Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Sasuke wanted to know Itachi's reaction.

However, Itachi's reaction might have been even more intense than Sasuke had imagined.

"I have already invited your brother, Sasuke Uchiha, to join the Akatsuki organization, and he agreed. Itachi, it won't be long before you can meet him again!"

Tobi said to Itachi.

At this moment, in a cold and damp cave,

Itachi, sitting on a stone chair, reading a book while eating, suddenly paused his actions.

He slowly put down the book in his hand,

turned his head to look in Tobi's direction.

"You... said... what...?"

Speaking word by word, Itachi's tone sounded ominous.

But Tobi didn't care much and simply repeated it lightly.

"I invited Sasuke to join the Akatsuki, and he agreed."

The cave suddenly became unusually quiet.

Kisame, who was sitting nearby fiddling with his Samehada, suddenly felt that something was off.

A surge of killing intent~ erupted instantly!

Boom!

The temperature in the entire cave seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Kisame sharply turned his gaze toward Itachi, and what appeared before him were a pair of blood-red eyes.

At the same time, a windmill-like pattern, resembling a Fūma Shuriken, had already appeared in Itachi's eyes the Mangekyou Sharingan was activated!

Kisame silently tightened his grip on his Samehada. "Itachi... what are you doing?"

However, Itachi said nothing, slowly standing up.

"Don't you dare... lay a hand... on my little brother!"

Killing intent radiated from Itachi's eyes. At this moment, his Mangekyou Sharingan exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

Even the burst of ocular power made Tobi feel the pressure.

'As expected of the genius Itachi. Even if his talent is far behind his brother's, this level of talent is already remarkable!'

Tobi exhaled lightly.

"Itachi, I won't do anything to Sasuke. I simply need him to join us. Besides, he's already a rogue ninja now. Wouldn't it be good for him to join the Akatsuki so you can meet him?"

"No!"

Itachi shook his head. "Meeting him doesn't matter. As long as he's alive and well, that's enough!"

At this point, Itachi seemed to realize that his emotions had become a bit out of control,

as if he had expressed feelings that should not have been revealed.

He quickly closed his eyes. "Anyway, I don't agree with him joining the Akatsuki!"

Tobi smiled slightly. "This isn't a matter of whether you agree or not..."

"If he joins the Akatsuki, I will leave!"

Kisame was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Why had Itachi suddenly said something like that?

Leave?

Daring to say such words could very well anger Tobi.

However, Tobi remained silent for a few seconds.

"I haven't officially brought him into the Akatsuki organization yet. Perhaps you two can talk it out yourselves. If you can convince him not to join the Akatsuki, I won't stop it. But if he wants to join, you can't stop him either!"

This solution seemed reasonable.

For now, Itachi didn't want to leave just like that, as his mission was... to infiltrate.

"Fine!"

"When will I get to meet him?"

Tobi turned away. "You will be the one to bring him into the Akatsuki. He should have returned to one of Orochimaru's bases by now."

"The exact location is unclear for now. It seems he's currently with Konoha's Hokage, Tsunade. My analysis is that he made some kind of deal with her, requesting her help to heal someone."

"So... we'll need to wait a little while. Once I locate him, I'll let you know!"

Itachi: "Alright!"

Healing someone?

Who could be so important to Sasuke that he would take the risk of making a deal with Tsunade to save them?

Who could it be?

Oto Village.

Sasuke stared at the wall, lost in thought for a long time. He was pondering how to face Itachi when the time came.

He was no longer the Sasuke he once was.

But Itachi still believed him to be the little brother he loved.

This left Sasuke with quite a headache. If it were a stranger, someone annoying and in the way,

he could just get rid of them. But in this case, that wasn't an option!

Forget it, no point thinking about it.

He'd deal with it when the time came. For now, Sasuke's most pressing issue was to quickly improve his ranking to Jōnin.

Time to continue training his Wood Release!

There was no news yet from Tsunade's side, which was already good news.

It meant Tsunade had started the treatment.

If there was no hope, Tsunade would have already come back to tell him that Kimimaro couldn't be saved.

No news was the best news.

Sasuke let out a light sigh, clapped his hands, and resumed training his Wood Release.

Orochimaru had probably noticed that Sasuke was pondering how to meet Itachi,

so he didn't press the matter any further.

He turned to leave but then paused, turning back. "Sasuke-kun, if you want to master a technique faster, I think combat might expedite the process!"

"If needed, you could have the Sound Four train with you. They may be trash compared to you,

but they're good enough for practice!"

Hearing this, Sasuke paused mid-action as he prepared to cast a jutsu.

What Orochimaru said seemed to make sense. He hadn't tried using real combat to upgrade his jutsu yet!

Thinking carefully, there had indeed been times when his jutsu improved directly after combat.

Fighting really was the fastest way to improve.

However, the Sound Four were too weak. For him...

If he restrained his power and only used Wood Release to counter them, while refraining from activating Sage Mode, then they might still be useful for practice.

"Fine! I'll give it a try. Orochimaru-sama, please summon them for me! Also, bring Haku along!"

Speaking of Haku, before Sasuke left, Haku had been training diligently. He wondered how strong Haku had become now.

"Alright! I'll also send Guren to spar with you!"

"That woman seems to have lost her sense of purpose lately. Perhaps Sasuke-kun can help her find some meaning!"

With that, Orochimaru vanished.

Sasuke frowned. Guren?

Lost her sense of purpose?

It was probably because Orochimaru could no longer reincarnate, leaving Guren without a role to play.

Fine, six people. The more, the merrier. Let's see if this could speed up the upgrade of his Wood Release.

Fortunately, the Wood Release jutsu he had learned so far weren't too numerous.

Just three techniques: Wood Clone, Wood Dragon, and Wood Human. Only three Wood Release jutsu.

But! There was still a problem.

Without the assistance of the World Tree Descent, casting Wood Dragon and Wood Human in his normal state was very difficult for Sasuke!

Or perhaps another perspective could be considered: the World Tree Descent might be a prerequisite for these two jutsu. Alternatively, mastering the World Tree Descent might enhance these two techniques!

This was Sasuke's intuition.

However, learning another jutsu now would mean spending a lot more time... Sasuke wasn't sure if he should try it.
