The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

The marine environment is harsh, with numerous reefs, constant storms, and most of the marine life consists of giant, highly aggressive creatures.

If a merchant ship were to come by, it wouldn't be able to pass safely without a Jonin (high-ranking ninja) present.

Even having a high-ranking ninja in charge cannot guarantee the safety of the goods.

It's estimated that the coast of the Rainbow Country is similar, with constant storms and tsunamis.

Despite the Rainbow Country's large size, in terms of resources, it's probably less than half the size of the Wind Country.

Uchiha Kiyoshi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the black market didn't have any branches here.

"So, the environment here is really that bad? Wouldn't I be better off going to the Land of Snow?"

Unwilling to give up, Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to search again.

Such a large sea area can't possibly lack a place with a decent environment, right?

After wandering around for two days, Uchiha Kiyoshi finally found a decent island on the edge of this sea area.

The location is at the center of the circular sea area in the lower right corner of the map.

The island is not large, about the size of a third-tier city, but it is at a high altitude, so there is no need to worry about it being flooded by a tsunami.

"After going around twice, this island is the only one that's not bad, and the surrounding environment is relatively good."

It's not as surrounded by the two large islands of the Rainbow Country as I imagined; it's actually quite close to the Land of Fire.

After touring the entire island, Uchiha Kiyoshi was fairly satisfied.

There are living organisms.

That's the best part.

Just as he turned around, Uchiha Kiyoshi saw about ten wild beasts and some vegetation.

Based on his observations of the surrounding waters, there were quite a few fish in the area. Although they were large and aggressive, they were no problem for Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Can eat!

"It's up to you!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi began to carefully survey the island's terrain and found a flat area.

"The soil here is relatively solid, so houses, laboratories, and the like were built here."

Hands form a mudra.

"Earth Escape Technique: The Grand Villa Technique"

ahem...

The name is a bit exaggerated.

Uchiha Sei's mastery of chakra transformation techniques was still insufficient, resulting in items that didn't last long. Therefore, he chose natural rocks and soil.

A "villa" suddenly appeared.

Due to a lack of control, Uchiha Kiyoya only managed to build a small two-story building.

The upper floor contains a study and a bedroom, while the lower floor has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout.

There was also a large courtyard, but it was pretty useless since the entire island belonged to Uchiha Kiyoshi; it could be considered Uchiha Kiyoshi's backyard.

The soil that makes up the house is exceptionally solid due to the nature transformation of Uchiha Kiyoshi, so there's no need to worry about it suddenly collapsing one day while you're living there.

Upon arriving on the first floor of the house, Uchiha Kiyoshi once again used Earth Release to dig a basement, which he would use as a laboratory for his future research.

At the same time, Uchiha Kiyoshi also altered the structure of the nearby ground using nature transformation.

"This is fine as it is, there's no need to make it so fancy."

How can we, as cultivators, be attached to superficial luxury?

Having settled his "home," Uchiha Kiyoshi once again set his sights on the entire island.

As their base of operations, this small island must not be allowed to be discovered by others in the future.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get here given the harsh conditions at sea. The main concern is ninjas.

There are very few ninjas passing by here, and as long as you don't attract their attention, no one will come to check.

However, I will inevitably have to develop some ninjutsu in the future, and large-scale ninjutsu at that.

The chakra reaction at that time will definitely be very strong.

"So we need to create a barrier to block out the aura of chakra."

Uchiha Kiyoshi made a decision quickly.

Four shadow clones were created, each heading to one of the four corners of the island.

Each of them began to inscribe the sealing technique.

Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to set up a protective array around the entire island.

He used the same barrier he always used to isolate his aura.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had studied this sealing barrier quite thoroughly, and turning it into an array was not a problem; it's just that the range of this array was a bit too large.

"It seems we need to try adding some enhancement combinations to some nodes of the formation."

