Chapter 3 - 3: Indra Chakra

Did he mistake me for Itachi? Kazuki paused, but his movements didn't stop in the slightest. Two kunai were also thrown by Kazuki, and at the same time, he swiftly moved towards Sasuke. While moving at high speed, Kazuki quickly formed hand seals, took a deep breath, puffed out his stomach, and gathered Chakra there. Clang! Clang! Four kunai collided in the air. Seeing Kazuki rapidly approaching him, Sasuke's heart tightened. He knew what hand seals Kazuki was forming. Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, the signature Ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke also knew it. It was just that he didn't use it particularly well. Thinking of his father's disappointed expression at the time, and his evaluation of himself versus Itachi, Sasuke's stubbornness flared up. He formed hand seals, and facing Kazuki's Great Fireball, he also spewed out a "massive" fireball. However, when Sasuke's Great Fireball and Kazuki's Great Fireball collided, in just a moment, Kazuki's Great Fireball, which was almost twice the size of Sasuke's, engulfed Sasuke's Great Fireball and pressed down towards Sasuke. Seeing his Great Fireball instantly crushed, Sasuke's pupils sharply contracted and he immediately dodged. Fire Release: Unkillable Jutsu, as expected, it didn't disappoint. After all, it was somewhat obstructed by Sasuke's Great Fireball. The fireball grazed Sasuke's body, and Sasuke narrowly dodged it. But before Sasuke could be happy, his expression suddenly changed. His surroundings were actually covered with Explosive Tags that were about to ignite. "Did you think I didn't know that the Great Fireball can't kill anyone?" Kazuki sneered. As soon as the Great Fireball Jutsu was used, he had already set up Explosive Tags near Sasuke with kunai and steel wire. To deal with Sasuke, this was enough. Then, without giving Sasuke a chance to speak, the Explosive Tags around him exploded, engulfing the unwilling Sasuke. [Ding, congratulations to the Host for defeating Sasuke, gaining pure Indra Chakra. Do you wish to merge?] As the battle summary appeared, Kazuki's consciousness returned to reality. Killing Sasuke was much easier than he had imagined. However, this was not incomprehensible. After all, Sasuke at this stage was indeed a bit lacking. It was unknown if he had awakened his Sharingan, and even if he had, he wouldn't know how to use it. No one had taught him the Lightning Release that he specialized in. Compared to Fire Release, Lightning Release was clearly more suitable for Sasuke. Even after he grew up in the future, most of Sasuke's supporting Ninjutsu were Lightning Release, not the Fire Release that the Uchiha clan was proud of. Everything Sasuke knew, he knew. Most of what he knew, Sasuke didn't. Sasuke, who died before even achieving success, was thus ambushed and killed by an old schemer. And through this battle, Kazuki also figured out a way to quickly defeat early-stage opponents. The Combat Arena did not prohibit the use of Explosive Tags. Perhaps he could prepare more Explosive Tags to face powerful enemies in the Combat Arena. However, Explosive Tags were strategic materials, and Konoha had some control over individual purchases of Explosive Tags. It was somewhat unrealistic for Kazuki to want to stockpile a large number of Explosive Tags. Moreover, Explosive Tags had some effect when used against ordinary Ninja, but if used against powerful individuals, a small number of Explosive Tags would not have much effect. What Kazuki didn't expect was that this time, the drop was actually Indra Chakra. This was Sasuke's biggest cheat in the future. Moreover, this was pure Indra Chakra. Kazuki didn't need to worry about being subtly influenced by this Chakra. If he had the chance to fuse with Asura Chakra, would he be able to awaken the Rinnegan? Kazuki didn't even plan to transplant Hashirama cells. He was just waiting for the Combat Arena to refresh Hashirama or Naruto as opponents in the future. If defeating them dropped Asura Chakra, that would be even better. "Merge!" Kazuki quickly murmured to the Combat Arena. Almost instantly, Kazuki felt a special energy appear within his body. Under the influence of this energy, he felt his ocular power instantly increase by nearly double, and his Chakra also increased by at least fifty percent. Moreover, this was just the beginning. Kazuki could clearly feel that the Indra Chakra would continue to subtly enhance his physique, Chakra, and ocular power in the future. It may seem like there's nothing going on with the Uchiha except their Sharingan and their physique and Chakra are weak but that's not true. It's just that they were just not as good as the Senju and Uzumaki clans. In fact, with each upgrade of the Sharingan, the wielder's Chakra also increases. An Uchiha with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan typically has at least twice the Chakra reserve of an ordinary Jonin. The only downside was that Kazuki could clearly feel that his Chakra seemed to have become much colder due to Indra Chakra. Of course, this could all be explained. Generally, after an Uchiha awakens their Sharingan, the Chakra within their body also changes. "Kazuki, dinner is ready, come eat!" As Kazuki was marveling at the power of the Combat Arena, Mikoto's voice came from the kitchen. "Coming!" Kazuki quickly got up and walked towards Mikoto. Mikoto's cooking was excellent. In just half an hour, Mikoto had prepared a sumptuous dinner for Kazuki. Beef with scrambled eggs, stir-fried greens, braised chicken pieces—these were all recipes Kazuki had told Mikoto about before. Mikoto was indeed a natural born virtuous wife and good mother, she easily learned these recipes. Watching Kazuki eat with great relish, Mikoto rested her chin on her hand, a smile gracing her lips. It seemed that uncle Kagami's sacrifice hadn't had too much of an impact on Kazuki. She had worried that Kazuki would undergo a drastic change in personality like other Uchiha. "I plan to go back to school tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you with lunch, Mikoto." Kazuki said to Mikoto while eating. Kazuki's words made Mikoto pause. "So soon? Aren't you going to rest at home for a few more days?" "It's fine, Mikoto, I've pretty much recovered." Kazuki shook his head slightly. He didn't tell Mikoto that he didn't have much affection for Kagami. Some things... Just understanding them in his heart was enough.
