Talent (Part 2)

PS: Finally got a recommendation, adding an extra chapter. Please recommend and add to your library.

Little Whale's third reason for not being able to read fanfiction: simps!

This is... Lava Release?!

"This is the other harvest I mentioned. Last time, I gained inspiration for developing taijutsu from my teacher. I tried it when I got back, and while I succeeded, my chakra underwent a strange change. When I practiced the Great Fireball, this is what came out!" Suifeng said with an innocent look. "I can't figure out what this is, but I'm certain that my Fire Release is much more powerful than ordinary ones now!" Suifeng described the accident that happened to him perfectly; besides his transmigration and his Zanpakuto, he had nothing to hide.

"Of course, this is Lava Release, a Kekkei Genkai!" The Great Elder's gaze was as gentle as a kind old mother's. "It is a Kekkei Genkai produced by the fusion of fire and earth chakra. I imagine your body has undergone certain changes as well, hasn't it?!"

"Yes, Great Elder. After my chakra mutated, I clearly felt my body become much stronger, and my chakra reserves have increased significantly. I don't know how it happened!"

"This is your body being strengthened after the chakra fusion created the Kekkei Genkai!" To an ordinary ninja, a Kekkei Genkai is a secret, but to someone at the Great Elder's level, it is merely common knowledge.

"Practicing this kind of taijutsu can create a new Kekkei Genkai!?" Uchiha Fukuyama was stunned. Such a thing exists? Such a thing could even happen?!

"No, this might just be an accident, a coincidence!" The Great Elder calmed down from his initial excitement; this matter was still a bit too significant.

A powerful, universally applicable defensive taijutsu is very useful for the Uchiha, and a new Kekkei Genkai could help the Uchiha cultivate a powerful Jonin. All of this is within a controllable range, but if practicing this taijutsu could make Uchiha ninjas the source of a new Kekkei Genkai, that starts to sound like a death sentence.

In the ninja world, almost all Kekkei Genkai rely on bloodline inheritance, which is why they are called "bloodline limits." As for the origin of these bloodlines and how they were formed, it is no longer traceable.

Even newly formed Kekkei Genkai are the result of various coincidences and are non-replicable.

Non-replicability is the most important factor, because even the sources of these bloodlines do not understand how they came to possess them.

But Suifeng had just recounted the entire process of obtaining this Kekkei Genkai in front of them. Although he insisted repeatedly that it was just a coincidence, the process was a coincidence, but the result presented was not—it was an inevitability. In other words, this likely possessed a high degree of replicability.

That is terrifying.

Lava Release is an ordinary Kekkei Genkai, but it is a Kekkei Genkai nonetheless; it is naturally a level higher than ordinary ninjutsu.

The Uchiha clan already possesses the powerful Sharingan and is known as the number one clan in the ninja world. If they were to acquire a second, promotable, and universal Kekkei Genkai, there is no doubt that the clan's strength would be greatly enhanced, and the results of this enhancement would have a chain reaction.

"Suifeng, Fukuyama, let this matter end here. Neither of you is to mention it to anyone else. As for you, Suifeng, tell the outside world that you mastered Lava Release by accident. As for how you mastered it, just say you don't know. Do you understand?!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

"Also, aside from giving a copy to the clan, do not pass on the taijutsu you developed!"

"Yes!" Suifeng did not ask why and replied obediently.

"You told me last time that you wanted to learn swordsmanship?!"

"Yes, I am very interested in swordsmanship, but I feel I don't have enough time to learn it right now!"

"Hmm, that is true!"

Not to mention the taijutsu he developed himself, the Lava Release alone is enough to keep him busy studying. After all, this is the power of a Kekkei Genkai, which does not belong to the conventional power of a ninja.

"Don't worry, the clan will provide you with all the information and related ninjutsu regarding Lava Release. In addition, the clan will also begin collecting information in this area. You don't need to worry about the ninjutsu side of things."

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

"This is what you deserve!" The Great Elder's tone was as gentle as a kind old father. "Suifeng, you are a genius of our Uchiha clan. At such a young age, you have developed your own taijutsu and Kekkei Genkai. But you must remember, the foundation of our Uchiha clan is still the Sharingan. The development of the Sharingan is the top priority, do you understand?!"

"I understand!"

"After possessing the Kekkei Genkai, your chakra reserves should be at the level of a Chunin. The Chunin exams next year shouldn't be a problem for you, right?!"

"Ah?! The Chunin exams?!" Suifeng was slightly stunned and looked up. "I, can I do it?!"

"Of course you can. You are the genius who defeated Kakashi, and you have developed your own unique taijutsu. Passing the Chunin exams won't be difficult. However, before that, you still need to undergo some training!"

Need to undergo some training?!

A trace of doubt flashed through Suifeng's mind.

"Great Elder, Suifeng is only six years old and just became a Genin. Now, already...!"

"He is already a ninja, and a genius of the clan. Do you expect him to stay in the village playing ninja games all day?!" The Great Elder glanced at him. "Do not spread the word about this taijutsu. As for Suifeng possessing the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, you can show it when you have adapted to it. Let everyone know that we Uchiha are the number one clan in the ninja world, and that the geniuses of our Uchiha clan are enough to suppress an entire era!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Hearing the implication in the Great Elder's words, Fukuyama sighed inwardly. He understood the Great Elder's intentions all too well: pushing Suifeng out as a target, or rather, as a benchmark, to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the Uchiha and restore the clan's reputation.

Being pushed out makes Suifeng dangerous because he will attract all hostile gazes, but at the same time, he will also be able to obtain considerable benefits; the clan will certainly provide corresponding rewards.

The resources Suifeng is receiving now are incomparable to those of his peers; even the clan leader's son might not receive as many resources as Suifeng currently does.

In this regard, the clan is fair and impartial.

"Fukuyama, the war is not over; it is only a temporary pause. No one knows how long this ridiculous peace can last. Suifeng is already a ninja now. Once war breaks out, he will definitely be on the battlefield. If you don't want him to be cannon fodder, he must grow up as quickly as possible. Fukuyama, you are his instructor. You cannot be blindly indulgent in this regard. You can give him time, but the war will not give us time!"

"Yes!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, the Great Elder was right. The current peace in the ninja world is fragile. No one knows which spark will ignite the world, and whether it will explode. Everyone is waiting, watching, and improving their strength. A genius like Suifeng will definitely become a prime target for others during wartime. If he doesn't want to die, he must be fully prepared.

So, there is actually nothing to struggle with.
