Naruto: From Ninja Academy to an Early Grave Chapter 206 206: My Ninjutsu Stands Above Yours II

Seeing that the other party was still willing to respectfully call him "ojisan," Fugaku felt a great sense of satisfaction on an emotional level.

Since everyone present was an important figure in Konoha, he no longer bothered to hide anything. "For the Uchiha clan, once a ninja advances beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan, both eyes can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"With those eyes, one awakens an ultimate ninjutsu that resides within their ocular power—a chakra giant known as Susanoo."

"Oh? So the three-tomoe can evolve even further?"

"Yes. This is the greatest secret of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. But since everyone here isn't an outsider, I trust in your ability to keep it confidential."

In truth, quite a few people were already aware of the existence of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Regardless of what opinions they held about the Uchiha, Fugaku himself was well regarded. Everyone present nodded, expressing that they would not speak of this matter outside.

Makoto explained, "Fugaku-ojisan, I don't know what Susanoo is. The technique I used earlier—I simply grasped it naturally after training my chakra's Yin and Yang attributes to their limits. It's just a Yin Release ninjutsu."

Fugaku hesitated for a mont before asking, "Um… Makoto, could you demonstrate it again?"

"No problem."

Makoto mobilized his chakra, and soon a humanoid skeleton ford around his body. Flesh followed, rapidly growing over it, until a seated chakra giant took shape. Its height did not exceed the roof, and its appearance matched his own.

Compared to the one he had displayed outside earlier, this version looked different—before, it wore battle gear; now, it was dressed in casual ho clothing.

Fugaku was instantly stunned. Carefully stepping forward, he drew a kunai and said, "Makoto, excuse ."

"Go ahead."

Fugaku moved swiftly, achieving the historic feat of stabbing "Susanoo" with a kunai before even Danzō ever could.

Clang!

A crisp tallic sound rang out. The kunai struck Makoto's solidified chakra body, producing the sound of tal colliding with tal—but it failed to break through the defense. The giant's durability was clearly imnse.

Fugaku sheathed his kunai and returned to his seat, frowning in confusion. "Judging from the formation process and defensive strength, this really does seem to be Susanoo. But it doesn't match the records of my clan."

"Makoto, the Susanoo you used—it looks like you can freely adjust its size and external appearance. Is that correct?"

"That's right. Since it's my ninjutsu, everything is naturally under my control. Its size and appearance can be changed however I want. Is there a problem with that?"

Fugaku felt as though his entire understanding of the world had been shaken. "Th-That's impossible… Susanoo's form and height should be fixed at each stage. Even accounting for differences in chakra reserves between individuals, it shouldn't vary to this extent…"

Makoto smiled. "That's why I said, Fugaku-ojisan—this is probably just a ninjutsu similar to Susanoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's not called Susanoo. I call it Yin Release: Perfect Chakra Avatar."

"Th-This… can sothing like this really be achieved without the Sharingan? Just through training?"

If that were true, then what aning was there in the Uchiha clan's relentless pursuit of the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Not to ntion the imnse suffering required to awaken those legendary eyes—and the blindness that ca from frequent use.

Especially considering how effortlessly Makoto used his technique.

A cost? What cost? If he could casually demonstrate it like this, then there was clearly no price at all. Could it be… that this was the true way for the Uchiha clan to develop their power?

"That's right. As long as you train the nature transformation of Yin-attributed chakra to its limit, you'll naturally be able to use corresponding Yin Release ninjutsu."

"And not just that—the shadow techniques of the Nara clan, or the mind techniques of the Yamanaka clan—none of them are particularly difficult for ."

After saying this, Makoto dispersed the chakra giant. The shadow beneath him suddenly warped, writhing like an octopus with multiple tendrils.

Those tendrils behaved like solid weapons. As they swept past a nearby load-bearing pillar, they left behind several deep gouges.

Not only that—one of the shadow tendrils broke away from the main body, yet continued to exist independently. Before everyone's eyes, it transford into a separate humanoid figure.

Though completely black, it was unmistakably Makoto's form—and it clearly possessed independent movent and offensive capability.

The black figure silently slipped into Minato's shadow, then reappeared behind him, extending sharp, claw-like fingers—as if it could at any mont have a very "heart-to-heart" conversation with its opponent.

Minato maintained a smile the entire ti. He didn't mind being used as a demonstration, nor was he worried about his safety. There was sufficient trust between them.

He even reached out with interest, poking the shadow a few tis, confirming for everyone that it had truly solidified and possessed a deadly, hard-to-defend offensive capability.

A true Shadow Clone Technique.

At this point, following Uchiha Fugaku, Nara Shikaku was also completely stunned.

There was no doubt—this was their clan's shadow technique. But Makoto was using it at a level far beyond theirs—more advanced, more outrageous, and far more dangerous.

This fully demonstrated that Makoto's ninjutsu did not co from their clan's secret teachings—because he didn't need them. He had created it himself purely through talent.

In the early stages, the Nara clan's shadow techniques could only serve as support. Offensive power mainly relied on the "butterfly" in the Ino–Shika–Chō combination. Only after reaching advanced levels did they gain so independent lethality.

