Chapter 47: Fist of Flames!
Whoosh! A streak of crimson flame appeared at the fingertips of Uchiha Takashi.
"This..."
Minato Namikaze and Kakashi exchanged surprised glances.
Both were well-experienced and understood the significance of what they were witnessing.
The nature transformation of chakra!
This was a technique typically mastered by Jonin-level ninjas.
But now, with this glove-like ninja tool, the gap was instantly bridged.
"Huh!"
Uchiha Takashi seemed to sense something and instinctively looked towards the creator of the tool.
"Hehe," Kushina Uzumaki proudly introduced, meeting his gaze, "That's right, this tool indeed achieves all the functions you mentioned, little sugar!"
Fire attribute chakra nature transformation, gathering flame energy, and enhancing control!
These were the three main functions Uchiha Takashi had initially proposed.
Originally, he intended for Kushina Uzumaki to focus on one of these functions to craft a personalized ninja tool for him.
Unexpectedly, she managed to incorporate all three functions.
It's simply extraordinary.
The master of sealing techniques can indeed do as they please.
A divine tool!
For him at this stage, it was undoubtedly a divine tool.
"Kushina is truly amazing!" Uchiha Takashi sincerely praised, but then helplessly complained, "But how many times have I told you not to call me that?"
He couldn't understand why she gave him the nickname 'little sugar.'
For someone like him, destined to be a powerful warrior, such a nickname was a stain on his history.
Uchiha Takashi could already imagine.
In the future, when he punches the Six Paths and kicks Kaguya, someone suddenly calling him 'little sugar' would be disastrous.
Might as well let the ninja world be destroyed.
"Hmph, back when you asked me to help craft the tool, it was 'Kushina-sister.' Now that you have it, it's just 'Kushina,' huh?"
Kushina Uzumaki's resentful tone sent a chill down Uchiha Takashi's spine, forcing him to compromise.
"Kushina-sister, you can call me whatever you like, but we should hurry to the arena, or we'll be late."
He said, quickly moving forward.
She had been incredibly dedicated to him, and he wasn't like Obito, an ungrateful person. Of course, he was grateful, so she could call him whatever she wanted.
"By the way, Uchiha Takashi, what are you going to name your tool? How about Super Flaming Thunder... Mark II?"
Minato Namikaze suggested eagerly.
"..." The three of them were speechless.
Because, despite Minato Namikaze's many talents, his penchant for naming things with overly dramatic and lengthy names was notorious.
"No, it already has a name. Let's call it 'Fist of Flames'!"
Uchiha Takashi declined Minato's 'kindness,' not wanting another embarrassing moment in his history.
Fist of Flames!
It's certainly better than those other ninja tool names, right?
Names like Seven Star Sword, Red Gourd... those really don't fit the ninja world.
If those names were acceptable, his wouldn't raise any eyebrows.
And the name was very fitting.
'Flames' highlighted the tool's characteristics, and 'Fist' represented its position as an equipment.
Perfect!
As Uchiha Takashi walked, he manipulated the flames at his fingertips, quickly familiarizing himself with the various attributes of the 'Fist of Flames.'
First, its defensive power!
Crafted from Fusang tree branches, volcanic cloth, and chakra metal threads, the Fist of Flames was lightweight and flexible, yet its defensive power was top-notch, capable of serving as armor in critical moments.
Next, the enhancement in control.
If Uchiha Takashi's control was previously a 1, it was now at least a 3.
Such a significant improvement was not only because his previous control wasn't very strong but also due to the power of sealing techniques.
Meanwhile, the surrounding temperature kept rising, but the energy consumption was decreasing.
This was because it continuously gathered the surrounding heat, allowing the user to conserve energy.
If there was time, Uchiha Takashi would have loved to head to the training ground first and experiment freely.
Just like getting a new toy, who wouldn't want to play with it first?
Chapter 47: Fist of Flames!
Along the way, Uchiha Takashi witnessed Kakashi's immense popularity.
"Go, Kakashi!"
"Don't lose!"
"You're the strongest!"
A super genius!
This reputation wasn't built for nothing. The villagers of Konoha were all cheering for him.
It's no wonder that he's destined to be the future 'Lord Kakashi', known for his legendary prowess. His popularity was undeniable, adored since childhood.
In comparison, Uchiha Takashi seemed to fade into the background.
Even walking together, in the eyes of the villagers, he was like a mere side character, akin to a servant accompanying the main heroine.
Though his strength was formidable, his surname 'Uchiha' was a double-edged sword.
Being tied to this name, it was fortunate that the village's higher-ups didn't suppress him. Expecting them to promote him was out of the question.
"Don't worry, you'll be as welcomed by the villagers as Kakashi someday!"
Namikaze Minato, perhaps noticing the stark contrast, offered a word of comfort to Uchiha Takashi.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Uchiha Takashi wasn't concerned with such things.
It's just a 'few' villagers' admiration, after all.
Before crossing over, those idol stars had hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of fans.
This number of 'fans', who were more like casual admirers, wasn't worth caring about.
Before long, they arrived at the village's edge, at the 'arena'.
This was a massive structure.
Only used during festivals, competitions, and similar events.
It could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators!
Only with the existence of ninjas could such a grand structure be built.
The arena was circular in design, with one side featuring a tall, red palace-like building serving as a wall, reserved for those of noble status to watch the events.
You couldn't expect the 'nobles' to sit with the ordinary people in the stands, could you?
At this moment, a large crowd was queuing to enter.
However, Uchiha Takashi and his group didn't need to wait in line; they took the backstage entrance.
On either side of the backstage entrance, many personnel from the three great ninja villages were stationed, specifically for inspections.
The incident in the Forest of Death had reminded the three great ninja villages of their security shortcomings, prompting them to invest more in safety measures this time.
Step, step!
After entering, Uchiha Takashi and the others split up, with him and Kakashi heading to the contestants' stands.
From here, they could overlook the arena below at close range.
The battlefield for ninja combat couldn't be too small, so it was extremely vast.
This was the Chunin Exams, after all.
If it were a battle between Kage-level ninjas, even expanding the area several times wouldn't be sufficient.
At this moment, the stands were already filled with contestants.
"Kakashi, last time we didn't settle the score. This time, I'll defeat you on the battlefield to prove the strength of the Sand Village!"
Maki approached with two teammates.
"Boring!"
Kakashi shifted his gaze, showing no interest in engaging with them.
Step, step!
Amidst heavy footsteps, several figures approached.
With imposing physiques, simple faces, and wearing Iwa ninja headbands.
It was Gang Tu! However, after stopping a few meters away, they didn't speak, only releasing an unmistakable aura of killing intent.
So, they're not pretending anymore, huh?
Uchiha Takashi silently mocked in his heart, noting that the opponent wasn't even pretending to be a genin anymore, but he quietly stepped aside.
Because their target wasn't him.
Kakashi, Maki, Gang Tu! They were the geniuses backed by the three great ninja villages: Konoha, Sand, and Iwa.
So it wasn't surprising that they only had eyes for each other.
If Uchiha Takashi didn't have to participate and had a chance to earn some money, he would've withdrawn from the competition.
How else would he cover Yamakawa Koji's medical expenses?
Now was the opportunity.

Power stones guys :D
