The sky is full of stars and the moonlight is shining obliquely.

Under the dim moonlight, a five or six-year-old boy wearing a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt moved his hands quickly and then put one hand in front of his mouth.

boom---
Crimson flames spewed out of the boy's mouth and gathered into a fireball with a diameter of two meters above the calm lake surface.

After half a breath,
The young man looked exhausted, breathing heavily, and muttered to himself with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Is my talent really not as good as his?"

"He can easily learn the Fireball, but I need to put in effort and sweat to learn it."

The young man was Uchiha Sasuke.

Not long ago, he was the second young master of the Uchiha family, the most powerful family in Konoha. He had a powerful father, a kind mother, a gentle brother, and respected clan members.

But all this was broken one night after school not long ago.

The person who broke it all was his beloved brother Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke's parents died at the hands of his own brother. Too many members of the clan died at the hands of Itachi, making him a hated person in the clan, or someone everyone deliberately avoids.

Now that he has returned home, he can no longer see the father who provided him with a strong sense of security, nor the mother who took care of him meticulously, nor the brother who once loved him.

At home, there is only a cold stove and a room filled with mixed memories of sadness and joy.

Outside, they face complicated looks from their clan members; at school, they face ridicule and mockery from their ignorant classmates, or even unintentional hurtful remarks.

If an ordinary person had experienced what he had experienced, he would most likely have suffered a mental breakdown by now, either going crazy or becoming decadent.

And he~
But it didn't collapse.

He just wants to improve his strength and find his brother Uchiha Itachi.

Kill Itachi!

"We are both born to the same parents, so why is there such a huge gap between my talent and his?"

"He was able to learn ninjutsu on his first try. Even though I put in a lot of effort, there is still a huge gap compared to him." Uchiha Sasuke muttered to himself in confusion.

Just at this moment, an old voice sounded in his ears.

"Because you have different talents from him."

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound, and was immediately startled. He quickly greeted and saluted respectfully, "Hello, Great Elder!"

Wang Ming looked at the young Erzhuzi in front of him.

Sasuke Uchiha!
It can be said that he is one of the few people in the Naruto plot whose thoughts tend to be normal.

He can be extreme, arrogant, jealous, and hateful...

The emotions of a normal person are most reflected in him.

He can also be said to be one of the few people with a normal personality in the Uchiha family.

pity……

What a pity he has a brother!
He has a brother, Uchiha Itachi, who is not a good brother.

Young Uchiha Sasuke was optimistic and cheerful, no different from an ordinary child.

Then his brother massacred the entire clan.

After finally meeting Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura, his personality became cheerful again, but his brother came back and shattered his confidence again, making him realize that there was no future for him to continue staying in Konoha.

Sasuke risked his life to learn snake-type ninjutsu and curse seals from Orochimaru. When he met Itachi, he stripped him of all his seals. This also caused Sasuke to lose the opportunity to contact natural energy, creating a gap between him and Naruto.

After finally killing Itachi, Itachi told him that he should go back to the village...

Meeting such a brother is really Sasuke's lifelong luck~~~~
"You and Itachi have different talents, so there's no need to compare yourself with him." Wang Ming said, looking at the lake in the distance.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke clenched his hands and said in a trembling voice, "The Great Elder is saying that my talent is too far behind Itachi's and that I will never be able to catch up with him?"

Wang Ming looked at Sasuke again after hearing this. He looked at the little guy who seemed to be hit, shook his head and said, "I didn't say you can't catch up with Itachi, but I said you have different talents from him."

Sasuke was stunned, and then asked directly: "Great Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Ming said slowly: "Apart from the Sharingan, Itachi's talent is his strong control over chakra, while your talent is more chakra!"

Sasuke thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "I have more chakra? But why aren't the fireballs I release as big as Itachi's, and their temperature isn't as high?"

Wang Ming said: "Because you don't have enough control over your chakra."

Sasuke suddenly felt a little depressed: "So chakra control is more important?"

Wang Ming denied his guess and said, "You are wrong! The amount of chakra is more important than the control of chakra."

