The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

The Fire Sealing Seal was the first advanced sealing technique that Uchiha Kiyoshi encountered. It had a low starting point but a high ceiling, making it a typical technique that was easy to learn but difficult to master.

After cultivating for so long, the Fire Sealing Seal has finally found its purpose.

He formed hand seals to seal the Amaterasu Fire within the scroll, then put the scroll away.

"I'll take some time to study it. Amaterasu's flames are so strong. Let's see if we can find any results."

Putting everything else aside, Amaterasu's intense corrosive and scorching properties would undoubtedly provide Uchiha Kiyoshi with considerable gains. Furthermore, Amaterasu is said to be inextinguishable; it certainly didn't burn out for no reason, but rather by continuously absorbing the surrounding natural energy.

Perhaps Amaterasu's power also partly comes from natural energy.

By studying the Sky-Piercing Mirror, Uchiha Kiyoshi's Fire Release techniques could definitely be improved to a higher level.

Uchiha Kiyoshi calmly took out a scroll and cast the Fire Sealing Technique, but Uchiha Itachi interpreted it in a completely different way.

"This guy knows too much, and he's prepared far too thoroughly. Is there really any hope of defeating him?"

Uchiha Itachi remembered the eye in his hand and began to feel insecure.

Does this guy even know the eye he has in his hand?

What is Uchiha Kiyoshi good at?

Naturally, it's about taking things by surprise, especially when facing a formidable enemy.

That's how we dealt with Danzo. We suddenly appeared and destroyed the eye of his Kotoamatsukami. In the life-or-death battle, we didn't follow the usual methods. Instead of killing him one life at a time, we destroyed all of his remaining Sharingan in one go. The same goes for the Inner Four Symbols Seal. We didn't give him any room to use it.

Kiyoshi Uchiha naturally used the same strategy to deal with Itachi Uchiha this time.

Kotoamatsukami?

You won't get a chance to use it.

Substitute Body Technique

With a burst of energy forming in his hand, Uchiha Kiyoshi instantly appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi.

They made eye contact!

opportunity!

Seeing an opportunity, Itachi Uchiha didn't hesitate for a moment, and a crow instantly appeared on his shoulder. One of the crow's eyes transformed into the shape of a Sharingan, which was none other than Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's left eye spun, leaving a line of bloody tears.

Then he unleashed a Qi Yuan Slash.

"why?"

He was split in two from his shoulder to the other side of his waist, and Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened in disbelief.

Why did Kotoamatsukami fail to work?

Despite the excruciating pain in his left eye, Uchiha Kiyoto instinctively reached out his left hand to cover it, while his right hand continued to swing, slicing Uchiha Itachi again, this time at the neck, without giving the other a chance to speak.

Uchiha Kiyoshi knelt on the ground, covering his left eye with his left hand, and groping around Uchiha Itachi's eye socket with his right hand, gouging out the other's eye. Then he took the Mangekyou Sharingan from the crow's eye and put it into the nutrient solution.

The change happened so fast that no one else could react before Itachi Uchiha died.

In their eyes, Itachi Uchiha seemed to be frozen in place, then teleported in front of Kiyoshi Uchiha and was killed in two blows.

No, that's not how it is.

Obito, who had been hiding in the shadows and had never appeared, saw it all most clearly. Itachi Uchiha had counterattacked, and that crow was the one who had done it. Obito also knew about Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and roughly knew its effects.

Uh... Shisui himself revealed the information about his eye technique, so it's hard for Obito not to know.

Fool!

"So what happened in that instant? Uchiha Yun activated his eye technique! His eye technique also had an offensive effect?"

Obito was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Not long ago, three possible interpretations of Uchiha Yun's eye technique somehow spread. Everyone thought that Uchiha Yun's eye technique was auxiliary, but they never expected that it would also have offensive capabilities!

No, it can't really be called an attack, but it's powerful enough to negate the effects of Kotoamatsukami!

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi's only feeling was pain, an intense, excruciating pain!

In that instant, he turned back time for the crow.

Normally, there wouldn't be such a huge backlash; it would only consume some of the eye power. But just now, the crow activated Kotoamatsukami.

Activating Kotoamatsukami means that a certain rule has been triggered. Trying to reverse this process would naturally result in a huge backlash, far exceeding Uchiha Kiyoshi's own judgment.

He tried to open his left eye, but everything became blurry, as if he had been nearsighted for 500 degrees. Uchiha Kiyoshi gave a bitter laugh. "I've really messed up this time."

Fortunately, Itachi Uchiha was not in good physical condition at the time. Even though he activated Kotoamatsukami, it was only with great difficulty and he could not activate it at its maximum power. Otherwise, Kiyoshi Uchiha's left eye would have been almost completely lost to his opponent.

While Uchiha Kiyoshi was enduring the pain of the backlash, Obito seemed to have found an opportunity. He used Kamui to teleport to Sasuke's side, grabbed him, and instantly disappeared. Even Orochimaru couldn't stop him in time.

Damn it!

Orochimaru's face darkened; his vessel had been snatched away.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was speechless. Orochimaru was really something. In just so much time, you, a veteran Kage-level shinobi, couldn't even defeat Sasuke, a newly promoted Kage who had overexerted himself.

I told you to play, but you insisted on figuring out Sasuke's strength, dragging things out, and you messed things up.

Chapter 229 Eye Condition

Orochimaru messed things up and lost Sasuke, so it's not Uchiha Kiyoshi's fault.

However, this is for the best. In Uchiha Kiyoshi's view, even if Orochimaru captures Sasuke, he will ultimately fail to possess him. Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and even without genjutsu, it is still quite effective against Orochimaru, not to mention that Sasuke also has Indra's chakra within him.

