Radioactive Great Fireball

"This level of Great Fireball..."

Uchiha Fugaku stared intently for a long while without speaking. At last, his gaze fell on You, and he let out a long breath.

Compared to Fugaku's, his Great Fireball was undoubtedly much smaller. After all, there was a gulf between a jonin and him.

But You's Great Fireball was already enormous. He was only seven or eight years old; possessing the strength of a genin at that age would already make him a genius.

Yet that Great Fireball had clearly surpassed the scope of a genin. It had reached a terrifying level.

"A Great Fireball comparable to a chunin's, and its flames are extremely hot. Its destructive power is immense."

Several dead fish had appeared on the lake's surface. They had been caught up in the Great Fireball's effects.

"Cough, cough!"

"My throat feels like it's about to catch fire. Recklessly using an oversized Great Fireball has a huge effect on the body!"

You only wanted some water to ease the dryness in his throat. This was his first time following systematic training, and as long as he handled the details properly, his Great Fireball would improve dramatically.

"The results are surprisingly good."

He could feel that the Great Fireball's improvement was not limited to its temperature. It was mixed with uranium elements as well, and those erupting uranium elements had entered the lake water, causing the fish to die.

The Great Fireball, which could not kill anyone in Naruto, had become a Radiation Great Fireball in his hands. Even if it failed to hit an opponent, the splattered uranium elements could still damage the enemy's cells.

He could now confirm that his Fire Release contained radioactive elements. He would need to be more careful when using it in the future.

He touched the lake water with his hand and absorbed the dispersed elements within. He did not want to turn the lake into a pool of dead water.

"In terms of Fire Release, you can be called a genius. Among all the ninjas I know, no one your age can surpass you."

There was a hint of envy in Fugaku's eyes. With such talent and taijutsu, You's future was bound to be bright. Hopefully, he could bring about Uchiha's next great revival.

But there was no jealousy in his eyes. After all, he was a genius too. While the other was improving, Fugaku was improving as well!

"You can come here every day to train in Fire Release ninjutsu. I'll guide you."

The news that a genius had appeared in the Uchiha Clan could not be kept hidden.

Some were delighted, while others worried.

After learning of Uchiha Yū's talent, Uchiha He let out a long breath. Fortunately, he had eased the conflict between them and offered some compensation for what You had suffered over the years.

"Fortunately, I didn't push You to the opposite side of the Uchiha Clan."

He was the most senior member of the Uchiha Clan. He had once studied under Uchiha Madara, but due to certain irresistible circumstances, the Uchiha Clan had not followed Uchiha Madara when he left.

This was the main reason conflict had erupted between the Uchiha Clan and the village, as well as the reason for the Uchiha Clan's decline.

Seeing such a talented individual emerge, Uchiha He was sincerely delighted.

"Have Fugaku teach him properly and make him acknowledge the Uchiha Clan."

"Yes, Clan Head."

Meanwhile, Qianxishou had been closely following Uchiha Yū's situation. Especially recently, as his body recovered, his strength had experienced explosive growth.

"As expected, my observations were correct."

"We need to raise our assessment of Uchiha Yū's talent another level. We must make him join the ANBU and become the sharpest blade in Lord Danzō's hand!"

The turmoil surrounding Uchiha Yū remained among the village's upper ranks and did not affect You.

He was indeed a genius, but he was still far too young. The Ninja Academy had been established by the Second Hokage to cultivate ninjas, and before he graduated, everyone would abide by this rule.

If such a genius were lost, it would be a tremendous loss to both the village and the clan.

"Click, click, click!"

The door opened, and the Third Hokage sat in the middle, smoking.

"Third Hokage, these are this year's student records."

Qianshu was filled with excitement. Reporting on the students this time was also an opportunity to prove his capabilities to the Third Hokage.

He, Qianshu, was a qualified teacher!

"Qianshu, retirement seems to have put some weight on you."

Noticing the documents placed before him, Sarutobi chatted casually as he opened them and asked questions one by one.

However, most of his questions concerned Kushina. As the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, Kushina's every move was tied to future plans and would determine her future.

Fortunately, according to Qianshu's report, Kushina's emotions had remained stable, and there were no signs of the Nine-Tails erupting.

Then there was Kushina's little boyfriend. He could be considered a genius, and the two of them were both genius ninjas of the village who required focused cultivation.

"Hmm? This child!"

When the Third Hokage turned to the final page and saw the name written there, he sighed.

"The Uchiha Clan truly is full of talented people."

"You? I've heard of this child before. He wasn't well regarded within the Uchiha Clan."

"I remember that in the report you gave me last year, his condition was terrible. To put it harshly, he might very well have died in last winter."

He knew a little about You, but what he felt more than anything was pity. Although You was an Uchiha, he had never received any care from the Uchiha Clan.

Yet he had struggled against illness like a tenacious blade of grass.

Now that he had recovered, was it because of Tsunade?

He had asked Tsunade to treat him, never expecting the healed Uchiha Yū to reveal his genius.

He could use him as a bridge and cultivate him into the next Uchiha Kagami.

The thought gave the Third Hokage a headache. The Uchiha Clan's position within the village was extremely awkward.

As a powerful clan renowned throughout the ninja world, it had produced many talented and powerful ninjas.

Unfortunately, their temperament was simply too troublesome, and they were prone to acting impulsively.

The Uchiha Clan was more like Konoha's double-edged sword. It could wound enemies, but it could wound its wielder as well. One mishandling could plunge the village into enormous difficulties.

"It's enough if this child can survive."

The Third Hokage took a drag from his pipe. As though he had made up his mind, he looked up at Qianshu standing beside him and assigned him a task.

"You's childhood was unfortunate, but from now on, the village will give him a sense of belonging. I'm entrusting this task to you."

"Qianshu, you must complete it."

"Yes! Lord Hokage."

But Qianshu, with his head lowered, could only smile bitterly.

He still remembered the answer from the first lesson. The Will of Fire could not save him.

That had left him speechless at the time.

Since it was the Third Hokage's task, Qianshu would complete it with everything he had!

In addition, the Third Hokage needed to find them a squad leader. Every squad leader was of utmost importance in a ninja's life.

Since he intended to cultivate You into the Hokage faction and maintain the Uchiha Clan's current situation, only one of his own people could become You's teacher.
