Kapitel 173: Chapter 173: A Joke—Indra’s Reincarnation Thinks He Lacks Talent

After delivering the crucial warning, Itachi Uchiha didn't linger in Konoha any longer.

After all, staying even a minute longer in the village increased the risk of exposure. And if anyone caught him sitting and chatting with Akira Uchiha, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, after passing on the message that Akatsuki was planning an attack, Itachi swiftly left. He didn't even take a moment to see Sasuke.

"Akatsuki is sending nearly half of its top members?" Akira mused. "And that old fox, the Third Tsuchikage, is using this opportunity to stir up trouble?"

"Well then," Akira thought to himself, "if that's how they want to play it, I won't hold back."

Watching Itachi's retreating figure disappear into the night, Akira's mind raced with thoughts.

This Jonin Exam that Konoha had invited the other ninja villages to join—Akira knew why they had all agreed so readily. They wanted to get a clear sense of Konoha's current strength.

But it seemed only Onoki, the Tsuchikage, was intent on causing trouble.

The old man was still hell-bent on eliminating Akira.

Moreover, because of the situation with Orochimaru, the Akatsuki had somehow come to believe that Akira had used Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru!

In one sense, that was good news—Kakuzu, who had actually been subjected to the powerful genjutsu, wouldn't be as easily exposed. But on the downside, Akatsuki had once been very wary of Akira's ability with Kotoamatsukami.

Now that they thought he had already used it, they likely wouldn't be as cautious around him anymore.

That might explain why half of Akatsuki's core members were daring enough to come after him.

After thinking it through and gaining a clearer picture of the situation, Akira made his way back to the Uchiha compound.

Instead of going home, though, he headed straight for the Hokage's residence.

It was already late, well past eight o'clock, so Fugaku should be finishing up for the day, right?

"Akira, you're here to see Fugaku?" Uchiha Mikoto greeted him warmly as she opened the door. "He should be home in about half an hour."

"Does he always stay this late at work these days?" Akira asked, glancing at the time.

"Yes, he usually doesn't get home until around nine," Mikoto replied, inviting Akira inside and pouring him a cup of tea.

"Being Hokage is really a tough job, huh?" Akira thought to himself, taking a sip. His respect for the position grew slightly, but so did his desire to stay as far from it as possible.

"I'm home," a familiar voice called out a few minutes later.

The door opened to reveal Sasuke, looking exhausted as he stepped inside.

"Akira?" Sasuke blinked in surprise at seeing him. "What brings you here?"

"I'm here to see the Hokage. You look tired—have you been training for the Jonin Exam?" Akira asked.

"Yeah, the exam's coming up soon. As the Hokage's son, it would be disgraceful for me to lose," Sasuke sighed. "I need to make sure I'm ready. As they say, a clumsy bird must start flying early. If you lack talent, hard work is your only option."

He spoke with a bit of self-deprecation.

But hearing this, Akira's expression grew... strange.

Was this a joke? Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra, claiming he lacked talent and had to rely on sheer effort?

No Indra reincarnation in history had ever needed to work that hard.

However, considering Sasuke's situation...

His older brother, Itachi Uchiha, had been one of Konoha's brightest prodigies and had already unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan at Sasuke's age.

Meanwhile, Akira, who was the same age as Sasuke, was already a famous figure across the ninja world.

And then there was Naruto Uzumaki—once considered the worst student in their class. After a brief trip with Akira to the border, he had trained with Jiraiya and could now summon the Nine-Tails' chakra, manifesting four tails. He was already a powerhouse on the level of a Kage.

In Sasuke's eyes, surrounded by such incredible individuals, it probably made sense that he felt inadequate.

"By the way, Sasuke," Akira said after a brief pause, "your sensei is Kakashi, right? You've learned Chidori, haven't you?"

"Yeah, I've mastered it," Sasuke nodded.

"Have you ever thought about further developing Chidori?" Akira asked.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked curiously, sensing that Akira was about to share some valuable insight.

