The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

It's the scene where the Third Hokage is preaching the Will of Fire on stage, and a group of elementary school students are admiring him from below.

Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't feign such an expression of admiration, but he still managed to look like he was "listening and thinking carefully."

On the stage, the Third Hokage occasionally observed the reactions below, and seeing the admiring eyes of so many children, he was very satisfied.

At the same time, they also noticed Uchiha Kiyoshi.

However, seeing how attentively the other party listened, and how he occasionally nodded in agreement, the Third Hokage was satisfied.

Tsunade was also observing Uchiha Kiyoshi from the side, but she didn't find anything special about him, so she stopped paying attention after a while.

As for Rope Tree? His eyes were already shining, and he couldn't wait to shout.

……

Speeches are boring; even the most passionate speeches become boring after a while.

Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, the Third Hokage reluctantly ended his speech.

Chapter Thirteen: The Three Bodies Technique

After the opening ceremony, the students were taken back by their respective teachers.

According to the rules, the next step was for each class to introduce themselves.

Kiyoshi Uchiha was pulled back to the classroom by Nawaki once again, and Kiyoshi could only endure Nawaki's enthusiasm.

However, while Nawaki's personality is endearing, where is this? The ninja world, where brutal wars are always a possibility, a world that cannibalize people.

A tree with a personality like Rope Tree would have a hard time surviving.

Of course, he was lucky; he was reincarnated as the eldest son of the Thousand Hands clan.

Even so, his careless and careless nature always posed a fatal threat to him. In the original work, accidentally falling into a pit of explosive tags is a good example.

Perhaps the Konoha leadership had ulterior motives towards him, but this accident was not man-made, and the Konoha leadership was innocently caught in the crossfire.

Back in class, Uchiha Kiyoshi took out his book again and started reading.

Although Nawaki kept asking why, it didn't stop Uchiha Kiyo from reading. Isn't multitasking a basic skill?

It's not really multitasking; it's just simple attention spanning. You can hear the sound of Rope Tree while reading.

Anyway, the questions that Rope Tree asked weren't difficult at all, and you could answer them without much thought.

After all the students were in place, about half an hour later, the teacher finally arrived.

It was the teacher who just came to inform us about the opening ceremony.

"Hello everyone, from now on I will be teaching you theoretical knowledge, and I will also be responsible for the management of our class (i.e., the homeroom teacher)."

The middle-aged ninja first stated his position, and then began his self-introduction.

"My name is Naoki Uemura. I love growing flowers and my dream is to become an excellent teacher. Please take care of me in the future."

With that, Naoki Uemura bowed.

"Stand up straight again," Naoki Uemura continued.

"Alright, as is customary, we need to get to know each other a bit."

I noticed that everyone had already started getting to know each other, but let's all introduce ourselves now.

Just like I did earlier, tell me your name, hobbies, and dreams. Of course, you can also add what you're good at.

Seeing that the crowd below wasn't very enthusiastic, Naoki Uemura wasn't embarrassed at all. He used his teacher's special skill to call on students directly.

"Let's start with this student, and then each student will introduce themselves in turn."

Naoki Uemura pointed at Tao Uchiha and said.

Uchiha Tao stood up and introduced himself.

"My name is Uchiha Tao. I come from the Uchiha clan. I love training and my dream is to become a powerful ninja."

"That's a good ideal. And it's very well-structured. The students in the future should follow suit."

Naoki Uemura gave Uchiha Tao a thumbs up and then gestured for the next student to introduce himself.

"My name is Ken Osawa. My hobby is drawing, and my dream is to become a painter."

"My name is Tomoaki Mano. My hobby is reading, and my dream is to write my own novel and have many people read it."

……

Next came a variety of descriptions, some saying they liked to sleep, others saying they liked to eat. In short, Uchiha Kiyoshi could only complain. Indeed, there were only things he couldn't have imagined.

When it was Uchiha Kiyoshi's turn, he calmly stood up and delivered his prepared speech.

"My name is Uchiha Kiyoshi. My hobby is training, and my dream is to keep living! Hmm! That's all."

After saying that, Uchiha Kiyoshi sat down.

Naoki Uemura also had a headache after hearing this. The reason he was half an hour late was because the Hokage had called him over and told him that there were a few problem students in his class and that he should pay more attention to them.

As expected, Uchiha Kiyoshi's problems are quite significant.

Cultivation, that's a good hobby. But, are you serious about surviving? I might not have noticed before, but even the Hokage said so, and sure enough, judging from his tone and emotions, he's afraid of death, no doubt about it.

However, before Uemura Naoki could catch his breath, Nawaki stood up and shouted out his introduction.

"My name is Nawaki, my hobby is training (can't think of anything else), and my dream is to become Hokage."

As he spoke, Nawaki struck a pose, and shouted very loudly when he finally declared himself Hokage.

