Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Strength?

Sasuke frowned and glanced at the others.

Except for Kisame, no one else showed any change in expression.

This indicated that these people seemed to doubt his strength.

It appeared that, for ordinary people, his reputation was enough to instill fear.

But for the members of the Akatsuki, they seemed a bit unconvinced.

"I heard you developed some useless Lightning Style jutsu, and it's supposed to be really fast, right?"

Kakuzu took two steps toward Sasuke, hands on his hips, looking extremely arrogant.

"Perfect! My Lightning Style isn't particularly strong, but it's not bad either!"

"Kid... let me see just how fast this so-called Lightning Style of yours is!"

Hearing this, Sasuke shook his head helplessly.

As expected in the ninja world, no matter where you go, earning respect and fear from others starts with demonstrating your strength.

"Hmph!"

Sasuke let out a disdainful snort.

He looked at Kakuzu. This guy was considered one of the weakest in the Akatsuki. How could he be so arrogant?

"You want to see my self-created Lightning Style? You're not strong enough for that!"

Kakuzu, who had been in a relatively good mood, now had a dark expression.

Leaf Village brats were they all this arrogant?

Not worthy?

Well, he'd show him what "worthy" meant!

Kakuzu's gaze flickered with intense killing intent.

In the next second, the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees.

Meanwhile, the other Akatsuki members wore expressions as if they were watching a good show.

Sasori: "The Uchiha from the Leaf Village... if I remember correctly, this kid should be Itachi's younger brother!"

Deidara: "Yeah, Itachi's younger brother. What's stranger today is that Itachi isn't here."

"Perhaps there's some special situation," Sasori glanced at Pain. Since even the leader hadn't said anything, there must be a specific reason for this.

"Kid..."

Suddenly, Kakuzu let out an angry roar. His fury was boiling over, as if he wanted to devour Sasuke alive.

"Your heart would make a nice trophy!"

"Leader, if this new member is too weak and I kill him, there won't be any issues, right?"

Pain nodded indifferently. "If someone gets killed, it just means their strength wasn't enough. There won't be any punishment."

"You heard that, kid? If you don't want to die, do as I say and show us this so-called Lightning Style of yours!"

"Otherwise..."

Whoosh!!

A shuriken suddenly flew past Kakuzu's face.

Bang!!!

With a loud crash, the shuriken embedded itself into the wall like a cannonball.

The wall caved in significantly.

This sudden development caused the Akatsuki members' expressions to change abruptly.

An ordinary shuriken... with such power?

Was this a shuriken? It might as well be a cannonball!

And the way this kid threw the shuriken it was so fast they almost couldn't see it clearly.

"If killing a member doesn't result in punishment, then I assume it's the same if I kill you?"

Hearing Sasuke's question, Nagato, controlling Yahiko, seemed intrigued by Sasuke.

He replied, "Yes, it's the same. Killing him won't result in punishment!"

This was essentially telling the two of them to begin.

Kakuzu frowned. He couldn't believe that such a young brat could possess such terrifying power.

Throwing a shuriken like that... it was almost unimaginable.

How much strength would one need to achieve such a feat?

It seemed this Uchiha kid excelled in Taijutsu. He absolutely couldn't let him get close.

Otherwise, even the slightest touch from that terrifying strength would be unbearable.

"Hmph!"

"Not bad, but a ninja's combat skills aren't just about brute force, kid... I've faced opponents far more numerous than the days you've been alive!"

"I even fought against Hashirama Senju!"

Fought?

Sasuke was speechless. Was that really a fight?

Hashirama didn't even acknowledge you!

Ridiculous. Why did Kakuzu always like to brag about Hashirama?

"To have lived this long, your luck must be pretty good. I'll let you, old man, make the first move!"

One sentence left Kakuzu stunned.

This brat, completely unaware of his place, dared to call him an "old man"?

"Little brat... you're courting death!"

"Since you claim to have some self-created Lightning Style, I'll educate you with mine today!"

Crackle!!

Kakuzu, raising his hands to form seals, unleashed a surge of chakra.

It had to be said that with five hearts, Kakuzu's chakra reserves were indeed unmatched by most ordinary ninjas.

"Lightning Style: False Darkness!"

Crackling sounds of lightning echoed instantly.

A terrifying bolt of lightning erupted from Kakuzu's mouth, illuminating the entire underground space.

However, faced with such an attack, Sasuke lazily raised a hand.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall..."

A small clump of mud emerged, forming a sturdy earthen wall almost instantly.

Bang!!

At the sound of the explosion, Deidara and the others froze.

'Single-handed seals?'

'This kid... can also use Earth Style!'

Watching Sasuke casually perform the technique with ease and expertise was stunning.

Even most Jonin couldn't perform jutsu with such composure.

Lightning Style was known for its speed, yet Sasuke managed to counter it with Earth Style effortlessly.

Unbelievable...

"How is this possible..."

Even Kakuzu hesitated for a moment. Sasuke's jutsu execution was so fast, and it was single-handed...

Damn it!

This brat was certainly capable.

But Kakuzu wasn't finished.

"Fire Style: Searing Migraine!"

Flames erupted, sweeping toward Sasuke like a raging ocean wave.

As Sasuke's earthen wall crumbled, he faced the oncoming heat wave.

Still standing in place, Sasuke lazily formed a single-handed seal.

"Water Style: Water Shockwave..."

Boom!!

A massive wave of water surged forth, instantly rivaling Kakuzu's fire attack.

The collision between Water and Fire Styles produced a deafening roar.

The other Akatsuki members had to defend themselves against the impact.

Deidara, now unable to remain calm, exclaimed, "Kakuzu is one thing he's an old monster but what's up with this kid? He's casually throwing around high-level Water Style like it's nothing. A little monster, huh?"

Boom, boom, boom... Silence.
