Some time later, in the Konohagakure library
"Are you an idiot? You don't even know if Chidori is direct current or alternating current. How have you been using Chidori all these years? Do you just rely on feeling? Are you useless?" Young Sasuke scolded harshly.
His emotions were running high.
"..."
Facing young Sasuke's scolding, adult Sasuke retorted, "What's the use of learning this stuff? Battles depend on actual combat. This basic knowledge has no impact on strength."
"Yeah, yeah!"
Boruto echoed, feeling that this electrical knowledge had nothing to do with strength. Young Sasuke was just scolding them for the sake of it.
"Do you have any idea why your Lightning Release is so weak? And now you're telling me it's useless? How dare you argue with me when you use Lightning Release so poorly!"
Young Sasuke slammed the table and continued to scold, "No wonder you're so weak. You have no real strength or ability, yet you always question others. You're truly useless."
"Then tell me, what's the use of this stuff? Why did you drag us here to read books and do exercises? This isn't training!" Adult Sasuke shouted angrily.
Previously, when young Sasuke scolded him during Senjutsu training, he could endure it because young Sasuke made sense. Although his words were harsh, his Senjutsu teachings were valuable. But now, it was all about doing exercises, and he felt like he was becoming a small-town test-taker.
He believed that a ninja's strength depended on training, and theoretical knowledge was useless. Orochimaru had a lot of knowledge, but his strength wasn't great, proving that knowledge was useless.
Ninjas still rely on their own strength!
"Super Gravity."
Young Sasuke snapped his fingers, and adult Sasuke instantly felt extreme pressure, as if it was going to crush him. The intensity of the pressure reminded him of Kaguya's super gravity space.
Adult Sasuke looked up and saw that young Sasuke's eyes hadn't turned into Thunder God Eyes, and there was no eye power fluctuation. This didn't seem like an eye technique. Was this Lightning Release?
"Knowledge is power!"
Young Sasuke declared firmly.
Adult Sasuke/Boruto: !!!
Training is physical practice, but doing exercises is mental torture. Especially when you can't figure out one aspect, it affects everything, making it harder to understand.
It's driving me crazy!
"Smack!"
Sasuke whipped Boruto and shouted, "Why did your body stop absorbing elemental power? Do you think you can skip training by doing exercises? How dare you slack off! What are you doing?"
Boruto bit his lip, almost crying.
Young Sasuke's training methods were quite devilish. He made adult Sasuke and Boruto turn the absorption of elemental power into an instinct, and then read books and do exercises while converting it into instinct.
If the absorption of elemental power stopped, they got hit!
If their learning progress slowed, they got hit!
In Sasuke's eyes, learning and absorbing elemental power were not conflicting, so both had to be done. This was a double torture of body and mind.
Although the process was painful, since Sasuke started training them, adult Sasuke and Boruto's sleep quality had improved dramatically. They could fall asleep as soon as they lay down, sometimes even without taking off their clothes.
Not only that, but their strength also improved rapidly. Adult Sasuke's mastery of lightning elemental power had reached a new level. However, with his current precision and knowledge, he still couldn't fully utilize electromagnetic power.
As for Boruto...
This guy was purely caught up in it. Although he could use lightning elemental power, he wasn't focused on training in that direction. Normally, just a basic understanding was enough, so young Sasuke laid it out.
"Boruto, the knowledge you have now is sufficient. Do you want to continue learning or leave?" Young Sasuke glanced at adult Sasuke beside him, a slight smile on his lips.
"Ah..."
Boruto, whose brain was buzzing from all the studying, immediately smiled and instinctively wanted to choose to leave.
But soon, a strong hand pressed down on his shoulder. Adult Sasuke, with bloodshot eyes, smiled stiffly and said, "Boruto, this learning opportunity is very precious. We should enjoy it together."
"No, no, no, look at how hard Sasuke is working, teaching two people by himself. We can't trouble him like this," Boruto said.
"If you really don't want to learn, then I'll have a good talk with your mom. By then, hehe, hehe," adult Sasuke's smile became increasingly sinister.
"Ahaha, you're joking, uh, it's a bit cold, don't frame me," Boruto said with a twitching mouth and an ugly expression.
"Hehe."
"Hehe."
Both Sasukes were laughing. Young Sasuke was genuinely happy, smiling with his eyes. Adult Sasuke's smile was stiff and forced, as if he wanted to drag someone down with him.
"Well, okay, I'll learn, I'll learn."
Tears gradually welled up in Boruto's eyes. He wiped them away and said, "Learning is such a beautiful thing, improving both strength and knowledge. It's so wonderful."
"Let's learn together."
"Uncle Sasuke, you have to take the lead. How can I learn if you don't set a good example? After all, I'm just a kid!"
"That makes sense."
Young Sasuke nodded.
"You tricked me."
Adult Sasuke's smile gradually disappeared.
Boruto smiled but didn't say anything. His silent smile seemed to say: Learning, right? Everyone wants to live, my goal is achieved!
"Sigh, I misunderstood you. It seems you both really love learning. I'm so touched. Here, I'll give you two sets of papers for free to test your learning progress over the past two days. Based on the results, we'll allocate the next learning tasks," young Sasuke said with a smile.
"When is the test?"
Boruto asked, his voice trembling.
"When? Right now!"
Young Sasuke quickly took out two scrolls and handed them to adult Sasuke and Boruto.
They were a bit confused, looking at the scrolls in their hands, not quite understanding what was going on.
"You didn't think two sets of papers meant just two sheets, did you? How can such a small amount test your true level? If we're going to learn, we need to learn comprehensively. One scroll per person is just right," young Sasuke said with a smile.
