Naruto: Awakening Eternal Power with My Eye Techniques

Chapter 76: Minato Namikaze's Wind Release Ninjutsu



Later, Hatake Sumao taught Minato Namikaze five Wind Release techniques. Among them were three that allowed the user to channel Wind chakra into weapons such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon.

[Wind Release Kunai] infused regular kunai with Wind chakra, effectively transforming them into short blades with significantly increased sharpness.

[Wind Release Shuriken] worked similarly by enhancing the sharpness and range of thrown shuriken. However, it also made their flight paths unpredictable and extremely difficult to dodge.

[Wind Release Senbon] focused on increasing both throwing speed and penetration power while maintaining excellent stealth capabilities.

As for the remaining two Wind Release techniques—Vacuum Sphere and Great Vacuum Cannon—they were Danzo's specialties. These proved especially practical for Minato Namikaze, whose chakra reserves far surpassed those of his peers.

In addition, Hatake Sumao provided guidance regarding the sword techniques originally passed down to Minato by Shiyu Uchiha. He helped refine the first two moves, making them better suited for Minato's unique style and more fluid when combined with the Body Flicker Technique.

The final strike—a single stabbing motion—was reworked into a kunai throw. After infusing it with Wind chakra, it gained terrifying piercing power and incredible speed. This adaptation was specifically designed by Hatake Sumao to complement Minato's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Furthermore, he guided Minato in improving his current Body Flicker Technique by incorporating Wind nature transformation to enhance his natural speed.

As for Shiyu Uchiha, Hatake Sumao offered relatively fewer adjustments. Unlike Minato, Shiyu originated from a declining ninja clan.

Shiyu already had rich family traditions in swordsmanship. However, at this time, Hatake Sumao ranked as the best swordsman in Konoha, offering many valuable insights. It could even be said that his sword style—which blended speed and strength for quick, clean takedowns—suited Shiyu even better.

This greatly accelerated Shiyu Uchiha's progress during sparring sessions with Hatake Sumao, allowing him to further absorb and integrate various sword styles he had recently learned under Shizhi Uchiha.

Additionally, Shiyu noticed that Hatake Sumao maintained an unusually close friendship with Orochimaru. Throughout that year, Shiyu observed multiple visits from Orochimaru to Hatake Sumao, which helped them build a casual rapport.

With Jiraiya, Minato's mentor, as an intermediary, Orochimaru even personally instructed both Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze on shape transformation and nature transformation related to Wind and Fire chakra, greatly benefiting them.

Moreover, the respectful and earnest personalities of Shiyu and Minato—as well as the direct and forthright manner of the two girls—won Hatake Sumao's approval. He even introduced them to his own son, Kakashi Hatake.

At just three years old, Kakashi Hatake was quite interesting—and somewhat precocious. Although he often pretended not to care, he clearly enjoyed having people around to play with. Since Kakashi's mother had passed away shortly after his birth, Hatake Sumao had been raising him alone, only briefly entrusting Kakashi to relatives whenever he went on missions.

Since he looked so adorable, he often ended up being looked after by the two girls along with Hatake Sumao whenever he gave training sessions to Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze. Of course, the main caretaker was Ling Uzumaki, known for his gentleness and patience.

As for Kushina Uzumaki, Shiyu Uchiha felt as if she had found a fun toy.

After meeting Kakashi, Shiyu was reminded of Obito Uchiha from the main branch of the clan. Like Kakashi, Obito had also been born during the Second Ninja War.

Currently, because Shiyu had been told by his mother to carefully look after him, whenever Obito saw Shiyu, he felt unusually close and even started tagging behind Shiyu to beg for candy.

If it weren't for Shiyu knowing that even if he got rid of Obito, Madara Uchiha would just find someone else to inherit that legacy anyway—so it would have been better to leave things as they were—he very nearly orchestrated an "accident" to eliminate this kid.

Obito Uchiha was about half a year older than Kakashi Hatake. His father had fought side by side with Hatake Sumao in the Land of Rivers but died moments before the war's victory, which was why Sumao treated him differently.

Furthermore, after bringing Obito out under Shiyu Uchiha's guidance, Sumao had hoped he could be a companion for Kakashi Hatake. However, Kakashi, being a bit mature for his age, found Obito too childish and didn't want to play with him.

For this reason, Sumao had a long talk with Kakashi. Combined with Obito's naturally carefree personality, the two now actually got along quite well. No one could figure out what strange switch flipped in Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze's minds that made them suddenly adore Obito.

Moreover, just as Shiyu had originally guessed upon arriving here, the relationship between Obito's family and Shiyu's remained quite close. Obito's mother was actually a close blood relative of Uchiha Shizhi.

Before her marriage, Obito's mother used to visit their house often. Therefore, upon learning of her loss, Shizhi specifically asked Shiyu and his sister to take good care of Obito in the future.

All these developments were likely unintentional changes caused by Shiyu's arrival, resulting in better health for Uchiha Shizhi than in the original storyline, largely thanks to Tsunade's medical help, allowing relationships from the previous generation to continue into this timeline.

After all, in the original timeline, Shiyu Uchiha might have already died by the time of his arrival. The immense grief of losing a son would have been devastating; thus, Shizhi likely wouldn't have survived past the Second Ninja War either. Only the underage Mikoto Uchiha would remain, gradually causing many relationships to fade away.

The key factor was that Shizhi successfully mastered the Sharingan Meditation Method. Even more surprisingly, thanks to both the meditation method and Tsunade's medical expertise, Shizhi's physical condition improved further. Mainly through consistent meditation practice, the power of the Mangekyou began providing slight nourishing benefits back to its host—something Shizhi had never imagined before.

After completing the meditation successfully and deeply moved by the technique's extreme difficulty, Shizhi then began discussing with Shiyu Uchiha how to refine and improve this meditation method further, making it suitable for all members of the Uchiha clan.

Still, this was a family secret for now and not meant for public sharing, since the meditation technique still didn't suit everyone.

The mother and son then began tweaking the meditation method. Unfortunately, due to Uchiha Shizhi's habit of testing things on herself, Shiyu Uchiha spent a long time trying to persuade her not to use her own body for experiments, but failed. In the end, he had no choice but to resort to threats.

Shiyu said, "If you go experimenting on yourself, then I will too." This finally convinced Uchiha Shizhi. However, because he had threatened his mother, Shiyu received a stern reprimand from his beloved mother.

At the same time, Uchiha Shizhi also started guiding Mikoto Uchiha in practicing the meditation method, hoping that through it, she could soothe the mental fluctuations caused by awakening the Sharingan and ease the sorrow in her heart.
