Chapter 433 Containers

The soft moonlight fell on the street. Although the bustling area used to be vaguely visible, the empty scene and the dark houses made the atmosphere here seem particularly deserted.

Sasuke, who was lying on the bed, sat up suddenly from the bed, his temple hair was slightly wet with cold sweat, his face was pale, pain and panic appeared in his eyes, and the terrifying image in his mind lasted for a long time.

"Damn, I'm having nightmares again..."

It's been a long time since I had a nightmare, but I don't know why, after returning to Konoha from the country of Nami, before the next day, I had the nightmare I used to dream about in the middle of the night.

That **** night.

Familiar faces of the tribe were killed by the knife.

There is blood everywhere in the house, and the parents who fell in a pool of blood...

For Sasuke, that was without a doubt the childhood nightmare that he least wanted to recall.

So much so that before being taught by Kakashi, he was tortured by this nightmare every night, and everything about that night was firmly etched in his mind, not daring to forget it for a moment.

Even take it as a reason to live.

Revenge.

Sasuke got off the bed and turned on the switch at the head of the bed. The room was immediately illuminated by fluorescent lamps. In the dark night, the light emitted by the fluorescent lamps was pale in color.

Sasuke walked to the desk in thin pajamas and slippers, picked up the cup and poured a glass of water from the teapot.

There are pen holders, books, and some blank scrolls on the desk, on which I write my understanding and perception of ninjutsu, which is convenient for me to remember, comprehensively cover my own situation, and check for gaps.

Since the days of ninja school, Sasuke has been a top student.

Although in the written test, he is always overwhelmed by his current teammate Sakura, but the written test results are among the best in the grade, and there is no so-called short board. Taking notes is also a habit of Sasuke.

Sasuke drank hot water, the expression on his face gradually returned to calm, and his breathing began to become even.

After drinking the water, Sasuke looked at the clock on the desk. The hour hand on it was between 12 and 1. It was just past 0:00 in the morning, and there were still several hours before dawn.

It's just that because of the nightmare, Sasuke can't feel sleepy at all.

After returning from the land of waves, at six o'clock in the afternoon, when it just fell into the night, he fell into bed at home tired and went to sleep.

"Measuring..."

Sasuke chewed on these two words that had troubled him for a long time.

are also the two words Uchiha Itachi kept saying to himself when he left.

Just because of this boring reason, he killed his parents, his lover, and his clansman...

The mood that had calmed down was once again filled with unwillingness and anger.

But Sasuke knew that anger and unwillingness would not help.

There is still a big gap between myself and Itachi, now if I look for each other in the past, I will only be killed.

and-

"Nation of Demons...Uchiha's family crest, that's the only one I can't read wrong."

Sasuke's tone was quite positive.

Although there are cases of misjudgment, the pride of the Uchiha clan has already been engraved in his bones.

The emblem of the family is also one of the souls of the Uchiha clan, and only ninjas of the Uchiha clan are eligible to use that kind of mark.

In other words, the certain ninja who was seen following the girl from the Oni Nation at the Port of the Navi Country that day was undoubtedly a member of the Uchiha Clan.

However, it doesn't make sense logically.

The Uchiha clan founded the Konoha Ninja Village with the Senju clan since the Warring States Period, and is one of the founders of Konoha.

This also means that the Uchiha clan and Konoha have been completely bound together.

Based on this premise, how could there be clansmen joining other countries?

But the family crest clearly specifies that the opponent is a ninja from the Uchiha clan.

Ninja emblems cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause all kinds of troubles.

Sasuke felt his mind becoming confused.

Is it a tribe left outside a long time ago?

But, why has he never heard of this matter?

etc-

There was a flash of inspiration in Sasuke's mind, and in the confusion, he seemed to recall something.

If he remembers correctly, when he went to the library of the Ministry of Intelligence to search for the information of the Uchiha clan, some of the clan's materials were deliberately torn up.