But just look at Makoto's shadow techniques—they were practically tailor-made for assassination. If mbers of their clan could learn this, each and every one of them could beco a master shadow assassin.

At that thought, Nara Shikaku's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

He wanted it. He really, really wanted it.

Although Makoto hadn't demonstrated any mind techniques, Yamanaka Inoichi was certain that if he did, the results would be even more outrageous than anything their clan could produce.

He muttered, "So… when Yin-attributed chakra is trained to its limit, ninjutsu can undergo this kind of qualitative transformation?"

Makoto replied, "That's right, Inoichi-senpai. The sa applies to Yang Release as well. The giant form I used earlier may look similar to the Akimichi clan's Expansion Technique, but I call it Yang Release: Perfect Giant Form—it corresponds to Yin Release: Perfect Chakra Avatar."

Chakra possesses Yin and Yang attributes. After training them, the ninjutsu perford are called Yin Release or Yang Release. Techniques like the Expansion Technique, shadow techniques, and mind techniques all fall under this category.

What the Sage of Six Paths mastered was a higher-level Yin–Yang Release. It was fundantally different from separate Yin Release or Yang Release techniques—they were not comparable at all.

Akimichi Chōza interjected, "Makoto, was that expansion earlier your limit?"

"It wasn't, Chōza-senpai. As long as I have enough chakra, I can grow indefinitely. But aside from intimidation, it doesn't really have much combat value—it's basically a waste of chakra."

Chōza: "…"

How could it have no value? He dread of becoming that big—of stepping on a tailed beast, hands on his hips, and bursting into triumphant laughter toward the sky.

Just imagining it made his blood boil with excitent.

And you're telling him it has no aning?

At this point, the Third Hokage spoke up. "Alright, everyone can rest easy now. All of this was created by Makoto through his own talent. None of it involves any leakage of your clans' secret techniques."

Fugaku nodded firmly. "That's correct. His technique is even more flexible and self-directed than our clan's Susanoo. While it possesses similar capabilities, it's also far more versatile—it has already completely surpassed Susanoo."

The heads of the Ino–Shika–Chō clans also nodded in agreent.

At this point, whether Makoto had created it himself or learned it from them no longer mattered.

Learn? Go ahead and learn. If there's anything you don't understand, just co to our clan's secret technique archives and study them freely.

When it cos to geniuses, how can that be called stealing?

Right now, they practically wanted to throw all their clan techniques at him. Their only request was that after studying them, Makoto might offer even a small bit of feedback in return.

Nothing was more important than strengthening their own clan techniques.

Only the Hyūga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, exchanged a glance, feeling rather conflicted. What more advanced abilities could the Byakugan even develop? Should they send so people over for Makoto to study?

If he could produce sothing on the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan, then the Hyūga clan would strike it rich. A Byakugan leak? That wouldn't even be a concern anymore.

Seeing that no one had further objections, the Third Hokage continued, "I understand everyone's concerns. But Makoto is the most talented ninja Konoha has ever produced."

"Perhaps you don't know this yet, but he has already mastered Ice Release. And not long ago, through his own efforts, he successfully fused Wood Release's bloodline limit—its power is no less than that of the First Hokage."

As Hiruzen said this, he swept his gaze across everyone present, pausing briefly on Fugaku.

He intended to use this opportunity to wake these major Konoha clans up—to make them fall in line behind the Hokage and behave.

What Fugaku was thinking, however, was this: they already couldn't deal with sothing resembling Susanoo—so what difference would adding Wood Release make?

The others weren't particularly surprised either. A genius, after all—doing outrageous things was to be expected.

Their only thought was that ever since Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had passed away, Konoha had finally produced another "godlike" figure.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't care about Wood Release. There was no way their clan could produce another Uchiha Madara anyway. What he cared about was Yin-attributed chakra training.

"Um, Makoto… could we allow so of our clan's younger mbers to follow you and learn?"

This was what everyone truly cared about. Ice Release and Wood Release were things they didn't dare hope for—but gaining the opportunity to learn was what mattered most.

Makoto replied, "I've never minded sharing my training experience and results. But in the end, I'm still a Konoha ninja. Everything depends on the Hokage's arrangents."

As he spoke, he first looked toward Minato. The two exchanged their thoughts instantly within a genjutsu space, then Makoto turned his gaze to Hiruzen.

The Third Hokage understood clearly—Makoto intended for Minato to play the role of the one distributing benefits, using this enormous favor to secure the support of all Konoha's clans.

In that case, when Minato returned to power in the future, Konoha would be exceptionally stable and united. The lingering authority from Hiruzen's long rule would not hinder him. It was a good thing.

Hiruzen didn't mind. "Alright, no one will be disappointed. We'll discuss this matter in detail later. For now, everyone may leave—let Makoto continue his training in peace."

At that mont, Minato finally spoke. "Makoto and I have already planned for this. That's why we established this dōjō."

"However, so aspects are still under verification. I hope everyone can be patient. If everything proceeds smoothly, then all of your needs will be t. As the Third Hokage said, let's end things here for today."
