Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Although the allure of the Chakra Flame is strong for Sasuke,

achieving the pinnacle of nature transformation for all five chakra types is not something that can be done casually.

Therefore, it might be better to first focus on elevating the level of his Sharingan. Improving the Sharingan not only quickly enhances his strength but also brings him closer to awakening the Rinnegan.

Finding a room in the base, Sasuke immediately plunged into intense training.

As always, his relentless training made Orochimaru and others feel that Sasuke was still the same Sasuke, unchanged.

All he cares about is training and getting stronger, as if he has no other desires.

However, before starting his training, Sasuke informed Kimimaro.

He instructed Kimimaro to notify him once Orochimaru had finished preparing Jiraiya's body for burial.

After all, Jiraiya was a ninja of Konoha, and returning to his homeland after death would be the best end for him.

What Sasuke didn't know was that Orochimaru had kept a sample of Jiraiya's cells!

For cloning research.

Of course, research was one thing, but after completing his own studies, Orochimaru also began to meticulously prepare his old friend for his final rest, applying the most exquisite makeup.

Even in death, one should be presentable.

Meanwhile.

In the three great sage regions.

Mount Myōboku.

Naruto, who was in the midst of training, was suddenly awakened by Elder Fukasaku.

"Naruto!"

"What is it, old man? I was concentrating on refining my senjutsu chakra!"

"That feeling was getting stronger, and I was just a step away from figuring out what it was!"

Naruto complained, clearly troubled by the interruption.

Fukasaku looked apologetically at Naruto.

"Although I'm sorry to disturb you, what I have to say next should be very important to you!"

Hearing this, Naruto's first thought was, "Have you found Sasuke's whereabouts?"

Fukasaku smiled wryly; even if they had found that Uchiha Sasuke, they wouldn't specifically inform Mount Myōboku.

Konoha has plenty of ninjas; dealing with Sasuke doesn't necessarily require Naruto's involvement.

Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, and Konoha would not let him leave unless absolutely necessary.

Although!

Naruto himself claims that he can now control the Nine-Tails well.

And indeed, it seems to be true.

Fukasaku observed the incredibly strong senjutsu chakra fluctuations within Naruto.

This was partly due to the Nine-Tails' help in refining chakra within Naruto.

Otherwise, how could Naruto maintain such astonishing senjutsu chakra fluctuations at all times?

This is perhaps the blessing of being a jinchūriki!

"Naruto!"

Fukasaku's expression was very serious, prompting Naruto to drop his playful demeanor.

Sensing that something was amiss, he also became serious.

"What's happened? Elder Fukasaku, please tell me!"

After a few seconds of silence.

Fukasaku slowly raised his head.

"Little Jiraiya... is dead..."

These words instantly blanked Naruto's mind.

For a moment, Naruto was petrified.

Countless images of Jiraiya flashed through his mind; that pervy sage, dead!

Naruto's eyes visibly dimmed.

The light in them disappeared.

Only darkness remained.

Seeing Naruto's state, Fukasaku didn't know how to comfort him!

He continued, "Tomorrow is Jiraiya's funeral, will you return to Konoha to see?"

Hearing this, Naruto quickly nodded, "Of course!"

"No matter what, I must go back!"

"Good! I'll arrange it for you, wait a moment, I'll send you back to Konoha! But I hope you will continue to come to Mount Myōboku for training afterward, your training is not yet complete, I hope you will continue, do not give up, if only for little Jiraiya!"

Naruto nodded very seriously, "Don't worry! Elder Fukasaku, I will definitely work hard, absolutely... to complete that training!"

Meanwhile, at Orochimaru's base, Sasuke.

Suddenly opened his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for the Sharingan's advancement]

[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyou Sharingan (Stage 6) 1]

[Eye Techniques: Amaterasu (Awakened), Kagutsuchi (Awakened), Super Insight (Awakened)]

[Special Kekkei Genkai Ability: Susanoo (Mastered)]

After several hours of training, just as Sasuke had felt, his Sharingan was on the verge of a breakthrough.

The hours of training added the final push needed.

He broke through the fifth stage and reached the sixth stage.

Entering the sixth stage of the Sharingan, Sasuke felt completely different.

At this moment, Kimimaro entered.

"Sasuke-sama, Lord Orochimaru has finished preparing Jiraiya's body for burial, you may take it now!"

"Good! Then let's set off! To Konoha!"

Konoha Village!

Jiraiya's funeral, although it's natural to hold a funeral when someone dies, Jiraiya was one of the Legendary Sannin.

This funeral was something Tsunade insisted on, overriding all opposition.

Why was there opposition?

Simply because he was one of the Sannin, Jiraiya.

Even in death, as long as no one knew he was dead, any village considering action against Konoha would have to weigh the presence of Jiraiya.

After all, a ninja with full Kage-level strength would be a significant force in any war.

So concealing Jiraiya's death would be the best scenario for Konoha.

But Tsunade would not allow it; she would not allow Jiraiya to be used in death, even if it was to protect Konoha.

If Jiraiya were here, he might agree to such a method, but Tsunade is not Jiraiya, she absolutely would not agree.

Although Jiraiya's body was never found, they used his belongings in place of his body.

The overcast sky.

As if even the heavens were mourning Jiraiya's death.

In Konoha's ninja cemetery, a tombstone for Jiraiya was erected in the most prominent row.

All the Konoha ninjas who came to pay their respects were dressed in black.

After Tsunade and others paid their respects to Jiraiya, Naruto slowly stepped forward.

Placing a bouquet of flowers, he shed no tears, said nothing, and silently stepped back.

Naruto had cried enough back at Mount Myōboku.

Now, his heart was filled with nothing but endless sorrow, and sorrow at its peak brings no tears!

At this moment, outside Konoha Village, Sasuke had just arrived.

Through the sensing of the Web of the Mind, Sasuke felt somewhat frustrated!

Had he arrived too late?

The body hadn't even been returned, yet the funeral was already... underway... But it was just in time!
