Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Seeing that Sasuke seemed to have made up his mind, Orochimaru found it increasingly interesting. Now that he thought about it, it seemed more fun to watch others stir up storms and change the entire world than to constantly be the one doing so himself.

"Sasuke Uchiha, if you've made up your mind, you can tell me which tailed beast you want to capture, and I will help you gather intelligence as much as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke became slightly cold.

What is this?

Is Orochimaru trying to become his secretary?

Having someone like Orochimaru as a logistics officer wouldn't be too bad.

After all, Orochimaru might not have many other skills, but his ability to dig tunnels and build bases is top-notch.

There are countless Orochimaru laboratories throughout the ninja world, and this guy has minions everywhere.

Each one of them is quite capable, and gathering intelligence would indeed be no problem for Orochimaru.

"Alright! I'll think about it first!"

Orochimaru smiled upon hearing this.

Seeing Orochimaru's attitude toward Sasuke, it immediately made Kimimaro and the four sound ninjas wonder.

Could it be that Orochimaru is trying to train Sasuke as his successor?

Looking at Orochimaru's demeanor, it seemed like he was saying, "Whatever you do, I support you."

If he wasn't training Sasuke to be his successor, there's no way he'd be this tolerant toward him!

But whether or not Orochimaru is trying to train Sasuke, Kimimaro was genuinely grateful to him now.

"Thank you! Lord Sasuke!"

After speaking, Kimimaro bowed deeply to Sasuke.

This made Sasuke feel somewhat awkward.

Sasuke was still quite shy when faced with such things.

"Alright! If anyone should be thanking anyone, it should be me thanking you. You don't need to do this!"

Sasuke's words made Kimimaro feel even more guilty toward Sasuke.

His original intention was never to save Sasuke, he was just trying to complete Orochimaru's orders.

But now, Sasuke had done so much for him.

"If you have any orders, Lord Sasuke, please let me know!"

After speaking, Kimimaro turned to leave.

Seeing this, Orochimaru didn't say anything and also prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Sasuke spoke up and called Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-sama!"

"Sasuke-kun... do you have any shocking ideas to share?"

Hearing this, Sasuke was speechless. "I don't know if it's shocking, but I do want to ask one thing. I'm wondering how to train in the earth nature transformation!"

Earth?

Earth nature transformation?

Orochimaru was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, Sasuke had already mastered the nature transformations of fire, lightning, and water. For a high-level ninja, what Sasuke had already mastered was terrifying.

Now, he wanted to train in earth nature transformation?

Once he succeeded, Sasuke would have mastered four different nature transformations.

Compared to his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would only be one short.

Sasuke's ambition was quite large!

Did he want to become an all-around ninja like Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Mastering five nature transformations and becoming the second Doctor of the Ninja World?

"Sasuke-kun, unless you have a special purpose, ninja don't really need to master multiple nature transformations. Instead of wasting time on this,"

"it would be better to practice the jutsu you already know more!"

Orochimaru's advice was well-intentioned, but for Sasuke, there was no need to consider it.

"I understand, but there's no need for unnecessary words. I just want to know how to train in earth nature transformation!"

Seeing this, Orochimaru naturally stopped talking.

Once Sasuke made up his mind, there was no room for negotiation.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't say more. Training in earth nature transformation is actually quite simple."

With that, Orochimaru took out a balloon from his pocket.

He casually blew it up and placed it in his palm, making chakra flow.

The balloon visibly started changing, but not in its shape.

It was a change in its structure.

The balloon gradually turned to stone, eventually becoming a rock that Orochimaru held in his hand.

"This is the earth nature transformation turning other objects into earth."

"This balloon, which turns to stone within two seconds, would count as successfully training in earth nature transformation."

Just as Orochimaru was about to explain more about chakra attributes and nature transformation, Sasuke had already taken the balloon and started practicing.

Using chakra to transform the structure of the balloon and turn it into stone.

It completely altered its structure.

This was not an easy task to accomplish, especially for a beginner. To complete this step, one would typically need about five days of effort.

This was assuming the person was practicing their first nature transformation.

As one progresses, the difficulty of training multiplies due to the increasing number of nature transformations mastered.

The more transformations one has mastered, the easier it is to mix them up during practice.

Given Sasuke's attempt at the fourth nature transformation, it was likely that it would take several years, and even then, this first step would be impossible to complete in a short time.

....

Orochimaru watched Sasuke as he held the balloon, which hadn't changed at all.

"Sasuke-kun, training in nature transformations is not that simple!"

"I hope you still remember what I just said. Unless you have some special reason, it's best to focus on the nature transformations you've already mastered!"

"Otherwise, you might bite off more than you can chew!"

After saying this, Orochimaru left.

Sasuke was left alone in the training ground, continuously trying to change the chakra nature.

Orochimaru probably thought that Sasuke would give up soon.

However, one hour later...

Sasuke, drenched in sweat, held up a stone, a smile on his face.

"Finally done!"

Just transforming the first balloon took Sasuke a full hour.

Trying to reduce the time to around two seconds seemed unrealistic.

But Sasuke didn't think that he would take so long the next time; he believed that he could cut the time in half and complete the transformation.

"I'll try to master earth nature transformation before setting out to capture a tailed beast!"

If he succeeded, he could use the reward from earlier and gain the Wood Release kekkei genkai.

Once he obtained Wood Release, Sasuke was confident that he could take his Sharingan to the next level.

While Sasuke was training intensely, back in Konoha, something big was happening...
