Facing Gensou's order to supplement the basics first, Sasuke had no objections and complied.

The one teaching him was Izumi.

As someone who had also activated the three-tomoe Sharingan early on, Izumi had undergone the complete Uchiha elite training. With solid knowledge in all aspects and unique meticulousness, she was the most suitable candidate within the Uchiha.

Thus, leaving Sasuke aside without much attention, Gensou began handling various internal affairs of the Hagoromo clan.

As both the spiritual and actual leader, his reappearance led the various branches of the Hagoromo clan, which had been developing a sense of independence, to quickly unify their thoughts and reintegrate into one whole.

In this aspect, as the clan leader, Gensou had a lot of work to do, understanding the entire situation of the Hagoromo clan and knowing exactly how much power he had at his disposal.

The benefits of having a backing force were perfectly displayed during the previous search for Shinnō and the investigation of Sasuke's movements.

Speaking of Shinnō, Gensou set aside the top-secret files of the Hagoromo clan members and looked towards Ali, who was temporarily acting as his female secretary, asking: "How is Shinnō, whom I had you bring back last time?"

"He remains in a state of detention," Hanare, dressed in a snow-white kimono and looking very elegant, replied. "Additionally, we extracted very important information from his memories."

Hanare had already prepared a scroll recording the information about Shinnō and handed it to Gensou.

Gensou took it, opened it, and saw detailed information about Shinnō's identity as the leader of the Sky Country, the number of remaining Sky Ninjas, their weapons, and the so-called Zero Tails.

Gensou glanced at Hanare, who stood respectfully with her hands clasped at her abdomen, thinking of the information he had read about her before.

This woman, who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko on the outside, was actually a very formidable intelligence ninja.

Her unique eye-sealing technique, which used her eyes to form seals, left even Gensou astonished after he learned about it.

As a specialist in intelligence, Yamanaka Inoichi had fallen into her hands, unable to extract any useful information and, unknowingly, had all the confidential information in his mind copied.

This gave Gensou a deeper understanding of Konoha.

Thus, one should never underestimate others.

Among many ninjas, there would always be talents that even he would marvel at.

"Leave the Sky Ninjas aside for now; there's no need to act against them."

Gensou set the scroll down and shook his head slightly.

Although Shinnō was captured, because of his long-term wanderings in the ninja world and for secrecy, the Sky Ninjas seldom contacted him. There was no need to worry about the leader's capture exposing the situation.

Gensou himself didn't think highly of the Sky Ninjas, as his initial approach to Shinnō was merely for his medical forbidden techniques.

As for the Zero Tails, which was claimed to be the "Tail-less Tailed Beast," he didn't care about it, considering he didn't even take the real tailed beasts seriously.

However, regardless of the Zero Tails or the Sky Ninjas who hated Konoha and the Five Great Nations, they were ultimately a force. When the time was right, he would use this chess piece.

For now, they had been hiding quietly for so many years without being discovered by the major ninja villages; let them continue to do so.

"Hanare, make some tea."

As Hanare meticulously served him, Gensou picked up another document and continued with his daily routine as the clan leader.

...

Seven days later.

In the training ground of Lock Village.

Sasuke was moving at high speed through a series of traps set specifically for him.

A large number of kunai, shuriken, and steel wires shot at him from various tricky angles.

Sasuke opened his Sharingan, moving fluidly and making evasive actions that ordinary people couldn't imagine. Simultaneously, he pulled shuriken from his ninja pouch, seemingly scattering them randomly but actually colliding with the incoming kunai and shuriken with precise calculations, creating continuous clashes in the air.

Ding ding ding~~~ The clear sound of metal clashing was like a beautiful melody, playing for a long time.

"As expected of an Uchiha."

Outside the field, Hanare, who had followed Gensou, clapped lightly.

Beside her, Izumi, who had a calm demeanor despite her youthful appearance, said quietly, "This is the standard an Uchiha should have."

Compared to when he first arrived, Sasuke had made great progress. The flaws and gaps he previously had were quickly filled under her guidance.

As expected of his brother.

Equally gifted.

Before long, the dazzling dance of ninja tools on the field came to an end.

Sasuke stood quietly, without any damage on his body.

Centered around him, within a ten-meter radius, various ninja tools were neatly and orderly embedded in the ground, forming a seemingly patterned arrangement.

"Gensou-sama." Izumi looked at Gensou seriously, "Sasuke's strength has been solidified again. Further improvement will require long-term training."

"I understand."

Gensou nodded, walked up to Sasuke, and without wasting words, handed him two scrolls:

"One is the training method for the Chidori Stream, and the other is research on the form and nature transformation of fire and lightning chakra. Your task for a long time is to master them. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me. Of course, I hope the fewer times you ask, the better."

Unlike many teachers who complained about not finding any joy in teaching talented students, Gensou preferred students who could learn on their own.

Just like himself, who could learn by watching once, without troubling others.

Samui was similar.

He only needed to mention something once or twice, and she could gain insights and fully comprehend it.

He believed Sasuke would be the same.

"Thank you, Gensou-sama, I will definitely achieve it!"

Sasuke politely and solemnly accepted the two invaluable scrolls.

In just this short time, he had felt progress he had never experienced in Konoha.

And this was without Gensou personally intervening.

He eagerly anticipated the knowledge Gensou would truly impart.

Sasuke was well aware that this would be his real means to defeat Itachi.

"Just wait! Itachi! One day, I will avenge my parents, Izumi's mother and grandmother, and all the Uchiha who died that night!"

With a heart burning with passion and hatred, Sasuke swore to himself.

"Good luck."

Although regardless of Sasuke's strength, Itachi's fate would ultimately be to lose to him, Gensou wouldn't reveal this and dampen Sasuke's spirit.

After patting Sasuke's shoulder, Gensou's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Later, he appeared in front of a cemetery.

After standing there for a long time, Gensou collected his thoughts and returned to reality.

Now that things were almost settled, once the final touches were done, it would be time to set off for Konoha.