"Well, for example, what if you incorporated shape transformation into Chidori? You could extend the range of the Lightning Release, creating something like Chidori Sharp Spear. Chidori is known for its piercing power, after all."

"Or, if you release Chidori from your entire body, it becomes an all-encompassing offense and defense technique. You could call that Chidori Current."

"And there's even Chidori Senbon—scattering the technique into countless projectiles."

"And don't forget, nature's own lightning is incredibly powerful. I have a concept for a jutsu called Lightning Release: Kirin. Let me explain it to you."

While it seemed like Akira was teaching Sasuke something new, in reality, these were techniques that Sasuke himself would eventually develop in the original timeline.

Since Sasuke would naturally be inclined to create these jutsu, they were perfect for him to focus on now.

Chidori Sharp Spear, Chidori Current, Chidori Senbon, and Lightning Release: Kirin—Akira went on to describe each of these techniques in detail.

As Sasuke listened, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

These advanced applications of Chidori were incredibly practical.

And more importantly, they seemed perfectly suited to his abilities.

By the time Akira had finished explaining his ideas, Sasuke was looking at him with newfound admiration.

"Akira, you really are a genius. Just a few pointers from you, and I've already learned so much!" Sasuke said, full of respect.

"It's nothing, just some basic ideas," Akira replied with a casual wave, smiling at Sasuke's awestruck expression.

In truth, Akira thought these developments for Chidori were incredibly useful.

But he knew his own talent wasn't enough to come up with techniques like Chidori Sharp Spear or Lightning Release: Kirin on his own. He couldn't even begin to imagine how long it would take him to figure them out.

So why not let Sasuke handle the research?

Once Sasuke perfected the techniques, Akira could simply copy them using his Sharingan. Wasn't that the smart play?

With the Sharingan's ability to copy jutsu, Akira figured it was always good to have more techniques in his arsenal.

Kakashi was known for having copied over a thousand jutsu—now that was someone who truly made the most of the Sharingan's potential.

"Akira, you're here? Is there something you wanted to discuss?" Fugaku Uchiha finally arrived, noticing Akira with mild surprise.

Akira was known for being laid-back and avoiding work when he could, so it was rare for him to show up like this.

It must have been something important for Akira to break his usual pattern and come over.

"I have some information I wanted to discuss with you," Akira said, getting straight to the point.

"What's the news?" Fugaku asked, instantly serious. He knew Akira wouldn't be here unless it was urgent.

"It's about Akatsuki. Pain is planning to lead a group of their core members to attack during the Jonin Exam," Akira said, relaying the information Itachi had shared.

"This information came from Itachi, didn't it?" Fugaku asked after a moment, his expression growing more grave.

"Itachi?" Sasuke, who had been deep in thought about refining his Chidori, suddenly snapped to attention. He stared intently at Akira.

"Yes," Akira confirmed with a nod.

"Itachi? You saw him? He came back to Konoha?" Sasuke asked urgently.

"He did, briefly, to warn me. But I'm sure he's already left," Akira said.

But Sasuke wasn't about to sit still.

Ever since Itachi had been forced to leave the village after the Uchiha Massacre, Sasuke hadn't seen his brother.

Now that Itachi had returned, Sasuke wasn't going to miss the chance to find him. He turned and ran out of the house.

Mikoto opened her mouth, as if to call Sasuke back, but a glance from her husband made her stop. She sighed softly and let it go.

She knew that if Sasuke wasn't allowed to go out and search, he wouldn't rest until he had.

"Akira, what do you think? How should we handle this situation?" Fugaku asked, turning his attention back to Akira.

Sasuke's departure was a minor concern for the moment. The real issue was how to deal with Akatsuki's impending attack.

"Simple," Akira replied with a confident smile. "High risk means high reward. This may be a dangerous situation, but if we play it right, the rewards could be even greater."

Kapitel 174: Chapter 174: Akira Uchiha Finally Pilots His Gundam

Indeed, Nagato, under the guise of Pain, was personally leading the attack, and he wasn't alone. Several of Akatsuki's elite members were joining the assault, and now even the Land of Earth was preparing to make its move.

