Naruto—Chapter 3: Mrs. Mikoto: How Should We Celebrate Tonight?

  First, a new Kekkei Genkai was added—Pnt Release—and the idea that a facial cleanser can activate the Sharingan is simply perplexing.

  This Naruto world is too abnormal.

  However, having a Pnt Release is somewhat reasonable.

  After all, Naruto already has a Wood Release.

  Since the God of Shinobi can control trees, it shouldn't be surprising that there exists a Demon of Shinobi who can manipute flowers and pnts, right?

  But it's truly incredible to think that a facial cleanser can open the Sharingan.

  If it were that easy to unlock the Sharingan, everyone in the Uchiha cn would have three tomoe Sharingan.

  But that's not quite right; not everyone can suffocate others while washing their face.

  Many Shinobi toil their entire lives yet never have the chance to experience something as trivial as a facial cleanser.

  Thinking about it this way, Uchiha Ayato seems a bit too fortunate.

  However, the condition for awakening the Sharingan—strong emotional stimution—has become absurdly abstract.

  If the criteria for opening the Mangekyō Sharingan—witnessing the death of a loved one—were to change in a simirly abstract manner, what would that entail?

  For instance, would killing a close friend with your own hands or getting her first blood with your own hands.?

  Opening the Mangekyō Sharingan through getting first blood? Even the comics from another world wouldn't dare depict it that way.

  No, thinking further would go beyond the scope.

  At that moment, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly realized she was losing her composure. She quickly let go of Uchiha Ayato and focused on him with concern.

  "I'm sorry; I hugged you a bit too tightly in the heat of the moment. Are you okay?"

  Uchiha Ayato covered his chest and gasped for air, resembling a drowning duck.

  "…It's okay. I'm a shinobi; how could I possibly be in trouble? But Auntie did hold me a little tight. Please don't hold me so hard next time."

  Aunt Mikoto's figure was distinctly different from that of ordinary women, and it would undoubtedly ftten Uchiha Ayato's face.

  "Haha, my bad—it's Auntie's fault."

  Uchiha Mikoto chuckled, gently rubbing Uchiha Ayato's face as she smiled apologetically.

  From the corner of his eye, Uchiha Ayato noticed that the Third Hokage's face was red, akin to a monkey's butt. He quickly turned his face away, feeling awkward and directed his gaze to the corner of the room.

  In the original work, this old man

  Third Generation was characterized as quite lecherous, being one of the few who could fall for Naruto's seduction techniques.

  Such an impressive facial cleanser must have sparked his envy.

  Uchiha Ayato didn't want to be hated by this old man, so he sought an opportunity to slip away.

  "Aunt Mikoto, Sandai-sama is quite busy. Let's not disturb his work. We should leave first."

  "You're right, Third-Generation Master. We'll take our leave..."

  With a smile, Uchiha Mikoto said her goodbyes to Sarutobi Hiruzen, took Uchiha Ayato by the hand and exited the Hokage's office.

  Once they were gone, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in appreciation.

  "The name 'comrade' is quite suitable. Young people today must find that name appealing. I can use it in future speeches..."

  He whipped out a pen and jotted the word "comrade" in his notebook.

  Just then, a strange old man, his right eye and hand wrapped in bandages, strode out from behind the screen.

  He wore a deadpan expression and spoke in a gloomy voice, "Hiruzen, that young man is very talented. Leave him to me."

  This bold request came from Danzo Shimura, one of Konoha's two heroes.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen regarded him with sincerity and replied, "No. He demonstrates an innate understanding of the Will of Fire, and he reveres Minato. He might very well become the next Minato. I intend to groom him as a future Hokage candidate."

  "A Hokage candidate?"

  Danzo Shimura's face darkened, his demeanor turning cold. He snorted disdainfully, "Hiruzen, you are overly naive. He's not just from another vilge; he's a remnant of the Uchiha cn! Have you forgotten what the Second Hokage said? The Uchiha cn is inherently evil!"

  "We must not allow him to ascend to Hokage. Such a person should be molded into a Root, one who sacrifices for Konoha!"

  Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head resolutely. "Have you lost sight of the essence of the Will of Fire? There ought to be no estrangement or prejudice between cns. We've wronged the Uchiha cn in the past. It's time to rectify that."

  His eyes reflected powerful authority, an unmistakable aura of command.

  Danzo confronted him, unconvinced. "Hiruzen, are you seriously considering this? After everything, you still want to compensate the Uchiha cn?"

  With unwavering conviction, Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, "The Uchiha cn was originally our comrades. We owe them far too much. We cannot turn our backs on them again."

  "Hmph, Hiruzen, you're too naive. One day, this naivety will be your undoing."

  (This references a line from the original anime featuring Shimura Danzo. Hiruzen—you will regret this. This line is from fan fiction and does not exist in the original series.)

  With a slight smirk, Shimura Danzo sneered and slowly departed...

  ————

  The sky was a fwless blue, cloudless and bright.

  On the bustling streets of Konoha, ughter and chatter filled the air. Children pyed gleefully, creating a peaceful scene of joy and harmony.

  Uchiha Ayato held hands with Uchiha Mikoto, akin to a little child being guided home.

