The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"This is... a soul?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi found himself in darkness, with only a transparent, illusory ball of light before him. Instinctively, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew this was his own soul.

"So, this is the Sea of ​​Consciousness?"

Previously, Uchiha Kiyoya had only indirectly seen souls in the state of Spirit Transformation Technique, and had never directly experienced a soul.

Is this what the soul is?

However, we have important matters to attend to now; we can discuss the matter of the soul later.

With a thought, Uchiha Qing withdrew from his "sea of ​​consciousness," and his will returned to his body.

Sensing the changes in his body, Uchiha Kiyoshi fell into deep thought.

"Indeed, the body undergoes a spontaneous evolution, but this evolution requires certain conditions to be met."

Uchiha Kiyoshi's body, which had just undergone a transformation, began to transform once again.

This time, it's more thorough; it's not a change brought about by external stimuli, but an evolution from the inside out!

This is the foundation building.

That was just a tactic used by Uchiha Kiyoshi to constantly provoke him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't know how to properly train, and there was no precedent in the ninja world, so he could only guess and try everything he could imagine.

That's right, it's guessing...

All Uchiha Kiyoshi could do in this process was to be as comprehensive as possible, to take all possible situations into account, and to ensure his own safety.

Previously, he didn't know the conditions for Foundation Establishment, so he could only try everything he could think of. But now he knows.

Foundation Building is the process of opening up the "Sea of ​​Consciousness". At least in the Ninja World, a place without a Dantian, opening up the Sea of ​​Consciousness should be the most core change in Foundation Building.

Foundation building, opening the sea of ​​knowledge.

In other words, it's an improvement in the integration of the soul and the body.

Of course, this improvement still comes down to the improvement of the body, greatly increasing the body's strength, and then directly absorbing a large amount of natural energy to improve the degree of integration.

Otherwise, according to the system in the ninja world, it's hard to imagine how much natural energy would be needed or how long it would take to achieve the fusion of the soul and body to a certain extent.

If too much time passes, the vitality, or the degree of fusion, may actually decrease, and the possibility of foundation building may become increasingly lower.

"Hmm, this seems to match up..."

So, is this the reason why it's hopeless to achieve Foundation Establishment at forty or sixty in the cultivation world?

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi gained a clearer understanding of some of his ideas.

Uchiha Kiyoshi is still absorbing natural energy, his integration is increasing, and his body is undergoing a transformation. This process may continue for some time until his body is fully strengthened.

At that time, Uchiha Kiyoshi was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

The first Foundation Establishment cultivator in the ninja world.

Chapter 241 Cultivation System

Uchiha Kiyoshi continued to absorb natural energy, but he controlled it, only absorbing the natural energy that he could purify. The remaining energy needed for his body's evolution was still the purified natural energy provided by his shadow clones.

The final transformation lasted for a full half day.

"Finally, the foundation building is complete."

Uchiha Kiyoshi stood up, feeling the power within his body.

"Ugh, it stinks."

Before he could even sense anything, Uchiha Kiyoshi smelled the stench emanating from his own body.

The necrotic flesh and impurities had been piled up for most of the day and had already started to smell bad.

Water Release: Water Washing Technique

Uchiha Kiyoshi controlled his chakra to unleash a water-style technique, then used the water to wash himself.

"Phew, that feels so much better."

Only after putting on a new white robe did Uchiha Kiyoshi have time to feel the changes in his body.

"The improvement in physical strength is greater than I imagined. This is mainly because the spontaneous evolution of the Foundation Establishment stage has undergone an additional transformation, which lasted longer and was more efficient than the one I performed myself. The improvement is even greater than the previous one."

"Then, it's about the body's immunity to the assimilation of natural energy, which means the speed of purification has increased. Now my body is capable of refining chakra entirely directly from natural energy."

The term "direct" means that it does not require the effort or time to isolate or accumulate purified natural energy.

After that, Uchiha Kiyoshi could directly absorb natural energy to refine his chakra without needing additional isolation or limits. His body's purification ability could purify more natural energy than the speed at which he refined chakra.