The upcoming Jonin Exam was going to demand a lot of Konoha's attention. If these forces truly intended to cause chaos, it could be a significant threat.

But as the saying goes, with high risk comes high reward.

Previously, when they invited the other Kage to a summit, each one refused. No matter the excuses they gave, it all boiled down to one thing—they didn't think Konoha was strong enough.

It's just like when you chase after a girl. No matter what reasons she gives to reject you, the real reason is always the same: she thinks you're not good enough for her. The same logic applies here.

But now, knowing in advance that they were planning an attack, Akira believed that with proper preparation, they could not only defeat their enemies but also take advantage of the situation.

This was a perfect opportunity for Konoha to showcase its strength to the ninja world. And even better, if they could demonstrate the true terror of Akatsuki, it would rally the rest of the ninja world to unite against them in the future.

This was Akira's plan.

After explaining his strategy to Fugaku, the Uchiha patriarch agreed, nodding in approval. Akira's idea made sense.

The original purpose of holding the Jonin Exam was to showcase Konoha's strength, after all. And what better way to demonstrate their power than to fend off an attack during the exam?

In the past, when the Uchiha had just taken power, they had to constantly fend off threats from other villages, often neutralizing dangers before they even arose. But that was when Konoha was at its weakest, with only Fugaku and Akira as its sole Kage-level fighters.

Now, seven years later, Konoha was far from the vulnerable village it once was.

In addition to Fugaku and Akira, they now had Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and even Kakashi Hatake, who had unlocked his Mangekyo Sharingan. Konoha had gained five more Kage-level warriors.

With such an increase in strength, Akira and Fugaku weren't merely focused on surviving the crisis—they were looking to turn the tables and use the crisis to their advantage.

After discussing the finer details of their plan to counter Akatsuki and the Land of Earth's possible attack, the preparations were set in motion. As more and more ninja from various villages arrived in Konoha, the village grew busier. It wasn't uncommon to see ninja wearing different village forehead protectors wandering the streets. The Jonin Exam was fast approaching.

Unlike the Chunin Exams, the Jonin Exam was for much stronger fighters.

Aside from planning strategies, Akira also devoted some of his time to his own strength.

For most people, increasing their power in such a short time would be impossible. But for Akira, with his stash of money and his ability to run life simulations, he could accelerate his growth rapidly.

For example, this time, he used the 10 million ryo Kakuzu had brought him for a final simulation, focusing on his training in ninjutsu.

[Three days later, the Jonin Exam begins!]

[Ten days later, at the most crucial moment of the exam, Konoha is attacked!]

[Six months later, several Tailed Beasts have fallen into Akatsuki's hands, and the entire ninja world is in a state of panic, especially the villages still in possession of their Tailed Beasts.]

[One year later, the Four Kage reach out to Konoha, requesting a Five Kage Summit to discuss how to handle Akatsuki!]

[Chidori Sharp Spear, Chidori Current, and Lightning Release: Kirin are all developed by Sasuke Uchiha. You've used your Sharingan to observe them thoroughly and successfully copied them!]

[The Fourth Great Ninja War begins. You engage Uchiha Madara in Sage Mode, using the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique. This piques Madara's interest!]

[Despite possessing a pair of Rinnegan, your Three Tomoe Sharingan cannot see through Limbo: Border Jail. You are killed!]

In this simulation, Akira was killed by Uchiha Madara, who wielded a pair of Rinnegan. The result made Akira frown.

Limbo: Border Jail was a truly troublesome technique, allowing Madara to create four invisible entities, similar to clones. In the original story, only Sasuke with his overpowered abilities and Naruto in his Six Paths Mode could perceive them.

With just his Three Tomoe Sharingan, Akira couldn't see the Limbo clones, leaving him at a severe disadvantage in a fight against Madara.

Of course, as grim as the outcome was, death was always the result in these life simulations, so it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Instead of dwelling on his fate, Akira focused on the rewards from this run.

And there were plenty.

He had successfully copied techniques like Chidori Sharp Spear and other abilities from Sasuke, and even more exciting, he had now mastered the Wood Human Technique.

