Sasuke appeared resolute in his ambition to pilfer the Sealing Techniques.
Bai, however, bore an inkling of apprehension, sensing the potential pitfalls of Sasuke's course of action.
Dealing with Anbu operatives might be manageable, but tangling with Konoha's Hokage was an altogether different prospect—a venture that bordered on suicidal.
"I didn't expect you to be so efficient. You seem well-suited for intelligence gathering tasks," Sasuke remarked.
At this juncture, Bai appeared contemplative.
"Do you truly need to steal the sealed book?" he inquired abruptly.
Though bewildered by the sudden query, Sasuke affirmed his intent.
"Indeed, I am resolute in acquiring the sealed book."
Bai sighed softly, "In that case, I will accompany you."
Quick to dispel misunderstandings, he added, "I'm merely concerned about your well-being."
Sasuke, momentarily taken aback, eventually smiled.
"Let's proceed, then!"
Venture forth? But to where?
Sasuke responded with a grin, "While I am resolved to pilfer the sealed book, the timing isn't ripe yet."
"When, then?" Bai inquired.
"The Chūnin Exam!"
The Chūnin Exam? After a moment's contemplation, the prospects appeared significantly more favorable.
During Konoha's Chūnin Exam, the sentries are likely to be comparatively lax.
This substantially augments the odds of success.
"Two days until the Chūnin Exam!"
"I will inform you when the time is right."
"Meanwhile, remain concealed and avoid detection by Konoha's Anbu operatives."
Bai nodded and seemed on the cusp of conveying something to Sasuke, yet ultimately held his tongue.
Following Bai's departure, Sasuke prepared to rest. However, mindful of the time, he realized there were errands to attend to.
Upon his return from the most recent mission, Sasuke had commissioned a selection of training equipment.
Alongside his physical regimen, an alloy katana sword was among the acquisitions.
Despite lacking the Kusanagi sword, an alloy blade sufficed—a fitting accompaniment for Hatake sword techniques.
Sasuke had expended the entirety of his reward for the A-level mission to secure these items.
Navigating Konoha's streets, he sought out the emporium specializing in ninja accoutrements.
With the final payment remitted, Sasuke lugged the assortment of equipment home.
Among the acquisitions was a fresh alloy ninja sword.
Given Sasuke's stature, he had opted for a slightly shorter variant, tailored to his proportions.
The standard-length sword felt like a child wielding an adult's implement—utterly incongruous.
Returning with the gear, the Chūnin Exam loomed closer.
Thus, Sasuke elected to suspend other training endeavors.
Intensive Chakra refinement became the focus, intertwined with intermittent physical conditioning.
The acquired equipment facilitated this aspect of his regimen.
As for weighted training, Sasuke perceived it as inconsequential, considering the bestowed superior physique.
Sasuke dedicated himself to Chakra refinement for several rounds, each lasting approximately six hours.
The arduous practice bolstered his Chakra reserves.
Subsequently, Sasuke shifted to strength training.
Initiating the routine, he grappled with the specialized barbells.
Though initially taxing, Sasuke observed an evident increase in strength after a few sets.
Muscles ignited akin to flames.
An unexpected growl emanated from his stomach.
Sasuke offered a wry smile, acknowledging the need for robust sustenance.
Fortunately, ample provisions were on hand.
Following a hasty repast of milk, bread, and eggs, Sasuke resumed his physical training.
The more he exerted himself, the more pronounced the transformations within his physique.
Muscles pulsed with vitality, a gratifying yet tingling sensation permeating his frame.
This tangible metamorphosis invigorated Sasuke's commitment.
After a day of intense training, Sasuke approximated Xiao Li's level of physical fitness.
Coupled with his mastery of Lightning Style and exceptional taijutsu and sword skills, an ordinary Jōnin could be dispatched with ease.
However, physical exertion has its limits.
Sasuke, now fatigued, engaged in a Chakra refinement session.
Exhausted, he ensconced himself in meditation, embracing the ensuing mental challenge.
Desperation fueled the endeavor, eliciting an ascendant Chakra enhancement.
Subsequently, Sasuke embarked on a second round of extreme Chakra refinement.
To his astonishment, this session nearly doubled his Chakra reserves.
A newfound realization dawned upon Sasuke.
"Pushing the body to its limits and then refining Chakra yields remarkable results!"
This discovery imbued Sasuke with a sense of epiphany.
With resolve ignited, Sasuke entered the second phase of exhaustive training.
