The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

These words were spoken by Minato Namikaze, and hearing them from his mouth lessened the awkwardness for Rin and Hikaru.

"From now on, I will call you Teacher Hui."

To make it easier to distinguish, Lin said that she would add a prefix when calling Hui from now on.

Hui had no objection to this.

"It's getting late today. We'll be here again tomorrow morning, and I'll be conducting the first phase of your training."

After Obito recovered, Minato Namikaze tested him and had the three of them team up for a battle. He then assessed their progress over the period and gave his comments.

Hui watched from the side and nodded in approval. Minato Namikaze, the Jonin leading the team, had truly done his job to the extreme. He taught everything he knew without reservation, and of course, he also taught according to the students' individual needs, rather than simply passing on all his knowledge to them.

Kakashi excels in Lightning Release and Earth Release, techniques that Minato Namikaze couldn't teach him. However, Minato could offer Kakashi a great deal of guidance in swordsmanship. Although Minato himself wasn't a master swordsman, he was skilled in close combat, and he had a wealth of combat experience and techniques to teach, perhaps even more than many others in the entire ninja world.

Kakashi has the swordsmanship training notes left by White Fang, so he doesn't need Minato Namikaze's teaching on basic techniques. Instead, he can learn a lot in terms of combat experience and skills.

Not to mention, Kakashi is still quite young and his chakra is relatively scarce, so almost all of his strength is concentrated in swordsmanship. Kakashi also knows ninjutsu, and his talent in ninjutsu is undeniable, but because he has limited chakra, the number of times he can use it is also limited, so he mostly relies on swordsmanship in battle.

Of course, it's not to say that Kakashi's chakra was really that little. After all, to be promoted to Chunin, one must have a sufficient amount of chakra. Kakashi was able to directly become a Chunin at the age of six, which shows how talented he was with chakra.

However, relatively speaking, due to his young age, Kakashi's chakra is at the lower end among ninjas of the same level. Under such circumstances, if he wants to improve his combat power, he can only practice swordsmanship and other methods that rely less on chakra.

Later on, Kakashi was mainly hampered by his Sharingan. The Sharingan consumed too much of his chakra, which is why he appeared so weak and needed long recovery periods to activate even a single ninjutsu. Keep in mind that even just keeping the Sharingan active consumes a lot of chakra. Even a member of the Uchiha clan might not be able to keep their Sharingan active 24/7, let alone an outsider like him, whose chakra reserves are even greater. And Kakashi had been nurturing his Sharingan for over a decade! You can't say his chakra reserves were small?

He has more chakra than Uchiha Kiyoshi, who was the same age as him.

As for Obito, well, under Kakashi's encouragement, although he was still late for everything and lacked perseverance after only a day or two of training, his frequency of practice increased in the two months after graduation. He had mastered the Great Fireball Technique and the Phoenix Flower Technique, and even his throwing of kunai and shuriken had greatly improved. Now, his strength can be considered that of a qualified genin.

However, compared to his two companions, Obito's strength is still lacking. Kakashi is a child prodigy who was already a Chunin at the age of six, and now at eight, his strength is already quite good among Chunin. Rin, although a commoner ninja, was an excellent student at the Ninja Academy. She trained diligently and had good talent. Her strength was also top-notch among Genin.

Rin is much better; she's the least worrisome. Not only is she very hardworking in her training, but she's also always mediating the relationships between her teammates. Whenever Kakashi and Obito argue, Rin always manages to save the day.

After giving their comments, Minato Namikaze suggested that everyone go out for barbecue. After all, they had gotten to know each other a bit.

Well, Kakashi already knew Hikaru, Rin was taken in as Hikaru's disciple, Minato Namikaze was Hikaru's comrade-in-arms, and only Obito and Hikaru didn't get along very well.

Obito: You're telling me what to do? Hmm...

They dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

However, Obito, being a lively person, didn't feel awkward and quickly became familiar with Hikaru.

Especially after hearing his teacher say that Hikaru's Fire Release was very powerful, Obito became even more eager to please.

Hui also promised to give Obito some pointers on Fire Release techniques when he had free time, which greatly excited Obito.

After all, Obito himself realized that his strength was the lowest in the entire team. Although he kept talking about awakening his Sharingan so that his strength would increase significantly, he was still uncertain about his abilities. Seeing Kakashi's continuous improvement and Rin having a teacher to guide her, he was naturally spurred on. Unfortunately, Minato-sensei wasn't skilled in Fire Release, so Obito was also a little anxious.

The clan's teachings... well, they're actually quite good, but nothing compares to cultivating incense with Lin...

Hui didn't have any major issues with Obito. The future Obito is the future Obito; before anything happens, there's still room for maneuver, and it shouldn't be condemned outright. Besides, the current Obito is indeed quite fun, and he'd be perfect as a guinea pig for Rin's training. As for whether Obito himself agrees? Heh, this guy would probably be more than happy to.

