Quack, I'm Terrifyingly Strong Now!

"Yang Release, so this is what it feels like."

"Bestowing life upon form."

Four or five hours passed, and Uchiha Xiu gradually regained consciousness.

The entire process was far gentler than he had imagined; it was nothing like those "excreting impurities to cultivate immortality" tropes where bone fragments and waste blood gushed out from every pore.

In fact, what he could perceive most clearly was his chakra being reconstructed bit by bit. As it flowed like a babbling brook, a brand-new power known as Yang Release was also growing within him.

Compared to his original Uchiha spiritual power, this was far purer.

As expected of Senju Hashirama.

The reincarnation of Asura.

The God of Shinobi who had regressed to the level of the God Tree!

If one had to draw a comparison, only Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, could match him in status by relying on the ocular power of Yin Release.

"For an Uchiha like me to have an excess of Yang and a deficiency of Yin, it's simply turning the heavens upside down, hahaha~"

"What a happy problem to have!"

His heart was filled with joy.

Now, the power of Yang Release within his body was exceptionally abundant; he reckoned that even that old ghost, the wicked Senju Tobirama, would be shocked if he saw this—

The Senju orthodoxy is actually in an Uchiha?

Big Brother, what on earth did you do behind my back and Madara's back!

As Uchiha Xiu absorbed the final trace of the high-energy nutrient solution, he immediately suppressed his wandering thoughts:

"Main God, list my six-dimensional stats."

East Sea Team Leader Uchiha Xiu, six-dimensional attributes as follows--

Intelligence: 355

Mental Strength: 681

Nerve Reflex: 749

Muscle Strength: 777

Cell Activity: 811

Immunity: 853

The increase was indeed significant.

Especially regarding the attributes representing vitality; before injecting the improved Hashirama cells, Uchiha Xiu had actually checked his initial static attributes:

Intelligence 350

Mental Strength 569

Nerve Reflex 531

Muscle Strength 493

Cell Activity 508

Immunity 522

Except for the Intelligence attribute, which involved information analysis and combat IQ and saw minimal improvement, his Mental Strength—which was linked to the level of his Sharingan—had increased by over a hundred points, and he could clearly perceive the boost in his ocular power!

He was one step closer to the Three Tomoe.

"Combined with the release of physical potential from the second-stage Gene Lock, taking out an average Jonin in a single burst of ninjutsu is no problem at all."

"The chakra in my body has surged, more than ten times what it was before, and the extraction speed has increased accordingly."

"I'm just about on par with a Kakashi now."

"Because the Uchiha are a clan naturally gifted with large chakra reserves, combined with the traits of the Senju clan brought by the Hashirama cells... do you understand the gold content of little Hashirama?"

If he hadn't experienced too many bouts of wild joy in a short time, and hadn't just vented by laughing maniacally in the Alien World not long ago, he would have been unable to stop himself from laughing out loud again.

The Main God Space is a great place!

Gratitude to the Great Light Sphere.

"For someone like me, being able to come here is truly a pleasant surprise."

One can become stronger without having to suffer a major trauma and becoming a mental patient.

The principle behind the strengthening of the Sharingan lies in the fact that Uchiha clansmen originally possess immense "love," and when they lose that love, a special chakra surges in their brains, reflecting onto their optic nerves and causing the eyes to change, first producing the first tomoe within the pupils, appearing symmetrically in both eyes!

By the same logic, the more tomoe in the eyes, the stronger the abilities of the Sharingan...

Lying in the bathtub, stark naked, Uchiha Xiu looked up at the sky, his thoughts gradually drifting.

Slowly, he thought of his previous life, of a heretical school of thought he had accidentally stumbled upon while bored and browsing the Infinite Terror Tieba forum.

It was a truly heaven-defying and earth-shattering maneuver!

"It seems to have been about hypnotizing oneself into narcissism."

"Then create life, perform a Dream-Shattering Blade combo, complete the loop, achieve enlightenment through green, and break through the heavens right on the spot..."

Applying the logic, the Sharingan can indeed be used as a substitute.

