The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

While Minato Namikaze returned home to prepare, the other members of the mission also received a notification from the Hokage.

"Going to the border on a mission?"

After seeing off the ANBU ninja who came to deliver the message, Hui fell into deep thought.

"His companions included Minato Namikaze, Hizashi Hyuga, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Basically, all the new generation of geniuses from Konoha have gathered together."

"Oh, no, Fugaku wasn't included, I don't know why."

Regardless of the reason, one thing is certain.

"The Third Hokage is already considering paving the way for Minato Namikaze."

What does this mean? Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the Third Hokage's reasons for making this arrangement.

What made the Third Hokage determined to train Minato Namikaze?

The sudden White Fang incident resulted in the loss of a Kage-level powerhouse? Not likely, and the Third Hokage wouldn't lose his composure because of it.

"Then, it's most likely that the reason is Minato Namikaze."

Flying Thunder God Technique!

This thought suddenly popped into Hui's mind.

That's right. Flying Thunder God.

Minato Namikaze should have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique by this time; even a basic grasp of it can be considered mastery.

After all, three years have passed since I determined that Minato Namikaze obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Flying Thunder God Technique! I was fortunate enough to witness Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique during this mission, making the trip worthwhile.

For the past two years, the main body has been researching Wood Release and eye modification, and only recently has it begun to study the Flying Thunder God technique obtained from Orochimaru.

Perhaps this operation will yield unexpected results.

For some reason, Hui felt a sense of anticipation for this mission.

Meanwhile, in the mountains surrounding Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) in the Land of Earth.

Tu Shi Gang shared memories with the original body and learned about what happened on Hui's side.

"Minato Namikaze? He's mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Friction with Kumogakure.

So it's likely that it will collide with the AB combination?

It looks pretty good.

At this moment, even Tu Shi, who hadn't worked on anything for two years, felt a bit itchy to get his hands dirty.

Perhaps we could try their methods.

Thinking of his improved Lava Release Gundam Mode over the past two years, Tsuchishi's lips curled into a smile.

My name, Tsuchishi, shall once again resound throughout the ninja world.

Chapter 181 Kakuzu

"Hehe, we'll talk about the Iwagakure matter when we get back. It's about time I got my hands on the Light, Heavy, and Rock techniques..."

Looking back in the direction of Iwagakure, Tsuchishi silently said to himself.

I haven't been doing nothing here.

"Earth Element Technique"

Combining the techniques of rock concealment with the long-term refinement of earth and stone, the technique of earth movement has been developed to its extreme. Even when moving underground, the speed is no worse than that of moving on the ground.

Of course, this is under the premise that earth and rocks do not need to be propelled or moved by teleportation techniques to travel.

Using earth-moving techniques, they left the area of ​​Iwagakure Village, and earth and rocks emerged from underground.

After determining the direction, he activated his foot-propelling technique and headed towards the Land of Lightning.

At this time, there was no obvious moisture generated under the soil and rocks.

During the development of Ice Release, the user's understanding of the structural changes of water has reached a new level. Although the user has not yet mastered the means to change the structure to directly vaporize water, it is not a problem to simply maintain the gaseous state of water vapor from liquefaction for a short period of time.

As long as water vapor does not liquefy, it will not produce so-called water vapor or fog.

The external characteristics of the technique of pushing forward have also been concealed.

Of course, this is also because Tu Shi is in a hurry to get somewhere. If he wanted to use the propulsion technique to fight to the maximum extent, this method would definitely not be usable.

This time, the name of Tushi will resound throughout the ninja world.

This is something that Tushi firmly believes in.

Thinking about his achievements over the past two years, Tu Shi's confidence has become even stronger.

The border of the Land of Earth.

The earth and rocks that were on their way suddenly stopped, scanned their surroundings, and assumed a fighting stance.

Inside the sealed space, Earthstone No. 1 had already activated its Sharingan, observing the surrounding environment in an attempt to find the enemy.

"found it!"

"Earth Escape - Earthquake Core"

Originally, the Earthquake Technique was more complete and more powerful than the Earthquake Core, but at this point, the Earthquake Core is sufficient.

Fifty meters to the right of the earth and rocks, the ground suddenly rose up, revealing the face of a ninja.

He wore a black mask, had green pupils and red under-eyes, a white hood, and a tattered headband unique to rogue ninjas.

"Kakuzu?"

Tu Shi narrowed his eyes, surprised to run into an acquaintance here.

Kakuzu, the deepest impression that Tsuchishi had on him was not something like the Earth Grudge.

This guy is a walking money vault!

A greedy person with an extreme sensitivity to money, coupled with peak Kage-level strength and a long lifespan.

How much money must he have saved!

"That's it, pay up to save your life!"

"All of Kakuzu's money will be mine from now on."

Tsuchishi felt no remorse whatsoever. Putting aside how many lives Kakuzu had taken, just the murderous intent Kakuzu had just shown him meant he would have no psychological burden if he killed him.

Hey, you want to use my head to make a bounty?

"Hmm? You actually recognized me..."

Kakuzu was surprised to be found so easily and recognized at a glance. Was he really that famous?

However, before Kakuzu could finish speaking, Tsuchishi made his move.

"Lava Mode"

Without giving Kakuzu time to prepare, Tsuchishi was about to unleash his ultimate attack.

Is this a sign of resentment or unease?

Sorry, you don't have a chance to use it.

Well, there's one more chance, and that's every time you die.

In the short time it took to speak, less than three breaths, a magma giant fifty meters tall was formed.

Although it is no different in height from a few years ago, the interior is completely different.

Judging from its appearance alone, this Gundam is much more refined than the last one, and the lava on its exterior has a more textured feel, suggesting that its defensive capabilities have also been greatly improved.

Kakuzu was completely dumbfounded when faced with the magma giant that rose from the ground.

Looking at the red giant, Kakuzu inexplicably thought of someone.

The person known as the God of the Ninja World.

That person at the time used the Wood Man Technique to summon a gigantic wooden figure.

Although the colors are different, the sense of oppression is extremely similar.

The 50-meter-tall giant was taller than the stone pillar where Kakuzu was located.

The earth and stone manipulated the giant to swing his fist.

A large amount of water vapor instantly emerged from Gao Da's elbows, shoulders, and even waist.

That is a characteristic of the art of propulsion.

Under the effect of the propulsion technique, the magma giant's movements were only slightly slower, not much different from a normal person throwing a punch.

With a single punch, Kakuzu was blasted dozens of meters away.

It was only after Kakuzu belatedly realized this.

"This tactic!"

Kakuzu's voice trembled slightly.

Although it was significantly different from the hundreds-of-meters-tall wooden figure I remembered, the fifty-meter-tall magma giant still exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

Visually, lava is inherently more oppressive than wood.

The earth and rocks won't stop because of this.

Hands form a mudra.

"Molten Release: Explosive Bullet"

A ten-meter-tall fireball of magma condensed and was grabbed by the lava giant, which then swept it toward Kakuzu's location.

Kakuzu hurriedly used the Body Flicker Technique to move dozens of meters to the side, dodging the attack of earth and rocks.

Unexpectedly, the magma fireball did not explode directly; it remained unharmed in the giant's hands and instead melted the ground in its path, creating a huge crater.

The earth and rocks coalesced again into a fireball of magma, which he grabbed with his other hand and waved around.
