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."

Chapter 5: Chapter 5

[Translator Note: I'll be uploading more chapter in a couple of days to stock a few, but it will be uploaded daily in P@treon, for free readers I'm sorry but had to wait a few days]

"Yōichi, I apologize for burdening you. If there's anything about ninjutsu you don't understand, feel free to come to me. My chakra nature happens to be lightning," reassured Kanbayashi as they left the Fugaku household.

Although the clan compensated Yōichi with ninjutsu training and money, the former held little use for him, while the latter was rightfully his due. Both of Yōichi's parents were ninjas, and their home undoubtedly contained numerous scrolls of ninjutsu. Yōichi was familiar with most of the basic fire release techniques.

Regarding the money, it was rightfully his due. Upgrading from a C-rank to an A-rank mission, and considering the importance of the obtained intelligence, giving him five hundred thousand ryo was not excessive.

This time, Yōichi had to make concessions for the clan. Not only did he not fight for the recognition he deserved, but he also couldn't clear his name when suspicions arose about his failure to save a teammate.

It wasn't surprising that Yōichi felt frustrated. He was unfairly labeled despite doing nothing wrong, and the clan didn't support him either.

Now that the village didn't assign Yōichi to a team, it tacitly endorsed the rumors circulating about him—things like being a "teammate jinx" or "intentionally not rescuing."

Furthermore, he couldn't take on B-rank missions. Although chūnin could undertake B-rank missions, Yōichi couldn't form a team, so he didn't qualify. He would only be able to take on solo C-rank or D-rank missions in the future.

"I don't need anything recently, Senior Kanbayashi. If there's nothing else, I'll head back," Yōichi said, wanting to return immediately. He was disappointed with the Uchiha clan, but more so, he was worried about the unintended activation of that damned power.

Gawking at men's naked bodies was sure to cause problems.

"Then go ahead, Yōichi. If you need help, you can find me at the vigilance team," Kanbayashi said before parting ways with Yōichi.

Meanwhile, after preparing lunch, Mikoto entered the quiet room. "Fugaku, lunch is ready."

Shortly after, the door opened, and Fugaku stepped out, saying, "Mikoto, if you're tired, you can rest first. No need to rush."

Mikoto hastily replied, "Fugaku, I'm fine. Just a momentary lapse."

Seeing her insistence, Fugaku stopped persuading her. As they entered the dining room together, they began to enjoy their lunch.

During the meal, Mikoto couldn't help but ask, "Fugaku, why did Yōichi come to our house earlier?"

"Because of some illogical rumors, Yōichi had to make a concession. But it's also for the benefit of the Uchiha clan to progress further in the village. However, this does indeed overlook his contributions, so I was planning to compensate him," Fugaku explained, still believing in the Third Hokage. He believed that under the leadership of the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan might overcome its past embarrassments and integrate better into Konoha.

"I see. Fugaku, a question, does the Sharingan have the ability of clairvoyance?" Mikoto asked tentatively, wondering if her eyes had malfunctioned. It was strange that she could see Yōichi's naked body, but others couldn't. It must have been her own problem.

"Clairvoyance? The Sharingan can only perceive chakra and, by observing chakra, see the shadows of objects behind them. However, it only goes this far. In terms of clairvoyance, the Byakugan is indeed superior to the Sharingan. But overall, the Sharingan is more powerful," Fugaku explained to Mikoto, emphasizing the strength of the Sharingan.

"Then is it possible for the Sharingan to have the abilities of the Byakugan?" Mikoto began to ask, but Fugaku interrupted her, saying, "Don't believe in such illogical rumors. There were indeed rumors before that claimed the Sharingan originated from the Byakugan, but those were made up by those who admired the Byakugan. The Sharingan surpasses the Byakugan in many aspects."

"I see. I understand, Fugaku," Mikoto nodded, then lowered her head to eat. However, she still couldn't understand why she could see Yōichi's naked body. Why was it only her?

...

"Activating the lightning release cellular activation is almost achieved. The next step is to increase the flow of lightning attribute chakra to achieve the effect of lightning armor. But this will require meticulous practice," Yōichi thought to himself satisfactorily.

With the help of a transformer, he spent a week mastering the nature transformation of lightning and then spent over a week enabling himself to use the lightning release armor while activating cellular activation.

Next is to control the lightning release chakra to continuously strengthen the body, allowing the meridians, cells, muscles, and bones to withstand higher levels of lightning release chakra. This way, his body would continuously become stronger, and his speed and reflexes would also increase.

The Fourth Raikage's speed was almost unmatched in the ninja world, only slightly slower than the cheating teleportation jutsu. It relied on continuously enhancing the body's limits with lightning release chakra.

To practice this ninjutsu and to avoid activating his "clairvoyance" ability, Yōichi hardly left the clan territory during this period.

"After cellular activation, my speed has doubled. If I can enhance the flow of lightning release chakra to the extreme, my speed could triple. The focus in the future can be on taijutsu," Yōichi thought. His ninjutsu was average; his hand seals were not fast enough. At best, he could perform three hand seals per second. He had the upper hand against ordinary chūnin, but he was insufficient against jōnin, especially those specializing in ninjutsu.

In particular, those upper-tier jōnin who specialized in ninjutsu could perform five hand seals per second, which was normal.

Powerful taijutsu posed a significant threat to ninjutsu-type ninjas. The Hyūga clan became famous in the ninja world through the Byakugan and gentle fist taijutsu.

Moreover, Uchiha Yōichi vaguely remembered a renegade from the Hyūga clan who defeated the Raikage's body flicker technique with powerful taijutsu. This was enough to show the advantages of taijutsu in combat.

"With increased strength, the next step is to familiarize and control. Ninjas always increase their strength through combat," Yōichi thought, feeling like taking on missions again. He also suspected that the village elders didn't want him to form a team because they didn't want him to take on B-rank or higher missions.

Logically, the village elders had no reason to focus on him, a mere middle-ranked ninja. Moreover, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village wasn't so bad as to warrant such actions.

But merely based on rumors, they advised against him forming a mission team further, claiming there was no subjective bias, which Yōichi didn't believe.

"I can take on a long-term out-of-village mission and then visit the underground exchange to see. Of course, it's limited to within the borders of the Land of Fire," he thought. His strength was not weak to begin with. Now that he had learned the lightning release chakra mode cellular activation, his overall strength was considered elite among middle-ranked ninjas.

If he could develop the lightning release chakra mode into a lightning armor wrap and combine it with the Sharingan, he would be able to compete with special jōnin in taijutsu alone.

If he could unleash some abnormal abilities and encounter elite jōnin, Yōichi was confident he could kill them.
