Innovative Ninjutsu!

Back at the clan, Uchiha Ying knew full well that to be an outstanding ninja, knowing only ninjutsu was far from enough. He had to master a full range of skills, including taijutsu.

"I can't rely solely on ninjutsu. Training in taijutsu is just as important." Uchiha Ying silently made up his mind.

Thus, he began rigorously training his body. Combining the Uchiha Clan's inherited unique techniques and experience, he eventually created an astonishing A-rank Nintaijutsu—the Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist.

This Nintaijutsu required no chakra of any attribute, yet it contained limitless power.

One characteristic of the Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist was its unmatched ferocity. Its punches were like a tiger descending the mountain, immensely powerful, with every blow gathering tremendous force capable of delivering a devastating impact to an enemy.

In fierce battles, Uchiha Ying often relied on this fist technique to smash through an enemy's sturdy defenses in one strike and deal them a fatal blow.

"Watch my Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist!" Uchiha Ying shouted during training. His fist crashed into a wooden post with a howling gust of wind, instantly shattering it to pieces.

"The power of that fist technique is truly astonishing!" an Uchiha clansman watching nearby exclaimed.

Uchiha Ying smiled in response. "I still need more practice to make it even stronger."

Furthermore, the Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist had another unique feature: the Spiral Force it produced.

This force carried rotational power, giving the punches greater piercing force while also expanding their attack range.

When he came into contact with an enemy, Uchiha Ying could instantly concentrate his strength at a single point and break through the enemy's defenses at an astonishing speed.

"This Spiral Force is truly incredible. It leaves enemies unable to defend themselves," Uchiha Ying said while seeking guidance from an elder of the clan.

The elder nodded approvingly. "Creating such a unique Nintaijutsu makes you the pride of the clan. But you must continue studying it and make it even more perfect."

The moment this Nintaijutsu was created, it caused quite a stir in the ninja world. Countless ninjas were filled with curiosity and awe toward it.

With the Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist, Uchiha Ying repeatedly achieved remarkable feats in battle and became a hero in people's eyes.

His name began spreading throughout the ninja world, making other ninjas see him in a new light.

"Have you heard? Uchiha Ying's Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist is incredibly powerful!" "Yeah, so many experts have fallen to that fist technique of his." The ninjas discussed it in private.

Uchiha Ying's punches were like a tiger descending the mountain, incomparably fierce. They also carried a unique rotational force that could easily break through an enemy's defenses.

This fist technique was not only astonishingly powerful but also incredibly fast, making it difficult to withstand.

During one duel against a powerful enemy, his opponent used a formidable Earth Release technique to raise a thick earthen wall, attempting to block Uchiha Ying's attack.

"Hmph, you think a dirt wall can stop me? Not a chance!" Uchiha Ying shouted.

However, Uchiha Ying did not retreat. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Spiral Qi Twin Tiger Fist. Chakra surged over both fists as he slammed them fiercely into the earthen wall, carrying spiraling force.

A tremendous crash rang out, and the earthen wall instantly collapsed as dust flew everywhere.

The opponent was stunned by such overwhelming power, an expression of shock appearing on his face.

"Your fist technique... it's terrifying!" the opponent exclaimed.

They had never expected their proud Earth Release technique to be so easily broken by Uchiha Ying.

Uchiha Ying's strength was proven once again, and his reputation grew even louder because of it.

Uchiha Ying was a ninja with chakra of three attributes: fire, lightning, and wind.

He could flexibly employ these types of chakra according to the situation and unleash even greater power.

"Fire Release can attack enemies over a wide area. Lightning Release is fast, and Wind Release can enhance an attack's cutting power. I need to make good use of them," Uchiha Ying thought as he trained.

The combination of his ninjutsu and taijutsu made him even more unpredictable in battle, leaving his enemies unable to guard against him.

Uchiha Qin walked to the courtyard gate and gazed at the snowflakes drifting down from the sky, her eyes full of tenderness and joy.

She gently curled her lips into a smile and called into the house to Uchiha Inabi, "It's snowing, honey."

Hearing her voice, Uchiha Inabi came over and stood beside Qin. Looking at the snow fluttering throughout the sky, a trace of warmth appeared in his eyes as well.

He reached out and wrapped an arm around Qin's shoulders, saying softly, "This snow is beautiful. Just like our lives—though there are storms, there are also moments as peaceful and lovely as this."

Qin leaned lightly against Inabi, feeling his warmth. "Yes, this snow seems to have draped the world in a white veil. Do you remember when we first got together? It was a snowy day just like this."

Inabi's thoughts were drawn back to the past, to that snow-filled day full of memories.

"Of course I remember. Back then, we carried hopes for the future as we walked through the snow, as if the entire world belonged only to the two of us."

