The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Konoha, in particular, has the best understanding of the power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Some of their current leaders even came from that era and are most familiar with Hashirama Senju's strength.

With the Hokage's support, Root received a large amount of funding and began its infiltration of Iwagakure.

In fact, this work had already begun when the Root was first established. The appearance of the earth and rocks three years ago made them increase their investment, but they did not expect that they could not find out any specific information in three years. Just when they relaxed, the earth and rocks gave them such an earthquake-like move.

"Tushi, what will the future of the ninja world be like?"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but start to worry.

Not only the Third Hokage, but also the Raikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage shared the same sentiment. Even the Tsuchikage was deeply troubled.

If Tushi were a ninja from our village, that would be one thing, but the problem is he isn't.

Over a decade ago, Tsuchishi was indeed a wanted rogue ninja; there was no faking it. We lost contact with Tsuchishi after that!

At this moment, Onoki was internally cursing, especially when he saw the expectant looks from the leaders of the other villages, which made him even more speechless.

Damn, would I lie to you guys?

Tushi isn't a ninja from our village; he's a rogue ninja!

What's with those knowing nods and meaningful glances you guys are giving me? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. No, I really didn't arrange for the earth and rocks to be there.

Those of you here are all high-ranking officials in the village. Would I lie to you?

Onoki only felt pain in his back.

When Tsuchishi left the battlefield, Minato Namikaze was the first to realize that what remained to continue fighting the Eight-Tails was just an empty shell. He immediately notified the other Konoha ninjas to flee the scene.

Although they held their own against the Cloud Ninja forces not long ago, and now the Cloud Ninja have lost several combatants while their side has suffered no losses, Killer Bee is currently in Tailed Beast Mode, and who knows when he will revert back.

It's best to run first.

By the time the Cloud Ninja reacted, it was too late. They were held back for a while by Minato Namikaze, while the other Konoha ninja had already retreated. Minato Namikaze also used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the scene, leaving behind the Cloud Ninja in a state of impotent rage.

The land of rain.

Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki organization disappeared for two years, but that didn't mean they were completely isolated from the world. They still kept track of information about the ninja world, and naturally, they found out about Tsuchishi's news immediately.

After all, there are many black markets on the border of the Land of Lightning, and many wandering ninjas. The news of a fifty-meter-tall giant fighting a hundred-meter-tall Gyu-oni can be clearly seen even from more than ten kilometers away, so it is impossible to keep it a secret.

Yahiko remained silent for a long time after reading the intelligence in his hand.

"Earth and stone? Can ninjas possess such power? If the Akatsuki had such a person, then peace in the ninja world would no longer be just empty words."

But does the Akatsuki organization have such a person?

No, even with the exceptional talents of Nagato, Konan, and the other two, they were still stuck at the level of elite Jonin after two years. The Kage level is not easy to break through, and they had also felt that. Their strength had reached that level, but their accumulation was still too little. No matter how many life-and-death experiences they went through, it would be difficult to break through to the Kage level in a short period of time.

If you can't even break through to the Kage level, how can you talk about having the power of earth and stone?

A look of confusion gradually appeared in Yahiko's eyes. Could his dream really be realized?

If Amegakure alone could suppress the Akatsuki organization to this extent, how much stronger must the other five great ninja villages be, whose power far surpasses that of Amegakure?

Now another being has appeared capable of fighting tailed beasts with bare hands...

He had never seen a Tailed Beast, but he had heard Jiraiya say that they were the most powerful creatures in the ninja world. They were formed from chakra, and that alone showed their power. Their entire bodies were made of chakra, and their bodies were all over a hundred meters long. How much chakra must that take!

And a ninja actually possessed the strength to fight them.

terrible!

However, Yahiko was only confused for a moment before his eyes became firm again.

“If the organization doesn’t have anyone like that, then the three of us will do it. We’ve only been training for seven or eight years, and we already have this kind of strength—the ability to fight a tailed beast with our bare hands. Why can’t we master this kind of strength?”

In an instant, Yahiko's heroic spirit soared.

This is the arrogance of a genius!

Me too!

At this moment, Yahiko felt refreshed and clear-headed, but the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long had not been broken.

"However, it can be sensed that this bottleneck seems to have developed a slight crack."

Yahiko seemed to be deep in thought.

The concept of Kage-level was only mentioned to the three of them by Jiraiya when they were being taught by him. He didn't explain in detail how to break through to that level, but instead talked about a lot of mysterious and esoteric things, which they didn't understand at the time.

Now, perhaps I understand.

The level of "shadow" represents the level of finding one's own path.

Establish your own ninja way. A ninja with a ninja way may not necessarily become a Kage, but a Kage must have their own ninja way!

Everyone has their own beliefs and principles, and each person's ninja way is different, which is why each Kage is different!

At that moment, Yahiko seemed to have found his direction.

A film-level achievement is within reach.

Of course, while it may seem within reach, it still requires time and effort. When he'll achieve that breakthrough depends on how hard he works and how much he sacrifices.

At this moment, Tsuchishi had no idea that his actions would inadvertently help Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, break through his mental barriers and comprehend the path to Kage level. It's unknown whether this will change the course of ninja history, since Yahiko was originally destined to die. Now, Yahiko has prematurely understood his own path; will he break through earlier, and will he possess greater strength in the final battle, thus avoiding death?

These have nothing to do with soil and rocks anymore.

