The more you know, the more you don’t know.
What is chakra? The standard answer is that it is the combination of physical energy and mental ability. It is the foundation for ninjas to settle down and live, and the source for ninjas to perform ninjutsu.
But what can chakra do?
That answer is too many.
Ninjas can use chakra to cast ninjutsu, samurai can use chakra to slash sword energy, Jiraiya uses chakra to peek, Orochimaru uses chakra to research biotechnology...
So, chakra is like a brick, it needs to be moved wherever it needs to be.
Uchiha Tokimitsu's research on the combination of Yin Release and Fire Release was a discovery that seemed to open the door to a new world for the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan is too strong. Especially in this era when the thousand-year-old enemy, the Thousand Hands Clan, has disappeared, almost no one can stop it.
Based on the path of Sharingan evolution and Fire Release study, if an ordinary Uchiha tribesman awakens the Sharingan, as long as his talent is acceptable, he can basically learn from the ninjutsu collections of each family according to his hobbies and temperament. Ninjutsu, if you have a few more talents, a certain amount of research ability, and a few unique secret techniques, you can basically find a path that suits you and become a strong Ninjutsu.
Although most Uchiha ninjas spend their entire lives working hard as a Chunin, even if they are Chunin, Chunin from the Uchiha clan are also strong in the Chunin community.
In this world where extraordinary power appears, the chakra possessed by ninjas is a miracle. If it is only used in ninjutsu battles, it will be a waste of resources.
…
After dinner, Uchiha Tokumitsu and his family went to Elder Setsuna's mansion together.
At night, the originally quiet and deserted streets of the Uchiha clan were full of heavily armed Uchiha ninjas patrolling at street intersections. When they saw Uchiha Nakagen and his entourage, everyone saluted.
Uchiha Nakagen also responded calmly.
"Father...what happened?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little confused about this.
Uchiha Zhongxuan just touched his hair and said nothing.
"The village suffered an attack. The police department and ANBU have recently been searching for the perpetrator." Emiko responded to Uchiha Tokumitsu's doubts, but did not elaborate on the details of the incident.
Seeing this, Tokumitsu Uchiha didn't feel like asking anymore, so he had to suppress his inner curiosity.
The Setsuna elder's residence in Tokumitsu's home was not far away. After a short walk, he arrived at his destination.
At the entrance of the elder's mansion, which was usually peaceful in the past, there were also a large number of Uchiha ninjas surrounding the gate on guard. It seemed that they were the elder guards of each family.
"The elders from all the families are here..." Uchiha Nakagen's sigh confirmed Uchiha Tokumitsu's judgment.
"Is Xiao Deguang here?"
Just as he arrived at the door, Elder Setsuna's voice came out of the mansion.
The energetic Elder Setsuna walked out of the inner hall and looked at Uchiha Tokko with a smile.
"Great Elder!" Uchiha Tokumitsu saluted Elder Setsuna with a serious face.
"Come in quickly!" Elder Setsuna greeted the three of them with a loving face. "Emiko, please come in quickly. It's been a long time since you came to my old home."
Entering the inner hall, the inner hall was already filled with a number of elders from major families of the Uchiha radical faction. Although they were all in their twilight years, they were all famous and strong men when they were young. Seeing the Uchiha The Tokuguang family followed Elder Setsuna inside, and everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time.
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was stared at by many people, was slightly shocked in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just greeted the elders of each family one by one based on the introduction of Elder Setsuna.
The inner hall was arranged according to tradition, with the upper seat and the lower seat. The leader was naturally Elder Setsuna, and the others were seated on the left and right. Uchiha Tokko looked around the four seats and found an acquaintance who was guarding his subordinates as the jounin guard captain. The scene of Uchiha returning from the Land of Grass.
Uchiha Jingye also nodded to Uchiha Tokimitsu, who responded politely, but was a little curious about an Uchiha girl sitting upright behind Uchiha's purge.
This is the first time I see a young female tribesman in a radical clan meeting.
"Jun Zhongxuan, please come forward and take a seat." Elder Setsuna led the three members of Deguang's family to come forward and take a seat, and then returned to the main seat.
The elders who were originally whispering to each other or secretly sizing up Uchiha Tokumitsu, all shut up when they saw the elder sitting down in the main seat, and the inner hall became silent.
