Born with Great Love, Uchiha

[Evaluation: Logia · Limited Edition · Goro Goro no Mi!]

Uchiha Minamoto slowly raised his left hand.

Lightning burst forth.

Uchiha Minamoto's left hand broke apart inch by inch, turning into a dazzling mass of lightning that gathered and scattered. High-energy arcs lashed the air with incessant crackling, like ten thousand birds chirping together.

"It doesn't really look like [Partial Lightning Release Transformation Technique]. It actually looks a little more like [Chidori]..."

Uchiha Minamoto swept his right hand past his waist, and a short sword appeared in his grip.

Holding the sword in his right hand, he swung it toward his left.

The gleaming, razor-sharp blade passed through his left palm as though cutting through air, meeting no resistance whatsoever.

"So it really is a 'limited edition' Goro Goro no Mi!"

Satisfied, Uchiha Minamoto stopped testing the jutsu, and his left hand immediately returned to normal.

His palm was clean and smooth, without a single scratch.

"Now that's a lifesaving trump card!"

Uchiha Minamoto turned to examine his own status panel.

Overall evaluation: Special Jōnin

With the help of [Thunder Breathing].

Uchiha Minamoto had raised his [Life energy strength] to C-rank in just one week.

And his [One-Tomoe Sharingan] had brought his [Mental Energy strength] up to C-rank as well.

His chakra strength had naturally followed suit.

Before he worked out [Partial Lightning Release Transformation Technique], Uchiha Minamoto's [Overall evaluation] had only been "veteran Chunin."

With just this one jutsu.

Uchiha Minamoto's overall evaluation had reached "Special Jōnin."

"If I had to find someone to compare myself to, my current level should be roughly equivalent to..."

"Hozuki Suigetsu?"

"I've still got a long way to go!"

Uchiha Minamoto put away his short sword.

This was the chakra weapon he had previously commissioned Cat Granny to forge-

The A-rank ninja tool [Short Sword: Lightning Maru].

This short sword conducted Lightning Release chakra exceptionally well, making it an almost perfect fit for Uchiha Minamoto's current abilities.

Short could be strong too~

[Lightning Doppelganger]!

Uchiha Minamoto created a clone.

"Again?"

The moment the Lightning Doppelganger appeared, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Are you seriously treating me like Obito Uchiha?"

Because of its special, incorporeal nature.

There wasn't much a [Lightning Doppelganger] could do.

Just as mentioned before-

A [Lightning Doppelganger] could provide every kind of support except actual support.

But Uchiha Minamoto had recently developed a new use for [Lightning Doppelganger].

A [Lightning Doppelganger] was intangible.

Obito Uchiha's "Kamui" was intangible too.

Didn't that make [Lightning Doppelganger] the equivalent of a "mini Kamui"?

Ahem...

All right.

Uchiha Minamoto was actually using [Lightning Doppelganger] as an imaginary training opponent.

"Hurry up!"

Uchiha Minamoto urged him.

"You don't want me dying on the night of the massacre either, do you?"

"That line again..."

The Lightning Doppelganger sighed.

"Kid, you've fit right into Konoha's environment."

Uchiha Minamoto fought the Lightning Doppelganger to his heart's content in the training room.

By the time he finished testing all his abilities and came out, it was nearly noon.

After he quickly finished lunch and headed to Training Ground Seven, quite a few people had already gathered there.

Black hair, black eyes, high-collared clothes across the board, and that signature Red-and-White Gunbai emblem.

Everyone on the training ground was a ninja of the Uchiha Clan!

It was the weekend.

The day of the "Ninjutsu Exchange Meeting" Uchiha Minamoto had previously mentioned.

"Senior Minamoto!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Uchiha Izumi spotted him and immediately called out a greeting.

"You're finally here! Come over, everyone's waiting for you!"

Seeing that the man himself had arrived, the other Uchiha all turned their gazes toward him.

Some curious, some doubtful, some indifferent, some admiring...

Because of the special nature of the ninja profession.

Even within the same clan, a "Ninjutsu Exchange Meeting" like today's was extremely rare.

What was more.

The Uchiha's pride and arrogance were known to practically everyone.

But there was no getting around it.

What Uchiha Minamoto had brought out was the [Great Fireball Technique]!

The Uchiha Clan could not lose the [Great Fireball Technique], just as the Senju Clan could not lose the Hokage position.

Without any hesitation.

The moment Uchiha Minamoto appeared, he took the initiative to raise both hands, form the Tiger seal, and launch a massive fireball into the sky.

Boom!

The enormous fireball abruptly exploded, its deafening roar ringing in the ears of every Uchiha present.

All those doubtful or indifferent gazes instantly turned fervent!

"Today, I've come here to openly teach everyone an improved version of the [Great Fireball Technique].

"For nothing other than three things."

Uchiha Minamoto raised his right arm high, pointed at the sky, and flared his One-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Clan!"

"Duty!!"

"Glory!!!"

The grounds fell silent for a moment.

The Uchiha's enthusiasm erupted like a volcano.

"Minamoto! Banzai!"

"Long live Minamoto!"

"The Great Fireball Technique is a close-range, offensive Fire Release ninjutsu."

"Previously, this jutsu required six hand seals to perform."

"After my improvements, it only requires one seal."

"Next, I'll demonstrate the entire process of performing the [Great Fireball Technique] with simplified hand seals in detail."

"First, as always, mold your chakra..."

Uchiha Minamoto held nothing back as he explained everything related to the single-seal version of the [Great Fireball Technique].

If he wanted to win people over, he had to be sincere all the way.

Sincerity was always the ultimate winning move.

After teaching the key points, Uchiha Minamoto performed the [Lightning Clone Technique], creating several clones that looked no different from ordinary people.

This move set the Uchiha present talking again.

"So many clones!"

"It's a little like the village's A-rank forbidden jutsu, the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]!"

"Minamoto really is a genius! And he's awakened his Sharingan too!"

"Who knows how many times better he is than that stuck-up eldest son of the clan head!"

At Uchiha Minamoto's signal, the [Lightning Doppelgangers] walked over to each Uchiha on the grounds and began offering individualized, one-on-one instruction.

Time ticked by.

The study session for the single-seal Great Fireball Technique was in full swing.

The Uchiha ninja who had already learned the standard [Great Fireball Technique] and had only come to observe and learn the advanced version were the first to master the single-seal Great Fireball.
