Sasuke shook his head, "Not interested. Being Hokage is too exhausting and dull. Freedom is what I seek."

The Third Hokage scrutinized Sasuke's face, searching for any signs of deception, but found none. Sasuke truly had no desire to take the mantle of Hokage. He was more interested in living on his own terms.

"I've also heard." The Hokage continued, "That you've changed a lot recently. In front of your classmates, you declared that both Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino are your girlfriends. Is that true?"

Sasuke chuckled, "If a man doesn't enjoy some romance in his youth, then he's wasted it. I like both Sakura and Ino, and to make them both happy, I'll be their shared boyfriend."

The Hokage raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's boldness, "While many men may have multiple wives, Konoha traditionally practices monogamy."

Sasuke wasn't fazed, "That's only because most men lack the ability to handle more than one woman. Even in monogamous relationships, people cheat and lie. At least I'm honest about it."

The Hokage, surprised by Sasuke's unapologetic confidence, grinned, "What an interesting outlook. But, don't let Sakura and Ino get jealous of each other. And, can you handle their parents? If they come to me with complaints, I'll have to address it as Hokage."

Sasuke grinned, "Don't worry, Third Hokage. If I can manage Sakura and Ino, I can handle their parents too."

The Hokage looked at Sasuke curiously, "You seem to have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, young man."

Sasuke extended his hand, "Would you like to see for yourself, Hokage?"

The Third Hokage, intrigued by Sasuke's confidence, reached out and grasped his hand, sensing the boy's chakra strength.

[Ding!]

A pleasant notification rang out in Sasuke's mind. The [Invincible Sign-In System] had activated.

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining Fire Release Ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining Earth Release Ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining Lightning Release Ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining Water Style Ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining Wind Style Ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations host on signing in with the Hokage and obtaining the Sealing Technique.]

The Third Hokage, known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," had unknowingly bestowed Sasuke with incredible powers.

The three disciples are the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Such a respected figure had just touched hands with Sasuke.

Sasuke successfully signed in and obtained most of the abilities of the Third Hokage.

There were so many types of ninjutsu that they could only be referred to generally as Fire Release, Wind Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, and others.

So cool!

In just a moment, Sasuke possessed the strength of the "Ninjutsu Professor."

Along with the Nine-Tails' chakra and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, today's Sasuke was no weaker than the Third Hokage.

"Huh?"

Just as the Third Hokage noticed that Sasuke had the chakra levels of a Jonin, Sasuke withdrew his hand.

"Third Hokage, I suddenly feel that it's better to keep some things private." Sasuke said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in becoming Hokage or seeking revenge. I will help protect Konoha Village, but now you understand something: I like beautiful women, just like your apprentice, Jiraiya..."

Sasuke smiled mischievously and added, "So, Third Hokage, even if you don't support me, please don't oppose me. Oh, and by the way, picking up girls costs money. So, could you give me the inheritance of my clan after they were exterminated?"

The Third Hokage was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Sasuke to be so confident.

The Uchiha clan's destruction had been a painful scar for Sasuke and many of Konoha's high-ranking officials. It wasn't a topic that anyone wanted to bring up unless absolutely necessary.

And yet here Sasuke was, asking for the clan's inheritance, just to fund his pursuit of women.

'How is that possible?' The Third Hokage thought.

The Uchiha clan's inheritance, after their downfall, had amounted to a significant sum.

Sasuke knew it wouldn't be easy to get the money, but he had tsighed,

Earlier that morning, he had taken the female ninja Tsubaki shopping, and it had cost quite a bit. If he wanted to live freely, without constraints, he would definitely need more funds.

"Third Hokage, I just want to reclaim my clan's inheritance. Is that so unreasonable?" Sasuke sighed, "If I can't get it, I'll just have to find another way to make money."

As he spoke, Sasuke deliberately activated his Sharingan.

At first, he showed the two-tomoe Sharingan, then quickly shifted to the three-tomoe version. But that wasn't enough.

He activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The effect was immediate.

