Three weeks later, in the middle of the night at Ancor Vantian Training Room.
"Hahahaha… Huff… hahaha- cough-cough-… hahaha…" – While lying on the ground Tsukihi laughed uncontrollably amidst her breathlessness.
Chest rising and falling due to haggard breath, all her clothes, as well as her body drenched in sweat, large amounts of sweat dripping through her skin forming a puddle on the ground… but there was a clear joy as well as relief in her eyes…
It took a while, exactly three weeks, to figure it out, but finally, she figured out the basics of the Blaze Release… finally the first step to developing one of the most difficult Kekkei Genkai was successfully climbed.
The difficulty far exceeded her imagination.
The most difficult part was to keep her Susanoo open all the time, after all, continuously bearing pain in every cell of her for the past three weeks is no joke.
But it was all worth it, after all, she has finally touched the threshold of Blaze Release!
Now the stage at which she can use Blaze Release is still very basic and has a few requirements, one of them is that the Susanoo must be active.
Yeah, that's right, while using Blaze Release, she must have her Susanoo be active, which also has its own problems but let's not discuss them for now.
After calming down for a while, Tsukihi got up and wiped away the sweat, next she urged her eyes, and they soon changed into Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and activated the rib-cage Susanoo after taking a deep breath.
Next, she covered the rib cage with Golden Flames.
After the entire setup was done again, she started weaving Hand Signs, one seal at a time, the speed of weaving Hand Signs was very slow, as slow as weaving one seal per two seconds.
The reason for such slow weaving speed is because the fusion of Fire and Lightning Chakra is still foreign to Tsukihi, and it takes much focus and effort to be able to do so. The stability of two violent Nature has to be kept in check… since true fusion has yet to be attained so these things have to be taken care of. Otherwise, it will lead to an explosion.
And that's not the end of it, the Golden Flames on the Susanoo has to be used as a medium to guide the Nature fusion of Fire and Lightning, as well as Visual prowess has to be used during the entire process.
So, in short, a lot of processes and steps are to be taken before she can display Blaze Release.
When Tsukihi finally completed the seventeen seals for the required Jutsu, Tsukihi already had her hands covered in Golden Flames from Susanoo, then she put those hands over her mouth while taking a deep breath and then released, "Amenooshihomimi: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Instantly, golden fire spewed out from Tsukihi's mouth and took the shape of a dragon. The dragon hovered in the training room and illuminated the entire room in a golden glow, similar to daylight!
Tsukihi has decided to call these golden flames 'Amenooshihomimi', named after the first son of Amaterasu-Ōmikami.
The 'Amenooshihomimi: Dragon Fire Technique!' used by Tsukihi was developed using, 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!' as the parent Ninjutsu. The original Dragon Fire technique is C-class ninjutsu with four Hand Signs. But because 'Amenooshihomimi: Dragon Fire Technique!' involves so many steps, so it needs seventeen Hand Signs… However, Tsukihi does know that the number of Hand Signs, and their weaving time will be reduced in the future as she increases her mastery of this Kekkei Genkai.
But she is still too far from that. The fact that she needs to use not only the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as well as Susanoo to be able to use 'Blaze Release' alone shows that she is still at the basic stage.
"Hmm, compared to Uchiha Sasuke who was able to master Blaze Release so easily thanks to his Kagutsuchi, it will take a lot of time for me… sigh…" – muttered Tsukihi.
'But aside from practice, there is still something lacking that would improve my Fire and Lightning Nature fusion… is it visual prowess? Is it because my visual prowess is weak compared to Uchiha Sasuke?' – Tsukihi reached this conclusion after some speculations.
Regarding individual mastery of Fire Nature and Lightning Nature, Tsukihi feels that she is pretty apt, so there is no problem from that side, but when it comes to fusion, the guiding force, that is visual prowess seems to be not as strong as it should be.
When Uchiha Sasuke developed Blaze Release, he already had Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, aside from the fact that he had Kagutsuchi, the visual prowess of Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was obviously much superior compared to Tsukihi's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. This is because of two factors, one being that Sasuke used Itachi's eyes for Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan… Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan was way too powerful… so it is only natural that Sasuke's resulting Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would also be very-very powerful. Then the second reason was Indra's chakra.
The passive effect of Indra's Chakra also must have had quite a significant effect on Sasuke's dojutsu, thus increasing his ocular a lot.
Therefore, Tsukihi's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is obviously incomparable to Sasuke's.
'How to improve Visual prowess?' – thought Tsukihi.
The improvement of visual prowess is not so easy. It is done by either awakening a higher level of Dojutsu, or by a long-time accumulation, or by absorbing Rikudo Sennin's Chakra.
Uchiha Sasuke experienced two of the three methods, thus instantly increasing his visual prowess by leaps and bounds.
Apart from these three methods, no other method would work.
The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan Tsukihi has is already the highest level of dojutsu that the Yin-Chakra of Uchiha can give.
If she wants this pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve into a higher level of dojutsu, then Yang-Chakra of Senju must be brought to use, to awaken the Rinnegan.
The awakening of Rinnegan is not as simple as the fusion of Yin and Yang Chakra.
It must be known that Uchiha Madara transplanted Hashirama Cells into his body after the battle of the Valley of the End, but it was only decades later, at the time he was nearing his natural death did he manage to awaken the Rinnegan.
Having Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Yang Chakra of Senju Clan is only the lowest threshold necessary to awaken the Rinnegan… but this must not be confused into believing that having just these two is more than enough to awaken the Rinnegan.
