Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Ninjutsu of Hashirama Senju



The Wood Clone Jutsu isn't particularly worth learning.

Perhaps it's due to Sasuke's chakra reserves.

When Sasuke performed the technique following the hand seal sequence from the Scroll of Seals,

the speed at which the clones appeared… was way too slow.

Of course, it depends on who you're comparing him to. If it's Yamato, then naturally, Sasuke is much faster.

But compared to Hashirama Senju, Sasuke is extremely dissatisfied with this speed.

Looking at the two sluggishly emerging wood clones,

while they do seem quite lifelike,

at least more so than shadow clones, which feel much less real, the wood clones can only inherit Sasuke's taijutsu.

They are still distinct from the Wood Style: Multiple Wood Clone Jutsu.

The Multiple Wood Clone Jutsu functions somewhat similarly to the Shadow Clone Jutsu. However, since wood clones are essentially an extension of the caster, they can exhibit the same abilities as the caster.

This is why Madara could activate the Susanoo using wood clones.

"Do I need to combine the Shadow Clone Jutsu with the Wood Clone Jutsu?"

"In that case, it looks like I should take some time to study the Shadow Clone Jutsu as well."

As Sasuke spoke, he hesitated for a moment.

Something seemed to be missing not from the jutsu itself, but from the system. The system's voice didn't chime in as expected.

Sasuke was a bit surprised. In the past, when learning ninjutsu, all he needed to do was see it and perform it once, and the system would acknowledge his mastery.

But this time…

"Let's try again."

He formed hand seals, more fluidly than before. Once again, two wood clones appeared.

Four wood clones now stood behind Sasuke.

And finally, the familiar voice echoed:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully mastering Wood Style: Wood Clone Jutsu.]

[Wood Style: Wood Clone Jutsu (Beginner)]

It took two attempts for the system to acknowledge his mastery of the jutsu.

"No wonder it's Wood Style. The power of a Kekkei Genkai isn't something easily mastered."

Even without the system's confirmation, Sasuke could feel it. His first attempt at the Wood Clone Jutsu had been far from smooth.

Compared to basic elemental ninjutsu, mastering Wood Style was undoubtedly more challenging.

However, with Sasuke's talent, it only required a bit more time.

"Again!"

Sasuke wouldn't stop until he reached proficiency.

"Wood Style: Wood Clone Jutsu!"

With a rustling sound, wood clones formed one after another.

The number of wood clones behind Sasuke grew, eventually reaching a maximum of twenty. Any additional clones would cause the earlier ones to disappear.

This was the limit of Sasuke's current control twenty wood clones.

Even so, Sasuke felt that the number was somewhat low.

After about a dozen practice attempts, the system only upgraded the jutsu's proficiency to "Skilled." Meanwhile, Sasuke had used up more than half of his chakra.

Given Sasuke's current chakra reserves, consuming half was no small feat.

Even without activating Sage Mode, Sasuke's chakra reserves were significant.

Opening his system interface, Sasuke glanced at the section on chakra reserves:

[Chakra Reserves: Elite Jonin (Advanced)]

Advanced Elite Jonin-level chakra was equivalent to twenty times the chakra of an ordinary Jonin. For Sasuke to have consumed half of it was akin to expending the chakra of over ten Jonin.

This effort had only raised the Wood Clone Jutsu to "Skilled."

Sasuke finally began to feel the difficulty of leveling up ninjutsu.

If he kept practicing, he might completely exhaust his chakra just to increase the jutsu's proficiency.

Instead of overextending himself on the Wood Clone Jutsu, Sasuke decided to move on to other techniques. Among Hashirama's many Wood Style jutsu, the Wood Clone Jutsu was probably one of the simplest.

Sasuke didn't want to waste too much chakra on a beginner-level Wood Style jutsu.

He spread open the Scroll of Seals on the ground.

Scanning the more advanced Wood Style jutsu:

"Wood Dragon Jutsu, Wood Golem Jutsu, Rank Creation Jutsu, Everything Bends Jutsu…"

"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God, True Several Thousand Hands, Top Transformed Buddha, Karuan Entrances with Hands Hanging Down!!"

Even without considering Sage Art requirements, the chakra demands for these Wood Style jutsu were exceptionally high.

Sweat began to bead on Sasuke's forehead.

It was clear that he would need to put in significant effort for what lay ahead.

However, having mastered Sage Mode and gained boosts like Reverse Scale and Sage-enhanced abilities, Sasuke's chakra recovery speed with natural energy was substantial even if it didn't match Hashirama's, it was close to half.

This gave Sasuke enough strength to pursue these techniques.

Not learning them would only make him restless.

Clenching his teeth, he declared, "Whatever, I'll learn them all first!"

Yet, mastering these techniques with his current chakra reserves alone wouldn't suffice.

"Sage Mode… activate!"

Sasuke immediately entered Sage Mode.

Unlike Naruto, who needed to refine all his chakra into Sage chakra to activate Sage Mode, Sasuke only needed to refine a small amount of Sage chakra. He could then actively or passively absorb natural energy to quickly replenish it.

Feeling the chakra in his body gradually replenish, a faint killing intent gleamed in Sasuke's eyes a restless energy bubbling within him.

He decided to start with the Wood Dragon Jutsu.

As for techniques like Deep Forest Emergence and Flowering Deep Forest Emergence, he would leave those for later.

Sasuke turned his attention to another section of the scroll.

"Summoning: Fivefold Rashomon…"

This technique was a powerful defensive move capable of withstanding Tailed Beast Bombs. Sasuke decided to prioritize it.

"No-Seal Healing, Four Red Yang Formation, Darkness Jutsu!"

Healing, barrier techniques, genjutsu!

These three techniques also seemed worthwhile.

What surprised Sasuke was that No-Seal Healing was classified as a jutsu rather than a natural talent of Hashirama.

After reading its description, Sasuke understood.

The technique was an auxiliary jutsu developed based on the unique properties of Wood Style.

No wonder it was classified as a jutsu.

However, the caster needed two things: Wood Style abilities and vast chakra reserves. Without both, the jutsu was useless.

"This one is a must-learn!"

With Sage Mode, Sasuke no longer had to worry about chakra. However, injuries were still a concern!
