The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Nine shadow clones appeared.

The shadow clones that Tu Shi had prepared in advance were sealed away for easy carrying.

"One person, one paragraph, copy!"

The ten people had a clear division of labor. Although Tu Shi had never done such a thing before, the main body had, and the memories were shared.

First, use Dust Release, then Light-Heavy Rock Technique, and finally the other ninjutsu.

With the existence of an isolation barrier, the chakra of the shadow clones and the sounds of their various movements were all isolated, so the outside world was completely unaware of the commotion in the Tsuchikage's office.

The guards outside the Earth Shadow Tower had no idea that their village's top secrets were being copied right there in the Earth Shadow's office.

At this moment, their attention was instead focused on the battle on the back mountain.

The sound alone was terrifying.

Is this the kind of power a ninja could wield? Is this even human?

I heard that Tsuchishi used to be a ninja from our village. I don't know if it's true. People outside also say that Tsuchishi was a strongman secretly trained by Iwagakure. They used to think so too, but now it seems that's not the case.

Or is this some kind of act by the Tsuchikage and his men, meant to mislead outsiders?

Yes, as expected of the Tsuchikage!

Chapter 198 Arrangement

In twenty minutes, with the help of his shadow clones, Tsuchishi only managed to copy down Dust Release, Light Rock Release, and Heavy Rock Release techniques.

Well, this speed is actually very fast. A single ninjutsu involves a lot of content. Just carefully reading through the scroll of a single ninjutsu takes more than ten minutes, and further in-depth research will naturally take even more time.

In just twenty minutes, Tsuchishi's ten shadow clones copied down the contents of three ninjutsu techniques, and these were three powerful ones at that.

This is mainly thanks to Uchiha Kiyoshi's main body, who copied experience from the black market last time.

The core and most complex aspect of ninjutsu lies in the circulation of chakra, and Uchiha Kiyoshi had clearly defined these aspects.

This is something Uchiha Kiyoshi has always been doing, so when copying chakra circulation, he can simply write down the relevant cycle numbers in order, which greatly saves time when copying the scroll.

The ten shadow clones of Tu Shi used this method.

When encountering loops that are not marked, or loops whose sequence numbers are not clearly remembered, Shadow Clone will diligently record them.

Of course, such cases are ultimately rare.

After all, Uchiha Kiyoshi had analyzed almost all Earth Release ninjutsu of B rank and below, and had included almost all the cycles involved in Earth Release ninjutsu. The appearance of a new cycle that was not marked could only mean that it was unique to this ninjutsu and had a special function of this ninjutsu.

Just like the several cycles in the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, which can adjust gravity, these cycles are quite complex. Taking a node as an example, 123, 456, 789 pass through three cycles of each node in this order, and there is also a cycle of 347. This is the normal cycle. The special cycles in the Light and Heavy Rock Technique are 1234564789731, which are several small cycles nested together.

It's rare for someone to forget the serial number. Before this operation, Tu Shi diligently memorized the serial numbers related to earth-escape techniques for a long time.

"Hmm? It can't hold on any longer? But it's still lasting longer than I expected. I managed to copy another Heavy Rock Technique during this extra time."

The leading shadow clone, having received a message from the main body of the earth and stone, knew that the time had come and called the other shadow clones to return.

"Everyone, bring over what you copied, then disperse."

Each shadow clone handed the scroll it copied to the original shadow clone, and then dissolved on the spot, leaving only one shadow clone in the end.

"gone."

After reviewing the Tsuchikage's office, the shadow clone, holding the scroll from Iwagakure, shrank the barrier and cast the Earthwalking Technique.

He put the scroll back in its original position, then disappeared underground, heading towards the gap in the village's barrier.

Once outside the barrier, the barrier was dispersed underground, leaving the chakra underground. The shadow clone emerged from underground, cast a concealment spell on itself, and returned to the cave where the earth and stone had lived for a long time.

The next moment, a rock in the cave suddenly disappeared, replaced by earth and stones.

Needless to say, Tsuchishi used the Substitution Technique to teleport out of Iwagakure.

Normally, the barriers of major ninja villages have the effect of isolating space. However, activating this effect consumes a lot of resources, so they are usually not activated. The rumors of earth and stone space ninjutsu have not been fully confirmed, and Iwagakure did not activate it immediately after the attack.

As for Iwagakure, it was naturally the shadow clones left behind by Tsuchiki who continued to control the lava giant and the Four-Tails in their battle.

"Ok?"

Upon returning, the earth and stones seemed to carry a memory—the shadow clone left behind in Iwagakure.

"They lost so quickly."

The earth and stone frowned, then relaxed.

"Onoki intervened, and he actually guessed correctly, hitting the shadow clone's location precisely."

After switching to shadow clone control, the defenses against Onoki became less effective. When Onoki attacked, they didn't have time to react and were hit directly.

"That's fine, next time they'll probably subconsciously think I'm still there."

"Hehe, little do they know that since I know space-time ninjutsu, I'm naturally not afraid of being attacked."

Normally, the earth and stone stay on the head of the giant, but there are reserved places for the earth and stone to stay in the heart, abdomen, and limbs. Using the Substitution Technique, the earth and stone can be moved freely to several locations.

"We've finally achieved our goal this time."

