Chapter 3 Leap in Skill Progression

Early in the morning, the streets of Konoha had just begun to brighten.

Sasuke couldn't wait any longer and headed out.

There were still seven days until the graduation exam.

During these seven days, he wouldn't need to go to school.

All he had to do was wait for the graduation exam at the ninja academy.

So, Sasuke could freely plan his time over these seven days.

After a quick breakfast, Sasuke went directly to a forest outside Konoha Village.

There were many nameless forests around Konoha.

He randomly chose a place that wasn't too far from the village, yet not too close either.

This area usually had very few passing ninjas, so Sasuke could practice here in peace.

He wanted to see just how terrifying this "perfect talent" given by the system could be.

Standing in a clearing in the forest, about half the size of a soccer field,

Sasuke realized it was more than enough space for training.

"Phew!"

He exhaled lightly and started to feel a surge of excitement.

The perfect talent had already shown an impressive effect on his chakra refinement.

So, how would it perform in ninjutsu or taijutsu training?

Since the only ninjutsu Sasuke currently knew was the Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu,

he naturally decided to practice that.

He raised his hands to form hand seals and, whether it was an illusion or not,

he felt like his speed in forming seals had increased.

It wasn't particularly noticeable, but once the hand seals were completed,

the chakra within him started to flow.

Sasuke tilted his head slightly forward, taking a deep breath.

The next second, *boom!*

A fireball, ten meters in diameter, shot out from Sasuke's mouth in an instant!

The chakra gathered in his throat instantly transformed into flames, forming the Great Fireball as Sasuke released it.

The flames surged forward, crashing into trees twenty meters away and igniting them with intense heat.

In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to charred remains.

Seeing the destruction caused by his Great Fireball Jutsu,

Sasuke was taken aback.

"This power… it's at least ten times stronger!"

"And this was just my first practice attempt!"

Sasuke could sense that if he tried again, he could do even better.

Not only was the Great Fireball Jutsu's power impressive, but it also consumed only about 20% of his chakra.

This meant that, with his current chakra levels, he could perform this jutsu five times.

Previously, he could only use the Great Fireball Jutsu twice before his chakra was depleted.

And the power was nowhere near what it was now!

Not only had the power increased dramatically, but the chakra consumption had also decreased.

"This… this is the effect of perfect talent?"

The change was terrifying.

Sasuke couldn't wait to try it a second time.

He raised his hands for the hand seals once more, and this time, he was even more surprised.

His speed in forming seals had increased again, cutting the time by a third.

After just one practice, to be able to shorten the time by a third was remarkable.

But that wasn't all.

In the next second, his chakra was mobilized with even greater precision, gathering in his throat even faster.

As Sasuke executed the move, he released another Great Fireball.

*Boom!*

This time, the Great Fireball was even more intense.

As it shot forward, the fierce flames created a wave of heat in the air,

which could be felt as a turbulent backdraft.

Even Sasuke felt a burning sensation on his skin from the heat.

The flames spread out, forming a fireball with a diameter of fifteen meters,

and surrounding the fireball were several rings of flame.

Although the rings were somewhat irregular,

the Great Fireball surged nearly thirty meters forward before slowly coming to a stop,

culminating in a powerful explosion that produced a ten-meter-tall flame cloud.

Under the glow of the fire, Sasuke himself was stunned.

The power was more than ten times stronger than the previous attempt!

The rate at which he was growing stronger… it was almost monstrous.

Looking at the path of flames he had created in the forest,

which was now even wider than the streets of Konoha Village,

he thought, "Just two rounds of training have led to such terrifying improvement!"

Sasuke looked up slowly at the fire spreading through the forest.

If he continued training at this pace, how powerful would his jutsu eventually become?

As powerful as an S-rank jutsu?

Or perhaps even stronger than an S-rank jutsu?

With that thought, Sasuke couldn't wait to continue.

But just then, he noticed his chakra was rapidly recovering.

The two Great Fireball Jutsu attempts had used up around 40% of his chakra.

But at Sasuke's current recovery rate, he could be fully restored in about four minutes.

In other words, he was recovering 10% of his chakra every minute.

This recovery rate left Sasuke in awe.

"This must be what the world of geniuses is like!"

Thinking back to his original talent, it was nowhere near this level.

The power of the Great Fireball alone was incomparable,

and just this rate of chakra recovery was on an entirely different level!

"Now, I'm the real genius Sasuke!"

Given the progress in his Great Fireball training, Sasuke felt that if he kept training,

he could become like Lord Madara capable of releasing a Fire Style so powerful that it would take an entire allied force of Water Style ninjas to defend against it!

"Let's keep going!"

*Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!*

*Boom!!!*

The terrifying storm of flames swept forward once more.

This time, the improvement was smaller than before,

but the jutsu's power still increased, and his seal-forming time shortened by another quarter.

Now, he could execute a Great Fireball Jutsu in about a second!

Unlike the original Sasuke, who could barely manage a small fireball after forming seals for ages,

the Great Fireball practice couldn't last forever; despite the faster chakra recovery, it wasn't unlimited.

After practicing five times, his chakra was nearly depleted, with only about ten percent left.

The increase in power of the Great Fireball Jutsu was clearly visible.

"A true ninja needs more than just powerful jutsu!"

"Time to start training in taijutsu too! And I'll need to work on kunai throwing and the Three Basic Jutsu!"

Sasuke was filled with determination.

When someone with maxed-out talent is also highly diligent, they're not just a genius; they're a monster…

Three essential actions for reading: Read, save, and give a reward!
