Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 68 The Hidden Treasure

Inside the dimly lit basement.

As each scroll is turned open...

The various techniques recorded therein, some incredibly powerful and others ingeniously conceived, were presented before his eyes.

Whenever there are novel techniques for using chakra, they always catch his eye.

All of these gave him extraordinary inspiration and a new understanding of the use of chakra.

As he flipped through more and more scrolls, he couldn't help but marvel. Chakra, this wondrous energy brought into the ninja world by the Otsutsuki clan, was truly omnipotent, and its uses were incredibly diverse.

For example, the secret technique he has in his hand, "Shadow Concealment Technique," according to its catalog, allows the user to infiltrate into the shadows and silently assassinate or ambush a target.

When they infiltrate, they are almost silent, and it is difficult to prepare in advance before they launch an attack.

At the same time, using this technique, it is also easy to steal intelligence and collect information.

However, the spell also has obvious drawbacks. After casting the spell, the movement speed is extremely slow. If one is hiding in the shadow of a person or animal, the spell will be easily exposed once the target makes a move.

Furthermore, it is extremely easy for a ninja to detect it when it infiltrates their shadow. However, this technique can be used silently at night or when infiltrating the shadows of objects.

It's truly an essential tool for home and travel, and even for murder and robbery.

The "Water Release: Body Flicker Technique" he just saw also gave him a lot of inspiration for using chakra.

Before casting the technique, use your own chakra to create a huge water-style 'domain'.

Performing this Body Flicker Technique in water filled with one's own chakra results in incredible speed. The effect is somewhat similar to the Body Flicker Technique used by Haku or Kimimaro in the original work.

The main manifestation of this is the ability to teleport at high speed within a large area created by Chuck. This allows them to silently appear behind the enemy and deliver a fatal blow.

Alternatively, one can use continuous high-speed teleportation to kill multiple enemies who enter one's "domain" one by one. The destructive effect is also extremely powerful.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious: the consumption of chakra is enormous, especially in areas without water.

Not every ordinary ninja can perform a dam-building maneuver like Kisame Hoshigaki, creating a massive, circular water sphere several kilometers in size to engulf the enemy.

When an ordinary ninja uses this technique, once the target leaves the area covered by their water-style jutsu, they often suffer a net loss of chakra, as the damage outweighs the benefits.

It is true that every gain has its loss, which explains why ninjas often attach great importance to the secrecy of their own intelligence.

I also saw an S-rank Fire Release ninjutsu called "Fire Release: Flame Dragon Enters the Sea Technique," which is quite extraordinary.

It negates the weakness of most fire-style ninjutsu being overcome by water-style ninjutsu, and by utilizing the ultimate chakra nature and shape transformation, it creates a giant fire dragon that is tens or even hundreds of meters long.

Drive it into the enemy's water-style ninjutsu, or beneath the surface of the water. Use its terrifying impact to shatter the enemy's technique, or to submerge in the water to maintain its shape.

Its extreme heat slowly dissipates, forming a boiling "hot spring," forcing out enemies hidden in the water. It also releases its chakra into the water, preventing the enemies from using the water source.

They are extremely demanding regarding the nature and form of their own chakra, as well as their ability to manipulate it.

He was dazzled and overwhelmed by all sorts of novel ninjutsu.

All of this fulfilled his fantasies about supernatural powers in his previous life, when he was just an ordinary person. He could control wind and thunder, and in the blink of an eye, water and fire would alternate, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

[Hmm! Traveling thousands of miles in an instant is a bit of an exaggeration! If you learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, there's still a slight chance of teleporting a hundred miles or so!]

I really want to copy down all these techniques and take them home to study them carefully!

Whether it was the changes in nature, form, or ingenious ideas displayed by these ninjutsu and secret techniques, they all broadened his horizons.

He believed that once he fully grasped all of these techniques, his understanding, application, and interpretation of chakra would reach a whole new level.

In his view, all ninjutsu, secret techniques, and even bloodline limits are merely ways of utilizing and transforming chakra.

Once the underlying principles are understood, even the most powerful Kage-level experts are no longer so unattainable.

[What a pity! None of the forbidden techniques developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, are here!]

[I had held onto a sliver of hope, remembering that Madara knew the Impure World Reincarnation technique in the original story. If his family had a copy, it wouldn't be surprising if they had another one!]

[Otherwise, why bother with all this agonizing? Just choose the Flying Thunder God Technique directly! Regardless of whether you can successfully master it, let's give it a try first!]

With a regret unnoticed by outsiders, Toshiro finished flipping through all the scrolls and walked towards Fugaku, who was sitting in front of the stone platform with his back to him.

The reason I went through all the scrolls was simply to broaden my horizons and increase my inspiration for the use of techniques and chakra.

After confirming that there was no Flying Thunder God Technique in this secret room, he had already made his choice in advance.

"Fugaku-senpai, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. I've already chosen my target!"

At this moment, sitting on a futon in front of the stone platform, Fugaku was cross-legged facing the huge scroll in front of him, his eyes slightly closed as if he were dozing.

"Oh, have you already made your choice?" Upon hearing Toshiro's voice, Fugaku turned around and looked at him, asking the question.

Which ninjutsu or secret technique did you choose?

He was also curious about what the mature young man from the family would ultimately choose.

Are they those incredibly powerful S-rank ninjutsu?

Or perhaps those mysterious and unpredictable secret techniques?

The former is still too powerful for a boy of this age, and the amount of chakra required to use it, as well as the requirements for chakra nature transformation and form transformation, are too high.

The latter training requires extremely high levels of talent and is not something that ordinary ninjas can easily achieve.

As for the sealing techniques, barriers, runes, and incantations around him, he hadn't considered them; boys his age simply weren't interested in those. He usually chose techniques he couldn't yet practically use.

He was unaware that the boy in front of him was quite interested in sealing, runes, and spells, but with limited opportunities, he could only choose the one that was most advantageous to him.
