Chapter 2: The First Display of Heaven-Defying Comprehension!
The system prompt echoing in his mind made Uchiha Dali tense up, but soon, a look of joy spread across his face.
"As expected... Instantly comprehending all Fire Release ninjutsu—so this is the power of my heaven-defying comprehension?"
"This golden finger is truly amazing!"
Unable to contain his excitement, Uchiha Dali gave a thumbs-up.
However, a new issue arose.
While he had mastered all Fire Release ninjutsu, his mind overflowing with related knowledge, the real challenge lay elsewhere—using high-level Fire Release techniques required a sufficient amount of chakra.
Chakra was the foundation, the "one" in an equation; without it, no matter how many "zeroes" he had in terms of knowledge, they were meaningless.
"The method for refining chakra..."
Uchiha Dali searched his memory.
Sure enough, as he concentrated on recalling the process of chakra refinement, a system prompt appeared in his mind.
[Ding! You are diligently refining chakra. Your chakra has increased by 100%!]
With the system notification, he distinctly felt a warm energy surging from every fiber of his being.
To be precise, it wasn't materializing out of nowhere—it was being extracted from countless cells within his body.
"This is... chakra! And it doubled in an instant! Incredible!"
Like a gentle stream, chakra was drawn from his cells and coursed through his body, eventually converging toward his dantian through various meridians.
There, it merged with his existing chakra, forming a significantly larger energy core than before.
Uchiha Dali felt an immediate boost in his mental clarity and physical stamina.
He was well aware of how difficult chakra refinement was for the average person.
Even geniuses like Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi constantly faced chakra shortages.
Yet now, thanks to his heaven-defying comprehension, his chakra had doubled in just one second!
If those so-called prodigies saw this, they'd probably be green with envy!
"This is insane!"
Uchiha Dali couldn't help but exclaim.
Now that he had significantly increased his chakra reserves and mastered all Fire Release ninjutsu, it was time to decide his next move.
Several choices lay before him.
He could abandon Konoha entirely, becoming a rogue ninja, free to roam the world as he pleased.
Alternatively, he could return to the battlefield and continue fighting on the frontlines on behalf of the Uchiha Clan against the Hidden Mist Village.
The third option was to remain a wounded soldier and return to Konoha to recuperate.
The first option didn't appeal to him—after all, he had finally crossed into this world, and he had his own ambitions.
Returning to the frontlines wasn't realistic either.
Even though he had mastered all Fire Release ninjutsu, his injuries hadn't healed completely.
His heaven-defying comprehension couldn't miraculously cure his wounds.
Jumping back into battle now would likely make him cannon fodder.
After weighing his options, Uchiha Dali decided to return to Konoha.
First, he needed to heal. Once recovered, he would begin laying out plans to help the Uchiha Clan escape their impending doom.
Since he was here—and as a member of the Uchiha Clan—he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"The Uchiha Clan will no longer be at the mercy of others, trampled and slaughtered as they please."
"Extermination? Impossible!"
"I'm here now—something like that will never happen again!"
A chilling gleam flashed through Uchiha Dali's eyes.
With his decision made, he prepared to locate Konoha's logistics unit and return as a wounded soldier, waiting for the right opportunity.
He crouched down, scanning the ground for traces to track the medical team's direction.
At that moment, another system prompt rang in his mind.
[Ding! You have activated Tracking and Reconnaissance. Your tracking skill has been upgraded to max level!]
[At max level, your perception ability is greatly enhanced. You can detect minuscule details that normally go unnoticed and hear subtle movements within a certain range!]
A max-level tracking skill!
Uchiha Dali's entire body trembled as a flood of corresponding information surged into his mind.
Simultaneously, his perception, hearing, and sense of smell were exponentially enhanced.
The most immediate change was in his vision.
As the system had described, details that were previously unnoticeable now stood out in crystal-clear clarity.
A hundred meters away, deep within the bark of a tree, a small insect gnawed on the wood.
Two hundred meters away, a centipede lay hidden among dried leaves.
Three hundred meters above, a small bird zipped through the sky.
But it wasn't just his eyesight—his hearing and sense of smell had also improved dramatically.
Ordinary people could never detect the subtle rustling of a flying bird's wings or the tiny movements of a hidden centipede.
But now, Uchiha Dali could see every detail of their movements and hear every sound as if they were right beside him.
Even his sense of smell had become astonishingly precise.
In an instant, he could discern thousands—even tens of thousands—of different scents in the air and pinpoint their exact sources.
"This is god-tier level!"
In awe of his newfound abilities, Uchiha Dali quickly locked onto the location of Konoha's logistics unit.
However, his brows furrowed.
The thick scent of blood, the distinctive odors of the medical unit, the sounds of fierce combat, agonized screams, and muffled grunts—
All of it pointed to a grim reality.
Konoha's logistics unit was under attack.
What now?
Uchiha Dali's eyes turned sharp.
From what he could sense, the enemy numbered only five.
Yet they were wreaking havoc on Konoha's medical team, leaving heavy casualties in their wake.
Without a second thought, Uchiha Dali dashed toward the battlefield.
