The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Hands form a mudra.

Both the Reincarnation Technique and the Samsara Technique involve a process that promotes the fusion of the soul and the body. Uchiha Kiyoshi's Soul Nourishing Technique utilizes this method at its core.

By employing these methods, the connection between the soul and the body can be deepened.

The connection between the soul and the body exists in the form of life force, which is the potential for cell division. Generally, the absorption of natural energy enhances the cell division potential, which in turn strengthens the soul.

The principle of the Soul Nourishing Technique is completely the opposite. Through certain means, namely the techniques of self-reincarnation and reincarnation, the connection between the soul and the body is temporarily deepened, but the life force is insufficient, resulting in a hollow state. The cells' ability to absorb natural energy is enhanced, and the soul's ascension is also accelerated.

Initially, the Soul Nourishing Technique only borrowed the methods of the Self-Reincarnation Technique, and its efficiency was not very obvious. The Reincarnation and Rebirth Technique was more perfect in this respect. In the past few days, the clones have finished studying the Reincarnation and Rebirth Technique and incorporated its methods, which has led to a significant improvement in the effectiveness of the Soul Nourishing Technique.

By opening the chakra barrier, natural energy enters the cells. The violent energy is absorbed, nourishing the soul, while the gentler energy enters the body, nurturing Uchiha Kiyoshi's body.

"In fact, while cultivating the soul through the Soul Nourishing Technique, the filtered natural energy can also nourish the body, meaning it can be practiced simultaneously with the Body Nourishing Technique."

Therefore, the Soul Nourishing Technique can be categorized under the Vital Energy Nourishing Technique. This completes the Vital Energy Nourishing Technique category, encompassing almost all methods of Qi cultivation, soul nourishment, and body tempering.

Uchiha Kiyoshi suppressed his extraneous thoughts and focused on controlling the natural energy, preventing too much natural energy from flowing into his body and assimilating it.

"By the way, my left eye hasn't fully recovered yet."

With a thought, Uchiha Kiyoshi guided natural energy into the cells of his left eye, replenishing the cells' potential. At the same time, the filtered, gentle natural energy also nourished his left eye.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped the Soul Nourishing Technique, feeling the growing strength of his soul and a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Although it's not much, I can clearly feel that my soul has become stronger. Also, my left eye is recovering much faster than before. At this rate, if I cultivate for an hour every day, it will recover in a month."

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi's left eye vision was no longer around 500 or 600 degrees, but around 100 degrees. After activating the Sharingan, it had almost no effect.

Of course, this is only a superficial observation; it indicates that the normal function of the eye cells has been restored, but it does not mean that the damage has been completely repaired.

Overall, the results were very good.

Now, the Soul Nourishing Technique can be said to have been fully developed. The next step is to refine the details, which will require time to polish.

"The most important thing next is to return to one's original state after birth."

By now, Uchiha Kiyoshi was getting impatient.

In the future, being forced to run away, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt a bit aggrieved.

"Such a situation must never happen again in this timeline."

There's still plenty of time. If Uchiha Kiyoshi can't gain the necessary power by the time the Fourth Shinobi World War ends, then... he'll have no choice but to run away again...

If possible, before the fourth war, I need to retrieve the essence of my soul from the Pure Land; otherwise, running away won't be comfortable.

This isn't being cowardly! This is being cautious!

Leaving yourself a way out isn't being cowardly; I call it being well-prepared.

Yes, I'm reliable.

Future time and space.

Uchiha Kiyoshi disappeared, but everything here continued.

Uchiha Kagura and Shin's two clones sealed themselves before Uchiha Kiyoshi activated the Dragon Vein, and the seal automatically broke five minutes later.

With the seal broken and no news from the original body, they knew that the original body should have already returned to its original timeline.

Knowing their mission, the two used the Substitute Instantaneous Body Technique to arrive at the battlefield.

Uchiha Teru remained in the shadows, while Shin joined the battlefield as a member of the Sage Organization.

Of course, he didn't actually make a move; he was just closer to the battlefield.

Madara Uchiha was resurrected, catching everyone off guard.

Similarly, Madara Uchiha was also dumbfounded. After being resurrected, his Rinnegan disappeared, and Madara Uchiha's eyes turned into black holes.

Where is my Rinnegan? Where are my huge Rinnegan eyes?

Damn, this junior is terrible.

They revived me right away, that's good. I hadn't even finished dealing with my opponent yet, why revive me?

I should at least wait until I'm confident I can get my hands on the Rinnegan before making any moves.

However, Madara Uchiha was not alarmed. Although such a change was unexpected, it was still within an acceptable range.

Madara Uchiha arrived, only to be revived by Kiyoshi Uchiha beside him. His eyes disappeared, leaving everyone stunned.

So, if Madara is revived, he won't be able to use the Rinnegan anymore...

That was everyone's first reaction.

But isn't it a bit too late? Hashirama Senju has already been defeated by Madara Uchiha. What's the point of removing Madara Uchiha's eyes at this point?

Obito was extremely anxious at this moment.

"Damn it, did that guy deliberately hand over the Rinnegan to me?"

I knew it! How could someone who knew so much information do something so stupid? Now I understand.

Both eyes are on me. After Madara Uchiha was resurrected, he lost his eyes and his infinite chakra, thus creating a new balance between us.

"That guy is definitely not dead, he just exhausted his life force."

"Yes, given his intelligence-gathering abilities, he must have a backup plan. Besides, his life force is almost gone; can't he recover? He has a hundred White Zetsu at his disposal."

At that moment, Obito thought of many things.

Unwittingly, Uchiha Kiyoshi's image as a fool was salvaged.

