I choose you!
Sasuke of the Ninja Path!
[Select Character Card: Uchiha Sasuke (Ninja Path)?]
[Yes!]
After confirming, the familiar opening animation swept over him once again.
"So annoying~ Sasuke!"
"So handsome, Sasuke!"
"Sasuke-kun, really!"
Amidst the sweet, chirping voices, a handsome face appeared.
"Everything I just said is true, my little wildcats."
"I will always stand by your side..."
The fashionably dressed Uchiha Sasuke wore a flirtatious expression.
He magically produced a rose and draped an arm around the two girls beside him.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to turn an ambiguous, flirtatious pink.
"Meeting me means you've encountered romantic difficulties, haven't you, little kitten?"
"Let me, Uchiha Sasuke, help you solve them."
Ninja Path Sasuke held the rose between his teeth and turned his head toward the camera.
He winked and made a heart shape with his hand.
"It is my honor to be of service."
The screen finally froze and disappeared, leaving Uchiha Gen to face the silence.
If Sasuke weren't such a stat monster, and if the face his parents gave him wasn't inherently handsome, he wouldn't have believed how greasy this animation was.
Art Department, what are you doing?
Why is the recruitment opening animation, which should be well-made, so short and terrible?
However, Uchiha Gen also knew that in the original work of his previous life, Ninja Path Sasuke appeared for only a few minutes in total.
They could only scrape together a few scenes like this.
"I should check the effects of this Character Card first."
His gaze focused again on the Character Card section.
There was a Tsunade card for a young girl and a Kakashi card for a boy.
The latter provided a slightly stronger boost to combat power than the former.
However, Lightning Release, Earth Release, and even the White Fang's swordsmanship could all be mastered through later learning.
The optimal future combination should be to equip the skills learned from the Young Kakashi card, put that card into storage, and then switch to Ninja Path Sasuke.
"The main cultivation direction from now on should be these abilities mastered by Kakashi."
[Character Card: Kakashi Hatake (Young) has been unequipped!]
[Character Card: Uchiha Sasuke (Ninja Path) has been equipped!]
In the bathtub, Uchiha Gen's body trembled slightly as he adapted to the changes brought by Ninja Path Sasuke.
His chakra quantity had increased compared to Young Kakashi.
After all, Sasuke at this stage was already sixteen or seventeen years old.
He possessed the Uchiha bloodline and had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
His chakra reserves were certainly much stronger than those of a normal adult ninja.
He closed and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowing with a blood-red light.
"Is this the power of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"
Uchiha Gen raised his arm, attempting to refine chakra and let it flow through his meridians.
In the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the movement of every wisp of chakra was reflected in his mind with perfect clarity.
Compared to the single-tomoe stage, it was like a severely nearsighted person suddenly putting on glasses that fit perfectly.
Moreover, the most direct sensation was not just this.
The movement of everything around him seemed to have the slow-motion button pressed.
Even his own body's movements slowed down.
The Sharingan's powerful dynamic vision and insight were displayed to the fullest at this moment.
Even the associated nerve centers were stimulated by the ocular power—a high-purity Yin Release chakra.
This increased their operating efficiency, allowing his internal image processor to keep up with the upgraded external display.
No wonder the Sharingan from two tomoe onwards possessed the ability to copy most conventional ninjutsu and taijutsu.
Every minute movement of the body and the trajectory of every wisp of chakra was seen clearly by the Sharingan.
It understood your ninjutsu and taijutsu even better than you did.
Not to mention, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan had one attribute that was the most powerful and feared by enemies.
Genjutsu!
And it was a powerful genjutsu that could be activated through the Sharingan with just a glance, without needing hand seals.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen could not wait to try it out.
Although he only knew some low to mid-level common genjutsu, this card came with them built-in.
Uchiha Gen felt the bathwater, which had cooled down considerably.
He got up, wiped himself clean, put on his clothes, and then found a mirror to place in front of him.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
A scarlet light flashed.
Uchiha Gen clearly felt the ocular power use his eyes as a medium, shoot toward the mirror, and then reflect back.
"Ugh—"
Uchiha Gen only frowned slightly before resisting the genjutsu cast upon himself.
The essence of Sharingan genjutsu is the application of ocular power.
After reflection by the mirror surface, much of its power dissipated.
Coupled with the Sharingan's inherently high resistance to genjutsu, the reflected power did not cause much negative impact.
His real goal was to see how many genjutsu were on this card.
He was quite satisfied with the effect of the first genjutsu.
However, Genjutsu: Sharingan was only a basic application of ocular power.
It was quick to activate, decent in power, and simple to use.
Then what about the second genjutsu?
Uchiha Gen once again channeled his ocular power and looked into the mirror.
In a daze, he saw pink bubbles seemingly emerging from his body.
His face inexplicably wore a clean, handsome, and soul-capturing smile.
It was as if one glance would make people fall for him.
The effect wasn't strong, lacking excessive charm or hypnotic ability.
Furthermore, even after closing the Sharingan, the effect of increased charm could be maintained on his body for a long time.
It was essentially boosting his lethality toward women.
"Slap!"
Uchiha Gen helplessly covered his forehead.
He truly hadn't expected this situation to occur, but it was within reason.
After all, this was the flashy Sasuke whose main job was picking up girls and whose secondary job was being a ninja.
Using Sharingan genjutsu to assist in wooing girls was probably unique.
The difficulty of executing this technique felt quite high, at least B-rank or above.
Despite being able to pull off such antics, flashy Sasuke hadn't completely lost the genius aptitude belonging to Uchiha Sasuke.
He just hadn't applied it all to righteous paths.
Soon, Uchiha Gen began testing the other abilities of flashy Sasuke.
There were many strange abilities: using visual-obstruction genjutsu combined with the Substitution Jutsu to conjure roses.
He could create impressive genjutsu effects to set the mood.
He also knew how to use highly realistic genjutsu combined with an improved Partial Transformation Jutsu to quickly escape embarrassment.
It was all for the sake of maintaining his "male god" image.
It was quite weird, but fortunately, his overall competency in other areas was solid.
