Sho U flicked his wrist lightly.
The blue 'Cang' transformed into a beam of light, silent yet fast as lightning, shooting straight toward Young Ai, who had just condensed his Lightning Release Armor and hadn't yet had time to familiarize himself with its power.
Young Ai's pupils constricted; he could feel the terrifying suction and destructive energy contained within that blue sphere.
He let out a wild roar, pushing the newly mastered and still unstable Lightning Release Armor to its limit. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as lightning surged across his entire body, attempting to withstand this unknown strike head-on.
"Block it for me!!!"
Buzz—!!!
The blue 'Cang' instantly collided with Young Ai's crossed arms, striking that layer of newborn blue Lightning Release Armor.
There was no world-shaking explosion.
Only a grating, muffled hum, as if space itself were being forcibly squeezed and torn apart.
Young Ai felt an irresistible, terrifying force—as if it wanted to crush and suck away his entire skeleton and internal organs—madly surging from the point of contact.
In the face of Cang's twisting gravity and internal destructive power, his newborn Lightning Release Armor fluctuated and flickered violently like fragile glass, emitting a strained 'crack' sound as blue electric arcs wildly dissipated and were annihilated.
"Argh—!!!"
Young Ai let out a pained groan. His entire body was like a person hit head-on by a high-speed train; his feet left the ground as he was sent flying backward violently.
The Lightning Release Armor on his arms was the first to completely shatter, followed immediately by the armor on his chest and abdomen, which cracked inch by inch.
Although the blue 'Cang' failed to make direct contact with his body due to his desperate resistance, the terrifying impact and residual spatial distortion still made his internal organs churn and his blood surge wildly.
BANG!!!
His burly frame slammed heavily into a massive rock behind him before his momentum stopped, leaving spiderweb-like cracks across the rock's surface.
Young Ai slid to the ground, falling to one knee. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale instantly.
The Lightning Release Armor around him had completely dissipated, with only a few stray blue electric arcs dancing on his skin before being extinguished entirely.
The sleeves on both his arms were shredded, and his skin was covered in fine bloody gashes as if scratched by countless needles. His chest burned with pain; his ribs were likely cracked.
Defeated! And so thoroughly defeated!
Even after breaking through to 'Lightning Release Armor' on the spot, he was still defenseless against that terrifying blue strike known as 'Cang'.
Young Ai gasped for breath and looked up at Uchiha Sho U, who was still standing calmly in the distance, having already deactivated his Mangekyo. His eyes were filled with shock and lingering fear.
And... complete and utter submission!
He had personally experienced the power contained within that blue sphere—a power that seemed capable of twisting the very rules of reality.
He also understood the chasm-like gap between himself and a truly top-tier powerhouse.
But more importantly, under the pressure of life and death, he had actually managed to gain a preliminary mastery of 'Lightning Release Armor,' which was undoubtedly a massive gain.
He struggled to his feet. Though his body was in pain, his eyes were exceptionally bright.
He once again placed his fist over his left chest. This time, his bow carried an unprecedented solemnity and gratitude.
"Thank... thank you, Elder... for the guidance! Ai... is thoroughly convinced!"
"Are you alright?" Sho U asked, his gaze sweeping over the bloody marks on Young Ai's arms and chest.
"I'm fine! A small injury like this will be better in a moment."
Young Ai straightened his back. Although the movement made his mouth twitch from the pain, his eyes remained bright, filled with the excitement of his breakthrough and admiration for Sho U.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Elder, and... thank you for that strike." This last bit of gratitude was spoken with sincere conviction.
Sho U smiled slightly and withdrew his hand, his tone peaceful.
"That you could break through under pressure is due to your own accumulation and talent. Now that you've entered the threshold of Lightning Release Armor, if you practice diligently without ceasing, you will surely achieve great mastery."
Receiving Sho U's recognition, the smile on Young Ai's face grew even wider—a joy that came from the heart.
He was already cheerful and straightforward by nature. At this moment, his favorable impression of Sho U increased greatly; his previous slight dissatisfaction and testing had long since vanished, replaced by respect for a powerhouse and a desire to befriend him.
Sho U looked at him, his thoughts turning slightly.