"Strong control over chakra allows you to exert your strength to the fullest, and even achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"But the amount of chakra represents the upper limit of your strength."

"Control can be learned, but the amount of chakra is difficult to change."

Sasuke's eyes shone with brilliance as he asked, "Grand Elder, do you mean that I can surpass his strength?"

Wang Ming nodded: "Of course!"

"Besides, your control over chakra is actually no worse than mine."

Sasuke was stunned and asked in confusion: "Then why was Itachi able to learn the [Great Fireball Technique] in one go, but it took me a long time to practice?"

Wang Ming said: "Itachi's chakra is just like this cane, slender and small, and only requires a little effort to use it freely."

"And your chakra is like this big tree, heavy and huge. It takes more strength from you to lift it."

In addition to his own chakra, Sasuke also has chakra from Indra. In terms of the amount of chakra, Itachi really cannot compare with him.

The reason why Sasuke and Madara used large-scale ninjutsu as if they were using ordinary attacks was entirely due to Indra, not because all members of the Uchiha family had large amounts of chakra.

Obito has Hashirama cells in his body.

The amount of chakra of an ordinary Uchiha is indeed greater than that of ordinary people, but not many who can become jonin are normal people. They all have some unique talents to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, the amount of chakra of an Uchiha among jonin is only at a lower-middle level.

Otherwise, Wang Ming would not have chosen to leave the Third Hokage and Danzo and others as cannon fodder to consume other ninja villages.

"Then how should I practice chakra control?" Sasuke asked Wang Ming directly.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Chakra control can be practiced, but your training method is wrong."

Sasuke now only wanted to find Itachi and ask him why he killed his parents and avenge them. Therefore, he was very anxious and went directly to Wang Ming and asked, "Grand Elder, can you teach me?"

Wang Ming said: "I am the great elder of the Uchiha clan. If my clan members ask me for advice on cultivation, I will naturally not refuse." When Sasuke heard this, he was overjoyed. He finally didn't have to continue crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Because of Wang Ming's intervention, the Uchiha family was not destroyed, so the Third Generation and Danzo did not loot the Uchiha family. All they looted were a few scrolls of Fire Release Ninjutsu, which wasn't much better.

After Itachi killed Fugaku, he also took away all the mystical scrolls in Fugaku's collection.

"It's wrong for you to practice ninjutsu every day now."

The moment he finished speaking, Wang Ming also released a [Great Fireball]. Suddenly, a fireball appeared that covered the entire surface of the lake. The scorching heat made Sasuke's face red.

Uchiha Sasuke was shocked: "The strength of the Great Elder is actually stronger than that of my father and Itachi."

After Wang Ming released a ninjutsu, he said to Sasuke again: "I just used the [Great Fireball] as well. Do you know why our powers are different?"

Sasuke thought for a moment, then said, "I don't have as much chakra as you do."

Wang Ming nodded and said, "That's right! As long as enough chakra is invested, the power of the ninjutsu will naturally increase."

"You should not focus on the training of ninjutsu now, but on increasing the amount of chakra."

Sasuke thought after hearing this, "But I have already practiced the Chakra Refining Technique to the limit every day. Continuing to refine Chakra will only make me weak and comatose."

Wang Ming said: "Chakra is a product of the synthesis of spiritual energy and physical energy. Therefore, after you have practiced chakra refining techniques, you should practice more physical techniques."

"The stronger your body is, the more chakra you will have in your body."

"As long as you have enough chakra, even if you only know one fireball, you can defeat any enemy."

Sasuke suddenly understood what was going on and had a clear goal for his future training plan. However, he raised a question at this time: "Then there is no way for someone with less chakra to defeat someone with more chakra, Raman?"

Wang Ming shook his head and released a huge fireball. This time the diameter of the fireball was only one meter, but the temperature of the fireball was obviously much higher than the previous one.

"If you are low on chakra, you can choose to improve the purity of your chakra. The one with the purest chakra in Konoha is White Fang Hatake Sakumo. The sword energy he slashes out is sharper than any other weapon."

