From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Naruto had already completed the sprint and handstand running; now all he had to do was the plank and horse stance.

With Naruto's thick skin, he naturally wouldn't have thought of these scientific training methods. These were just a basic physical training plan that Sasuke designed for him!

These basic and simple methods are the best training methods for Naruto!

Konoha Village, Sakura Haruno's home.

Inside the courtyard, Sakura kept manipulating the small water sphere in her hand. Under her constant control, the water sphere gradually transformed into a human shape, and its features and figure began to slowly become clear...

"Hahahaha, I finally succeeded!"

Sakura's face lit up with excitement, and she shouted with joy. A small liquid creature, whose size and appearance were very similar to Sasuke's, appeared in her palm.

"Sakura, why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?" Haruno Mebuki, the mother, walked in wearing a cheongsam with the family crest and scolded, "How many times have I told you to pay attention to your ladylike image!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, Mom." Sakura blushed and quickly removed the liquid figurine, apologizing.

"Oh, right, Mom!" Sakura seemed to remember something, walked over and hugged Haruno Mei, pouting, "Mom, will you teach me ninjutsu?"

Haruno Mebuki asked irritably, "You still want Mom to teach you ninjutsu? Have you even understood everything you learned at the ninja academy?"

"Of course!" Sakura nodded quickly, revealing a confident smile.

Haruno Meibu pondered for a moment, stroked her daughter's pink hair, and asked, "What kind of ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

"Water escape!"

Meanwhile, in the training grounds of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke stood with his legs in a lunge position, holding the scabbard in his left hand and his right hand on the hilt of the sword. He held his breath, his eyes fixed on a small artificial hill thirty meters away, as if struck by lightning, and remained motionless.

Although Sasuke appeared to remain motionless, his chakra had already been channeled into the katana in his hand, turning it a deep red.

Streams of barely perceptible chakra are constantly colliding and moving in the form of molecular motion, increasing temperature and explosive power!

Meanwhile, Sasuke was also constantly gathering his strength, preparing to unleash his sword!

Finally, Sasuke made his move, and when he did, it was astonishing!

In an instant, Sasuke drew his sword, and a flash of crimson light illuminated the scene. A brilliant, moon-like blade of flame tore through the air, carrying intense heat as it hurtled towards the distant artificial mountain with lightning speed. Wherever it passed, the solid earth and rocks on the ground were scorched red!

With a loud bang!

The five-meter-high artificial hill was cleaved in two. After the flames and light of the blade had gone far away, the artificial hill, now split in two, fell heavily to the ground under the influence of gravity, kicking up clouds of dust!

Sasuke stared silently at the small artificial hill for a while before slowly exhaling. With a nimble wrist, he slid the katana into its sheath with a steady, slow, and graceful motion.

Sword leaps into flames!

Chapter 24 Sword Leap Flame: Modification and Learning Lightning Release Technique

Sword Leaps into Flame!

To be more precise, it should be Sword Leap Flame - Modified!

Uchiha Shisui's three sword techniques, in order of increasing difficulty, are: Sword Leap Flame, Gale Sword, and Sun Halo Dance!

Sword Leap Flame is a ninja sword technique that uses fire release techniques with a katana to create a flame blade to attack enemies. It is primarily a fire-attribute technique, but also incorporates some wind-attribute characteristics.

The Gale Sword, based on the Sword Leap Flame, incorporates the technique of instantaneous movement. It continuously builds up momentum during a dash, increasing explosive power to unleash a giant, faster, and more powerful flaming blade to attack the opponent.

The Sun Halo Dance is essentially an enhanced version of the Gale Sword. When used in conjunction with the Instantaneous Movement Technique, it unleashes three massive fiery light blades in a single instant!

Sasuke hasn't mastered Shisui's Body Flicker Technique yet, so he can only start learning from the Sword Leap Flame technique from the Three Styles of Sword Technique.

