Uchiha Yu years old and had seen far too many people with extraordinary talents.
However, compared to them, Uchiha Yu believed that the Meikyō he had personally trained was definitely no worse than those of his contemporaries.
At twelve years old, Jonin Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the combat power of a Jonin!
This is extremely rare in the entire history of the Uchiha Clan over the past thousand years, which further convinced Uchiha Yu that the future strongmen who will support the Uchiha Clan will be cultivated in his hands.
A twelve-year-old with Three-Tomoe Sharingan means there's a high probability he'll awaken the Mangekyo in the future.
In the eyes of the Uchiha Clan, their Sharingan Kekkei Genkai is the strongest bloodline in the Ninja World. Those who can develop the Sharingan to its highest Mangekyo, the Mangekyou Sharingan, must be the strongest in the Ninja World and be able to protect the clan for at least several decades.
Even if Meikyō doesn't awaken the Mangekyo, with his talent, it's not impossible for him to grow into Kage Level ninja in the traditional way.
This made Uchiha Yu pay even more attention to Meikyō's growth.
In the past, there were genius ninjas in their teens who invented advanced Ninjutsu, but it was often just one Ninjutsu, and it was likely to have certain limitations.
But Meikyō wants to create a complete system of swordsmanship on his own.
The family already has a top-notch swordsmanship lineage, so why bother with this?
Uchiha Yu didn't want to dampen Meikyō's enthusiasm, and he also knew that for a young ninja, developing his own Ninjutsu and Taijutsu was an extremely valuable experience.
However, if Meikyō's offerings fail to gain his approval, he will absolutely not allow Meikyō to waste his precious time on things that do not have a positive impact on his future.
"Although it is not perfect yet, its current power should have already surpassed the level of an ordinary Jonin."
Meikyō gripped the Nichirin Blade he brought from the Demon Slayer World, took a deep breath, and faint white steam rose from the corner of his mouth.
Absorb Natural Energy!
Chakra, refine!
Senjutsu Chakra, synthesize!
"Clang!"
With a clear, ringing sound, the Nichirin Blade was instantly drawn.
"Flame Breathing - First Form - Unknowing Fire!"
Seeing the strike that Meikyō had delivered, Uchiha Yu stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
As expected of the clan genius personally trained by Uchiha Yu, at least the high-speed burst of this move is still quite good in actual combat.
But it's only one move.
"Flame Breathing, Second Form: Ascending Blazing Flame!"
"Flame Breathing - Third Form - Fiery Phenomena!"
Uchiha Yu's expression turned serious, and he overturned his previous idea.
If the child likes it, let him study it on his own. His moves are exquisite, and even with his Sharingan, he cannot see any obvious flaws for a while. His momentum is magnificent, and he is good at both offense and defense. Judging from his power, he has already surpassed the level of an ordinary Jonin.
"Flame Breathing - Fourth Form: Blazing Vortex!"
"Flame Breathing, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!"
"Flame Breathing - Secret Technique - Ninth Form - Purgatory!"
A raging fire enveloped Meikyō's entire body. He stomped his feet repeatedly and charged forward like a meteor, unleashing a fierce roar.
With a deafening roar, the earth cracked open, the force of which startled even Uchiha Yu.
Could it be that Uchiha Meikyō was a genius not only in Sharingan and Ninjutsu, but also in swordsmanship?
However, Uchiha Yu also noticed a problem: the wind-up before the Meikyō was a bit too long. If this time could be shortened, the sword technique would be even more terrifying.
Even so, it still has considerable practical significance from the current perspective.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Uchiha ninjas rushed out from all around, staring in horror at the long and deep crack in the ground that had been slashed by the Meikyō.
"Elder Hane, Meikyō, what's going on here...?"
The Uchiha Yashiro looked at Uchiha Meikyō, who was holding a sword, with suspicion and uncertainty. They were all members of the Police Force patrolling the clan's territory. They had been attracted by the large commotion and thought something had happened in the clan's territory.
The mark on the ground was clearly made by a powerful swordsman, and the only one holding a sword in the arena was Uchiha Meikyō.
The Uchiha Yashiro found it hard to believe.
Although Meikyō was the number one genius of the Uchiha who possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of twelve, isn't it a bit exaggerated that he could perform such a technique that far exceeded the level of ordinary Jonin at this age?
"This is me passing on the sword Secret Technique that Jing left behind to Meikyō! As the elder who manages the Clan Vault, Jing passed on his unique Secret Technique to me as part of the clan's heritage. And Jing happens to be Meikyō's second grandfather. Meikyō is fully capable of learning this powerful sword technique, so I specially taught it to him."
Uchiha Yu interrupted the others who were hearing the news.
A knowing glint flashed in the eyes of the Uchiha Yashiro.
That makes sense.
Kagami Uchiha was arguably the most renowned and powerful Uchiha after Madara and Izuna, so it would make sense if he were the one who passed on his legacy.
But who would have thought that Uchiha Yu, at his age, would still possess such immense power?
"In that case, we'll take our leave now, Elder Hane."
The Uchiha Yashiro nodded to Uchiha Yu, a senior member of the clan, then looked at Uchiha Meikyō and admonished him:
"Meikyō, as the most outstanding genius in the clan and the one who will shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the clan's prestige in the future, you must not let Elder Hane down!"
"The successor I've groomed doesn't need your admonitions!" Uchiha Yu irritably, shooing the group away.
Elder Hane's successor...
Before leaving the training ground, Uchiha Yashiro glanced at Meikyō one last time.
Judging from the talent that Meikyō Jingxian has shown so far, he will definitely grow into a powerful Uchiha Jonin the future, and there is even a high probability that he will turn the title of the number one genius into the number one expert.
If he inherits Uchiha Yu's political influence within the clan in the future, he might not even have to worry about vying for the position of clan leader.
Considering the close relationship between Meikyō and Uchiha Fugaku, in the future, Uchiha Fugaku's lineage will have both the strength of the clan leader and the strongest Uchiha. In addition, Fugaku himself is also very powerful, so its influence will definitely be considerable.
Ten years later, Meikyō is in his early twenties, Fugaku will be just entering his prime.
Those elders who were still vying for power have now begun to decline from their peak...
It seems I need to consider taking sides as soon as possible.
Watching the figures of Uchiha Yashiro and the others disappear, Uchiha Yu turned to look at Meikyō, his aged face full of seriousness.
Do you know why I just said that?
"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. I am already dazzling enough. If I continue to be dazzling, I'm afraid more and more people will be eyeing me."