The Land of Fire.

black market.

After visiting one shop after another, the money in Tushi's ninja tool bag kept shrinking, while he gained a lot of medicinal herbs.

Collecting medicinal herbs was one of Tu Shi's tasks during this period. After collecting the herbs, he had another task: to study the alchemy system.

It doesn't have to be strict alchemy; medicine making is also fine, whether it's powder or ointment, as long as it can enhance the effects of the medicinal materials several times over and quickly exert their medicinal effects.

Tu Shi was in charge of alchemy, while Ma Jia was in charge of weapon crafting. He had abundant gold dust and could directly control metals, making it perfect for weapon crafting. Yun was responsible for talisman making. Talisman making was relatively simple, as the ninja world already had explosive tags, making it easier to develop. However, considering that Yun was in the Akatsuki organization and was currently in a state of flux, unlike the other clones who were either in major ninja villages or could fully display their strength without financial pressure, Uchiha Kiyoshi's main body assigned Yun relatively easier tasks.

Of the myriad arts of cultivation, Uchiha Kiyoshi only intended to create a few important ones or those useful to him. As for the others, he could only offer a general direction and see how others would carry them out.

The purpose of alchemy is to facilitate one's own cultivation. After all, the physical body is also in urgent need of improvement, and pills that can quickly enhance strength, physical fitness, or cultivation speed are still very meaningful.

Crafting weapons and making talismans are also useful to Uchiha Kiyoshi. In addition, there are formations. Of course, these already exist in the ninja world. What is needed is to organize a complete set of theories and foundations. This is a real task.

There are also spiritual plants, which is a very useful side job. Especially for Hui, who has been assigned this task. Uchiha Kiyoshi is hoping that Hui can be inspired while researching spiritual plants and complete the fusion of Yang Release into Wood Release, achieving a Wood Release at the level of Bloodline Elimination.

Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew it would be difficult, but there was still hope.

After leaving the black market, Tu Shi brought a large amount of medicinal herbs to the research base he had prepared earlier.

It's best not to conduct alchemy research near Iwagakure Village, as it could easily expose us.

Now that the news that Tsuchishi could conceal his chakra aura has spread, various sensory ninjutsu have emerged one after another. Tsuchishi doesn't dare to say that there isn't a single sensory ninjutsu in Iwagakure that would be useful to him. Even if it's not useful to him, it might be useful to medicinal herbs and could expose him. That's why he doesn't plan to conduct research in Iwagakure.

"Alchemy and medicine making are actually methods to maximize the medicinal properties of herbs. I can make a medicine that takes a month to absorb complete in an hour. If a single herb is not effective, I can mix the medicinal properties of several other herbs to achieve a more powerful effect."

To develop a complete pharmaceutical system, the first step is to develop methods for extracting medicinal materials, thus separating their medicinal properties.

A ball of fire appeared in Tu Shi's hand, and he threw a medicinal herb into it.

The fireball was not intense, had no burning sensation, and was not very hot. Its corrosive effects were also firmly suppressed by the soil and rocks.

The nature change that earth and stone apply to this ball of fire is a gentle one, not for combat, but specifically to aid in alchemy. Its nurturing properties are similar to the purification and nourishing properties of water-based techniques; earth and stone are specifically cultivated for alchemy.

This quality has been cultivated for quite some time now, and it's finally coming in handy.

With his spiritual perception at its peak, he sensed the changes inside the medicinal herbs. Using the flames that covered the herbs, he slowly removed impurities and, based on his knowledge, separated the different medicinal liquids that contained the herbs.

"Sizzle..."

Failed.

Tu Shi was not discouraged; he learned from his experience and continued to try.

Leaf.

As Hui and his group came out of the barbecue restaurant, they ran into two acquaintances.

Yes, they are all acquaintances.

One is Kushina Uzumaki with fiery red long hair, and the other is Mikoto Uchiha with long, straight black hair.

The two were very close friends at the Ninja Academy and often went shopping together. Especially after Uchiha Mikoto married Fugaku and almost stopped going on missions, the number of times the two went shopping together increased.

It was precisely this relationship that led to Minato Namikaze having a very good relationship with the Uchiha clan. Minato Namikaze's role as the Fourth Hokage was quite friendly towards the Uchiha clan, which may have been one of the reasons why he was framed by Danzo and Obito.

When they say they're acquaintances, they're referring to the real persona. The persona of Hikaru has no connection to either of them. Hikaru's acquaintance with Minato Namikaze was during a mission, so naturally, he didn't have much interaction with Kushina. As for Mikoto Uchiha, although she knows Hikaru's identity, Fugaku hasn't told her, and she even avoids others when meeting with Hikaru.

I don't like writing about these everyday things either. I'll try to finish writing these as soon as possible, and then we'll have the Third Shinobi World War.

Chapter 244 Medical Ninjutsu

"Oh, Kushina-sensei, what are you doing here?"