Those tribesmen, I have never heard of them, and have never seen them in the family.

Could it be that these people whose whereabouts are unknown went to the kingdom of ghosts?

Sasuke frowned, and for some reason, the thoughts in his mind became more and more chaotic.

"Find an opportunity to ask Kakashi. As the head of Anbu, he will definitely know something. The most important thing right now is to become stronger as soon as possible."

To become strong, you need a strong force.

Only when you have strength can you go to Itachi for revenge.

This is Sasuke's current survival goal. Even if he wants to revitalize the clan, it is something he must do after killing Itachi.

If you can't even deal with a traitor, how can you start to revitalize the clan.

Sasuke, who was completely sleepy, put down the drinking cup in his hand, walked to the hanger, and changed into the clothes he was going out. Then he picked up the ninja tool for training, walked out of the house, passed the dark street, and headed towards the forest belonging to the Uchiha clan.

The meeting time is after lunch, outside the Yile Ramen shop.

When Sasuke came here, he found that Naruto was communicating with a boy of the same age with pineapple hair.

Nara Shikamaru.

The boy's name suddenly appeared in Sasuke's mind.

Like Naruto, he was his classmate in the ninja school.

Born in the Nara clan, his father is the patriarch of the Nara clan. According to Kakashi, Shikamaru's father is not only the patriarch of the Nara clan, but also the leader of the Konoha Jonin squad.

Just like the Uchiha clan, before the clan was exterminated, they had been in control of Konoha's security force, and their power was comparable to that of Anbe.

The Nara clan also has traditions from ancient times.

Konoha's successive ninja squad leaders were all served by ninjas from the Nara clan, which shows that the ninjas of this ninja clan have won the trust of Hokage in terms of ability and character.

As the heir of such a big man, Sasuke dare not underestimate him, even if the other party is extremely lazy in school, and even the exams are so-so and perfunctory.

When he graduated and assigned classes, Sasuke fantasized that it would be great if he could be in the same team as the other party.

Now it seems that the idea at that time is still somewhat naive.

"Yo, Sasuke, good afternoon."

Escaping from the chattering Naruto, after Shikamaru saw Sasuke, it was like seeing a savior, and quickly greeted Sasuke who was walking towards him.

"good afternoon."

Sasuke also nodded to him, as a greeting.

Naruto was dissatisfied with Sasuke's sudden intervention, snorted angrily, and turned his face to the other side.

"What are you talking about?"

Sasuke ignored Naruto's awkward behavior because he was used to it.

No matter how stupid Naruto does, he will not be surprised and shocked.

"Naruto sent me some special products brought back from the land of waves. By the way, let me tell you about your glorious deeds in this C-level mission. It seems that the three of you teamed up and defeated Jonin or something."

Lu Jiu raised the package in Yang's hand. It was a special product that Naruto brought back from the country of Nami. It was wrapped in kraft paper. It is not difficult to guess that it should be a special snack with a long shelf life.

After all, things that are too expensive, even the starting capital of the following ninja can't afford to buy them.

"Your relationship is very good."

Sasuke was quite surprised.

Shikamaru sighed, and said, "It's very troublesome to take care of this idiot. As for Choji, he's really looking forward to foreign specialty snacks."

Thinking of this, Shikamaru was glad that he didn't tell Ino when he came.

Otherwise, after seeing Sasuke, I will chat here endlessly.

"How has your group been?"

Sasuke asked with interest as he leaned against the electric pole beside him.

"How else? It's not as good as your seventh class. You have completed more than 30 D-level tasks in a month, and now you have completed C-level tasks...It's like treating the tasks as assembly line products in the factory and producing them. You are too diligent."

Shikamaru was a little ashamed.

Compared with the seventh class, the tenth class he belongs to is a bit free and loose.

After graduating from school, it has been more than a month and a half. As a result, only a dozen D-level tasks have been completed, and C-level tasks will depend on the situation.

Maybe apply at the end of this month, maybe you can get it from Hokage.

