14: Reading "Make Out Paradise", Sasuke Opens the Door to a New World

Ohnoki: "Am I seeing this right? Is he trying to use Muji?"

Fourth Raikage: "The most important thing is... this Uchiha Sasuke, he's only eight years old!"

Eight years old!

For the average ninja, mastering a single elemental jutsu at that age would be impressive.

And here is Uchiha Sasuke from the parallel world, attempting to develop Muji Ninjutsu!

Terumi Mei: "You make it sound like he can do it just because he wants to! Muji is not that easy!"

Hatake Kakashi: "Simplifying hand seals would already be a huge achievement, let alone eliminating them entirely..."

Senju Tobirama: "If one's chakra control is strong enough, it's possible to simplify hand seals. For example, I can perform the Water Dragon Bullet Technique with only four seals."

Terumi Mei: "I can only simplify it down to six."

Zabuza Momochi: "..."

He still had to use the original forty-four seals...

Senju Hashirama: "Hand seals aren't just a combination of—"

Senju Tobirama: "Brother, shut up!"

Senju Hashirama: "..."

Senju Tobirama: "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean others can!"

The golden-framed screen continued.

[After confirming the direction and method for his next training, Sasuke began developing a practice plan.]

[With his body developing, Sasuke could now create three Shadow Clones.]

[According to his plan, the original body would focus on chakra refining and physical training.]

[One Shadow Clone would study to supplement his knowledge, another would practice chakra control, and the third would focus on Chakra Nature Transformation.]

[Sasuke discovered that his chakra had dual elements: fire and lightning.]

[His affinity with lightning was slightly stronger than fire.]

[Therefore, for Chakra Nature Transformation, Sasuke chose Lightning Style.]

[As for attempting Muji Ninjutsu, Sasuke chose his most familiar technique: the Great Fireball Technique.]

[According to the method described in the "Summary of Ninjutsu Principles," he would control the flow of chakra through his meridians, gradually reducing the number of hand seals until none were required.]

[A month later...]

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

[A ball of fire was successfully expelled.]

[But this time, unlike before, Sasuke had performed it without using any hand seals!]

"...That wasn't particularly hard."

[Sasuke was a little confused.]

[Did he just perform his first Muji Ninjutsu?]

---

There was silence in the chat room.

After a while...

Jiraiya: "Did we skip something? How did he suddenly master Muji Great Fireball?"

Hatake Kakashi: "Is Muji really that easy?"

He had copied thousands of jutsu, but the only ones that didn't require hand seals seemed to be Rasengan.

Orochimaru: "It seems this Sasuke's level of genius exceeds my expectations, ha ha."

Senju Tobirama: "This kid is abnormal..."

Senju Hashirama: "Isn't that normal?"

Senju Tobirama: "Just as abnormal as you, big brother!"

In the Pure Land...

The Sage of Six Paths was also watching the live comparison.

"Uchiha Sasuke... he must be the reincarnation of Indra in this generation."

The Sage of Six Paths thought.

Sasuke from the parallel world reminded him of his eldest son, Indra.

In fact, the very first ninjutsu didn't require hand seals.

It was Indra who developed the hand seal system, making jutsu easier to perform.

Sasuke's talent for Muji Ninjutsu reminded the Sage of Indra...

---

[After mastering Muji Great Fireball, Sasuke began attempting other Muji jutsu.]

[With his prior experience and improving chakra control...]

[He tried more and more new Muji techniques.]

[However, his progress with Chakra Nature Transformation was slower.]

[Though Sasuke felt he was making headway, it would still take time to master Lightning Style Nature Transformation.]

[One day...]

[Sasuke was reading in the ninja school library.]

[A book with an orange cover caught his attention.]

["Make Out Paradise"? What's that?]

[Sasuke was puzzled.]

[On the cover, a running man and woman were depicted, but nothing was clear.]

[He opened the book and flipped through a few pages.]

Snap!

[He quickly closed it.]

[Sasuke's face turned slightly red.]

"I shouldn't look, I shouldn't look... This is one of the three ninja taboos!"

[Sasuke told himself, but then he couldn't help reopening Make Out Paradise.]

"..."

[Fine, just one look. Satisfy my curiosity, and that's it. I won't get hooked.]

[...Half a day passed.]

Jiraiya: "..."

Hatake Kakashi: "Congratulations, Sasuke, on opening the door to a new world!"

Uchiha Mikoto: "How is that kind of book in a ninja school library?!"

Uzumaki Kushina: "I knew it, you have to be careful with children around Jiraiya..."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

Is this book really that interesting?

I see Kakashi-sensei reading one every day, but I've never read it myself.

Should I buy one and take a look?

Sasuke shook his head vigorously.

What am I thinking? Revenge is what matters!

---

"Sasuke, is that a copy of...what?"

[Iruka-sensei suddenly appeared, looking at the book in Sasuke's hand, stunned.]

[Sasuke's brain froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.]

"Iruka-sensei, is this your book? I didn't see a name on it."

[He handed the book to Iruka.]

[His expression was calm.]

[As if he had just picked up a random book.]

Today is a day of heartache, I remembered my ex, guys.

Play the song "Villager - Até que durou":

"...Até que durou - ...While it lasted

Me diz o porquê - Tell me why

Perdeu tanto tempo aqui - You wasted so much time here

Te faço um favor - I'll do you a favor

Melhor eu sumir..." - It's better if I disappear... 🕺💃
