**"I'm going for it!"**
Sasuke’s mind was made up.
With a steady breath, he pulled the lever of the system’s slot machine. The screen lit up, the machine spun rapidly, and 50 of his precious system points vanished.
**Current System Points: 16.**
“Enough,” Sasuke muttered, trying to reassure himself. “Sixteen points is more than enough for basic training tonight. I just need a bit of luck here.”
The slot machine whirred loud...

Sasuke’s final words marked the peak of his grand performance, leaving Rock Lee utterly awestruck.
“Sasuke, thank you!”
Tears shimmered in Lee’s eyes. As a ninja devoted to taijutsu, he fully grasped the significance of what Sasuke had just shared. Without this guidance, these revelations might never have crossed his mind.
**This is life-changing!**
**As expected of a genius!**
Sasuke’s insights were unparalleled, his w...

The numbers blinked before Sasuke’s eyes.
+13.
**Awesome. Cool.**
These were the only words Sasuke could think of to describe his current state. Back in his old world, he only used these words when hyping Naruto with fellow fans. But now, standing here and using them on actual characters?
This feeling was... unique.
**Interesting. Very interesting.**
Sasuke was starting to find genuine enjoyment in his newfound talent ...
**What just happened?**
Sasuke stared at Rock Lee, utterly bewildered. This was not how he’d imagined things playing out.
Yet there was Lee, kneeling earnestly in the puddle, his wide eyes shimmering with unshed tears. It didn’t seem like an act.
**Could there be some misunderstanding?**
Sasuke decided to wait and see what Lee had to say.
“Ahem...”
Clearing his throat, Sasuke struck a thoughtful pose: left hand behind his b...

“What do you want?” Sasuke shuddered slightly under Aizen’s gaze, feeling uneasy. If he could, he would avoid this guy altogether.
But Uchiha Itachi was so close, and all of his years of effort had been directed toward killing this man.

If there were any chance at all, he wouldn’t want to miss it.

Hebi had not disappointed him. As the leader of this mission, Hebi indeed knew the identity of every member, including the traitor within their ranks.
However, what surprised Seimei was that the traitor wasn't a member cultivated by the Root Organization but someone coerced into obeying Danzo's orders because of compromising leverage.

A Root ninja was sprinting desperately to escape.
Suddenly, a few shuriken came shooting toward him at high speed.
The ninja's ears twitched slightly, and with a swift lateral dodge, he avoided the attack.
Without pausing, he attempted to continue his escape.
But in the next moment, a figure descended from above, blocking his path.
Instantly, the Root ninja came to a halt.
"Uchiha Seimei?"
Seeing the figure ...

Watching Kimimaro and his group leave, Kakashi chose not to pursue them. Instead, he lowered his headband, covering his left eye.
Having refrained from using his Mangekyō Sharingan, he hadn't expended too much chakra this time.

Though Kakuzu wasn't as terrifying as Kimimaro, he was still no easy opponent.

In Seimei's perception, the transparent chains connecting him to the four Root ninjas resembled scales of balance. On one side stood himself, and on the other, the four Root ninjas.
What measured their respective "weights" was their physical and spiritual strength.
Clearly, even with the combined "weight" of their bodies and spirits, the four Root ninjas together could not compare to Seimei.
This was why shock and disbelief appeared on their faces.

Time ticked by, second by second.
In just five or six minutes, the tension reached its peak.
Seeing that Seimei still hadn't shown any flaws, the Root ninja exchanged glances. Without a word, they all understood—they couldn’t wait any longer!
At the moment, they were merely pretending to struggle against him, but if they allowed Seimei to continue his relentless bombardment, their act would soon turn into reality—they’d be outmatched.
Thus, they h...
Sasuke withdrew his focus from Rock Lee, his interest waning. Even with two gates open, Lee still had the stamina to keep going for a while longer. This battle was far from over.
First things first—stabilize the situation.
Sasuke added 1 system point to his *Stamina* attribute, raising it to 169.
*Hum!*
A familiar warmth spread through his body, seeping into every cell and erasing all traces of exhaustion. Sasuke basked in the sensation.

Sasuke’s push-up pace accelerated, becoming smoother and more efficient. With his stamina continually refreshed by the system points, he reveled in a smug satisfaction unique to him.
This was a joy no one else could experience!
Training was supposed to be grueling—Rock Lee’s achievements were forged through relentless effort and unwavering willpower, honed over countless days of sweat and toil.
The path to mastery was never easy.
