Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

The wind nature transformation was the last one Sasuke needed to master.

The difficulty of training had increased significantly.

However, three days of travel time for Sasuke was simply used to master one nature transformation.

It was far too easy.

Sasuke completed it in just two days.

He even used the breaks to study some jutsu.

And he advanced them to the level of proficiency.

Reaching the level of mastery was not so simple.

But training to the proficient level was not particularly difficult.

Earth Release!

[Earth Release ~ Great Mud River (Proficient)]

[Earth Release ~ Swamp of the Underworld (Proficient)]

[Earth Release ~ Earth Dragon Bullet (Proficient)]

[Earth Release ~ Earth Style Wall (Proficient)]

[Earth Release ~ Rock Iron Cannon Technique (Proficient)]

Five Earth Release jutsu were easily mastered without any challenges.

Although the chakra nature transformation for Wind Release had been mastered, Sasuke hadn't had much time to train wind-based jutsu.

By this time, they had already arrived at the Village Hidden in Rain.

He had only learned two Wind Release jutsu.

[Wind Release ~ Blade of Wind (Proficient)]

This jutsu was decent; it was used by Sunagakure jonin Baki to kill Konoha's Hayate Gekko. But now, Hayate Gekko was alive and well.

Even so, the skill was quite good. Chakra bursts from the fingertips and launches a blade of wind toward the enemy.

For Sasuke, who could form hand signs with one hand and at an incredible speed, this move could catch anyone off guard.

[Wind Release ~ Great Breakthrough (Proficient)]

Although the power of this jutsu depends on the user's ability,

Sasuke considered it quite impressive.

It could be combined with Fire Release, making it worth learning.

Sasuke also realized that the level of chakra nature transformations improved as he learned and used jutsu.

The progress continued.

[Chakra Nature Attributes: Water (45%/1), Fire (10%/2), Lightning (98%/2), Earth (12%/1), Wind (4%/1), Yin (27%/1)]

Among all his nature transformations, only Fire and Lightning had reached Level 2.

Indeed, Level 2 transformations were far superior to Level 1.

The same level of jutsu with the same amount of chakra produced drastically different results.

'It seems raising the level of chakra nature transformations is also crucial.'

Sasuke dispersed the Wind Release from his fingertips.

Then he looked ahead.

At this moment, Kimimaro stopped and said, "Lord Sasuke, we've arrived!"

"Akatsuki…"

Sasuke gazed at the familiar cluster of abandoned buildings in the distance.

"You wait here. I'll go and meet the members of Akatsuki myself!"

"This…"

"Don't worry. If anything happens, you can reach me immediately, can't you?"

That was true. Kimimaro nodded. "Alright! I'll wait here for you, Lord Sasuke!"

After instructing Kimimaro, Sasuke headed toward Akatsuki's location.

Bringing Kimimaro along was out of the question.

Kimimaro was now the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails. There was no way he could appear in front of the Akatsuki members.

Otherwise, the Three-Tails would undoubtedly be the first target they'd try to capture.

Leaving Kimimaro outside was the safest option.

Inside Akatsuki's base, Sasuke noticed a piece of white paper floating in the air.

He looked up!

Amidst the rustling of paper in the wind, a figure appeared.

'Konan!'

'Akatsuki's White Tiger…'

"You are… Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke nodded. He didn't mind Konan's icy tone.

After all, that was simply how Konan was.

"A brat like you… Can you really kill Danzō?"

Before Sasuke could respond, she continued, "Follow me. They're all waiting for you!"

Like a ghost, Konan floated forward.

She didn't care whether Sasuke could keep up, weaving through abandoned buildings.

Finally, she arrived at a building so dilapidated it couldn't possibly look worse.

Entering through a collapsed window,

She descended into the basement, navigating through a long, pitch-black tunnel.

At last, Sasuke sensed chakra fluctuations ahead. While not overwhelmingly strong,

Each of these chakra signatures carried a unique presence.

Strictly speaking, every member of Akatsuki was formidable.

Whether it was Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, Zetsu, Konan, Nagato, or even his brother Itachi Uchiha, they were all powerful ninja.

Practically all of them were Kage-level ninja. Even Hidan, with his seemingly simple skillset, was technically Kage-level.

Unfortunately, his overly simplistic mind led to his downfall buried alive.

Passing through the tunnel and turning a corner,

Sasuke came upon a massive underground space.

It seemed to have been a storage basement at one point, but now it was empty, with collapsed bricks scattered in the corners.

Counting the people standing at various positions, there were eight in total.

All of Akatsuki's members were present, except for his older brother, Itachi Uchiha.

Even Tobi was nowhere to be seen.

Nagato or rather, Yahiko's corpse looked at Sasuke.

"Sasuke Uchiha… our newest member of Akatsuki!"

"Code name: Kūjin. Akatsuki is now fully staffed!"

"So, I've decided to begin the Tailed Beast Capture Plan ahead of schedule!"

Hearing Nagato's sudden announcement, the other Akatsuki members were momentarily stunned.

No wonder they'd all been summoned; they thought it was just to welcome the new member. Kakuzu had been somewhat indifferent about it.

A new member, no matter how impressive, didn't seem worth the effort of gathering everyone.

"So, we're finally taking action? Those boring missions were such a hassle. Which Tailed Beast do we start with?"

"Let me go, leader!"

Hidan's eagerness was met with mild annoyance from Nagato.

But thinking about Hidan's lack of intelligence, Nagato chose not to argue.

"The first target…"

"The One-Tail Jinchūriki in Sunagakure!"

The One-Tail?

While it didn't seem particularly strong, Hidan still found it acceptable.

"Let us handle it!"

As Hidan spoke, Sasori prepared to interject.

Since it involved Sunagakure, it made sense for him to go.

"No… I'll go!"

Sasuke suddenly spoke, causing Hidan to freeze for a moment.

The other Akatsuki members also began scrutinizing Sasuke.

Kakuzu frowned. "Kid… Do you really think you're capable of capturing the One-Tail?"
