Keigo Uchiha was completely stunned.
"Is this the true foundation of the Uchiha Clan?"
There was no need to even mention Uchiha Madara's notes on Lightning Release; when he used Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang in his Six Paths state to slice through Six Paths Naruto's black rods, it was enough to show just how formidable Madara's mastery of Lightning Release truly was.
It was just that Madara usually preferred playing with fire and piloting his Susanoo, causing everyone to overlook his attainments in Lightning Release.
And the Yotsuki Clan was likewise a family renowned throughout the ninja world.
Many people might not be familiar with the name Yotsuki Clan.
But to put it another way, every single Raikage in the history of Kumogakure had been a member of the Yotsuki Clan!
"Our ancestors back in the day were truly fierce; they even kept figures like the Raikage from being able to lift their heads!"
Keigo Uchiha took a deep breath.
There was no doubt that this Yotsuki Clan scroll could not have been obtained peacefully; it had been... robbed!
"But... Great Elder..." Keigo Uchiha scratched his head and laughed, "Since we have the Yotsuki Clan's Lightning Release, do we also have their Nintaijutsu?"
Suddenly.
The Great Elder's face darkened.
He was completely caught off guard by the question.
"Are you a bandit, kid? How can you be so greedy? Learn these things first!"
The Great Elder puffed out his beard and glared, but after a long moment, he asked, "Do you really want the Yotsuki Clan's Nintaijutsu?"
Keigo Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "You actually have it? I want it!"
Looking at the Great Elder's expression, it seemed... he really did!
Just kidding.
The Nintaijutsu of the Raikage lineage was truly incredible; one had to remember that in the original story, the Raikage was a beast—fast and possessing immense stamina.
The Third Raikage had held off ten thousand Iwagakure ninja single-handedly, fighting for three days and three nights before finally dying of exhaustion.
How fierce was that? A true man in every sense of the word!
Watching Keigo Uchiha's expectant expression, the Great Elder fell into deep thought, then waved his hand and said, "Master these things first, then we can talk about Nintaijutsu."
"As for Water Release ninjutsu... the Uchiha Clan has never had Water Release users, which is a bit of a problem."
The Great Elder stroked his beard, "However, Konoha once had... a powerful Water Release master. If I recall correctly, the Water Release ninjutsu of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is currently in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"Although Senju Tobirama is dead, given your talent, as long as you have the scrolls in hand, self-study shouldn't be a problem!"
The Great Elder waved his hand with an air of dominance.
It was as if he had already claimed Senju Tobirama's Water Release ninjutsu for himself.
Keigo Uchiha: "..."
Well!
No wonder I always feel the urge to snatch things from others; it turns out the problem stems from here!
Before long, the two returned to the room. The Great Elder looked at the fair-skinned, cute Hakuto nearby and smiled, "Since Keigo has already tested his chakra nature today, Hakuto, you should take this opportunity to test yours as well!"
As he spoke.
He pulled a piece of chakra test paper from his pocket, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Okay! I will also become a powerful ninja, Keigo!"
Hakuto clenched her small hands, her face full of fighting spirit.
Immediately after, she channeled her chakra into the test paper.
A full minute passed, and the paper showed no change whatsoever!
"No chakra nature at all?"
Keigo Uchiha frowned.
This didn't make sense.
Even the weakest person would possess a chakra nature, and Hakuto had been born during a winter when withered trees bloomed anew!
Suddenly, he thought of something. Could it be... Yang Release!
"No, it's not that Hakuto lacks a nature, but rather... her nature is too strong!"
The Great Elder smiled. He slowly placed his finger on the chakra test paper. "This paper looks like it hasn't changed, but in reality, on this paper... the front is glowing, while the back..."
He flipped the paper over, "is darkening!"
Keigo Uchiha's pupils constricted.
Just as expected.
One side glowing, the other side dim.
It was as if... it were two sides of Yin and Yang.
