Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction. At this age, Uchiha Sasuke is at the right time to establish his outlook on life and values. If he can be guided to have a longer-term perspective, he will go further in the future.

After brainwashing Sasuke Uchiha, Uchiha Kakuyama began formal instruction.

"Since you haven't awakened your Sharingan yet, I can only teach you some basic things. Let's go one by one. First is taijutsu. Sasuke, now use taijutsu to attack me. Let me see your level."

In fact, Uchiha Kakuzan's taijutsu skills weren't very high; he was at most at the level of an elite Jonin. However, he was more than capable of teaching Uchiha Sasuke, who was still a child.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uchiha Sasuke attacked without saying a word.

Sasuke Uchiha's taijutsu was quite good for his age; his attacks were methodical and his movements were measured, clearly showing he had received some training. Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan, while observing Sasuke's techniques and power, instructed him: "Taijutsu, simply put, is about strength, speed, and reaction time. How do you train taijutsu? All you can do is train repeatedly, train your strength, your speed, and your reaction time."

Don't underestimate taijutsu; it's the foundation of a ninja. Don't be fooled by how powerful the ninjutsu or genjutsu of strong ninjas are; what you may not realize is that all the famous strong ninjas also possess very strong taijutsu.

Therefore, taijutsu is fundamental. Only by training your physical strength can you have enough chakra to suppress your enemies when you fight against them.

A powerful ninja is one who skillfully combines taijutsu, ninjutsu, and unique secret techniques, maximizing their strengths to achieve their power.

After Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, he had already been fighting Sasuke for a while. Since Sasuke was still too young, Uchiha Kakuzan felt no pressure fighting him. He grabbed Sasuke's leg as he jumped up and kicked, and then threw him away. Sasuke rolled around a few times before stopping, panting heavily.

Looking at the disheveled Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Kakuzan said, "Your taijutsu right now still relies too much on flashy moves. Don't practice too many fancy techniques; it's not suitable for you now. You need to understand that once you awaken your Sharingan and reach the two-tomoe stage, you'll be able to copy those moves. Right now, you need to calm down and focus on the basics. That's how taijutsu works; every bit of effort you put in will bring you results."

Sasuke Uchiha's breathing calmed down, and upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, he obediently replied, "Yes, teacher."

Uchiha Kakuzan nodded, took out a chakra paper from his ninja tool pouch, handed it to Sasuke, and said, "Guide your chakra onto this paper, and I'll see what chakra attributes you possess."

Uchiha Sasuke had never tested his chakra nature before, so upon hearing this, he took the chakra paper handed to him by Uchiha Okayama and channeled his chakra into it.

Uchiha Kakuyama had been watching closely. Although he already knew Sasuke's chakra nature, he still wanted to confirm it, as it was related to his teaching plan.

Upon seeing the chakra paper in Sasuke's hand wrinkle on one side and burst into flames on the other, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but nod. It seemed that, just like in the original story, Uchiha Sasuke's innate attributes were lightning and fire.

Uchiha Kakuzan was about to speak when he suddenly saw Sasuke look up expectantly at him. He swallowed his words, coughed, and praised, "Not bad. You possess both fire and lightning styles. Most members of our Uchiha clan possess fire style, which is why our clan is also known as the Fire Release Clan. Lightning style is also a very powerful style among the many styles."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uchiha Sasuke nodded repeatedly, his joy evident in his expression.

Uchiha Kakuzan continued, "You're still young, and it's not suitable for you to refine your chakra too much. It will affect your future potential. So, just practice these ninjutsu appropriately. As for genjutsu, you should first learn some theoretical knowledge and some simple genjutsu. You can practice them after your Sharingan is awakened. This will make your efforts much more effective, and with the Sharingan's amplification, the power of your genjutsu will also increase."

