Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 5 Lightning Release Chakra Mode

"Yoichi, I'm sorry to have troubled you this time. If you have any questions about training ninjutsu, you can come to me. My chakra nature happens to be lightning."

After leaving the Uchiha Fugaku family, Uchiha Mabayashi comforted him.

Although the clan provided ninjutsu and monetary compensation, the former was of little use to Uchiha Yoichi, while the latter was what he deserved; Uchiha Yoichi's parents were both ninjas, and the family had a considerable number of ninjutsu scrolls, including most of the fire-style ninjutsu commonly used by the Uchiha clan.

As for the money, it was rightfully his. The C-level mission was upgraded to an A-level mission, and given the importance of the intelligence obtained, giving him 500,000 taels wouldn't be excessive.

This time, Uchiha Yoichi made concessions for the sake of the clan. Not only did they fail to fight for the credit he deserved, but they also failed to clarify the situation when Uchiha Yoichi was suspected of "saving his teammates".

It's no wonder that Uchiha Yang was angry. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was being labeled, and his clan didn't support him either.

The fact that the village isn't assigning Uchiha Yoichi to a team is tantamount to acknowledging the rumors circulating about him, such as being a "teammate killer" or "deliberately not providing assistance."

Furthermore, he cannot accept B-rank missions. Although Chunin can accept B-rank missions, Uchiha Yang cannot form a team, so he is not qualified. From now on, he can only accept some C-rank or D-rank missions alone.

"I don't need anything lately, Senior Kaname. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Uchiha Yang said that he wanted to go back immediately. He was disappointed in the Uchiha clan, but more than that, he was worried that the broken X-ray vision would be activated again at will.

Looking at a man's naked body will give you corns.

"Then you can go back now, Yang Yi. If you need any help, just come find me at the security team."

After saying that, Uchiha Mabayashi parted ways with Uchiha Yoichi.

Meanwhile, after preparing the meal, Uchiha Mikoto came to the quiet room: "Fugaku-kun, lunch is ready."

A moment later, the door opened, and Fugaku Uchiha came out, saying, "Mikoto, if you're tired, you can go and rest. You don't need to be so busy."

Mikoto Uchiha quickly said, "Fugaku, I'm fine. I was just momentarily disoriented."

Seeing her insistence, Fugaku Uchiha stopped trying to persuade her and followed Mikoto Uchiha to the restaurant to begin their lunch.

During the meal, Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but ask, "Fugaku, what was the purpose of that Yoichi-kun's visit to our house?"

"Because of some illogical rumors, we had to make Yang Yi back down, but this was also for the sake of the Uchiha clan to make further progress in the village. However, this was unfair to him, a meritorious contributor, so what we were just about to do was to compensate him."

Fugaku Uchiha still believed in the Third Hokage. He thought that under the Third Hokage's leadership, the Uchiha clan might be able to change their previous awkward situation and integrate into Konoha.

"I see. So, Fugaku, does the Sharingan have the ability to see through things?"

Mikoto Uchiha asked tentatively, somewhat suspecting that there was something wrong with her eyes. However, she found it strange that she could only see Yoichi Uchiha's naked body, but since she couldn't see anyone else, it could only be a problem with her.

"X-ray vision? The Sharingan can only detect chakra and use it to see the figures behind objects, but that's all it can do. In terms of X-ray vision, the Sharingan is indeed inferior to the Byakugan. However, in terms of all-around abilities, the Sharingan is still stronger."

Fugaku Uchiha put down his soup bowl and explained to Mikoto Uchiha, not forgetting to emphasize the power of the Sharingan at the end.

"Is it possible that the Sharingan possesses the abilities of the Byakugan?"

Before Mikoto could finish speaking, Fugaku Uchiha interrupted her, saying, "Don't believe such illogical rumors. There were indeed rumors that the Sharingan originated from the Byakugan, but those were just made up by people who admire the Byakugan. The Sharingan is much stronger than the Byakugan."

"Yes, is that so? I understand, Fugaku."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded, then lowered her head to eat. However, she was still puzzled as to why she could see Yoichi Uchiha's naked body. How could she be the only one who saw it?

--------------

"The cell activation of Lightning Release is almost complete. The next step is to increase the flow of Lightning Release chakra to achieve the effect of Lightning Armor, but that will be a long and arduous process."

Uchiha Yoichi thought with satisfaction that, with the help of the transformer generator, he spent a week mastering the nature of lightning, and then spent another week activating his cells to use the Lightning Release Armor.

The next step is to control the Lightning Release chakra to continuously strengthen the body, allowing the meridians, cells, muscles, and bones to withstand increasingly higher levels of Lightning Release chakra.

In this way, his body will continuously become stronger, and his speed and nerve reflexes will also increase.

The Fourth Raikage's speed was almost the fastest in the ninja world, only slightly slower than the cheat-like space-time ninjutsu, thanks to his ability to continuously increase his physical limits with lightning chakra.

In order to train this ninjutsu and also to avoid activating his [X-ray vision] ability, Uchiha Yoichi has hardly left the clan compound during this period.

"After the cells are activated, the speed has already doubled. If the flow of Lightning Release chakra is maximized, the speed can triple. From now on, we can focus on taijutsu."

Uchiha Yoichi's ninjutsu was mediocre; his hand seals weren't fast enough, at most three per second. He had the upper hand against ordinary Chunin, but he was no match for Jonin.

Especially for Jonin who specialize in ninjutsu, it's normal for them to perform five hand seals in a second.

Once taijutsu becomes powerful, it poses a great threat to ninjutsu-type ninjas. The Hyuga clan became famous in the ninja world by relying on the Byakugan and Gentle Fist taijutsu.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi vaguely remembered that there was a rogue ninja from the Hinata clan who almost defeated Shisui, who would later become the master of the Body Flicker Technique, with his powerful taijutsu. This is enough to illustrate the advantage that taijutsu holds in combat.

"My strength has improved; the next step is to master it. A ninja always gains strength through battle."

Uchiha Yoichi was considering taking on missions outside the village, and he suspected that the village's higher-ups were preventing him from forming teams because they didn't want him to take on B-rank or higher missions anymore.

Logically speaking, the village's higher-ups shouldn't have paid attention to a junior Chunin like him, and the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village wasn't that bad.

However, based solely on rumors, it was not advisable for him to continue forming mission teams. Uchiha Yoichi did not believe that there was no subjective targeting involved.

"You could take on a long-term quest to leave the village and then check out the underground gold exchange, but only within the Land of Fire."

His strength was already considerable, and now that he has mastered the cell activation technique of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his overall strength is roughly equivalent to that of an elite Chunin.

If one were to master the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the point of Lightning Armor Entanglement, and combine it with the Sharingan, one could fight against a Special Jonin in terms of individual techniques alone.

If he could unlock some extraordinary abilities, Uchiha Yoichi would be confident he could kill any elite Jonin he encountered.
