Chapter 243 Sasuke, who doesn't show off and keeps a low profile, is finally successful?
Tetsuya led Zabuza and Haku into a side courtyard of the Daimyo's residence, which was the home of Uchiha Izuna.
However, he didn't come to see Izuna; he came to see Sasuke.
Although there is a Uchiha clan settlement to the east of the capital, Sasuke has been living in Izuna since he returned to the Land of Grass from Orochimaru.
"Izuna! Izuna, where are you? What are you doing?"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhe started shouting loudly.
"What are you yelling about? Can't you be quiet for a bit?"
Izuna poked his head out of the study window and grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Tetsuya went to the window and glanced at the situation inside the study.
All that could be seen on the table, the floor, the stools, and the bookshelves were various drafts with scribbles and corrections.
"Hey, what are you doing? Giving up being a ninja to become a calligrapher?"
"Get lost, get lost, what calligrapher? I'm researching the abilities of the Rinnegan."
"The Rinnegan's abilities? You still haven't figured out the abilities of your Rinnegan? Didn't you say before that you had almost figured it out?"
Upon hearing this, Izuna looked at Tetsuya with a somewhat resentful expression.
"This is all your fault."
"Blame me?"
"That's right. After you took Sasuke out for a while, he came back and told me how the copy of me used the power of the Rinnegan to eliminate enemies using space."
Then I tried it out and found that I didn't possess any of the abilities he mentioned.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Why does the cloned Izuna have skills that the original Izuna doesn't have?
The reason is simple: the cloned Izuna is ultimately a creation of Tetsuya's abilities, and he is controlled by Tetsuya's mind.
At the time, Tetsuya's idea was to make Sasuke look cool and stylish.
"Haha, maybe you actually knew those things, you just didn't realize it."
What do you mean, "I know it, but I didn't notice it?"
"It means exactly what it says. Anyway, let's not talk about that. I didn't come here to see you. Where's Sasuke? Kami told me that he hasn't left your yard since he came back."
"Sasuke, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be sweeping the floor in the back right now."
"Sweeping? No, he really went to sweep the floor."
It's clear that Sasuke genuinely wants to become stronger.
"Then I'll go check on him first, you can take your time to study it."
Tetsuya waved and led Zabuza and Haku to the back.
In the backyard of the Izuna Villa, Uchiha Sasuke, dressed in plain clothes, was sweeping fallen leaves from the pebble path with a broom in his hand.
After he swept from one side to the other, many more leaves fell onto the path he had previously swept.
However, Sasuke didn't react much and instead swept back along the pebble path.
"My God, is this really the Sasuke I know? Shouldn't he be throwing down his broom and furiously unleashing a Fireball at the trees where chairs have fallen?"
"My lord, what brings you here?"
Sasuke noticed the newcomers and stopped what he was doing to look at Tetsuya and the others.
Zabuza looked at Sasuke and sighed.
"Tsk, his sharpness is concealed, his gaze is reserved, he keeps his weapons hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike. I can't believe that this kid is the same person as that arrogant kid from the Land of Waves."
"Hmm, not bad. It seems that the super performance has given you a lot of inspiration."
Bai asked with some curiosity.
What kind of performance?
Zabuza replied for Tetsuya.
"It's probably a murder performance."
Bai's pupils twitched instantly.
"A murder performance?"
Sasuke nodded and said.
"My lord showed me what true power is."
Have you ever seen a living person suddenly disappear right in front of you?
Have you ever seen a living person being crushed piece by piece from bottom to top, screaming in agony until their head is crushed?
Have you ever seen a person be crushed and the blood evaporate before it even spills out...?
Sasuke took a deep breath and calmed himself down before speaking.
"That experience made me realize just how big the gap is between myself and a true strong person."
"So, from then on, you started to avoid arrogance and impatience?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Yes, Lord Daimyo, I have truly realized the insignificance of my own power. I want to become stronger, so I plan to cleanse my heart as you taught me."
Tsk tsk tsk, Tetsuya really can't believe that the low-profile Sasuke has actually appeared.
However, he still praised him.
“Very good, Sasuke. I’m very pleased that you have this understanding. It shows that my efforts have not been wasted.”
Cultivating oneself begins with cultivating one's mind. When your state of mind is elevated, your strength will naturally increase.
However, simply sweeping the floor isn't enough. You need to experience, learn, and witness the various aspects of the world, and still maintain a pure heart. Only then can your spiritual practice be considered to have reached a certain level.
"I see. I've learned something new."
"So, I have a task for you. Would you like to go back to Konoha and take a look? Go back as a ninja from the Land of Grass."
"Back to Konoha!"
Upon hearing the news of returning to Konoha, Sasuke was instantly filled with nameless rage. To Sasuke, Konoha was the biggest culprit who had killed his clansmen.
In an instant, Sasuke's murderous aura surged.
"Sasuke."
Tetsuya called out Sasuke's name.
Sasuke then regained some of his senses.
"I apologize, Lord, it seems I still haven't mastered my cultivation."
"It's okay. The more something makes you angry, the more you should try to overcome it."
"I understand. I accept the mission from Lord Daimyo."
"Very good, let me briefly explain the purpose of this mission to you."
Tetsuya briefly explained the joint exam to Sasuke.
"The Chunin Exams? Don't worry, Daimyo, I will defeat all the Konoha ninjas in the Chunin Exams."
Upon hearing that he could fight against people from Konoha during the exam, Sasuke immediately became eager to try his luck.
"Hey, don't get too excited. Just have some fun. After all, we're mainly going there to watch the show; we're not the real stars."
Tetsuya revealed a mocking smile.
Zabuza keenly noticed the other meaning hidden in Tetsuya's words.
Someone is planning to cause trouble during this joint Chunin Exams, and Chiba Tetsuya definitely knows this person.
It seems this joint exam isn't as easy as he imagined.
"Alright, now come with us. I'll take you to find your last teammate."
As for this third teammate, he had already decided on the candidate, which was naturally Uzumaki Karin.
He plans to assemble a pure-blooded, limited-limit team for fun: Sasuke's Sharingan, Haku's Ice Release, and Karin's Kagura Mind's Eye.
These are all considered to be among the finest bloodstains in the ninja world.
