Sasuke took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I admit this flaw. I'll find a way to overcome it! Please tell me the second flaw."
Natsuki glanced at Sasuke and didn't sense any perfunctory attitude; it seemed like he had really taken the words to heart.
That was good.
After all, Sasuke had been traumatized from a young age, which twisted his mind. That's why he later fell into darkness for the sake of power.
His mental state had never been stable, constantly thinking about revenge, and after killing Uchiha Itachi, he learned even more truths, driving him to the point of insanity—he even tried to kill Sakura and Karin at one point. That was truly madness.
Now, teaching Sasuke to stay calm and think before acting would help prevent him from going down that path again.
Moreover, Sasuke's talent had indeed been affected by his mental instability. Think about it: how could someone who was constantly anxious, easily irritable, and prone to rage possibly learn properly?
Natsuki wrote down the second point on the paper:
"As I just mentioned, your second major flaw is that your chakra isn't abundant enough. Chakra is the body's energy, and naturally, the more the better—the more you have, the stronger you'll be. To be honest, neither you nor I have more chakra than Naruto. Even though he's still a bit of an idiot right now, once the day comes when he fully masters that power, he might end up surpassing both of us. You've probably noticed that already, right?"
"Naruto, huh... Yeah."
Sasuke recalled, "Naruto can summon hundreds of shadow clones at once. That level of chakra far surpasses mine. And as he keeps fighting, his growth rate is astonishing. So... how can I make my chakra increase explosively?"
Natsuki shrugged, "If you want normal chakra growth, just keep training your body. Once your mind stabilizes, your chakra will naturally increase. But if you want to reach Naruto's level... honestly, it's nearly impossible. The Uzumaki clan has always been known for their immense chakra reserves. It's a bloodline thing—just like how your Uchiha clan has the Sharingan."
Uzumaki clan?
Why had he never heard of them before?
If they had so much chakra, they should have produced plenty of strong shinobi and been famous, right?
"It's normal you haven't heard of them. The Uzumaki clan were residents of Uzushiogakure, but that village was destroyed. The survivors of the clan scattered across the world. Naruto's mother came to the Hidden Leaf. You probably know Naruto's the host of the fox demon—there are too many taboos involved, things we can't discuss."
Natsuki's tone grew more cautious.
Even though Hiruzen had died, some topics were still best left unspoken.
Matters concerning the Jinchūriki were sensitive. The village higher-ups treated them as taboo subjects, including Naruto's parents.
But Sasuke, deep in thought, suddenly said, "Natsuki, if I became a Jinchūriki... would my chakra explode in size?"
"Yare yare... You're starting to think now, Sasuke!"
Natsuki was surprised. "How did you come up with that? Come on, tell me!"
He was genuinely shocked.
He never thought Sasuke would actually think about becoming a Jinchūriki. It was a crazy idea—but not impossible.
After all, a Jinchūriki could draw chakra from the Tailed Beast, solving their chakra issues. And if someone could become a perfect Jinchūriki, they'd instantly reach Kage-level strength—more than enough to fight Uchiha Itachi.
Most importantly, the Akatsuki was about to start hunting Jinchūriki, and Itachi was assigned to the Leaf's side.
If Sasuke became a Jinchūriki, he'd gain the strength he desired, and Itachi would come after him to capture the Tailed Beast.
Wouldn't that align all the elements perfectly?
Could it be that Sasuke was a genius for thinking of such a brilliant plan?!
It was just... if Sasuke really succeeded, what would Itachi's expression be like when he heard the news?
Would he go berserk? After all, the weasel was a true brother complex—he would never just stand by and watch his little brother get the Tailed Beast ripped out and die. Would he betray the Akatsuki outright?
This was getting more and more interesting!
Of course, Natsuki was just a spectator in all this. He wasn't interfering.
He had only offered Sasuke some advice. The idea to become a Jinchūriki? That was Sasuke's own inspiration—nothing to do with Natsuki.
Sasuke looked a bit embarrassed. "Didn't you mention Naruto just now? He's a Jinchūriki, isn't he? I've seen him lose control with the Tailed Beast's chakra—his chakra was truly overwhelming. And during the exam, I also saw Gaara wielding the Tailed Beast's power. It was incredibly strong... That's what made me think of it."
Hmm, not bad, not bad. Sasuke really had learned to think!
And this idea was quite nice!
Many transmigrators who arrived in this world would solve their chakra shortages by becoming a Jinchūriki, right? The Jinchūriki route was the easy mode!
Natsuki gave him a thumbs up. "This idea is very good. See? After calming down and thinking things through, you've already come up with a good solution, haven't you?"
Sasuke nodded. "I think so too. But... how do I go about it?"
"Well... that's going to be tricky."
Natsuki analyzed, "There are nine Tailed Beasts in total, and most of them have been captured by the major villages. However, sometimes when a Jinchūriki dies, the Tailed Beast is reborn and left unsealed. You'll first need to find a Tailed Beast that's on its own. Then, you have to either master powerful fūinjutsu or find a skilled sealing master to help you. Only sealing techniques can bind a Tailed Beast into your body.
And finally, there's a big risk—Tailed Beasts are extremely strong. You'd have to defeat the beast first. Even after sealing it, the process wouldn't necessarily be stable. Look at Naruto—he has outbursts. Gaara also had mental instability issues. These are all factors you must consider."
Sasuke listened and nodded repeatedly, even subconsciously taking Natsuki's pen and jotting down notes.
Right now, he admired Natsuki a lot.
Natsuki's clear thinking, his ability to analyze problems so thoroughly—it all made him seem incredibly trustworthy.
Moreover, Natsuki knew a lot. It felt like no matter what you talked about, he could always provide information that others didn't know. It was quite the pleasant surprise.
After finishing his notes, Sasuke actually smiled a little. "Thanks, Natsuki. I'll be careful with the idea of becoming a Jinchūriki. Next... let's talk about my strengths. How should I make the most of them?"
Natsuki was a bit speechless at that.
Seriously, man? I just praised you for learning how to think, and now you're asking for the answer?
Use your brain to figure it out, for crying out loud!
Natsuki sighed and said, "Your strengths aren't that many. Basically, it's your Sharingan and your talent in Katon (Fire Release) and Raiton (Lightning Release).
The development of your Sharingan is very important. You should ask Kakashi-senpai for advice—he knows the most about it.
As for your Katon and Raiton talents, the Uchiha clan has always excelled in Katon. Go look for the training notes left by your ancestors and study them well.
For Raiton, I think you should continue practicing the Chidori and Hatake Sword Style. Once you build on that, you can develop your own techniques. When the time comes, your strength should at least be at the elite jōnin level."
