Forbidden Jutsu Training, Following the Light!

Half an hour later, on a large rock.

Uchiha Ci memorized everything from the scroll.

Without hesitation, he formed hand seals and spat out a Great Fireball, incinerating the scroll on the spot.

Then, he struck a pose and sat down cross-legged.

Closing his eyes, he gradually focused all his attention on his breathing. With each inhale and exhale, the whistling of the early spring cold wind faded into silence.

Gradually, the sound of his heart beating, thump by thump, became like thunder.

A full moon floated behind him, and the wilderness stretched to the horizon.

Under the pale, cold moonlight, Uchiha Ci's eyes snapped open.

Within his crimson eyes, the black tomoe slowly spun. Everything before him seemed to be put on a slow-motion button.

He stared intently at his chest.

Under the vision of his Sharingan, a wisp of Fire Release chakra, having undergone a nature transformation, ignited from his heart!

The blazing flame flowed through his entire body in an instant, making Uchiha Ci feel as if he had returned to the moment he confronted the three from Kumogakure.

The moment the exploding tags detonated in a blaze, and the tongues of fire burned his body and mind.

Unlike then, this time, the surging power was entirely contained within his body, like an extremely compressed depleted uranium bomb, about to erupt into a mushroom cloud at any moment.

Sizzle, sizzle--

His body, scorched by the intense heat, suddenly emitted a sizzling, oily sound.

A sharp pain, as if his heart had been violently gripped, suddenly appeared!

Uchiha Ci's pupils constricted, and he immediately stopped the chakra supply.

A line of subtitles appeared before his eyes in a timely manner.

[You have mastered Fire Release: Chakra Mode (Beginner, A, Extreme Danger)]

Hiss--

Surging steam rose from Uchiha Ci's entire body.

He couldn't help but gasp for air, a sense of lingering fear washing over him.

If he hadn't mastered Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna's mastered-level Silk Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu, giving him a high level of control over his body, and instantly realized something was wrong, stopping it in time.

By now, he would have been dead.

And dying like that would only be considered suicide.

"As expected, it's very dangerous, and this process is irreversible. Once completely ignited, the chakra will burn the chakra, causing a chain reaction similar to a nuclear explosion. If that happens, there will be no turning back."

Uchiha Ci felt a lingering fear. After the heart-wrenching pain subsided, he exhaled a long, condensed breath of white qi and pushed himself to his feet.

With a thought, he opened his status panel.

[Employee: Uchiha Ci]
[Title: Heavenly Strong Man.]
[Talent: Heart of Steel (SSS), Sharingan (Single Tomoe, B+), Combat Intuition (Beginner, S).]
[Skills: Uchiha Style - Silk Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu (Mastered, S), Super · Death Match Barrier (Proficient, S), Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (Beginner, C), Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique (Skilled, C), Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Flower Claw Red (Proficient, B), Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique (Beginner, C), Wind Release: Void Severing Wave (Proficient, B), Three Body Techniques, Rope Escape Technique, Basic Body Techniques (Skilled).]
[Special Skill: Fire Release: Chakra Mode (Beginner, A, Extreme Danger)]
[Heart of Steel stacks applied (Expandable)]
[Insurance Status: Paid.]

Looking at the line "Fire Release: Chakra Mode" fixed on his panel, Uchiha Ci's suspended heart finally settled.

Besides this core forbidden jutsu, the scroll also contained a sword technique called Sun Halo Dance, which seemed to require a weapon crafted from chakra metal.

On its own, this sword technique was only a B-rank sword technique. However, when combined with the Sharingan, genjutsu, chakra metal ninjato, and Fire Release: Chakra Mode, it could form the ultimate S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu Sword Ougi.

In the original work, Shisui Uchiha mastered this sword technique. However, perhaps because Uchiha Setsuna had already died by then, Shisui ultimately did not master the core Fire Release: Chakra Mode.

But for Shisui, who could pilot a Gundam, this didn't have much of an impact.

Uchiha Ci tilted his head slightly, gazing up at the full moon in the sky.

He took a deep breath, his gaze becoming resolute.

Since he had made all the preparations, all that was left was to set off for the Evil God Cult Headquarters and cause a huge disturbance!

But--

Just then, "You plan on going alone like this?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, laced with questioning and anger—

"You want to say pretty words and then rush off to die alone?"

"Uchiha Ci, who exactly is running away?"

