[Bad news]
[I will stop translating this fanfic. Reason is because it gets too much into Chinese cultivation and frankly it's not really my taste. It's like the MC it's not even in the Naruto world anymore... sadly it's not really what I and most of you want in a Naruto fanfic.]
[So if someone want to continue it, just use the raw name to find it. I will just post the rest of the chapters I have now. And hope someone continue it.]
[I'm truly sorry for the troubles!]
"Hehe! Thanks, Pops!"
Riku laughed and thanked him immediately.
He planned to start with the clan's existing sealing techniques to build a foundation. Later, when he became Tsunade's disciple, he'd figure out a way to learn more sealing techniques from her or from Mito.
His goal was to create a safe method for refining chakra seeds as soon as possible.
That way, he could pass on his chakra circulation method to his family, allowing their strength to increase continuously.
In the future, they might even achieve immortality.
Yes, Riku's expectations for the chakra circulation method went that far—immortality.
Once a ninja mastered the chakra circulation method and opened the bridge between heaven and earth, they could absorb natural energy, refine it, and make it their own. This would inevitably transform the very essence of their life and greatly extend their lifespan, marking the beginning of a true transcendence.
"Oh right! Pops, Mom! This is a chakra refinement technique I personally improved. Take a look!"
"If you think it's suitable, you should switch to this one!"
"Based on my experiments, this refinement method is not only three times more efficient than the Uchiha refinement technique, it also improves energy utilization by twenty percent."
"In other words, using this to refine chakra will yield twenty percent more chakra."
After breakfast, Riku pulled out a scroll from his robes and handed it to his father while explaining.
This was a simplified version he derived from the Perfect Chakra Refinement Method.
While far less effective than the perfect version, it was also much easier to learn and practice.
Riku figured his parents—and most people in the shinobi world—wouldn't be able to learn the perfect version.
"What?!"
Hearing that, both Nobuhiko and Kokomi were shocked. As they opened the scroll together to examine it, they asked in disbelief, "Are you serious? Is it really that effective?"
Riku just smiled and shrugged. "You'll see when you try. It shouldn't be hard for you two."
"Alright! We'll give it a shot!"
The two immediately began memorizing and analyzing the technique seriously.
With their strong spiritual power and years of experience using the Uchiha chakra refinement technique, they quickly memorized the new method and gained a good understanding of it.
Without delay, the couple sat down cross-legged and began practicing Riku's version of the chakra refinement technique.
Before that, Nobuhiko once again checked the house's isolation barrier to ensure it was still functioning properly.
Then, he waved his hand to add another layer of isolation over the entire dining room.
Ten minutes later...
They both successfully switched techniques and managed to extract some chakra using Riku's version.
"It really works! Whoa!!"
After comparing the results, they found that Riku hadn't exaggerated. They both opened their eyes wide, gasping in shock.
"Riku, you haven't told anyone else about this yet, right?"
Both Nobuhiko and Kokomi asked nervously.
"Of course not."
Riku shook his head with a smile. "Do I look like someone reckless? This isn't something that should be known to outsiders just yet."
"You're right."
Relieved, both parents nodded approvingly.
Nobuhiko said, "This technique is too terrifying. If it spreads, it won't end well for us."
"And if word gets out that you created it, you'll be in danger."
"Remember, don't tell anyone outside of me and your mother for now!"
"Not even your brother!"
"Only after we finish reforming the Uchiha Police Force, unify the clan's voice, and root out the traitors and fence-sitters can we think about that."
"What's more important is that you now focus on raising your strength as much as possible without harming yourself or overexerting."
"Only when you're strong enough can we stop worrying about your safety, even if this gets leaked. Understand?"
Indeed, publicizing this technique now might rapidly improve Uchiha's strength.
But Nobuhiko knew all too well that parts of the clan couldn't be trusted. The Uchiha had long been infiltrated and hollowed out by the Third and Danzo!
If he revealed it now, this chakra refinement technique would be in their hands within the hour.
Nobuhiko wouldn't allow that.
"Got it!"
Riku nodded with a warm smile. "Then let's wait a little longer. Just give me a few years—that day won't be far off."
"But you two should keep training with it."
"Try to master it as soon as possible. Once you do, I'll have another surprise for you, hehe!"
He estimated that with their aptitude, it would take six months to a year to master his refinement technique.
By that time, he should've already become Tsunade's disciple and even created a safe method to refine chakra seeds.
Then, his parents could transition to the chakra circulation method.
"Oh?"
Nobuhiko and Kokomi raised their brows at that, sensing that Riku was cooking up something big.
But they didn't press him about it.
This kid was getting more mysterious and monstrous by the day. Let him do his thing!
...
Over the next 18 days,
Riku spent his time training in martial arts, chakra circulation, and the perfect Sharingan awakening method.
Each day, he also set aside a few hours to study sealing techniques.
Of course, his research and study of medical ninjutsu and healing techniques continued.
He even made it publicly known, letting some people notice—intentionally or not.
With Nobuhiko quietly pushing things behind the scenes, the news that Riku was a medical ninjutsu genius who mastered Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique) in a single day quickly spread.
Soon, the Third, Danzo, and many of Konoha's clan elites received word.
Their reactions varied.
But when Nobuhiko found out this information had been leaked, he urgently called for a clan meeting and flew into a rage.
He declared that there were traitors among them and that the clan had been thoroughly infiltrated, to the point that even news like this couldn't be kept secret—completely outrageous!
...
Inside the Hokage Office,
The Third puffed on his pipe as he read the intel about Riku handed over by the ANBU.
"One day to master Shōsen Jutsu? And easily grasping other medical techniques too?"
"He really is a genius."
"How is it that this kind of genius is born into the Uchiha... and is that guy Nobuhiko son too?"
To the Third, Fugaku was already considered a remarkable talent, but this Riku seemed even more gifted than his older brother.
He didn't believe for a second that this was only a gift for medical ninjutsu.
He might not be a medical-nin himself, but he understood what it took to master Shōsen Jutsu.
It required immense chakra control and strong natural affinity for Yang Release chakra.
Those two things, if used for combat ninjutsu, would produce overwhelming results.
In other words, Riku was also a prodigy in the arts of ninjutsu.
For some reason, the Third began to feel both curiosity and a sense of pity for this unseen Uchiha boy.
"But the Uchiha… they mustn't be allowed to expand unchecked."
"I have to find a way to suppress them further."
"Perfect timing—the new term at the ninja academy starts in a couple days."
"And Riku is of age now, so he'll definitely be enrolling."
"We'll test him there and see what he's made of."
"While he's still young and impressionable, there's still hope."
"Best case, we brainwash him, make him ours—plant him inside the Uchiha as our piece."
"With his identity as the clan head's son, maybe he'll play a vital role in helping us suppress the Uchiha in the future."
As that thought settled, the Third's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Tsunade...
