Chapter 13: Can You Teach Me Some Proper Fire Techniques? (1/2)

By a small lake nestled against the mountains.

On the dock extending into the lake.

Wakaho remembered that Fugaku had taught Itachi the Great Fireball Technique at a similar small lake. It made sense, as it prevented environmental damage and potential fire hazards.

But Wakaho felt a bit shortchanged...

Still, considering it was for learning ninjutsu, he could let it slide.

"Wakaho-kun, this technique requires a lot of chakra. If you can't learn it immediately, don't force yourself."

"You have great talent. Remember the hand seals and the chakra flow. As you continue to refine your chakra, you'll be able to perform it eventually."

"Watch carefully!"

Fugaku instructed briefly, then performed the hand seals in slow motion.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Boom——!

This was another signature Uchiha ninjutsu!

Its difficulty level was A-rank, and its minimum power level was also A-rank.

It could release fire dragon bullets from four directions, making it nearly impossible for the enemy to evade, forcing them to take the full brunt of the attack.

[Ninjutsu Type: A-Rank Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique.]

[Learning Conditions: 3]

[A-Rank Fire Chakra Nature Saturation: √]

[A-Rank Chakra Control: ×]

[B-Rank Chakra Reserves: ×]

[Triggering "Light of the Fire Release," reducing the learning/activation requirements of fire release ninjutsu by 50%.]

[Successfully learned ninjutsu: Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique.]

Thanks to the Light of the Fire Release, Wakaho learned a brand-new fire release technique.

'So my chakra reserves are only at C-rank right now.'

Wakaho realized this clearly.

Both he and Obito had tested with chakra paper, and their initial attribute was pure fire.

With the single tomoe Sharingan, his chakra control was naturally not low, but clearly, it wasn't enough yet.

But in terms of chakra reserves, due to his age, it was indeed a shortcoming.

'Waiting for the Sharingan to level up.'

'Tailed beasts, curse seals, Hashirama's cells... if all else fails, I could learn the Yin Seal, or go to Kirigakure to snatch Samehada.'

Wakaho quickly jotted down notes in his mental notebook.

Every step he took now might be a small step for himself, but it would later become a giant leap for the Uchiha clan.

There was no other way; he was just that responsible as a future clan leader.

"I think I've got it, Clan Leader."

Wakaho paused deliberately, waiting for Fugaku to lower his guard before striking with a surprise.

Swish swish swish——

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Boom——!

Four fire dragon heads burst out!

Although the scale and size were smaller, and the temperature was not as high as Fugaku's demonstration.

This technique was difficult mainly due to chakra control, but it also had a significant chakra cost.

Still, performing it meant he had learned it.

Regardless, Wakaho had mastered it!

In fact, if he wanted to go all out, relying on his talent with fire release, he could produce a more powerful version.

But why bother?

Today's goal was to squeeze as much out of Fugaku as possible; showing off too much at once would ruin the plan.

"Clan Leader..."

After enjoying Fugaku's expression for two seconds, Wakaho frowned.

"Teacher Daiki said I could graduate early."

"So, Clan Leader, can you teach me some proper ninjutsu?"

"???" Fugaku's eye twitched.

This was a genuine A-rank fire release. How was it not proper!?

Kid, don't blame people randomly just because you're exceptionally talented!

"Um... Wakaho-kun, is there something wrong with this technique?" Fugaku asked with a puzzled expression.
