Flame Release

After more than a month of transformation, Ogura Saki's bloodline fusion finally ended. Looking at the little girl who seemed to have been reborn, Yichen was also happy for her.

Ogura Saki made great progress this time, not only completing the development of her bloodline limit but also advancing to the next level. The Ninja Way she had adhered to for many years was finally realized, proving that the path she had followed was indeed the right one. This made Ogura Saki an Elite Jonin in one fell swoop.

Sensing the changes in her body, Ogura Saki began experimenting with her Kekkei Genkai.

Standing opposite Ogura Saki, Yichen first used an Earth Release, and then Ogura Saki countered Yichen's Earth Release with a Bloodline Ninjutsu.

"Flame Release - Wind Release: Breakthrough." This is a Ninjutsu similar to Wind Release: Breakthrough.

However, after Ogura Saki used her Kekkei Genkai Flame Release Chakra to unleash it, the effect was completely different from before.

Originally, Wind Release: Breakthrough was a powerful C-rank Ninjutsu Ninjutsu that could break through Earth Release defenses, but once it broke through Earth Release, it lost much of its power.

But Flame Release is different. When Flame Release hits Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, it doesn't attack like Wind Release. Instead, it begins to devour the Chakra in Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall. The Chakra in Earth Release: Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall is stripped of its Flame Release and ignited, then becomes the nourishment for Flame Release to grow stronger.

The Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall quickly disintegrated due to the loss of Chakra, and the Flame Release that had been blocked by the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall not only did not weaken but became stronger.

Everyone who came to watch the battle, including Yichen and Ōnoki, was astonished by what they saw.

This bloodline is extraordinary.

This is far more powerful than Storm Release, a bloodline limit. If we disregard the fact that Porcelain Release can be used in conjunction with Sealing Jutsu, Porcelain Release is utterly useless against Flame Release.

"Great, excellent! Flame Release has great potential. If developed properly, its effects might even surpass Explosion Release."

The power of Explosion Release lies in its explosion, but explosions can be blocked. Unless it reaches the level of Deidara in the original work, which can destroy a large area, Explosion Release is really not very useful.

However, Flame Release is different. From the beginning, Flame Release has the ability to absorb the Chakra of other people's Ninjutsu to strengthen itself, which can be considered an unstoppable type of bloodline limit in a certain sense.

This will be a bloodline ability that is powerful from the early game to the late game.

Even Yichen couldn't help but sigh, "If only my first bloodline limit was Flame Release."

Before mastering Light Release and Senjutsu, Yichen lacked powerful offensive Ninjutsu. If Yichen had replaced his Porcelain Release with Flame Release back then, Yichen wouldn't have been forced into a war of attrition against strong opponents.

"Saki, focus on developing your Flame Release. Try controlling the direction of the flames' attack. If you can control the flames at will, the Flame Release's effectiveness will be further enhanced." Yichen suggested to Ogura Saki the direction for future research on Flame Release.

Because Ogura Saki had developed the Wind Style: Wind Tornado series of Ninjutsu very early on, and Wind Style: Wind Tornado is a type of control Ninjutsu, Yichen suggested that Ogura Saki develop in this direction.

Ogura Saki nodded. She was very excited. The purpose of developing Flame Release was to change her physique and raise the upper limit of her physical and mental abilities. However, the unexpected power of Flame Release directly raised her combat power to a new level, which was something she hadn't expected.

The double joy made Ogura Saki extremely excited.

Yichen was also pleased, not only for his disciple's achievements, but also for his future development direction of dual Fenghuo attributes.

Yichen was very clear about the development process of Ogura Saki's Flame Release. He could follow the same path, but his proficiency in Wind Release was far from Ogura Saki's level.

The difficulty of improving proficiency in the Five-Attribute far exceeded Yichen's imagination. Yichen was already one of the top Ninjutsu masters in the Ninja World, and his development of each of the four attributes surpassed that of most Jonin. The fusion of the three bloodline limits made Yichen's understanding of Ninjutsu and Chakra attributes arguably the best in the entire Ninja World.

However, perhaps Yichen's talent for Wind Release is too poor. So far, the maximum amount of Wind Release Chakra Yichen has is enough to cast one A-rank Wind Release -Wind Release. What's even more infuriating is that Yichen hasn't even learned an A-rank wind-style chakra release yet.

Unlike Ogura Saki's Scorch Release Flame Release, which is primarily Fire Release, Pakura's Flame Release Scorch Release is primarily Wind Release. When Flame Release comes into contact with the enemy's Chakra, the Wind Release Wind Release takes effect first, automatically stripping away the enemy's Chakra before the Fire Release burns it.

After absorbing the enemy's Chakra, the Flame Release Wind Release to advance.

It can be said that the Wind Release is the main reason why Flame Release has the characteristic of being unstoppable.

Yichen's current Wind Release is far from reaching the level of Ogura Saki, and he hasn't even reached the minimum level of Chakra Fusion.

Yichen's path to Flame Release is long and arduous; for now, we can only offer a small glimmer of hope.

Ōnoki was carefully inquiring about the training methods of Flame Release, because Ōnoki himself possessed the three attributes of wind, fire, and earth, and had completed the training of Dust Release through these three attributes.

Originally, Ōnoki wouldn't have coveted the Flame Release Kekkei Genkai, nor did he think he could learn Kekkei Genkai. Because in the original story, before Mei Terumi, no ninja had ever learned two bloodlines through their own efforts.

But this life is different. With Yichen as a living example before him, Ōnoki felt that he could still be saved.