"Gentlemen, what happened tonight has been reported before." Elder Setsuna said with a solemn face, "It is the method of 'Fire Escape' explored by our clansmen, Uchiha Tokko."
Everyone's attention was once again focused on Uchiha Tokko.
"Although it is an original method, after trials by selected members within the family, three people have successfully completed the chakra fusion of Yin Escape and Fire Escape..."
"They are Emiko Uchiha, Kage Uchiha, Makoto Uchiha..."
Following Elder Setsuna's roll call, the three of them stretched out their hands and condensed a purple flame in their palms.
Uchiha Tokumitsu noticed that the girl sitting behind Uchiha Kage also condensed a fire escape chakra.
"Uchiha Makoto..." Uchiha Tokko raised his eyebrows.
"Our Uchiha clan has never had this kind of ninja technique in the thousands of years of inheritance. Tokumitsu-kun's exploration results will add another bloodline inheritance to the clan. It is of great significance, no less than the discovery of the Sharingan by our ancestors. The origin of the secret method..."
This is a very generous compliment.
Uchiha Tokko also felt the heavy weight in his words.
"...Based on Tokumitsu-kun's talents, I intend to formally establish Tokumitsu Uchiha as my successor, assign him the position of attendant, and control the Ninjas of the Tiger Sect. After a hundred years, I will inherit the position of chief of this clan. …”
"Tokumitsu-kun, are you willing to accept it?" Elder Setsuna, with a serious face, looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with a surprised face.
"As you sincerely wish!" Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath and bowed down.
Everyone present, young and old, bowed down to salute Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Congratulations, young gentleman!"
The so-called leader of the shrine is the title of the leader of the secret guards among the Uchiha radical faction. Not only can he control the secret guard ninjas, but he is also the nominal chief jounin of the radical ninjas. He has the equivalent of Konoha's superiors within the radical faction. The power of the ninja squad leader.
In the chorus of congratulations from everyone, Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and sat upright.
"The significance of Flame Release cannot be overemphasized." After everyone stood up, Elder Setsuna spoke again, "Our clan has been stuck in tradition for a long time..."
Elder Setsuna sighed with a little melancholy.
"Inheritance is indeed glorious, but without innovation, it is inevitable to be left behind by the endless talents of future generations..."
"Although we claim to be the most powerful family in the ninja world, in the many years since we joined Konoha, there has never been a strong person in the family who can match the Five Kages. Even the monkeys of the Sarutobi family, there is no one in our family who can compare with them. A match for the strong."
Elder Setsuna's words were quite heavy, and all the elders bowed their heads and remained silent.
"I didn't know the reason in the past. I just felt that a peaceful environment is not suitable for our people. Without the baptism of war, no truly strong people can be born..."
"But! I found that what really bothers us is our tradition! I have lost count of how many years it has been since we explored new nindo outside of our family inheritance!"
Uchiha Tokko's heart was also touched.
Although Uchiha is strong, he sticks to tradition and is obsessed with the inheritance of the old paper pile and the glory of the Sharingan, so the highest limit of strength is probably Uchiha Madara's level.
"Tokumitsu-kun's Flame Release is equivalent to opening up a new way of ninja for our tribe." Elder Setsuna was filled with emotion. "It also pointed out a new path for our tribe who are unable to advance in strength."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Nagakei-kun, has it been ten years since you awakened the Three Magatama and was promoted to Jonin?" Elder Setsuna said, pointing to the Uchiha Kage to one side.
"Yes, elder, it has been nearly eleven years now." Uchiha leaned over to greet him.
"How much do you think your strength has grown in these eleven years?"
"...It's almost the same." Uchiha sighed slightly, "It's just that the amount of chakra has increased, the ninjutsu illusion has become more skilled, and the combat experience has become richer. However, in the past eleven years, there has been no new transformation breakthrough, until Appreciate Tokuguang-kun's 'Fire Escape' path."
"Yes... there used to be a tribe of people with amazing talents who were trapped here. They wasted their time and could not make any progress. In the end, they were backlashed by the obsession with power and embarked on an evil path that they could not extricate themselves from..."
The elders present sighed.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tokko was moved in his heart.
"The battle of Naraku Huangquan has consumed too much of the family's vitality, and the family's strength has essentially dropped to its weakest period since the Warring States Period." Elder Setsuna's words were very heavy.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Uchiha clan is still the most powerful and powerful clan in the ninja world, in the eyes of Elder Setsuna, it looks like blooming flowers, but in fact it is a raging fire.