Only for C-level tasks, his inner enthusiasm is not very high.

If possible, it would be perfect to do D-level missions in the village for a lifetime.

When you grow up, marry an ordinary woman, raise your child, and then provide for the elderly, and live an ordinary life...

Before he knew it, Shikamaru began to fantasize about the future.

Everything in life has been planned in great detail.

Only in this way can we plan ahead.

"I heard that the jounin of your tenth class is the second son of Naruto-sama, and also the elite of Konoha jounin."

Sasuke said very concerned.

"It's just a smoker who can't leave his cigarette, and from time to time, he goes to Shinobu in the eighth class to ask for his care... Woman, what a troublesome existence."

Shikamaru scratched his head in distress.

From this, it can be judged that except for the seventh class, the rest of the ninja team this year did not show a positive attitude towards the task. At least from Shikamaru's tone, Sasuke did not hear the other party's enthusiasm for the task.

However, Sasuke still reserves his opinion on whether Shikamaru is lazy.

Among all the ninja, the only one he can't see through is Shikamaru.

His thinking is different from Naruto who is full of surprises, but a real rich mind, and he will not think about unrealistic things all day long.

Perhaps, the other party will become a strong opponent for him in the future.

"Okay, it's almost time for chatting. Next, you guys are going to perform tasks. Our tenth class also has tasks to do in the afternoon. Let's stop here today, and we will talk when we have time."

Shikamaru took the package of special products, said goodbye to Sasuke and Naruto, then turned and left.

Not long after Shikamaru left, Sakura and Kakashi also came here from different directions to meet, and the seventh class started a busy and fulfilling mission life again.

In ninja strength, what is the most important proportion?

Ninjutsu?

Illusion?

Physical arts?

No, regarding this issue, Sasuke thinks it should be redefined.

In the past, he only paid attention to Kakashi's incomparably gorgeous and powerful ninjutsu, but forgot that any ninjutsu, illusion, and physical jutsu were released on the basis of chakra.

Without the support of Chakra, no matter what kind of ninjutsu, illusion, or physical arts, it will appear weak.

Therefore, if a ninja wants to make himself stronger and increase his chakra, it is undoubtedly a smart choice.

However, Chakra training is extremely difficult.

It takes a long time to accumulate. Simply put, it is not something that can produce obvious changes in a week, a month, or even a few months.

At this point, even Sasuke, who is a genius, has to admit that relying on his own efforts, it is impossible to obtain powerful chakra in a short time to supply the release of Chidori and Sharingan.

But without solving this problem, many of his abilities will not be able to be displayed.

Chakra... Next, if you want to greatly improve your own strength, maybe there is more than one way to improve Chakra, but improving Chakra is undoubtedly one of the best ways to further liberate your hands and feet, and will not let yourself be **** in battle.

Recalling Naruto's fighting style, all Sasuke could think of was extravagance and waste.

The shadow avatar technique has no rules, but Naruto can rely on his own powerful chakra to let the shadow avatars fight wave after wave. Even a ninja of the middle ninja level, once caught in Naruto's rhythm, can only be defeated.

Because Naruto's chakra is too much, even if it is purely exhausted, it will eventually make the Chunin desperate.

As for Jonin, that is another topic. With Naruto's current strength, it is not enough to bridge the gap between himself and Jonin.

For ninjas of that class, crowd tactics are not very easy to use.

Of course, if thousands of shadow clones can be separated at one time, the situation is different.

But Sasuke felt that no matter how many Chakras Naruto had, it was impossible to reach this level.

But there is no doubt that Chakra's influence on a ninja is extremely huge.

Then, there is only one question left in front of Sasuke.

Do you choose a forbidden technique that can burst chakra for a short time and is harmful to your body, or choose a mild method that takes a certain amount of time to produce obvious effects and is safer and healthier?

Although these two ways, Sasuke is very excited.

But since Kakashi gave these two choices, it means that with his ability, he can only choose one of them.

