The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Well, I don't know about the future, but I'm sure I could have done it in the past.

"I wonder what the so-called time travel of the Dragon Vein is all about. Does the ability to travel to the past and future really exist? And what would my past and future be like?"

"It's just ahead."

Everywhere you look, there are earthen buildings. I don't know if it's because the place is a dragon vein and has been eroded by dragon pulses, or if this place itself has a long history, but these buildings give people a sense of vicissitude and history.

In the distance, Uchiha Kiyoshi could see a huge palace, magnificent, ancient, and imposing.

At this time, Loulan has not yet been destroyed.

Over the past twenty years, aside from his training, the only plot points Uchiha Kiyoshi could remember were the most important main storylines. As for the Loulan storyline, Uchiha Kiyoshi only knew the general outline; he truly didn't know the specific details.

Although he remembers less, Uchiha Kiyoshi still wants to analyze it, and perhaps he can find some different things.

In the original story, Minato Namikaze and the others came around the time Kakashi was promoted to Jonin. It's unclear whether this mission helped them accumulate enough merit, or whether the subsequent battle at Kannabi Bridge helped them accumulate enough merit. In any case, Minato Namikaze came here in the year Kakashi was promoted to Jonin, which is when Kakashi was twelve years old, most likely in Konoha year 49.

Uchiha Kiyoshi leaned more towards his first guess: before the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Kakashi had completed the mission to Roran with Minato Namikaze, successfully becoming a Jonin, and then participated in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. After all, Uchiha Kiyoshi also had a scene in his mind where Obito gave Kakashi the Sharingan, saying it was a Jonin gift for him, and Kakashi was most likely already a Jonin at that time.

"No, no, I'm not thinking about when Kakashi will become a Jonin, but about the situation in Loulan."

Minato Namikaze and his crew arrived in Loulan in 49. So what's the situation in Loulan now? It's been a full five years since then.

I wonder if any of the bosses have arrived yet. I remember in the original story, the bosses seemed to have traveled back in time a few years before Naruto.

Forget it, whatever. As long as their business doesn't affect me.

I'm just a researcher here to study the dragon veins and their chakra.

If possible, take this opportunity to study the natural energy of the dragon vein.

The natural energy near the dragon vein is extremely dense, something Uchiha Kiyoshi has already been able to sense.

Perhaps others, even those who have mastered Sage Mode, might not be able to sense the richness of natural energy, but Uchiha Kiyoshi definitely could. From the very beginning, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't begin sensing natural energy in places like sacred lands where it was abundant; instead, he successfully sensed it on his own Kiyoshi Island, an area with very ordinary natural energy. This made Uchiha Kiyoshi's perception of natural energy far more refined than that of ninjas who achieved this in sacred lands.

Perhaps, Uchiha Kiyoshi underwent multiple genetic evolutions and numerous adaptations through enlightenment, resulting in significant changes to his body and a heightened perception of natural energy.

Kiyoshi Uchiha could sense the rich natural energy within it. This natural energy contained something indescribable, unlike the natural energy found elsewhere.

how to say.

"It's like giving natural energy an attribute, like fire-attribute natural energy or water-attribute natural energy. This is the case with the natural energy here."

Generally speaking, natural energy can indeed be endowed with attributes, but this is not a spontaneous behavior of the natural energy itself. It requires the influence of external factors, such as human control or the influence of the surrounding terrain. Once it is out of control, natural energy will gradually lose these attributes and revert to its original attributeless natural energy.

The area around the dragon vein can maintain such a rich concentration of natural energy...

"This attribute must be the spacetime attribute, right?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that the natural energy here possessed the so-called space-time attribute. However, Uchiha Kiyoshi frowned again.

Does the attribute of time really exist?

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for now. I'll figure it out eventually if I keep studying it.

Uchiha Chōmai walked towards the location of Loulan. He could only sense the natural energy surrounding the dragon vein; he didn't yet know its exact location. He decided to go to Loulan to inquire about the situation.

The Loulan people were quite hospitable, and with Uchiha Kiyoshi's questioning, they quickly learned the information they wanted.

Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't just ask about the location of the dragon vein right away, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion.

He first inquired about the current situation of Loulan from the local residents and learned that the Queen of Loulan had promoted a minister named An Lushan last year and trusted him very much. Furthermore, under An Lushan's influence, she began to vigorously develop the dragon vein.

Without Uchiha Kiyoshi even needing to say anything, the Dragon Vein had already been brought up by the other party, and Uchiha Kiyoshi naturally shifted the topic to the Dragon Vein.

"The dragon vein is a gift from the earth, a blessing from the earth to us Loulan people."

As he spoke, the other person turned westward, looking at him with a devout gaze.

Uchiha Kiyoshi ignored the other person's actions; he was focused on where the other person was looking.

There, there are continuous mountain ranges.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I look closely, the winding mountain range is so magnificent that it's no exaggeration to say it's the center of the earth.

Could this dragon vein actually be such a large mountain range?

Uchiha Kiyoshi gasped. The Loulan man next to him proudly said, "How about it? Isn't it magnificent? This is the Dragon Vein, a precious gift from the earth to Loulan."

Unconsciously, Uchiha Sei nodded.

Now he's starting to believe it, and he's starting to accept the idea that the dragon vein is at the center of the earth.

"So the West does exist, I guess I'll have to go and take a look when I have time."

For some reason, Uchiha Kiyoshi inexplicably thought of the map from his previous life.

There are mountain ranges between the East and the West, and there are also desert terrains.

Of course, there are some differences in the details, but overall the differences are not significant.

