Admonition, Point Allocation, Ice Release

Inside the cave concealed by Barrier, Taiichi, Yohei, and Saori sat in a circle around a campfire. They were all listening intently to Taiichi's speech, which involved secrets of the Uchiha Clan —secrets they were not normally allowed to know.

"I also found this information in the materials left by Teacher Tsunade." Taiichi first tried to find a reasonable source for what he was about to say.

After all, the person who knows you best is often your enemy.

The Senju and Uchiha were enemies from the Warring States Period until the founding of Konoha. Even later, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, remained wary of the Uchiha Clan. No one believed that the Senju hadn't studied the Sharingan of the Uchiha.

"Each advancement of the Sharingan of the Uchiha is often accompanied by the death of someone close to them. This is because when an Uchiha witnesses such an event, the intense mental stimulation causes the brain to generate special Chakra, thereby stimulating the eyes to undergo a qualitative change."

"And that's why the Uchiha are known as the cursed clan." Taiichi first summarized the principles of Sharingan advancement, giving Yohei a general idea before continuing.

"Most Uchiha reach their peak when they advance to the Three-Tomoe, but there are some geniuses among them." Taiichi looked at Yohei. He really didn't expect Yohei to have such talent. If Madara Uchiha would be Obito.

"Above the Three-Tomoe is the Mangekyō Sharingan, which possesses ocular power far exceeding that of the Three-Tomoe, and each pair of Mangekyo has its own unique Dōjutsu." Taiichi looked at Yohei, "It seems you've also sensed the Dōjutsu hidden in your eyes, haven't you?"

Yohei nodded and was about to speak when Taiichi Teuchi in time.

"Don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone this secret, because some Dōjutsu are extremely powerful or have bizarre functions, so it's safest for only you to know it!" Taiichi solemnly reminded him.

Seeing Yohei nod, Taiichi continued, "And every pair of Mangekyo has this common killing move, which is to summon the giant Susanoo, who is said to possess the power of a god!"

Legend has it that it possesses world-destroying power, and that Uchiha, the former head of the Madara Uchiha clan, relied on it to overpower the other four great ninja villages.

Yohei's eyes lit up when he heard this. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Taiichi probably would have rushed out to test his Mangekyō Sharingan long ago.

So Taiichi immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm. "However, the Mangekyō Sharingan has a significant drawback: overuse will gradually blur your vision, eventually leading to blindness!"

"What! How could this happen! What's the point of having eyes then?!" Yohei jumped three feet high, staring wide-eyed at Taiichi, as if waiting for Taiichi to say, "That was just a joke."

But in the end, he still succumbed to Taiichi's incredibly earnest gaze. He really wanted Taiichi to be lying; the feeling of powerlessness was unbearable. During the day, he could only watch helplessly as Taiichi faced a powerful enemy alone, while he could only follow behind.

Yohei never wants to experience that feeling again.

The appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan undoubtedly greatly enhanced Yangping's strength. Although it had only been less than a day, Yohei could feel that his Chakra Quantity had almost doubled, his spirit was abundant, his body was gradually becoming stronger, and more importantly, he had a unique Dōjutsu hidden in his eyes.

But the ultimate result of all this was blindness, which left Yohei utterly devastated.

However, Yohei was quick-witted and immediately noticed the loophole in Taiichi's words, "Wait, Taiichi, how come Madara Uchiha's eyes have always been intact?"

"This is yet another tragedy for the Sharingan. To escape the fate of blindness, the Mangekyo must go a step further and achieve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan." Taiichi looked at Yohei, his tone low and suppressed. "And the condition for this advancement is to take away the Mangekyo of his twin brother and fuse with it."

"Ah!" Saori exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

That's so cruel!

Yohei Ping nodded in agreement, then asked hopefully, "Taiichi, isn't there any other way?"

"At least not for now. These are just what I've seen in the materials. As for whether there are other solutions, that requires further research." Taiichi still offered hope, "After all, this is the first time I've ever seen a real Mangekyo!"

Hearing Taiichi's words, Yohei's worry turned to joy. "Haha, then there's no problem! I believe in you, Taiichi! If you have anything you need to research, just come to me, and I'll definitely cooperate with you!"

Yohei's carefree attitude has left Taiichi bewildered. He doesn't know if it's just his nature or if he truly trusts Taiichi. Perhaps it's both!

But Taiichi certainly wouldn't disappoint him. After all, there were ways to prevent blindness with the Mangekyo in the original work, and Hashirama Cells were one of them. It's just that Taiichi doesn't have that ability yet.

Moreover, it doesn't have to be that way. In Taiichi's view, as long as Yohei's physical and mental strength are strong enough, the side effects of the Mangekyo are just child's play.

"I won't let you down," Taiichi promised.

Just as Yohei was still fantasizing about being able to use the Mangekyo at will in the future, Taiichi's words interrupted his thoughts.

Now that you know about the Mangekyo, let's talk about why I didn't want you to tell anyone about Mangekyo.

"Why!" Yohei blurted out, dumbfounded.

