Self-Created S-rank Ninjutsu: Lightning Fire Dragon Breath

Several days later, the Uchiha Clan's regular high-level meeting was held in the council hall at the center of the clan grounds.

Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku sat upright in the seat of honor.

Below him sat the Uchiha Clan elders and the core leadership of the Police Force.

As the meeting was nearing its end,

Uchiha Tekka suddenly spoke up.

"Clan Head, esteemed elders, I have a proposal!"

"Uchiha Yao has performed exceptionally well in the Police Force! He possesses strength and command ability far beyond those of his peers!"

"I believe that a genius like Yao should be granted greater authority and more resources, so he can cultivate more young clansmen!"

Clearly, the Hawk Faction intended to win Uchiha Yao over and give him more authority.

Their goal was to make him fully align himself with the Hawk Faction.

At that moment, Uchiha Gen, an elder of the Dove Faction beside them, suddenly snorted and said,

"Tekka, that is not right!"

"Uchiha Yao has indeed performed well. But he is only twelve, is he not? At that age, he is still unfit for such a heavy responsibility."

"I believe we should wait a few more years before promoting him! It is still too early!"

"Elder Gen, that is not right either."

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw that Uchiha Yao had somehow risen from his seat at the far end.

Uchiha Yao had attended this meeting as well, but due to his lack of seniority, he had been sitting quietly in an inconspicuous corner.

"Elder Gen, times have changed."

"Our Uchiha Clan is surrounded by powerful enemies outside, while internal conflicts run deep!"

"The shadow of the Nine-Tails' attack has yet to fade! The village leadership's suspicion and vigilance toward us grow by the day!"

"The fangs of Root have reached toward us more than once!"

"Under such circumstances, if we do not break with convention and promote young people who truly possess strength and can bring hope to the clan, what kind of future awaits us?!"

"Will we continue to be marginalized? Imprisoned in some corner of the village, barely clinging to life?"

Deep agreement had already appeared in the eyes of several young Police Force executives.

They had long been dissatisfied with the clan's conservative policies.

Uchiha Yao's words had undoubtedly voiced their thoughts!

Seeing this, Uchiha Tekka immediately seized the opportunity and echoed, "Yao is right! Clan Head, esteemed elders! The clan is in grave danger. We must change! We must give the younger generation a chance!"

"I propose that Uchiha Yao take charge of part of the Police Force's training! With his abilities, he will certainly be able to greatly improve the overall strength of our younger generation!"

Elder Gen wanted to argue further. He opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

Everyone's gaze focused on Uchiha Fugaku.

He was the Uchiha Clan Head. The final decision rested in Uchiha Fugaku's hands.

After a long silence, Uchiha Fugaku finally spoke.

"Yao's strength is indeed impressive."

Fugaku first acknowledged Uchiha Yao.

Delight flashed through Tekka's eyes.

"However, training clansmen is no easy task. It requires not only strength, but also experience and management ability."

Fugaku changed direction.

"Let us do this."

"Is there not an unused training ground within the clan? Give it to Yao to manage."

"Let him select a group of people first and see what results he can achieve."

"If he truly manages to cultivate talent, then we can consider expanding the scale and having him take charge of more training matters."

"Thank you for your trust, Clan Head." Uchiha Yao gave a slight bow. "Yao will not fail in his duty!"

Over the next few days,

Uchiha Yao used the system to conduct a "loyalty check" on all eligible Police Force members.

Only those with over 70% loyalty to the clan and over 60% loyalty to him could be selected for Uchiha Yao's training camp.

In the end, Uchiha Yao selected twenty qualified Police Force members to join the training camp. As for those whose loyalty was insufficient, he could only apologize.

Uchiha Yao drew up a series of training plans. Rin, Zhe, and Kai took turns handling the basic drills, while he devoted more of his energy to developing his own ninjutsu.

The training ground was a complete mess.

The ground was covered in craters of varying depths. Some had charred edges, while others still crackled with lingering arcs of electricity.

Uchiha Yao panted heavily, sweat soaking his short black hair as several strands clung to his forehead.

"Still not enough..."

Uchiha Yao muttered under his breath, his brow tightly furrowed.

Ever since mastering the nature transformations of Lightning Release and Fire Release, Uchiha Yao had been attempting to fuse the Chakra of these two attributes on a higher level.

Clan Growth System, purchase advanced theory regarding Chakra Nature fusion.

Yao silently called out in his mind.

5000 Clan Honor Points deducted.

In an instant, an immense amount of profound theory—far beyond the conventional understanding of the Shinobi World—poured into Yao's mind like a torrent.

Yao sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, absorbing this incomparably precious knowledge.

He continuously simulated various fusion methods in his mind.

Time passed, second by second.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yao opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing within them!

Uchiha Yao extended his right hand, palm facing upward.

Sizzle!

Pale-blue Lightning Release Chakra appeared first.

Whoosh!

Then crimson Fire Release Chakra surged forth, radiating astonishing heat.

"Now!"

Yao's gaze sharpened as he controlled the two types of Chakra, making them spin and compress at high speed in his palm through an incredibly intricate and mysterious method!

The Chakra output ratio, rotational speed, and compression force all had to be controlled with absolute precision!

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

A piercing sound of energy friction rang out. The Chakra of the two attributes clashed violently in his palm, as though it might explode at any moment!

Fine beads of sweat seeped across Uchiha Yao's forehead, and his face grew slightly pale from the massive Chakra consumption.

Yet he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Uchiha Yao could feel it—he was only a little short!

Just a little more, and he could break through that barrier!

"Condense...!"

Uchiha Yao let out a fierce roar, and the Chakra within his body surged forth wildly without reservation!

Hummm—!

A peculiar hum rang out!

After reaching a certain critical point, the lightning-fire Chakra in Uchiha Yao's palm miraculously stabilized!

No longer did they repel each other. Instead, they intertwined perfectly and fused together!

They formed a ball of blazing white energy, with flashes of Lightning Light faintly flickering within it!

The aura radiating from this sphere of energy was far more terrifying than either Lightning Release or Fire Release alone!

"Success!"

A trace of delight flashed through Uchiha Yao's eyes.

He could feel the terrifying power contained within this mass of energy!

He tried pushing the energy forward along the trajectory he had envisioned!

"Lightning Fire Dragon Breath!"

Roar—!

It was as if a dragon had cried out!

The blazing white sphere instantly transformed into a thick beam of blazing white light, mixed with countless tiny electric serpents, and roared forward!

Its power had already reached the threshold of an S-rank Ninjutsu!

Just as Uchiha Yao was thrilled by the power of his self-created ninjutsu, an unexpected change occurred!

"Urgh!"

A piercing pain shot through Uchiha Yao's right hand, followed by an intense feeling of numbness!

His entire right arm seemed to lose all sensation in an instant and dropped limply at his side!

"This is... backlash?"

"Is the power too great? Is my body's strength still unable to keep up?"

But this only proved the power of Lightning Fire Dragon Breath!

An S-rank Ninjutsu had been successfully developed!

"Looks like I still need to further optimize the Chakra's circulation path and improve my body's adaptability to this fused energy."

"My physical strength has to keep up as well!"