And so, Madara Uchiha and Obito with his mask stood facing each other.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

These two entities, which were originally on the same side, seem to have a conflict now...

Madara Uchiha's eyes were tightly closed, yet he remained completely calm and composed. Obito wore a black and white vortex mask, with two holes in the two tomoe (magatama) sections, revealing a Rinnegan and a Mangekyou Sharingan inside.

Chapter 239 Harvest and Preparation

Judging from the last memories transmitted by the two future clones, the plot seems to have been forcibly pulled back by the Sage of Six Paths, Sasuke's Rinnegan was awakened, and Kaguya was resealed.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi always had a strange feeling about him.

The ninja world storyline, which has formed a unique timeline, has a more powerful converging force than imagined. Some details may be changed, but the general direction will be in a process of convergence. No matter what you do, things will develop in one direction.

"Of course, the Sage of Six Paths also played a very important role. After all, the Sage of Six Paths' power was the most crucial element in the entire incident. As long as this element was firmly locked in, the plot wouldn't go astray. The Sage of Six Paths is indeed stronger than I imagined; he was able to pull things back."

With the events of the future timeline concluded, Uchiha Kiyoshi focused his attention on this timeline.

"This experience has taught us that we must be cautious in our actions."

In short, it all boils down to one word—survival.

The so-called "survival" is not about blindly enduring or hiding, but simply about hiding and developing when one's strength is insufficient.

Yes, that's what Uchiha Kiyoshi thinks.

Having experienced battles at the highest level, including those at the level of a Shadow Realm expert and those at the level of a Six Paths Realm expert, he has a deeper understanding of this.

Sometimes the gap in strength can be far greater than you imagine.

"Although it ultimately collapsed, the gains were still considerable."

The refinement of spacetime theory will definitely help with transcendence in the future. After all, how can one talk about transcendence if one doesn't even know the composition of the world one lives in?

Another major gain was the large number of Sharingan eyes, which at least provide material for future research. Most importantly, Itachi's eyes were brought back by Uchiha Kiyoshi. Although he was blind, they still have research value, potentially offering an opportunity to upgrade his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

In addition, the Reincarnation Technique and the Samsara Technique were among Uchiha Kiyoshi's major acquisitions. At least, Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't expected to obtain these techniques in this way. So, could this be used as a future strategy? What, the techniques haven't been developed yet? Heh, I'll go to the future and learn them in advance.

......

"I've gained a lot. I'll go back to the island and focus on my training for a while. It just doesn't feel right to be weak."

After experiencing it firsthand, Uchiha Kiyoshi's view of the Six Paths level completely changed, and his understanding of its power level improved significantly.

Perhaps, a combat power at the Six Paths level is equivalent to that of a Golden Core cultivator! And this is a Golden Core cultivator skilled in combat!

Golden Core and Foundation Establishment are completely different concepts.

"Alas, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long."

At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt a sense of urgency.

After studying for so long, Uchiha Kiyoshi still hasn't completely completed the step of returning to the innate state. Given the nature of cultivation, Foundation Establishment is much more difficult than before. If he doesn't put in more effort, when will he ever achieve the Golden Core?

"Our bloodline limit and attack methods are sufficient for now, so we don't need to waste our energy on them anymore."

In the future timeline, Uchiha Kiyoshi's techniques, such as the Spirit Slash, were able to inflict damage on Uchiha Madara's fourth form, Susanoo. This at least indicates that these techniques were sufficient to support Uchiha Kiyoshi's combat power; the key now lies in advancing his cultivation level.

"Returning to one's innate state through acquired means..."

Uchiha Kiyoshi's desire and longing grew even stronger.

If the ninja system alone possessed such immense power at that stage, what about cultivation? What surprises awaited those who reached that level of cultivation?

Immortality? Freedom from the world? Or transcendence of all things, immortality?

In short, these are all things to aspire to.

Uchiha Kiyoshi made up his mind, got up, withdrew the barrier and other barriers, used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the Dragon Vein, and returned to Kiyoshi Island after several attempts.

The clone was also informed by Uchiha Kiyoshi that he no longer needed to focus on researching the Soul Nourishing Technique. Apart from following the previous plan, he did not need to study attack methods anymore. Instead, he should improve his proficiency with the existing methods, especially the latest versions of the Gundam and Armor Mode. The remaining time could be used to study the details of returning to the innate state with the main body.

The so-called return from the acquired to the innate state is actually the foundation building.

In cultivation, foundation building is mostly a process of liquefying magical power. However, chakra in the ninja world does not undergo such changes. More or less is simply a matter of quantity, without any distinction between gaseous or liquid states.

Of course, Sage Chakra can also be viewed as liquid chakra, since the principle is the same.

But Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't possibly convert all the chakra in his body into Sage Chakra, could he? That wouldn't change anything.

Cultivation, in essence, is a process of evolution of both body and soul. Of course, it is possible to cultivate only the body or the soul, but this is too one-sided and not as good as cultivating both body and soul.

Furthermore, because the body and soul are interconnected and can promote each other, cultivating both body and soul can sometimes be even better than cultivating either one alone.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's research into natural energy revealed two distinct aspects: one gentle, leaning towards the material, and the other violent, leaning towards the illusory. Cultivation, naturally, requires a balance of both.

After all, cultivation inevitably involves absorbing natural energy. If you only cultivate the body, the energy of the violent aura will be wasted; if you only cultivate the soul, the gentle energy will also be wasted.

When both are absorbed and cultivated simultaneously, the body and soul further merge, and vitality becomes more vigorous. Isn't this a process of achieving immortality?
