Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 2 What? I can't breathe fire?

On the Uchiha clan's training ground, a group of Uchiha clansmen surrounded the area in layers, and in the very center of the field stood Uchiha Tajima. A meter in front of Tajima stood Uchiha Genichi, who looked very nervous.

"Are you ready?" Tajima asked calmly.

Although Yan Yi was nervous, she still nodded vigorously.

"I'm ready, Father!" The voice was slightly childish, but it revealed a firm resolve.

Tajima remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was quite pleased. Regardless of his youngest son's talent, just looking into his eyes told him that the boy had potential.

"You can begin now that you're ready. You've mastered the chakra extraction method I taught you a few days ago, right? Although it was a short time, you should have already extracted some chakra from your body. Next is..."

Tajima paused here, his tone becoming serious...

"Now memorize my hand seal sequence. This is your first time using ninjutsu, so don't be nervous. Just follow my instructions."

After Tajima finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and slowly began to form hand seals. He wanted Yan to see clearly what each seal looked like.

However, Yan Yi already knew all the hand seals. In his spare time, he would practice the hand seals according to the book. Although his movements were still a bit clumsy, they were already starting to look good.

There are six seals in total: Si, Wei, Shen, Hai, Wu, and Yin. After Tajima finished making them, Genichi immediately reproduced the same hand seals.

At this moment, Yan Yi was extremely nervous. Could she succeed? She had to succeed!

The chakra within his body flowed slowly, eventually gathering at the throat. He held his breath and focused intently...

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Yan Yi shouted loudly, and his chakra was immediately released!

"..."

To everyone's surprise, not a single flame appeared... meaning that Yan Yi's ninjutsu had completely failed!

Yan Yi's eyes were filled with disbelief. He could definitely feel the chakra gathering in his throat, and he had indeed released it, but how...

Tajima frowned slightly. Through his Sharingan, he could more directly observe the flow of chakra in Yan Yi's body. Although it was so weak as to be negligible, it should still be more than enough to release a Great Fireball.

"Father, I..." Yan Yi's voice trembled slightly. He was unable to accept the current situation and did not know what went wrong.

Tajima's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he walked over to pat Yan Yi's head encouragingly, "Don't be nervous... If you don't succeed the first time, try a few more times, you'll succeed eventually."

Encouraged by his father, Yan Yi's expression immediately brightened. He tugged at his sleeve, took a deep breath, and refocused his mind to mobilize his chakra.

"This time we absolutely have to succeed..."

Clearing his mind of distractions, Yan Yi closed his eyes and silently began forming hand seals...

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As the ninjutsu was released, not a single spark appeared, and not even the air rippled...

Fire Release: Great Fireball!

Fire Release...

She tried several times, but the result was still the same, with absolutely no effect. Yan Yi lowered her head in frustration, her fists clenched tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.

"How could this happen... Where did I go wrong? Why can't I breathe fire...?"

Tajima's Sharingan remained activated as he carefully observed. Each time, Yan Yi had indeed consumed chakra. The total amount of chakra in his small body was quite considerable for his age, yet the ninjutsu hadn't taken effect...

After much deliberation, Tajima considered an outrageous possibility...

Seeing his youngest son about to cry, Tajima immediately said, "A real man doesn't shed tears. Now is not the time to cry. I've thought about the possibility that you won't be able to use the Great Fireball Technique..."

"Waaah..."

Yan Yi looked up through teary eyes, glancing at her father with some confusion, not quite understanding the meaning behind his words.

Tajima looked around at the Uchiha clan members, still finding it hard to believe. He came to only one conclusion: his youngest son, Yan Yi, might not have been born with the fire attribute.

This is unprecedented in the Uchiha clan. Almost all Uchiha clan members are born with fire attribute, but Yan Yi... is probably one in ten thousand who does not have the fire attribute.

"Ahem, well then, although my guess is a bit far-fetched, let's verify it first."

As Tajima spoke, he waved to an Uchiha clansman who was watching from a distance. Upon receiving the signal, the Uchiha clansman immediately stepped forward and walked up to Tajima.

"Clan Chief, the Third Young Master..."

Tajima waved his hand, his expression unreadable, and simply said, "Zhu Men, try using a simple water jutsu..."

The young ninja known as Zhu Men immediately realized what was happening, and he was also somewhat incredulous. Although his innate ability to use Water Release was quite rare among the Uchiha clan, he was also born with the ability to use Fire Release. How could there be an Uchiha clan member who didn't know Fire Release...?

Although it was a bit unbelievable, Zhu Men still obediently began to demonstrate for Yan Yi.

He slowly formed three hand seals, placed his fingers in a ring shape in front of his mouth, and instantly released the ninjutsu. A stream of water shot out of his mouth and hit the wooden stake three meters away.

After finishing the ninjutsu, Zhu Men smiled and explained to Yan Yi, "Third Young Master, this is a very basic water-style ninjutsu called Water Chaos Wave. It only requires three hand seals to release. Why don't you... give it a try?"

Yan Yi finally realized that the reason he couldn't use Fire Release was... could it be?

To be honest, Yan Yi knew the basic fact that ninjas were naturally better at certain attributes, but he had also been a bit prejudiced earlier. After all, he had never actually seen an Uchiha who couldn't use Fire Release.

Having figured out some possibilities, Yan Yi regained her confidence. After hastily wiping away her tears with her sleeve, she revealed a determined look in her eyes again.

With only three hand seals (辰丑卯), Yan Yi quickly completed the hand seal formation. Next came the most crucial step. The chakra flow was clear, not as complex as high-level ninjutsu; it was as simple as drawing horizontal and vertical lines—simple and straightforward.

With chakra concentrated in his throat, Yan Yi seemed to have used all his strength to desperately throw out this ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!!"

wow——

A stream of blue water, nearly a meter wide, shot out from Yan Yi's mouth in an instant. Its attack range was vast, striking the wooden stake three meters away...

Yan Yi, having successfully unleashed his ninjutsu, stared wide-eyed, somewhat stunned. Finally...finally!!

He did it! He really succeeded in unleashing the ninjutsu!

Tajima's furrowed brows completely disappeared, replaced by a look of satisfaction. Although he didn't know why his youngest son couldn't use Fire Release, judging from his Water Release technique just now, while the power was still small, the scale was already quite remarkable.

But how old is he? This is his first time successfully releasing a ninjutsu, and judging from this performance alone, it is already quite remarkable.

"Well done." Tajima nodded lightly, gently stroking Yan Yi's head with his large hand.

"Yes! I did it! I can use ninjutsu now!"

Yan Yi looked very excited because the feeling was simply amazing. Although he had been in this world for several years, these superpowers, which were not something humans could possess in his original world, were incredibly cool!

Not only was Tajima happy, but the surrounding Uchiha clan members also applauded. This level of ninjutsu was already considered genius-level; it seemed the three children of the clan head were all quite talented. This was good news for the entire Uchiha clan.

Tajima was in a good mood and also looked forward to it, saying to Yan Yi, "Hmm, I feel like you still have untapped potential. Would you like to try some other ninjutsu?"

"Okay! Please teach me, Father!" Yan Yi clenched her little fist, her eyes filled with confidence.
