System Rewards: Two-Tomoe Sharingan and Lightning Release, Complete Basic Lightning Release Ninjutsu Collection!

The night was as dark as ink, and the Uchiha Clan Compound was silent.

Inside Uchiha Yao's room.

He sat cross-legged on the tatami, his eyes gently closed as his consciousness had long since sunk into the mysterious system space deep within his mind.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host. Your status has been promoted! Squad Leader of the Uchiha Police Force!

Rating: Major Promotion!

Calculating rewards...

Congratulations, Host, on receiving generous rewards!

A string of cold system notifications rang out in Yao's mind like heavenly music.

Uchiha Yao's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Squad Leader! Within the Uchiha Police Force, this already counted as a mid-level position with considerable authority.

The system had rated it as a "Major Promotion." The rewards definitely would not disappoint him!

Reward One: Sharingan Evolution—Two-Tomoe Sharingan!

Boom!

It was as though a thunderclap had exploded inside his mind!

Uchiha Yao felt an icy, majestic, mysterious force surge into his eyes like a flood bursting through a dam!

An indescribable scorching pain came from within his eye sockets!

Uchiha Yao endured the discomfort as his crimson pupils, which had originally held only a single tomoe, underwent an earth-shaking transformation!

The original tomoe seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly rotating and splitting...

One became two!

Two ink-black tomoe floated symmetrically within his crimson eyes, radiating a deeper, more sinister light than before!

The system notification sounded again the next moment:

Congratulations, Host, on obtaining "Sharingan Evolution: Two-tomoe Sharingan"!

Insight greatly increased!

Copying ability greatly increased!

Genjutsu ability slightly increased!

Genjutsu resistance greatly increased!

Uchiha Yao abruptly opened his eyes!

In an instant, the entire world looked utterly different through his eyes!

Uchiha Yao could feel that his dynamic vision had increased several times over!

If the One-Tomoe Sharingan made the world "high-definition," then the Two-tomoe Sharingan brought the world into "slow motion" and "ultra-high-definition" mode!

"So this is... the power of Two-Tomoe?"

Uchiha Yao muttered, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

However, the surprises were not over yet!

Reward Two: Lightning Release Chakra Nature Mastery!

The moment the words fell, a completely different Chakra energy suddenly emerged within his body!

This Chakra was filled with a violent aura. It did not conflict with the Fire Release Chakra already in his body, yet it carried a unique numbing sensation and penetrating power!

Crackle...

Several faint blue arcs of electricity even flickered uncontrollably from Uchiha Yao's fingertips!

Congratulations, Host, on obtaining "Lightning Release Chakra Nature Mastery"!

The Host's understanding and use of Lightning Release Ninjutsu have instantly reached the mastery level!

Bonus: Complete Basic Lightning Release Ninjutsu Collection, C-rank to B-rank!

A massive flood of information poured into Uchiha Yao's mind like a tide!

Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!

Lightning Release: Lightning Run!

Lightning Release: Earth Run!

Lightning Release: Lightning Clone!

The hand seals, Chakra circulation methods, and practical combat techniques of countless Lightning Release Ninjutsu were instantly absorbed, understood, and fully integrated by him, as though enlightenment had been poured directly into his mind!

"Lightning Release..."

A sharp gleam burst from Uchiha Yao's eyes!

In the world of Naruto, Lightning Release was renowned for its formidable piercing power and attack speed, making it an exceptionally powerful offensive nature!

Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Cutter, Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori and Kirin—each was a powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu that had shaken the Shinobi World!

Uchiha Yao tried to mobilize the newly born Lightning Release Chakra within him.

He extended his right hand, spread his fingers, and gathered Lightning Release Chakra in his palm.

Crackle—!

A ball of dazzling blue electricity rapidly gathered and compressed in his palm, letting out a piercing shriek!

"This form... could it be..."

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

Chidori!

Though it was still only in its infancy, unstable and far from possessing the power of a true Chidori.

This technique of highly shaping Lightning Release Chakra was undoubtedly the foundation of Chidori!

"As long as I combine it with the Sharingan's insight and perform a high-speed thrust..."

Uchiha Yao's breathing became somewhat rapid.

He had never expected the system to let him directly master Lightning Release and even gift him so many Lightning Release Ninjutsu!

This meant his combat methods would become more diverse and even harder to predict!

The explosive force and area damage of Fire Release, combined with the piercing power and speed of Lightning Release...

Uchiha Yao could even faintly sense some kind of wonderful resonance between Fire Release Chakra and Lightning Release Chakra.

"Compound Ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Yao's heart stirred.

If he could perfectly fuse Fire Release and Lightning Release, then its power...

He did not dare imagine it!

The rewards for this promotion to Squad Leader were simply too generous!

Two-tomoe Sharingan!

Lightning Release Chakra Nature Mastery!

These two rewards had directly brought his strength through another qualitative leap!

The strength assessment on the Status Panel had also leaped from the peak of Elite Chunin straight into the ranks of Quasi-Jonin!

Moreover, with the powerful insight of the Two-tomoe Sharingan and the advantages of dual Fire and Lightning natures, Uchiha Yao was confident that he could fight even a true Jonin!

"System, show me my Status Panel," Uchiha Yao silently said in his mind.

Uchiha Yao's Status Panel

Strength: Quasi-Jonin

Mastered Skills: Complete Fire Release Ninjutsu Mastery (Beginner), Lightning Release Chakra Nature Mastery (all basic Lightning Release Ninjutsu below B-rank mastered), Sharingan (Two-Tomoe; enhanced insight, copying, and genjutsu abilities), Chidori Prototype (incomplete) (some basic ninjutsu hidden)

Clan Status: Squad Leader of the Uchiha Police Force

Clan Honor Points: 785 points (new Honor Points for the Squad Leader promotion have not yet been calculated and must be demonstrated through subsequent actions)

Clan Overall Strength Assessment: Chunin-level (extremely high)

Looking at the completely renewed Status Panel, Uchiha Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"Quasi-Jonin..."

At this level of strength, he already counted as a core fighting force in present-day Konoha.

Especially with the Uchiha Clan generally being suppressed and the younger generation lacking successors, his status as a twelve-year-old Quasi-Jonin made him an exceptionally rare talent!

"But it still isn't enough."

Uchiha Yao's gaze narrowed slightly.

He knew well that after the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha Clan's situation would only grow more difficult.

Danzo's covetous gaze, the Third Hokage's suspicion and vigilance, and the impending Night of the Clan Annihilation...

He had to grow stronger at an even faster pace!

Stronger than anyone else!

Strong enough to crush every scheme and conspiracy, strong enough to trample all those so-called "higher-ups" beneath his feet!

"The fusion of Lightning Release and Fire Release must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"And Chidori must be perfected quickly as well."

Uchiha Yao began calmly considering his next training plan.

Growing too quickly would likely attract certain people's attention, especially that old dog Danzo.

His rise would inevitably draw Danzo's hostility, perhaps even assassination attempts.

But he could no longer worry about that.

He had to possess sufficient strength before the Night of the Clan Annihilation, or death would be unavoidable.

In this world where strength reigned supreme, only absolute power was the foundation for survival!