After finishing his speech, Uchiha Kakuzan felt he needed to impart some substantial knowledge to Sasuke, otherwise he would feel somewhat guilty towards Mikoto, who had always been kind to him. His expression turned serious as he stared into Sasuke's eyes and said, "Next, I will teach you a top-tier secret technique. You are very fortunate because you possess innate lightning-style chakra, a very rare attribute. Therefore, you have the basic requirements to cultivate this top-tier secret technique."

Of course, this secret technique is very difficult to learn. However, I will assist you in getting started with another secret technique. But after I assist you in getting started, the rest will be up to you, because practicing this secret technique is very painful. It depends on whether you can persevere.

Chapter 133 The Perfect Match Between Illusion and Lightning Armor

Chapter 133 The Perfect Match Between Illusion and Lightning Armor

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Uchiha Sasuke and asked, "This kind of secret technique is very painful to practice. There is no other way but to persevere through sheer willpower. Think about it and see if you want to practice it."

Uchiha Sasuke fell into deep thought upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words. Although he was still young and held a relatively high position in the Uchiha clan—after all, his father was the clan head and his brother was a renowned genius—if it were someone without ambition, they could have simply given up. They could have lived comfortably by relying on their father and brother, and no one would have dared to bully them.

However, he was a member of the Uchiha clan, possessing the blood of the Uchiha and inheriting their pride. He did not want to live forever under the protection of his father and brother, nor did he want to live in his brother's shadow.

Now, an opportunity is presented to him. He has two paths: one is to continue learning and cultivating step by step as before, and he will also become a master, but the possibility of surpassing his brother is relatively small.

Another path is to cultivate the secret technique given to him by Uchiha Kakuzan. However, the cultivation process is very painful, and he doesn't know if he can persevere.

Sasuke Uchiha raised his head, looking directly at Okayama Uchiha without flinching, and asked, "Master, if I cultivate this secret technique, what is the highest level I can reach? Can I surpass my brother?"

After hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Kakuzan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if you can surpass your brother. After all, while you are improving, your brother is also improving. Moreover, Uchiha Itachi is also a genius, and I can't say what his future achievements will be."

I can only tell you that as long as you persist in your training and master this secret technique, your minimum achievement will be becoming a Kage-level expert, and a top-tier one at that.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, his eyes hardening, and said, "Master, I'll trouble you with my training of this secret technique."

Seeing that Sasuke had made this decision, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and said, "Sasuke, you will be proud of the choice you made today."

After speaking, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, looked at Uchiha Sasuke, and activated his rarely used eye technique, 'Illusion - Momentary Time and Space'.

This eye technique was copied from Fugaku Uchiha. However, because using Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques too often would damage the Mangekyou Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha didn't use it much, let alone use it as a teaching tool.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan obtained this eye technique, he has only used it once, except when showing the elder a short film in this illusion. This is because the abilities of this eye technique overlap somewhat with Uchiha Itachi's eye technique 'Tsukuyomi', and Tsukuyomi's mental damage is stronger. Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan rarely uses it.

In fact, Uchiha Kakuzan believed that this eye technique was very suitable for cultivating some high-risk secret techniques or forbidden techniques, such as the secret technique 'Lightning Release Armor'. The reason why Lightning Release Armor is so difficult to cultivate is because the lightning-attribute chakra is difficult to control. If one does not do it properly during the cultivation process, it is easy to damage the body. After the body is damaged, at best, one will have to rest for a few days. After the body recovers, one will forget what one has cultivated before and have to start cultivating again. At worst, one may be permanently disabled.

Cultivating in an illusion means that since your spirit is inside, even if you make a mistake, you'll only feel a sharp pain to learn a lesson, but it won't damage your physical body.

The moment Uchiha Kakuzan used the eye technique 'Illusion - Momentary Space', both Uchiha Kakuzan and Uchiha Sasuke's spiritual bodies were brought into the illusionary space created by Uchiha Kakuzan. Since they were not enemies, Uchiha Kakuzan did not bother to create the surrounding environment and simply copied his usual training ground.