Of all the people, Obito was the most outgoing, and he was the first to call out to Kushina when he saw her.

Don't be misled by the Nine-Tails incident. Obito and Kushina had a very good relationship. Although he had a quirky personality, his optimistic and positive attitude was actually very appealing to Kushina. Among the three members of Team 7, Kushina and Obito had the best relationship.

"Hey, Minato, you guys are here too."

Hui and the two women didn't know each other, so Minato Namikaze introduced them.

"So you're Hui-kun. Minato has mentioned you to me several times. You can come to my house sometime, and I'll treat you to a big meal."

Kushina was very generous; with a wave of her hand, she said she would treat everyone to a big meal.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group said their goodbyes.

Kushina Uzumaki's appearance gave Hui some ideas.

"The Uzumaki clan is quite suitable for my cultivation system. Kushina is too old, so it won't work. This kind of cultivation is best started from a young age. If possible, I could try to find a member of the Uzumaki clan."

He didn't believe that there were only a few members of the Uzumaki clan in the entire ninja world.

The Uzumaki clan was once incredibly prosperous, even establishing its own nation! The entire Uzumaki clan created the Land of Whirlpools, a testament to their immense wealth and power. Even after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, there shouldn't have been only a handful of people left.

After all, the Uzumaki clan is known for its strong vitality; in other words, it has a strong ability to survive. Even if the Land of Whirlpools were to fall, the chances of the Uzumaki clan members who escaped would actually be quite high.

"Of course, it's okay if you can't find one, Karin is a good alternative."

At this point in time, Karin might not even have been born yet, so she probably wouldn't be found in Kusagakure.

Hui didn't dwell on it too much; these thoughts were just fleeting.

the next day.

Konoha Training Ground.

The seventh squad arrived at the training ground early to assemble and begin a new day of training.

Strangely, Obito was not late.

Hui was also puzzled by this. It turned out that Obito wasn't late every day, only occasionally.

If Kakashi knew what Hikaru was thinking, he'd definitely roll his eyes. You're overthinking it. Obito wasn't late today simply because he was terrified of being beaten up by you. Besides, after everyone dispersed yesterday, Obito and Kakashi walked together for a while, and during that time, Kakashi "accidentally" provoked Obito again, making Obito's desire to train strongest today.

He dared not be late if he wanted to learn something from Hui.

Thus, when Hui arrived, he saw the complete Team 7, without Obito's absence.

Hui was actually a little disappointed by this.

"Sigh, I'll have to find another reason."

Teaching Rin medical ninjutsu naturally requires finding someone to treat. Yesterday, Hui had planned to ask Obito for help, but today Obito was so eager to come, not even late, that Hui couldn't just make a move...

"Today I will teach you a fire-style ninjutsu that I developed myself. Although it is only a C-rank, if you master it, it may not be worse than a B-rank ninjutsu."

Hui walked up to a tree so thick that it would take two people to hug it, his right hand covered in flames, and punched down. The moment his fist touched the tree trunk, the flames on his fist suddenly exploded, creating a huge impact that blasted a large hole in the tree trunk, with white smoke rising around it.

"Wow, that's amazing! I want to learn it, I want to learn it!" After witnessing the power of the technique demonstrated by Hui, Obito expressed his desire to learn it, and at the same time, he began to imagine using this technique to beat up Kakashi.

Hui gave Obito a Fire Release scroll and told him to practice it himself.

On one hand, I wanted to check on Obito's situation, to see how talented he was, and how efficient I was at training according to the scroll.

On the other hand, the scroll contained the "Exploding Fist," a technique he developed himself. Hikaru gave Obito this technique hoping to change Obito's fighting style. Most of Obito's fighting techniques were ranged attacks. While theoretically perfect for teaming up with Kakashi, Kakashi didn't seem to need his cooperation... The future Obito was similar; he primarily mastered ranged attacks, was practically useless in close combat, and didn't synergize well with Kamui, completely wasting space-time ninjutsu. If it weren't for Kamui's power, Obito would have been finished long ago.

Fire Release techniques are almost exclusively ranged attacks; close-combat Fire Release techniques are extremely rare. Aside from the Explosive Fist developed by Hui, it's uncertain whether any other techniques in this area still exist. The Explosive Fist is a close-combat Fire Release ninjutsu. It was developed by Hui based on monstrous strength and has a wide range of applications. It is precisely because of its wide range of applications that Hui conceived the idea of ​​enhancing Obito's close-combat abilities.

After all, if used properly, super strength can be used in various close combat situations, and the same applies to explosive punches.

Of course, it's a good technique, but it might be a bit difficult to master.

It's not that it's difficult, but it does require some hardship. Especially for a ninja like Obito with poor self-control, learning this technique will almost certainly involve getting burned...

Hui didn't do it on purpose; the technique really is like that.

"Alright, first, I need to check your basic skills. You should have practiced climbing trees and wading through water, right? Let me see how well you've mastered them."
