Chapter 3: Chapter 3

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode utilizes a special form of lightning chakra to stimulate the body's nerves, increasing one's speed. It can also be used to wrap lightning chakra around the body for offense or defense."

Yōichi read through the scroll more than ten times, committing every word to memory. After reaching a point where he could almost recite it backwards, he destroyed the scroll.

First, he needed to control the nature transformation of chakra into lightning, which was a prerequisite for performing lightning release ninjutsu.

Nature transformation, in essence, involved making chakra simulate various elemental changes. It didn't actually transform chakra into lightning or water. When chakra is used to cut by wind release or burn by fire release, it was due to the chakra mimicking the sharpness of wind or the temperature of fire, achieving similar effects.

Yōichi distinctly remembered when Sarutobi Asuma taught Naruto wind nature transformation. He mentioned splitting chakra into two parts and continuously rubbing them together to make it thinner and sharper, which represented the nature transformation of wind.

There were many variations of lightning nature transformation, but for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode ninjutsu, Yōichi felt he should first master the 'stimulation' and 'conduction' aspects.

"By increasing the flow of chakra through the body's meridians, simulating the effect of electric current, one can achieve a level of chakra activation similar to physical activity. However, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a bit more complex."

Yōichi was already a Chunin, so naturally, he could perform tree climbing and water walking, and concentrating chakra on his feet could enhance his speed.

"I'll go find an electrician this afternoon, see if they can make me a transformer that releases electric currents. It might be helpful for my training."

The technological advancements in the ninja world were quite advanced. Electricity was already in use at this point.

Soon, Yōichi began to simulate lightning nature transformation with chakra. One benefit was that he could suddenly activate his abilities when looking in the mirror, allowing him to observe his body's meridians and prevent internal injuries from overtraining.

This might be the only utility of this ability—observing himself training of his meridians to minimize risks.

"Yōichi, are you training?"

After arriving at the training ground, Kanbayashi saw Yōichi sitting on the ground, sweating profusely. He nodded silently. This was how a genius of the Uchiha clan should be—possessing both talent and diligence.

Yōichi, slightly out of breath, said, "I want to train in lightning nature transformation. After a week of training, I can finally achieve cellular activation."

Kanbayashi nodded. "You've achieved cellular activation after just a week? Yōichi, your talent is remarkable. Achieving this level of lightning nature transformation is already considered a success. Once you master the second nature transformation of chakra, becoming a Jonin won't be far off."

With strength attained, only experience remained. In this regard, the Uchiha clan had the ability to rapidly give experience for its members.

"Let's not dwell on that. The clan head wants you to visit his home; apparently, the village has made a decision."

"It's been a week, and I thought they'd postpone it until next year."

"Yōichi, I know you felt unfairly treated for being reprimanded despite your achievements, but sometimes the clan head has to compromise. You'll understand that when the time comes."

Kanbayashi sighed.

Fugaku wasn't entirely satisfied with the Uchiha clan being confined to the Konoha Military Police Force. He wanted the Uchiha clan to integrate more deeply into Konoha, including ANBU, mission teams, and so on. Therefore, in certain matters, Fugaku would make concessions to the Konoha high command in exchange for the advancement of their clan.

Kanbayashi was aware of this situation and believed that Clan Head Fugaku's decision was reasonable. To gain something, one must sacrifice a little, and the clan members should understand that.

However, Uchiha was an exception. He wasn't a pure-blooded Uchiha.

"I'll go change my clothes, Senior Kanbayashi."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

After that, Kanbayashi and Yōichi went home together. After training all morning and sweating profusely, they were a bit dirty and needed to take a shower and change clothes.

"Senior Kanbayashi, I haven't eaten yet."

"Let's talk about it after we leave the clan head's house. It probably won't take long."

Then, the two headed towards Fugaku's house. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance of a residence.

After ringing the doorbell, it wasn't long before the door opened. A young woman exuding a mature charm smiled and said, "Senior Kanbayashi, so this must be Yōichi. Fugaku has been waiting for you."

"Apologies for the disturbance."

After Kanbayashi and Yōichi bowed slightly, they changed their shoes in the entrance and walked in.

This should be Uchiha Mikoto. Judging by the timing, in another two years, the biggest filial son of the Uchiha clan would be born. Thinking of Uchiha Itachi, Yōichi wanted to find an opportunity to drown him.