"Because the Mangekyo Sharingan is too powerful, and given the precedent of Madara Uchiha, the Village Higher-Ups are afraid that the Uchiha will once again possess this power. You should also be able to sense that a large portion of the village's higher-ups have grievances against the Uchiha, right?"

Yohei nodded subconsciously. He was just a straightforward person, not stupid. He naturally knew about the problems in the village and the family.

"Then why can't we tell our family, not even our parents?"

"That's because the Uchiha have a history of rebellion." Taiichi's words startled Yohei. "Although not many people know about that incident now, the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha leadership will never forget it!"

Even now, there are still Radical Faction factions within the Uchiha who are constantly thinking about seizing power by force, which is why the Village Higher-Ups dislikes the Uchiha so much.

"Tell me, what do you think the Uchiha would do if they found out they had another pair of Mangekyo?" Taiichi asked ominously.

Yohei thought about it briefly, then shuddered and decided it was best not to say anything.

He knew his parents too well; telling them was tantamount to telling the clan leader, and if the clan leader knew, how could the other high-ranking members not know?

Having made his decision, Yohei stopped dwelling on the matter. He was more concerned about his Sharingan. "Taiichi, do you think I can still practice with the Mangekyo? If I have it but don't practice, I won't be able to use it when the time comes!"

"A little practice shouldn't be a problem. You can come see me every now and then, and I'll use Medical Ninjutsu to soothe your eyes and give you regular checkups so I can keep track of your training intensity."

Taiichi offered advice to Yohei, while also instructing the two of them, "Also, remember to practice the Basic Taijutsu I taught you; a strong body is fundamental. When we return to Camp, I will teach you a set of Basic Meditation techniques to help you train your mental strength."

Upon hearing this, Yohei and Saori were immediately delighted. They had both experienced the effects of the Basic Taijutsu. Yohei was able to activate the Mangekyo so easily, and aside from his own talent, the Basic Taijutsu certainly played a role to some extent.

Now that he can learn another Basic Meditation, Yohei has already begun to fantasize about the exhilarating scene of punching the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking the Beihai Kindergarten in the future.

Waking the two from their reverie, Taiichi checked the time and instructed them, "It's getting late, go and rest. I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and you two will take over for the second half."

The two then gathered their thoughts and found a comfortable place to lie down and rest. They were indeed exhausted today, especially Saori, who had suffered a rather serious injury.

Not long after the two lay down, soft snoring could be heard. Taiichi stirred the campfire to make it burn brighter.

Looking around and seeing that everything was alright, he walked out of the cave alone, thinking about what had happened that day.

Today's ambush was far too dangerous. If it weren't for my Attribute Points and my virtually unlimited Chakra reserves, I would definitely be the one who died on that island today.

This battle can be said to have been achieved through unexpected Water Style and Wind Style, and the Fire Transformation Technique under the influence of unlimited Chakra, which allowed Taiichi to hold back so many enemies.

Otherwise, if those Cloud Ninja had only spared a portion of their forces to pursue Yohei and the others, under different circumstances, Taiichi himself might have remained unharmed, but it would have been uncertain whether Yohei and Saori would have survived.

Reflecting on the entire battle today, and considering the increasingly tense situation of the Third Shinobi World War, Taiichi was forced to make some introspective remarks.

Attribute Points are valuable; they can be a lifesaver in critical moments. Besides, directly increasing attributes is too inefficient now. Increasing your constitution from 25 to 26 requires 6 Attribute Points, which is far less cost-effective than using them as "batteries."

As for Skill Points, use them when you need to; you don't need to save them all. Just keep a few for emergencies. This way, you can quickly improve your strength and prepare for the upcoming battle.

After all, as the battle approaches, the methods used by the villages are becoming increasingly unscrupulous. This time it's an ambush, next time it might be poisoning, or even kidnapping and threats!

After considering this, Taiichi looked at his panel. The only thing that made Taiichi happy about today's battle was that his job level increased by two levels, reaching Lv7, which provided Taiichi with 2 Attribute Points and Skill Points.

Now, Taiichi needs to consider how to allocate these Skill Points.

First, Taiichi tried adding 1 point to the highest-level Fire Nature Transformation.

As expected, I didn't directly reach Lv13 as I Taiichi imagined; instead, I gained 1000 experience points.

Some experience.

At the same time, a message entered Taiichi's brain, making him understand that above the Kage Level, each Skill Points can only increase experience by 1000 points.

With this understanding, Taiichi made a plan in mind. Considering maximizing the use of Skill Points, Taiichi added 1 point to Advanced Taijutsu. Seeing that it could be upgraded to Lv5 normally, he added another point to reach Lv6.

But when he added the third point, the panel only showed that he had gained 1000 experience points, so Taiichi knew that he was at Lv6.

That's at the level of Kage Level- level film.

At this moment, a torrent of memories began to surge in Taiichi's mind. Taiichi seemed to transform into countless beings, practicing his Taijutsu in Takayama, canyons, and by the sea, year after year, until he mastered all these Taijutsu.

When Taiichi regained consciousness and assessed his physical condition, he realized that level increases only improved skills and proficiency; improving physical fitness still required personal training.

Now, Taiichi strength is equivalent to two parts of his previous power. Similarly, with training, the effect has almost doubled. This is the benefit of leveling up.