But he also faces a problem: he doesn't have wind-style chakra!

This was quite awkward for him. Sword Leap Flame was indeed a ninja sword technique based on Uchiha-style swordsmanship and fire-style ninjutsu, but as the saying goes, "wind helps the fire," so in order to make it more powerful and faster, Shisui added some characteristics of wind-style chakra.

As we all know, wind and thunder are two attributes that excel in speed; one is agile, and the other is swift.

Sasuke currently lacks wind-style chakra. Developing a new chakra nature usually requires a Jonin-level ninja to spend one or two years meticulously studying it. Sasuke is not capable of doing so now, nor does he have the time or energy to dedicate to it.

As for incorporating lightning style, Sasuke hasn't even learned the basics of lightning ninjutsu yet, so how can he possibly incorporate the characteristics of lightning style chakra?

However, this did not stump Sasuke. Since he did not have wind-style chakra, Sasuke took another approach, specializing in strengthening the fire-style chakra of the sword leaping flame and incorporating some of the techniques of iaido draw technique!

If we don't have the conditions, we will create them!

There were no roads in the world originally, but as more people walked on them, they became roads!

His education and values ​​from his previous life made him inherently adventurous, unafraid of difficulties and setbacks.

Fire-style chakra is indeed not known for its speed, but when it comes to burst power, wind and lightning are no match for fire!

Explosive force can often determine the instantaneous speed of an object!

The faster the molecules move, the higher the temperature, and the hotter the object; the slower the molecules move, the lower the temperature, and the colder the object!

Fire-attribute chakra is infused into the blade, while tiny chakra particles mimicking molecules are rapidly rubbed and moved around on the blade, increasing its explosive power and temperature!

Since it's not his own body, there's no need to worry about getting hurt, so Sasuke can do this relatively quickly!

This was his first step in improving the Sword Leap Flame Technique, and the second step was to incorporate some techniques from the Iaijutsu!

Sword Leap Flame is not an Iaijutsu, but an extremely simple straight slash!

Iaijutsu is a sword technique that involves drawing the sword instantly to leave the enemy no opening and thus defeating them. This technique can be said to be a very common move, after all, it is just a simple draw slash, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master!

The katana and its scabbard have a certain curvature, and the iaido technique utilizes this curvature and the friction generated by the blade to create a powerful burst of force in an instant. By drawing the katana in accordance with its own curvature, the strike can be fatal in one blow!

After completing these two steps, Sasuke believed that, at the same level of strength, his Sword Leap Flame Modified was in no way inferior to Shisui's original Sword Leap Flame, and even surpassed it in terms of explosive power!

"In a way, this can be considered as me modifying a move."

After sheathing his katana, Sasuke gazed at the small artificial hill in the distance and muttered to himself, his tone revealing a rare genuine joy and sense of accomplishment.

"However, this is only a product built on the foundation laid by others. I must not be arrogant, but I will definitely be able to create my own unique skills in the future!"

After whispering a warning to himself, Sasuke noticed the gaze fixed on him. With a thought, he looked in the direction of the gaze.

Suddenly, a cat appeared on the rooftop in my field of vision; it was Tian Huo.

On Tianhuo's back were also five small scrolls!

What I asked for has arrived!

Sasuke smiled slightly and walked towards the direction of Tahi.

----------------

At night, after his usual daily summary and meditation, Sasuke took out the ninjutsu scroll he had obtained from Tahito that day.

The first thing he opened was a scroll of lightning-type ninjutsu!

Most of the above consists of basic theoretical knowledge of Lightning Release ninjutsu, and D-rank and C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu such as Lightning Release: Earth Walk and Lightning Release: Lightning Ball. There isn't even a single advanced ninjutsu of B-rank or above.

But Sasuke was not disappointed, nor did he underestimate it because these were just the basics. On the contrary, he looked at them very carefully and did not miss any details.

An hour later, Sasuke put down the scroll of lightning-style ninjutsu and let out a long sigh of relief.

