Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

It turned out that trying to break through the fifth stage in one night was obviously an impossible task. However, Sasuke felt that breaking through the fifth stage didn't seem too difficult.

With just one more night of effort, he should be able to make it.

By the end of the three days of training, he would likely break through the fifth stage with ease.

By then, his eye power and the power of his ocular techniques would increase once again, further enhancing Sasuke's combat abilities.

And now!

After consuming two military ration pills, Sasuke looked at the rising sun atop the mountain.

Today, Sasuke needed to train in ninjutsu.

If he continued focusing on training his Sharingan, achieving a jonin-level evaluation might take an unpredictable amount of time.

Ninjutsu training could no longer be delayed.

Fortunately, Sasuke hadn't chosen to learn Earth Release ninjutsu. Otherwise, it would have taken even more time.

In hindsight, it was a relief that Sasuke hadn't decided to learn highly challenging forbidden techniques like the Flying Thunder God or the Eight Gates Formation.

Otherwise, reaching a jonin evaluation now would have been even more difficult.

At present, his Fire Release had already reached its peak level. For ninjutsu at this level, its strength didn't depend on the technique itself but on how much chakra the user intended to pour into it.

It could be said that the more chakra used, the stronger the power—even for a simple, low-level technique.

As long as the chakra was abundant enough, it could instantly unleash earth-shattering power.

Similarly, his Lightning Release techniques all met the required standard, with even the weakest being at a moderate level.

The only thing left was Water Release ninjutsu!

Of course, apart from Lightning, Water, and Fire Release, there were also basic techniques like the Clone Technique and Body Flicker Technique that needed upgrading. However, upgrading those was relatively easy and could be accomplished during spare time.

Sasuke opened his panel to check the Water Release techniques that needed upgrading.

[Water Release: Water Formation Wall (Proficient), Water Dragon Bullet (Proficient), Water Colliding Wave (Proficient), Water Severing Wave (Proficient), Heavenly Weep (Proficient), Great Waterfall Technique (Proficient), Hard Whirlpool Water Blade (Beginner), Riding Wave Strike (Beginner)]

Alright!

All his Water Release techniques needed to be upgraded.

"Looks like today's going to be busy…"

Sasuke smiled wryly. But given his current chakra reserves, upgrading all eight Water Release techniques to a moderate level in one day shouldn't be too big of a challenge.

The only slightly challenging ones would be the Great Waterfall Technique and the Hard Whirlpool Water Blade, two Water Release techniques with overwhelming power.

Boom!!!

The training began.

Powerful streams of water erupted continuously, and a nearby small creek turned into a rushing river in an instant.

The turbulent water caused a downstream dam to collapse.

But Sasuke was clearly unaware of all this.

Though Water Release training was harder than expected, given Sasuke's chakra reserves and recovery speed, the consumption was minimal.

[Congratulations to the host, Water Release ~ Water Formation Wall leveled up.]

[Water Release ~ Water Formation Wall (Moderate)]

…

[Congratulations to the host, Water Release ~ Water Dragon Bullet leveled up.]

[Water Release ~ Water Dragon Bullet (Moderate)]

…

[Congratulations to the host, Water Release ~ Water Colliding Wave leveled up.]

[Water Release ~ Water Colliding Wave (Moderate)]

Upgrading three Water Release techniques took three hours.

At this pace, finishing the Water Release upgrades today was entirely feasible.

However, Sasuke suspected that the last two techniques—the Great Waterfall Technique and the Hard Whirlpool Water Blade—wouldn't be as easy.

As it turned out, Sasuke's suspicions were correct.

[Water Release ~ Water Severing Wave (Moderate)]

…

[Water Release ~ Heavenly Weep (Moderate)]

…

[Water Release ~ Riding Wave Strike (Moderate)]

After successfully upgrading these Water Release techniques to a moderate level, Sasuke's understanding of Water Release grew even deeper.

It even seemed to slightly enhance his Wood Release as well. Specifically, the changes were evident in how his Wood Release became more flexible.

Additionally, the speed at which he refined Wood Release chakra also increased significantly.

The fact that Water Release improvements would strengthen Wood Release was unexpected for Sasuke.

But upon further thought, it made sense. After all, Wood Release was a fusion of Water and Earth Release, forming a kekkei genkai.

However, now wasn't the time to dwell on this.

While the other Water Release techniques progressed smoothly, the two more advanced techniques proved to be a true test of the differences in chakra consumption for various levels of ninjutsu.

To accelerate his Water Release upgrades, Sasuke had no choice but to activate Sage Mode.

By using the natural energy absorbed during Sage Mode to refine senjutsu chakra, he could ensure the uninterrupted release of these two techniques.

Upgrading other techniques took only about an hour.

But these two techniques required Sasuke to spend a full five hours.

It wasn't until nightfall, around 7 or 8 PM, that Sasuke heard the final system notifications.

[Congratulations to the host, Water Release ~ Great Waterfall Technique leveled up.]

[Water Release ~ Great Waterfall Technique (Moderate)]

[Congratulations to the host, Water Release ~ Hard Whirlpool Water Blade leveled up.]

[Water Release ~ Hard Whirlpool Water Blade (Moderate)]

With these two Water Release techniques successfully upgraded, Sasuke's control over Water Release seemed to improve significantly.

The most direct manifestation of this was that Sasuke could condense water chakra into water streams with just chakra manipulation alone.

The water sphere floating in his palm mesmerized Sasuke for a moment.

In that instant, Sasuke seemed to understand why jonin-level ninjas had unique techniques.

So this was the reason.

When a ninja mastered a certain release to a certain degree, the release of ninjutsu was no longer bound by formality.

Many unique techniques used by jonin were essentially modified versions of existing ninjutsu, tailored to their unique needs through specific seals and alterations.

This was because jonin-level ninjas had achieved a completely different level of mastery over their favored releases.

No wonder the number of jonin in the ninja world wasn't particularly high. While some ninjas might achieve jonin-level combat power, only a rare few could attain jonin-level mastery over chakra nature transformation.

These were the true masters who could create entirely new techniques.

Sasuke waved his hand, dispersing the water sphere.

Looking at the time, it was already around 7 or 8 PM.

After a day of training, Sasuke felt tired.

It was time to return to training his Sharingan. If he worked hard tonight, perhaps by morning he could break through to the fifth stage of the Sharingan.
