Uchiha clan complex II

The sun began its descent as Sasuke Uchiha, now with the spirit of Igor Ivanov, wandered the silent streets of the former Uchiha clan compound. The desolate landscape mirrored the recent tragedy. The homes that once housed one of Konoha's most powerful families were now empty, save for him.

"So much destruction... it gives one a profound sense of loneliness. Now I see why there was such a strong attachment to hatred; without a clear goal in mind, Sasuke might not have been able to resist the sorrow." Sasuke (or Igor, in his mind) pondered as his eyes scanned each house. Determined not to give up, he decided to search every nook and cranny of his clan. "But if Danzo and his Root have already been here, what can I really expect to find? They probably looted everything of value." Still, he refused to leave a stone unturned.

The first house he entered was completely trashed, with furniture overturned and drawers thrown open. Sasuke sighed, realizing that finding anything of value here wouldn't be easy. He climbed the stairs to the second floor and found a small chest hidden at the back of a closet. As he opened it, his eyes narrowed to find only old notes and scrolls of no practical use. "If that's all that's left, you're going to waste my time here," he muttered, frustrated. But he knew giving up wasn't an option.

Moving on to the next house, he began searching every corner, opening cabinets, secret doors, and hidden shelves. Hours passed, and Sasuke, now exhausted, found a small chest in the basement of one of the main houses. Upon opening it, he was relieved to see a ninja scroll—something that Danzo had certainly left behind. He quickly unrolled the scroll, his eyes fixed on the words that revealed the technique: [Ho Shunshin no Jutsu] (Body Flicker Technique).

"Interesting... a fire-based movement technique." Sasuke read the description carefully. The user would be enveloped in flames and disappear, reappearing in a nearby area. "Moving like that could be useful... perfect for close-quarters combat." He rolled up the scroll and put it away, already thinking about how he could use it to increase his mobility in future battles.

With the first scroll in hand, Sasuke was encouraged and continued his search. He entered the next house, which seemed to have been looted less, but was still quite messy. In the living room, he found another scroll, this one containing a technique called: [Katon - Hibashiri] (Fire Release: Fire Running). "This seems more offensive," he muttered, reading the description. The technique involved releasing fire chakra onto the ground, forming a circle around the opponent and trapping them in a ring of flames. "Simple, but effective. It will be useful for surrounding enemies and limiting their movements."

Sasuke rolled up the scroll and placed it with the other. He felt he was making progress, but there was still much more to be done. His memories as Igor told him that power was the key to surviving in this violent world, and every jutsu he found brought him one step closer to becoming the warrior he wanted to be.

However, the search proved to be slow. In two other houses, he found nothing of value—just old, damaged scrolls, irrelevant documents, and overturned furniture. "Danzo may be a tyrant, but his people are terribly inefficient," he complained, annoyed that Root agents had looted so much yet still left behind some useful techniques.

Finally, after hours of searching, Sasuke came to another house that seemed more promising. In one of the rooms, he found another scroll. This one had a title stamped on top indicating it was a sword technique, something that immediately caught his attention: [Kumo Ryuu - Kaengiri] (Cloud Style: Flaming Slash).

"A perfect technique for someone who wants to become a swordsman," Sasuke thought excitedly. The description indicated that the user would gather fire chakra into their sword and then deliver a flaming strike to the enemy. "This will be perfect for me. If I can get a decent sword, combining this technique with other Katon-style techniques, I will become even more deadly."

Satisfied with the discovery, he continued his search. Night was approaching, but Sasuke knew he needed to keep going before it got completely dark. He entered the last house of the day and, after a careful search, found one more scroll. This one was different from the others. The title stamped on top indicated it was a sword technique, something that immediately caught his attention: [Kumo Ryuu - Kaengiri] (Cloud Style: Flaming Slash).

"A perfect technique for someone who wants to become a swordsman," Sasuke thought excitedly. The description indicated that the user would gather fire chakra into their sword and then deliver a flaming strike to the enemy. "This will be perfect for me. If I can get a decent sword, combining this technique with other Katon-style techniques, I will become even more deadly."
