Naruto: Awakening Eternal Power with My Eye Techniques

He barely avoided the sudden strikes of the [Flaming Blade Variation] using pure instinct. But this also cost him his last chance to escape. Shiyu Uchiha didn't give Renga Uchiha any breathing room, immediately seizing the opening created by the [Flaming Blade Variation] and swiftly closing in.

In close combat, Shiyu Uchiha's sword techniques finally unleashed their full power. Renga Uchiha was completely outmatched—Shiyu's bladework, boosted by the [Shifting Body Technique], moved beyond his ability to react. In the end, Renga Uchiha was defeated.

After the loss, Renga Uchiha couldn't help but recall how confident and full of himself he had been that morning when he left home. Yet before noon even came, reality struck with a heavy blow, filling him with disappointment and frustration.

But he knew it wasn't anyone else's fault—he was just outmatched. Shiyu Uchiha had won purely through strength; there was no dispute about it. Renga Uchiha could accept defeat with grace.

He also realized this loss wasn't all bad—it exposed his weaknesses and flaws, giving him the chance to grow stronger.

He vowed to learn from this defeat, keep improving his strength, and one day challenge Shiyu Uchiha again—to win.

Then he thought about how the other had first given him secret techniques, helped him break through barriers, and treated him with respect. And what had he done in return? He had acted like a superior elder—wasn't that bullying someone younger? At that thought, Renga suddenly realized how wrong he had been and instantly felt deep shame and regret.

Observing the shifting emotions on his opponent's face, Shiyu felt a bit confused. "I didn't cast any genjutsu… So why is his expression changing like that? Did something shock him?" The more Shiyu thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. He subtly tightened his guard.

"Chief, I'm sorry for my rudeness this morning. Please don't take offense," Renga said, taking a deep breath to steady his emotions before sincerely bowing low to show his remorse.

At the same time, he changed his address from "senior" to "Chief," showing proper respect for Shiyu's position.

Caught off guard by the unexpected apology, Shiyu was nevertheless very satisfied with Renga's current attitude. He decided to respond generously and not hold Renga's earlier impoliteness against him. After all, Renga had already shown enough sincerity and respect.

At the same time, Shiyu couldn't help but feel that the Uchiha family's mysterious bloodline curse really was impossible to predict. Still, he quickly reached out and helped Renga up, saying with a smile, "Big Brother Renga, you're being too humble. I'll still need your strong support moving forward!"

After that, they exchanged polite words for a bit, and the mood between them turned warm and friendly. Then Shiyu once again scanned the crowd, checking if anyone still held resentment—but this time, he found himself quite satisfied.

So Shiyu loudly announced, "Since everything has been settled, this challenge will end early. Everyone should continue training according to the original plan. We'll discuss further arrangements after I become more familiar with this place."

Seeing no objections from the crowd, Shiyu Uchiha added, "Dismissed." He then turned to Renga Uchiha, "Brother Renga, come by my office this afternoon. I need to ask you something."

"Sure thing, Director. I'll be there on time," Renga Uchiha readily agreed.

Shiyu Uchiha then instantly vanished using the Body Flicker Technique. Everyone watched his departure with mixed expressions. Who among the Uchiha wouldn't want powerful strength? Yet, no one held any resentment.

Because Shiyu had just displayed his strength. At this moment, he suddenly realized what made the Uchiha special—respect always went to whoever was stronger.

In the afternoon, Shiyu Uchiha asked Renga Uchiha for help with his Fire Release skills, "Brother Renga, I always feel like my Fire Release is missing something. Despite repeated attempts, I can't seem to break through. Can you give me some guidance?"

Although Renga Uchiha hadn't mastered Fire Release Ultimate Art either, there was currently only one person in Konoha who had achieved that—Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, since he could never teach Shiyu Uchiha, the latter could only turn to Renga, hoping for some new insights that might spark inspiration.

Renga Uchiha answered simply, "I probably can't help much with this. You know I've only succeeded in cultivating a certain Secret Technique. This morning I watched your Fire Release demonstration—it was excellent in both Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation, practically perfected.

From what I understand, the only missing element is the core. You must establish your own unique essence as the foundation, incorporate your comprehension of that specific chakra attribute, and reshape it into a complete system and personalized jutsu.

That essential point is the Ultimate Art, similar to Blade Intent in Sword Techniques. I can't explain it clearly to you; you have to discover it yourself.

Moreover, everyone's cultivation path is completely unique. By this stage, even though predecessors' experiences can't be fully relied upon, they still provide valuable references." As he spoke, a trace of melancholy appeared in his tone, but he quickly recovered.

At the same time, Shiyu Uchiha frowned deeply while muttering thoughtfully, "Blade Intent… Ultimate Art…"

Gently shaking his head, Renga Uchiha continued, "Though hard to describe in words, my father once said it's essentially a deeper understanding and control over ninjutsu. Once you grasp the Fire Release Ultimate Art, all your Fire Release techniques will become far more powerful without increasing chakra consumption.

Also, he briefly mentioned earlier that Bloodline Limits are actually new systems formed by merging two different cores."

Shiyu Uchiha automatically ignored that last sentence and continued pondering. He recalled every time he had used Fire Release—from the basic Great Fireball [Gōka Messhitsu] to his own creation, the Blazing Meteor [Kaen Seiryū]—feeling a vague sense of something just out of reach, like he was on the edge of understanding, but the moment he tried to grasp it, it vanished.

To him, the Ultimate Art of Fire Release meant first mastering its nature and form transformations to their fullest. At this stage, it was best not to be influenced by others' theories, otherwise compatibility issues would arise with one's own path.

Then, using that personal theory as a foundation, one could create exclusive ninjutsu to test and verify it. Having access to existing Secret Jutsu with aligned philosophies for reference would not only help refine one's theory further but also speed up the development of new techniques.

Only upon completing this entire process could one truly attain the Ultimate Art of Fire Release.