Dust Release, got it.

However, we still need to organize it first.

Since the copying was done in a division of labor, the training content of Dust Release was also divided into ten parts, as were the other two ninjutsu. They needed to be organized before they could be viewed, and they were even numbered. The numbers were used when copying, and although it was convenient to look at the numbers when viewing, it was better to switch back. Many details, such as the order and method of the cycles, were very special. I just finished copying the Shadow Clone Technique, and while the memory is still intact, it is most important to record all of this in written form as soon as possible.

A good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had a good memory, but he wasn't photographic; the same was true for Tsuchishi.

The battle between the Lava Giant and the Four-Tails was an extraordinary event. The entire Hidden Stone Village could clearly see the two giants fighting. The news could not be kept secret, and within just half a day, the information about the earth and stone attack on the Hidden Stone Village reached other ninja villages.

"Hmph, that old man Onoki is lying to fools! It's that same old story about attacking the Four-Tails Jinchuriki again. Who would believe that?"

Upon receiving the intelligence, Danzo sneered.

"The action at the root needs to be accelerated. This earth and stone technique is too powerful; we must investigate it thoroughly."

A fierce look flashed across Danzo's face, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and a hint of greed.

"It would be even better if we could obtain such a technique."

Since gaining control of Root, Danzo has also gained a deeper understanding of Konoha's secrets, including Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan...

The more you know, the more you crave these ultimate powers.

The research on the first generation of cells in the roots wasn't for Konoha's sake; frankly, it was for Danzo's.

It was Danzo who coveted the power of the First Hokage!

The research on the First Hokage's cells has now reached a bottleneck, and the Wood Release technique is also out of reach. The power of the First Hokage is naturally just wishful thinking. However, at this time, Tsuchishi appeared and possessed the same technique as the First Hokage. It is impossible to say that Danzo did not have any greedy thoughts about this technique.

"This dangerous ninjutsu shouldn't be in the hands of someone like Tsuchishi. It's too much of a threat to Konoha. I must master it so that we can better protect Konoha!"

Not only Danzo didn't believe it, but the Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, and Kazekage also didn't believe it.

After all, although Iwagakure suffered great losses in this battle, to be honest, it was a bit absurd.

What was the purpose of the earth and rock attack?

That makes absolutely no sense.

The reason why so many people are willing to believe that the earth and rocks are related to Iwagakure is because of the power that the earth and rocks have shown.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a technique imitating the First Hokage, and such a technique is not so easy to imitate.

Developing even an A-rank ninjutsu is incredibly difficult, let alone a super S-rank ninjutsu like Lava Release: Gundam Mode.

Many people don't believe that it was developed by a previously unknown ninja named Tu Shi.

Although Tsuchishi began to show his talent after World War II, attacking the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and fighting the Three-Tails and Eight-Tails, these were all things that happened after Tsuchishi had grown up. Tsuchishi never showed his talent for developing techniques when he was weak!

They preferred to believe that the earth and stone technique was obtained from Iwagakure.

Everyone knows that the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure has the ability to develop techniques, second only to the Second Hokage. Dust Release was developed by the Second Tsuchikage himself, so it's not impossible that he developed a technique that imitates Hashirama Senju.

As for why it's only now that someone is using it, it's very likely that this technique was only in its initial stages back then, and it has only recently been perfected. Tu Shi happens to be one of the few ninjas who can successfully master this technique.

......

Leaf.

Not to mention the various incidents caused by the soil and rocks.

Minato Namikaze and his six companions returned to Konoha and reported the details of the mission to the Hokage. All six had completed the mission excellently, and each of them had two S-rank mission experiences added to their ninja records.

With these two S-rank records, Hui is one step closer to becoming an elite Jonin, needing only two more S-rank missions and five more A-rank missions.

"There's no rush regarding the mission. My abilities are what they are; if I can't advance in rank, so be it."

Besides, even if I went up, what difference would it make? They still wouldn't be a match for my strength.

Hui takes this in stride.

The main thing is that I just got a new shadow clone...

"The Third Shinobi World War was a very important turning point. The original work described the Third Shinobi World War far more than the previous two Shinobi World Wars, but the specific time was not clear."

Therefore, some arrangements must be made in advance.

The conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha has intensified, and Kumogakure's desire for invasion is becoming increasingly undisguised, making the situation in the ninja world more serious.

Having witnessed the changing situation before the Second Shinobi World War, even without the advantage of a compelling storyline, Teru could clearly sense that war was imminent.

However, the situation has not yet reached its most critical point, and the trigger has not yet appeared.

Although Maga was able to determine the exact time by tracking the Third Kazekage's movements, it was still difficult to pinpoint the exact time.

What if the Third Kazekage disappears in the next moment?

We must make plans early.

The Third Shinobi World War had no main protagonists; it was just a chaotic free-for-all.

However, Konoha was fighting against three opponents, which involved almost every battlefield. Therefore, it was necessary to start by making preparations in Konoha.

All the major events that influenced the situation of the ninja world during the Third Shinobi World War were inextricably linked to Konoha.

Nagato turns to the dark side, Obito turns to the dark side...

While the Cloud faction can intervene in Nagato's corruption, they'll need to make some arrangements to get involved in Obito's corruption.