With Ōnoki's mastery of both wind and fire attributes, he was certainly qualified to practice Flame Release. After listening to Ogura Saki's detailed description, Ōnoki felt that he needed to properly develop this Flame Release technique.

While Ōnoki's Dust Release is powerful, its usage is too simplistic. Aside from using Dust Release as a special technique, Ōnoki usually uses Earth Release in battle. Although his Earth Release is no less powerful than Kage Level, it is far inferior to Dust Release. It always feels like there is a lack of transitional means between Earth Release and Dust Release.

The unstoppable nature of Flame Release is perfect, Ōnoki expressed his strong interest.

However, this made Ōnoki feel that time was running out, as he hadn't mastered Sage Mode yet. Senjutsu training and bloodline development were both very time-consuming training methods.

At this moment, Ikura suddenly interjected, "Can Flame Release burn any type of Chakra? Can it burn the Chakra of Kekkei Genkai? And what about the Chakra of Tailed Beast?"

Ikura's words startled everyone. Right, what's the upper limit of Flame Release? Leaving aside its effectiveness against Kekkei Genkai, if it works on Tailed Beast as well, then the Iwa ninja have struck gold. The biggest challenge in Tailed Beast's rampage lies in its suffocatingly vast amount of Chakra.

If Flame Release can burn and convert the Chakra of Tailed Beast for one's own use, then Flame Release can be considered a bug in the system.

Try it if you think of it; Yichen himself has five attributes and two Kekkei Genkai.

Water Release: Water Style: Water Wave, Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, Water Release: Water Clone Jutsu, Earth Release: Earth Style: Earth Flow Rock Crumble, Earth Release: Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet, Earth Release: Earth Style Clone, Lightning Release: Lightning Release Lightning Conduction, Lightning Clone: Lightning Clone, Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique, Wind Release: Wind Release: Breakthrough, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, Shadow Clone Jutsu...

Yichen used all the C-rank and B-rank Ninjutsu he knew and finally concluded that Flame Release was not omnipotent.

First: Flame Release does indeed have the effect of stripping away the Chakra from an enemy's Ninjutsu and burning it, but this process takes time. If it is against a swift Ninjutsu like Lightning Release, then the effect of Flame Release will be much less.

Flame Release and Lightning Release clash, but the flames can only weaken the lightning; they cannot burn it all before it hits the Lightning Release.

However, Flame Release is surprisingly effective against defensive Ninjutsu.

Secondly, there is an upper limit to how much Chakra Flame Release can burn. Through experimentation, it has been found that the level of Flame Release burning can be increased by almost a whole level. A C-rank Flame Release Ninjutsu can completely burn the Chakra in a B-rank Ninjutsu. This did not surprise Yichen and the others, after all, it is Kekkei Genkai, and the Ninja World generally considers regular Kekkei Genkai to be one level stronger.

Then, Flame Release was not very effective against Chakra burning of the same level. Yichen used his Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu to fight against Flame Release and found that Flame Release did have some burning effect, but compared to the obvious effect against normal elemental Ninjutsu, this effect was negligible.

Although everyone was disappointed, they were not disappointed, as this was within their expectations.

The last item was the Tailed Beast Chakra test, which was also easy to handle. Yichen directly summoned Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Han was now very adept at mobilizing the Chakra of the Five-Tails Kokuō Kokuō, and Kokuō not only did not obstruct him, but also cooperated very well.

However, the test results disappointed everyone. It seemed that the Five-Tails' Chakra Level was even above the Kekkei Genkai, and the Flame Release had almost no effect on the Five-Tails 'Chakra.

Come to think of it, the Five-Tails can Boil Release, so its Chakra Level is at least at the level of a bloodline limit.

Yichen recalled the original work. The Nine-Tails and the One-Tail appeared the most in the original work One-Tail could help the successive Kage of Sunagakure learn Magnet Release. The Nine-Tails even looked down on Senjutsu.

More importantly, the Tailed Beast Chakra seems to have a healing effect. Many Jinchuriki, despite suffering very serious injuries, were able to recover very easily with the help of the Tailed Beast Chakra.

Regardless, the Flame Release has, to some extent, enhanced the foundation of Iwagakure, which is very good news.

After the Flame Release experiment concluded, Ogura Saki, Han, and the others dispersed, while Yichen and the advisors chatted in the Training Ground.

"Mei, have the Uchiha Clan children who joined the village this time been settled in?" Ōnoki asked Mei.

"Everything is settled. As per Yichen's request, every family that adopts Uchiha child is a cheerful and optimistic family. The parents of these children are all commoners or ninjas with many friends, deep bonds, and frequent and close interactions with other villagers. The Anbu has just conducted examinations on these children these past few days," Mei replied.

Saka asked, "How talented are they?"

Ming said, "His talent is better than average, but not exceptionally outstanding. However, the strength of the Uchiha Clan is not physical, so it's too early to say what his true talent is."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yichen's focus was different; he asked Ōnoki, "Third Hokage, how is Sokai Uchiha doing?"

Ōnoki said, "It's much better than before. The addition of these children has made him much more mature. With this change in mindset, his grades in theoretical studies have also improved."

"However, because your Sharingan was sealed, his strength hasn't improved much; he's still the Dead Last."

Yichen nodded. With Obito Uchiha as a precedent, it wasn't a big deal for the Uchiha Clan to be at the Dead Last.

Yichen cared about more was Sokai's mindset. If Sokai's feelings for the Uchiha Clan could be transferred to Iwagakure with the addition of these children, then the Uchiha Clan could be considered to have truly joined Iwagakure.

Of course, this is all predicated on the Uchiha Clan being wiped out as in the original story.