"If the West truly exists, what is it like? Is it a completely different world? Or is it a desolate wasteland? Shattered by the great battle fought by the Sage of Six Paths?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi believed this was a possible guess. The battle between the Sage of Six Paths and his brother Kaguya destroyed many places in the ninja world. Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that the reason why the sea area where his Kiyoshima was located was desolate was also due to the impact of their battle.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kiyoshi grimaced.

"Won't the Sage of Six Paths destroy half of the entire ninja world in one battle?"

No wonder this guy was so good after the war, as if he was atoning for his sins.

"This is just atoning for his sins. He's ruined the ninja world like this. Even if he's doing this for the people, he's still one of the main culprits."

Uchiha Kiyoshi felt that if there was such a thing as a Heavenly Path in the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths would likely be targeted. He had destroyed most of the ninja world and incurred great karmic debts, requiring merit to make amends.

......

Of course, this analogy was just something Uchiha Kiyoshi used to make it easier to understand.

Moreover, all of this is based on the assumption that the West is as Uchiha Kiyoshi thought, and its correctness remains to be verified before Uchiha Kiyoshi goes to verify it.

However, having already thought of this, Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't help but continue to ponder: what kind of person was the Sage of Six Paths?

Is this guy genuinely kind, or is he just doing this to atone for his sins?

After all, this guy isn't human; he's an Otsutsuki.

He spread chakra throughout the ninja world and was revered as the progenitor of ninjas. Was there a reason for this?

No, that sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory.

"I can't think about it anymore, or I'll become obsessed."

There aren't that many conspiracies in the world. The world is beautiful and bright; there aren't that many conspiracies. No, no.

Shaking his head, Uchiha Kiyoshi forced himself not to think about it anymore.

Chapter 205 Dragon Vein

Kiyoshi Uchiha was temporarily ignoring the Sage of Six Paths' affairs. Whatever the Sage did was none of his business. He was just a cultivator, and as long as it didn't interfere with his own cultivation, that was enough.

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

I tried to convince myself for a long time that there weren't that many conspiracies in the world. Uchiha Kiyoshi ultimately failed. Do you believe there are no conspiracies in the ninja world?

They had no choice but to settle for second best and ignore their own problems.

That way, at least I can temporarily stop thinking about these things.

That's what they say, but how I actually act is beyond my control. Besides, all those speculations were just that—speculations—without any evidence.

Uchiha Kiyoshi did not go to the royal palace of Loulan. After learning about the location of the dragon vein from the people of Loulan, he went straight to the dragon vein.

"Such rich natural energy!"

Upon entering the Dragon Vein, Uchiha Kiyoshi's greatest impression was the change in natural energy.

It is even more concentrated than the natural energy in the outside world.

"The natural energy is so concentrated that if it were any more, it would probably condense into a physical form, right? The dragon vein must have a core; is that part entirely condensed from natural energy?"

Although it was described as natural energy, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew that it was all chakra.

It can be used as chakra.

It's the same concept as tailed beast chakra.

However, compared to the chakra refined by ninjas, the concentration of bodily energy in the composition of tailed beast chakra is much greater, to the point that this composition is essentially natural energy.

It is chakra extracted directly from natural energy, also known as Sage Chakra, just with a different name.

Tailed beast chakra is essentially the same as sage chakra, with little difference in quality. However, refining tailed beast chakra is likely much simpler than refining sage chakra. Tailed beasts, to put it bluntly, have no physical form; their bodies are merely condensed from chakra according to their own will. The core of a tailed beast is its will, its soul.

Their will seems to resonate exceptionally with natural energy, easily imprinting itself upon it and transforming it into Sage Chakra, also known as Tailed Beast Chakra.

With advantages come disadvantages. The violent aura within the natural energy is more severe, and the tailed beast chakra is far more difficult to control than normal chakra, even more difficult than sage chakra. Perhaps it doesn't seem to have much impact on the tailed beasts now.

However, this limits the potential of the tailed beasts to some extent. Their chakra control is inadequate, and apart from the tailed beast balls, tailed beast cannons, and bloodline limits that they are born with, they have never developed any other abilities.

The tailed beasts are no less intelligent than humans, yet they have made almost no progress over a thousand years, which shows how severe this limitation is.

And perhaps this is the price to pay.

Dragon vein chakra is similar in quality to tailed beast chakra and sage chakra, as they are all extracted directly from natural energy, only the methods are different.

They are essentially the same.

Including ninja chakra, it is essentially the same: natural energy refined into energy, which is the energy resulting from the fusion of natural energy and spiritual energy. It's just that the natural energy fused into ninja chakra is too sparse, so it has a new name—body energy.

The ninja world has the concept of artificial tailed beasts.

Regardless of who proposed it or how it was defined, in Uchiha Kiyoshi's view, only those who meet certain conditions can be called artificial tailed beasts.

Chakra energy that is directly converted from natural energy and has not been diluted can become Tailed Beast Chakra. Therefore, no matter what the principle of artificial Tailed Beasts is, this point must be guaranteed, and the quality of the chakra must be guaranteed.

Only when this condition is met is having a large amount of chakra meaningful.

Therefore, artificial tailed beasts are essentially life forms with chakra quality comparable to Sage Mode chakra and a massive amount of chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't know anything about Zero-Tails or Moryo; they both originated from negative, dark energy. Without seeing them firsthand, he couldn't make a definitive judgment. However, the dragon vein before him was definitely a man-made tailed beast. Uh, capable of being artificially processed into a tailed beast.

"Although I don't know where the so-called core of the dragon vein is, following the changes in the density of natural energy should be the right thing to do."

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi had some understanding of the so-called development of the Dragon Vein. Perhaps development meant finding the core of the Dragon Vein... at least that's how it is at this stage. Once the core is found, the next step might be how to control that power.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the concentration of natural energy steadily increased, indicating that Uchiha Kiyoshi's direction was correct.