In addition, Uchiha Kiyoshi's "spiritual root" quality has improved once again. When he shattered his cells, he incorporated various nature transformations, including the lightning release nature transformation that he hadn't done before. After this transformation, Uchiha Kiyoshi now possesses a "lightning spiritual root," and its quality is quite high, only slightly inferior to the other four attributes.

This time, Uchiha Seimei has undergone a complete transformation.

Even though he hasn't fully mastered everything about himself, Uchiha Kiyoshi can already unleash at least three times his previous strength. Once he completely controls the changes in his body and perfects his various techniques to suit his current state, his power will undoubtedly be even greater.

"Therefore, Foundation Building doesn't actually require that much preparation, especially the breaking down and reorganizing of cells to stimulate the body's evolution. As long as you can increase the compatibility, that's enough. When the compatibility reaches a certain critical point, you open up what's called the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and then the body will spontaneously undergo a transformation."

The method I used in the first half was just one approach. One can also accumulate energy over time, absorbing natural energy to achieve Foundation Establishment. In that case, the Vortex Clan would be quite suitable, given their powerful vitality and high compatibility. Especially at a young age, their cell divisions are infrequent, minimizing compatibility loss. Combined with their inherent strength, they absorb natural energy faster. Once the method is mastered, they might be able to achieve Foundation Establishment at a very young age.

"Of course, this requires a high level of comprehension. After all, even without learning anything else, just learning my techniques requires mastery of sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu. However, the Uzumaki clan seems to have a strong talent in these areas."

Uchiha Kiyoya knew that some things weren't ineffective. Although his method was painful and demanding, the results were undeniably real.

Before the Foundation Establishment transformation, a significant improvement was achieved, and the utilization rate of the Foundation Establishment transformation was also perfect.

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi's compatibility with him had reached a very high level, which meant that Uchiha Kiyoshi's lifespan would be greatly extended. This alone was enough to fulfill many of Uchiha Kiyoshi's ideas.

"Cultivating immortality can lead to eternal life!"

His decision to stay on the right path gave Uchiha Kiyoshi considerable affirmation.

"Now that we have two realms, our cultivation of immortality can be considered to have taken shape. It is no longer a problem to call it a system."

Having completed his foundation building, Uchiha Kiyoshi does not plan to go out anytime soon. He wants to master his strength, familiarize himself with his current state, and refine his various techniques to make them more suitable for his current condition.

At the same time, Uchiha Kiyoshi also had the idea of ​​passing on his skills, but before taking on disciples, he should first perfect his cultivation process.

Leaf.

With the main body successfully establishing its foundation, Hui and his clones received the news immediately and resumed normal operations.

Although they knew they had made extensive preparations for this foundational construction and that even if they failed, their lives would not be in danger, they were still worried. After all, this was something they had been pursuing for so many years, and it would be a real problem if they didn't have any concerns.

"The main body has completed its foundation building, but based on our current understanding, it seems unsuitable for us clones. In other words, the clones cannot reach the foundation building level. However, if we can't cultivate immortality, the clones can still follow the traditional path of the ninja world."

From the memories of the main body, Hui analyzed the limits of the clones, but he didn't care. As long as the main body succeeded in cultivating immortality, it was enough. They had other ways to improve.

"Moreover, the foundation building of my main body is finally complete, and many things for me are about to begin."

Hui turned his gaze to the Konoha training ground and began to think about how to proceed next.

Moreover, it seems that the main body has the idea of ​​taking on a disciple. I wonder how Rin is doing. She has good talent in medical ninjutsu, and this talent is mainly in chakra control. Generally, if you are good in this aspect, your talent in sealing techniques will also be good. As long as you teach her well, it will not be difficult for her to get started. Whether she can reach the Foundation Establishment stage depends on her specific talent.

"Speaking of which, Lin is going to die soon, right? So it doesn't seem too difficult to stage her death... We can just lay a good foundation for her sealing technique in the next two years."

