The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Ignoring Kaguya's personality, the fact that she was sealed away for a thousand years means that she would definitely not act rationally upon her release.

The Fourth Shinobi World War! It's a historic event, and I'll definitely be there to join in the fun!

What if they attack me?

Therefore, preventing Kaguya's resurrection is something Uchiha Kiyoshi will definitely do when the time comes.

Of course, if one's strength far surpasses Kaguya's at that time, then that's a different story.

"Alright, let's look at these things back at the base. Now let's go to the Earth and Stone Clone and retrieve the Lava Release chakra."

Although Tsuchishi managed to escape, they are still being pursued by Iwagakure.

Although they had many methods, the earth and stone were ultimately not strong enough, and inevitably left clues.

Therefore, it is still necessary for your own body to go and provide assistance.

Only by extricating Tsuchishi from this matter can he continue to exist in the ninja world.

Otherwise, if they get entangled with Iwagakure and even their earth and stone clones have to deal with Iwagakure's pursuit, how can they gather intelligence?

He used the Annihilation and Resurrection Technique on the secondary shadow clone of the earth and stone to inquire about its current location.

The earth and stone also responded quickly.

In the mountains surrounding Iwagakure Village, Tushi found a cave, set up an isolation barrier, and has remained hidden ever since.

......

Okay, it seems there's no problem with the soil and rocks.

You're overthinking it.

One day later.

Without attracting the attention of Iwagakure, Uchiha Kiyoshi found the cave where Tu Shi was hiding.

It was indeed very well hidden.

It took a whole day to find him, even though he had his own memories, and a lot of that time was wasted on avoiding the sight of the Iwa ninja.

"Lava Release Chakra".

The first thing Uchiha Kiyoshi did was reach out for Lava Release chakra.

"Here, this is magma created from Lava Release chakra. It hasn't been refined yet. I'll leave the refining to you. The refining process might be helpful for your research on Lava Release! That's why I haven't refined it for you."

I don't believe you for a second!

If you're lazy, just say so. Don't make excuses.

However, it's fine if it's not refined, at least we can study the magma.

Extracting the remaining chakra from the magma is indeed useless for studying Lava Release, but the magma itself is of great help to Uchiha Kiyoshi in his research on Lava Release.

After all, the molten form transforms into magma.

In both his lifetimes combined, Uchiha Kiyoshi had never seen magma with his own eyes!

Perhaps, seeing magma in person could greatly enhance one's understanding of it.

Should I take you away?

The earth and rocks didn't seem to be too uncomfortable here, and Uchiha Kiyoshi suspected that the other party wasn't in a hurry to leave.

"No.

I'll stay here for now. Although this operation failed, I've learned a lot about the situation in Iwagakure. I'll stay here and wait for them to relax their guard before I go back into Iwagakure. This time I won't come out; staying inside as an undercover agent will allow me to play a greater role.

Besides, haven't Konoha and the two clones from the Land of Rain been updated? They can report information to you now, so you won't miss me.

Although he thought what the other party said made a lot of sense, Uchiha Kiyoshi still suspected that Tsuchishi was trying to slack off.

Good grief, you're planning to sneak into Iwagakure.

If they get inside, it won't be like what happened to Maga; they'll definitely have to stay hidden forever!

"Sigh! Fine, I'll do as you say."

The Hidden Stone Village has quite a few powerful secret techniques, which might come in very handy in the future.

But I'm warning you, don't slack off when you get to Iwagakure.

Don't let me fall behind in my Earth Release training.

Tu Shi: Why does this feel like a teacher assigning homework?

After instructing his clone, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not linger and retreated from the Iwa ninja's encirclement.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't rush back to the base; he still had many things to do.

They set sail from the eastern coast of the Land of Earth, heading straight for the Land of Lightning.

The training of ninjas in walking on water is very effective. While practicing chakra control, it also trains them to walk and run on water.

Mastering this skill also meant that ninjas could move around on the sea without much difficulty, and could travel by walking on the water without needing to use a boat.

This trip to the Land of Lightning was a plan that Uchiha Kiyoshi had made a long time ago.

The Hidden Cloud Village, located in the Land of Lightning, specializes in Lightning Release and Taijutsu, and its mastery of Lightning Release is arguably the strongest in the entire ninja world.

Unlike the Hokage's Fire Release, the Mizukage's Water Release, and the Kazekage's Wind Release, who are not the strongest in their respective elemental attributes, the Raikage is undoubtedly the strongest in the entire ninja world when it comes to Lightning Release, and the difference is very obvious.