Moreover, he doesn't have that much time to explore a completely unfamiliar field.

Lei Dun Chidori's next derivative ninjutsu, as well as the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, are enough for him to study for a long time.

His energy and time are limited. It is completely impossible to want to eat both.

If revenge is the only goal, then choose the first one, and the quick revenge is naturally the best.

But his purpose is not just revenge, after that revitalization of the clan is equally important.

Even if this goal is ranked after revenge, it means that it occupies an important proportion in my heart.

Based on the balance of the two, after completing the D-level tasks normally in the afternoon, Sasuke left the team as usual, and took out the business card that Kakashi gave him when he was in the land of waves from his pocket.

If I remember correctly, Kakashi meant to let him go to Konoha Hospital to find a high-level hospital administrator named 'Asami Masumi'.

His strength is already strong enough compared to his peers, there is no need to give up his future life for short-term benefits.

Revenge may be his obsession, but it shouldn't let it completely dominate his life.

Most importantly, Sasuke doesn't want to act exactly according to Itachi's will.

Itachi let him aim at revenge, live in a humble way, until he has the power of revenge, and then go to revenge.

Then you should fight and resist the order of the other party.

Even if it is revenge, I should be upright and upright, worthy of being a ninja of the Uchiha clan.

Compared to him, the avenger, Itachi, who has defected from the village, looks more like a bereaved dog.

So, Sasuke's inner choice is very clear.

"Are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

When I came to Konoha Hospital and entered it, I wanted to go directly to the pharmacy department and look for the director of the pharmacy department, Masumi Asami, but not long after Sasuke stepped into the hospital area, an extremely young female nurse in white came from the opposite side. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old and was an intern. She was holding some medical supplies in her arms, as if she was examining something.

"Yes."

Sasuke lingered on the female nurse. She had a handsome appearance, and her long black hair was tied together at the back of her head, making her look clean and concise. It's just that there is not much expression on her delicate and fair face, which makes her look a little indifferent.

From her body, you can feel the obvious smell of disinfectant.

"I see, are you here to get the medicine?"

Get medicine?

Sasuke's eyes were confused.

"Mr. Kakashi pre-ordered a batch of new medicine here a while ago. Since you are here, it seems that Mr. Kakashi has put the work of getting the medicine on you."

What about pre-ordering, taking medicine... Sasuke couldn't understand it at all.

"Come with me to see Director Asami, the medicine is with her. The quantity is a bit large, and the types of medicines have not been carefully classified, which may take a lot of your time."

Finally got to the right point, Director Asami...Masumi is the medical ninja Masumi Asami.

The other party is the director of the pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital, who holds a lot of real power in Konoha Hospital.

Sasuke suppressed the doubts in his heart, and followed the female nurse obediently.

The other party is obviously Asami Masumi's person, but the attitude of speaking seems to be playing some riddles.

Following the female nurse, Sasuke came to the area managed by the pharmacy department.

The pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital is responsible for quality supervision and inspection of all medicines in Konoha, and often also engages in drug research and preparation, and can give practical and useful suggestions for the effects and performance of drugs.

It can be said that only drugs that have passed the quality inspection of this department can be put into use. For unqualified medicines, this department can completely dispose of them.

And due to the need for drug performance feedback and various data of patients, this department will also carry out detailed data collection.

In the eyes of this department, almost all the patients in Konoha are in a transparent state.

Recalling the great authority of the pharmacy department, without knowing it, Sasuke followed the female nurse and had penetrated into the central core area of the pharmacy department.

"come in."

The female nurse opened the door and led Sasuke in.

The strong smell of disinfectant rushed into the nasal cavity, serious and cold.

There were a lot of medicines in the room, but after the female nurse closed the door, she went straight to the end of the pharmacy, made a seal with her hands, and a floor was immediately suspended, revealing a secret passage leading to the ground.

Sasuke frowned, not understanding what is the use of setting up an underground darkroom in such a place.

