Land of Lightning.
There were no clouds in the sky, yet thunderous roars rang out without end.
Uchiha Yuzuru wore clothing bearing the Uchiha Clan's fan crest, with a longsword slung diagonally at his waist.
His long black hair danced in the wind, and his pitch-black eyes appeared even deeper against his fair skin.
He walked alone along the road, blue arcs of electricity flickering over his body from time to time.
"After awakening the Yotsuki Clan's bloodline, tempering my body with Lightning Release has become much easier than before..."
Uchiha Yuzuru sensed the changes in his body, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The next second, the chirping of Chidori rang out as large amounts of lightning enveloped Uchiha Yuzuru's right hand.
"I've completely mastered Chidori and its derivative, Chidori Stream. Combined with the Sharingan, they can display considerable power in battle. Once I return, I can pass the training methods on to the clan."
Uchiha Yuzuru dispersed the Chidori in his hand. With a thought, a sky-blue chakra ball immediately appeared in his palm.
Next, I should study the Rasengan's nature transformation.
Training as he traveled, Uchiha Yuzuru arrived at terrain resembling a desert wasteland.
As far as the eye could see, there were weathered rocks and towering stone mountains everywhere.
There was hardly any vegetation in sight.
Combined with the unceasing thunder in the sky, it gave one the feeling of being in hell.
"To survive after being imprisoned in a place like this for centuries... they really are tough."
Uchiha Yuzuru stopped before a canyon. Outside its entrance stood more than a dozen stone houses built from rock.
Several dozen Cloud Ninja blocked Uchiha Yuzuru's path and said coldly, "This is a restricted area ahead. No one is allowed to approach."
Uchiha Yuzuru said nothing.
