Sasuke stepped into the sterile, dimly lit lab, the soft hum of machinery and the occasional beep of monitors filling the air. Karin, already immersed in her work, glanced up as he approached. Her eyes were filled with both curiosity and concern, a combination that had become all too familiar during their experiments.
Sasuke moved closer to the table where Tsunade lay, surrounded by various machines monitoring her vitals and the progress of the experimental procedures. His expression was unreadable. "How are her vitals?" he asked Karin, without taking his eyes off Tsunade.
"Stable, for now," Karin replied, her voice steady but laced with tension.
Sasuke nodded, his mind already racing ahead to the next steps. Suddenly, Tsunade's eyes snapped open. She gasped, her body arching off the table as the energy within her surged to uncontrollable levels.
Reacting swiftly, Sasuke injected stabilizing agents. The effect was immediate—Sasuke leaned in closer, his Sharingan analyzing the new chakra signatures forming within her.
As the minutes dragged on and Tsunade's breathing returned to normal, Sasuke stepped back, satisfied with the results for now. "You can ask someone to pick a few people from outside. I need them to test some active souls," he instructed.
Karin sighed in relief, then looked at Sasuke. "Are you free now?"
Sasuke nodded. After a final examination, he took Karin's hand, and they left to spend some time together until Sakura arrived with the other girls after their training.
Watching them, Sasuke thought it would be good if they could grow a little faster. Thinking about the other girls in the Harry Potter world, he decided to visit them after the current experiment, taking Hanabi along to spend some time together.
Later that night, while he was preparing to sleep, the system finalized its analysis and began displaying a series of new missions and alerts about the ones he had failed. One by one, the notifications appeared before him.

Several missions were still ongoing. Sasuke casually collected the rewards from the ones he had completed and ignored the failed ones, as they were minor and only rewarded some system points.
Regarding Kaguya, Sasuke was already concerned, as her strength was becoming formidable enough to make him cautious about making her even stronger. As for acquiring more harem members, he decided to spend more time with them, confident that the mission would be completed in a year or two.
He believed that with his long life, sooner or later, his mother and a few clan members would return. As for his father, he decided to ignore him and send him to the reincarnation cycle since he was also partially responsible for the clan's destruction.

[System :: "At the pace you're progressing, when the Otsutsuki eventually make their move, as they did in the original timeline, you'll have the strength to stand against them. By following my missions, you'll build the crushing momentum needed to ensure that none of your loved ones meet an untimely end." ]
["But given your luck, it wouldn't be surprising if, the moment you resurrect your family, some ancient Otsutsuki God appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the world along with them. That's why you need to continue collecting more women; don't be satisfied with your current speed of growth."]

"Having too many women is troublesome. They aren't stamps that I can just store in a locker," Sasuke muttered, recalling the situation in the Harry Potter world where he couldn't improve his relationship with all the girls, there was only 3 girls where he had proper relation with them.

[System Notification : "Isn't it because you spend too much time on training and researching? Even in the morning, you just need to become familiar with your skills. If you need more, buy them from the system. If you need to improve, upgrade using system points. This should solve your time problem. If you still want to give everyone equal time, when you reach the peak of your strength, you could try for omnipresence."]
"At this point, I've already tried to reduce my training. I even maxed out skills like Alchemy and forging with system points," Sasuke pointed out. "But learning a few things on my own always gives me a sense of achievement instead of directly learning from the system."
"You don't have the luxury to train slowly. If Hagoromo Otsutsuki finds a way to interfere in time and kill you when you're born, it would be troublesome."
Thinking about his ability to control time and others who possessed similar abilities, the possibility of someone doing that seemed quite high.
To avoid getting silently eliminated, Sasuke started setting some goals for the next world, one of them being to find a way to improve his physical strength. As someone stuck between the ages of 12 and 17, he couldn't maximize his potential. Going to a world where he could increase his physical without compromising his looks and good work on his new skills.