After the two entered the space, Uchiha Kakuzan said to Uchiha Sasuke, "The secret technique I'm teaching you is the ultimate secret technique of the Raikage lineage of Kumogakure—Lightning Release Armor, also known as the Thunder God Armor. This is also the Raikage's signature technique. The Second, Third, and Fourth Raikage all became Kage-level powerhouses by relying on this secret technique."

However, this secret technique is very difficult to master. It requires not only innate lightning-attribute chakra, but also outstanding chakra control and the determination to endure pain.

But don't worry, I've brought you into my illusionary world. In this world, you don't need to worry about the damage that lightning-attribute chakra will cause to your body. As long as you can endure the pain, you will definitely succeed.

Faced with Uchiha Kakuzan's words of comfort, Uchiha Sasuke nodded with a tight-lipped expression. Since he had already agreed, he would not regret it. Moreover, his master had used a secret technique for him, and he would certainly not let his master down.

Next, Uchiha Kakuzan began to teach Uchiha Sasuke the training method for the first stage of 'Lightning Release Armor'.

Uchiha Kakuyama had already mastered the first stage of the Lightning Release Armor, and he had even taught Sasuke to train in a genjutsu. Even if some mistakes were made, it would only cause young Sasuke some hardship, and would not cause him any harm.

As for the subsequent parts of the Lightning Release Armor, Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't in a hurry. After all, the first stage of the Lightning Release Armor was about continuous stimulation and strengthening of the physical body, which would allow Sasuke to use it until he graduated. By then, Uchiha Kakuzan would either have already obtained the entire Lightning Release Armor or had already copied the fully-mastered Lightning Release Armor from the Raikage and deduced the training method for the second stage.

So, during this month in the illusion, Sasuke Uchiha's screams often echoed. Luckily, Mikoto didn't know, otherwise she would have given him a good beating. Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan was unable to fight back.

At the beginning, Sasuke had difficulty even guiding his lightning-style chakra, let alone controlling it. He would often be grimacing and screaming in pain from being hit. Uchiha Kakuzan was also inhuman; he somehow obtained a thin metal rod and would always poke Sasuke in the wrong spot whenever his chakra went astray. Moreover, the rod was imbued with his own lightning-style chakra, which would make Sasuke tremble with electricity.

However, this method was very efficient, which made Sasuke's chakra control level improve rapidly. From frequent mistakes at the beginning, to ordinary mistakes, and then to occasional mistakes, Sasuke's progress was visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 134 Mikoto's Worries

Chapter 134 Mikoto's Worries

After nearly a month of training with Uchiha Kakuzan in the illusion, and after enduring Kakuzan's relentless torment, Sasuke finally achieved stable control over his chakra, avoiding mistakes during training. Reaching this level essentially meant he had mastered the first stage of 'Lightning Release: Armor'.

The next step involves cultivation in reality, which involves continuous training and stimulation of the physical body to rapidly increase its strength and improve its reaction speed.

The reason why the Fourth Hokage was so strong was because of his space-time ninjutsu—the Flying Thunder God Technique—and his superhuman reaction speed. The combination of these two made him the renowned Fourth Hokage.

Don't assume that just because you learned the first stage of Lightning Release Armor in a month, it's easy to learn. You should know that Uchiha Kakuzan and Uchiha Sasuke trained tirelessly for that month. Moreover, because they were in an illusion, they could train without restraint, without fear of mistakes, physical damage, or even death. Meanwhile, Sasuke had a teacher, Uchiha Kakuzan, standing beside him with a metal rod, watching him intently, which kept him in a constant state of tension.

In addition, Sasuke's talent was not bad, which is why he completed the first stage of the Lightning Release Armor training in just one month.

In fact, for an ordinary ninja, even the first stage of Lightning Release Armor is enough to benefit him for life. After all, as long as he masters the first stage of Lightning Release Armor and works hard to hone his physical body, becoming a Jonin is more than enough. Moreover, he is the kind of Jonin with superhuman speed and reaction speed. As long as you are not surrounded or you do not do anything reckless, your survival ability is very strong.

