Chapter: The Month of Training – Mastering New Techniques
After the Chunin Exams Preliminaries, Team 7 was given a month to train for the final stage. For Naruto and Sasuke, this was the opportunity of a lifetime—though their paths were vastly different.

Sasuke's Training: Chidori and the Mines
Kakashi Hatake leaned against a tree at Training Ground 7, his usual nonchalant demeanor present as he explained the basics of the Chidori to Sasuke.
"This technique isn't just about speed, Sasuke," Kakashi said. "It's about precision and the ability to perceive your opponent's movements. Without the Sharingan, this move is incomplete."
Sasuke listened intently, his Sharingan active. "Got it. How long will it take to master?"
Kakashi's single eye curved into a smile. "Depends. Let's see how you do."
The next few days were grueling. Sasuke focused on channeling chakra into his palm, molding it into the shape of lightning.
"Concentrate, Sasuke," Kakashi instructed. "If you mess this up, you might end up frying yourself."
By the fifth day, Sasuke's palm crackled with electricity. The first successful Chidori lit up the training field, carving a trench into the earth as Sasuke thrust forward.
DING!

When Sasuke wasn't training Chidori, he spent his evenings exploring caves. Using the Efficiency II Iron Pickaxe he had salvaged from the Mineshaft, he delved deep into the earth, uncovering treasures and dangers alike.
One night, while exploring a particularly vast cave system, he encountered a horde of mobs: skeletons, zombies, and a lone creeper lurking in the shadows.
Battle Start:
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, dodging arrows from skeletons with precise movements. He lunged forward, slashing with his Iron Sword.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
The cave lit up as flames incinerated a group of zombies.
DING!
> +100 EXP
Level Up! You are now Level 25.
After clearing the cave, Sasuke mined diligently, collecting iron, coal, and even a few emeralds. Finally, he found enough materials to craft an anvil back in his hideout.
Placing the anvil with a satisfying clang, Sasuke opened his inventory and retrieved the enchanted books he had salvaged before.
Enchantments Applied:
Iron Sword: Sharpness II
Iron Boots: Feather Falling I
Iron Pickaxe: Unbreaking I
"Finally," Sasuke muttered. His tools gleamed, ready for the next challenge.
DING!
> [New Achievement: Master of Tools]
Reward: Water Bucket
The system provided a new item—a simple Water Bucket. At first, Sasuke was confused about its significance.
"Why would I need this?" he asked.
The system responded with a screen displaying gameplay footage of Dream performing a Water Bucket Clutch from extreme heights.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "So, it's for survival…"
Hours of practice followed. Sasuke climbed high cliffs, jumped off, and failed repeatedly before finally mastering the clutch technique.
DING!

Naruto and Jiraiya: Summoning Jutsu and Shenanigans
Meanwhile, Naruto was dragged away by the eccentric Jiraiya.
"Listen, kid," Jiraiya began, "if you want to stand a chance in the finals, you need a trump card. I'll teach you the Summoning Jutsu."
Naruto blinked. "Summoning? Like summoning ramen?"
Jiraiya facepalmed. "No, you idiot. Like summoning a toad. A massive one."
The training was chaotic. Naruto struggled to focus, often summoning small, pathetic toads that sat on his head.
"This is useless!" Naruto complained.
"You're useless!" Jiraiya shot back.
On one occasion, Jiraiya tried motivating Naruto by taking him to a hot spring.
"Why are we here?" Naruto asked.
"To learn about strategy," Jiraiya said, peeking through a crack in the women's bathhouse wall.
"Oi, pervy sage! That's not training!" Naruto shouted, but curiosity got the better of him, and he peeked too.
Before they knew it, the women inside noticed.
"YOU PERVERTS!"
A flurry of kunai and buckets came flying, forcing Naruto and Jiraiya to flee.
---
Back at the training ground, Jiraiya scolded Naruto. "You're hopeless. Focus, or you'll never summon Gamabunta!"
Finally, after weeks of effort and consuming an ungodly amount of chakra, Naruto managed to summon a massive toad.
Gamabunta glared down at him. "Who the hell are you, brat?"
Naruto grinned triumphantly. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!"

The Final Week: Sasuke's New Battle Strategy
With only a week left, Sasuke focused on integrating the system into his combat style. Using blocks from his inventory, he practiced creating instant barriers during battles.
Kakashi watched as Sasuke fought imaginary opponents, conjuring walls of cobblestone to block attacks and using dirt blocks to gain elevation for strategic advantage.
"Interesting…" Kakashi muttered. "You're becoming quite resourceful."
Sasuke smirked. "I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
He also perfected his Water Bucket Clutch during sparring sessions with Kakashi, impressing even the aloof sensei.

The Final Day
The month passed quickly. As Sasuke stood on a cliff overlooking Konoha, the moonlight reflected off his iron armor.
"Tomorrow," he thought, "I'll show them what I'm capable of."
With his enchanted tools, Chidori, and new strategies, Sasuke was ready for the Chunin Exam Finals.
DING!
> [Quest Completed: A Month of Training]
Reward: +500 EXP
The next chapter of Sasuke Uchiha's journey was about to begin.