At this moment, Tushi is inspecting his spoils of war in a small cave in the Land of Waterfalls.

"Ten tails, enough for the main body to study, eight tails—"

Uh... doesn't the Eight-Tails have a bloodline limit?

It was only then that Tsuchishi realized that the Eight-Tails had no bloodline limit and its techniques were nothing special. Oh, it had a tail substitute, but it seemed that this couldn't be researched in chakra.

So, all that work was for nothing?

No, no, no, that's not the case. Although the Eight-Tails hasn't mastered a bloodline limit, but...

But what the heck, the Eight-Tails doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

Although he may be stronger than the other seven tailed beasts besides the Nine-Tails, it seems that he relies more on his powerful body and more chakra than the other seven tailed beasts.

Pity......

"However, the Eight-Tails still possesses Water Release techniques, and should have mastered some unique properties or abilities. Let the main body study these."

Finally, the earth and stone could no longer continue their elaborate scheme, and they decided to leave everything to the main body.

Now, with the addition of the Eight-Tails' chakra, his main body now possesses the chakra of two tailed beasts—no, three. He also has the chakra of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, though not much.

In that case, could I also consider collecting the chakra of the tailed beasts and creating a miniature Ten-Tails?

Hmm, not a bad idea. Although the main body may not be interested in the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he is definitely interested in the Six Paths Mode of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Even if the main body does not become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he can do it himself.

I just don't know if this clone of mine can become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Although it's uncertain whether the Eight-Tails' chakra was effective against the earth and stone, there were still gains from this battle.

Most importantly, he confirmed the power of his improved Gundam Mode and the Lava Release: Spirit Slash he developed over the past two years, giving him a more accurate understanding of his own strength.

He could defeat the second strongest Eight-Tails, which means he is not afraid of facing the first seven tailed beasts.

Of course, Tu Shi didn't mean to specifically cause trouble for these tailed beasts.

"I'm a good person!"

His actions this time shocked the entire ninja world, drawing all eyes to him. For the next period of time, Iwagakure will probably be busy dealing with him.

However, only in this way can some of my actions be performed.

I've been eyeing the Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Dust Release training methods for a long time!

Having spent so many years outside Iwagakure, I haven't been idle. I know the structure of Iwagakure inside and out, and I've made many arrangements there, even planting a few spies!

This time, the other major ninja villages will definitely investigate Iwagakure, and Onoki is probably going to be very busy.

Only when Onoki is busy can I hope to get into the Tsuchikage's office.

That guy Ohnoki even sleeps in his office. You just can't find a chance to work overtime for him. You'll exhaust yourself sooner or later. You should just go to the hospital.

However, we can discuss the matter of Iwagakure Village later; there is another matter to attend to now.

"This place is called the Land of Waterfalls, right? Is the Hidden Takigakure village here?"

Chapter 189 Harvest

The battle between the earth and rocks and the Eight-Tails spread throughout the ninja world.

Just hearing it is exhilarating and awe-inspiring; one can only imagine how much more so for those watching in person.

The Hidden Cloud Village had witnessed the Raikage suppress the Eight-Tails, so they adapted relatively quickly. The Leaf Village ninjas, however, were different; they had never seen a tailed beast before.

That's right, I've never seen it before.

There are only nine tailed beasts in the entire ninja world, and most of them are sealed and strictly protected by ninja villages. It is normal that ordinary ninjas cannot see them.

When Konoha's Nine-Tails changed its jinchūriki, Mito Uzumaki was present, and there were no surprises. The transition of the Nine-Tails was almost uneventful, and the Konoha ninjas naturally had never seen the Nine-Tails. Therefore, their only and most likely opportunity to witness a tailed beast was actually during the Second Shinobi World War, but Konoha and Sunagakure exercised restraint and did not use their tailed beasts.

This is why none of the most outstanding elite Jonin of Konoha's generation have ever seen a Tailed Beast.

Oh no, there are exceptions.

Hui possesses the memories of the original body and the memories of the earth and stone, which means he has seen it before. Minato Namikaze had a girlfriend who was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Although it was impossible for her to release the Nine-Tails to see it, he must have sensed the Nine-Tails' aura, and it's not impossible that he had the opportunity to enter the sealed space and see the Nine-Tails.

But this is only what I've seen; I've never actually seen a tailed beast fight.

This experience is destined to be unforgettable for them.

Especially the few people besides Akira and Minato Namikaze.

After all, none of them will be Kage-level in the future, just elite Jonin. The scene of them fighting against the Eight-Tails single-handedly is enough to leave a deep impression on them.

"We need to get back to Konoha as soon as possible and send back the information. Although we have just sent the general information to the village, we still need to report the more detailed information to the higher-ups as soon as possible."

Those present were all geniuses; they quickly adjusted their mood, stopped thinking about it, and headed back towards Konoha.

Thanks to Minato Namikaze's warning, the six Konoha members retreated in time, successfully escaping the entanglement of the Cloud Ninja forces and returning to the Land of Fire, where they reported the details of the battle to their superiors.

As everyone recounted the events, the Third Hokage and Danzo were utterly shocked by what they had witnessed.

Not only does it summon giants, but Tsuchishi also possesses the fighting methods of giants. That disc-shaped attack ninjutsu can directly split the Eight-Tails in two. Such cutting power is almost impossible even for wind-style ninjutsu. It's hard to imagine that this is a lava-style ninjutsu.
