Chapter 5: Moonlight Meditation

Seeing Hinata working so hard, Sasuke's mouth slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.

"Are you still secretly training at this time? You are really hardworking," he thought to himself.

Compared with the Uchiha clan, the competition of the Hyuga clan is much more cruel.

Hyuga Hiashi was cruelly marked with the Caged Bird Seal just because he was born a few minutes later than his brother. It can be said that he was extremely unlucky. Not only that, but Hyuga Neji also suffered the same fate.

Fortunately, Hinata and Hanabi avoided such a tragic ending because Naruto became Hokage.

After observing for a while, Sasuke found that Hinata's training was coming to an end, so he decided not to disturb her anymore and turned away quietly.

On the way home, Sasuke's thoughts surged like a tide.

He couldn't help but think of his bloodline limit—Sharingan.

As a unique ability of the Uchiha clan, Sharingan is essentially a pupil technique. However, even among the Uchiha clan, only a very few people can successfully awaken it.

You should know that the conditions for awakening the Sharingan are extremely harsh. It is necessary to withstand extremely strong negative emotional stimulation, producing special chakra in the mind, and finally reflecting the changes in the eyeballs. This process can be called "awakening the eyes."

There is no doubt that in addition to hatred, there are various other emotional factors. For example, Obito awakened his Sharingan to protect his companions, and Sarada awakened hers due to her eagerness to see her father.

He had already awakened the single tomoe Sharingan because of the extermination of the Uchiha clan. Regarding the evolution of the Sharingan, Sasuke had his own unique insights. In his opinion, this is undoubtedly an external manifestation of the extreme strength of spiritual power.

However, many netizens believe that Sasuke only awakened a single tomoe after the massacre of his clan, and his talent does not seem to be very good. But Sasuke does not agree with this. You know, when Uchiha Madara first awakened his eyes, he was only 8 years old. Can it be asserted that Uchiha Madara's talent is far inferior to Sasuke?

Obviously, such a statement is difficult to justify. The only reasonable explanation is that the author Masashi Kishimoto did it intentionally to balance the combat power level between Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke. If Sasuke had really killed Naruto in the battle of the Valley of the End according to the original plot, he could have easily obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan at that time.

After all, Sasuke was only 13 years old at the time, just the same age as Uchiha Itachi when he awakened the Mangekyō, so it is impossible that Sasuke's own talent is inferior to Uchiha Itachi's. It's just that Sasuke is now closer to Sakura, Ino, and others. But the relationship between them is not deep enough to awaken the Mangekyō directly.

But even if he could, he wouldn't do it. After all, he has such a big cheat, and he still needs to kill women to become stronger, which is not pure flying? So Sasuke decided to find another way.

While he was thinking hard, he climbed onto the rooftop unknowingly. Looking far away, the whole Konoha Village was still brightly lit, presenting a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. It must be admitted that Konoha has done a great job in maintaining social order.

Then, Sasuke cast his eyes to the sky and was surprised to find that the moonlight tonight was so round and bright. The moon! Instantly, a thought flashed through Sasuke's mind:

"That's right, according to the descriptions in many fairy tales and fantasy novels, doesn't the moon symbolize the power of Yin? Perhaps this is one of the ways to improve the ability of the Sharingan!"

Thinking of this, Sasuke immediately opened his Sharingan and stared at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

Sasuke achieved enlightenment through careful observation of the moonlight, and combined the Yin power contained in the Sharingan with the meditation method mastered in his previous life.

[You observed the moonlight, combined with the Yin power of the Sharingan and the meditation method of your previous life, and achieved enlightenment to create the Moonlight Meditation Method.]

[Moonlight Meditation Method: This method aims to use the powerful energy of moonlight in nature, combined with a specific meditation posture, to absorb the essence of moonlight, so as to effectively temper and improve the quality of one's own spiritual power.]

"Finally, it's done! Next, let me personally verify the actual effect of this meditation method!" Sasuke looked forward with joy.

Sasuke sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands on his knees, palms facing up, then he slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a state of selflessness.

At this moment, the bright moonlight fell on Sasuke's body like a veil, as if covering him with a layer of silver gauze. What is amazing is that these moonbeams were not scattered randomly but penetrated into Sasuke's body at a uniform and stable speed. Under Sasuke's conscious guidance, these pure moon essences were summoned and converged towards his deep eyes.

This wonderful feeling was like immersing his eyes in warm and pleasant spring water, bringing unparalleled comfort.

In this process, Sasuke clearly realized that his Sharingan was approaching the critical point of breakthrough.

Time passed quietly, and it is unclear how long it had passed... When Sasuke opened his eyes again, the original one tomoe had actually evolved into two dazzling tomoe!

Obviously, this meditation method had a huge improvement on mental power. However, it should be because of the first practice that there is such a big improvement. The improvement in the future will not be as great, but he will not be picky if he can improve a little bit.

...

The next morning, the sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing. After Sasuke hurriedly finished his breakfast, he could not wait to rush to the Ninja Academy. Because today is a special day—graduation examination!

When Sasuke arrived at the school gate, he was surprised to find that a large group of people had gathered there. A closer look showed that these people were obviously the parents of his classmates. Some of the more well-known figures were the patriarchs of various families in Konoha Village!

For example, the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan, the Hyuga clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Aburame clan, etc.

At such an important moment, these parents were full of expectations, hoping to witness their children successfully promoted to real ninjas.