"You can go down now. Director Asami is waiting for you below. I'm here to help you sort out the medicine that needs to be taken away later."

The female nurse said something indifferently, then ignored Sasuke, walked to the shelf next to her, and took the medicine that Sasuke didn't know what to use.

Of course, these drugs are not the key, they are probably just used to deceive people.

After hesitating for a moment, Sasuke walked down the dark passage.

The dark passage is much brighter than I imagined. There are fluorescent lights along the way, the road surface is very clear, and the light is not dazzling.

After a few steps, we reached the ground floor, which is a small platform.

A large amount of medical equipment is stored here, as well as operating tables for operations.

Beside the operating table, stood a woman wearing a white coat, a white mask, and thick-rimmed glasses.

From the appearance, it is impossible to tell how old she is, but judging from the quality of the skin exposed on the forehead, she may be younger than Kakashi.

If the age is older than Kakashi, it can only show that the other party has very advanced beauty skills.

Through thick-rimmed glasses, her pupils cannot be seen.

Because of the reflection of the fluorescent lamp, the lens is white.

But Sasuke could feel that the other party's eyes were quietly looking at him from behind the lens.

For a moment, Sasuke felt as if he was naked in front of the other party, completely seen through.

is a very powerful ninja! Sasuke was heartbroken.

He doesn't know how the opponent's strength compares to Kakashi's, but he thinks that among the Jonin, the opponent also belongs to the ranks of the elite.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

She pronounced Sasuke's name with a slight questioning sound.

"yes."

Sasuke looked at the other party.

Not surprisingly, she is Asami Masumi, director of the Pharmacy Department of Konoha Hospital.

A mysterious and mysterious woman.

"It doesn't seem too stupid for you to choose to come to me."

"Don't get me wrong, I just heard from Kakashi that you can make me stronger."

Sasuke's tone was cold and hard.

Asami Masumi didn't care about Sasuke's rather rude attitude.

"Really? Then lie down obediently, my time is limited, I have to complete the operation for you as soon as possible."

She points to the operating table.

"Operation?"

"Yes, it is not an easy task to permanently increase Chakra."

"Then this operation is..."

Sasuke's face was a little surprised.

It always feels a bit strange to be operated on by others when I am not sick.

"To put it bluntly, chakra is derived from the combination of physical and mental energy. Any strengthened chakra secret technique that exceeds the limits of one's own physical and mental energy will leave strong side effects and may even cause death. The eight-door armor technique is a model. This is because the quality of the operator's own 'container' is not good."

Asami Masumi spoke eloquently.

Sasuke listened quietly without disturbing.

"If you want to increase chakra without side effects, you must first solve the problem of the quality of the 'container'. In theory, as long as the quality of the 'container' is strong enough, even if you open the eight doors, there will be no side effects..."

However, if the body and spirit are already strong to that extent, the extent to which the Eight-door Dunjia Technique can be improved may not be as wonderful as imagined.

No matter how much the potential of the human body is squeezed, there is a limit after all. Some things cannot be created out of nothing.

"so what?"

"The evolution of Sharingan is related to the spirit. In other words, your current spiritual power has surpassed your own physical body. I think you also have the feeling that at the moment you awakened Sharingan, your chakra has more or less increased."

Asami Masumi said patiently.

Sasuke was thoughtful and had to agree with the other party's point of view.

"It's just that the increase is too small. That's because your physical strength hasn't kept up. As a result, the quality of your 'container' is lacking. The solution is very simple, that is, increase your physical strength as much as possible to make up for the shortcomings in the 'container'. In this way, you can store more chakra."

After listening, Sasuke closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them soon after, and took a serious glance at Asami Masumi.

The other party was not in a hurry, as if he didn't care whether he agreed or not.

"Hope it's as you said."

Sasuke didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly walked to the operating table, sat on the operating table with a cooperative attitude, then lay down quietly, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into darkness before his eyes.

"The operation to raise my 'container'...you can start."