One must know that the dead-last Obito, upon seeing Rin Nohara die before his eyes, was so intensely stimulated that he instantly evolved from two tomoe to Mangekyou, awakening the noble space-time ocular technique: Kamui.

The Green Hat Emperor? As the term flashed through his mind, Uchiha Xiu felt a chill.

He instinctively rejected such a bizarre system!

He resisted it on a soul level!!

"With two D-rank side quests and 4870 reward points remaining, I cannot stably upgrade to three tomoe through high-quality exchange items for the time being."

"Putting the restoration of the Gunbai's glory aside for now... Senju Xiu, that name actually sounds quite nice, too."

Grinding points reasonably during the intermission.

He couldn't help but think of this phrase again.

This was a part of the East Sea Team's overall Great Leap Forward plan: consume one D-rank side quest and pay a cost of fifty reward points per day to return to a horror movie world previously experienced, thereby triggering additional hidden Easter eggs.

Correspondingly... the difficulty would be higher than the official trial.

During this period, traveling to other worlds would not trigger missions.

Even so, Uchiha Xiu would still frequently return to the Ninja World to look around, plotting for benefits step by step and exchanging for sufficient cultivation time, among other things.

"The knack for Wood Release ninjutsu is best mastered as early as possible."

"Forget about skill infusion; I feel like I'm losing out just by exchanging for relevant knowledge from the Great Light Sphere."

[--Scroll of Seals, rating 91, a forbidden book kept by successive Hokage, containing ninjutsu that cause great harm or even death to the user, requires two C-rank side quests and three thousand reward points.]

"After paying the entry fee, 'zero-dollar shopping' in the Naruto World through various operations is the correct solution."

"The clan possesses a massive inheritance of ninjutsu, allowing me to openly learn ninjutsu, genjutsu, sealing techniques, and forbidden arts from Konoha, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure..."

"Hmm, if the clan's secret collection doesn't contain a Wood Release scroll, finding a suitable opportunity to ambush the Anbu member Yamato and interrogating him with genjutsu would be a good breakthrough point, or even secretly copying it with my Sharingan while fighting him."

The First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world.

Yamato uses Wood Release for landscaping.

Lacking time accumulation, the target's current strength won't be too high.

Before returning to the Naruto World, if he undergoes another round of resource strengthening and manages to gather good intelligence, Uchiha Xiu feels there is a high probability of success.

Splash.

The water surface rippled as he stepped out.

A large pile of specially made rubber balls had quietly appeared beside the bathtub.

It cost less than one reward point, only two points!

One point is equal to one thousand points.

In reality, one kilogram of contraband drugs—enough to get one executed several times over—is only worth five points.

Of course, Uchiha Xiu never needed such cheap and ugly narcotics; he possessed a sufficiently stable core to face layers of crises.

"Let me try to explore the hand-seal-less ninjutsu, Rasengan."

"The principle was explained in detail in the anime; it's very simple: gather chakra in your hand, make it flow continuously in irregular directions, and compress it to form a palm-sized, high-rotation-density, non-elemental chakra sphere to attack the enemy."

"Now that I have more powerful chakra, insight, and mental strength, there's no reason not to go further based on the rich experience I've accumulated!"

That's right, Uchiha Xiu had also secretly practiced the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's signature move.

That was after he was promoted to Genin and awakened his one-tomoe Sharingan; it took over two months, used up thousands of children's balloons, and he barely managed to squeeze half his body into it.

There was no breakthrough after that.

Lack of mana!

Lack of control over details!

"The trick lies in continuously increasing the output... and the rotation must be fast."

Full of the desire to become stronger and unwilling to waste a second, Uchiha Xiu whispered as he gathered chakra in his palm.

The Sharingan clearly reflected the pulse trajectories of his arm, and the chakra spiraled and compressed like a vortex—the inner layer tore counter-clockwise, the outer layer twisted clockwise, and the two forces collided violently at the core of the sphere.

Pop~

The rubber skin turned into powder; he succeeded on the first try.

It turned out that once the timing was right, the high-level ninjutsu that had once been unreachable were nothing special.

A deep blue sphere, resembling the eye of a typhoon, spun lightly in his palm.

"Heh, the rubber balls were prepared for nothing."
