Hearing his words, Sasuke's eyes lit up. He was waiting for this. Although the previous information was shocking and important, he was waiting for this.
"As I said before, there are more than five ways to increase your strength. Some of them are extremely cruel but I will say it."
When they heard cruelty, everyone except Sasuke was terrified. They nervously waited for him to continue.
"Let's start with Simple Methods. Because you are a genius from the beginning, these methods would seem ordinary but would be extremely useful to you."
"First is Taijutsu. The best way to increase your strength is by learning Taijutsu. And, the second is Genjutsu. Because Taijutsu refers to Physical Energy while Genjutsu refers to Mental Energy, if you train both, you will be able to increase your Chakra Volume."
"The best way to increase your Taijutsu is to follow Lee's practice. The best way to increase your Genjutsu would be to use Sharingan constantly. Don't be afraid of overusing Sharingan."
"Just keep on using Genjutsu to push yourself to another level. Once you do so, your Chakra will improve exponentially."
"Third is to learn Sage Mode. This is a powerful method to increase your strength. But, in our entire group, only you and Naruto have the potential to learn Sage Mode."
"As for how to learn Sage Mode, you can ask Kakashi Sensei and let him find the proper teacher for you. Right now, there is only one person who can perform Sage Mode."
"It's Jiraya. But, Jiraya's Sage Mode might not be good for you. So, you can ask Anko who has the connection with Ryuchi Cave where you can learn Snake Sage Mode."
"Of course, the reason why I ask you to consult with Kakashi Sensei is that he has knowledge about Sage Mode. So, he would know when you will be ready to train Sage Mode."
"But if you ask me, wait for two years. Focus on increasing your Chakra then I will help with Sage Mode. Because if you immaturely try to learn Sage Mode, then you will die. There are no other consequences except death."
Hearing the consequences, even Sasuke was shaken. As for others, they were even more afraid. The consequence was extremely harsh.
At this moment, Shikamaru raised his hand and asked.
"Is it because of Chakra?"
Menma nodded his head and said.
"Sage Mode requires you to merge your Chakra with Nature Energy. There must be a perfect ratio and if you can't match this ratio, then you will die."
"Sasuke's Chakra Reserve is low but as I said, Chakra is made out of Physical Energy and Mental Energy. If you can improve both, then you can easily improve the Chakra Reserve."
Hearing his words, Sasuke took a deep breath and said.
"What about the last two methods?"
Menma went silent for a moment. Only after a while, he spoke.
"Fourth Method is cruel because you need to go through extremely harsh illusion. For example, the extermination of your family, death of your best friend, death of your loved ones."
"All of these can evolve your Sharingan. Once you evolve your Sharingan to the next level. And, I didn't mean two or three hooks. I meant the next level Sharingan."
"It is called Mangekyo Sharingan that your brother has. Sasuke let me be honest with you. Your love for your brother before his betrayal was too high. If you had loved your parents more than you loved your brother, you would've awakened your Mangekyo."
"This is why Uchiha are the most violent people but also the people who have the most love for others. On that night, if it was your brother who would've died instead, you would've awakened Mangekyo."
When he said that, Sasuke's reaction was quite dull. He didn't speak but his eyes showed all the reaction he needed to see.
At this moment, his eyes started to change a bit. Two hooks appeared in both of his eyes as he stared at Menma with anger on his face.
But, Menma didn't stop talking.
"As for the fifth way to increase your strength. It's actually simple. Replace your eyes with your brother's eyes. If you have Mangekyo, it will take your Mangekyo to another level which only one person in history had."
"And, if you don't have one, then it will definitely reach Mangekyo level.
Hearing his words, Naruto finally couldn't bear it and shouted.
"Menma, does it really have to be that cruel?"
Menma sighed and said.
"Didn't I say it before? The final two parts are truly cruel."
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips. Of course, they were cruel.
What kind of method would require you to go through Genjutsu of your loved ones being killed constantly?
What kind of method would require you to kill your brother and replace his eyes with you?
They all rolled their eyes and turned at Sasuke.
At this moment, Sasuke raised his head and stared at Menma.
"If I follow your first three methods, would I be strong enough to kill that man?"
Menma wasn't surprised by his question. He nodded his head and said.
"If you increase your Chakra, if you train your Sharing and reach Three hooks, and then train Sage Mode, then you can defeat him. Of course, that's only if you can perfect Sage Mode and increase your Genjutsu to the level where his Genjutsu can't affect you."
Hearing his words, Sasuke nodded his head with a grateful look. But, suddenly he realized something and frowned.
"Wait, in all these five methods, you never mentioned me training Ninjutsu?"
Menma smiled and said.
"So, you finally realized. Of course, you can train Ninjutsu but I don't think that's necessary for you. Because of your Sharingan and also your talent, you can easily learn Ninjutsu."
"You are just ten years old. So, put your time into those three trainings. Then, finally, start training Ninjutsu."
Sasuke thought for a moment and nodded.
Then, Menma turned his head and stared at Naruto.
"Contrary to Sasuke, you need to train Ninjutsu. Learn various Ninjutsu so that you can utilize your enormous Chakra to do several things. At the same time, put all of your efforts into learning Chakra Control."
"You don't need to focus on Sage Mode right now. Instead, you should focus on contacting that fox."
When he said that, everyone paused and Naruto frowned.
"Why do you want me to contact it?"
"Because his strength is your strength. You die, he dies. He leaves your body, then you die. So, don't break the seal but try to use its Chakra. Of course, don't use too much of its Chakra."
"Also, only try to use it in front of Kakashi Sensei. Don't try it alone. It is full of hatred for humans. I suggest you should make friends with him like Eight-Tails and Killer Bee."
When he said that, Nine Tails inside Naruto roared. Its massive Chakra leaked out of Naruto but because Naruto wasn't angry, it couldn't affect his mind.
"See, I told you before. It is full of hatred for humans. But, don't worry. As long as you don't let negative emotions control you, its Chakra actually helps you."
At the same time, Menma turned his head to Sasuke and said.
"I also hope you can train your Sharingan to the next level. If you succeed, you can help Naruto as well."
Sasuke was surprised at first but he nodded his head quickly.
"Now, let's move on to Sakura. Actually, I will ask my mother to help you. She is a medical Ninjutsu. I won't be at home for the next two years. So, you can try to learn Medical Ninjutsu from my mom."
"I will send a Shadow Clone to the village after a year. If you master everything my mother teaches you, I will take you to Lady Tsunade for further teaching."
"You have extraordinary talent on Chakra Control because of low Chakra. She has a way to increase your strength to a whole new level. At least, you won't be left behind by your friends."
Hearing his suggestion, Sakura smiled and nodded her head. She also bowed and said.
"Thank you so much!"
"It's okay. If you learn Medical Ninjutsu, we don't have to worry about being injured."
Saying so, he turned his eyes toward Ino-Shika-Cho.
"Actually, for Shikamaru and Choji, there aren't many things I can say. With Shikamaru's IQ and Choji's fighting powers, they are perfect but you have to understand that you won't be in the group always."
"So, try to develop ways to fight alone. For Choji, you can focus on Taijutsu. For Shikamaru, you can focus on training your Family Jutsu alongside Taijutsu."
"As for Ino, your family Jutsu is also amazing. You can follow Sakura in learning basic Medical Ninjutsu. Although you might be able to reach her level in Medical Ninjutsu, your Chakra Control will increase a lot if you just follow her for Medical Ninjutsu training."
Hearing his words, Ino-Shika-Cho nodded their heads together. Finally, Menma turned his head at Fuma and Beni.
"Your case is a bit different."
