Not bad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryun smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every member of the Uchiha Clan possessed the fire affinity. Many also had dual affinities, with lightning and fire being the most common combination, and few exceptions existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryun having dual affinities meant his initial talent was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he would focus on mastering ninjutsu of these two elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For fire release, the Great Fireball Technique and the Phoenix Flower Jutsu were mid-range and long-range group attack techniques, respectively. These two fire techniques were sufficient for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he currently lacked was a close-combat technique with enough power. Thus, the \"Lightning Release: Chidori\" became his top choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for defensive techniques? The best defense was a strong offense, so he didn't need any for now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating the \"Lightning Release: Chidori\" from scratch wouldn't be easy, as it was, after all, an A-rank technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he knew the complete hand seal sequence, he could probably learn it quickly with the help of shadow clones. But the creator of Chidori, Hatake Kakashi, hadn't even been born yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only a conceptual understanding of the technique, developing it independently would inevitably require a massive amount of time and effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, I'll have my shadow clone attend school. Once I develop Chidori, I'll return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Ryun summoned his shadow clones and began his research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn't know the initial steps of Chidori, he assumed that generating electricity in the palm was the first stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending half a day with his main body and three shadow clones straining to produce even a spark, the only result was his main body letting out a loud fart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I'll have to rely on hand seals to guide the chakra conversion into electricity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryun had initially wondered if he could skip hand seals altogether and use his strong mental focus to convert chakra directly. But now, it seemed he had overestimated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using hand seals to guide chakra conversion was a method taught at the Ninja Academy. For example, Ryun knew which seals to use to convert chakra into fire release and exhale it from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foundational knowledge in ninjutsu was decent, so he also knew which seals would convert chakra into electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just generating electricity from his palm required six hand seals...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll memorize this feeling first and try simplifying it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chidori supposedly only required three hand seals, but knowing those three wouldn't help Ryun much right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three seals were the simplified version used after fully mastering the technique. Trying to perform Chidori with just three seals without prior mastery was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days passed, and after completing his daily physical training, Ryun spent most of his time relentlessly practicing lightning release and developing Chidori.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, prolonged exposure to electricity had damaged his hands. Worried about potential long-term injuries, Ryun was forced to pause his Chidori development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the Ninja Academy's final exams were approaching, followed by a long summer break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, Ryun's main body attended the Ninja Academy to take his final exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today would involve a series of tests. After this, when he returned to school, he would officially be a sixth-year student...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, the Third Hokage set aside his busy schedule to personally oversee the examination process at the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the academy's principal, he didn't always need to be present, but he was required for major events like final exams and entrance ceremonies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Hokage brought his three disciples with him today. They now sat in the principal's office, gathered around a crystal ball, observing the graduation exams of the sixth-year students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graduation exams typically tested one of the three basic transformation techniques. As long as a student's ninjutsu talent wasn't abysmal, graduating from the Ninja Academy was usually straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orochimaru, where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya, who had been watching the crystal ball, called out as Orochimaru suddenly stood up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a bit boring. I'll take a walk around...\" Orochimaru replied without turning back, waving his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Orochimaru left, Tsunade also stood up and walked out of the principal's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsunade, what are you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiraiya could finish, Tsunade snapped impatiently, \"None of your business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An awkward silence fell between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go see what those two are up to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya's retreating back but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru wandered aimlessly through the Ninja Academy before stopping by the window of Class 5-1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His snake-like eyes carefully observed Ryun, who was intently working on his exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the gaze, Ryun suddenly looked up and locked eyes with Orochimaru through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An interesting Uchiha brat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru smiled meaningfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade suddenly appeared beside Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. Just observing an interesting little one...\" Orochimaru replied in a low, raspy voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both kept their voices quiet to avoid disturbing the students inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An interesting little one? You mean Kushina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was surprised. She knew Class 5-1 was Kushina's class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come to check on Kushina and her little desk neighbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, neither Kushina nor Ryun seemed to notice her presence, both absorbed in their exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Orochimaru answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No? Then who—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade paused, then seemed to realize something and hesitantly uttered a name:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha... Ryun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? You know him too?\" Orochimaru was now the surprised one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! What are you two doing, sneaking around like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, Jiraiya's arrival made them frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His loud voice even disturbed some of the students inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Koda stepped out to check and gestured for them to be quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya by the collar and dragged him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You moron! Don't you know not to disturb the examinees?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty minutes later, the written exam ended, and all students of Class 5-1 gathered in a corner of the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final exams still included shurikenjutsu, a subject considered even more important than the three basic transformation techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in fifth or sixth year, instructors placed great emphasis on weapon throwing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students who couldn't properly throw kunai or shuriken would only be dead weight on the battlefield, wasting precious supplies. Such individuals didn't even deserve to wear Konoha's forehead protector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a student lacked talent in ninjutsu but excelled elsewhere (like Might Dai, Gai, or Lee), Konoha might still allow them to graduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they couldn't even pass shurikenjutsu... Konoha wouldn't give them a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>📖 Like the story?
