Becoming Light Plan: Phase Summary

The teams Yuhara could join, to put it nicely, wouldn't be Konoha's core units. Their members primarily consisted of ninjas like Yuhara, who weren't born in Konoha but came for various reasons. This was how Konoha accepted them.

However, from the perspective of managing a nation's military strength, this approach was not wrong from Konoha's standpoint.

At the same time, Konoha couldn't possibly use a team composed entirely of external ninjas. Therefore, such teams had to include ninjas who were genuinely born in Konoha. But why would ninjas with real strength, belonging to Konoha's core power, and possessing a certain status and ability, join such a team?

So, another source for team members was Konoha's civilian ninjas, even exceptionally young ones.

There was nothing wrong with this system, but in practice, problems often arose.

Speaking of Captain Hayase, to put it simply, he wasn't a Konoha ninja but a French ninja who was all bark and no bite. His death was his own doing. After learning of his actions, Konoha wouldn't invest much effort in investigating his cause of death. Why bother investigating someone like him?

However, what about the other young people who died due to such poor command? Similarly, they were dead, and that was that.

Because he had received specific orders, Yuhara was temporarily unable to leave Konoha.

For several days after the review, Yuhara continued to stay at the same inn. And if he wasn't mistaken, he was being monitored by Konoha ninjas at certain specific times each day...

This was normal. When an entire team was wiped out and only one person returned, a ninja village had reason to suspect that the survivor might have become an enemy spy. Yuhara even felt that Konoha's actions regarding this matter were much gentler than he had imagined, with no coercive measures taken against him at all... Well, perhaps he was overestimating himself.

Even if Yuhara had become a spy for another ninja village, what large-scale destruction could someone of his marginal status cause to Konoha? That was laughable.

Therefore, Konoha only needed to ensure he didn't run away.

Feeling a bit down, Yuhara didn't rush to train anything. He rested well at the inn for three days, spending most of his time daydreaming, a small portion sleeping, and a very small amount of time reflecting on the previous battle. He also figured out what he needed to do next and how to do it.

To summarize Yuhara's current abilities, it was quite straightforward. Setting aside the flashy superficialities, he essentially had only two abilities: first, metal control, and second, nature energy application.

Through the previous battle, Yuhara discovered a problem: his speed mode and power mode couldn't be used simultaneously. This was because when he used his Lightning Release high-speed mode, the primary flow of nature energy was through his meridian system; when he used his Blood Depletion power mode, the primary flow of nature energy was to his muscle tissue.

This situation limited the effectiveness of his combat power.

Yuhara used the established benchmark to evaluate himself, to determine his current combat strength.

For "Ninjutsu," given that Yuhara could already use high-level, high-offense, high-defense, wide-ranging "Magnet Release" ninjutsu, getting an 8 should be no problem.

For "Taijutsu," 4 points, and for "Genjutsu," 3 points. No further explanation was needed.

In terms of "Strength" and "Speed," if considering peak data, Yuhara could get full marks in both.

Firstly, Yuhara was a lay expert in electromagnetism. Secondly, he possessed high-intensity energy to exert this power, so his absolute speed was very fast. The only issue was practicality.

To give an imperfect analogy, if he were to have a 100-meter sprint race with those four Kirigakure enemies in the last battle, he would win. But if it were an obstacle course race, the situation would be completely different... Yuhara had agility issues, but it wasn't just about agility, as his Taijutsu was below average.

For "Hand Seals," "Stamina," and "Wisdom," Yuhara could at most get a passing grade of 6 for the first two. He basically never used hand seals, and his Chakra level was average. For "Wisdom," he humbly gave himself 8 points, knowing all sorts of intelligence about the ninja world, and his combat IQ was displayed in a cheating manner.

For the remaining "Instantaneous Burst" and "Secret Techniques," although Yuhara's own Chakra level was mediocre, with the addition of nature energy and mastering "folding compression," his instantaneous burst power far exceeded that of an ordinary ninja. However, because he wasn't using pure Sage Mode, and due to this imperfection, Yuhara rated himself a 9.

For the last category, considering Yuhara's metal control ability and nature energy application ability, he could also humbly take a 9.

In conclusion, although Yuhara didn't receive a "+" indicating individual invincibility, at his current stage, he had achieved 73 out of a perfect 100 points. With a slight weighting, his regular combat power could be rated at 800.

If he were to unleash his full power without restraint, his combat strength would definitely surpass Kakashi's.

Moreover, this combat power evaluation was a comprehensive one. After all, his severe imbalance made Yuhara a ninja with very obvious strengths and weaknesses... If we were to talk purely about offensive power, then Yuhara was far beyond the concept of a mere Kakashi.

His future direction for improvement was also clear: to achieve the simultaneous and balanced use of speed mode and power mode.

However, this was not urgent. Yuhara was currently in a "psychological reconstruction period," so a little laziness was understandable... His current feelings were hard to describe, but if forced to say, it was a complex state akin to "having gained nothing yet feeling like everything has been lost."

However, after three days of doing nothing in the inn room, Yuhara finally felt a bit bored, so he decided to go out for a walk.

Konoha looked the same as always. After wandering aimlessly through the streets and alleys for a few laps, Yuhara finally sat down on a bench by a small square.

The weather was very clear today. The warm sunlight shone down unobstructed, making the surroundings feel warm and pleasant. A few Spirit Beasts ambled by with lazy steps, as if they would never cross this small square... And indeed, they didn't. After a few steps, they would lie down on the ground and pretend to sleep.

Were these creatures like this in every world?

Yuhara couldn't help but shake his head, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

For some reason, his mood suddenly brightened.

Perhaps this world really did have such a principle...

The only thing that could cure a person's melancholy was someone else's pet.
