Shinichi stood alone in the center of the Uzumaki clan's training ground with his straight sword drawn.
Moonlight glinted off the blade — but the air around him was already beginning to distort from the chakra he was gathering.
Shinichi had mastered Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Earth nature transformation already. Only his Water release lagged slightly behind, but even then, his Water Release was arguably one of the best within Konoha. Of course, no one knew, as Shinichi rarely revealed his full arsenal.
He inhaled slowly and raised the sword horizontally before him. He then placed his left index and middle finger against the flat of the blade and traced upward from hilt to tip.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : Ichishou- EnKen
炎花劒流-一章-炎劒 (Flame Flower sword style: first chapter – Flame Sword)
A red hue bloomed across the blade, coating it in concentrated fire‑natured chakra.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : nishou- Enka
炎花劒流-二章-炎花 (Flame Flower sword style: second chapter – Flame Flower )
The red chakra ignited, shifting into swirling petals of red and orange flame. Shinichi twirled the sword once, forming a bright red circle, then pulled the sword into a left pflug(middle guard stance with hands and sword on the left side).
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : sanshou- Enkahinfun
炎花劒流-三章-炎花頻紛 (Flame Flower sword style: third chapter – Flame Flower spreads)
He twisted his wrist and swung his blade in upward diagonal motion into right ochs.
Flame petals burst outward, scattering across the training ground like burning sakura.
He continued slashing, shifting from right ochs to left ochs, each strike sending another wave of petals spiraling through the air.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : yonshou- Enkachobu
炎花劒流-四章-炎花蝶舞 (Flame Flower sword style: fourth chapter – Flame Flower butterfly dance)
The scattered petals flickered, fluttering like fiery butterflies. They followed the tip of Shinichi's blade strikes, weaving through the air and incinerating everything in their path.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : goshou- Enkabankai
炎花劒流-五章-炎花滿開 (Flame Flower sword style: fifth chapter – Flame Flower blossom)
Shinichi raised the sword high in to high vom tag(sword raised above the head), then swung it down into left alber(low guard with sword on left side of body).
The scattered petals detonated into blooming marigold‑shaped firebursts.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : rokushou- Enkazenkai 炎花劒流-六章-炎花漸開 (Flame Flower sword style: sixth chapter – Flame Flower spreading blossom)
He lifted the sword upright before his face, freed his left hand, and snapped his fingers.
The blossoms stopped exploding. Instead, they continuously shed new petals, multiplying until the entire training ground was engulfed in drifting flame.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : nanashou- Enkananpeki
炎花劒流-七章-炎花難壁 (Flame Flower sword style: seventh chapter – Flame Flower Wall)
Shinichi lowered the sword and drew a perfect 360‑degree arc.
The petals converged, rising into a towering wall of fire around him.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : hachishou- Enkamanten
炎花劒流-八章-炎花滿天 (Flame Flower sword style: eighth chapter – Flame Flower Engulfing the Heaven)
He swung his sword toward the night sky.
The flame wall surged upward, merging with the drifting petals until a massive sheet of fire covered nearly eighty percent of the sky above the village.
Shinichi collapsed his free hand back onto the hilt and leaned back into zornhut.
Kenjutsu: EnkakenRyu : Kyushou- Enkaseiu
炎花劒流-九章-炎花星雨 (Flame Flower sword style: ninth chapter – Flame Flower meteor shower)
He swung down into alber.
The burning flowers in the sky collapsed into streaks of flame, raining down in a controlled meteor shower for nearly ten minutes.
By then, every Uzumaki sensor and every Konoha jōnin in Uzushio had gathered around the training ground, staring in shock at the burning sky.
Kenjutsu: Hikenhou : Rengoku Korin
火劒法-煉獄 降臨 (Fire sword law: Purgatory Descent)
Shinichi stabbed his sword into the earth.
The entire training ground ignited.
Walls, platforms, trees — every non‑living structure transformed into fire.
A world of flame descended, swallowing the training field in a purgatory of heat.
Spectators shielded themselves with chakra. Some used Water Release just to breathe.
Kenjutsu: Hikenhou : Kenshi no hi 火劒法-原始の火 (Fire sword law: Primordial Fire)
The blade began to drink the flames.
Every fire, every ember, every trace of heat was absorbed, leaving behind only scorched earth and a blood‑red blade humming with compressed chakra.
Shinichi slowly drew the sword back out and shifted into schlussel. His sharingan traced the crimson blade, as he twisted his wrist ever so slightly so that every angle was visible.
Satisfied, Shinichi sheathed the sword and looked up.
Uchiha Sosuke, Senju Kenichi, and Uzukage Kyoto approached. Their faces were grim with certain sense of annoyance and curiosity mixed together.
