Chapter 16: 100% Loyalty Achieved, Uchiha Rin Unleashes Potential
The devilish training had, in the blink of an eye, continued for three days. Uchiha Rin, Uchiha Tetsu, and Uchiha Kai, from their initial complaints, gradually adapted, their wills and bodies undergoing unprecedented tempering. As for Uchiha Akira, his control over Lightning Release became increasingly proficient, and the prototype of Chidori gradually stabilized. Although there was still a gap from the true Chidori, it already possessed considerable power.
The newly developed composite Ninjutsu, "Lightning Flame Bullet," also continued to improve in power through constant attempts and refinements.
In the afternoon, after the Taijutsu training ended, Uchiha Rin was drenched in sweat, her chest heaving violently. During these three days of hellish training, her Taijutsu bottleneck showed faint signs of loosening. All of this was thanks to Uchiha Akira's precise and rigorous guidance.
"Rin, come here for a moment," Akira's voice called out.
"Yes, Captain!" Rin dared not delay and immediately went before Akira.
"You're making rapid progress," Akira looked at her, a hint of approval in his eyes, "but it's still not enough." Akira paused, then continued, "I will now teach you an advanced power exertion technique from Uchiha-style Taijutsu, which will allow you to unleash stronger power and speed in an instant. Watch closely!"
Saying this, Akira personally demonstrated it for Rin. Uchiha Rin observed and learned intently. Captain Akira was actually teaching her such a precious Taijutsu profound mystery without reservation! An indescribable warmth surged in her heart. This feeling of being valued and anticipated was something she had never experienced in the Uchiha Clan.
[Ding!]
Just then, a clear system notification sound suddenly rang in Akira's mind.
[Detected that Uchiha Rin's loyalty to the host has reached 100% (absolute devotion)!]
[Congratulations, Host! Family member Uchiha Rin's loyalty is complete, meeting the 'Potential Activation' condition!]
[Do you want to perform 'Potential Activation' on Uchiha Rin?]
[Note: The first activation of the 'Potential Activation' function will consume 500 Family Glory Points.]
Akira's heart suddenly filled with joy. It was here! One of the core system functions he had been waiting for so long could finally be activated! Akira suppressed his inner excitement, his face remaining impassive, and continued to explain the Taijutsu essentials to Rin. Only after completely teaching the advanced power exertion technique did Akira let Rin go and practice on her own.
After Rin walked to the side and began practicing alone, Akira immediately gave an instruction to the system in his mind: "System, activate Uchiha Rin's potential!"
[Confirm consumption of 500 Family Glory Points to perform 'Potential Activation' on Uchiha Rin?]
"Confirm!"
Buzz——!
An invisible and profound force instantly spread from Akira, like ripples, precisely enveloping Uchiha Rin, who was practicing Taijutsu. Uchiha Rin, who was mid-punch, suddenly stiffened. She only felt an inexplicable warm current, like an electric current, coursing through her limbs and bones, every cell cheering!
A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but soon, this confusion was replaced by an unprecedented clarity. The Taijutsu techniques that were originally somewhat obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became clear in her mind! Every joint and every muscle in her body seemed to have been given new life, filled with explosive power!
"This… this is…" Uchiha Rin felt the surging power within her body and the sudden clear understanding of Taijutsu moves, an incredulous expression appearing on her face. She tried to perform the Taijutsu combo that Akira had just taught her.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Fists whistled, and leg shadows whipped like whips! Her movements were many times smoother than before, and her strength and speed had increased by a whole level! Many difficult movements that were previously hard to achieve were now effortlessly performed as if by instinct!
[Ding! Uchiha Rin's potential activation successful!]
[Taijutsu talent greatly increased!]
[Chakra affinity slightly increased!]
[Overall physical fitness enhanced!]
The system's notification sound rang in Akira's mind. Akira activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan and carefully observed Uchiha Rin.
"What's going on? I feel… I feel like I've suddenly had an epiphany!" Uchiha Rin looked at her hands in surprise, then looked at Akira in confusion. "Captain, I…"
Akira's lips curved into a profound smile. "This is the result of your hard training," he said indifferently. "Your body is adapting to stronger power, and your talent is gradually being awakened. From today onwards, your training intensity will be even higher."
"Yes, Captain!" Although Rin didn't fully understand what had happened, she could feel that she had become stronger! And it was a leap in strength! All of this must be related to the Captain! Her trust and admiration for Uchiha Akira had now reached an unparalleled level.
Uchiha Tetsu and Uchiha Kai, who were nearby, also noticed Rin's change.
"Rin… Rin seems… to have suddenly become much stronger!" Uchiha Kai's mouth fell open, and he stammered a little.
Uchiha Tetsu pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses filled with shock and contemplation. The Taijutsu Rin had just displayed, whether in power, speed, or technique, was more than a level stronger than it was a few minutes ago. This incredible rate of progress was simply illogical.
Could it be… this was also the Captain's doing?
The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Akira, their eyes filled with longing. Akira looked at Uchiha Rin's refreshed attribute data on the system interface, his heart filled with excitement.
[Uchiha Rin (After Potential Activation)]
[Potential: 85 (Superior) (Original 75)]
[Loyalty: 100% (Absolute Devotion)]
[Strength Assessment: Chunin (Taijutsu Specialized Type)]
[Skills Mastered: Uchiha-style Taijutsu (Proficient), Advanced Power Exertion Technique (Mastered), Fire Release (Beginner)]
Her potential increased by 10 points! Her strength directly increased from the Chunin threshold to the level of a regular Chunin, and she was even a Taijutsu specialized type! This "Potential Activation" function was indeed heaven-defying!
This was just the beginning! The system's family cultivation function had officially been activated! Next, the Uchiha Clan would become stronger and stronger, completely escaping their fate of being annihilated, and perhaps, under his leadership, even becoming the strongest clan in the ninja world.
Akira's gaze swept over Uchiha Tetsu and Uchiha Kai, who were also full of longing for him. "As long as your loyalty can also reach 100%, you, too, can achieve this!" Akira thought to himself.
The future is promising.
