Even though Arata still had doubts, learning ninjutsu was something he couldn't avoid.
After all, the Second Hokage was long dead, and the truth didn't matter anymore.
When the Second Hokage was eventually resurrected through his own invention...the Impure World Reincarnation.....Arata could ask him directly.
So, Uchiha Arata began by copying down the Flying Thunder God Technique from memory.
Holding the notes in his hand, he started his quiet journey of study.
Hmm, this should be related to the Summoning Technique.
This pattern probably aligns spatial coordinates.
And this section should define the spatial anchor points…
Arata looked up at the clock. Only ten minutes have passed?
"Alright, that's enough for today," he muttered, putting down the scroll.
"Better go read the Uchiha clan records instead."
Uchiha Arata.....the eternal underachiever of the clan....quietly placed the Flying Thunder God manual aside, completely giving up on learning it for now.
If he ever wanted to learn something again, he'd just copy it directly.
After all, wasn't the whole point of awakening the Sharingan to make life easier?
Arata continued to stay inside the sealed space, reading books, walking around the island, and constantly paying attention to the changes in his body.
He could clearly feel it...the way his body was slowly fusing with the Wood Release bloodline limit.
There was a burning sensation deep inside him that made him restless and uncomfortable.
At the same time, his physical strength was steadily rising.
His body was becoming tougher, and his vitality was rapidly growing stronger.
Everyone knew that apart from his Wood Release, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was also famed for his astonishing vitality.
He could heal wounds without hand seals...his body brimming with life force.
Even Uchiha Madara once said that no one could kill Hashirama on the battlefield because of that overwhelming vitality.
In fact, Tsunade's "Strength of a Hundred Seal" was nothing more than a technique inspired by her grandfather's self-regeneration ability.
Although Yamato's Wood Release was far weaker than Hashirama's, it was still a true kekkei genkai.
Later on, even White Zetsu could use techniques similar to "True Several Thousand Hands," only because Yamato had been captured and absorbed into their network.
That alone proved that Yamato's Wood Release carried traces of Hashirama's essence.
As Arata's life force kept strengthening, he began to sense a new kind of chakra emerging within his body....gentler and warmer than before.
This chakra nourished him from within, making his body sturdier, his spirit livelier, and his presence more vibrant.
Even his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan seemed to bask in this warmth, as though submerged in a soothing hot spring.
The once-stiff gears of his ocular power now moved smoothly, filled with energy and vitality.
Arata could even feel that deep within his eyes, the divine power of Susanoo was stirring.....like a beast breaking free from its chains, reaching toward the next stage: the Complete Body Susanoo.
No wonder Uchiha Obito had been able to use his single Mangekyō eye for so long.
After being saved by Madara and infused with White Zetsu's body, he gained access to Wood Release.
The Wood chakra nourished his Sharingan, allowing him to use it so freely.
Meanwhile, Kakashi, with just a single Sharingan and no Wood chakra support, would be half-dead after using Kamui once.
As Arata's body continued to heat up, he suddenly felt an explosive surge from deep within.....a force awakening at last.
The Wood Release had finally been born inside him.
His chakra spiked dramatically. Before this, Arata's chakra reserves had already been immense....nearly at the level of a small tailed beast.
But with Wood Release awakening, his chakra skyrocketed again.
Now, he could easily compete with a tailed beast.....perhaps even surpass the One-Tail or Two-Tails.
Thankfully, Arata wasn't inside Konoha at that moment.
If he had been, the sheer volume of leaking chakra would have thrown every Anbu and sensor unit into panic mode, wondering if a tailed beast had suddenly appeared in the village.
After some time, his chakra fluctuations finally calmed down.
Arata clenched his fists, feeling the overwhelming strength coursing through him.
For a brief moment, he even thought....if the Sage of Six Paths appeared right now, he might just be able to fight him head-on.
Of course, he knew that was just an illusion brought on by his sudden surge of power.
But still, at this point, he could definitely walk sideways across the entire ninja world without fear.
Since his Wood Release had awakened, he had to test it out.