"This is the path chosen by people who don't have enough chakra. People who take this path have very strong chakra control. You still have a long way to go before you can reject this."

When Sasuke was about to start practicing, Wang Ming stopped him.

"follow me!"

Sasuke looked at Wang Ming in confusion, but still followed Wang Ming obediently.

········
Konoha!

Hokage Building.

In the office, Danzo Shimura, En Mito Kado, Koharu Utane, and Hiruzen Sarutobi were sitting together. His expression was very serious, without any joy on his face.

"Tell me what we should do!" Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the silence.

Utatane Koharu shook her head and said, "I can't think of a solution either. I didn't expect Danzo to be so crazy that he would actually attack the young patriarch of the ninja clan. No wonder Shikaku and the others directly convened a jonin conference this time to fight Hiruzen head-on. It turns out that it was you who pushed them into a desperate situation!"

Speaking of this, Utane Koharu couldn't help but get angry. In her mind, Danzo was not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if Danzo became the Fifth Hokage, the benefits to him would not be as great as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo. With the world being what it is, how could he not guess that Danzo would do this? He didn't want to be a cannon fodder for him to test the Uchiha family. He sighed deeply and said, "Alright!"

"Don't worry about who is right or wrong. Solving the problem at hand is the most important thing."

"Danzo! You have seriously offended all the major ninja clans in Konoha this time. At the mobilization meeting just now, they did not refuse any of our requests, but I am afraid that we cannot trust them in this war."

"I will give you 500 jonin from my family. I can't provide any more than that."

Danzo snorted when he heard this: "These ninjas are useless."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a headache: "Don't say such harsh words."

Then the Third Hokage looked at Utane Koharu and Mitokado En and said, "You should each send some jonin from your family to Danzo!"

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En looked unhappy.

"Huruzen! Our family doesn't have as strong a foundation as yours. We can get 500 jonin at once." said Utane Koharu.

Hearing this, Danzo said in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with 1000 jonin? It's not a problem for you to take out jonin. Don't show off."

During the reign of the Third Hokage, Konoha F4 transferred a large amount of resources to his own family.

Although the four of them all received a lot of resources, only Danzo did not put the resources into training ninjas for the family, but instead used them to train Root ninjas.

How strong his roots are, how strong are Utane and the Mitomon family.

During the Fourth World War, the number of jonin of the Sarutobi clan was comparable to that of the ninjutsu units of other ninja villages.

"Don't worry, he's just a Yunyin barbarian."

"He came here this time just to serve as a stepping stone for me to establish my authority as the fifth generation," Danzo said proudly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't be arrogant. You'd better be more cautious."

"The strength of the Fourth Raikage should not be underestimated."

Danzo: "I know!"

········
The border of the Fire Nation.

The headquarters of the Cloud Hidden Army.

Inside the spacious Raikage tent, the Fourth Raikage Ai was doing bench presses with a barbell.

"Lord Raikage, the news of our arrival should have reached Konoha."

"I think Konoha's main force will arrive soon." A young and beautiful female secretary stood next to the Raikage, holding a disk of information and reporting intelligence to him.

The Raikage said indifferently: "It doesn't matter!"

"During the war that broke out on the night of the Uchiha clan's annihilation, the combat power exposed by the Third Hokage, Danzo, Tsunade, and Jiraiya posed no threat to me at all."

"We need to pay attention to the Uchiha family. After experiencing the night of genocide, they absolutely dare not trust old Sarutobi. So no matter who they send over, they will just be sending themselves to death." The Raikage said domineeringly.

The pretty female secretary beside him nodded and said, "Our chances of winning are indeed very good."

"Among Konoha's Kage-level warriors, none of them, except Uchiha Setsuna, is a match for Lord Raikage."

"Besides that, their Nine-Tails Jinchuriki seems to be a five or six year old child who is completely unable to control the power of the tailed beast."

"In our village, besides Lord Raikage, there is also Lord Hi." (End of this chapter)
