NOVEL NEXT Chapter 154: Planning the Cultivation
He realized that maybe he should start by going over the basics of Fire Release and especially analyze the Fire Release technique he had created during a moment of inspiration. That self-created jutsu was definitely a breakthrough—he might have already achieved part of it unintentionally.
At this moment, a sudden thought occurred to him: *If only those advanced Fire Release secret techniques still existed within the clan,* he could cross-reference them and quickly grasp the essence.
Unfortunately, at present, only sub-Kage-level Fire Release secret techniques remained in the clan, though these resources were relatively complete. At his current level of Fire Release, the absence of advanced techniques meant he had no choice but to progress slowly and carefully, gradually accumulating and exploring. At this moment, Shiyu Uchiha couldn't help but feel the urge to kill Madara Uchiha again—stronger than ever before.
However, with his current strength, he had no way of standing a chance against Madara Uchiha. While other aspects of "Ninja World's Shura" might be debatable, there was no denying his overwhelming power. As long as Madara was still breathing, he was practically untouchable for anyone below S-Rank Kage level.
Renga Uchiha continued, "Chief, you should understand that our Uchiha Clan possesses unique methods. By integrating the power of the Sharingan into ninjutsu, the technique's power can reach the Kage level.
Moreover, when we eventually awaken our Ultimate Art, this same move will also play a significant role. Compared to a normal Fire Release user's enhanced flames after their breakthrough, our fire attacks would be far more powerful. This is precisely the strength granted by the bloodline ability of the Uchiha Sharingan.
Most importantly, once this secret technique is mastered, the ninja's comprehension of Fire Release itself greatly improves, thereby reducing the difficulty of awakening the Fire Release Ultimate Art.
According to past regulations, my father already submitted this secret jutsu to the [clan archives](Jiangzu), and our branch received many privileges from the Uchiha Clan as a result. Unfortunately... sigh, I'll leave it at that.
Otherwise, with your talent, Chief, being allowed to study the clan's forbidden scrolls would greatly benefit your future training." Renga Uchiha sighed deeply again, a flash of regret passing through his eyes.
Renga took out an elaborately crafted scroll from within his robes and handed it to Shiyu Uchiha, speaking earnestly: "Chief, this is the secret technique developed through my father's tireless efforts—please take a look. To be honest, without your generous sharing of secret techniques, I wouldn't have been able to master this one. Therefore, you needn't refuse—it's me who should be grateful for your support and help."
As Shiyu Uchiha was distracted in thought, Renga continued explaining: "The first half of this secret technique was something my father learned while following that Great Lord back then. The Mangekyou wielded by that Great Lord contained a powerful dojutsu capable of dramatically enhancing the power of Fire Release Ninjutsu. Under his guidance, combining years of accumulated research and experience within the clan, my father finally awakened this secret technique.
The second half, however, was later innovated by my father himself, inspired by a sudden insight he gained when he hit a plateau in cultivation. Referencing the first half, he combined it with the Yang Release Secret Jutsu of the Senju Clan, creating a fusion-style innovation alongside traditional Fire Release techniques."
However, due to insufficient practical verification, these theories remain incomplete and can only serve as references rather than direct guides for cultivation.
Shiyu Uchiha picked up the scroll and studied it carefully, focusing particularly on the first half regarding the power of the triple-comma Sharingan and Fire Release Ninjutsu. As for the latter half, he merely skimmed through it—he was quite receptive to advice after all.
Through careful reading, Shiyu Uchiha was pleasantly surprised to discover that once this secret technique was successfully mastered, although the Sharingan's enhancement of Fire Release nature transformation was somewhat limited in scope, its true strength lay elsewhere.
Its real strength came from breaking through conventional limits in shape transformation—by greatly compressing Fire Release Ninjutsu, its destructive power experienced a qualitative leap.