They stood quietly at the courtyard gate, watching the snow fall and reminiscing over every little moment from the past.

Snowflakes settled on their shoulders, as if telling the story of the passing years.

In the distance, Uchiha Ying's laughter drifted over, breaking the tranquility. Qin smiled and said, "Come on, let's go play in the snow with Ying."

Uchiha Ying saw his mother, Uchiha Qin, acting like a child, and found her incredibly adorable.

She danced gracefully in the snow, while the hazy mist seemed to lend the scene a touch of mystery.

"Mom, your dancing is so beautiful!" Uchiha Ying praised.

Uchiha Qin began performing a dance of the Uchiha Clan. Her figure was light and graceful, like a spirit among the snowflakes.

Uchiha Ying watched quietly, his heart filled with warmth.

He had never seen his mother so relaxed and joyful. At that moment, all worries seemed to be scattered by the snow and her dance.

"Mom, you dance so well. I want to be like you someday too," Uchiha Ying said.

As the dance continued, light gleamed in Uchiha Qin's eyes—the light of her love for life and pride in her clan.

Her movements were smooth yet powerful. Every turn and every leap brimmed with rhythm.

Snowflakes landed in her hair and upon her shoulders, as though adorning her dance.

Uchiha Ying was deeply captivated by his mother's dance. It was as though he could see the glorious history of the Uchiha Clan unfolding before his eyes.

It had been an age of glory and challenges, and now, on this tranquil snowy night, his mother's dance allowed him to feel the clan's heritage and strength.

Gradually, the dance drew to an end. Uchiha Qin slowly came to a stop, a satisfied smile on her face. She looked at Uchiha Ying, her eyes filled with maternal love.

"Ying, no matter what the future brings, we must cherish the present and protect our clan."

Uchiha Ying nodded in response. "Mom, I will. I'll work hard to make the clan even stronger."

Not to be outdone, Uchiha Inabi, the clan head and father, picked up a short blade. As he wielded it, his movements flowed like moving clouds and running water, fully displaying his Kage-level strength.

At thirty-five, he was in the prime of his life, and every movement was filled with strength and confidence.

The blade's glint flashed amid the snowflakes like lightning tearing through the night sky, leaving brilliant trails behind.

"Wow, Dad is amazing!" Uchiha Ying exclaimed.

His gaze was firm and sharp, as though it could pierce through the vast white snow and see the road ahead.

As he moved, the short blade seemed to come alive, becoming one with him.

Snowflakes drifted down in abundance, yet none could draw near his body, as though an invisible force blocked them.

Uchiha Ying and Uchiha Qin watched quietly, their eyes full of admiration.

They knew well that Uchiha Inabi was not merely a clan head, but also their pillar and role model.

Through his actions, he embodied the Uchiha Clan's glory and responsibility.

When the dance of the blade ended, Uchiha Inabi sheathed it and stood still, his breathing steady. Looking at his wife and son, a pleased smile appeared on his face.

"Ying, remember this: no matter when it is, you must maintain this courage and resolve. The glory of our Uchiha Clan requires all of us to protect it together."

Uchiha Ying nodded solemnly, a powerful sense of mission rising in his heart.

"Father, I definitely will. I'll work hard to become as strong as you," Uchiha Ying said firmly.

"Ying, my son, I give you the short blade in my hand. I hope you will bring out its power."

"Its name is Flowing Cloud. It can conduct chakra and was forged by a master of the Land of Iron using a special material purchased at great expense, accounting for forty percent of its composition."

"I officially appoint you as the young clan head," Uchiha Inabi said.

Uchiha Ying solemnly accepted the short blade, feeling the faint coolness and heavy weight coming from its body.

Excitement and determination gleamed in his eyes. "Father, I will not disappoint your expectations. I will make Flowing Cloud shine with its own brilliance in my hands and fight for the clan's glory."

"Good son. I believe you can do it," Uchiha Inabi encouraged him.

The snow continued to drift down in abundance. Uchiha Ying gripped Flowing Cloud tightly, as though he were holding a responsibility and mission in his hand.

He closed his eyes and felt the power contained within the blade, imagining himself wielding Flowing Cloud across the battlefield and sweeping aside all opposition.

Uchiha Qin looked at the father and son, her eyes filled with relief and pride.

She walked forward and gently stroked Uchiha Ying's hair. "Ying, remember that becoming the young clan head is not merely an honor. It is also a heavy responsibility. You must always put the clan's interests first and protect our people."

Uchiha Ying nodded. "Mother, I understand. I will protect the clan with my life and make the Uchiha Clan's name ring throughout the ninja world once more."

"We believe in you, Ying," Uchiha Qin said gently.