In this way, Taiichi raised both Advanced Meditation and Advanced Swordsmanship to Lv6.

After the memories merged, Taiichi felt that he could easily defeat his former self.

After reviewing my stats again, I have 15 Skill Points left after allocating them.

Considering that the various Nature Transformation are still quite far from Lv11, Taiichi decided to save enough Skill Points to train them to Lv10, and then use the Skill Points to break through to Lv11 in one fell swoop.

As for the remaining points that needed to be added, Taiichi thought it over and decided to use them on Sealing Jutsu.

After all, Taiichi had suffered a loss from the Sealing Jutsu this time, and he didn't want to be trapped by it again next time.

With the addition of 4 Skill Points, the Sealing Jutsu reached Lv11. After the memory fusion was completed, Taiichi also understood that this Lv11 Sealing Jutsu only provided him with enough theoretical foundation. As for the specific Sealing Jutsu skills, he still had to go back to Konoha to learn them.

With all the basic ability points allocated, the remaining and most important point to allocate today is Kekkei Genkai.

Looking at the Ice Attribute Nature Transformation that had barely reached Lv0 (15/100), Taiichi also deeply felt the difficulty of fusing bloodline limit.

Although he was busy with various tasks during this period, he would take time to practice fusion whenever he had a spare moment, but even so, the progress could only be described as slow.

This is only the initial stage of fusion, so it's relatively easy. As it progresses, the fusion will only become more and more difficult, and the process will be much slower.

The current situation doesn't allow Taiichi to wait any longer.

With the addition of 1 Skill Points, the Ice Attribute Nature Transformation immediately reached Lv1, and a miraculous change appeared within Taiichi's body.

The two attributes of Feng Shui spontaneously generated within Taiichi's body, and then the two came into contact with and merged in a subtle way.

Taiichi seemed to be observing all of this from God's perspective, taking in all its mysteries.

With the birth of the first wisp of ice-attribute Chakra, a subtle change occurred within Taiichi's body. This change penetrated deep into his bones and muscles, even reaching his cells and entering his genetic material.

This change was slow but steady, altering Taiichi's physique little by little.

As his physique changed, wisps of cold air emanated from Taiichi's body, and everything around him was affected by the cold air, slowly condensing into a layer of frost.

Fortunately, the cave was protected by Barrier; otherwise, Yohei and Saori would have noticed the drastic temperature change much earlier.

An hour later, the changes finally stopped, and the moment Taiichi opened his eyes, a flash of icy blue appeared in them.

Looking around, the frost-covered earth surprised him slightly, but the changes within himself immediately drew his attention.

My first impression was of the ever-increasing Chakra within my body. Although the increase had slowed down, it was still visible to the naked eye.

Taiichi glanced at the panel.

[Chakra: 40000 (50740)]

Chakra increased by 15,000 points, and the maximum daily Chakra extraction doubled, reaching 50,740 points.

This is a truly transformative change; his current Chakra Quantity is four times that of a typical newly Jonin.

Keep reading.

[Ice Attribute Nature Transformation Level 5 (1/800)]

Presumably influenced by feng shui attributes, the Ice Attribute Nature Transformation immediately reached L upon fusion.

v5. This saved Taiichi a lot of trouble.

With a flick of his right hand, an ice Senbon quickly took shape in his palm. This was not Ninjutsu, but merely a rudimentary application of Chakra Control and Shape Transformation.

He grabbed the Senbon, flicked it casually, and with a "thud," the Senbon was embedded in the tree trunk 10 meters away.

The Senbon remained intact and did not shatter due to the impact, demonstrating its solidity.

Taiichi's brows relaxed slightly. He wouldn't have to worry about weapons like Senbon and Kunai anymore; if they ran out, he could just make them himself.

As for Ice Release Ninjutsu, Taiichi, who witnessed the fusion process of Ice Release, is now overflowing with inspiration. He just needs to put these inspirations into practice when he has some free time, and then he won't have to worry about basic Ice Release Ninjutsu at all.

With a wave of his hand, Taiichi dispelled the chill around him and began to carefully sense the other changes within himself.

First, he used Fire Style. Fire-attribute Chakra flowed through his body without any stagnation. Using Fire Style was just as smooth as before, which put Taiichi completely at ease.

Next came the other attributes. After some testing, Taiichi discovered that his current physique only had a certain boost to the wind, water, and ice attributes, and had no effect on other attributes.

Whether it's due to the Kekkei Genkai itself or the system panel's ability, this is undoubtedly good news for Taiichi.

After all the tests and skill point allocation were completed, Taiichi felt a surge of relief. If it weren't for the inconvenient timing, Taiichi would have loved to show off his newfound abilities and thoroughly test them out.

However, looking up at the moon overhead, it was almost time; it was time to wake up Yohei and Saori to take over their shift.

After resting for most of the night, they'll probably have a lot to talk about when they wake up, especially Yohei, whose Mangekyō Sharingan is quite something to show off.

Hey! A 14-year-old with the Mangekyo, only two years later than Uchiha Itachi, and with such minor side effects, it's truly enviable and makes one jealous.
