lightning."

Sasuke glanced at him, casually tossed away the useless copper wire and light bulb in his hand, and gave a cold snort as a response.

Kakashi closed the book "Icha Icha Paradise" and became unusually serious: "Now that the nature transformation is no longer a problem, the next step is to train in the form transformation."

He walked to a spot not far from Sasuke and slowly raised his right hand.

"Watch closely, Sasuke."

In an instant, a pure lightning chakra gathered in his palm, and blue-white lightning was visible to the naked eye, crackling and sizzling, as if countless birds were chirping in his palm.

"By taking the nature transformation of lightning and the form transformation of chakra to their extreme, this technique is ultimately formed—"

Kakashi's eyes sharpened.

"Rachel!"

……

In the afternoon, when Naruto woke up in his hospital room, he immediately ran to the third training ground as usual, and instinctively wanted to shout at the top of his lungs.

"Sasuke! I..."

His voice was about to come out when it suddenly caught in his throat.

Not far away, Sasuke was in a strange pose.

He knelt on one knee, his right hand outstretched, palm facing up, a ball of blue-white lightning dancing in his hand, emitting a piercing shriek.

This made his already cold and stern face appear even paler.

"Uh......"

Upon seeing this, Naruto instinctively slowed his pace and lowered his voice considerably.

"He's cultivating again..." he muttered to himself.

Naruto scratched his head, glanced at Kakashi who was leaning against a tree reading a book and hadn't noticed him at all, and then looked at Sasuke who was training.

The initial enthusiasm cooled down instantly.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to disturb him.

Never mind, I shouldn't disturb Sasuke's training.

As Naruto thought this, his gaze unconsciously fell on the big tree next to him, which he had challenged countless times but had never succeeded in.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well start practicing!

He clenched his fist, encouraged himself, and his eyes regained their resolve.

We must succeed today!

He ran to the tree, took a deep breath, and recalled the key points Sasuke had taught him—

"Attach chakra to the soles of your feet like a membrane."

He closed his eyes and tried to feel the chakra within his body.

strangeness......

Naruto frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Today's chakra seems... unusually obedient?

The previous chaotic feeling has disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of smoothness.

Although I don't understand why, it's a good thing!

Naruto was overjoyed and stopped thinking about it, carefully guiding the smooth flow of chakra to the soles of his feet.

Then, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, he lifted his foot and gently stepped onto the vertical tree trunk.

We've stabilized!

"It...it worked?!" Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief.

He tentatively took a few steps upwards, his body firmly attached to the tree trunk, showing no sign of slipping.

Naruto's eyes widened with excitement as he continued climbing, his speed increasing.

He quickly rushed to the top of the tree and stood steadily on the very top branch.

"Hehe, I really am a genius!"

Looking down at the training field that seemed so small, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment instantly filled him.
