While Fugaku and the Great Elder deliberated on every detail, Arata could only sit by, bored, listening.
Just as Naruto Uzumaki, despite being the strongest in the ninja world, did not become Hokage immediately.
Kakashi served a few years to ensure Naruto was fully prepared in all aspects to become a qualified Hokage.
After Fugaku and the Great Elder finalized the roster, Arata could no longer restrain himself. He quickly took his leave, eager to focus on his own training.
Arata knew that in this world, strength was paramount.
Once one's power reached the level of a First Hokage or Uchiha Madara, everything else became trivial.
His main focus now was strengthening his body to meet the minimum standard required for the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
With his already exceptional mental strength, the increased ocular power from copying multiple Doujutsu, and his Yin chakra, he could easily complete the Mangekyō transformation.
Arata also knew there was an even simpler method to strengthen his body and accelerate the transformation to Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
That was to find Yamato and use the Copying Eye to learn his Wood Release.
As Konoha's only current Wood Release ninja, Yamato's Wood Release was incomplete,
but since it could counter Naruto's Nine-Tails, it still contained the essence of Hashirama Senju's body.
If Arata learned Yamato's Wood Release via the Copying Eye, he would gain a partial Sage Body.
While incomplete, it would enhance his physical constitution, improve vitality, and the Wood Release chakra would further facilitate the transformation of his Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō.
However, Arata had no intention of taking this shortcut.
Call it pride or stubbornness, but he wanted to achieve results through his own grueling training.
He sought to solidify his foundation and temper his will, ensuring he could go further.
After all, his recent strength gains had come too easily, risking overconfidence and complacency.
Arata did not go elsewhere. No place, no matter how hidden, was safer than his own space.
As the master of this space, he could sense if Uchiha Mikoto arrived via a spatial mark.
He chose a flat rock at the highest point of the island for training. From here, he could view the island's most beautiful scenery.
Training the Lightning Release Armor on the rock was ideal because the stone did not conduct electricity, allowing maximum stimulation of his cells by lightning chakra without worrying about loss.
Since obtaining the first stage of the Lightning Release Armor from the rogue ninja on the small island, Arata had never stopped refining his body with it.
The origin of the technique was later clarified through interrogating the small island ninja.
It came from the student of that ninja who had been killed by Arata.
The student secretly took it from home; having a rare innate lightning chakra, the father had once mentioned it to encourage the student to train diligently.
This secret technique for the Lightning Release Armor had been obtained unintentionally by the father on the battlefield.
The student showed it off secretly, giving the small island ninja an opportunity....an opportunity that Arata seized.
His family remained unaware that the technique had been taken, only assuming that a conflict led to the student's death.
When Arata returned to the village to report, he claimed the small island ninja was missing, possibly having gone to sea, thus failing the mission.
Arata arrived at the rock with ease, removed his shirt and shoes, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quietly circulated lightning chakra, converting it into fine currents to continuously stimulate his body.
This training required both talent and exceptional endurance.
Using constant electric stimulation to strengthen body cells was extremely painful.
Fine streams of electricity flashed across Arata's body with crackling sounds.
His muscles twitched and spasmed as sweat appeared on his face.
The pain required full concentration to accurately direct the currents to specific points.
As Uchiha Arata continued his intensive training, the electrical currents coursing through his body grew stronger and more concentrated.
His entire frame trembled violently under the stimulation.
From a distance, the dazzling arcs of lightning gave the impression that he was clad in a shimmering blue armor.
After two hours of relentless training, Arata finally ceased.
It wasn't that he lacked the will to continue; pushing further would risk serious injury to his body, and the cost would far outweigh the benefits.