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Ordinary ninjas don't usually display Yin or Yang attributes because their inherent Yin-Yang affinity isn't strong, but when Hakuto was born, it was the dead of winter."
"Yet, the white peach tree in the courtyard miraculously bloomed as if spring had returned, and all the other flowers and plants regained their luster!"
"This is the manifestation of Yang Release at its absolute peak!"
The Great Elder looked at Hakuto with admiration, his eyes filled with doting affection. "Hakuto possesses a rare Yang Release constitution. I never expected that our Uchiha clan would produce both a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai and a Yang Release constitution!"
Keigo Uchiha's expression turned to one of realization.
He finally understood.
Having a Yang attribute is common for the Senju clan, just as having a Yin attribute is for the Uchiha clan; that is the same principle. But merely possessing the attribute is different from having a Yang Release constitution!
Keigo Uchiha's gaze grew solemn. A Yang Release constitution... to put it another way... is equivalent to being a half-Sage Body!
It is precisely because the Senju clan frequently produces individuals with a Yang Release constitution that they are able to contend with the Uchiha.
Otherwise, the Senju clan logically possesses no Kekkei Genkai; how could they have tangled with the Uchiha's Sharingan for so many years?
"In Konoha, besides the Senju clan, the Akimichi clan also practices Yang Release, but the Akimichi cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the Senju. Their clan hasn't produced a single Yang Release constitution in centuries. Of course, not everyone in the Senju clan has a Yang Release constitution either!"
The Great Elder's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Keigo Uchiha. "In these past ten years... only one person has possessed this aptitude!"
"Do you know who that is, Keigo?"
Keigo Uchiha was stunned. If this question were asked of anyone else, they might not know.
But for him, a transmigrator, it couldn't be simpler!
"In the Senju clan, the most famous person in the ninja world right now is the First Hokage's granddaughter, Tsunade. Could it be Princess Tsunade?"
Keigo Uchiha put on a look of uncertainty, as if he were merely guessing.
"Exactly!"
The Great Elder's gaze was full of admiration; he hadn't expected Keigo to be able to guess even this.
"A strong Yang attribute leads to immense vitality. Whether it is in practicing taijutsu, medical ninjutsu, or the sheer volume of chakra, there is a massive advantage. Hakuto's Yang Release constitution is not inferior to Tsunade's!"
"She might even grow up to be a more powerful medical ninja than Tsunade! Because Hakuto not only possesses a Yang Release constitution but also the Sharingan—Yin Release!"
Regarding the path for Hakuto's future, Kyo Uchiha had already formed an idea long ago.
To become a medical ninja!
Keigo's gaze sharpened. It seems the Great Elder has already mapped out a future path for Hakuto.
Right now, the Third Hokage is in his prime, and Tsunade is only in her teens.
She hasn't even developed medical ninjutsu or the medical system yet.
Yet, the Great Elder could choose the medical path for Hakuto during this period, which is enough to show his vision and foresight. He is a truly far-sighted elder!
"That's great! Then in the future, when Keigo gets hurt, I can help heal him!"
Hakuto cheered, her small face filled with excitement.
The worry from just a moment ago vanished completely.
The Great Elder smiled slightly, a hint of gloom appearing in his eyes. "You two are the treasures of the Uchiha clan. Go back and rest. I will find a way to help you with the Water Release ninjutsu!"
Having Hakuto become a medical ninja was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
Keigo's father.
That is, Kagami Uchiha!
He possessed immense talent and even awakened those legendary eyes back in the day, yet he died in a conflict with Kumogakure. The reason was precisely because of the overuse of the Sharingan without the treatment of a medical ninja!
This was the shadow that had haunted his heart for a lifetime.
Such a thing must never happen again!
"With Hakuto having such talent, and the two of them being childhood sweethearts, it is naturally the most suitable choice."
Kyo Uchiha watched their departing backs, his sharp gaze softening with a touch of kindness.
