Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

"Lightning Style, Fire Style, Water Style!"

"The number of jutsus mastered has already met the requirements, so there's no need to worry about it anymore."

"Although I've mastered Earth Style, I haven't learned any jutsus for it. I'll ask Orochimaru for a few jutsus."

"And I might as well get some Wind Style jutsus too. The nature transformation of Wind Chakra shouldn't be too hard to master!"

While speaking, Sasuke walked out of the training grounds.

At the entrance, Kimimaro silently followed behind him. Sasuke glanced back at him.

"You don't need to follow me. I'm going to rest for a while. In the meantime, ask Orochimaru to gather some jutsu scrolls for me and find the location of the Akatsuki."

Sasuke had promised to locate the Akatsuki's whereabouts before, but he still hadn't actually met any of its members.

Joining them would require a formal meeting at least once, right?

After training continuously for so long, Sasuke was indeed exhausted.

Now, he just wanted to rest for a bit. Kimimaro nodded, "Understood. I'll take care of it."

Hearing this, Sasuke nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that having someone like Kimimaro or Haku around wasn't so bad after all at least he didn't need to handle these trivial matters himself.

For Orochimaru, jutsu scrolls were the easiest thing to acquire.

As for the Akatsuki's location, while it was somewhat challenging to pinpoint, it didn't require Orochimaru to search.

In fact, Zetsu had already given Orochimaru the means to contact them.

Zetsu even asked Orochimaru to pass along the message to Sasuke: once his training was over, he should get in touch as soon as possible.

But over the past few days, Sasuke had been busy with training, and Orochimaru didn't want to disturb him.

When Sasuke finally woke up from his nap...

Orochimaru was waiting for him in a room.

When Sasuke arrived, Orochimaru pushed a set of scrolls across the table toward him.

"These are the Wind Style and Earth Style jutsu scrolls I could find. Take your time studying them, Sasuke-kun."

"And here's the contact information for the Akatsuki. White Zetsu left a clone outside the Sound Village. You can find it directly."

"I've also had Haku and the others prepare your travel gear and a set of fresh clothes for you."

While collecting the scrolls, Sasuke suddenly glanced at Orochimaru in surprise. This guy was pretty good at logistics.

Everything was meticulously prepared, and Orochimaru even anticipated that Sasuke was planning to leave.

He had even gotten travel necessities ready ahead of time.

"Haku wanted to accompany you, but I turned her down for you. Once she reaches Kage-level strength, I believe she won't be a burden to you, Sasuke-kun."

Hearing this, Sasuke nodded. Orochimaru was quite capable. Having someone like him as a manager and babysitter meant Sasuke could save a lot of energy.

"There's one thing I should warn you about, Sasuke-kun. When you meet the Akatsuki's leader, you'd better be cautious."

"That guy is not simple."

With that, Orochimaru stopped talking.

He simply watched Sasuke, who nodded in response and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

Sasuke turned and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, he suddenly sighed.

Turning back, he slowly said to Orochimaru, "Actually, even souls sealed by the Reaper Death Seal aren't impossible to retrieve. There's a mask wearing it and cutting open the Reaper's belly can release the souls trapped inside."

"However, the person who cuts open the belly won't survive. But for someone like you, that shouldn't be a problem."

After saying this, Sasuke left directly.

He left behind a thrilled Orochimaru. A mask... releasing souls!

Recently, Orochimaru had been researching ways to heal his arms, and he had concluded that without his soul, his arms couldn't be restored.

But the information Sasuke shared today could allow him to recover his arms.

"I never expected Sasuke-kun... to know something like this!"

"It's really touching!"

Tears even glistened in Orochimaru's eyes.

At that moment, Sasuke arrived at the base entrance and saw Kimimaro waiting for him.

Kimimaro also had a strange wristband on, similar to Sasuke's, seemingly with storage functions.

Not bad!

"Let's go! Time to find the Akatsuki!"

The moment Sasuke and Kimimaro stepped out of the base, White Zetsu sensed it.

At the same time, White Zetsu relayed this information to Obito.

"Sasuke has arrived!"

Hearing this, Obito immediately sat up and looked back at Zetsu. "Prepare for the newcomer's welcoming ceremony."

"I've already informed Nagato. He'll take care of it."

"Sasuke already knows the location of the Akatsuki base and is heading toward the Rain Village."

"At their current speed, they should arrive in about three days."

To get from the Sound Village to the Rain Village, they would have to cross the Land of Fire.

And the Land of Fire was far from peaceful now!

Although Konoha's internal conflicts had mostly settled, a new issue had emerged.

There seemed to be a standoff between the Land of Fire's Daimyo and Konoha's Hokage. Whoever gave in first would lose their influence.

This was the first time a gap between a hidden village and its nation had occurred.

Meanwhile, the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village was itching to rally surrounding nations to launch another attack on Konoha.

But since Konoha's internal strife had ended, the Raikage had missed the best opportunity. Now he was hesitating.

The smaller surrounding nations, fearing Konoha's retaliation, temporarily banded together to defend against it.

Tsunade, on the other hand, announced that she would not pursue the matter, giving these small nations a temporary sigh of relief.

This decision also discouraged the Raikage from invading Konoha, at least for now. It seemed like peace had returned.

But Sasuke sighed.

If the Akatsuki began their plan to capture the Tailed Beasts now, the ninja world would undoubtedly be thrown into turmoil again.

A recently extinguished flame is the easiest to rekindle.

"Sasuke-sama! Are you practicing the nature transformation of Wind Chakra?"

Sasuke and Kimimaro were traversing the Gobi Desert in the Land of Fire, slowly advancing through the endless yellow sands.

Bored, Kimimaro asked this question.

"Yeah, that's right."

"But haven't you already mastered Lightning, Fire, Water, and even Earth Style? Why continue to learn Wind Style?"

For Sasuke, wasn't his repertoire of jutsus already more than enough?

"Because mastering each chakra nature transformation seems to enhance the power of chakra itself."

"Although it's not obvious in regular situations, in a prolonged battle, the strength of your chakra becomes evident."

Hearing Sasuke's explanation, Kimimaro was momentarily stunned. Mastering more chakra nature transformations had such an effect?

No one had ever discovered this before. Even Orochimaru probably didn't know.

"If you have the time, you could try mastering more chakra nature transformations too. But there's no need for you to learn additional jutsus. Your Kekkei Genkai is already very powerful."