After entering the house, the two were led by Mikoto to the living room.

Fugaku was already waiting in the room. Upon seeing Kanbayashi and Yōichi, Fugaku nodded expressionlessly and said, "Senior Kanbayashi, Yōichi, you're here. Please, take a seat."

"Clan Head."

After sitting down, Fugaku got straight to the point without beating around the bush. "Yōichi, the matter from last time has been discussed by the Konoha high command. Your bringing back the head of an Iwa ninja has greatly aided the village. Now, the village has dispatched personnel to thwart the plans of the Iwa ninja."

"However, the interrogation team also questioned your surviving teammate and the intelligence obtained from the head of the Iwa ninja. The village believes that during your mission, you showed a tendency to exploit your teammates. Although you accidentally achieved merit this time, the village high command does not recommend you continue to form or participate in mission teams."

"Senior Kanbayashi also informed me of your intention, even so I wanted to ask you personally today: Do you wish to join the Military Police Force?"

After hearing this, Yōichi remained silent for a moment before asking, "Clan Head, I'm a bit confused. Facing an enemy team consisting of one Jounin and more, while our team had one Chunin and three Genin, surviving was already unexpected. How do they think I exploited my teammates?"

"The surviving member of your team is now unable to be a shinobi. According to him, you had the opportunity to save him at the time."

"How could I save him without chakra? Should I rely on the will of fire or my mouth? Clan Head, why didn't the Konoha high command rescue the Second Hokage back then? Weren't they Anbu at the time?"

"Yōichi, this is the village's suggestion. As the clan head, I have accepted this suggestion, and I hope you understand."

Fugaku's tone grew slightly heavier. This was the result of discussions between the Uchiha clan and the village, and although it was a suggestion, it couldn't be changed now.

However, he also knew that Yōichi felt wronged, so he softened his tone a bit and continued, "The clan acknowledges your merits, so compensation can be given to you."

"No need, anyway—"

"Fugaku, I've prepared some refreshments for you."

Just as Yōichi was about to say something, he heard the gentle voice of Mikoto outside the door, so he held back his words.

But at this moment, Yōichi's eyes began to itch slightly—not with Sharingan, as he had long been able to control it freely.

Damn, it's that useless ability!

In Yōichi's view, a snow-white figure entered with a tea tray.

"Fugaku, I'll leave the refreshments here. Oh, oh, oh!?"

Mikoto hadn't finished speaking when her eyes widened instantly. She was now struggling to understand the situation before her—why was there a naked boy in front of her?

Chapter 4: Chapter 4

The sudden turn of events shocked Mikoto. The tray in her hand trembled, and the tea spilled onto the tea tray.

Although she was a jonin who had seen dangerous missions, witnessing a naked young man in her own living room was beyond the ninja's acceptance range.

Yōichi was also very shocked when he saw it, but he had been mentally strengthened by his bizarre ability. He knew he couldn't reveal anything now. He had to pretend not to know anything and cast aside any suspicion.

No matter how curious he was, he couldn't continue staring.

"Mikoto, what's wrong?"

Fugaku saw Mikoto suddenly making strange sounds and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice. Normally, his wife was very dignified when entertaining guests, but today was a bit strange.

"H-him, Yōichi."

Mikoto felt like she had a lump in her throat. She wanted to ask the young man in front of her why he was naked, but such direct and embarrassing words were hard to say.

"Clan Leader, did I come at the wrong time? Should I come back another day?"

Yōichi remained calm, his face showing a puzzled expression, indicating that he didn't know what had happened.

"Wait a moment, Yōichi, the matter will be explained soon. Let me excuse myself first."

Fugaku said to Yōichi in a deep voice. He noticed that Mikoto was acting strangely, seeming somewhat unfriendly towards Yōichi? But when they first came in, Mikoto didn't seem like this. How did it change so quickly?

So, he had to ask!

"Mikoto, come out with me."

After getting up, Fugaku said to Mikoto, then led the way out. Mikoto quickly withdrew her gaze and followed Fugaku out.

After the two came to the courtyard outside the corridor, Fugaku stopped and asked, "Mikoto, what just happened? Do you have any problem with Yōichi?"

"No, Fugaku, how could he do such a thing in someone else's house? And you didn't stop him?"

