Back in the house, Karin was already dressed and sitting on the sofa reading manga, looking annoyed.

This manga was bought by Zoro at Sasuke's request in their world; it tells the story of a peaceful hero battling the Germa family.

Seeing Sasuke return, Karin said quietly, "We've almost used up all the stuff we bought last time. Should we go to Konoha again?"

"Huh? It's gone again so quickly?" Sasuke asked with a surprised expression.

"Someone tore up two pairs of glasses a day. No matter how many you buy, it won't last this long..." Karin said, her face slightly flushed, as she pushed up her glasses. The glasses she was wearing now were non-prescription glasses; she had simply gotten used to wearing them and decided to continue wearing non-prescription ones.

Sasuke scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "Then let's go to Konoha again in a couple of days. Sigh, running around all the time is such a hassle..."

Speaking of which, Sasuke started to miss the convenience of express delivery!

Sitting next to Karin, gently stroking her red hair, Sasuke muttered to himself, "Perhaps I should start a delivery company?"

Hearing Sasuke's voice, Karin asked with some confusion, "What is a courier company?"

"It's basically food delivery, or you could think of it as an escort mission. It's a pity that transportation isn't developed enough these days, otherwise we could really consider doing it," Sasuke said with some regret.

"Oh~" Karin nodded as if she understood, and then stopped thinking about things she couldn't understand.

On the other side, it took Jugo an hour to finally reach the foot of the Hashirama statue. Looking up, the statue was at least a hundred meters high. Even a regular Chunin would have difficulty climbing it with one hand, let alone Jugo, whose physical abilities were now those of an ordinary person.

The journey from Sasuke's house to here had taken a toll on his strength, and he was now sitting on the ground, panting.

"So ordinary people's physical fitness is this weak? I'm already tired after walking just this short distance, and not even very fast." Jugo thought to himself, "Sasuke-kun's purpose in making me climb this statue must be to temper my will, right? Orochimaru-sama said before that to control my power, one must either have strong mental strength or unwavering will. It seems that Sasuke-kun wants me to temper the latter."

Jugo had almost figured out what Sasuke meant. The reason he went berserk after entering Sage Mode was because he couldn't control his violent will every time.

"But can this method really help me control myself?" Jugo didn't really believe he could control himself.

Shaking his head, Jugo got up and prepared to start climbing.

Regardless of whether he could control himself, he had to climb the statue because it was a task Sasuke had given him!

Chapter 30 Let's Dance, Jugo!

A week later.

Sasuke got up in the morning without waking Karin. After getting dressed, he used Kamui to go to the forest to check on Jugo. When he arrived, Sasuke found that Jugo had only suffered minor superficial injuries and was otherwise unharmed.

Seeing Sasuke approach, Jugo stopped his rock climbing and stood in front of Sasuke.

"Not bad, quite sturdy!" Sasuke said. "Do you still remember how you idolized Kimimaro?"

Jugo was taken aback by Sasuke's question. He would never forget something like this in his entire life!

“I envy him; he found his own value,” Jugo said softly. “Actually, after Kimimaro’s death, I should have fulfilled his request and given my life to you, but…”

Sasuke didn't say the last words, but he knew that Jugo was unwilling to protect him, a child.

Four years ago, Sasuke was still very weak and couldn't subdue Jugo at all. Later, when he became stronger, he didn't go looking for Jugo. Instead, he took Karin and went directly to Itachi Uchiha.

Jugo, having been imprisoned by Orochimaru on a secluded island, was completely unaware of the changing times in the outside world. His understanding of Sasuke was stuck in an ancient version, believing that Sasuke was at most similar to Kimimaro, or perhaps even inferior!

Sasuke laughed and said, "Let's have a fight."

"Huh?" Jugo looked at Sasuke in confusion.

"Don't doubt it. I surpassed Kimimaro two years ago, and my current strength is beyond your comprehension." Sasuke stepped onto the water and said, "You only have one chance to attack, so you'd better go all out."

Sasuke didn't know Jugo's specific situation before, so he let him come here to train first. Now a week has passed, and although Jugo didn't climb onto Hashirama's head, he didn't have any major injuries, which shows that Jugo is not a stupid person.

Sasuke felt it was time to help Jugo overcome his isolation and truly find the meaning of his existence!

As Sasuke finished speaking, Jugo finally felt the flow of chakra within his body once again. At the same time, the surrounding natural energy began to surge violently, rushing into Jugo's body!

"Ahhh!"

As natural energy flowed in, Jugo's body also changed; his skin darkened, and his body became strange!

"This is the true Sage Body. The passive ability is the same as Hashirama's. It's a pity you haven't awakened your bloodline limit, so you can only use this power crudely. Otherwise, your strength should surpass the Five Kage," Sasuke said calmly.

"kill!!"

Having absorbed natural energy, Jugo has completely lost his reason, or rather, his ego is now extremely inflated! His immense power makes him feel invincible, and even an earthworm passing by would get slapped by him!

Sasuke has the most experience with Jugo's current situation!

After gaining great power, he will become arrogant. At this point, all you need to do is have someone even stronger come and knock him out of his wits!

"bring it on!"

boom! !

Jugo, now in Sage Mode, instantly erupted! His black fist, larger than Sasuke's head, hurtled straight at Sasuke!

Sasuke shifted his body slightly, dodging Jugo's fist with a sidestep, and then raised his leg, his knee landing directly on Jugo's abdomen!

"Uh~!"

