After acquiring the Mind Body Switch Jutsu, you finally found a direction for further refining Soul Slash.
[Day 21]
Due to your high-intensity usage, the bowstring snapped. You had no choice but to pick up your ninja blade once more and hack through your enemies one by one.
Since you had already demonstrated exquisite control over Fire Style techniques, you no longer bothered to conceal your ability to superheat your weapons until they glowed red or even white-hot. With each swing slicing through opponents like a hot knife through butter, you cut down more than thirty enemies in a single streak.
You received another reward—once again, it was a Fire Style jutsu. This time, it was Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson. It seemed Root was intentionally pushing you toward specialization in Fire Style ninjutsu.
Because you'd already developed your Uchiha bloodline, and aside from ocular techniques, you had a natural talent for Fire Style control—combined with the experience you'd gained in previous simulations—this technique didn't immediately boost your combat power but sparked several ideas for researching the transformations of Fire Chakra.
...
[Day 22]
After some thought, you successfully twisted multiple chakra threads together to form a makeshift bowstring. While it worked temporarily, it couldn't be preserved for long—you had to replace it daily to prevent the unnatural dissipation of the chakra threads.
Through this process, your understanding of chakra shape transformation deepened even further.
You had actually wanted to practice the Rasengan—long hailed as the pinnacle of chakra shape transformation—but with Root's constant surveillance, that was far too risky. Plus, the Rasengan required time to charge and consumed a significant amount of chakra, which didn't suit your current fighting style. So you held off on training it.
...
[Day 23]
As Aburame Torune's Root training neared its end, the usually silent boy unexpectedly approached you to issue a challenge.
You had to admit—Aburame clan's parasitic insects were much more difficult to handle than the Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch Jutsu.
Facing insects that could devour chakra and carried potent toxins, your only option was to resist them head-on with Fire Style.
Fortunately, with Root constantly feeding you Fire Style jutsu and your accumulated experience, you had progressed far in Fire Chakra manipulation. The flames you breathed out had long surpassed the strength of ordinary ninjutsu.
When he saw your fire actually incinerating his mutated parasitic insects, Torune was visibly shocked. A worthy contender—one who could make it into the top three, just like him!
Although your transformed fire burned through a large number of parasitic insects, some still managed to survive the intense heat and push through the flames.
You were startled by this as well!
Without hesitation, you ignited highly concentrated flames across your body to serve as a final barrier, blocking the remaining insects that had broken through your Great Fireball Technique from biting you.
This time, your mastery over Fire Style had improved significantly—no more incidents of self-immolation!
To defeat Aburame Torune, you went all out.
In that single battle, you exposed the full extent of your Fire Style control and chakra reserves.
Only your sealing techniques and advanced ocular jutsu remained hidden.
Fortunately, you noticed that when the parasitic insects were incinerated, they released a burst of green sparks. Sensitive to all things Fire Style, you instinctively sensed something unusual about them and wanted to collect them for further study.
But under Root's watchful eyes, your hidden sealing jutsu and advanced ocular techniques couldn't be used. You had no choice but to request assistance from a Root ninja to seal and collect the green sparks for you.
With permission granted, a Root ninja used the Fire Sealing Method to help you gather over twenty green sparks.
The price for this, however, was steep—you had to eliminate fifty specially selected opponents as a cost for receiving your reward early.
Root didn't go easy on you with these chosen targets either. By the time you killed the twentieth one, your shortbow broke again while using the modified bow-tremble technique—an adaptation of the Manipulated Shuriken Technique. This time, the bow limbs cracked, rendering it unusable for high-intensity, piercing long-range attacks.
You switched back to your ninja blade and continued fighting. Just as you finished the final task, your chakra reserves were fully depleted.
...
[Day 24]
As the top-ranking trainee, you rightfully received your daily reward the next morning—a sealing technique known as the Fire Sealing Method.
It was obvious now: Root was monitoring your every move and subtly guiding your development.
Since you had such a strong affinity for Fire Style, they were determined to mold you into a Fire Style specialist. Anything else was off-limits.
After completing the challenge with outstanding results, you received another ninjutsu technique: Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique. Studying its essence gave you even deeper insight into Fire Chakra transformation.
You pretended to be studying the Fire Sealing Method and quickly mastered it. Then, you took out one of the green sparks and injected your chakra into it to feel how it differed from normal flames.
You discovered that the spark consumed chakra at several times the rate of ordinary fire, but it couldn't sustain itself for long. Even after pouring in a significant amount of chakra, you couldn't stop it from naturally extinguishing.
...
[Day 25]
As your reward for holding the top rank, you received a ninja blade coated in chakra metal.
By repeatedly completing tasks with exceptional performance, you honed your swordsmanship to the brink of exhaustion.
Root's Fire Style reward this time was Fire Style: Majestic Flame Destruction. While its principles weren't too difficult for you to grasp, your current chakra reserves couldn't support such a massive-scale technique. Fortunately, you could still absorb its core concepts and apply them to your Fire Style mastery.
After the battle, you took out another green spark from the parasitic insect remains for further study. This time, you discovered that beyond devouring vast amounts of chakra, the flame had remarkable piercing power.
It could burn and simultaneously penetrate through materials up to one centimeter thick. However, due to its extreme fragility, it would dissipate immediately after passing that limit.
...
[Day 26]
At this point, it felt like Root had completely emptied the Uchiha clan's Fire Style techniques just to hand them over to you in pieces as rewards.
After receiving Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation—a jutsu far beyond your chakra capabilities—you quickly completed your training task for the day.
Too tired to take on the bonus challenge, you returned to your room and made time for another deep dive into that mysterious flame.
This time, you noticed something new: the emerald-green fire had exceptional stealth properties. Even when infused with a large amount of chakra and observed with your Sharingan, it only emitted faint chakra waves.
It seemed that this flame—born from incinerating mutated parasitic insects—had inherited some of the insects' unique traits.
...
[Day 27]
While claiming your daily check-in reward, some clueless fool interrupted you, demanding a fight. You casually sent out a fire serpent, and he was reduced to ash in an instant.
Now, your mastery over Fire Style had reached the level where you could freely shape it into countless forms without even needing hand seals.
After using a wide variety of Fire Style jutsu against nearly a hundred practice targets, you were awarded an extra task completion reward—Fire Style: Hiding in Ash Jutsu.
Finally, a support-type Fire Style technique. It would give you plenty to study for a while.
While continuing your research into the green flames that burned the parasitic insects, you took out a chakra-alloy arrow and discovered something surprising—the fire stabilized upon contact with the chakra metal.
Overjoyed, you extracted three green sparks and melted down half of your stored arrows. After carefully purifying the alloy, you reforged it into a small circular container, placing the three sparks inside to nurture them at close range.