  Uchiha Mikoto's eyes sparkled with happiness as she praised Uchiha Ayato for his earlier abilities. "Usually, things decided by the Third Generation are seldom changed. I was about to give up just now. But I didn't expect you to be so capable and use the Will of Fire to persuade him. Even I couldn't have conceived of this approach..."

  As she lovingly held his smooth, warm hand, Uchiha Ayato quietly accessed his ability panel in his mind.

  ————

  Name: Uchiha Ayato

  Position: Konoha Genin

  Chakra: Fire Attribute Chakra C+, Lightning Attribute Chakra D, Grass Attribute Chakra E+

  Kekkei Genkai: 1) Pnt Release (Cuscuta B+, Hypnotic Flower C, Photosynthesis C, Pnt Rebirth E+)

  2) Sharingan (one Tomoe)

  Ninja Tool Throwing: C+

  Basic Ninjutsu: Clone Technique B, Substitute Technique B, Transformation Technique B, Instant Body Technique C+

  Shadow Clone Technique: D+

  Psychic: D+

  Taijutsu: Uchiha Fluid Technique (C+)

  Illusion: Sharingan Illusion E

  Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique (B), Phoenix Sage Fire Technique (D)

  Lightning Ninjutsu: Fsh (C), Lightning (D), Speed (D)

  ————

  This is the ninjutsu that Uchiha Ayato currently masters.

  Though his repertoire is small, consisting of a few basic ninjutsu, he possesses strong offensive techniques like Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique and the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, alongside supportive ninjutsu from Pnt and Lightning styles.

  In truth, this pces him ahead of many Shinobis.

  Learning ninjutsu in the Naruto world is notoriously difficult.

  In the original work, most Chunin, Jonin, and Anbu are only adept at throwing shuriken.

  Even elite Jonin have a limited number of techniques.

  Take Sakura, for instance—the heroine whose chakra control surpasses that of Sasuke; before training under Tsunade, she only knew the Clone Technique and the Substitute Technique.

  She didn't even know any offensive jutsu!

  When faced with an enemy, her options were limited to biting, apart from throwing kunai.

  This disparity expins why Kakashi's title as "Copy Ninja" and the Third Hokage's title as "Ninja Professor" are so revered.

  With the immense challenge of learning jutsu, as one learns more, the admiration they receive grows exponentially.

  Yet, this reverence can often be mispced in terms of actual combat effectiveness.

  For instance, in Konoha Vilge, everyone reveres the Third Hokage as the strongest Hokage in history, yet his signature jutsu is the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

  Outside of the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, most ninjutsu he employed were ineffective; in every battle, he relied heavily on the Adamantine Staff.

  Kakashi boasts about having copied thousands of jutsu, but aside from the Sharingan, his most impactful techniques boil down to Raikiri alone.

  This illustrates that ninjutsu isn't about variety; it's about refinement.

  Especially in the initial phases, essential techniques like the Clone Technique, Substitute Technique, and Instant Body Movement Technique often prove more beneficial than eborate jutsus.

  After all, no amount of power in ninjutsu matters if you can't nd a hit.

  Consider the Fire Style Amaterasu, rumored to be the strongest—can it burn someone to death?

  Conversely, a B-level fire ninjutsu—Burning Ash—can easily incinerate a Jonin.

  Thus, Uchiha Ayato doesn't chase after raw power in his ninjutsu; he focuses on strategy and synergy.

  For example, he could use the Clone Technique to confuse his opponent, then employ the Instant Body Technique to fsh behind them and unleash a massive fireball upon their soul. This is far more effective than an Amaterasu that never nds.

  Konohamaru triumphed over the Hell Path Pain—far stronger than himself—using just this strategy.

  Moreover, Uchiha Ayato is capable of learning from other shinobis their techniques and abilities through the dodder vine.

  As long as he survives, he will inevitably become a ninjutsu professor.

  To push it further, if he can absorb Kaguya's chakra, he could ascend to become the antagonist of Boruto.

  And that's not merely a fantasy.

  Uchiha Ayato, who is aware of Kaguya-hime's weaknesses, recognizes that an unconventional tactic could work wonders against her.

  By startling her with a formidable aura, he could employ the dodder vine to strike at her vulnerabilities, successfully absorbing her chakra.

  The real challenge lies in determining how much chakra can be siphoned from Kaguya while utilizing this unorthodox method to distract her.

  The more chakra Uchiha Ayato absorbs, the higher the caliber of jutsu he can master.

  Consequently, chakra absorption is a pursuit that cannot be achieved in a single day.

  It demands patience and unwavering dedication until the world alters and time wears away even the hardest stone.

  Over the past few years, Uchiha Ayato has quietly drained Uchiha Mikoto's chakra.

  Given Aunt Mikoto's character, she would undoubtedly prepare a sumptuous feast this evening to celebrate his promotion to Genin.

  All that's needed is a discreet touch of hypnotic pollen in the soju she drinks.

  Once she's lulled into slumber, he can extract her chakra without a hitch...

  Just then, Uchiha Mikoto announced, "Today marks the significant occasion of Ayato becoming a Genin; we need to celebrate!"

  "How should we celebrate tonight?" Uchiha Ayato inquired, his curiosity piqued.

  Uchiha Mikoto paused, pced her green index finger to her lips, and began to thoughtfully deliberate...
