Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 3: Am I capable of using anything except fire-breathing?

Today was the day their father was testing Yan Yi's talent. Ban was very confident that his younger brother would be exceptional, so he took his fish basket and went fishing by the river early in the morning.

"Yan Yi loves fish the most, let's surprise him today, he can eat it when he gets home!" Ban was in a good mood, humming an unknown song while intently watching the water...

However, this tranquility did not last long before it was broken by a familiar voice calling out.

"Brother Ban! Stop fishing for now, Yan Yi... seems to have encountered some problems with today's test."

When Madara, who was fishing, heard Izuna panting behind him, he immediately dropped his fishing rod and ran over, looking at Izuna with a worried expression.

"Something went wrong? What happened?!"

Izuna was panting heavily, barely able to stand upright as he supported himself on his knees; he had clearly run all the way here. Madara, seeing this, didn't think much of it and simply carried Izuna on his back, heading towards the clan's training grounds.

Izuna, lying on Madara's back, finally caught her breath and began to explain what she had just heard.

"Brother Madara, I heard that Third Brother seems to be completely unable to use ninjutsu for some reason. During the ninjutsu test just now, his Fireball Jutsu didn't even produce a single flame..."

"How could this be..."

Madara found it hard to accept that his younger brother, who was so outstanding, intelligent, and sensible, could have fallen so far behind in ninjutsu training.

“I couldn’t see because the adults were blocking my view, but from the sound, my third brother was about to cry... I don’t know what Father’s attitude is. What if he scolds Yan Yi... Brother Ban, what should we do?”

Ban grew increasingly anxious as he listened, his pace quickening involuntarily. He had always cherished his third brother, fearing he might suffer even the slightest hardship. But now, his brother had endured such a devastating setback, and he hadn't been there for him...

"No, Father won't blame Yan Yi... Even if Yan Yi really has absolutely no talent for ninjas, he's still our most adorable little brother, and we can protect him..."

His words seemed to be comforting Izuna, but they were more of a consolation to himself.

As they drew closer to the training ground, they could see a large circle of tribesmen gathered, accompanied by various murmurs and chatter; the scene was incredibly noisy...

"Excuse me, let me through..."

Ban was a little anxious. The expressions of the clansmen on the field were all strange. Ban didn't know what had happened. He just wanted to run to Yan Yi's side as soon as possible and comfort him.

"Young Master, you've arrived? Just now, the Third Young Master..." The Uchiha clansman paused halfway through his sentence, his expression somewhat ambiguous.

Seeing his reaction, Ban didn't want to waste any more words; he wanted to see for himself.

It must be said that Madara's talent and strength were recognized by most of the clan members. As the eldest son of the clan leader, he certainly had the demeanor of a young master. When the clan members saw Madara arrive, they all stepped aside to make way for him.

Madara carried Izuna in a few steps to the center of the field. The scene he had imagined—his father scolding Yan Yi, or Yan Yi squatting on the ground crying—did not happen.

And what is the current situation...?

Yan Yi, however, clenched his fist with a confident expression. Upon spotting a familiar figure in the crowd, he immediately waved in Ban's direction, his expression seemingly saying something like, "Ban-ge, look at me!"

"Uh..."

Madara was completely bewildered and asked Izuna in confusion, "Izuna, wasn't it said that Yan Yi had a problem...? What's going on?"

Izuna frowned, completely bewildered. They had just been discussing how Yan Yi couldn't use ninjutsu.

However, at this moment, a clansman behind Ban overheard the brothers' conversation and said to Ban, "The eldest young master didn't come just now, did he? The second young master was right... The third young master did have some problems just now."

"Hmm? What exactly happened?" Hearing the voice, Madara turned around and looked at the other person before asking.

The atmosphere still seemed a bit strange, but at least for now, neither Yan Yi nor his father seemed disappointed or dejected, which made Ban feel a little more relaxed.

The tribesman frowned slightly as he recalled what had just happened, but quickly relaxed.

"That's right, the Third Young Master really couldn't use Fire Release just now. He tried many times but couldn't, which is something that has basically never happened before in our clan..."

"What? And then?" Madara asked quickly.

"And then... well, although the Third Young Master doesn't seem to be able to use Fire Release, his Water Release talent seems to be quite good..."

Madara finally understood why the atmosphere was so strange, and why his father's expression didn't seem disappointed. But... being an Uchiha, yet unable to use Fire Release? This...

It's important to know that almost everyone in the Uchiha clan is born with fire-attribute constitutions, while some also have lightning-attribute constitutions. As for others, they are relatively few.

Regardless of how many other attributes they possess, without exception, everyone has the fire attribute... Moreover, almost all ninjas in the clan learn the Great Fireball Jutsu as their first ninjutsu.

"This is actually happening?"

That's certainly true...

As they were talking, the Zhu clan member on the field had already left the stage, and the next one to enter was a clan member with the talent of Wind Release. Under the watchful eyes of all the clan members, the opponent easily used a simple Wind Release ninjutsu: Wind Cutter.

Ban nervously watched Yan Yi's direction, his palms sweating.

However, Yan Yi did not disappoint him. After imitating the other party's hand seals, he also released a wind blade using the most basic chakra flow.

bass!

The wind blade's power was neither too great nor too small; it was just enough to leave a two-centimeter-deep wound on the wooden stake.

"Wow!"

"Huh? That's impressive, the Third Young Master actually has quite a talent for Wind Release..."

The murmurs rose again, and a hint of surprise flashed in Madara's eyes. He hadn't expected his third brother, Yan Yi, to have such a talent for Wind Release. If he combined that with the generally stronger Fire Release of the clan members, wouldn't that be incredibly powerful!

The surprise in Tajima's eyes deepened, and his admiration also grew. He was a little happy, but he never showed his joy on his face. He simply hummed in agreement and patted Yan Yi's head.

"Really! I can really use ninjutsu!" Yan Yi looked at his hands in disbelief, his eyes filled with nothing but excitement.

While simultaneously displaying two innate chakra natures already qualifies one as genius, this wasn't the end of it. Tajima was increasingly eager to see his son's performance; he wanted to test all five chakra natures on Genichi...

"How are you feeling? Can your body still hold up?"

“I can! Father, please continue!” Yan Yi answered without hesitation.

Actually, after wasting so much chakra on Fire Release at the beginning, and now using Water Release and Wind Release in succession, Yan Yi's body was already exhausted. But at this moment... he didn't want to disappoint his father, and also because Madara and Izuna were watching him!

"Good! He truly is my son."

Tajima's rare direct praise further fueled Yan Yi's enthusiasm. In truth, Tajima had already noticed that Yan Yi's chakra was nearly depleted; further testing would likely cause him to faint. However, Yan Yi was his son, and Tajima believed he wouldn't give up.

"Next, I will personally instruct you on how to use Lightning Release and Earth Release. Watch the hand seals in my hand..."

After Tajima finished speaking, he slowly began to form hand seals. Yan Yi stared intently at his father's hands, trying to stay focused and hold on a little longer...

A few breaths later, a blue bolt of lightning rapidly spread from Tajima's feet, rushing directly down the ground towards the wooden stake.

"This is Lightning Release: Earth Walk, a very basic Lightning Release technique. Try again to see if you can use it."

Yan Yi nodded and began to imitate his father's hand seals, forcibly gathering a burst of chakra... Beads of sweat were already forming on Yan Yi's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and released the ninjutsu...

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