Having a large array range also has its advantages, namely, it provides more space for inscribing spells, which directly reduces the difficulty of inscribing them.

Before graduating from the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Kiyoshi only knew basic sealing techniques and a few simple combinations of techniques. He didn't know any more advanced combinations of techniques, so he had a relatively in-depth understanding of the superposition of combinations.

This proved useful at this time.

If there's no difficulty in depicting the details, then many of the additional difficulties decrease.

First, a framework for an overall isolation barrier is constructed.

Then, Uchiha Kiyoshi repeatedly stacked and added the techniques from the nodes that were functioning within these frameworks to create a stronger combination.

Finally, all the nodes are connected.

The project was quite large. Uchiha Kiyoshi was in charge of depicting the sealing technique at the core, while four shadow clones were responsible for depicting one of the directions.

And so, Uchiha Kiyoshi's chakra was depleted and replenished, time and time again, and his shadow clones were replaced several times.

After two days, the formation was finally completed.

This was Uchiha Kiyoshi's first attempt at setting up such a large-scale formation, and he didn't know if his method would work.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi eagerly manipulated the various nodes of the formation, connecting them completely.

With Uchiha Kiyoshi's control, the chakra within the nodes of the formation began to circulate, and after completing a full cycle, the formation was activated.

Each node has a pre-stored chakra to facilitate connection at this time.

Once the first cycle is complete, there is no need to store additional chakra. Uchiha Kiyoshi only needs to input chakra at the core node he controls.

But is this chakra consumption for real?

One lag per second!

Uchiha Kiyoshi's entire chakra was only enough for the formation to operate for two hours.

"At least the formation is quite effective, even better than the barrier I cast myself."

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi could only console himself with the effects of the formation.

"Take some time to visit other villages and see how they set up their formations."

I refuse to believe that their formations can operate solely by ninjas inputting chakra.

"This is just a formation to isolate auras, and it's already consuming so much chakra. The formations in those ninja villages have everything from offense to defense; they can't possibly rely on ninjas' chakra to operate, can they?"

Previously, Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't done much research on formations. After all, formations were generally only used in large-scale joint operations or by ninja villages. Uchiha Kiyoshi had never thought that he would need to set up formations for his base.

Moreover, the formation used in the joint operation was also learned by Uchiha Kiyoshi, and it required chakra to support it.

I just don't know how the energy source for the "village protection formation" was obtained.

Chapter 132 Action

"If I have time, I should visit some ninja villages."

Or, could you just ask Orochimaru for it?

Yes, but not now.

I don't have any leverage right now.

"But no matter which method you use, it's not something that can be solved in a short time."

Uchiha Kiyoshi put away the formation and began to think about how to solve the problem.

I can't keep transferring chakra here forever, can I?

Will you continue cultivating or not?

Moreover, it seems best to keep the formation active throughout, otherwise the chakra will still spread, even if no one can feel it at the time of the chakra burst.

"Hey, we can only narrow down the area for now. Let's cover the area where the house is located with the barrier first."

Hehe, the yard was definitely worth it...

And so, Uchiha Kiyoshi began his busy work once again.

This time, the decorations were only set up around my own home, and it was completed in just half a day.

Furthermore, Uchiha Kiyoshi added a chakra storage device to it.

It's actually just a massive sealing technique that seals away a large amount of chakra, leaving an opening for the formation to supply energy.

With the reduced range and the absence of so many enhanced and layered techniques, the chakra consumption is greatly reduced, to about one-twentieth of the entire island formation.

Yes, half of Uchiha Kiyoshi's total chakra could sustain the formation's operation for a day.

Whew~

It's acceptable, though.

Indeed, for Uchiha Kiyoshi, chakra recovery was just a process, unlike other ninjas who had a daily limit on the amount of chakra they could refine.

Uchiha Kiyoshi only has a limited upper limit to his chakra; his body has a limit to the amount of chakra it can hold. However, he doesn't have much of a problem with recovery.