Three days before the one-month deadline, after Sasuke Uchiha successfully completed another training session with the Lightning Release Armor, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Sasuke, who had just opened his eyes, and asked, "How does it feel? Have you fully mastered this secret technique?"

Uchiha Sasuke stood up, his body still crackling with residual electricity, and said with confidence in his eyes, "Yes, Master, I have completely mastered this secret technique, and I have not made a mistake for ten consecutive times."

Uchiha Kakuzan witnessed all of this and was greatly impressed by Sasuke's resilience. He hadn't expected Sasuke to have such a strong will. He had also experienced the pain of training in the Lightning Release Armor, and he hadn't expected Sasuke to adapt so quickly. This was far beyond his expectations.

Uchiha Kakuzan originally thought that Uchiha Sasuke would need at least a month to use the eye technique 'Fleeting Time' again before he could master the Lightning Release Armor. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in just one month.

The confidence in his eyes wasn't confidence in himself, but rather confidence built from the hardships, torment, and perseverance he had endured over the past month.

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and said, "Then get ready. Master is about to end this training and dispel the illusion."

Sasuke, who was standing there, was somewhat taken aback when he heard Uchiha Kakuyama's words. In the nearly one month of training, he had gradually gotten used to this place and to training. He was a little surprised to suddenly hear his master say that it was over.

Uchiha Sasuke stammered, "Master, wasn't it still several days until the month was up? How come it's ending early?"

Uchiha Kakuyama smiled and shook his head, saying, "I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate so quickly, Sasuke. Your hard work is even more outstanding than your talent. Your performance this time surprised me. Now that you have mastered this secret technique, there is no point in staying here any longer. Besides, going back a few days earlier will prevent you from becoming too mentally exhausted."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's praise, Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes with delight and chuckled, completely abandoning his former aloof and adorable demeanor.

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw Sasuke's expression, he smiled. In the past month of spending time together, they had become familiar with each other, and Sasuke had long since relaxed around him.

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan glanced around at the scene, casually forming a hand seal: 'Illusion--Dispel'.

······

When Uchiha Kazuyama and Uchiha Sasuke came to their senses, they found themselves in Mikoto's courtyard again. The autumn sun shone warmly on them, and a gentle breeze blew past their ears. For a moment, Uchiha Kazuyama and Sasuke were immersed in this environment.

After a short while, Uchiha Kakuzan gradually came to his senses. He met the gaze of Uchiha Sasuke, who had also come to his senses, and said softly to Sasuke, "Sasuke, try again. Don't worry, I'm watching you."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded vigorously upon hearing his master's words. He knew that it was time to test the results of his training. After all, even if you were proficient in the illusion, it didn't mean you had mastered it. In the end, you had to test your training results in reality. Only by succeeding in reality could you say that you had finally mastered this secret technique.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't even bother to check if the ground was clean before sitting down cross-legged. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then closed his eyes and slowly tried to find the feeling of training in the illusion space.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Mikoto and the others who were watching from the sidelines were somewhat confused. They saw Uchiha Kazuyama and Sasuke say something, Sasuke nodded, then Uchiha Kazuyama activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and then Uchiha Kazuyama deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan. Uchiha Sasuke then inexplicably sat down on the ground.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they suddenly noticed some sky-blue lightning crackling around Uchiha Sasuke, who was sitting down. Uchiha Mikoto, who was somewhat knowledgeable about such things, covered her mouth in alarm when she saw it.

Mikoto Uchiha might not know much else, but she did know that when it came to manipulating lightning-style chakra, whether it was form transformation or nature transformation, a single mishanded move could result in injury. And of course, she knew this about her own son.

Although Sasuke may have inherited his lightning chakra, he has never learned any lightning-style ninjutsu, let alone a self-inflicted technique. This oversight could lead to his injury.