Young Ai was not only the Third Raikage's only son but also the undisputed leader of Kumogakure's younger generation. He was straightforward, valued loyalty, and had infinite potential.
Although Sho U would definitely compete for the position of Fourth Raikage in the future—and given Sho U's strength, barring any accidents, the Fourth Raikage would almost 100% be him—
Befriending such a person would bring nothing but benefits to the Uchiha Clan, who had just established themselves in Kumogakure and had shallow foundations.
This wasn't just a calculation of interests; Young Ai himself was indeed a person worth associating with.
"If Master Ai is interested in the application of Taijutsu or other cultivation questions, you are welcome to visit often in the future."
Sho U proactively extended an olive branch, his tone sincere.
"Exchanging insights will be beneficial to both of us. We Uchiha are newcomers, and there is much we need to learn from Kumogakure as well."
Hearing this, Young Ai's eyes brightened even more. He had been worrying about how to get closer to this unfathomable and convincing new Elder, and the other party had actually invited him proactively.
"Really? That's great!"
Young Ai was overjoyed. He almost couldn't resist slapping Sho U's shoulder, but remembering the other was an Elder, he stopped himself in time and spoke in a booming voice.
"Then I won't be polite! Elder Sho U, just call me Ai! All this 'Master' stuff sounds awkward."
"The way you coordinated Taijutsu with the Sharingan just now was exquisite, and that 'Cang'... it was simply divine. I'll definitely be coming to bother you often, so don't find me annoying."
He had always looked up to the strong. Sho U not only possessed transcendent strength but was also so approachable, which naturally made him feel a sense of closeness.
"How could I?"
Sho U shook his head with a smile.
"You're welcome anytime. We Uchiha also need to understand more about Kumogakure's cultivation systems and local customs."
The two looked at each other and smiled; the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Unexpectedly, Young Ai turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Once he started, he couldn't stop, and he began enthusiastically asking Sho U about the Taijutsu details from their spar.
Sho U answered patiently, occasionally asking questions back about Kumogakure's Lightning Release training and the Village's situation. Young Ai, naturally, told him everything he knew without reservation.
One was well-informed with unfathomable strength, and the other was warm, straightforward, and knew the Village and cultivation inside out. The two actually got along better and better as they talked.
They chatted about Taijutsu insights, Chakra nature transformation, Kumogakure's arduous training, and even the local customs and specialty foods of the Land of Lightning.
The roar of the waterfall became the background noise to their conversation; the tense atmosphere of the previous spar had long since vanished.
Uchiha Renka and the others watched from a distance as their Elder Sho U chatted happily with the Raikage's son. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces. This was undoubtedly an excellent start.
On Kumogakure's side, some Ninjas who had rushed over upon hearing the news or were already nearby helping saw this scene, and their evaluation of this new Elder quietly shifted.
Powerful yet not arrogant, young yet steady and composed, and able to quickly establish a good relationship with the Raikage's son... this Elder Uchiha Sho U seemed even less simple than imagined.
"By the way, Elder Sho U," Young Ai said as he got excited, suddenly remembering something. He slapped his head, but the movement pulled at his injuries, making him grimace in pain again.
"In a few days, there's a joint drill for young Ninjas in the Village. The talented descendants of various clans and promising young civilian Ninjas will all participate. It's a way to gauge each other's strength and provide motivation. Since you've just arrived, do you want to come and see?"
"The Uchiha Clan's combat power is famous in the Ninja World. You should have your people participate too, to show our young Ninjas what you're made of."
This was clearly a good opportunity to further integrate into Kumogakure and observe the strength of the new generation.
Uchiha Sho U thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Ai. Our Uchiha people will participate when the time comes."
"No trouble at all, no trouble!"
Young Ai waved his hands repeatedly, a bright smile on his face.
"Then it's a deal! I'll come find you then. Um... I need to go back and tend to my wounds first, and also consolidate the breakthrough I just had. Elder Sho U, I've truly benefited a lot today. I'll take my leave now."
"Take care and rest well," Sho U nodded in acknowledgment.
Young Ai gave another solemn bow before turning around. Though he was injured, his steps were exceptionally light and powerful.
