Chapter 31: The Limitless Potential of a Self-Created Jutsu!
The sequence of hand signs isn't the issue.
The key lies in the flow of chakra within the body and the handling of certain details.
Without understanding these, it's impossible to learn a jutsu.
Future Kakashi will be known as the 'Copy Ninja' because he learns common jutsu that aren't too difficult. When has he ever used truly powerful jutsu from others?
The jutsu developed by Uchiha Takashi is one that spells doom for anyone else who tries to learn it.
"Fire Style: Flame Cloak!"
A layer of faint red light, like a thin veil of flames, enveloped his body.
The surrounding temperature began to rise.
Uchiha Takashi bent slightly, then leaped towards a wooden post several meters away.
Whoosh! As his body soared, flames burst from under his feet, propelling him like a rocket.
He landed in front of a wooden post as thick as a human and two meters tall.
"Fire Style: Fire Fist!"
Uchiha Takashi's right fist struck out, flames wrapping around it as he punched.
Boom! A mass of flames exploded from the point of impact, shattering the wooden post.
The flame cloak on Uchiha Takashi dissipated after this strike.
"A jutsu without hand signs?"
Kakashi and Yamakawa Koji were both stunned.
As ninjas, they understood the power of jutsu that required no hand signs in battle.
"No, that's the effect of the Flame Cloak!"
Uchiha Takashi walked over the charred remains of the wooden post.
He was extremely satisfied with this C-rank jutsu he had developed.
Don't be fooled by its C-rank; its practicality rivals that of a B-rank jutsu.
And B-rank jutsu are typically the trump cards of Jonin.
Though it's not quite on par with the future Sasuke Uchiha, who used A-rank jutsu shortly after graduating, Sasuke is the son of the Sage of Six Paths, a protagonist with plot armor. As someone who crossed over without a system, Uchiha Takashi shouldn't expect too much.
"Flame Cloak?"
Kakashi murmured to himself.
Though he knew many jutsu, he had 'learned' them rather than 'developed' them. Seeing this jutsu sparked the idea of creating his own.
However, he felt that if he were to develop one, it had to be stronger than Uchiha Takashi's.
A competitive spirit ignited in Kakashi's heart.
Minato Namikaze noticed the light in his student's eyes, and instead of worrying, he was pleased.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
"Uchiha Takashi, you really did it!"
Yamakawa Koji was full of disbelief.
"Yes, with Minato-sensei's guidance, it wasn't a waste of time!"
Uchiha Takashi was clear about the credit.
If it were just him, the idea and development direction might not be wrong, but who knows how long it would take to succeed.
But with Minato Namikaze's guidance and help, he skipped the verification and trial stages.
"No, even without me, Uchiha Takashi, you would have developed it eventually!"
Minato Namikaze shook his head lightly, not taking the credit.
He knew that what he did could have been done by any other Jonin, albeit with more time.
But this jutsu couldn't have succeeded without Uchiha Takashi's idea and development direction.
"Alright, stop arguing. Let's just say you developed it together, okay?"
Kushina Uzumaki interrupted the two.
Minato Namikaze smiled wryly and didn't argue, leading Kakashi and Yamakawa Koji aside to start training.
For ninjas, jutsu can be a matter of life and death.
Unless Uchiha Takashi intended to teach them, it was fine for them to watch, but they couldn't listen in on what followed.
"Uchiha Takashi, what do you want me to guide you on?"
Chapter 31: The Limitless Potential of a Self-Created Jutsu!
Kushina Uzumaki spoke up directly, her straightforward nature leaving no room for pleasantries. "Sister Kushina, if I want the transformed flames to last longer and burn hotter, is there any way to achieve that?"
Uchiha Takashi expressed his requirements and thoughts.
Flame Cloak!
This Fire Release jutsu is essentially the prototype for a series of techniques he's developing.
Thanks to the natural energy potion refined from the Fusang tree, his advantage in Fire Release has significantly increased. Coupled with the Uchiha clan's expertise in Fire Release, he decided to develop this jutsu.
The effect of the jutsu is actually quite simple.
Transformation and control! Continuously converting his chakra into flames.
Ordinary Fire Release jutsu also convert chakra into flames, but they do so in an explosive burst.
However, if you don't let it explode, then you have the prototype of this jutsu.
The challenge isn't in converting chakra into flames but in how to release it continuously and steadily.
Fortunately, due to his ongoing training in chakra control, Uchiha Takashi barely meets the standard.
At the same time, the most dangerous aspect of this jutsu is the user's resistance to the flames.
Even though chakra essentially isolates direct contact with the flames, the flesh and blood body can't withstand high temperatures for long.
However, in this regard, Uchiha Takashi has a significant advantage.
Adaptability! Or rather, the enhancement of his Fire Release talent also increases his resistance to flames.
The high temperatures he can withstand are unbearable for others.
High temperatures are a double-edged sword! They are also the reason for developing the Flame Cloak.
It's meant for close combat! Close combat is Uchiha Takashi's weak point, and despite his efforts to compensate, the results have been minimal.
But if he uses the Flame Cloak, who would dare engage him in close combat?
And if they avoid close combat, he has no fear of a jutsu showdown, not to mention he has summoning beasts to assist him.
Therefore.
The Flame Cloak jutsu is specifically designed to compensate for his weaknesses.
After hearing his thoughts, Kushina Uzumaki fell into contemplation.
Sealing techniques could naturally achieve what Uchiha Takashi described, and even do it better and stronger.
The issue is that she would have to do it herself.
So she pondered how to enable Uchiha Takashi to achieve these results.
Uchiha Takashi could see that she was trying to find a solution, so he remained silent, a flicker of flame dancing in his palm.
Training!
No one ever complains about having too much chakra control, so he has never given up on improving in this area since he arrived in this world.
At the same time, the current Flame Cloak is just the foundation.
What Uchiha Takashi truly wants to develop is 'Sage Mode,' or at least the 'Flame Chakra Mode.'
This is the advantage of being a transmigrator.
The direction is never wrong! Whether it's Sage Mode or Chakra Mode, both paths are viable, with no fear of taking a wrong turn or hitting a dead end.
After a while, Kushina Uzumaki finally spoke.
"I have two solutions!"
"One is that I teach you sealing techniques, and you can gradually improve your jutsu on your own!"
"The second is ninja tools. I can design a special sealing formula for you and then seal it into the corresponding chakra ninja tools..."
As expected from a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, the masters of sealing techniques.
Not only does she have a way to meet Uchiha Takashi's needs, but she also offers two solutions.
The former is a long-term plan, while the latter can solve the problem immediately.
However, both solutions have their pros and cons.
The former is slow to show results but offers a permanent fix.
The latter is quick to implement but can be easily countered by enemies and is costly.
It's easy to imagine that the expenses for ninja tools would be significant.
So, Kushina Uzumaki was curious to know which option her 'brother' would choose.