Jugo spat out a mouthful of acid, his body flying backward uncontrollably, crashing into Hashirama's foot.

boom! !

A cloud of dust swept in, and Jugo, now even larger, reappeared before Sasuke!

"die!!"

Sasuke remained expressionless, grabbed Jugo's fist with one hand, spun around, and used the momentum to make Jugo lose his balance and fly away!

Bang bang bang! !

Jugo skipped across the water several times before finally standing still. He raised his head, his golden eyes, filled with murderous intent, fixed on Sasuke!

"Again!" Sasuke chuckled. It's nice to get some exercise now and then, but unfortunately Jugo's strength is still too weak; he's barely a Jonin, far from Sasuke's expectations.

Upon hearing Sasuke's provocation, Jugo, who was already lacking in rationality, went even crazier, roared, and his body began to change again!

Six jet holes grew on its back, and jet holes of different sizes also appeared at the joints of its limbs!

"Oh? So he used it all to boost his strength and speed?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow, surprised by Jugo's strange change!

"Ahhh!"

boom!

Jugo launched another attack! Chakra surged from every jet of air all over his body, and the resulting propulsion boosted his speed by more than one level!

If Jugo's speed was only at the Jonin level before, it has now reached the Kage level!

boom!

A blur of motion flashed past, but Sasuke used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the attack! "Is that all? How disappointing."

Even while moving, Sasuke didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks, increasing Jugo's anger level!

Jugo did not disappoint Sasuke. Every time he was provoked, Jugo's chakra would become even larger and more violent!

However, even though Jugo had reached the level of a Kage, Sasuke still treated him with nonchalance and even dared to provoke him!

"What's wrong? Is this your limit? That's truly disappointing. I didn't expect that the bodyguard Kimimaro left me was only this capable!"

"Oh? Your aura is a little stronger than before? But that's all. If I were in a fit of anger, I could kill you instantly!"

"Your form has changed again? Unfortunately, your fists are still not hard enough, and your speed is not fast enough. From the beginning until now, you haven't even touched the hem of my clothes. As expected, Orochimaru has no choice but to give up on you. After all, no one wants to keep a piece of trash around for nothing."

Sasuke's words drove Jugo mad! With a roar to the sky, Jugo began to actively absorb the surrounding natural energy!

At the same time, Jugo's body is gradually getting bigger!

Jugo, who was already two meters tall, had grown to almost three meters in his previous transformations. This transformation was even more dramatic, turning him from a three-meter-tall man into a giant over ten meters tall. The enormous figure appeared directly in front of Sasuke, raised his arm, and countless natural energies converged on his right arm!

"Kill you! I must kill you!!"

boom! ! !

His right arm gradually thickened, and several jet vents appeared on it, spewing out chakra as if it were free! The resulting airflow carved cracks into the mountain behind him!

"Looks like this is your limit. Not bad, with this strength, taking on the Raikage one-on-one wouldn't be a problem," Sasuke muttered to himself. Even after Jugo's size increased, his speed didn't decrease. After all, he had so many jet vents, and his chakra was directly absorbed from natural energy, so he didn't run out of chakra and could maintain a high burst of power.

The Raikage is considered the strongest of the Five Kage. Jugo's strength is roughly the same as his, which means he has reached the peak of an ordinary person's strength!

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar erupted, and a massive fist slammed down!

Chapter 31 Should we make him a veterinarian?

Facing Jugo's attack at the peak of Kage level, Sasuke neither dodged nor evaded, but calmly raised his hand to block in front of him!

boom! !

The water exploded, and the originally calm surface of the water was pressed down several meters by Jugo's punch!

But Sasuke's figure was like an unchanging mountain, not moving an inch! He steadily caught Jugo's full-force attack with just one hand!

"It's time to finish."

With a slight effort, Sasuke deflected Jugo's fist, his six-tomoe Rinnegan eyes calmly fixed on Jugo. He said, "You should be awake by now, right?"

Jugo paused for a moment, his eyes darting left and right with a sharp look. The attack had consumed a lot of his chakra, so his rationality had returned somewhat.

"It seems so." A purple skeleton appeared on Sasuke's body, and the next second, a hundred-meter-tall Susanoo appeared in front of Jugo.

The overwhelming figure enveloped Chongwu, whose eyes were glazed over and whose mind was blank. For a moment, he couldn't understand what this thing was.

Under Sasuke's control, Susanoo held Jugo in one hand and placed it in front of itself: "Do you see this? This is the gap between us, an insurmountable gap."

Jugo stared blankly at Sasuke, too shocked to speak.

Sasuke casually tossed Jugo aside, dispelled his Susanoo, and landed on the ground, saying, "Do you understand now? Although your power is strong, there are many people in this world who are stronger than you. I can master the power of Susanoo, and you can definitely master your own power too."

Jugo nodded silently. After calming down, the natural energy in his body began to dissipate, and his body returned to its original size.

Despite being beaten up by Sasuke, Jugo didn't come away empty-handed. At least now, when he's absorbing less natural energy, he can control his power.

Unlike before, when absorbing even a tiny bit of natural energy would send me into a berserk state.

Sasuke let Jugo live next to his house, but of course, Jugo had to build the house himself.

In the yard, Karin looked at Jugo next door and asked worriedly, "Sasuke-kun, are you sure this guy won't suddenly go crazy and come over to tear our house down?"

"Don't worry, Jugo can already control his power."

Before he could finish speaking, an explosion came from next door.

Jugo punched a large tree to pieces and is now controlling his emotions with a ferocious expression.