When given the option of what to take from the simulation, Akira naturally chose to acquire new ninjutsu.

A deep sense of understanding flooded Akira's mind. Though Chidori was technically a weaker version of Raikiri, the two techniques were fundamentally the same, much like the difference between a basic Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

With his newly gained knowledge of Chidori Sharp Spear, Akira found it easy to apply the same principles to his own Raikiri technique.

After testing out the techniques briefly, Akira was more than satisfied with the results.

However, his greatest gain wasn't from Chidori—it was the Wood Human Technique.

Unfortunately, that particular jutsu created a massive spectacle, making it inappropriate for him to try out here and now.

Still, knowing he had finally learned the technique filled Akira with joy. After all, he had been looking forward to piloting his own "Gundam" for a while now.

And what man doesn't dream of piloting a giant mech? It's the pinnacle of manly dreams!

Yes, this round had yielded substantial rewards, and Akira couldn't help but smile. And to think, these Lightning Release techniques came from milking Sasuke for ideas!

While Sasuke was off working hard, Akira had reaped the benefits.

Perhaps it was time to pay Sasuke a visit and share some of these abilities with him, just so the younger Uchiha didn't feel neglected.

After all, Akira had helped Naruto out a lot in the past. It was only fair to give Sasuke some attention, too.

Though, thinking about it... Akira had essentially copied the techniques Sasuke developed in the future, only to turn around and teach them back to him now.

Was he creating a strange feedback loop? It was almost like one of those martial arts movies where you end up chasing your own shadow, spiraling endlessly upward.

Akira shook his head, pushing away the absurd thought. Then, he made his way toward Sasuke's training ground.

Upon arriving at the training field, he saw several people hard at work. Sasuke was there, of course, but so were Hinata and Rock Lee.

It seemed they weren't just training individually but practicing as a team. With the Jonin Exam requiring three-man squads, they were likely working on coordination, pushing each other to improve while also strengthening their bond.

Sasuke's Taijutsu was solid, though his true strength lay in his mastery of Fire and Lightning Release. His skills were sharp, and his Three Tomoe Sharingan gave him exceptional reflexes and dynamic vision.

Hinata, on the other hand, fought with her family's signature Gentle Fist, moving with such grace that it looked almost like a dance. Her strikes appeared slow, yet they held an overwhelming precision, exploiting every possible opening.

Akira knew well how devastating the Gentle Fist could be—it was a powerful technique, especially with its ability to target chakra points.

And then there was Rock Lee, practicing his Strong Fist Taijutsu. In many ways, his role complemented the others. As a physical powerhouse, Lee could serve as the tank of their group, absorbing damage and keeping the enemy at bay.

Hinata, with her pinpoint accuracy, would act as crowd control, while Sasuke delivered devastating ninjutsu strikes as their DPS (damage per second). The team's balance and synergy were impressive.

Akira watched them silently from the sidelines, observing their teamwork until they finished a round of training. Only then did he step forward.

"Akira!" Hinata greeted him with a bright smile, her face flushed with exertion.

"Here, drink some water," Akira said with a smile, brushing aside her damp bangs and handing her a bottle of water he had prepared.

"Thank you," Hinata replied, taking a sip. It was just regular water, but somehow, it tasted especially sweet to her.

"You're Akira Uchiha, right? I've heard a lot about you. It's an honor to finally meet you," Rock Lee said, walking over to thank Akira.

"Thank me? What for?" Akira asked, a bit puzzled.

"Guy-sensei told me it was you who suggested he go to the ninja academy and find me. Thanks to that, I got to be his disciple."

Akira blinked. For him, that had just been a casual suggestion. But for Lee, it had changed the course of his entire life. No wonder the young ninja was so grateful.

"Ah, I see. Well, in that case, I'll humbly accept your thanks," Akira said with a grin.

Finally, he turned his attention to Sasuke.

"Sasuke, got some time? The exam's only two days away. How about I give you a few pointers?" Akira said, smiling at the younger Uchiha.
