Three Body Technique (White)]
Requirement: Master "Clone Technique," "Transformation Technique," and "Substitution Technique."
Progress: 1%
Effect: Your understanding exceeds normal ninjas, increasing effectiveness by 5%.
Note: Can be further upgraded.
Raizen's hands constantly formed seals, molding chakra to perform the technique.
The Three Body Technique was already 5% more effective than ordinary ninjas.
With further upgrades, the Transformation Technique could potentially become indistinguishable from reality.
Normally, Transformation Technique was difficult to fool sensory-type ninjas.
According to the Book of Formations, White Zetsu's Transformation was the most advanced among all shinobi, with only Naruto's malicious chakra sensing able to detect it.
Morning light filtered through the forest. Birds perched on branches, curious about the figure below.
"Hey, someone's here," Hyuga Natsu noticed a silhouette training.
"Isn't that our classmate, Uchiha Raizen?"
Her dark green hair swayed in the wind.
About fifty meters ahead, someone in an Uchiha robe was forming hand seals.
"Don't mind him. Let's continue finding a place to train the Byakugan," said Hyuga Tetsu, beside her.
The Hyuga clan naturally had the Byakugan, but activating its power required extensive training.
"Got it," Natsu nodded, averting her gaze.
The Byakugan allowed vision over a one-kilometer radius, increasing with training.
But training it in the village risked invading others' privacy—a serious offense, especially in front of perceptive ninjas.
And since Hyuga and Uchiha relations were delicate, contact should be minimal.
The two moved on.
Raizen frowned, sensing their eyes. Looking back, he saw them turning away.
"Hyuga Natsu and Hyuga Tetsu…"
Minor characters from the original series. Natsu belonged to a branch family, later serving as Hinabi Hyuga's attendant.
"Whatever," Raizen shook his head, returning to his training.
A month passed. Raizen had fully adapted to life at the ninja academy.
Late autumn brought colder weather, approaching the harshest season.
In Raizen's home:
"Finally mastered it," he said.
A faint electrical current flowed through his body, stimulating his cells.
He looked in the mirror.
His thin frame now held defined muscle, filling out his large bone structure.
Thanks to the Yotsuki clan's genetics, Raizen's growth was faster than ordinary Uchiha, and he appeared taller.
"Keep this up, and I might look like a full-fledged Kumogakure shinobi," he murmured, leaving the mirror.
His skin tone was closer to Kumogakure's fair complexions, and his hair was black rather than blond.
"Clone Technique fully learned. Substitution Technique is halfway done."
He opened the Three Body Technique entry to check progress.
Completing a single jutsu pushed Raizen's progress to just over 33%.
Now it had reached 45%.
This was because after mastering Clone Technique, Raizen shifted his focus to Lightning Release: Iron Chunk.
He picked it up quickly.
It wasn't surprising—Yotsuki clan members were naturally suited for Lightning Release and taijutsu.
"Still a little more to go," he exhaled.
The Robust Physique entry hadn't activated yet, but with a bit more training, he would meet the requirements.
The difference between him now and his self from over two months ago was like night and day.
He was no longer the fragile, malnourished boy he once was.

"Hey, Raizen, aren't you coming?"
A voice called from outside.
"I'm coming."
Raizen packed up, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
His home was on the edge of the Uchiha District, so visiting friends was easy, without entering deep into the clan area.
Kakashi often came to find him, for reasons unknown.
The two headed to the Ninja Academy together.
Through Kakashi, Raizen learned something important:
Kakashi's father had been on a top-secret mission and was finally returning.
Raizen realized this must have been a mission as a team leader infiltrating enemy territory.
They were currently in a pre-war sensitive period, and this mission would significantly impact the Land of Fire.
Kakashi's father faced a choice between mission and comrades, ultimately choosing his comrades.
"Just as I thought," Raizen muttered internally.
News of mission failure would spread within days, followed by overwhelming public opinion. Even the comrades he saved would blame him.
Raizen glanced at Kakashi.
He would graduate this year and quickly rise to Chunin in a short time.
"Kakashi, Raizen."
As they entered, Rin Noihara greeted them warmly.
Her gaze primarily focused on Kakashi.
Raizen simply nodded.
Whenever Kakashi was present, Rin gave more detailed explanations after class.
If it were only Raizen, she would have guided him for just a few days before stopping.
Kakashi continued attending, and Rin never said she would stop guiding him.
Obito often joined for various reasons.
"Alright, class is starting."
After some idle chatter, the Chunin teacher in charge of History patted the desk.
