13: 8 Years Old, Trying to Develop Muji

Upon seeing this, everyone in the chat room couldn't help but start discussing.

Might Guy: "What else can Sasuke practice next? Will he train in physical skills like me and Lee?"

Hatake Kakashi: "Taijutsu is indeed one possible direction. After all, Sasuke from the other world doesn't have much guidance in other areas."

Uchiha Fugaku: "It would be a waste of Sasuke's talent to only focus on physical training."

Namikaze Minato: "But things like Chakra Nature Transformation can't be learned without a Jōnin's instruction. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to figure out on your own."

Hatake Kakashi: "That's true. Even though I became a Chūnin at six, I didn't develop the Chidori until I was twelve, with Minato-sensei's help."

Kakashi's father, Konoha's White Fang, had taken his own life when Kakashi was young.

It wasn't until later, after joining Minato's team, that he mastered Lightning Style Nature Transformation under Minato's guidance and successfully completed the A-rank ninjutsu, Chidori.

But obviously, Sasuke from the other world doesn't have this advantage.

Without the chance to graduate early, it's not like a Jōnin is going to drop from the sky to guide him in Chakra Nature Transformation, right?

As if Jōnin were as common as cabbages!

Orochimaru: "If this problem isn't solved, Sasuke may have Chūnin-level strength now, but he could remain stuck at this level for a long time."

Namikaze Minato: "Maybe he'll meet a teacher who values him? Like how I met Jiraiya-sensei."

Hatake Kakashi: "But at that time, wasn't Senior Jiraiya out of contact with the Ninja World?"

Jiraiya: "Ahem, I was gathering research materials!"

The gold-framed screen continued playing.

[In the next period of time...]

[Sasuke spends a lot of time reading books.]

[His regular training focuses increasingly on physical conditioning.]

[For his other areas of practice, Sasuke tries to find training methods in the school library books.]

[But this proves to be quite difficult.]

[Further progress is hard to achieve based on books alone.]

[Moreover, there is very little information available on this subject.]

[During this period, although Sasuke expands his knowledge and sharpens his thinking skills, his training itself makes little progress.]

---

Many people sighed when they saw this.

As expected.

Even though Uchiha Sasuke from the other world is talented, he still needs the guidance of an experienced teacher.

Otherwise, his growth will be significantly slowed.

If things continue this way...

Though the Sasuke from the parallel world won't disappear, his genius-level abilities will undoubtedly be overshadowed.

---

[Six months passed.]

[Sasuke is now eight years old.]

[During this time, his body has grown rapidly.]

[He maintains a daily routine of physical training.]

[With Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino both preparing his meals, Sasuke's growth is impressive.]

[He is clearly taller than his peers.]

[However, when it comes to his other training, Sasuke can only keep searching through books.]

[Hoping one day to make a breakthrough.]

[One day...]

[Sasuke finds a book in the school library with no author name.]

"Summary of Ninjutsu Principles." The author's name... is blacked out?

[Sasuke is puzzled.]

[But judging by the title, this book might contain something useful.]

[He opens it and begins to read.]

"...In theory, as long as one has enough chakra, a high-quality chakra, and the ability to control it well, all ninjutsu can be performed."

"The quality of chakra mainly refers to Chakra Nature Transformation…"

"The ability to control chakra dictates the shape manipulation of ninjutsu…"

[As Sasuke reads, his eyes grow brighter.]

[This book... might hold the key to his further training!]

"... Regarding chakra control, it can extend down to the level of meridians and even acupoints."

"If one's control over chakra is refined enough, it's possible to direct the flow, speed, and amount of chakra within any meridian or acupoint!"

"If this level of control is achieved, hand seals could be discarded, allowing one to control the chakra's flow unaided."

"That is, Muji Ninjutsu!"

---

Orochimaru: "I remember this book. I wrote it."

That was back when Orochimaru was still in Konoha.

Apparently, some of the books he wrote were still circulating there, though his name had been removed.

Seeing Sasuke's excited expression on the screen, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Orochimaru: "Sasuke from the parallel world truly has a talent for understanding things."

Jiraiya: "Complete advanced training just by reading books? I don't buy it."

Orochimaru: "That depends on who wrote the book."

Jiraiya: "No way! Mastering Chakra Nature Transformation from a book? No one in the entire history of the ninja world has ever done that. If that Uchiha Sasuke can, I'll find your book and eat it!"

Orochimaru: "Jiraiya, don't forget what you just said."

Jiraiya: "..."

Suddenly, Jiraiya felt a little uneasy.

Kakashi, too, had been a prodigy who became a Genin at five, a Chūnin at six, and a Jōnin at twelve.

But even he only learned Lightning Style Nature Transformation after joining Minato's team.

Even if Uchiha Sasuke from the parallel world is a genius, could he really learn Chakra Nature Transformation from reading a book?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

---

[More than half a day passes.]

[Sasuke finishes reading the book.]

["So, my next steps should focus on improving chakra control and enhancing the quality of my chakra through Nature Transformation..."]

[Sasuke ponders deeply.]

[If I improve my chakra control enough, then Muji Ninjutsu could theoretically be possible...]

[It seems interesting enough to give it a try!]