"Do you want your ideals to stop in this remote corner of the Land of Hot Water?!"

"Huh?! Answer me!"

Uchiha Ci's head snapped around.

He immediately saw a tender fist smashing fiercely towards his face!

His combat intuition, ingrained in his body, made him instinctively dodge his head, evading the blow.

Then he saw Hidan's angry face behind the fist.

His eyes went unfocused for a moment, and his guard dropped.

Hidan seized this opportunity, leaping up and grabbing the bandage at the front of Uchiha Ci's neck with both hands, slamming him hard against a nearby boulder.

CRASH!

His back hit the boulder with a dull thud.

Hidan's eyes were red, and he furiously cursed:

"Bastard, talk to this master!"

"You..." Uchiha Ci was taken aback.

He had absolutely no idea that after telling Hidan to go home and be a shut-in, the little brother hadn't listened at all and had chased after him in less than an hour.

And he was acting like he was going to beat up his big brother.

"What 'you'? This master is really annoying!"

"You've really had enough! Uchiha Ci!"

"Without this master leading the way, would you even be able to find the Evil God Cult Headquarters?"

At Hidan's reminder, Uchiha Ci was somewhat dumbfounded.

He immediately thought of a serious problem.

Right, Where was the Evil God Cult Headquarters?

Uchiha Ci frowned, his body stiffened, and he lifted Hidan with one hand, placing him in the position a little brother should be in. He then put on a cold face and reprimanded:

"Stop fooling around, Hidan!"

"Even without you, I could just capture an Evil God Cult member and interrogate them fiercely to find out the location of their headquarters."

With that, Uchiha Ci shook his head and spoke righteously:

"However, it's good that you came."

"You just need to tell me the location of the Evil God Cult Headquarters, and your mission will be complete."

"I'll reluctantly count you in for the merit of eradicating the Evil God Cult."

"This way, when you return home, you can brag to the Yugakure Ninja that you once fought alongside the ruler of the world, Lord Uchiha Ci."

"How about it, don't you feel like you've hit the jackpot?"

Hidan looked at the righteous Uchiha Ci and couldn't help but blink, his eyes filled with shock, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

How could anyone in this world be so shameless!

If you don't know, you don't know. You actually want to trick him like a child to get intelligence from him?

Where did the image of the good big brother who guided him an hour ago go?

Give me back the feeling you gave me!

"You bastard!" Hidan gritted his teeth, forcefully pulled his hand away from Uchiha Ci, and snorted indignantly, turning his head and stubbornly saying:

"I'm going with you!"

"Tsk." Uchiha Ci felt a headache coming on. "Kid, why don't you listen to advice?"

At this moment, he understood how Uchiha Setsuna felt when he didn't let him take missions back then.

Ahead lay a sure path of blades and fire, And this kid in front of him had no insurance, why was he rushing to show off?

Hidan shook his head, his face full of determination, and said:

"I must go with you!"

"Uchiha Ci, I want to watch you, I must see with my own eyes,"

"Do you, or do you not, have the qualifications—"

"To become this Master's Evil God!"

Hidan took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.

The light Uchiha Ci had shattered seemed to blaze anew in his eyes!

"Isn't that what you said?"

"All this Master wants is the Evil God this Master needs!"

"Whether it's you, or that guy from the Evil God Cult, it doesn't matter!"

" This Master wants to end the chaos in the Land of Hot Water, drive out all the great nation ninja from this land, and become the next 'Demigod' in the ninja world!"

"This is this Master's Ninjutsu Path!"

Hidan suddenly fell silent, looking at Uchiha Ci with bright eyes.

"Then, for starters, let's eliminate this tumor, the Evil God Cult!"

Uchiha Ci took a deep breath and looked at Hidan, falling silent for a moment. Although a tiny, insignificant warmth rose in his heart at that moment.

But reason told him that if Hidan went to the Evil God Cult Headquarters, history would likely repeat itself.

Perhaps even worse.

And just as he was about to refuse Hidan, A voice as pleasant as a silver bell suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Then keep up, Hidan."

"I'll accept for him!"

Uchiha Ci froze abruptly and turned his head.

He saw—

A maiden with Azure Clear eyes stood with her arms crossed, her figure tall and slender.

She stood in the clear glow of the Moonlight, her smile as she faintly curved her lips like a flower blooming in Spring.

Then, she slowly opened her cherry lips and spoke:

"Also, I'm going too."
