Chapter 6 - Foundations of Power

Before going to bed, Sasuke had developed a habit.

He always checked his status.

Not for excitement.

But for understanding where he stood.

Sasuke studied the panel quietly.

Then he closed it.

He did not spend his EXP.

Not yet.

"This is still the early phase."

He thought calmly.

"The academy… basic techniques… chakra control…"

"None of this is beyond my current limits."

He made a decision.

EXP would not be used casually.

It would be reserved.

For when progress naturally stalled.

For when training alone was no longer enough.

"For breakthroughs only."

With that, he stopped thinking about it.

Training Mindset

Sasuke understood something important.

The system did not make him stronger.

It only recorded what he refined.

Strength still came from repetition.

From correction.

From time.

So he trained like before.

Without shortcuts.

Without dependence.

NEXT DAY

Morning arrived under thick gray clouds.

No sunlight broke through.

Only dull silence covered Konoha.

Sasuke moved through his routine.

Breakfast.

Academy.

Training.

Nothing changed on the surface.

But internally, things were stabilizing.

He was no longer reacting to the world.

He was observing it.

Naruto was loud as always.

Sakura and others responded normally.

Iruka taught with discipline.

Sasuke remained silent.

Watching.

Learning patterns.

Not engaging unnecessarily.

Progress Philosophy

Over time, Sasuke had realized:

Early growth does not require system intervention

Fundamentals build faster through repetition

EXP is a safety net, not a crutch

So he kept it untouched.

Evening Training

After academy hours, he trained alone.

Basic jutsu refinement.

Chakra control drills.

Physical conditioning.

Small improvements accumulated.

Not dramatic.

But consistent.

He corrected mistakes instead of forcing progress.

By night, he returned home.

Sat down.

Closed his eyes.

The system remained unchanged.

But his understanding of it deepened.

EXP was not power.

It was potential.

And potential was only valuable when everything else failed.

Sasuke leaned back slightly.

"…I'll grow on my own for now."

Today, he was going to upgrade his Sharingan and Genjutsu, he had already made a solid foundation in Genjutsu techniques in theory and that was the most important for upgrading. So, he will be able to use Genjutsu to learn some important Jutsus.

------------------------------ NEXT DAY -------------------------

I ate breakfast as some milk and eggs and sent my shadow clone to the ninja academy.

How did I learn Shadow Clone?

[Flashback]

After upgrading my attributes I went out through the window and sneaked out to find Iruka Sensei,

'This little shit tried to use me to get his petty revenge on Naruto, it's time for some payback first'

'The point is, I was being used! Damnit!'

Sasuke had known from his anime knowledge that Iruka also knew many sealing jutsu, so he was particularly interested in finding Iruka as seals will be able to reduce his consumption and might become the best method for him to go to different worlds or to seal the 10 tails. Knowledge of seals was very important for many things.

Sasuke soon reached the residence of Iruka and found him cooking dinner.

He knocked on the door while being transformed. As Iruka stopped cooking and came outside to open the door, Sasuke immediately used his Sharingan. Iruka and Sasuke went inside the house like normal and Iruka taught him all the Sealing Jutsu and Ninjutsu in his Arsenal.

Sasuke was able to learn a lot of techniques and atleast copy them with his Sharingan to bombard them with EXP.

After learning all the techniques, Sasuke removed Iruka's memories with him and replaced them with fake memory of eating dinner, removed his traces and went away. They had already eaten the food together as he didn't want to leave any loopholes.

After learning from Iruka, Sasuke went back and upgraded the Sealing Techniques.

[Sonar Jutsu Lvl1 -> Lvl 5]

[Barrier Jutsu Lvl1 -> Lvl5]

[Fire Dragon Jutsu Lvl1 -> Lvl5]

[Sealing Technique Lvl1 -> Lvl5]

After he had this, he spent his EXP on his attributes.

[Physical 9,999 -> 99,999]

[Spiritual 99,999 -> 99,999]

[Chakra Reserves 99,990-> 999,990]

[Chakra Control 50% -> 20%]

"I will have to retrain my chakra control again!Sigh!", Sasuke thought to himself.

-------------------------------- Next Day -----------------------------

Sasuke went to the Academy and came back in afternoon after academy was over and went to find his next target for either learning Shadow clone or Medical Ninjutsu.

He was able to find a medical-Nin and got knowledge of the basic medical Ninjutsu and also "borrowed" some medical books to learn some knowledge atleast to copy the relevant knowledge using his sharingan.

---------------------1 day before Academy Graduation ----------------

Sasuke was sitting on his bench closing his eyes and analysing the contents of medical books he had recently "borrowed". He had already copied all the books he could get using his Sharingan under different medical-nins to avoid any suspicion and learnt a lot about medical knowledge. He had become engrossed in medical knowledge in these 3 years as all the things to be crammed were copied using Sharingan and the most important results and analysis of human body were the things that he had to understand which gave him a lot of insights on medical Ninjutsu. He was able to learn medical Ninjutsu to a very high degree.

He had also learnt sealing techniques and ninjutsus from many chunins and low-level jonins and his knowledge had reached a very high level.

Other than forbidden Jutsus and a few Jutsu, he had already learnt most of the Jutsus.

Sasuke had also learnt Chakra Suppression seal and then he upgraded his physical and spiritual attributes freely without any worries.

(A/N-1 : Sasuke will pick up girls depending on how story progresses like : Sakura,Karin etc. He won't be the type to get attached but let's wait for that until he reaches atleast 25 years of age)

(A/N-2 : Even though everyone hates Sakura for being an idiot, loud mouth, etc she is just a girl of 10-12 years age currently(what do you expect from a 12 years old kid? To act like a ferocious ninja?) She has a crush on a cute boy who is also the topper. People do stupid shit in love, especially first love, so I don't hate her like the brainwashed dudes do. It's ok for memes but not for my story..... So Bitch out!)