"How could you condone such a thing?"

Mikoto's tone was somewhat agitated. She had kindly brought tea, but suddenly saw such a scene; moreover, strangely, her husband and Yōichi seemed to ignore this, didn't they see it?

"What exactly happened? Yōichi didn't do anything inappropriate just now. Mikoto, what are you talking about?"

Fugaku was puzzled. He recalled that just now, apart from Yōichi being a little upset, there was nothing else to criticize. Even that bit of emotion was understandable, after all, he had compromised within the clan, which was why he seemed a bit depressed.

From this perspective, it wasn't enough to make Mikoto so agitated. Moreover, publicly pointing fingers at their guest.

Mikoto hurriedly said, "Fugaku, can you really understand what Yōichi's clothes mean?"

"Clothes? Mikoto, what are you talking about? Yōichi's clothes are normal, just a regular ninja outfit. Besides, as the clan leader, I don't adhere to so many rules. There's no need to wear special clothes. We're not the Hyūga clan."

After hearing this, Mikoto was surprised and covered her mouth, saying, "Ninja outfit? Fugaku, did you say that Yōichi was wearing a ninja outfit just now?"

"Of course, Yōichi and Kanbayashi weren't brought in by you, Mikoto. What's wrong with you today? If you're not feeling well, go rest first."

Fugaku advised, feeling that Mikoto was behaving strangely today.

"No, Fugaku, I'm fine. It's just, are you sure Yōichi was wearing a ninja outfit, and not... nothing at all?" Or something else?

Mikoto asked again. She hadn't hallucinated just now, and it wasn't possible to be under genjutsu, after all, this was the Uchiha clan leader's house.

"It's a ninja outfit, Mikoto."

Fugaku said, feeling a bit impatient by now. In his view, Mikoto was acting very strangely today, refusing to rest even when advised.

"Mikoto, just go rest. You don't need to worry about what's coming next."

"I understand, but Fugaku, I'll go back and collect the tea set. It spilled just now."

After swallowing some saliva, Mikoto said. She believed Fugaku wouldn't lie to her. If there was no problem in the eyes of others, then it was her problem?

Was there something wrong with her eyes?

If she could see through, it seemed that only the Byakugan could do it. But she hadn't even used the Sharingan just now, how could she have the Byakugan's penetrating ability?

"All right, after you tidy up the tea set, rest well. Maybe you've been too tired recently. But Yōichi didn't do anything excessive just now. Mikoto, you shouldn't have said such things in public."

Fugaku said. He felt that Mikoto's attitude just now was not good. Even if someone had emotions, they shouldn't show it, because she represented him, the Uchiha clan leader, to some extent.

"I understand, Fugaku. I'll apologize to Yōichi later."

Mikoto expressed her apologies with a guilty look. She also realized that she was the clan leader's wife, but what happened just now was too strange. How could she see such a scene?

Then, Mikoto followed Fugaku back to the reception room. As soon as she entered, she saw the naked body again.

"Indeed, only I can see it. No one else reacted. But why only Yōichi?"

Mikoto's mind shook, but she had prepared herself mentally before entering.

"Yōichi, I was a bit rude just now. Please forgive me."

"No, Madam, please don't worry about it. It's okay."

Yōichi saw that Mikoto wanted to clean up the tea tray and slightly got up to help, pushing the tray over with his hand.

However, his movement, in Mikoto's vision, gave her a 'huge' visual sensation, and she quickly averted her gaze, but couldn't help but glance at it again.

After cleaning up the tea tray, Mikoto hurriedly left, not saying much polite words.

"I'm sorry, Mikoto has been too tired recently and didn't rest well, so she behaved abnormally."

After Mikoto left, Fugaku apologized on behalf of his wife.

"Let's get back to business. Yōichi, the clan will compensate you. Is there anything you need?"

"I'm not particularly concerned about compensation, but Clan Leader, you said the village suspects me of intentionally not saving my teammates. I cannot accept this. If I had ill intentions towards my teammates, I wouldn't have brought him back from tens of kilometers away."

Yōichi's tone was still firm, but because of Mikoto's interruption, his attitude softened a bit from earlier.

"I'll take solo missions in the future. Senior has plans for me to join the guard squad, but I still prefer to have some freedom in my schedule."