Hmm, if we take Rin as our apprentice, we'll have Obito firmly in our grasp!

Hehe, it seems pretty good.

Hui made his plans and arrived at Konoha's training ground.

Obito's class officially graduated two months ago. Obito, Rin, and Kakashi were assigned to Team 7, taught by Minato Namikaze. However, at that time, Akira was preparing for the foundation building of his main body and couldn't find the time to come and carry out his plan.

Today, Minato Namikaze seems to be absent, and Kakashi and the other two are training on their own at the training ground.

From a distance, it was clear that the three people were in completely different states. Lin was diligently cultivating, while the other two were either cultivating or slacking off, and they would occasionally have a fight. It was unclear what was wrong with the two of them; they seemed to be able to argue over the smallest things.

"How about it, Hui-jun? The three of them."

Minato Namikaze appeared from behind Akira and asked.

He had noticed Hui watching from the side for a long time. Although he didn't know what Hui was looking at, it didn't stop him from coming up to greet him and ask for his opinion, while also checking if there was anything he could improve in his teaching.

Hui had long been aware of Minato Namikaze's appearance, but since he hadn't done anything wrong, he wasn't guilty... well, not guilty.

"Ah, those three are all pretty good. Kakashi is already a Chunin at such a young age. Obito may not seem like much, but he's still quite strong. He's just a bit lazy and doesn't take his training seriously. Rin is also a good girl. She trains very hard and has great talent."

Upon hearing Hui's assessment, Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement.

"Obito's personality is really not good. He can't even stick to training. It's only because Kakashi occasionally provokes him that his strength has been able to keep up." Speaking of Obito, Minato Namikaze seemed to have a headache.

Having such a clown in the team is really worrying.

"Hehe, I think he cares about Lin quite a bit. Maybe Lin can give him some motivation."

Hui offered his suggestions.

Minato Namikaze thought about it carefully, seemingly understanding what Hikaru meant. He nodded meaningfully, his gaze shifting between the two. Then, as if remembering something, a happy smile appeared on his face...

Hui was speechless for a moment. "I'm talking to you about serious matters, what are you thinking about?"

Minato Namikaze snapped out of his daze and suddenly realized something.

"Hui's evaluation of the three people seems to focus entirely on Rin, while Kakashi, the genius, isn't mentioned much," Minato Namikaze muttered to himself.

"Could it be that he's taken a liking to Rin's talent? Well, Hui's medical ninjutsu skills are quite high. But I only recently discovered Rin's talent myself, so it seems Hui has been observing her for quite some time now."

However, this seems like a good thing. I'm not very knowledgeable about medical ninjutsu either. Although Kushina learned a lot of medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, she's not particularly suited to teaching. If Hikaru takes a liking to Rin's medical talent, it wouldn't be bad for him to be Rin's teacher.

As for poaching members, Minato Namikaze didn't care at all. He and the three members of Team 7 were just teacher and students, not master and apprentice.

What are Hui-jun's thoughts on Lin?

Hui turned his head in surprise to look at Minato Namikaze, thinking to himself that this guy was quite sensitive.

"Not bad, you have a good talent for chakra control. Learning medical ninjutsu would be a very good choice."

Upon hearing Hui's words, Minato Namikaze nodded, revealing an expression of "I knew it."

"In that case, Hui-kun could actually teach Rin in the future. I was just worried that I didn't know enough about medical ninjutsu to teach Rin. After all, Rin's talent is indeed very good, but..."

In the end, Minato Namikaze didn't say what it was, but Hui knew what he meant: Rin's talent was only in chakra control and such; her talent in chakra quantity was only so-so, and it would be difficult for her to reach a higher level.

However, Hui wasn't worried about that. Not enough chakra? Heh, how about some health cultivation techniques?

Of course, there are still some barriers to mastering the art of self-cultivation. Not everyone can separate chakra into physical energy and spiritual energy. So before that, we need to improve the art of self-cultivation, lower the barrier to mastery, or develop a sealing technique that can indirectly separate the two.
