The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Chapter 177 The Troubles of Chakra

The development of Wood Release went more smoothly than Uchiha Kiyoshi had imagined.

The information on the interstitial cells, root data, and the ideas of Paper Release and Hikaru greatly accelerated the development of Wood Release.

"Perhaps the development of Wood Release will not be slower than that of Ice Release."

This speed is absolutely astonishing!

One bloodline limit per year—if other ninjas in the ninja world knew this, they would be utterly astonished.

The Third Hokage was probably in tears.

He was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu and had even mastered all elemental ninjutsu in Konoha. Even so, the Third Hokage still hadn't developed a bloodline limit. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. Wasn't a bloodline limit stronger than combination ninjutsu? If he could develop a bloodline limit, why would the Third Hokage bother researching combination ninjutsu?

This also shows how difficult it is to develop bloodline limits.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt extremely fortunate.

I am grateful that I began to study continuously when I started cultivating, and I am grateful that my years of accumulation have provided me with a wealth of theories.

Nothing comes from nothing. Without the previous accumulation and Uchiha Kiyoshi's continuous research and organization, Uchiha Kiyoshi could not have had such a wealth of theories, and the research and development of bloodline limits would not have been so smooth.

The most important point is that Uchiha Kiyoshi began his research before he first refined chakra.

At that time, Uchiha Kiyoshi deliberately delayed the time when he first refined chakra by half a month, and it wasn't without its benefits.

In the span of half a month, although Uchiha Kiyoshi did not have sufficient control over spiritual energy and did not conduct any substantial research, he took advantage of the fact that his body did not yet have a chakra seed and had not yet developed the ability to fuse chakra on its own. During this time, Uchiha Kiyoshi thoroughly understood spiritual energy.

It's important to know that after the first extraction of chakra, the body will form a seed-like ability. Afterward, as long as the extraction method is followed, one can directly fuse one's spiritual energy with physical energy. This process is spontaneous and difficult to control in the early stages.

Without that two-week learning process, Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't have had such a clear impression of spiritual energy, nor would he have been able to sense it within chakra. This would have made it impossible for him to master the Body Cultivation Technique, and everything that followed would have been meaningless.

Most of Uchiha Kiyoshi's theories are built on this foundation, especially his most important theory on the nature of spiritual energy, which forms the basis for most of Uchiha Kiyoshi's subsequent important theories.

Therefore, everything Uchiha Kiyoshi gained was the result of his own efforts.

"Wood Release, I'll be able to possess this legendary bloodline limit in just one year. Although I know it's impossible for it to have the same power as Hashirama Senju, I'm still very excited."

Ultimately, Wood Release still depends on chakra. Especially Hashirama Senju's ninjutsu, as long as it's Wood Release, even if it's a bloodline limit, it can be used. As long as there's enough chakra, you can use anything like Wood Human Technique, Wood Dragon Technique, and Advent of a World of Trees.

It might not be as powerful as Hashirama Senju's, but it's still enough. It can handle the first two phases of Susanoo.

Of course, all of this is based on having enough chakra.

"Ah, chakra."

Uchiha Kiyoshi was once again troubled by his chakra reserves.

This kind of thing actually stopped happening after Uchiha Kiyoshi reached the elite Jonin level, but now he has to worry about it again, which is really frustrating for him.

Sure enough, in the end, no matter how strong you are in your training, you still need chakra.

Breaking through from Kage level to Super Kage level might not require a specific amount of chakra, but you absolutely cannot break through if your chakra level is insufficient.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also gained some understanding.

The power of a Kage-level being is world-destroying, capable of altering the surrounding environment with ease, but their methods also require a large amount of chakra.

Let's not even mention Hashirama Senju, whose chakra was as abundant as the Nine-Tails'; Madara Uchiha was no less impressive, his Perfect Susanoo's massive size was entirely constructed from chakra, so how could his chakra be lacking? Tobirama Senju also possessed chakra far exceeding that of ordinary people; and then there's Mito Uzumaki, the Uzumaki clan goes without saying, their Sage Body was even stronger than the Senju clan's Sage Body in this aspect, not to mention that Mito Uzumaki was the most outstanding member of the Uzumaki clan.

"Chakra. I wouldn't dare to hope for chakra at the level of the Nine-Tails, but chakra at the level of the other tailed beasts is still necessary."

Well, here comes another research topic.

