Training

[Mission: What is F*cking Fair Completed]

[Reward: Stamina x0.1, Special Reward: Bu'a]

[Bu'a: Maintain strictness, uphold justice without bias. Grants the holder extremely strong mental buffs, greatly enhances mental attacks and genjutsu effects, greatly increases resistance to mental and genjutsu-based attacks (strengthens with the holder's growth, currently manifests as immunity to genjutsu below the Single Tomoe Sharingan level)]

The system's cold, mechanical voice sounded, signifying the mission's successful completion.

Aside from the normal attribute point rewards, this special reward was as powerful as ever, providing benefits far exceeding ordinary attribute point rewards.

"Just with my current Single Tomoe Sharingan's pupil power, I can already resist all genjutsu below Double Tomoe. I can't imagine what it will be like when my pupil power upgrades again."

Looking at the words appearing on the Panel, the young man couldn't help but fall into a reverie.

"By then, maybe Double Tomoe will be able to directly counter Mangekyo Sharingan..."

At this thought, the young man's mood greatly improved. He looked at the crowd that still lingered around and raised his hand to wave them off.

"You can all disperse! Disperse! There's nothing exciting to see, go back to what you were doing!"

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding crowd began to rustle and slowly disperse.

"Then, we'll take our leave as well." Uchiha Huohuo and Uchiha Liu greeted the young man, then escorted two Root members towards the Security Force.

After seeing everyone off, the young man also turned and left the spot.

In a training ground within Konoha, the young man stood, his hands moving up and down to form several hand seals. He then let out a low shout.

"Wind Style: Wind Slash!"

Stamina and mental energy surged and leaped. Under Uchiha Kai's control, they mixed and refined into pure Chakra. As the hand seals were completed, The next moment, invisible wind transformed into threads that converged into a steel blade. With a tearing sound, the wooden post in front of the young man fell.

The smooth cross-section at the break showed the sharpness of the attack.

"Hoo~ Nice power. The Wind Slash ninjutsu is quite good in both power and practicality. It greatly compensates for my offensive methods. Relying solely on Fire Style is too limiting."

Looking at the masterpiece before him, the young man nodded with satisfaction.

As for where this ninjutsu came from, it was naturally one of the ninjutsu recorded in the scroll that Uchiha Yashiro had given Uchiha Kai that night.

Looking at the ever-increasing data on the Panel, Uchiha Kai felt a sense of comfort. This feeling of getting stronger step by step and having complete control over himself was truly exhilarating.

The young man felt as if he held the future in his palm.

"Now, let's test the next item."

Saying this, the young man formed several more hand seals. The next second, an invisible heatwave surged.

A fireball condensed from Chakra floated in front of Uchiha Kai. It wasn't finished yet; accompanied by the throwing of over a dozen shuriken, amplified by the flames, the shuriken transformed into dazzling fire meteors that scattered forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of impact sounds came. The shuriken, imbued with fiery Chakra, deeply embedded themselves in the wooden post, leaving large scorched marks.

"It's not just that they're imbued with flames... even the flight speed and force of the shuriken themselves have increased significantly. Is this the effect of Chakra..."

After estimating the power, the young man murmured with a hint of emotion.

"Finally, let's test my mastery of the Body Flicker Technique. Once I master this technique, I'll be able to establish a preliminary combat routine."

At this thought, the young man's hands moved up and down, constantly forming hand seals.

Ushi-Inu-Tatsu-Ne-Inu-I-Mi-Tora.

"Bang!"

The white smoke dispersed, and a figure identical to the young man appeared.

"Whoa! It finally came out!" The Shadow Clone shouted, striking a pose as if embracing the world.

"Fresh air! I was suffocating!"

"Speak, what do you want me to do this time, you perverted original?" the Shadow Clone asked flippantly, picking its nose.

"Just testing my training results. Attack me with these shuriken." Before he finished speaking, the young man tossed a ninja tool bag full of shuriken to the clone.

"Oh? Go all out?" The Shadow Clone asked meaningfully as it caught the ninja tool bag.

"Give it your all." The young man replied calmly.

The next second, two pairs of scarlet, demonic eyes opened simultaneously, and a chilling Chakra enveloped the surroundings.

"Clang! Clang! Clang-clang!"

Arriving before words, Shuriken transformed into an iron net, their sharp attacks coming from all directions, sealing off all of the young man's escape routes.

The iron rain was about to pour down, and it seemed there was no escape or evasion left.

"Whoosh--"

Accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, over a dozen Shuriken missed their target and embedded themselves in the dirt. Looking closely, Uchiha Kai was nowhere to be found, only a few emerald leaves swept by the strong wind remained.

"Not bad."

The young man, who had reappeared ten meters away, whispered.

"My turn."

Before he finished speaking, several Shuriken were thrown from the young man's hands, shooting towards the clone.

"Again?! Are you really a freak, main body!" a furious roar echoed, and the two began to fight.

Five minutes later, the gleaming Zhulu sliced across the Shadow Clone's throat, and with a look of complaint, it dissolved into a puff of white smoke.

After fighting with a Shadow Clone that possessed half of his own Chakra, the young man gained much insight and wore a look of satisfaction.

"Quite a harvest..."

The entire afternoon was spent training, and Uchiha Kai felt increasingly fulfilled.

"That's enough for today, it's getting late, let's grab something to eat first." The young man's brow twitched as he touched his rumbling stomach.

"I'll solve dinner over there." He said, turning towards his destination.

Konoha under the twilight had a rare sense of weariness. The crimson clouds in the sky cast a dim yellow light, making the streets seem even cooler.

Thick heat and a unique aroma wafted from a small workshop by the street. Pushing aside the half-covered curtain, the young man spoke from his high stool at the long table.

"A large bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen with an extra side of Chashu."

"Coming right up! Large Tonkotsu with Chashu, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon?" Uncle Ichiraku's hearty voice came from the kitchen.

Looking at the old posters on the wall, Uchiha Kai took a sip of the complimentary hot water.

Hmm, I should eat less instant noodles from now on. I'm not exactly struggling anymore, I can't be so careless about meals.

The rich aroma of ramen filled the air, and the young man's mood improved significantly. He couldn't help but swallow.

Five minutes later, a bowl brimming with steaming ramen was served.

"Enjoy~" Uncle Ichiraku said with a kind smile.

"I won't stand on ceremony~"

A large mouthful of ramen entered his mouth, and the rich aroma exploded, filling his nasal cavity with the fragrance of Tonkotsu.

"Mmmph... Delicious!" The young man exclaimed with satisfaction. Seeing this, Uncle Ichiraku smiled kindly, his face radiating warmth.

"Eat slowly, no rush."

The empty shop was filled only with the sound of the young man slurping noodles, a sense of indescribable peace.

"Huh?! Kai! You're here too."

A loud call came from outside the door.