Although this compression would naturally reduce the attack range of Fire Release Ninjutsu, for the Uchiha Clan, combined with the Sharingan's powerful dynamic vision, this was not a major issue. Moreover, this change made Fire Release techniques more flexible and aggressive—allowing Renga Uchiha to alter the trajectory of attacks mid-execution, making them extremely difficult to evade.
He then turned his attention to the latter section of the scroll, which discussed the theoretical fusion of Yang Release with Fire Release Ninjutsu.
According to theoretical speculation, such a fusion would dramatically enhance Fire Release's nature transformation while expanding the jutsu's area of effect, thus elevating the power of Fire Release Ninjutsu to Kage-level—a classic case of brute force overwhelming subtlety, some might call it a "hit-it-harder-and-hope-for-the-best" approach.
However, since these were all based purely on theoretical speculation, no one had ever successfully achieved such a fusion, making its authenticity uncertain.
Additionally, drawing upon his own expertise in Yang Release, Shiyu Uchiha noticed several inaccuracies within the lower portion of the scroll, casting doubt on the validity of the theory itself. Still, he believed these errors could serve as inspiration, offering insight into the fundamental essence of Fire Release.
After comprehending both sections of the scroll, Renga Uchiha personally demonstrated the fusion process between the Sharingan and Ninjutsu.
Shiyu Uchiha bowed his head in thought, going over everything he had just seen. Though he felt he had gained a basic understanding of this secret technique, many questions still remained. Renga Uchiha patiently answered each one, enabling Shiyu Uchiha to grasp the foundational methods of cultivating the technique.
Shiyu Uchiha understood why Renga Uchiha had thanked him—some knowledge just couldn't be put into words. You had to experience it yourself to really get it and pass it on.
Had Renga Uchiha failed to master it, even if the physical scroll remained, the technique's legacy would have faced serious disruption. However, Shiyu Uchiha also felt slightly helpless—truthfully, in his mind, this "cannot be adequately described in words" excuse was really just due to Renga Uchiha's limited literary skill, which prevented him from writing vivid, expressive text.
Therefore, Shiyu Uchiha made up his mind: once he had mastered the technique himself, he would use his science background—as a STEM major from the Huaxia clan—to add detailed annotations to the scroll. Then, he would return it to Renga Uchiha, hoping it could one day become a revered family heirloom.
Then, when Shiyu Uchiha was staring blankly, Renga Uchiha took it as a sign of deep contemplation. To avoid disturbing him, Renga quietly left, giving Shiyu sufficient time to reflect and digest what he had learned.
As for the scroll itself, Renga wasn't worried at all—it was common knowledge that backup copies already existed at home, and he himself had long memorized all its contents. Choosing to bring out the original scroll was purely out of respect for Shiyu.
Shiyu slowly closed his eyes, quietly pondering methods to break through in Fire Release techniques. After a while, unique ideas began forming in his mind, but soon another secret technique caught his attention—the *Kinoto* from Kujaku's Myōhō.
The moment this thought arose, it was like a spark igniting a flame, quickly spreading throughout his mind. Suddenly, he had an extremely bold idea, one rooted in his understanding of Yin-Yang Release gained from practicing the Phantom Shifting Body Technique, combined with the secrets just uncovered from the scroll.
He realized it might be possible to combine Yin-Release, Yang-Release, and Fire-Release to create an entirely new ninjutsu. However, Shiyu fully understood this couldn't be rushed—it required waiting for the right opportunity.
At present, his main focus lay in perfecting the Phantom Shifting Body Technique, followed by breaking through Fire Release. After all, immediate results were the most achievable targets.
As for that sudden flash of inspiration—though the future prospects were tempting—it remained unclear when or how it could be realized. Truly mastering such a novel technique would require overcoming numerous obstacles, scaling countless peaks of difficulty.
Therefore, Shiyu decided to record this brilliant idea first, then concentrate on his current tasks, saving deeper exploration of that uncharted territory for when the time was truly right.