Without bloodline limits or combination ninjutsu, he became the pinnacle of the ninja world entirely through lightning release and taijutsu!

This is enough to demonstrate the Raikage's mastery of Lightning Release.

Of course, the sheer power of Lightning Release itself is also one of the reasons.

Uchiha Sei had not yet developed his Lightning Release, but that did not stop him from trying to acquire a powerful version of Lightning Release.

The ninjutsu I obtained from Madara Uchiha included a few lightning release techniques, but their levels and quantities were still too few.

One of the most important aspects of learning a Lightning Release technique is summarizing the corresponding micro-cycles. To master as many of these micro-cycles as possible, a large number of Lightning Release ninjutsu are needed for reference, including various Lightning Release techniques with diverse and unusual applications. However, the Lightning Release techniques of the Uchiha clan are primarily combat-oriented, which is far from sufficient for Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Therefore, we still need to make a trip to the Land of Lightning, which has the most Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's goal wasn't to steal ninjutsu from the Land of Lightning, nor was it to hunt down Cloud Ninja; rather, it was the black market of the Land of Lightning.

Not hunting Cloud Ninja means not actively seeking them out for hunting. But if they happen to encounter them, Uchiha Kiyoshi won't be polite.

The target of this operation is still the black market.

With so many wandering ninjas, where did they learn their ninjutsu?

It's naturally the black market.

There are ninjutsu scrolls available for exchange on the black market, but they are extremely expensive; a wandering ninja might only be able to afford one in his entire life.

But this doesn't mean there are fewer ninjutsu techniques on the black market.

On the contrary, there are many ninjutsu techniques available on the black market.

Although black markets exist throughout the ninja world, and each black market has a wide variety of ninjutsu, these ninjutsu still reflect the characteristics of their respective localities.

In the black market of the Land of Wind, most of the items are Wind Release techniques, while in the Land of Earth, they are Earth Release techniques.

The black market with the most Lightning Release techniques is naturally the black market in the Land of Lightning.

However, ninjutsu is too valuable, and even with Uchiha Kiyoshi's wealth, he couldn't afford too many. This is why Uchiha Kiyoshi needed to resort to some methods.

Steal? Robbery?

Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't do something like that. The black market has a powerful background, and stealing it directly would be too embarrassing. Not only would he be unable to come to the black market, but he would also likely be wanted by it.

What Uchiha Kiyoshi needs to do is obtain the ninjutsu he needs while avoiding provoking the black market as much as possible.

Chapter 150 Preparation

To obtain the ninjutsu he desired without alerting the black market was a true test of Uchiha Kiyoshi's abilities.

However, it is not impossible to complete.

No matter how powerful the black market is, the strongest person in charge of a branch will not exceed the Kage level, and there will be no more than one Kage-level expert.

It's not like Kiyoshi Uchiha couldn't conceal his abilities from a Kage-level being.

Back in Konoha, Orochimaru hadn't detected the Shadow Clone's original chakra, which meant that even against a Kage-level ace, his isolation barrier or Concealment Technique could still be effective.

If it were money stolen or robbed from the black market, Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't have done it.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi still intended to try and get free ninjutsu scrolls, since they could be used repeatedly.

If you don't take the other party's scroll, but only make a copy for yourself, if all goes well, the black market might not even notice.

"Yes, that works."

"It's not my fault. Who told you to have the most ninjutsu on the black market, and to be worse at defense than the ninja villages?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi used the Invisibility Technique, slightly loosening his stance to release a Chunin-level chakra aura. Then, he used the Transformation Technique to change his appearance, altering his body shape as well.

"First, determine the location where the ninjutsu will be stored."

The best way is naturally to go and make an exchange. This way, you can not only observe the storage of ninjutsu, but also get a glimpse of the guarding arrangements.

We cannot exchange for just one C-rank ninjutsu, to prevent them from separating their low- and high-rank ninjutsu.

"So, I also paid money."

The hardest part of planning is copying it quietly at the end; the rest isn't too difficult.

Uchiha Kiyoshi went straight into the black market, to the very center of the ninjutsu trading area.

"There are quite a lot of people."

There were quite a few people in the ninjutsu trading area. Some were genuinely there to buy and sell ninjutsu, while others were just browsing.

In this way, Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't seem so abrupt.

Upon entering an "official" shop, Uchiha Kiyoshi got straight to the point.

"Buy ninjutsu."

Upon hearing that Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to buy ninjutsu, the receptionist's eyes lit up, and he became very friendly, beginning to introduce the ninjutsu they possessed.

Hearing the other party's introduction, Uchiha Kiyoshi was truly shocked.
