Chapter 12: The Yellow Flash vs. the Sharingan
night.
The tent was filled with damp clothes, and the air smelled musty.
"This awful weather." Fugaku Uchiha touched his combat uniform, which he would be wearing tomorrow; it was still wet.
"If we don't dry it, our joints will get cold during training tomorrow, which will affect our movements and make us less flexible." Nishikawa Tetsu was calculating the humidity. "My suggestion is to make a fire to dry it, but the tent is poorly ventilated, which could easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning."
"No need for that."
Fugaku suddenly ripped the clothes off the hanging rope and piled them in front of him.
"Watch closely, this is the Uchiha clan's precise control over chakra."
He took a deep breath, but instead of forming a hand seal, he placed his palms on his wet clothes.
A faint red chakra glow appeared, which was the application of Fire Release nature transformation—generating heat but not flame.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
White steam rises, and the clothes dry and warm up at a visible speed.
"Amazing!" Minato's eyes lit up, and he immediately shoved his own clothes over as well. "Senpai! Help me dry mine! My underwear's been soaking wet all day!"
"Get out!" Fugaku cursed. "I'm the young head of the Uchiha clan, not a drying machine!"
Despite the criticism, seeing Minato's expectant eyes and Nishikawa Tetsu silently handing over the socks...
Fugaku, his face dark, grabbed their clothes: "This is a one-time exception!"
......
After several days of joint training, Nishikawa Tetsu collected a large amount of data about Namikaze Minato.
This future Fourth Hokage, though still very inexperienced, has already shown signs of terrifying talent.
"Watergate".
Nishikawa Tetsu suddenly spoke up: "During this break, there's something I'd like to tell you."
"Hmm?" Minato Namikaze looked over, wiping his sweat. "What is it?"
"About your fighting style."
Nishikawa Tetsu took out the small notebook he always carried from his ninja tool bag and turned to the page that recorded Minato's data.
"Your constitution is very special. Your nerve conduction speed is about 1.5 times that of an average person, which means that your reaction is extremely fast."
"Furthermore, while your muscles have extremely strong explosive power, you lack endurance, which means you are not suitable for prolonged positional warfare or ninjutsu exchanges like Fugaku-senpai."
Fugaku Uchiha, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't say anything, his ears perked up.
Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Indeed, I'm not good at long-term battles of attrition, so I've been practicing how to manage my stamina lately."
"No, that's the wrong direction."
Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head, his tone resolute: "In this world, being all-rounder often means mediocrity. Since your talent points are all in speed, you should go to the extreme."
"extreme?"
"That's right, you should give up those wide-range ninjutsu, and even give up conventional taijutsu with its sweeping movements, and focus on developing the Body Flicker Technique."
Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to Namikaze Minato's leg muscles: "Use all your chakra to enhance that burst of speed in that instant, pursue the ultimate speed."
"But what if the speed is too fast and my dynamic vision can't keep up?"
Minato Namikaze raised a crucial question: not everyone has the Sharingan. "In that extreme speed state, one's vision becomes blurred, making it easy for accidents to happen."
"This brings us to the second concept I want to discuss—dynamic visual countermeasure training."
Nishikawa Tetsuya was clearly prepared.
He pulled a handful of small pebbles from his bag, their surfaces painted with black and white stripes.
"Fugaku-senpai!" Nishikawa Tetsu called out, "Could you please activate your Sharingan and cooperate with an experiment?"
Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly. Although he didn't know what this kid was up to this time, he still walked over: "If you want me to be your target, you'd better pray that your theory works."
"This is black and white stroboscopic stone."
Nishikawa Tetsu explained, "I'll throw these pebbles with an irregular trajectory. Minato, you need to sprint at full speed and catch them before they hit the ground."
"At high speeds, these black and white stripes create strong visual persistence. What you need to learn is not to 'see' with your eyes, but to perceive using peripheral vision and chakra."
"Only by overcoming visual persistence can you see the world clearly at high speed, and for Fugaku-senpai..."
Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Uchiha Fugaku, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Please use your shuriken to knock the pebble out of Minato's hand. This will test whether Minato's speed can fool the Sharingan's motion capture."
"Shoot down the pebble?" Fugaku Uchiha sneered, the three tomoe appearing in his eyes.
"start!"
At Nishikawa Tetsu's command, several pebbles were thrown into the air.
"Whoosh!"
Minato Namikaze transformed into a golden light and burst forth.
"Ding! Ding!"
Almost simultaneously, Fugaku Uchiha also fired his shuriken.
At first, Minato Namikaze was in a very sorry state.
Because of the speed, everything he saw was double, and he almost cut his arm with the shuriken several times, and even crashed directly into a tree.
"Too slow, the intention is too obvious!" Fugaku Uchiha retorted mercilessly.
However, with Nishikawa Tetsu constantly refining his spatial coordinates by using his peripheral vision to establish the target center, Minato Namikaze's progress was simply outrageous.
Over the next two weeks.
In this forest clearing of the Land of Rain, a daily chase unfolds between golden flashes and crimson eye power.
Nishikawa Tetsu, meanwhile, crawled and rolled in the mud, using the "Limit Breakthrough Method" to gradually increase his chakra reserves.
Although the days were monotonous and painful, the three men's eyes grew sharper and sharper.
Until one evening.
"Whoosh!"
Nishikawa Tetsu threw a pebble.
A golden light flashed.
Minato Namikaze instantly appeared ten meters away, firmly gripping the pebble in his hand. And where he had stood, a lingering afterimage remained, slowly dissipating.
"when!"
Fugaku Uchiha's shuriken pierced through the afterimage, but landed in empty space.
"this……"
As Fugaku Uchiha watched the dissipating afterimage, the three tomoe in his eyes spun wildly.
Just a moment ago, his eyes did see Minato, but by the time his body reacted and fired the shuriken, Minato was no longer there.
You're telling me this is a genin?
"It's a success."
Nishikawa Tetsu recorded the data, his body covered in mud but his eyes filled with excitement: "The neural reaction delay has been compressed to 0.08 seconds."
The current Eternal Girl has already qualified to become a Yellow Flash. At this rate, she should be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique even sooner.
Minato Namikaze looked at his hands, fascinated by the feeling of controlling extreme speed and the world slowing down in his eyes.
He turned to Nishikawa Tetsuya and gave him a bright smile: "Thank you, Tetsuya! This training method is so effective!"
"snort."
Fugaku Uchiha sheathed his shuriken. Although he was somewhat annoyed that his prediction had failed, the recognition in his eyes deepened.
He had to admit that these two commoners—one with the mind of a monster, the other with the body of a monster—were indeed qualified to stand beside the Uchiha.
Just then.
"Bang!"
A plume of white smoke exploded in the center of the open space.
A toad carrying a huge scroll fell from the sky.
"Excuse me for disturbing you three." Toad exhaled a smoke ring, his voice deep and resonant. "Jiraiya urgently summons Team 5."
The three exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly turning serious, the relaxed atmosphere from the training session vanishing completely.
They all knew what this meant.
The mundane and tedious special training is over; the real war is about to begin.
Fugaku Uchiha tidied his ninja tool bag, then leaped out first, his voice echoing in the rain.
"Let's go."
