Immediately after Jugram's explanation, Sasuke started training to master the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', and he mastered it very easily. Being a genius already, Sasuke possessed the main element required to master the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' – a large amount of Chakra, which he had after awakening.

After Sasuke created his first 'Shadow Clone', Jugram expressed appreciation, saying, "Very good, you were able to master the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' easily. This is what I expect from you."

Jugram then continued, "Now, let your Shadow Clone master Chakra control, and you will train in swordsmanship with me."

After saying this, Jugram taught Sasuke how to master the Chakra technique while climbing the tree. After the explanation, Jugram started training Sasuke's main body in swordsmanship. Jugram didn't give Sasuke any ridiculous tasks such as swinging the sword and other such things. He directly began fighting Sasuke, and throughout the battle, he taught Sasuke how to fight properly with swords. After half an hour, the first session of the training came to an end.

"Stop for now and undo the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu'," said Jugram to Sasuke.

Sasuke was already tired after training continuously for half an hour, and when he undid the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', he started panting heavily as he received the fatigue from his 'Shadow Clone'.

"How exactly are you feeling?" asked Jugram.

Sasuke replied wearily, "I'm feeling quite tired, but fortunately, it's not overwhelming. I believe I should be able to recover after resting for half an hour."

"Hmm, very well," nodded Jugram thoughtfully. "Then I suggest you meditate for the next hour. Not only will it alleviate your fatigue, but you should also notice a slight increase in your chakra reserves, albeit marginal."

Following Jugram's instructions, both he and Sasuke settled into a meditative state. An hour passed in serene silence, broken only by the gentle rustling of leaves. Eventually, Jugram rose from his meditation, and Sasuke followed suit, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

"Now, once again, separate your Shadow Clone. It will focus on practicing 'Chakra control,' while you engage in basic swordsmanship with me. However, this time, utilize your Sharingan intermittently during our bouts. Don't overuse it; instead, open your Sharingan for a few minutes and then close it. Repeat this process at regular intervals. I'm advising you this because the use of Sharingan can lead to increased mental fatigue," explained Jugram, ensuring Sasuke understood the instructions. He was adamant about not causing injury to Sasuke for the sake of quick success.

Following Jugram's guidance, the training regimen persisted: half an hour of rigorous training followed by an hour of meditation. This routine persisted until evening, with breaks for lunch interspersed throughout. Sasuke's intermittent use of Sharingan during training sessions notably accelerated his mastery of swordsmanship.

This training and continuous fighting with Jugram were not only beneficial for Sasuke but also for Jugram. Jugram's experience increased by 300 points.

"Okay, let's end today's training here. Tomorrow is the competition and examination, so go and rest. Remember, after completing the graduation examination, come meet me at the 'Ninja Tailor Shop'. Your clothes must be ready by tomorrow. Once you've donned the clothes, we'll head to the competition venue," said Jugram.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately became confused and asked, "Are you planning to make your intentions of forming the 'Sternritter' public?"

Jugram replied, "Yes, I don't see any problem with it. I'm not engaged in anything shady that requires hiding it from everyone. On the contrary, I want the name of the 'Sternritter' and their members to resonate throughout the world. And if I truly intended to conceal the existence of the 'Sternritter', do you think I would have allowed those ninjas who were observing us to live?"

Sasuke nodded in understanding. After awakening, he had acquired extra sensory abilities, enabling him to detect the presence of ninjas monitoring them. If Jugram didn't have any issues, then neither did he. After conversing with Jugram, Sasuke departed for home, and the same was the case for Jugram—he too left for his home.

At the Hokage's office today, the ANBU ninjas not only reported about Naruto but also about Jugram and Sasuke. After hearing that Jugram doesn't want to keep the presence of the 'Sternritter' a mystery, Hiruzen feels that Jugram isn't acting in the best interest of the Fire Country. The exact motive of Jugram remains unknown to Hiruzen, but he believes he will find the answers he needs tomorrow.

The next day at the Ninja Academy:

"Iruka-Sensei, I have urgent work, so could you administer my graduation exam first? I'll make it to the competition venue before it ends," said Sasuke.

Considering Sasuke's reputation as a genius student, Iruka agreed to Sasuke's proposal.

"And one more thing, Jugram won't be able to attend the graduation exam. We'll both come together for the competition," added Sasuke.

Iruka nodded. Whether Jugram took the exams or not, he would pass anyway, so he didn't object.

"Sasuke, do you need any help? I can accompany you," Sakura offered, but Sasuke ignored her and left the class.