Ignoring Orochimaru, Uchiha Seiki used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the scene.

He overuses his left eye and needs a quiet place to check on its current condition.

The Land of Fire.

Deep in a dense forest, inside a cave, Uchiha Kiyoshi was sitting on the ground cultivating his Yuan-Nourishing Technique.

After cultivating for about two hours, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped, opened his eyes, and it was obvious that his right eye was brighter.

"Sigh, my left eye was overworked, and it almost couldn't be repaired."

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered the source of life force through research and developed a simple method to absorb natural energy to alleviate the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan, there is ultimately a limit. Once the eyes are damaged to a certain extent, this method cannot make up for it.

Fortunately, after killing Itachi, Uchiha Kiyoshi's eyes were enhanced, and the injury to his left eye was somewhat repaired; otherwise, it would have been impossible to recover.

However, although his eyes can gradually recover, it will definitely take a very long time. After all, the last time he experienced a 10-minute-plus acceleration, it took him five days to fully recover; who knows how long it will take this time?

"Sigh, it seems I need to upgrade my methods for absorbing life force."

In order to recover quickly, Uchiha Kiyoshi could only focus on absorbing life force.

In Uchiha Kiyoshi's previous research, vitality was the potential for cell division. At that time, Uchiha Kiyoshi even gave it a fitting name - the desire of cells, the desire of cells to divide.

This so-called desire can be replenished through the violent energy in nature, which is also the most basic theory of Uchiha Kiyoshi's absorption of life force.

Looking back now, Uchiha Kiyoshi has a much deeper understanding of this theory.

Some time ago, while researching methods of soul cultivation, Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered the effect of the violent aura of natural energy.

Kiyoya Uchiha updated his understanding of natural energy.

Natural energy is two-sided, just like chakra, which is composed of physical energy representing real matter and spiritual energy representing the illusory realm. Natural energy is also composed of pure energy and violent elements, one representing matter and the other representing illusion.

Pure energy is the manifestation of the body's energy being concentrated to a certain degree, while the volatile part has a beneficial effect on the soul.

At this point, there is already some overlap in function; the irritable part has a nourishing effect on the soul, and at the same time, it can be absorbed by cells to replenish vitality.

To avoid conflict, Uchiha Kiyoshi combined the two processes into one.

Why can't vitality be the degree of integration between the soul and the body?

The irritability is absorbed by the cells, which actually transfers to the soul, thus increasing the fusion between the body and the soul.

"In this way, there are limitations not only in terms of the body but also in terms of the soul if one wants to accelerate the absorption of life force. I suppose with my current physical condition, it shouldn't be the one that's holding me back, so the reason why the absorption speed of life force is slow to increase must be due to the soul."

It's not that the soul's strength is insufficient; rather, it's that there's no proper guidance, and the soul's absorption of energy is not perfect, causing the process to be quite slow.

It seems the Soul Nourishing Technique needs to be developed quickly.

Uchiha Kiyoshi took out the shadow clones of his clones and sent the message to them, telling them to speed up the development of the Soul Nourishing Technique and put other matters aside for now. After all, the Third Shinobi World War was still three years away, but things were different on his side, with only one year left until the Fourth Shinobi World War.

During the deal with Orochimaru, when they agreed on the battle division, Kiyoshi Uchiha received an additional piece of information from Orochimaru—Pain was attacking Konoha.

Orochimaru overheard that Pain would soon attack Konoha.

Such confidential information should not have been overheard by outsiders, but Orochimaru was lurking around during the discussion. In addition, Orochimaru himself was not friendly to Konoha and would not stop them. Orochimaru had never revealed the contents of their meetings before. All these reasons combined led to Orochimaru overhearing this news.

"Pain attacked Konoha, and he died in the end, right? It seems he was tricked by Kotoamatsukami and used the Rinne Rebirth Technique."

Uchiha Kiyoshi frowned. After this, wouldn't it be a struggle for the Rinnegan, and then the Fourth Shinobi World War break out?

The fourth war is just around the corner.

Damn it, there could be a gap of one or two months, or even a day, between Konoha Year 67 and Konoha Year 68.

It is now the end of Konoha Year 67, and Year 68 is fast approaching.

Uchiha Kiyoshi cursed under his breath. "How could they do this? We weren't even ready. I should have known better than to be so reckless and just reversed the crow with my left eye instead of waiting for them to activate Kotoamatsukami."

At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt the intense malice emanating from the world.

I was a bit reckless when I killed Itachi. I don't know what happened, but I had a brain fart and wanted to see if my time reversal could reverse the effect of my eye technique, which resulted in this mess.

Damn, how can you fight with your left eye like this?

Damn it, damn it.

Taking out the shadow clones he had just recalled, Uchiha Kiyoshi once again urged them to speed up the development of the Soul Nourishing Technique. "Put aside your own training for a month! Both the clones and their shadow clones, develop the Soul Nourishing Technique for me!"

Leaf.

News of Uchiha Kiyoshi's killing of Uchiha Itachi quickly reached the Hokage.

"That Uchiha Yun is too fast."

Tsunade frowned. Although she didn't know what had happened back then, Itachi seemed to have maintained contact with the village all along, meaning Itachi was a spy for the village within the Akatsuki organization. And this spy had now been killed, killed by Uchiha Un, who had been stirring up trouble in Konoha recently.

Tsunade now has ample reason to believe that Uchiha Un is targeting Konoha.

But their actions were all for revenge, which is perfectly reasonable.