This discussion covers aspects related to chakra levels and how to increase chakra levels.

Life is tough, Uchiha sighed.

Although he hadn't started researching it yet, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew that Lightning Release was definitely a key element, so training in Lightning Release was essential.

Now, most of Uchiha Kiyoshi's ninjutsu training has been handed over to his clones. Maka is in charge of Wind Release, Tsuchishi is in charge of Earth Release, and Shin is in charge of Water Release. These are his main training methods. Maka also occasionally trains some Lightning Release and Earth Release, Tsuchishi occasionally trains some Fire Release, and Shin also trains Wind Release.

Uchiha Kiyoshi practiced almost all of the Five Elements Escape Techniques by creating clones, but there were still some deviations.

There are no dedicated clones for the Lightning Release and Fire Release techniques.

As for Lightning Release, since both the main body and the clones need to increase their chakra reserves, Uchiha Kiyoshi plans to have all the clones learn this technique, so that there is no need to assign a specific clone to specialize in it.

That leaves only Fire Release techniques.

Uchiha Kiyoshi only had one remaining clone.

"The Land of Rain is shrouded in rain all year round. Is it really suitable for a cloud clone to cultivate fire release techniques?"

This is the point that troubles Uchiha Kiyoshi the most.

Fire Release techniques are too easily countered in the Land of Rain. Although the influence of the environment can be greatly reduced when one has cultivated to a certain level, that is only in the late stages. Right now, Yun urgently needs to improve his strength. If you give him a Fire Release technique, he will probably curse himself to death in his heart.

"But there's nothing we can do about it..."

Besides, it's not like you can't practice Water Release; I'm just telling you to focus on Fire Release.

Moreover, my mastery of Fire Release is now sufficient; as long as you can absorb about seven or eight tenths of the environmental influence from the Land of Rain, it will be greatly reduced.”

As the attribute that Uchiha Kiyoshi first trained in, and also the attribute that he first acquired the most comprehensive ninjutsu from, Fire Release was naturally one of Uchiha Kiyoshi's most advanced attributes.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's greatest strengths were Fire Release and Earth Release. Tsuchishi was the main master of Earth Release and the secondary master of Fire Release. He was the strongest among Uchiha Kiyoshi's clones. Of course, now Tsuchishi has made both of these secondary masters secondary, while his main master is Lava Release.

Although it may be limited by the local environment, mastering Fire Release is indeed the fastest way to improve one's abilities in the Cloud Realm.

So, maybe, probably, the cloud has no reason to complain.

Moreover, training Fire Release techniques in the Land of Rain will undoubtedly result in more powerful Fire Release techniques, and once outside the Land of Rain, without the environmental constraints, the power of Fire Release techniques will increase dramatically.

This is also a method of cultivation.

By the way, the experiments on modifying the eyes should begin; Yun definitely needs to step up his game.

Although Yun's strength is still keeping up with the Akatsuki organization, the major changes in a few years will result in an explosive increase in strength. Nagato will have a direct breakthrough, and Konan and others may also break through in that battle. If Yun can't keep up with the progress then, it will be embarrassing.

After planning for over a decade, he finally managed to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization, but failing to even obtain a single ring would be too humiliating.

While I can't speak for other modifications to his eyes, the Sharingan's ability to perceive and resist genjutsu is absolutely guaranteed.

Of the Sharingan's three basic abilities—insight, copying, and genjutsu—Uchiha Kiyoshi understood the principles of insight and resistance to genjutsu the most clearly. He could completely achieve this by modifying the eye's structure; all he lacked was experimentation and experience.

With Yun's arrangements complete, Uchiha Kiyoshi once again turned his attention to Lightning Release.

Lightning Release is cultivated simultaneously by both the main body and the clone. To avoid repetition, it's essential to plan carefully and avoid the same direction of enlightenment. Of course, the same direction isn't necessarily bad; different levels of enlightenment will produce different effects, just like the difference between mastering one path and understanding all paths.

Several years ago, Uchiha Kiyoshi copied a large number of Lightning Release ninjutsu from the black market in the Land of Lightning. For the past three years, Uchiha Kiyoshi has only practiced Lightning Release as usual during normal times, and his level is not bad. He has not conducted any in-depth research on Lightning Release, and his gains in Lightning Release body tempering are also very few, limited to the effects of some ninjutsu.