"I plan to ban the way of Izanagi from now on. What do you think, elders?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little confused. As far as he knew, Izanagi and Izanami were two forbidden arts of the Uchiha clan, but why did they ask for them to be banned so seriously?
Uchiha Demitsu's questioning eyes turned to Uchiha Nakagen.
"...It's the Mangekyo Sharingan." Uchiha Nakagen naturally understood what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a little melancholy.
Emiko lowered her head and held her husband's arm without speaking.
Uchiha Demitsu thought carefully and understood.
The so-called Izanagi's Way may refer to the Uchiha clan's legendary method of awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan by killing relatives to prove the way.
"... From now on, if any of our tribesmen dare to violate the prohibition and pursue the way of Izanagi, we will do our best to kill them. What do you think?"
"agree!"
"Agree!"
A group of elders simply agreed.
With Yan Dun, a more feasible path to increase strength, the method of forbidding the killing of relatives to obtain the Kaleidoscope can be said to have all the benefits and no harm.
"Tokumitsu-kun, please come and demonstrate Flame Release to everyone." Elder Setsuna said to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"yes!"
Uchiha Demitsu stood up and left his seat, walked to the middle of the inner hall and stood there. Form a Yin seal with one hand.
The purple aura spread from the palm of his hand and enveloped his whole body.
Then he casually pulled out the Kodachi from his waist and stroked the blade with his left hand. Purple flames also spread on the blade. He swung it forward at will, and a purple light slashed out for about five meters before gradually dissipating.
Then a ball of compressed Flame Escape Chakra condensed in his left hand and pressed toward the ground.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and a semicircular hole about fifty centimeters in diameter appeared on the ground. The wooden floor and the soil underground had turned into fly ash.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's application of the 'Fire Release' Chakra is a temporary Flame Release Chakra mode, which is the protective aura of the whole body; the second is the application in swordsmanship, attaching the Fire Release Chakra to the weapon, which can form The attack power of the Fire Release Sword Qi is very tyrannical; the third is the Fire Release Rasengan that imitates the concept of the future Namikaze Minato's Rasengan method.
Although the application skills demonstrated are relatively simple, they are enough to convince the elders of various families.
Elders who are proficient in swordsmanship can extend more innovations in Uchiha-style swordsmanship from the Flame Release Sword Qi; and the Flame Release Rasengan represents the possibility of applying Flame Release Chakra in ninjutsu.
The elders and jounin present here are all masters who have been immersed in chakra for many years, so they can naturally understand the future of Yan Dun, a nascent ninja.
"It's really..." an elder sighed, "It's unbelievable..."
The significance of Flame Release to the Uchiha clan is immeasurable.
As a fusion of Yin Release and Fire Release, it is based on the Uchiha clan's special skills. Chakra control is the basic skill of ninjas, but in the past, everyone thought that it was enough to use it. It's just too much time to think about, but there is no shortage of various effective methods of training chakra control among the Uchiha clan.
"I think that Young Lord Tokuguang can be awarded the title of 'All without permission'." Another elder bowed to Elder Setsuna and said.
The elders looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
It means that everyone is allowed to pass on, which represents a line of masters, and also means that Uchiha Tokumitsu can establish a new branch within the family and form a ninja sect of his own.
"Elders, seniors..." Hearing this, Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly interrupted, "I don't dare to be ashamed of receiving the title, but Yan Dun is just a rough creation and needs to be studied and perfected by the seniors of the family. I hope that everyone in the family can make progress together through this. I am just a junior, and I really dare not pretend to receive such an honor."
"Since Tokumitsu-kun has said so, let's give it up." Elder Setsuna thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "It's just that I intend to open the Flame Release to the family jounin. Is that okay?"
"It's naturally better this way." Uchiha Tokumitsu responded quickly, "It is said that one person has limited skills. Without the help of all the seniors in the family, we don't know when the original method of Yan Dun will be perfected."
Elder Shan Na and everyone present nodded in approval.
Uchiha Nakagen and Emiko were very satisfied with their precious son's progress and retreat.
Uchiha Makoto's beautiful eyes, sitting behind Uchiha Kage, looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu with a strange look.
