Yuzhen and Obito followed behind Fugaku.
They entered his home.
In the reception room, a beautiful, gentle, black-haired woman served tea with a warm smile.
At that moment, even Fugaku's stern expression softened in the presence of this gentle woman.
He smiled warmly at everyone in the room, especially Yuzhen and Obito.
"Almost forgot to introduce you. This is my wife, Uchiha Mikoto."
At his words, Mikoto bowed politely. "Yuzhen-kun, Obito-kun, thank you for supporting Fugaku."
With that, she opened the door and left the reception room.
Uchiha Yuzhen watched all this.
He was filled with emotion.
So this was what people meant by the ideal Japanese wife!
When you were successful, they made wonderful, supportive partners.
"Enough small talk. This is the gift I'm going to give you." When Uchiha Fugaku discussed serious matters,
he was very efficient.
When it came to important matters, he could indeed be indecisive despite his careful planning.
But with small matters like this, he could act very efficiently.
At Fugaku's words, Yuzhen and Obito both looked at the table he was pointing to.
A very thick scroll lay there.
In Yuzhen's eyes,
it was only a little smaller than the Scroll of Sealing Naruto had stolen from the Hokage Office.
It seemed this was part of the Uchiha's hidden reserves.
The Senju of the Forest had been able to give
Konoha such a huge Scroll of Sealing.
As their ancient rivals for a thousand years, and with the Sharingan—a powerful copying tool—
the Uchiha's collection of ninjutsu, compared with the Senju Clan's,
could only be larger, not smaller!
"Clan Leader... what is this?" While Yuzhen was still thinking, Obito asked Fugaku directly.
Fugaku glanced at Obito's confused face and explained with a slight smile:
"These are some of the ninjutsu our Uchiha Clan has collected over the past thousand years."
"Feel free to choose anything you want to learn from this. You may pick two techniques."
"It's not that I don't want to give you more, but you'll have to earn them with further achievements!"
"That's amazing, Clan Leader!" Uchiha Obito cheered, then grabbed Yuzhen's hand. "Yuzhen-kun, let's look through it together."
Uchiha Yuzhen didn't bother with any false modesty.
He nodded solemnly and began to look through the scroll.
Unlike the Great Fireball and Phoenix Sage Fire, which were taught uniformly throughout the Uchiha Clan, or the Fire Dragon techniques,
the contents of this scroll were a real mixed bag.
After a quick glance, Yuzhen had already decided what to learn.
As for Fire Style,
he only needed to specialize in the Uchiha's traditional ninjutsu.
The Fire Style favored by the Ninja World's ancient clans couldn't possibly be weak.
The Great Fireball Technique and its "compassion" and whatnot...
Since he'd crossed over and started living in this reality, they were just memes.
The [Wind Style (White)] Affix on his panel
had already shown that his chakra nature was Wind.
"Lord Fugaku, I want to learn this technique, and this one too!"
Uchiha Fugaku raised his brows.
He looked a little surprised.
"Yuzhen-kun, I can understand why you want Wind Style: Pressure Damage. That's your other chakra nature."
"But... the Uchiha Flame Formation is a very difficult barrier technique. You'll need some knowledge of Sealing Jutsu to use it!"
Uchiha Yuzhen nodded in agreement.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he replied cheerfully:
"You're right, Lord Fugaku..."
"But the Jonin leading Obito and me is Namikaze Minato!"
"His new wife is from the Uzumaki Clan... right?"
"Ah..." Uchiha Fugaku understood what the boy was planning and shook his head with an amused smile. "Clever kid. All right, then."
"For the next few days, come to my house regularly and memorize the relevant knowledge for these techniques."
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
At a Training Ground far from Konoha,
Uchiha Yuzhen formed the hand seals for Fire Style.
With a Tiger Seal to finish,
he gathered chakra in his mouth.
Then he spat it out!
[Fire Style: Searing Migraine]
A small fireball shot from Yuzhen's mouth at incredible speed, hurtling toward the lake beside the Training Ground.
The instant it hit the surface, the fireball spread into a sea of flames.
And that wasn't all.
Yuzhen had already started forming more hand seals while the small fireball was flying.
[Wind Style: Pressure Damage]
A ball of highly compressed wind, like a natural disaster, met the sea of flames in that instant.
Flames and gales danced together.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, enormous waves surged across the small lake, and a terrifying heat wave swept out with scalding steam.
Destruction rained down over the entire area covered by the ninjutsu!
"Th-that's amazing! Yuzhen-kun, you're so strong!" Obito was practicing Tree Climbing nearby. At the sight of such destructive power, his mouth fell open.
He rarely admired anyone, but at that moment, he truly acknowledged this new clanmate.
Yuzhen's talent was greater than his own!
He and Yuzhen-kun had learned Searing Migraine around the same time.
Looking at the destruction Yuzhen could cause with ninjutsu now,
then looking at himself,
he was still struggling to control his chakra as he practiced Tree Climbing and Water Surface Walking, the techniques Yuzhen had taught him.
He'd only just managed to climb a tree.
"Phew... don't worry about it, Obito," Yuzhen said, taking a deep breath and steadying himself after expending so much chakra.
"Once you awaken your Sharingan, all of this will come easily." He answered Obito's amazement with a smile.
Before Obito turned dark, he was still a very easy person to get along with.
Unlike Yuzhen, who had chosen Pressure Damage and the Uchiha Flame Formation,
Obito had chosen—
Searing Migraine and Great Dragon Fire Technique.
Great Fire Annihilation and Great Fire Destruction
hadn't appeared on that scroll.
That made sense. Those were already secret Uchiha Fire Style techniques.
They definitely wouldn't casually teach them to the two of them.
That lunatic Itachi had once said...
the power of Fire Style depended on the user's ability, not the technique's rank.
But the Great Fireball and Great Fire Annihilation, even when fueled by the same amount of chakra,
would produce completely different results!
A technique that could be considered a trump card in conventional combat would have to wait. He'd find a way to learn it later.
Still, the reason he had grown so quickly over the past few days
was entirely
the Combat Points he'd received after defeating Uchiha Inabi that day.
As a fairly well-known clan genius, Inabi had the strength of a Special Jonin.
If Yuzhen hadn't used Naruto's tactics that day,
he would probably have lost once Inabi figured out what he was doing.
Special Jonin were different from Chunin.
They had already reached Jonin level in certain areas,
earning them the prestigious title.
But the system judged them as Jonin outright.
The Combat Points it awarded were calculated at the Jonin level.
Combat Points were rewards the system gave based on the rank of the enemy defeated.
They could be spent to upgrade Affixes.
The system's rankings were:
Genin: 1 point Chunin: 10 points Jonin: 100 points Kage: 1,000 points Super Kage: 10,000 points Six Paths level: 100,000 points
Upgrading Affixes was simple too.
White to Green: 10 points Green to Blue: 100 points
And so on.
White was the lowest rank, equivalent to Genin; red was the highest, equivalent to Six Paths.
He'd used the 100 points he got for defeating Inabi
to upgrade [Fire Style (White)], [Wind Style (White)], and [Uchiha Style (White)]
to green!
Then something miraculous happened.
Once his foundation had reached this level,
[Genius (Gold)] and [Uchiha (Purple)] worked together to help him even more.
Over the course of five days,
those two Affixes had worked their magic.
Through his "diligent" training, the green-ranked Affixes
had risen from green to blue.
And so,
his panel
had become what it was now.