When Sasuke revealed the Mangekyō Sharingan in front of the Third Hokage, even if it was for just a moment before deactivating it, the Hokage was visibly shaken.

The Third Hokage's eyes, normally dim with age, suddenly gleamed with intensity.

"How is that possible? The Mangekyō Sharingan..." He murmured, his body trembling.

He instinctively wanted to catch Sasuke and demand answers, but Sasuke quickly stepped back, as if disappointed with the Hokage's reaction.

The Third Hokage was once again shocked by Sasuke's abilities. Even if he hadn't planned on attacking Sasuke, a Genin fresh out of the academy should have been easy to capture.

But he couldn't.

The Hokage couldn't believe that the young Sasuke standing before him was already nearly as strong as himself.

'This is terrifying! Could Sasuke, a descendant of the Uchiha clan, be this powerful?'

In the original timeline, Sasuke's early growth had been seen as a disappointment to the Uchiha name. But here, Sasuke was from another world, and he had started off with explosive power.

Just a glimpse of his abilities was enough to leave the Third Hokage in awe.

"Sasuke, tell me—how strong are you? How did you acquire the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

The Third Hokage knew the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara and the infamous Uchiha Itachi, who had single-handedly massacred the Uchiha clan. He knew Itachi's strength well—Itachi was a genius among geniuses.

But Sasuke seemed even more formidable than Itachi.

More cunning too.

The Third Hokage hadn't even noticed his strength until now.

Sasuke turned and sighed.

"Third Hokage, if you refuse to give me my clan's inheritance, why should I reveal my true power to you?" He asked, "Do you really think you can control me, Uchiha Sasuke?"

The Third Hokage was stunned.

Sasuke was using a combination of kindness and intimidation again, switching between the two with ease. He knew that if he didn't show his strength, the Hokage would never respect him.

He wasn't like Uchiha Itachi, who had destroyed his own clan to help Konoha.

And as a time traveler, Sasuke had no loyalty to the Uchiha clan.

He was free, doing whatever he pleased.

He would live life on his own terms, never allowing himself to be pushed around.

"Sasuke, your thoughts are dangerous..." The Third Hokage said, his voice unusually even, "Why are you hiding your strength?"

Sasuke replied, "Have I really hidden my strength? Didn't I just show you a glimpse of it?"

A glimpse?

The Third Hokage was shocked again.

How terrifying.

The Sasuke standing before him wasn't like Uchiha Itachi at all. He seemed more like Uchiha Madara, the legendary figure.

Sasuke, sensing that he might be overdoing it, continued, "Like I said, I have no interest in revenge or becoming Hokage. I just want to be free and enjoy life. I feel like my personality is somewhat like Jiraiya's, one of the Sannin, except..."

"First, I'm more handsome than Jiraiya. And second, I'm stronger than Jiraiya."

"Third, I'm more responsible. I take care of my women, unlike Jiraiya, who only knows how to party and chase after girls..."

The Third Hokage was speechless.

Sasuke was still very young, yet he already possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan and Jonin-level chakra reserves. And he clearly had hidden strength.

He showed no reverence for Jiraiya, one of the Three Sannin, whereas even elite Jonin like Hatake Kakashi referred to Jiraiya as "senior" with great respect.

"Sasuke." The Third Hokage finally said, "I'll consider giving you part of the Uchiha clan's inheritance. But you must promise that your power will never be used to harm the village."

The Hokage feared that Sasuke, with his strength and arrogance, could one day become the next Uchiha Madara.

Sasuke smiled, "Don't worry, Third Hokage. Konoha has treated me well, and I will protect the village. But whether I become the next Jiraiya, or the next Orochimaru, depends on how the village treats me."

Sasuke had the strength to back up his words.

To demonstrate his abilities, he formed hand seals.

"Fire Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, Earth Release..."

He performed a series of ninjutsu, one after the other. He was like a second Third Hokage—a true "Ninjutsu Professor."

The Third Hokage stood there, utterly stunned.

'Is this really young Sasuke?'
