I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

The scroll contains the corpses of the two Jonin who were killed earlier.

Whether he forgot or for some other reason, Yamanaka Inoichi made no mention of this matter at all.

Now, Yamanaka Inoichi has gone to the battlefield outside the village, and Shisui doesn't know anything about this.

Given the personality of the junior disciple, Uzuki Yugao, she would never meddle in her teacher's affairs.

During the month of ideological education that Uchiha Natsumi received, he had become someone as important as his parents in Uzuki Yugao's heart.

The traditional Chinese concepts of respecting teachers and valuing the way, and the idea that "a teacher for a day is a father for life," have all been instilled into Uzuki Yugao's mind.

Moreover, the results were quite good, truly a testament to the wisdom of the ancients.

What Uchiha Natsu wanted was a disciple who was on his side, someone who would stand by him even if he defected in the future.

Only in this way can one be a qualified "right-hand man".

Since no one cared about the two corpses, Uchiha Natsu thought for a moment and decided to take them all back.

If it's handed over to the body disposal team, it might take some effort to get it back.

As for intelligence, Uchiha Natsu didn't care.

After opening the scroll and releasing the corpses, Uchiha Natsu placed his hand on the skin of one of the corpses.

In his mind, the shop door suddenly opened, and the body was carried inside.

—Corpse score: 60 points, credit rating bonus: 10 points, total score: 70 points.

—Recycling successful. Obtained trade item: Enhanced Bloodline Abilities of the Summoning Beast Giant Bear. Effect: Enhances the Giant Bear's bloodline abilities, grants Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, and increases its overall power.

Please choose to take it or discard it at your own discretion.

"Big Gray has been strengthened, hasn't it?" Uchiha Natsu murmured.

Giant Bear Da Hui's original strength surpassed that of many Jonin.

Uchiha Natsu didn't know the extent of the enhancement yet. But if the enhanced version was comparable to a Kage-level fighter, then there would be another way to deal with the Raikage.

After receiving the money, nothing changed, and the shop fell silent.

Uchiha Natsu retrieved another corpse.

—Corpse score: 66 points, credit rating bonus: 10 points, total score: 76 points.

—Trade Reward: Increased Chakra Nature Transformation. Effect: Randomly adds one type of chakra nature transformation to the body.

Please choose to take it or discard it at your own discretion.

"receive."

Finally, he had obtained something that could improve his abilities, and Uchiha Natsu immediately chose to accept it.

The next moment, Uchiha Natsu felt as if an energy was flowing through his body.

The energy dissipated in a short while.

Uchiha Natsu then discovered that the chakra within his body had acquired a completely new property: lightning.

"Lightning Release chakra. I remember that this attribute can be incorporated into the Rasengan."

Uchiha Natsu vaguely remembered that Boruto in later generations incorporated Lightning Release into the Rasengan, resulting in a new transformation.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Natsuya couldn't wait to stand up and then raised his right palm upwards.

A Rasengan slowly formed in his palm, and then Uchiha Natsu infused it with lightning-style chakra.

The process went very smoothly, but the Rasengan did not change at all.

Uchiha Natsu found the opposite wall, then threw it, and the Rasengan shot out.

"call out!"

The Rasengan suddenly disappeared halfway through its journey.

But then, the wall opposite Uchiha Natsu suddenly exploded.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar was accompanied by a strong tremor, and it looked like the basement was about to collapse.

Uchiha Natsu quickly formed hand seals and used Earth Release to stabilize the basement, which was eventually restored to its original state shortly afterward.

Boruto Uzumaki accidentally injected lightning-style chakra into his Rasengan, which is why his Rasengan disappeared halfway through.

In reality, the Lightning Release: Rasengan is only "invisible"; it still exists and continues to move.

Now, Uchiha Natsu has also learned this ninjutsu.

With this Lightning Release Rasengan, the drawbacks of the ordinary Rasengan can be overcome.

Ordinary Rasengans are small in size and can only move in a straight line when they are launched forward, making them extremely easy to dodge.

This is also why those who learned the attribute-neutral Rasengan all preferred to use it in close combat.

In close combat, as long as you have the Rasengan in your hand, you can move however you want without being restricted by a straight line.

For long-range attacks, considering wind resistance, the Rasengan's firing speed is much slower than that of kunai and shuriken, so dodging it would be a waste of chakra.

Unless, like Uchiha Natsu in Kumogakure, he creates hundreds of shadow clones to create Rasengan and launch a map-wide attack.

When combined with Lightning Release, the Rasengan becomes invisible halfway through its trajectory, making it extremely difficult for the opponent to dodge since they cannot see it.

It's an amazing skill for dealing with enemies who don't have eye techniques.

