Now that he had comprehended such a powerful S-rank kenjutsu, Uchiha Genji wasn't about to let it go to waste.
For the next several days, he dedicated time each day to practicing this new technique deep in the mountains, hundreds of kilometers away from the village.
His progress was significant.
With his natural talent, mastering Chakra control, refining his swordsmanship, and improving the Nature Transformation of his Wind and Lightning attributes wasn't much of a challenge.

Mastering the Technique
"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique... Slash!"
With a swift motion, a massive bright blue slash, more than ten meters long, erupted from Uchiha Genji's sword.
"Shhhh!"
The air in front of him was ripped apart, the wind howling fiercely.
Everything within a hundred-meter radius was cleanly severed, leaving behind a five-meter-deep trench with razor-sharp edges stretching to the distant horizon.
"Crack! Crack!"
But the next moment...
The sword in Genji's hand—along with its scabbard—shattered into iron dust and crumbled from his grasp.
"Ugh... this again."
Genji brushed the metal dust from his hands and sighed.
"This technique is incredible... but finding a sword that can actually handle the power is a nightmare."
"Even finely crafted iron swords break after one slash."
He'd already burned through a staggering number of swords during his training.
To save money, Genji had created a Thunder-Fire Alchemy Array, using it to refine high-quality steel.
Now he could mass-produce durable iron swords for training.

A New Technique Emerges
[During repeated practice of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, you had an epiphany and created the weakened version: S-Class Kenjutsu · Sword Drawing Technique.]
[S-Class Kenjutsu · Sword Drawing Technique]: A modified, less demanding version of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique. This high-speed sword-drawing technique uses Wind or Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation. The stronger the Nature Transformation, the faster the draw and the greater the destructive power.
---
"Perfect!" Genji smiled.
"This can be my go-to kenjutsu for routine battles... and my family can learn it too."
His father, older brother, and Mikoto should be able to handle this version.
Even standard iron swords could now withstand multiple uses.
---
In Search of Stronger Blades
"Still... I need to find stronger blades."
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Legendary swords... like the Kusanagi Blade... would be ideal."
"Orochimaru... probably has one, or at least knows where to find it. I'll need to strike a deal with him."
In addition, Genji decided to contact Shinji to start searching for rare swords on the black market.

Creating Another New Sword Style
[By combining Taijiquan with your understanding of swordsmanship, you gained an epiphany and created Taiji Sword Style.]
[Taiji Sword Style]: A versatile swordsmanship style that alternates between offense and defense, blending yin and yang, strength and softness, with remarkable adaptability for complex battle scenarios.
---
"This will be perfect for my family as their everyday swordsmanship."
Pleased with his progress, Genji returned home via the Flying Thunder God Technique.
---
Back Home
"Xiao Gen, you're back! Perfect timing! Dinner's ready!"
Uchiha Meixin greeted him warmly.
"Coming!"
During dinner, Genji announced:
"I've developed two new sword techniques. I'll teach you all now. These should serve you well in battle."
"Once you've mastered these, you can train in the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique when you're ready."
Raising his hand, he pressed two fingers to the foreheads of his parents, brother, and Mikoto—imparting the techniques directly into their minds.

Excited Reactions
Uchiha Hiroshi's eyes lit up as he processed the new information.
"Wow! These are incredible! The Sword Drawing Technique is perfect for me!"
With this, Hiroshi felt his arsenal was complete—alongside his Bajiquan, Shunpo, Sharingan, and his collection of powerful ninjutsu.
---
"Don't get cocky!"
Their father, Uchiha Chiyo, knocked Hiroshi on the head.
"The Taiji Sword Style is just as important. It's versatile and ideal for surviving unpredictable battlefields. Don't rely solely on powerful techniques—you'll regret it when you're exhausted."
Hiroshi sulked but had to admit his father was right.
"Fine... I'll train in both."
Then Hiroshi shot his father an exasperated look.
"But Father... can you please stop hitting me on the head?"
"I'm almost eighteen, about to get married. Do you have to embarrass me all the time?"
"I need some dignity, you know!"
Chiyo smirked.
"What was that?"
"N-Nothing!" Hiroshi gulped and quickly focused on his food.

At the Hatake Household
Meanwhile, at Kakashi's house...
Kakashi had just returned home and noticed his father, Hatake Sakumo, casually cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Kakashi stared for a moment.
"Father... why did you resign from Anbu?"
"And why did you cancel your ninja status altogether?"
"Was it because of me?"
"I can take care of myself, and I never blamed you for not being around."
Sakumo chuckled softly.
"Come on, let's eat first. I'll explain everything over dinner."
The two set the table and began to eat.
---
The Truth
Sakumo finally spoke.
"The truth is... those rumors you heard in the village—they were orchestrated."
Kakashi's eyes widened.
"What?! Who did this? Why?"
Sakumo shook his head.
"It's not important right now. Just know that there were some... 'concerned individuals' in the village who felt threatened by my reputation."
"To avoid their schemes, I resigned and stepped away from it all."
Kakashi clenched his fists.
"That's disgusting! After everything you've done for the village?!"
Sakumo smiled faintly.
"Don't worry about that. My priority now is you... and my swordsmanship."
"I've been inspired by Uchiha Genji. He helped me see a new path forward."
"I'll develop stronger techniques and pass them on to you."
"With my swordsmanship in your hands... you'll prove to the world what I couldn't."
Kakashi swallowed hard and nodded firmly.
"I won't let you down, Father."

The Third Hokage's Worries
Meanwhile, at the Sarutobi residence...
The Third Hokage asked his son, Asuma, about Genji and Sakumo's sparring match.
"Did Uchiha Genji say anything strange to White Fang that day?"
Asuma scoffed.
"Why are you so worried? Are you afraid White Fang was going to take your place as Hokage?"
The Third Hokage slammed his hand on the table.
"Watch your mouth, Asuma! I'm your father!"
"And for the record... Sakumo's resignation had nothing to do with me!"
Asuma's skeptical gaze lingered.
"Yeah... sure."
