In the dead of night, at the watered of Karasu river, stands a figure in the dark. The air grew heavy, static with latent energy as Sasuke focused his will.
His hands began to move, a blur of intricate, practiced motions—a swift, fluid sequence of Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, and finally, Tiger. Each sign was precise, a physical manifestation of his internal focus as he diligently kneaded his chakra, converting the raw spiritual and physical energy within his body into the volatile nature of fire.
"Fire style great fireball jutsu!"
A deep, controlled inhale drew the air into his lungs, and a slight pressure built in his chest as the converted, fire-aspected chakra gathered. His palms came together, fingers forming a ring before his mouth, a final, crucial point of convergence. The tension in the air was palpable, the surrounding environment seeming to hold its breath in anticipation.
With a guttural roar, Sasuke expelled the concentrated energy. A torrent of superheated air rushed from his lips, instantly igniting as it met the atmosphere. It wasn't a mere stream, but a massive, sustained orb of roaring, violet-orange flame that ballooned outwards, its sheer size determined by the immense volume of chakra he committed to the technique.
The sound was deafening—a deep, resonant whoosh that quickly intensified into a fierce, crackling thunder as the immense fireball surged forward. The heat radiating from it was intense, scorching the very air and causing the surrounding foliage to wilt and brown in an instant. The light was blinding, casting long, dancing shadows and turning the area a vivid, hellish orange.
The fireball maintained its perfect, spherical shape as it flew, a miniature sun of destruction aimed at the water. Upon impact, the effect was cataclysmic. The large shpere of flames reached the water and instead of the fire being extinguished, the opposite occurred. The water of the Karasu was vapor. A cloud of steam appearing above the river.
The sheer power of the release hung in the air for a moment longer, a testament to the mastery of the Uchiha clan's signature ability.
"Ah ah ah"
After dispelling the jutsu, Sasuke hunched over with his hands on his knees breathing heavy. Sweat dripping from his body. A showcase of his hard work and determination.

After regaining some energy, I jogged my way home. Since I turn the Karasu river into a hot springs.
It's been two weeks since my first of school. After becoming friends with Ichigo and the guys, we've been hanging every now then after school. Going to karaoke, the arcade or finding some place to eat. I started creating real bonds with them and seeing them then just characters and actually as friends.
[Ding! Skill level up! Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu (Mastery: Beginner —> Intermediate)]
"Looks like my training payed off," I said while turning the corner.
[Ding! Chakra Reserve Increase:2×]
"What the hell!" astonished by my chakra increase, I stopped jogging. With a sudden feel of increased stamina. I started feeling less fatigued and more energised.
With my increase in chakra a started running home, a large smile portrayed on my face.
Enter my house, I took of my shoes and placed them to the side. I went the bathroom to take a shower as my clothes were soaked in sweat.
After my shower and eating something I went to my room and sat on my bed. Rukia should be arriving this week or the week after. Which, not gonna lie, made me excited as she was my favourite. And she was my anime crush.
On a more serious note, after unlocking my first achievement the system has been quiet, as usual. So hopefully when the plot starts it starts making some noise.
These two weeks I've been training my fire Style just every night. And tonight was the biggest fireball I've created.
Two weeks, not to shabby. Sasuke took one and he was like, 6? Man, I can't even do better then an elementary schooled.
Anyways, I've even been trying to unlocked my lighting chakra nature with no avail. I even tried mimicking the feeling I got when creating fire, which obviously didn't work.
Side note I've been wondering, how am I able to see spirits? Is it just the ability of the system so I can interact with the plot or is it something else, because I've been some kind energy throughout my body, but it isn't my chakra.
I'll have to figure this out, cause I don't want some random shit flowing through me.
Completely gathering my thoughts in layed my head down on my pillow and went to bed.
