Chapter 14: The Fox Spirit
A massive fireball burst from his mouth, surrounded by intense flames, speeding forward, melting the ice that covered the ground and revealing the bare earth.
The polar bear felt the heat of the fireball before it reached him and quickly fled, fearing he would become a dish of roasted bear.
The polar bear escaped, and Tōshirō did not hurry to chase him.
Do not pursue weak enemies to avoid unexpected surprises.
The number of seals on the ground was enough to feed him for a long time.
The last time Tsunade mocked him for being an Uchiha and not knowing fire techniques, Kuzan searched through his grandmother's training notes and found a basic fire technique to train on.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
It is one of the most common Uchiha techniques, where any Uchiha clan member can use it well.
The principle is to form the seals quickly, then extract the chakra from within, store it in the throat, and then release it all at once.
It sounds simple, and it really is.
In any case, he followed the method of forming seals as described in the notes and managed to use it easily, almost burning down the house in the process.
The result might be due to continuous effort, but the decisive factor was probably his natural talent.
Tōshirō's greatest asset in this world is this exceptionally gifted body.
Compared to the people of this world, Tōshirō has the advantage of advanced knowledge, but his greatest advantage is his body, which gives him the upper hand.
If Tōshirō had reincarnated into an ordinary body, he wouldn't have been able to implement many of his subsequent plans.
In the previous world, the phrase "kings and nobles have no special blood" was acceptable, but in this world, it is a questionable statement.
Kings and nobles, do you have special blood?
This phrase indicates that there is something special in the lineage.
Children from families with inherited abilities are much stronger than ordinary ninja children, and the difference becomes clear when they grow up and can activate their genetic abilities, making it difficult for ordinary ninja to keep up.
For example, using ninja techniques isn't just about learning the seals and using chakra; there are complex principles, and the human body plays a major role in this.
People's bodies differ in their structure, and the flow of chakra during technique use varies from person to person. The more complex the technique, the more difficult it is to learn.
This is why different people find varying difficulty in learning the same technique. For one person, the technique might be extremely difficult, while for another, it's simple.
That's why Itachi Uchiha could learn the Great Fireball Technique just by watching it once.
The seals help in regulating the flow of chakra, and the Sharingan can see the simple chakra flow and mimic it.
But for a talented ninja, they can perform techniques easily without much regulation, just by clapping their hands.
Do you think that, Senju Hashirama?
A good body not only helps in performing techniques but also gives a significant advantage in developing them.
Developing techniques is like putting out a fire; you need a water hose and a faucet.
The faucet is the chakra, and the hose is the right method.
While an ordinary person needs many attempts to find the right method, a talented person has the right methods from the start.
Ordinary people have 10,000 hoses, and no single hose can reach the ignition point, so they need to find a hose of the same size that fits the faucet and connect it to the ignition point.
These talented ninja might only have a hundred hoses, but these hoses are long and thick, and they find the right hose and use it directly, and it fits perfectly.
The cost of trial and error alone creates a huge time difference; otherwise, how could Tobirama develop so many strange and powerful ninjutsu?
Intelligence?
It's not just because of intelligence, as the Nara clan is also intelligent, but they didn't develop distinctive techniques; they use the old shadow techniques.
Tōshirō, being an Uchiha, naturally possesses fire chakra, and when he activated the ice, which is a combination of wind and water, he gained three chakra natures, making him superior to most ninja.
Tōshirō collected his thoughts and launched a Great Fireball Technique at the seal's corpse, trying to cook it in the ice, as everything around him was non-combustible.
After a while, the corpse was fully roasted, ready to eat.
It is said that seal meat is rich in protein, and Tōshirō had never tried this meat before, so he decided to try it now.
Tōshirō tore off a piece of the roasted meat and ate it. It tasted good, but he expected to find himself in jail if he did this in his previous life.
While Tōshirō was enjoying his meal, he spotted something white passing quickly.
He narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "Well, I've eaten well, it's time to leave."
He stretched his body and stood up slowly, leaving the place.
After he left, a creature with white fur, two fluffy heads, erect ears, and jewel-like eyes appeared.
It was a white fox.
The fox made sure no one was around before licking its lips and quickly running toward the roasted seal.
This was its habit, following predators and waiting for them to leave leftovers to eat.
Its target was the bear, but after the bear fled, it changed its target to Tōshirō, hoping to find something to eat.
Because the roasted meat was delicious, the fox said, "What a wonderful taste. I must eat quickly before others come."
Due to being engrossed in eating, it didn't notice the person standing behind it and grabbing it.
When it saw the boy in front of it, it felt fear, as this was the person who launched the fireball that defeated the bear.
The fox screamed in fear, "Don't eat me, my meat is not good."
Tōshirō felt joy in finding a talking animal and said, "Don't worry, I don't like eating foxes. I want to ask you some questions, and then I'll let you go and give you the seal to eat."
"Really?" said the white fox with its beautiful eyes blinking, "As long as you don't eat everything, I can be your wife."
Tōshirō glanced with one eye, his gaze moving downwards, and based on the absence of wings and its soft voice, he assumed it was female.
But he wasn't hungry enough to take anything; he laughed, saying, "We'll see that after you turn into a human."
The fox tilted its head and said curiously, "Turn into a human?"
Tōshirō stopped joking and said, "Okay, I'll let you go now, but you have to answer my questions."
The fox nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Tōshirō released it and began asking his questions.
However, while thinking, he couldn't help but stroke its fur and found its texture much better than cats or dogs.
The fox didn't object; in fact, it seemed to enjoy it, as it usually cleaned its fur itself, and grooming it was annoying and required licking it with its tongue. Now that it had a tool to groom its fur, why not let it? This was much better.
The fox asked Tōshirō, "Why are you doing this?" but it didn't understand anything; why was this two-legged creature touching her for no reason? She used her short, strong claws to scratch her little head and asked this question.
Tōshirō answered, "This shows friendliness and means I trust you."
There was nothing wrong with what Tōshirō said; ordinary people pet cats and dogs, so what's the problem if it's this fox instead?
Don't think it's female and take a biased stance.
Otherwise, beware of being accused of gender and racial discrimination.
The white fox understood; it was about getting closer: 'Oh, so this means getting closer, then continue touching me.'
Indeed, some animals express closeness by licking each other's fur, 'If that's the case, don't just touch me from above, but touch me in other places too, like the lower abdomen.'
'The place is deep, and usually, my claws can't reach it,' explained the white fox in distress: 'Also, if it's about showing closeness, isn't it better to use tongues to lick each other?'
After saying that, the white fox extended its pink tongue and licked Tōshirō's fingers, as a sign of getting closer, hoping to get closer to Tōshirō in this way.
She thought this two-legged creature could breathe fire and was very strong, so if she stayed with him, she wouldn't go hungry anymore and wouldn't get bullied.
At that moment, her view of Tōshirō changed, and he seemed to her like a perpetual source of food.
Tōshirō felt the soft warmth spreading to his fingers, so he closed his eyes, nodded, and rubbed his eyes.
Maybe because he had been single for a long time, his eyes began to lose focus, and he started hallucinating, even seeing the female fox as unusually beautiful...
Tōshirō stopped petting the fox, as continuing might lead to more hallucinations.
'What? Why did you stop touching me?'
'I think that's enough.'
Void is color, and color is void; I am not King Zhou (a notorious king in Chinese history).
Tōshirō was reciting to himself.
'Okay.'
The fox lowered its head, a flash of disappointment passing through its eyes.
'My name is Tōshirō.' Tōshirō asked, 'What's your name?'
The fox lowered her head and said frankly, 'My name is Fairy Fox.'
Tōshirō: ...