"As expected, there was no record of any method for stimulating and activating physical cells with lightning-attribute chakra."

In addition to its strong offensive capabilities, high penetrating power, and ability to paralyze enemies, Lightning Release also has another characteristic: it can enhance the user's speed by activating and transforming physical cells with chakra!

In the original work, only two ninjutsu possess this characteristic: Kakashi Hatake's Chidori and the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Kakashi's Chidori uses a special method to stimulate the user's leg and arm muscles, enhancing the speed of the straight thrust and the extremely strong penetrating power of the arm!

The Raikage lineage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is even stronger, as it enhances the body's and even the brain's reflexes.

It's important to know that Kakashi's Chidori doesn't have the effect of enhancing reflexes. Without the Sharingan's assistance, when Kakashi first created Chidori, its thrusting speed was...

Not only can the enemy not react in time, but even Kakashi himself cannot react in time. If he encounters a slightly stronger enemy, he will be able to seize the opportunity to counterattack in an instant!

Lightning Release Chakra Mode involves concentrating Lightning Release chakra throughout the body, covering the entire body with chakra and lightning. This activates the physical body, allows the use of Lightning Body Flicker, and greatly enhances defensive capabilities. Additionally, the lightning that erupts within the body can increase the speed of nerve conduction.

It can even form a lightning armor that covers the user's body, protecting the user's body.

"It seems we'll have to start targeting Kakashi in the future..."

It's impossible not to be disappointed that the above method didn't activate the body's cells with Lightning Release chakra.

But Sasuke was prepared, after all, Lightning Release chakra is an extremely dangerous type of chakra, and if used improperly, it could kill himself instead of his enemy.

Furthermore, the activation of physical cells by Lightning Release chakra is a rare and advanced technique within Lightning Release. It's impossible for even basic, low-level Lightning Release ninjutsu to have a method for cultivating it.

Although there is no way to stimulate and activate the body's cells with elemental chakra, Sasuke still intends to seriously train in these low-level lightning release ninjutsu in the future.

After all, a tall building starts from the ground up; laying a solid foundation is more important than anything else!

In the original story, before the Chunin Exams finals, the original Kakashi spent a month risking his life to master Chidori. Kakashi's exact words to Guy at that time were:

"Sasuke almost lost his life trying to master this technique!"

It's clear that Chidori isn't so easy to master!

However, Sasuke did not master any basic Lightning Release ninjutsu at that time. At least neither the manga nor the anime showed any signs that Sasuke knew Lightning Release ninjutsu before learning Chidori.

If he starts training in Lightning Release ninjutsu now and lays a solid foundation, he will likely spend much less time learning Chidori than the original owner of this body in the future!

Chapter 25 Congratulations, you've even learned how to answer first!

Late at night, in his office in the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage sat calmly in his chair, watching Shimura Danzo suddenly arrive.

To be honest, the Third Hokage's mood wasn't very good when he saw Shimura Danzo. Even his recent happy mood immediately disappeared the moment he saw this guy.

The Third Hokage understood his former comrade and friend's thoughts very well; Danzo would never have come to him unless something was wrong.

While not necessarily all bad things, they are definitely not good things, and are often extremely troublesome!

After a moment of staring at each other, Danzo spoke with a serious expression: "Hiruzen, I heard that recently the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and..."

"Danzo, that child's name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Before Danzo could finish speaking, the Third Hokage frowned and interrupted him.

"Heh..." Danzo's lips curled into a mocking smile, but he didn't continue arguing with the Third Hokage about this issue, since that wasn't his purpose in coming here. He simply went along with what the Third Hokage was saying.

"I heard that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha have been getting close lately? Hiruzen, do you know how dangerous this is?"

"Danzo, I remember Root has already disbanded. How did you find out about this?"

The Third Hokage did not answer Danzo's question, but instead looked directly into Danzo's eyes and asked a question in return.
