Fugaku had just left the training ground when he felt discomfort. He wondered what was wrong with him. He decided to train, hoping it would make him feel better.
"It's so annoying to be stared. I need to find a place where no one else is training," Fugaku muttered to himself.
He took out the map he had obtained from the police force Office earlier and glanced at it.
He located his destination and thought for a moment. Then, using the technique from he knew, he pushed his feet against the ground.
He soared through the air like a projectile, having improved his force control since his last attempt.
"Hahaha, it's so awesome," Fugaku exclaimed as he ran across the roof.
He loved the feeling of leaping more than ten meters to shorten the distance. Wasn't it too cool?
After a few jumps, Fugaku adapted to the rhythm. He landed firmly in an open space not far from the village, above Hokage mountain. There was a ground with no one around, at least for now.
He didn't expect that Fugaku had actually mastered the lightning nature transformation.
Fugaku knew that chakra was the product of combining spiritual energy with physical energy. Spiritual energy was more abstract and should be a kind of mental power.
Physical energy, on the other hand, is derived from the 130 trillion cells in the human body.
Based on that, Fugaku speculated that the bloodline of the body determined the amount of chakra a person possessed, while the spiritual energy determined the speed of extracting.
Each person's body has a natural affinity for certain elements, such as earth or fire. Some may lack one or more elements. Physical energy comes from the body's cells, so a ninja's chakra attribute is usually stable.
Unless a person could fully unlock their body's potential, they would not be able to master other attributes.
As he thought, he had a basic jutsu for the lightning attribute "Raito: Thunderbolt".
Did Fugaku have the lightning attribute? He was not sure because the anime didn't showed and he had never seen him use it. He shook his head and focused.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique."
"Wow, that's awesome!" Fugaku exclaimed.
He tried Fire Release justu again.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique." A B-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu should be the highest level of Fire Release that Fugaku could use at the moment.
A colossal dragon composed of fiery flames appeared and assaulted trees. He remembered that he could also release multiple fire dragons at once, extending the range. A skilled user could initiate it by making the "Tiger" seal.
He had to complete his seals before he could breathe from his mouth. But as soon as he did, he felt something was wrong.
As he struggled, it became increasingly difficult to move, and he sensed a rising heat. The source of this heat appeared to emanate from his pocket. Could it be the pendant?
Enduring the unbearable sensation, Fugaku quickly retrieved the pendant from his pocket. He could vaguely discern a greenish energy flowing from it into his body. Despite his efforts to discard it, but a sharp pain pierced his chest, causing him to clutch it in agony as he sank to his knees.
Though the pendant slipped from his grasp, his body continued to absorb the green energy, enveloping him in feverish torment. Sweat poured from him, and panic gripped him as he contemplated his deteriorating condition. Was this to be his end?
Suddenly, a fiery red blaze erupted from his shoulder, eliciting a gasp from Fugaku as he struggled to extinguish the flames, his movements sluggish and weighed down by an unseen force.
"It's hot; it hurts," Fugaku cried out as his clothes burned and charred, falling off his shoulders while the fire seemed to spread all over him.
As panic gripped him, he realized, "It's burning; my clothes are gone, my pants too... Am I going to die?"
Fugaku had become a human torch, engulfed in flames. Then, amidst the torment, a greenish glow reached the burned area, bringing him some relief.
The fire continued to torment him, but the soothing green light offered a brief respite. As Fugaku's consciousness wavered in the midst of agony.
To his astonishment, he noticed that he remained unscathed by the flames. His body were intact, untouched by the fire.
...…..
The sky was turning dark as Mikoto stood in front of her house, nervously tapping her fingers.
Fugaku should have returned by now, judging by the time. But why was there no sign of him?
"Seiki, have you seen fugaku?" Mikoto asked with a forced smile, stopping Uchiha Seiki as he walked by.
She couldn't fathom anything happening to Fugaku in Konoha. With his status and strength, he was surely safe in the Leaf Village.
Uchiha Seiki was taken aback. "What? The clan head? Didn't he go to the training ground after lunch? He... hasn't come back yet?"
