Naruto: I'm Really Not an Evil Uchiha!

This time, it was the fastest death Shimizu had ever experienced.

Back when he first used the simulator, he managed to survive for nearly a year.

This time, he lasted just over two hundred days before dying—chased and suffocated to death.

"Can they stack? Byakugan and the meridian system?"

Shimizu looked at this round's rewards with slight surprise.

He had drawn duplicate items many times before, but this was the first time he had gotten a duplicate kekkei genkai.

Shimizu speculated that if he chose the Byakugan now, it would likely enhance the one he already had.

Just like the Sharingan had different levels, from single tomoe to three tomoe.

The Byakugan also had levels, referred to as purity. However, this purity didn't have transitional stages like the Sharingan's Mangekyou Sharingan.

If the purity was high enough, it became the Tenseigan. If it wasn't, it remained as the Byakugan.

"Just adding another Byakugan won't be enough."

In The Last movie, Toneri Otsutsuki had to gather a huge number of Byakugan to forge a pair of Tenseigan.

If Shimizu chose the Byakugan now, he wasn't sure how much the purity would increase, but he guessed it would be like a drop in the ocean.

"Looks like I'll have to choose the meridian system. I'll go with the meridian system."

The final option, moon soil, was directly dismissed by Shimizu.

What use did he have for moon soil? Was he planning to become a scientist?

[Meridian system (self) granted...]

As the voice faded, Shimizu felt as if his entire body was submerged in boiling lava.

Heat and pain.

His entire body felt like it was being scorched, as though the blood in his veins had turned to boiling water.

Shimizu's skin turned dark red, and steam-like mist radiated from his body.

As time passed, Shimizu could feel an obvious sensation of his body being restructured from the inside.

His meridian system was being lengthened, widened, and made more resilient and robust.

Chakra flowed through his body at a much faster rate. While the amount of chakra hadn't increased at all, Shimizu felt it was far easier to use than before.

After nearly an hour, the transformation stopped. His skin returned to its normal color, and the mist dispersed into the air.

Whoosh!

Shimizu raised his index finger, attempting to expel chakra through it.

A surge of pale blue chakra immediately appeared at his fingertip, blazing like a roaring flame.

"Chakra cloak?"

Shimizu raised an eyebrow.

All he had done was condense chakra at his fingertip to test its transmission speed and the meridian system's impact on his acupoints.

But the chakra easily attached itself to his fingertip, forming a protective layer like an outer shell.

Chakra cloaks were common in the shinobi world.

Susano'o, for example, could be considered a kind of chakra cloak projected outward to form a giant figure.

When Naruto used the Nine-Tails' chakra, the red aura that surrounded him during tailed beast transformation was also a chakra cloak.

The leaking chakra solidified into the shape of a demon fox to maintain a stable form.

"My chakra doesn't have much of a special use, though."

Under Shimizu's control, the chakra cloak around his fingertip gradually extended to cover his entire hand.

From afar, it looked like his hand was wrapped in blue flames, glowing faintly.

Susano'o could become sturdier, and tailed beast transformations could enhance attack power, defense, speed, and healing capabilities.

But his chakra didn't have any special attributes. Even if it wrapped around his body, its effect was almost identical to condensed chakra within. Why bother exposing it and alerting the enemy?

"Wait a second."

Shimizu's gaze sharpened. Ordinary chakra might not have any use, but what if he added chakra nature transformations?

The Lightning Chakra Mode, for example, relied on the nature of lightning to surround the user with electricity for attack and defense, enhancing speed and granting strong damage resistance.

If he applied this line of thinking to medical chakra, what would happen?

Would it allow his cells to rejuvenate, creating an effect similar to the Creation Rebirth Technique?

The Creation Rebirth Technique required the release of chakra stored in the Yin Seal to work, but Shimizu could activate and release his chakra in real time, avoiding the need to hoard massive amounts.

After all, no one knew how long it would take to accumulate enough chakra for one use of the technique with the Yin Seal.

What if he combined Lightning Chakra with medical chakra?

A dual-layered system—external durability and internal regeneration.

With defenses on the outside and healing on the inside, unless a vital spot was hit, even heavy damage wouldn't matter. The thought alone made Shimizu excited.

"If that works, I might have a breakthrough in my body refinement technique."

The Lightning Chakra Mode surely had an upper limit, as the human body could only handle so much chakra. That limitation was tied to the strength of one's meridian system.

When Sasuke used the Chidori in anger, the lightning tore at his skin and stripped it off.

But Shimizu's meridian system was twice as robust as an ordinary person's. Wouldn't that mean his body refinement limit was also doubled?

"I'll focus on studying the Fire Instant Movement first."

Shimizu shook his head. Recently, he had been sneaking around Kakashi to secretly learn the Hatake family's kenjutsu techniques.

He had also made progress in his study of Fire Instant Movement. The specific meridian routes provided great inspiration.

At this rate, he might be able to master the Fire Instant Movement technique a year ahead of schedule.

With his improved insight, his rate of learning had accelerated, allowing him to surpass the potential future outlined by the simulator.

A few days later.

At the Uchiha residence.

In a brightly lit living room, Fugaku frowned as he looked at Shimizu.

The night before, Fugaku had used his ocular powers to foresee a dark future for the Uchiha clan.

A man with unique eyes brought destruction, with Mikoto kneeling at his feet, sinking into despair.

The Uchiha clan and Konoha were left in ruins, the cries of men's fury and women's despair echoing throughout the chaos.

This vision left Fugaku with an intense sense of crisis. Both the Uchiha clan and Konoha seemed poised to face a great calamity.
