Then, Shiyu Uchiha pulled out a bottle of beverage from his pocket and handed it to Saya as a reward. He smiled warmly and gently patted her head in appreciation. Saya chirped joyfully, grabbed the drink in her mouth, and was sent back by Shiyu Uchiha once again.
After finishing this, Shiyu Uchiha walked up to Fugaku Uchiha holding a scroll, solemnly handed it over, and sincerely said, "Now it's all up to you. If possible, I hope you can use your extraordinary talent and wisdom to complete and improve this fragment, restoring its former glory and strengthening our clan's foundation."
Fugaku Uchiha didn't say much after hearing this. He simply nodded slightly in agreement, revealing confidence in his own abilities. From his calm and confident demeanor, Shiyu could see that he was fully prepared and had complete confidence in what lay ahead.
Without hesitation, he reached out to accept the related items, then began examining them intently. Shiyu didn't say anything but quietly watched his actions, avoiding any potential embarrassment.
Time ticked by minute by minute. About the time it takes to finish a cup of tea later, Fugaku lifted his head and turned his gaze toward Shiyu Uchiha standing nearby. That intense confidence had now been replaced with confusion, making him look exactly like a struggling student who just bombed a test. Thoughtfully, Shiyu didn't even wait for him to speak up before initiating an in-depth discussion and exchange, skillfully easing his discomfort.
Although Shiyu only had a basic understanding of Lightning Release, he possessed extraordinary talent and profound expertise in using Dōkuriki, making him a true master in this area. Therefore, the insights and suggestions he offered undoubtedly brought many valuable revelations and assistance to Fugaku Uchiha.
The two exchanged ideas for a long time. Finally, when Fugaku clearly showed signs of being overwhelmed, like someone who'd just stuffed themselves too full, Shiyu finally let him go, giving him some time to process everything.
Meanwhile, during these days, Shiyu himself had never slackened off in cultivation for a single moment. Perhaps precisely because of his persistent daily efforts and deep exploration of Fire Release techniques, he had not only developed a more profound understanding and mastery of the essential characteristics and various forms of Fire Release,
but he had also mastered the Yang Release secret techniques inherited from the Senju Clan through repeated study. Based on this foundation, he boldly innovated and carved out a unique path, successfully creating his own Yang Release secret technique, making up for the shortcomings in his foundation.
As a result, Shiyu's comprehension ability in the field of Yang Release had naturally advanced rapidly in a short time, fully meeting the expected standard.
Sure enough, after a period of preparation, an astonishing scene appeared — Shiyu effortlessly fused Yang Release power with Fire Release techniques!
The entire process was as natural as a flowing stream, completed in one smooth motion. It went far more smoothly and simply than initially anticipated. Of course, this was inseparable from his deep accumulation.
When Shiyu first cast that mysterious jutsu, he focused completely on sensing the flow of chakra within his body and the fascinating changes that followed.
As chakra surged through his meridians, energy gradually depleted. Yet simultaneously, a blazing force erupted from within him, forming a golden-red flame across his body surface. This flame was no ordinary fire—it represented a sublimation of Fire Release and Yang Release natures, fused together with his own conviction. Radiating dazzling brilliance, it made Shiyu Uchiha seem as if he stood engulfed in flames.
Unlike the temporary boosts he'd previously achieved by combining Dōkuriki with chakra, this experience was utterly transformative. The golden-red flame seemed to grant him a brand-new form of power—not just greater offensive strength, but also robust defensive capabilities. Although it still fell short of the formidable Lightning Release Chakra Mode possessed by the Raikage, it was undeniably astonishing.
Remarkably, this was also a secret technique capable of refining one's physical body! Each time it was used, with the passage of time, slight improvements in physique would accompany chakra consumption—though only visible after consistent accumulation.
For example, even with Shiyu Uchiha's meticulous control, he could clearly feel his body growing stronger—his muscles tightening and gaining strength, his bones becoming more solid. Naturally, this might have been because the initial effects were particularly noticeable.
Meanwhile, chakra reserves within his body would also increase. However, due to differences in innate talent between individuals, everyone's ultimate potential naturally varied.
Shiyu Uchiha immersed himself in these miraculous transformations, carefully feeling and comprehending their mysteries. Gradually, he discovered that this new power not only deepened his understanding of Fire Release and Yang Release techniques, but had also laid a strong foundation for Kujaku—the very technique he'd been studying for years. Effortlessly, he solved many of the questions about Kujaku that had once eluded him.
Without hesitation, he immediately began reorganizing and perfecting this unique technique, aiming to unleash greater power and make himself more than prepared for the upcoming decisive battle.
In its first stage—the Beast Form—changes were relatively subtle, maintaining purely Yang Release characteristics. The biggest improvement lay in significantly decreased difficulty while maintaining original effectiveness. However, once successfully mastering this stage, the benefits gained should never be underestimated: it effectively facilitated the integration of Yang Release and Fire Release techniques.
At this moment, Kinoto transformed into a perfect fusion product of Yang Release and Fire Release, materializing massive amounts of chakra and attaching it to his body surface as a chakra armor. This unique combination not only steadily improved his physical strength but also gave him incredible speed, attack power, and defensive prowess in battle.
Fueled by ambition, Shiyu Uchiha set his sights on developing this into a Fire Release Chakra Mode similar to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode—aiming to shine brilliantly on the battlefield and gain yet another crucial edge—an ace in the hole—for the upcoming war.
As for the tail, it hasn't changed much yet, but its quality has improved significantly, making it far more useful.
Still, it's mainly used in close combat — that's where this technique shines the most. Unfortunately, when it comes to improving the tail technique further, Shiyu Uchiha hasn't had any truly refined insights yet.
