Chapter 20 - You're Quite Good at Picking Things Up

Shin'yu looked at Uchiha Hikari with a rather resentful gaze.

After being enthusiastically embraced by Amaterasu, he was really unhappy. If it weren't for his special eye technique, he would probably have been turned into ashes by now.

The temperature of that flame was truly terrifying, and he was still a little frightened.

Although he could reverse time, the pain was real!

Lord Madara waved his hand and said, "Shin'yu, let her go."

"But, she might still suddenly attack us." Shin'yu was still a little apprehensive.

"Don't worry, she can't." Lord Madara's tone was calm, revealing the absolute confidence of a Kage-level powerhouse.

"Okay, Lord Madara."

Shin'yu moved his body as instructed, allowing Uchiha Hikari to get up.

Lord Madara looked down at Uchiha Hikari, his faint voice drifting into her ears.

"What Shin'yu said just now is all true, but there is one thing... whether the war is really over remains to be considered. For the ninja world, peace is only temporary. There is still a long way to go before the ideal world in my mind."

"Ideal world... huh..." Light murmured.

"Releasing you represents our recognition of your strength. On this road of pursuing ideals, you can walk with us as a companion, not a weapon."

Lord Madara changed his tone, "Of course, you can also leave completely and live the life you want."

"Huh?" Shin'yu was stunned, and glanced at Lord Madara with some doubt.

"But, see the reality clearly. Before we succeed, this is still a false world, still full of those unsatisfactory things." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shin'yu was a little confused. The Light he had almost risked his life to release was ignored by Lord Madara.

Helpless, he hesitated and glanced at Uchiha Hikari, and could only follow, leaving her alone in place.

"Does Lord Madara really not care about Uchiha Hikari? Or is he going to use his personal charm to subdue her?" Shin'yu frowned, unable to help but ponder in his heart.

Uchiha Hikari stood there blankly. After an unknown amount of time, she came back to her senses, looked at the two figures gradually moving away, and suddenly took a step.

...

"She really followed!" Shin'yu leaned close to Lord Madara and said in a low voice.

"What should we do? Should we wait for her for a while?"

"No need." Lord Madara still had that indifferent look, "Since she chose to follow, she will definitely carry it out to the end. If she can't even do this, she is not an Uchiha."

"Maybe she just wants to catch up and ask for directions..." Shin'yu thought secretly.

The two ran along the tree-lined path and soon entered a small town.

Shin'yu chose an izakaya, "Lord Madara, let's take a break here."

Lord Madara nodded, and the two walked into the izakaya and chose a seat near the inner hall.

Shin'yu took the menu from the waiter and ordered a few big meals in a big way, such as ramen, sushi, stewed sea bream, chikuzenni, and a pot of hot sukiyaki.

From last night until now, he hasn't eaten a single thing.

While waiting for the meal, Shin'yu hesitated again and again, took out two scrolls from his bosom, and handed them to Madara.

"Lord Madara, I picked these up casually in the secret room of the Hokage Building yesterday. I don't know what they are, but the seals on them are a bit tricky."

Madara took the scroll, blue light flashing from his fingertips, and easily broke the seal.

"Spiritualization Technique?" Madara glanced at it a few times, then opened another scroll, "This is... Eight Gates Release Formation?"

He glanced at Shin'yu with a slightly scrutinizing look, "Both are S-Rank Forbidden Techniques, you're quite good at picking things up, aren't you?"

"Lord Madara, you know me."

Shin'yu straightened his back and said with a justified tone, "A fool doesn't take advantage when there's an opportunity."

Fortunately, Madara didn't say much, but instead threw the scrolls back to Shin'yu.

"Now that you've got them, there's no reason not to learn them."

"Um... isn't Lord Madara going to cultivate them?" Shin'yu asked tentatively, he thought Madara would be interested in these forbidden techniques.

"I don't need them." Madara said lightly, "That Spiritualization Technique is very helpful for improving mental strength, you can study it, the strength of the eye power is directly linked to mental strength, and the relationship between mental strength and Yin Release is even more inseparable..."

Shin'yu nodded as if he understood, he came from a rough background and had never experienced any professional guidance or cultivation. All his combat skills came from instinct.

Even the ninjutsu he had mastered, he learned from his comrades around him.

In his vague understanding, he only knew that eye power was the power released by the practitioner through the eyes, and it had a great relationship with Yin Release. For some eye techniques and bloodlines, eye power was the standard for measuring the strength of a person's eye technique.

And the strength of Yin Release is directly proportional to mental strength.

Madara looked at his half-understanding appearance, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you know what the essence of chakra is?"

"I know this one." Shin'yu responded, "Chakra is the product of the perfect fusion of a person's spiritual energy and physical energy. Spiritual energy represents the 'Yin' attribute, and physical energy represents the 'Yang' attribute. The different proportions of Yin and Yang give rise to the seven nature transformations of chakra, which also corresponds to the Yin and Yang combining to create all things in the world."

"Not bad." Madara nodded in satisfaction.

Shin'yu smiled. These were all told to him by a cold-faced but warm-hearted uncle on the battlefield, but this uncle later died in the encirclement of the Senju Clan. Thinking of this, his smile became dim.

Madara didn't seem to notice this and said to himself, "In the nature transformations of chakra, Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning are the five basic attributes, while Yin Release and Yang Release are special natures."

Shin'yu was brought back to his thoughts and asked, "Could it be... that spiritual energy is Yin Release? And physical energy is Yang Release?"

"Beginners easily fall into this kind of misunderstanding." Madara shook his head and smiled. As the warm tea entered his stomach, he also became interested in talking.

"Yin Release is a special chakra extracted from spiritual energy by fusing a part of the 'Yang' attribute, and vice versa for Yang Release. Their special feature is that this Yin and Yang ratio is innate, unlike the five elements ninjutsu which can be learned later."

He looked out the window, his voice ethereal and distant, "Those born with Yin Release want to obtain the power of Yang Release, they can only defy fate..."

Shin'yu was thoughtful. Madara's words made him suddenly enlightened, with a feeling of seeing the sky after parting the clouds.

The external manifestations of the five elements ninjutsu are easy to distinguish, but the techniques based on Yin Release and Yang Release seem to be... mostly secret ninjutsu.

For example, medical ninjutsu, the Akimichi Clan's Multi-Size Technique, the Senju Clan's Super Strength, etc. These are related to the body and mostly belong to the external manifestations of Yang Release;

And those related to the spirit mostly belong to Yin Release, such as the Nara Clan's Secret Technique of using Yin Release to deform shadows, the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Body Switch Technique, the Byakugan and Sharingan, etc., all belong to the external manifestations of Yin Release.

It can be said that spiritual energy is an important component of Yin Release, and Yin Release is a symbol of the strength of eye power.

Shin'yu's eyes lit up slightly, the obscure points of the past were being cleared up little by little.
