Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: First Meeting with the Sannin

After returning home, Isamu activated the system and looked at his 440,000 points, falling into deep thought.

"My current strength is more than enough for now, so there's no rush to obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. The only real issue right now is Chakra."

The Uchiha were born with relatively limited Chakra reserves. You rarely heard of an Uchiha with massive Chakra like the Senju. Instead, the Uchiha path focused on Chakra quality, squeezing every bit of power from their energy to maximize the strength of their ninjutsu.

But Isamu had no intention of following that path.

Rather than quality, he planned to rely on sheer quantity, overwhelming his enemies with an enormous Chakra reserve.

Naturally, his thoughts turned to the Tailed Beasts.

However, the Tailed Beasts within the Ninja World were off-limits. If someone dared to steal a Tailed Beast from a village, it would almost certainly start another war.

With that option eliminated, Isamu turned his attention to the System Mall.

One-Tail — Shukaku: 1,000 points

Two-Tails — Matatabi: 5,000 points

Three-Tails — Isobu: 10,000 points

Four-Tails — Son Goku: 20,000 points

Five-Tails — Kokuo: 50,000 points

Six-Tails — Saiken: 100,000 points

Seven-Tails — Chomei: 150,000 points

Eight-Tails — Gyuki: 200,000 points

Nine-Tails — Kurama: 300,000 points

Ten-Tails: 500,000 points

(Note: To exchange for the Ten-Tails, all nine Tailed Beasts must first be exchanged.)

[Tailed Beasts obtained through the system will permanently remain within the host and cannot be extracted. Furthermore, they will obey the host unconditionally. The host may freely use their power or summon them.]

"Tch… I thought I could just buy the Ten-Tails directly. What a disappointment."

Isamu chuckled when he saw the Ten-Tails only cost 500,000 points, but immediately lost interest after reading the note.

After thinking for a moment, he made his decision.

He exchanged for the Nine-Tails and the One through Five-Tails, obtaining a total of six Tailed Beasts.

The purchase cost 386,000 points, leaving him with 54,000 points.

As for why he didn't simply buy the Six-Tails for 100,000 points instead?

The answer was simple.

More tails didn't necessarily mean greater power—it meant more Chakra.

With the Nine-Tails already providing an enormous Chakra supply, Isamu felt that was enough. The other five Tailed Beasts were simply additional boosts to his power.

Once the exchange was complete, several beams of light representing the Tailed Beasts merged into Isamu's body.

"Hahaha! With these Chakra reservoirs inside me, I can walk the Ninja World without fear!"

Feeling the immense Chakra flowing within him, Isamu laughed loudly.

"Still… I'm missing a technique that can end a battle in a single strike."

He looked through the system again and stopped at two techniques.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken

Lightning Release: Kirin

Both were S-Rank ninjutsu, each costing 20,000 points.

Looking at his remaining 54,000 points, Isamu gritted his teeth and bought both techniques.

After all, he already knew Rasengan and Chidori. Without these upgraded versions, those techniques might never reach their full potential.

The next morning, Isamu headed out early and arrived at a clearing in the forest behind the mountain.

He hid in a tree and silently observed the three figures below until it was already past ten in the morning.

"Didn't the Old Man say a new captain would come today? Why isn't he here yet? Talk about unreliable," a white-haired boy complained while sitting on the ground.

"Alright, Jiraiya, stop complaining. Can't you be quiet like Orochimaru? The new captain will arrive sooner or later," a blonde girl said.

Although she said that, impatience was also visible on her face.

Meanwhile, the pale-skinned boy sat quietly on the ground, already beginning to refine his Chakra.

Seeing that the time was about right, Isamu jumped down from the tree and slowly walked toward them.

The trio quickly noticed his approach.

"Hey, big brother, are you here to train too?" Jiraiya asked casually. Seeing someone not much older than himself, he didn't suspect anything.

"Big brother, it's almost noon. Why don't you go eat lunch first and come back later? Who knows when our captain will show up."

Jiraiya casually threw an arm around Isamu's shoulder as if they were already friends.

"I am your new captain."

Isamu looked at him with an amused smile.

This guy really was incredibly outgoing. No wonder he would later travel all over the Ninja World—his social skills were ridiculous.

Jiraiya froze, still holding Isamu's shoulder.

The other two also stared in disbelief.

Yesterday their Hokage instructor had told them a powerful shinobi would come to guide them. The man standing in front of them was only about seven or eight years older than they were. At best, he looked like a Chunin—not the powerful expert they had imagined.

"Big brother, stop joking. How could you be our captain? Our previous captain said the new one would be a super powerhouse."

Jiraiya still had his arm around Isamu's shoulder as he spoke.

"Do I not look like a powerhouse?"

Isamu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

Seeing that expression, Jiraiya quickly withdrew his arm.

Isamu looked at the three of them calmly.

"I am your new captain—Uchiha Isamu. From now on, we'll be completing missions together."

"Hmph! You made us wait here all morning. What strength do you have to be our captain?"

"If you want our recognition, defeat the three of us. Otherwise, we won't accept you!"

Jiraiya immediately jumped forward and pointed at Isamu.

Although Orochimaru and Tsunade didn't say anything, their expressions showed they agreed.

The reason was simple.

He looked too young.

"I agree with that logic," Isamu said calmly. "The Ninja World does speak through strength."

"But there's no need for a fight. I have a better way to prove it."

The three exchanged confused glances before looking back at him.

A faint smile appeared on Isamu's lips.

He directly copied the same intimidation tactic Senju Tobirama once used against Sasuke during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

A massive surge of Chakra erupted from his body.

The ground beneath his feet cracked as the overwhelming pressure spread outward like a storm.

The terrifying aura slammed into the three Genin.

"What?! So strong!"

The trio staggered backward several steps under the pressure.

Seeing that they had been forced back several meters, Isamu withdrew his Chakra and looked at them with a smile.

"So… does that prove I'm qualified to be your captain?"

The three nodded rapidly, shock filling their faces.

Just releasing his Chakra had produced such overwhelming pressure. If he actually fought seriously, the result would be terrifying.

Luckily, they hadn't actually challenged him.

Watching them shrink back nervously, Isamu felt a bit amused.

Tobirama's intimidation trick really was effective.

Even Sasuke with the Mangekyo Sharingan had been shaken by it—these three Genin didn't stand a chance.

"Alright, let's introduce ourselves."

"I'll go first."

"My name is Uchiha Isamu. I'm 16 years old, and from now on I'll be your Jonin instructor."

"Wait… an Uchiha?"

The three of them hadn't expected their new captain to belong to the Uchiha Clan.

Seeing their strange expressions, Isamu smiled slightly.

"You don't happen to have some kind of prejudice against the Uchiha, do you?"
