What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The words reached her lips, but Samui once again thought of her younger brother's face.
In the end, she excused herself and left the secret chamber.
After informing Samoto and the higher-ups, they could all tell immediately that the important thing wasn't what she said....Uchiha Raizen was simply using it as an excuse.
Even if she hadn't said those words, Uchiha Raizen would still have found another reason.
Essentially, he wasn't satisfied with the benefits he had been offered and wanted more.
And the higher-ups, as long as he didn't overstep, would surely meet his demands step by step for the sake of obtaining the Uchiha bloodline.
If, one day, Raizen truly returned to Kumogakure…
She herself would carry political stain....having spoken words harmful to unity.
It would drag down her younger brother's future. He had only just become a shinobi, with a bright path ahead.
Samui suddenly felt annoyed and melancholic.
Why did she have to be the one responsible for Uchiha Raizen's matters? And why did Raizen just happen to fix his attention on her?
Uchiha District, Raizen's home.
Moonlight poured into the courtyard. Raizen returned home and slid open the paper door.
In his hand were two ninjutsu scrolls.
With Reading Absorption (White) and Basic Memory (White), Raizen quickly understood the scrolls and memorized them completely.
He had already memorized the Lightning Release: Lightning Finger he obtained earlier.
But he hadn't practiced it yet....this would be his first time training Lightning Release ninjutsu.
During the past six days, Raizen had been learning E-Rank ninjutsu from scratch.
After several days of tree-climbing practice to build his foundation, and with Muscle Memory (White) assisting, Raizen had mastered the minimum chakra control needed.
The next step was to move from tree-climbing to walking on water.
Raizen began extracting chakra from within his body.
Strands of chakra refined from his cells flowed through his chakra network.
All ninjutsu required chakra.
Even taijutsu-focused arts like the Eight Gates still needed chakra to activate.
The official first handbook, The Book of "Rin", stated that the mixture of physical energy produced by 130 trillion cells and spiritual energy was called "stamina."
That stamina was essentially what people called chakra.
To perform ninjutsu, stamina had to be converted into chakra.
This was why exhausting one's chakra could be fatal....it was literally dying from total physical collapse.
In the shinobi world, everyone possessed chakra—even plants and animals.
In Boruto, the concept of "planetary chakra" was introduced. Boruto's Rasengan: Uzuhiko used this idea.
By striking chakra into someone's body, it would rotate with the planet. As long as the planet spun, Uzuhiko would never stop.
So far, it had the strongest on-screen performance among Rasengan variants.
Of course, such things were still far away from Raizen.
He extended his right hand's index and middle fingers, converting neutral chakra into Lightning Release chakra.
Among Raizen's chakra natures were "Lightning," "Fire," "Yin," and "Yang."
Thus, he had a natural advantage for Lightning Release.
Faint electricity began spreading beneath his skin, making his fingers tingle.
Raizen endured the sensation and continued carefully controlling the chakra.
He didn't know how long had passed. The night was silent, the shadows of trees swayed softly outside.
"You have gained an Entry: [Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja (White)]."
[Entry: Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja (White)]
Requirement Achieved: Successfully used Lightning Release ninjutsu once.
Progress: (Completed)
Effect: Increases your innate talent for Lightning Release nature transformation by 10%.
Note: Can be upgraded further.
Upgrade Path 1: Merge with Muscle Memory (White) and Strong Physique (White) to advance into Lightning Release Genin (Green).
Raizen quietly listened to the voice in his mind and finally understood how advancement worked.
It seemed that once he satisfied most conditions, the system would reveal upgrade paths.
"Apprentice" clearly referred to his current level.
Shinobi Academy students could also be considered trainees.
"Strong Physique—this probably means I need to train my body well."
Raizen glanced at his more muscular body and made up his mind.
Just a white-tier entry had boosted his talent by 10%. A green-tier entry would surely be much stronger.
After a short rest, Raizen unrolled the second scroll.
Lightning Release: Lightning Finger was offensive—releasing it was enough.
But for now, he planned to focus on another Lightning Release jutsu that would strengthen his body.
The deeper a ninja's understanding and proficiency, the greater the ninjutsu's power.
For example, Sasuke's first Great Fireball versus when he mastered it...the scale difference was enormous.
"All right. Time to train Lightning Release: Iron Block."