This time, Uchiha Kiyoshi, once again stumped by the amount of chakra, finally turned his attention to lightning-style body tempering.

There were many stories about using lightning to temper the body in his previous life, so Uchiha Kiyoshi was naturally familiar with them.

Even in the ninja world, there are Lightning Release chakra modes, Chidori series, and other Lightning Release ninjutsu with body-refining effects.

That's right, the Chidori series of ninjutsu can indeed be used to train the body. After all, it involves lightning that comes into direct contact with the body, so Chidori must have a unique way of protecting the body.

Compared to lightning-style ninjutsu like Raiga, the fact that Chidori can reach rank A is not due to its apparent attack power.

Aside from the difficulty of training, the most important factor determining the level of a Lightning Release ninjutsu is not its power, but the means of protecting the body.

Compared to the other four attributes, lightning, with its inherent diffusion properties, places significantly higher demands on the body during its use. Not only are the physical requirements high, but the protective measures are also more stringent.

Concentrating lightning into a single point and then unleashing it is not difficult, nor is it unthinkable. However, the extreme compression of the lightning puts a far greater strain on the body than a ninja can bear. It can only be executed through special means of protection, and such protective measures are the most difficult aspect of the development of Chidori.

This method is constantly being improved, and only after this method is perfected can the difficulty of improving Chidori be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Sasuke's ability to develop a technique like Kirin is thanks to Kakashi.

"Wow, even the Kirin technique was built up by Kakashi in the early stages. Sasuke's overpowered abilities are truly remarkable."

Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't look down on this behavior; it's about standing on the shoulders of giants, so he wouldn't object to it.

"As for body training, Chidori is indeed quite effective, but Kakashi is too young right now. I can't wait until he develops Chidori before I start training my body, can I?"

In the original work, Uchiha Kiyoshi did manage to create the Rasengan ahead of time, but he abandoned the Chidori. Firstly, the original work did not describe the training method of Chidori in as much detail as the Rasengan. Secondly, Chidori was too technical, and developing it would be too wasteful of energy, which was not cost-effective for Uchiha Kiyoshi, who was eager to develop his bloodline limit at the time.

There was too much to explore in terms of technique, so Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to study it from the perspective of its nature.

By comprehending the unique properties of lightning, one can reduce the damage of lightning to the body and enhance the training effect.

"Anyway, it's not for fighting, so as long as it's effective for body tempering, that's enough."

Chapter 178 Magnet Release? Sand Release!

The training in Lightning Release was thus assigned by Uchiha Kiyoshi to himself and his clones.

Uchiha Kiyoshi originally thought that Maga would be the first to achieve results with Lightning Release.

It wasn't any other clone, nor was it his own original self. He still had a lot of work to do, but Maga was different. He had already started preparing to research Lightning Release.

Although their research directions may be different—one studies electromagnetism and the other studies lightning forging—the two are completely unrelated.

However, the developments on Maga's side were beyond Uchiha Kiyoshi's expectations.

It wasn't that Magna's research was flawed, but rather that his previous predictions about Magnetism had fundamental problems.

The problem lies at its root.

Sunagakure (Sand Village).

Maga had just finished his development work for the day and was walking on the streets of Sunagakure.

Although the Land of Wind is located in the desert, with more than 90% of its land being desert, there are still oases, and Sunagakure is built on one of the largest oases.

The environment in Sunagakure is quite good; there is no scene of yellow sand filling the sky or sandstorms from time to time as I had imagined.

While they don't possess Hashirama Senju's ability to create extensive greenery, the ninjas of Sunagakure are still skilled at controlling desertification, and the village's ecology is relatively normal. It just can't compare to Konoha; such an environment is only good in the Land of Wind. In the Land of Fire, any city here would be just as good.

Occasionally, a few green plants can be seen on the streets of Sunagakure. These are rare varieties that Sunagakure imported from outside, and the ninjas of Sunagakure have to put in a lot of effort to maintain them.

However, the impoverished Sunagakure did not waste the money. They issued these maintenance tasks as missions, well, D-rank missions. As for the mission rewards, they were naturally gold dust, in small quantities, but indeed a reward of equal value, which was relatively easy for the Kazekage to extract.

The Third Kazekage took it as a benefit given to the village's ninjas.

"Maja! I've finally found you!"

A loud shout broke the silence.

Rosa, Maga's adversary.