"Shinichi‑kun," Sosuke said quickly, trying to speak before Kyoto exploded,
"can you explain what you just did? Was all that necessary?"
Kyoto's red hair was already starting to flutter around without the assist from the wind.
"I was preparing for the battle in next two days."
Shinichi unsheathed the sword slightly, revealing the crimson blade.
"This is part of my kenjutsu. It stores fire‑natured chakra in the blade to its extreme."
Kyoto and Kenichi stared in confusion.
Only Sosuke understood.
He had watched the entire sequence with his Sharingan; he saw Shinichi convert the environment into fire chakra, absorb it, compress it, and seal it into the blade. And it was compressed to perfection that no heat radiated off of the blade, but his sharingan told him not to touch or get near it.
"I can maintain the blade like this for a little less than a week," Shinichi added casually as he sheathed it back.
"A week?" Sosuke echoed.
"Yes," Shinichi nodded as he tapped the hilt. "As long as I don't pull the chakra out for use, this should last for six days and about 6 or 7 hours."
Sosuke nodded with a proud and almost paternal smile.
Kenichi stared at the two Uchiha and shook his head.
'These damn Uchihas conversing and understanding everything through Sharingan!'
"Care to explain?" Kenichi asked.
Sosuke waved it off with a suspiciously cheerful laugh.
"Hahaha! Nothing serious! Shinichi was just practicing!"
"..." Kenichi blinked.
'Since when have you ever been this cheery, Uchiha Sosuke….'
Kyoto glared at the two for a moment before he finally snapped.
"Everyone, disperse!"
The Uzumaki and Konoha shinobi took a quick glance at each other and shrugged their shoulders and retreated.
As the crowd disappeared, Kyoto turned back to Shinichi, exasperated.
"Alright, young Uchiha. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but if you're going to create a spectacle that lights up half the village, WARN ME FIRST!"
Shinichi respectfully lowered his head.
"My apologies, Uzukage-sama. It won't happen again."
Just as situation began to settle down...
"Ne. You are that kid from Oji-san's place right?!! You're way more impressive than I thought, Datteba!"
Miho popped out from behind Kyoto.
"MIHO!!" Kyoto roared.
"Hehehe, I love you too dad."
She briefly stuck her tongue out at Kyoto, then rushed toward Shinichi.
"Hey! teach me some ninjutsu, Datteba! Then I will teach you something too!
Miho crossed her arm and tapped her index finger on her lips. "Hmmm... let's see."
Kyoto's eyes widened.
"Miho, don't you—"
But Miho slammed her fist into her palm and exclaimed.
"How about I teach you the sealing jutsus I mastered!"
"WHA-"
Before anyone could stop her—
Shinichi stepped forward with a calculative smile.
"DEAL!!! What do you want to learn Miho-sama."
Kyoto slapped his forehead and barked.
"Miho! What are you doing! This is not a matter to joke about!"
"Hmph! I made a promise with him, Datteba! This has nothing to do with you dad! Don't interfere in our relationship!"
"""???!!!!!"""
Everyone froze.
Kyoto's jaw dropped, Kenichi blinked, while Sosuke and Shinichi choked on their own breath.
Miho clasped her hand dramatically in front of her chin and she looked up to the sky with a dreamy eyes.
"The moment I met him at the Oji-san's stall, I knew it. It was destiny. Fate. My Future!"
Shinichi's face contorted in annoyance. His lips, brows, and cheeks twitched ever so slightly in annoyance. He started to get a better glimpse of her character now. And he did not like it. Something is really off and strange about this woman. He began to take few steps away from her.
"... What are you talking about?"
Miho blushed and held her cheeks with her palms as she twisted her body shyly.
"It was amazing. It was my first."
"""???!!!!!"""
Shinichi recoiled.
"Woman! There is something seriously wrong with you!"
Kyoto's chakra exploded.
"U C H I H A B R A T."
Uzukage's hair floated again, steam hissed from his mouth, and shadow covered his expression. Chakra poured out of his tenketsu violently and cracked the burnt training ground.
"Uncle. Calm down."
"Kyoto-dono, there must be some misunderstanding."
Kenichi passed both of his arms through Uzumaki Kyoto's armpits and held him back, while Uchiha Sosuke stood between Kyoto and Shinichi.
Shinichi took three steps back away from Kyoto and faced Miho with a cold glare.
"…I would like to reconsider this arrangement."
Miho returned a mischievous grin and grabbed his sleeve.
"No take‑backs, datteba!"
Kyoto roared.
"MIHO! Get back here!"
The training ground trembled again.