Although Mikoto Uchiha wanted to step forward to stop him, she knew that this was a crucial moment for Sasuke to use his ninjutsu, and that rushing over to stop him would only cause him to be injured more severely. So she could only cover her mouth and try not to make a sound so as not to disturb her son.

P.S.: Thank you to Qingshankeran, Xiwangmu, You, and Yanyuqingzhou for your support and love. Thank you all for your attention, encouragement, and gifts.

Chapter 135 Secret Techniques and Mikoto's Exuberant Dance

Chapter 135 Secret Techniques and Mikoto's Exuberant Dance

Mikoto Uchiha now only hoped that Uchiha Kazuyama, who was beside Sasuke, could save him in time if he was in danger. If Mikoto remembered correctly, in her recent memory, Kazuyama was also skilled in Lightning Release, although his use of Lightning Release was a bit off. Thinking of this, Mikoto's face flushed slightly.

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto nervously covering her mouth, the two maids beside her, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Ye, although they did not have Uchiha Mikoto's experience, could also see the nervousness in Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader's wife. They involuntarily held their breath and looked at Uchiha Sasuke sitting on the ground.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Okayama, who was standing next to Uchiha Sasuke, was ready to make a move at any moment. Although Sasuke had trained very well in the genjutsu, they were now in reality. If he wasn't careful, Uchiha Sasuke would have to stay in the hospital for at least a few days.

Sasuke Uchiha sat on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and began his first training session in the real world to master the Lightning Release Armor.

In contrast to the tense atmosphere surrounding him, Uchiha Sasuke was quite calm. After all, he didn't know how many times he had trained and how much suffering he had endured in the genjutsu. It's important to understand that in the genjutsu, aside from the lack of physical harm, the mental pain was no less intense. Moreover, being a spiritual being, his senses were more acute and refined when experiencing pain, making the suffering much clearer.

Therefore, after enduring so much hardship and working so hard for so long, Uchiha Sasuke was very confident that his efforts would not be in vain and that he would definitely succeed.

Sasuke Uchiha calmed his mind and focused on controlling and manipulating his chakra, guiding it to slowly work on his body.

······

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, first, wisps of electricity began to travel and surge from Uchiha Sasuke's body. Gradually, more and more electricity appeared, and the sound of thunder grew louder and louder, with crackling sounds filling the air.

In the end, the lightning on Uchiha Sasuke's body had covered his entire body, and the originally ear-piercing thunder suddenly turned into a low buzzing sound.

Uchiha Kakuyama, who had been watching over Sasuke the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He knew that Sasuke's first training session in the real world had been successful. Next, Sasuke would need to activate his Lightning Release Armor to stimulate and promote the growth of his physical body, making it even stronger.

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama saw Mikoto watching Sasuke intently from the side, so he strolled over to her.

When Uchiha Mikoto saw Uchiha Kyuuyama approaching, she grasped at a last straw and anxiously asked, "Kyuuyama-kun, how is Sasuke? Is he alright?"

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Mikoto-nee, I've been watching. I taught Sasuke a secret technique, and he has already mastered it."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words of comfort, Uchiha Mikoto became somewhat flustered and stammered, "Lightning Release Secret Technique? It's already successful? This... that..." She even started gesturing with her hands.

Mikoto Uchiha is no novice. Although her strength is not that great, as the wife of the Uchiha clan's head, her knowledge and experience, gained through daily exposure, far surpass those of ordinary Jonin.

What are secret techniques? Secret techniques are called secret techniques to distinguish them from ninjutsu. All secret techniques have one thing in common: they are extremely difficult to master. Some people without talent may not be able to master them even if they practice for a lifetime.

Of course, the reason why so many people still try to master secret techniques is because the more difficult a secret technique is to master, the greater its power. And those top-tier secret techniques can truly be said to provide for one's entire life if mastered, providing a secure livelihood for the rest of one's life.