Naoki Uemura was exhausted again. Dreaming of becoming Hokage is fine, many people do that, but do you have to be so loud about it? Also, stop stomping on the table. And what's with all the excitement? You haven't even become Hokage yet!

Sure enough, there was a problem student, definitely suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

……

"Alright, everyone has finished introducing themselves, and I believe you all have a basic understanding of each other."

That's all for today. There are no classes scheduled for this afternoon, so everyone can go home now. Just remember to be on time for school tomorrow.

Oh! By the way, to assess everyone's level, I'll be giving you a simple test during the first period tomorrow.

After finishing his speech, Naoki Uemura turned and left. He needed to go back and organize the information about this year's students, as he had listened attentively to the introductions.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was stunned to hear that they were given a day off. Was it really that casual? Half a day of classes and then going home? What kind of operation was this?

So, the lunchbox I specially brought is useless now?

Soon, Uchiha Kiyoshi realized that not attending class wasn't a big deal; he could use the extra time to do other things.

Hmm! Let's practice the Three Bodies Technique.

Although I haven't been focusing on refining my chakra, my chakra reserves are still increasing rapidly.

During the special training, you should be able to use the Three Bodies Technique.

Until now, I haven't formally trained in any proper ninjutsu! This is a good opportunity to try it out and also test my hand seal research to see if it's effective, or rather, how effective it is.

After saying goodbye to Nawaki and returning home, Uchiha Kiyoshi took out his bento and ate it in the kitchen.

After eating and drinking his fill, Uchiha Kiyoshi ran upstairs and found his father's training notes, which contained the training method for the Three Body Technique.

Uchiha Kiyoshi flipped through his notebook, found the section on cultivating the Three Bodies Technique, and began to study it.

Looking at the notes in his hand, Uchiha Kiyoshi was gradually understanding the training method of the Three Bodies Technique.

The Three-Body Technique is a general term for the techniques of transformation, doppelganger, and substitution.

Transformation is a means of change; it alters only the appearance and does not change anything such as quality.

However, the transformation technique is still very useful and is widely used in many ninja missions. Even with some countermeasures, such as the Byakugan, which can detect the opponent's transformation, it only tells you that a transformation technique has been used; it doesn't reveal the true form.

In short, the transformation technique is still very useful, and it is indeed one of the three essential ninjutsu for ninjas.

Then there's the Shadow Clone Technique. To put it simply, this ninjutsu is about using chakra to create a clone. The clone doesn't have any power or physical form; it's somewhat similar to the afterimage left by the Afterimage Fist in Dragon Ball.

However, despite its many drawbacks, it can be quite useful if used properly. In the original work, Uchiha Shisui used a combination of Body Flicker Technique and Shadow Clone Technique to create afterimages, confusing his opponents and establishing his reputation as the Body Flicker Technique Shisui.

Finally, there's the Substitution Jutsu, which Uchiha Kiyoshi was most looking forward to. A legendary technique from the original work! It involves preparing in advance, placing a ninjutsu on an object, and then activating it to swap the positions of the user and the substitute.

That's right! It's not some kind of trick; it was actually accomplished through a swap.

However, the following explanation greatly disappointed Uchiha Kiyoshi: the technique's effective range was only three meters, or even less. A Chunin's entire chakra reserves might not be enough to complete a replacement within six or seven meters, and the chakra consumed increased exponentially with distance.

This shows how useless this ninjutsu is.

However, the Substitution Jutsu, if used properly, can still be incredibly effective, but that requires considerable scheming. Unfortunately, Uchiha Kiyoshi wasn't good at this kind of intrigue. Large-scale battles were manageable, but calculating so much for a single fight was beyond his capabilities.

Furthermore, there's the matter of choosing a replacement. First, it must be of good quality, and second, it must be able to store chakra, or at least hold it for a short period. Therefore, specially treated wooden stakes with a slight degree of activity are generally chosen.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi still held high hopes for the Substitution Jutsu. After all, it was a space-time ninjutsu; perhaps he could improve upon it!

Moreover, we don't need to increase the size; simply changing the three-meter range to ten meters is enough.

After studying the principles of the Three Bodies Technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not immediately begin learning it. Instead, he carefully examined the training experience in his father's notes.

Soon after watching, Uchiha Kiyoshi prepared to practice.

Of the three ninjutsu, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not directly train the Substitution Jutsu, which he was most looking forward to, but instead trained the Transformation Jutsu, which consumed the least amount of chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi formed a hand seal and then circulated his chakra throughout his body, starting from his lower abdomen, moving to his shoulders, and then back to his lower abdomen.

"So, this cycle is what grants the ability to transform chakra?"

After this process.

"boom!"

Nothing has changed.

The first time, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't control the timing well, and the whole process took four seconds.

Uchiha Kiyoshi formed hand seals again, controlling the flow of chakra.

"boom!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi was transformed into a shape with a large head and a small body.

"It's a success, but the shaping isn't quite right. Let's try again."

"boom!"
