Chapter 75: Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura have taken an interest in the host!
Chapter 75: Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura have taken an interest in the host!
Night had fallen.
In a training ground in the Village of Locks, Yuyi Xuan Yue stood in the center, facing the approaching Sasuke. With a calm expression, Yuyi said, "Don't hold back. Go all out."
Knowing that Yuyi was assessing his abilities before imparting further instruction, Sasuke, who had always sought greater power, would usually have been excited to engage immediately.
However, on this occasion, he did something unusual. Instead of rushing into action, he bowed respectfully to Yuyi and sincerely expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Lord Yuyi, for all that you have done for the Uchiha clan."
From this day forward, he would no longer see himself as an orphan, but as a member of the renowned Uchiha family.
Yuyi waved away the thanks. "It's only what I should do. Also..." He glanced at Sasuke and added, "Starting tomorrow, pay close attention to your studies in the history of the ninja world."
"Yes," Sasuke replied, his tone conveying his eagerness to follow Yuyi's instructions to the letter.
In Sasuke's eyes, Yuyi Xuan Yue now held an extremely high status. If Kakashi had asked him to review history, he would have brushed off the request. But when Yuyi gave an order, Sasuke treated it like a mission that must be accomplished.
The training ground soon echoed with the sounds of their sparring. However, the session didn't last long before it came to a quiet end.
[Ding!]
[Main Quest: Dominate the Ninja Academy (Completed)]
[Congratulations, host! After a grueling battle, you have defeated Uchiha Sasuke, the perennial top student at the Ninja Academy, scion of the prestigious Uchiha clan, possessor of a powerful Sharingan, and the reincarnation of Indra. With this victory, you have risen from obscurity to claim the top spot, achieving your goal of dominating the Ninja Academy. But your true journey of reversal has just begun. Look forward to the day when you step out of the small pond of the Academy and reverse the fortunes of the entire ninja world!]
Listening to the system's notification in his mind, Yuyi Xuan Yue regarded Sasuke, who was already breathless and unable to muster any strength just a few minutes into their encounter.
And Yuyi himself hadn't even moved from his spot.
Indeed, it had been a "grueling" battle.
Yuyi, now quite familiar with the system's quirks, continued to read the notification.
[Calculating rewards...]
[Reward: Insights into Countering Illusions; Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu; Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu; Uchiha Fluid Style]
[Alert! Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, has taken an interest in the host!]
[Warning! Danzo Shimura, Advisor to the Fire Shadow, has taken an interest in the host!]
The rewards were exactly what Yuyi had expected. Ever since he drew abilities that were basic and practical rather than earth-shattering from the Newbie Gift Pack, Yuyi understood that the system doled out rewards in a step-by-step manner. Defeating a genin wouldn't earn him a Kage-level reward.
He chose to ignore the Harem Technique, as it was a special case due to the Newbie Mission.
Among the rewards from this mission, Yuyi paid no heed to the Fire Style jutsu or the Uchiha Fluid Style. However, the Insights into Countering Illusions, which offered strategies to counter Sharingan illusions, caught his attention. Although these insights were useless to him now, the novel perspectives they offered could spark new ideas.
"Analyzing this, the system seems to assess my current strength as being at the level of a jonin, the kind that even jonin instructors at the Ninja Academy can't match," Yuyi mused.
With standard jonin-level chakra, the Wood Style jutsu, throwing techniques, the Mikazuki no Mai sword style, the Uchiha Fluid Style, and two fire-style jutsu—this combination would indeed place him among the elite jonin. Dominating the Ninja Academy was, of course, a simple matter with such abilities.
But what was this about Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura taking an interest in him?
The Third Hokage was already dead and gone.
Or so one would think, but apparently not according to the system's understanding.
"Sarutobi, you will regret this!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
Yuyi could imagine Sarutobi and Danzo arguing over him in the Hokage's office, with the latter storming out in anger.
"It's a relief that I arrived decades earlier, so I don't have to deal with these two old men," Yuyi thought to himself.
Shaking his head, Yuyi returned to the present.
Sasuke, who had just been completely exhausted, managed to stand straight again.
Yuyi looked at him and frowned slightly. "Your foundation is much weaker than I expected."
Yuyi was blunt in his assessment, not considering Sasuke's sensitive pride.
Hearing this, Sasuke's expression turned grim as he clenched his fists tightly.
He wasn't upset with Yuyi but with himself and his own inadequacies.
Although Sasuke had a proud and stubborn personality, there was one thing about him—he listened to the words of those stronger than him, and he was willing to truly face his flaws instead of covering them up like others did, deceiving themselves.
Yuyi continued, "It seems that the teaching standards at the Konoha Ninja Academy are quite mediocre. With your three-tomoe Sharingan, you should be displaying much more power. Even the Uchiha with their eyes yet to awaken surpass you. Not to mention, you're far behind the Uchiha Madara, who hadn't even activated his Sharingan at your age."
It was common knowledge that Madara Uchiha had awakened his Sharingan at the age of fifteen, and comparing him to Sasuke, who had already evolved his Sharingan to three tomoe at the age of twelve, made Sasuke seem like a mediocre talent at best.
However, combat was not just about statistics.
The truth was that Madara Uchiha, even without his Sharingan, could easily defeat Sasuke Uchiha.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, who was very familiar with both of them, could vouch for that.
"Is that the Uchiha Madara?" Sasuke asked, his knowledge of history surprisingly adequate, especially regarding the Uchiha clan, which had left a deep impression on the village of Konoha.
Yuyi nodded. "After the downfall of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, you, Sasuke, were left to fend for yourself, exploring and practicing Uchiha jutsu and the Sharingan on your own. It seems you lack the proper guidance. From now on, the Uchiha here will help you strengthen your fundamentals."
When the Uchiha clan fell, Konoha reaped the benefits of a thousand years of their accumulation—their land, wealth, jutsu, and more.
All that was left for their sole survivor, Sasuke, was a new house, a considerable fortune by personal standards, and a few scrolls containing Uchiha jutsu.
He did not receive the complete Uchiha legacy, nor did he undergo the systematic training unique to the Uchiha clan, and his Sharingan techniques were rather crude.
If not for Orochimaru, who had been spying on the Uchiha and was well-versed in the Sharingan, constantly consuming forbidden drugs to enhance his power, Sasuke would never have become a threat to Itachi, even with another ten years of training.
Yuyi had no intention of letting Sasuke walk down that dark path.
Whether it was the Uchiha clan or the Yuyi clan, their thousand years of existence had honed their methods for nurturing talented individuals to perfection.
It was only due to limitations in population and resources that the overall strength of the clans couldn't compare to that of the ninja villages.
However, when it came to elite education for individuals, their methods were undoubtedly far more effective than those of the five great ninja villages.
