Naruto: I Can Reach the Full Level with One Click

"Sun and Moon Phantom Slash!"

Moonlight Hayate roared, his grip tightening around his sword, his chakra surging through the blade.

With a swift turn, he charged straight at Uchiha Qin Yu!

As his attack was unleashed, shimmering light and shadow interwove, creating an illusionary afterimage across the battlefield, exuding an oppressive aura.

"Sun and Moon Blood Pursuit!"

Qin Yu remained unfazed. The Sun and Moon Phantom Slash blurred the line between reality and illusion, a technique meant to deceive the opponent's senses. The only way to counter it was to strike at its core.

The moment chakra filled his blade, a brilliant flash erupted. In the blink of an eye, he divided into multiple identical afterimages, weaving between the moonlit strikes.

With a single slash, his sword transformed into a crescent-shaped arc of chakra, slicing toward the shifting shadows above.

Bang!

The two attacks collided with immense force, sending shockwaves rippling outward. Moonlight Hayate stumbled back under the impact.

Watching from the sidelines, Moonlight Night was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

"Father, he really executed the Three Days' Moon Dance…" Moonlight Blast exclaimed in shock.

"Idiot! As a member of the Moonlight Clan, can't you recognize our own kenjutsu?" Moonlight Night scolded. "You must train harder when we return. Otherwise, we will disgrace our clan's name!"

"It's fine. I'm leaving." Qin Yu casually discarded the broken branch in his hand.

The previous skirmish was merely a test.

To truly perform the Three Days' Moon Dance at its peak, a proper chakra-infused sword was essential.

Only with a highly conductive chakra blade could one refine chakra control, enhance cohesion, and apply elemental transformations to amplify power.

In the world of shinobi, the Land of Iron stood out.

Unlike traditional ninjas, its warriors—samurai—did not use ninjutsu but instead channeled chakra into their swords to refine their cutting techniques.

Among them, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, had reached a level comparable to the Five Kage.

However, due to the ongoing shinobi wars, many samurai had been driven to extinction.

As the major villages vied for supremacy, the Land of Iron remained neutral, causing the number of true master swordsmen to dwindle.

"You two should return. I want to train the wind technique further," Moonlight Night instructed, watching Qin Yu intently.

Qin Yu's potential had far exceeded his expectations.

Whether or not he had mastered the secrets of the Three Days' Moon Dance, his ability to adapt and learn at an astonishing rate was undeniable.

At that moment, Moonlight Night understood why Minato Namikaze, Shizune, and others placed their trust in Qin Yu—even willing to defy Danzo Shimura to shield him.

"Moonlight, are you all right?" Minato suddenly appeared beside them.

Startled, Moonlight Night quickly regained his composure. "Minato, I'm fine. We were just exchanging techniques."

"Father, was that really just a friendly exchange? You actually taught him the Three Days' Moon Dance…" Moonlight Blast muttered.

His reaction was understandable.

Mastering the Three Days' Moon Dance was an achievement rare even among the Moonlight Clan.

Moonlight Blast himself was among the most talented users of the technique and was considered a prodigy.

Yet, Qin Yu, a complete outsider, had seemingly grasped it in mere moments, threatening his so-called genius status.

"Silence!" Moonlight Night shot him a glare.

Minato chuckled. "Senior Moonlight, don't be too harsh on him. You took a gamble, but it wasn't a wrong decision."

Moonlight Night hesitated. "Minato, do you believe Uchiha Qin Yu will achieve great success in the future?"

"No, I don't think so." Minato shook his head.

Moonlight Night was momentarily stunned, fearing he had misjudged Qin Yu's potential. But before he could react, Minato continued.

"I don't think he has shown his true strength yet."

"What are you saying?" Moonlight Night was taken aback.

According to intelligence, Uchiha Qin Yu had single-handedly defeated elite forces from Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

He even fought and repelled the famed AB Duo—A, the future Fourth Raikage, and Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki—earning their grudging respect.

That was a feat that few could accomplish.

Yet Minato was implying that Qin Yu hadn't even exerted himself fully…

The sheer disparity was staggering.

"I only hope Danzo doesn't make any foolish moves," Minato said quietly. "Otherwise, he might create an enemy far beyond our control."

At dawn, Qin Yu and his three-man team departed from the stronghold.

Since Shizune was the only medical-nin stationed there, she had to remain behind.

Fortunately, with Moonlight Night—one of Konoha's elite jōnin—leading the reinforcements, the stronghold's defenses had significantly improved.

In case of emergency, Minato, with his Flying Thunder God Technique, could provide immediate support.

Originally, Yugao Uzuki had also planned to stay and assist her father, Cangwu Uzuki.

However, Cangwu had his own hidden motives.

Not only had he lost a bet, but he had also recognized Qin Yu's immense potential.

The Uzuki Clan held a relatively low status in Konoha.

If, in the future, Qin Yu truly rose to power, his influence could elevate the Uzuki Clan along with him.

As Qin Yu's potential bride, Yugao Uzuki's standing would naturally soar as well.

Even in a worst-case scenario, Qin Yu's unparalleled combat skills and fierce loyalty to those close to him were evident from his recent battles.

If she became his wife, she would never suffer mistreatment or scorn.

This mindset had spread among the stronghold's residents.

Some shinobi with daughters had even joked about offering their daughters' hands in marriage to Qin Yu.

Last night, someone had nearly knocked on Qin Yu's door.

Thus, at the first light of dawn, Qin Yu hastily packed his things and left early.

When Uzuki Cangwu bid them farewell, he gave Qin Yu a knowing look—a silent encouragement for things to develop naturally between him and Yugao.

His expression made Qin Yu feel exasperated. The people in the *Naruto* world were certainly precocious when it came to such matters.

Though, looking at the twelve- or thirteen-year-old Yugao Uzuki, it was clear she had already grown into a striking young kunoichi.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office…

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened as he glanced at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

"Danzo went against our agreement," he muttered. "He issued an order in secret, commanding Yamanaka Ryo to challenge Uchiha Qin Yu."

"Hiruzen, did you receive Minato's report?" Mitokado asked in a grave tone. "What happened?"

"Yamanaka Ryo is Danzo's personal operative. His strength is at the level of an elite jōnin, and he specializes in mind-controlling techniques. Did Qin Yu suffer a loss?"

For the first time in a while, Koharu Utatane smiled faintly. "That boy hides his true strength too well. If he loses here, it might not be a bad thing."
