Uchiha Leaders Home – Family Dining Room
At the head of the table sits Tajima, the patriarch, silent, cold-faced, waiting for a storm. He had seen Madara and Izuna were angry because they did not get the Chakra Swords.
Across from him, Madara, arms folded, chin slightly down but eyes sharp like a blade that can slice at any minute. Beside him Izuna equally volatile, both looked up only to glare across the table where Leo was sitting.
Madara scoffs. Izuna slams his chopsticks down.
Izuna: "You gave chakra sabers to them but not to us. Do you even see us as brothers? We're not worthy? Or you think we are too young?"
Leo: Smiling faintly "Because you're my lovely brothers. I made something even more better."
With that said, He went to his room and returned after few mins caring two suit cases of same size. He gently placed it on the table. Clicks, the locks open and the lid is lifted.
Inside each box there was a sword in black velvet. Not glowing. Not humming. But gleaming
The hilts are short and clean. it had mini keychain of Uchiha crest tied to it, which Leo asked the best craftsmen in the clan to make. The blades are unbending, solid like they were never meant to be sheathed only used.
Leo: "Adamantium Sword, made from Adamantium a very rare metal. So rare that there are only three swords in this world, each for us three brothers. With this we will protect the glory of Uchiha clan"
Madara and Izuna both observe the Swords.
Leo: "They can even cut through chakra-metal and even the chakra Saber which I gave to the clan elders and father cannot match it."
Madara: "Giving the elders toys and giving us legacy. What are you thinking??."
Leo: " We are brothers...!!"
Tajima: "Three swords for three sons. May the world survive the balance."
Soon they started their dinner, Leo who was eating silently had made a few decisions after thinking all night. First, to save money and go for platinum spin and second, to start training for next 2 to 3 months without any distraction. For this, he had built Underground training base.
Leo: "Father, I've decided to train alone for next three months. No communication. No new inventions."
Izuna: Frowning "What kind of training?"
Leo: "I have thought of a new Fighting style for Uchiha. Will let you know once it is developed"
Tajima: "Then go. let me see how far you progress"
Madara: "You will still lose to me"
Underground training base
Day 10 of training
Many charred dummies we're pilled up sideways, the one in the center had half its torso blackened, Leo stood shirtless in the center of the underground training arena panting and sweaty. his adamantium blade held loose in one hand. His chest rose and fell, breaths uneven.
"Again," he shouted, His hand tightly gripping around the sword hilt. He took the stance and adjusted his breathing as described in the manual
"Breath of Fire – First form unknowing fire!"
He swung his sword. This time, the flame did appear but soon disappeared.
Leo: "Son of a— , what's the issue ?! Again"
Leo: "Seriously?! How the hell does this Fire Breathing work? bloody lottery system, can this be so hard? Maybe there is some issue with the manual system provided.
[Lottery System]: All system techniques are 100% genuine. Maybe the host is not smart enough to grasp them.
Leo closed his eyes. Took a breath slowly through his nose. and exhaled from his mouth. Cold air passed from his lips. His Devil Fruit powers always leaked when he was angry or sad.
This breath, A wisp of frost.
He opened his eyes, He saw the fading mist slip from his mouth. He didn't say anything. But a thought sprouted in his mind.
A shape of an idea forming inside the stillness of that moment.
Sitting in silence, Leo examines his devil fruit powers. He recalled all the instances where he used the Ice-Ice Fruit and how it felt.
He realizes that even if he was Uchiha and had fire elements, his control over Ice was much more natural and it was easy to use unlike fire, So he must stop forcing a fire as and instead, create his own breathing method.
Leo: ""I don't need to learn Breath of Fire. I need to forge my own breath."
Thus, the idea of a Breath of Ice was born.
Day by day, Leo buried himself into practice, trying to create his own breathing method, the "Breath of Ice". Through trial and sleepless nights, he boundlessly studied his Devil Fruit's powers and its limitations.
Day 30 of training
A Month had passed by and Leo was making progress. Slowly he got the gist of it. One can see frost on swords, walls and dummies, unlike before the training room temperature was not hot but cold due to multiple failed attempts.
He adapted sword form from breath of fire techniques but converted every breathing movement to suit his ice element.
each day the cold and attacks became more and more precise. Eventually, the shape of a true technique begins to form.
Day 51 of training
The chamber was silent. Not the silence of emptiness, but the kind that comes just before a storm
Leo stood in the center, His spine straight gaze fixed on target
He inhaled neither quickly nor forcefully.
Just deep and Slow.
"Breath of Ice – First Form…"
.
.
"Breath of Ice – First Form Frozen Fang!"
In a blink Leo appeared behind the dummy. Some part of his body were covered with ice cold wind exhaled from his mouth
crrRRAAACK
Ice bloomed from the cut which had appeared on dummy like flowering crystals. It split down the middle. From head to hip
The crack widened like spiderwebs and it shattered.
Leo exhaled. His sword slid back into the sheath with a click. When he opened his eyes they had turned into sharingan.
The only difference was that this time there were 3 tome rotating inside
Day 90 of training
Leo spent most of his time training chakra control, moon walk, swordsmanship and perfecting his Breath of Ice. Due to opening of 3 tome sharingan his chakra capacity increased sharply.
He finally decided to stop his training and go out to check how much money was accumulated and if it was enough for platinum draw.
While he was here many things were changing outside...