After recovering the two corpses, the reward that Uchiha Natsu received was quite satisfactory.

Even with the Fourth Raikage's speed, the Lightning Release: Rasengan is difficult to dodge when it's out of sight.

After lying back down on the bed, Uchiha Natsu was about to go to sleep when he suddenly frowned.

Someone has come to the room upstairs.

Chapter 25 Moonlight Gale Squad

Inside the Hokage's office.

After Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Natsu left, Yamanaka Inoichi also withdrew.

Now, besides a few high-ranking members of Konoha, only Uzuki Yugao remains in the room.

Standing in the center of the room, Uzuki Yugao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't know why the Hokage had left her here alone.

Wearing chainmail, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yugao Uzuki and said with approval, "Yugao, you performed very well in this mission. I didn't expect you to be so talented. I had overlooked you before."

Uzuki Yugao lowered her head and said humbly, "It's because of the teacher's good teaching that I've been able to make progress."

Uzuki Yugao said this thanks to Uchiha Natsumi's "ideological education".

Humility leads to progress, while pride leads to downfall. She always kept this saying in mind.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brow furrowed slightly involuntarily.

Although he was satisfied with Uzuki Yugao's humble performance, he couldn't be happy when it came to Uchiha Natsumi.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly, "In order to reward your outstanding performance this time, I have decided to promote you to Chunin. You will first intern with Hayate Gekko's team for a period of time, and then lead a team on your own to carry out missions."

During wartime, promotions were common due to the performance of duties. Consequently, promotion assessments were not conducted.

According to Yamanaka Inoichi's feedback, Uzuki Yugao's current abilities are sufficient to advance to Chunin.

Uzuki Yugao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hand, saying, "Third Hokage, the greatest credit for this mission went to Teacher Xia, not me. I didn't play much of a role."

"Furthermore, I am not yet capable of serving as a team leader and am not suitable for promotion to Chunin. Please allow me to remain in Teacher's team; I will definitely work even harder..."

Before Uzuki Yugao could finish speaking, the Third Hokage frowned and waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "The situation is tense right now, and we're short of talent. Your mission is to be promoted to Chunin."

"Besides, the fact that someone is rewarded for completing a difficult task will boost everyone's morale. That's settled then. The Gale team is just outside the gate. Get to the battlefield quickly and do your part for Konoha."

Uzuki Yugao was silent for a moment, then said "Yes" expressionlessly and left the Hokage's office.

As soon as she stepped outside, Uzuki Yugao pouted.

As she walked out, she muttered angrily, "Then why not reward the teacher, but instead reward me!"

She doesn't want to leave Uchiha Natsu's team at all right now; in fact, it would be best if she never left.

She felt that she couldn't learn everything that Uchiha Natsu could teach her, even if she spent ten years. The Third Hokage had practically cut off her path to learning.

Moreover, she has yet to become an ally of Uchiha Natsu.

I haven't even accomplished my first goal after graduation, and I'm being forced to leave.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uzuki Yugao thought for a moment and then immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique.

A shadow clone was formed and then turned and ran quickly towards the Uchiha clan's territory, while Uzuki Yugao's main body headed towards the gate of Konoha Village.

Guided by the guards, Uzuki Yugao arrived at a certain place in the forest with the intelligence scroll and found the Moonlight Gale Squad.

At this time, the Moonlight Gale Team consisted of three people: Moonlight Gale was the captain, and the other two were boys who were in the same class as Uzuki Yugao.

Both boys were classmates of Uzuki Yugao in the past. One of them was a bit chubby and had a rather "fierce" appearance. His name was Naoto, and the other was thinner. His name was Hayato.

Both of them were genius students in the class, consistently ranking in the top five in both theoretical and practical exams.

Of course, it was a coincidence that this batch of students did not include any of the highly talented scions from prestigious families.

So these two people can already be considered geniuses.

Back then, Uzuki Yugao was usually in the top twenty in every exam, and even her only specialty, the Three Body Technique, was overshadowed by these two.

However, Uzuki Yugao didn't have much interaction with the two of them; they were just classmates.

Therefore, Uzuki Yugao first turned her gaze to the team leader.

Moonlight Gale was a boy two or three years older than him.

He wore a hat that covered his hair, with a tuft of hair above his nose. He had heavy eye bags and looked quite weak. He was wearing a ninja vest that only Chunin could wear.

Like all the men in Uzuki Yugao's eyes, he was plain-looking.

The burly Naoto, who was originally arrogant, suddenly widened his eyes after glancing at Uzuki Yugao who was walking over.

He felt that in just one month, Uzuki Yugao seemed like a completely different person, twice as beautiful as she was at school.
