The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

It's not that one flame purifies one type of medicinal material; each flame is responsible for purifying quite a few medicinal materials. Separating them into several flames is to reduce the impact of different medicinal material components on other medicinal materials.

For example, some components of the "Awakening Grass" are incompatible with Ganoderma lucidum, causing damage to its beneficial components. Therefore, they need to be purified separately to reduce losses. Currently, the herbs purified by the different "flames" do not interfere with each other.

The soil and stone were already quite skilled at this step, and the purification of the medicinal materials did not take too much time.

At this moment, the flames in front of Tu Shi were each enveloped in several kinds of medicinal liquids.

Ganoderma lucidum and other substances that provide natural energy are extracted separately and then integrated.

Next is the Awakening Grass, whose beneficial components for the soul are suppressed by another component. The soil and stone, even when purified, cannot separate the two components. Therefore, the only option is to use another substance to neutralize them and release the beneficial effects for the soul.

Almost every step was meticulously designed.

It's called suppression, but it's actually just a fusion of two medicinal liquids. After fusion, the soil and stone further purify it, extracting the part that is beneficial to the soul, while discarding the rest, otherwise it would affect the other components below.

"The Awakening Grass stimulates the soul to be in an active state, and next comes the Soul Nourishing Flower, which truly enhances the soul."

The medicinal liquid from the Soul-Nourishing Flower is fused with the extract from the Awakening Grass, and the fusion liquid from Ganoderma lucidum and other ingredients is also added and fused together.

Next comes the fusion of various auxiliary medicinal materials, while the fusion liquid containing Ganoderma lucidum and other ingredients is fused together in very small amounts throughout the process.

"The medicinal liquid has been fully mixed without any unexpected problems. It seems that this new pill formula is a sure thing."

Tu Shi formed a mudra with his hands.

"Coagulation Pill"

The step of condensing the pill is not just about solidifying the medicinal liquid into a pill shape, but also references the production of military ration pills, which has the effect of making the medicine take effect quickly.

"Phew, all done."

The flames in front of Tu Shi had dissipated, leaving only a few round and plump pills floating in the air, emitting a strange luster.

Judging by the appearance, the effect is no longer a concern.

Tu Shi didn't try them himself. The effects of Body Tempering Liquid and Qi Cultivation Pill were similar for his clone and his main body, so he could try them. However, pills like Soul Nourishing Pill were different and had no effect on him, so he could only let his main body try them.

After putting away the pills, Tu Shi tried practicing a few more times, using up all the Soul Nourishing Flowers and obtaining a total of sixty-three Soul Nourishing Pills. This amount should be enough for his main body to cultivate for half a year.

After that, Tu Shi practiced a large amount of the improved version of Body Tempering Liquid and Vitality Nourishing Pill.

He collected some of the Body Tempering Liquid and Soul Nourishing Pills into the same scroll, then used the Instantaneous Body Substitution Technique to teleport the scroll to Qingzhi Island. He kept some of the remaining Body Tempering Liquid, Soul Nourishing Pills, and soil for himself, distributing the rest to his various clones.

The Body Tempering Liquid is for body tempering; even Hui, the busiest of the clones, takes a medicinal bath in his tent every day. The Qi-Nourishing Pill is for restoring chakra. Although the clones' actual chakra is quite vast, and the instances where they appear to lack chakra in battle are just an act, no one knows when they might need it, so having some on hand is always a good precaution.

"Speaking of which, the Qi-restoring pill can only restore too little chakra, a total of about ten chakras. In a short period of one minute, it can only restore five chakras. We should take some time to improve this aspect. We have already used the medicinal materials to their limit, so perhaps we should focus on natural energy."

With the body-forging fluid and research on the Lightning Release body-forging technique, the clones' physical attributes have greatly improved. Now, almost all the clones possess hundreds of chakra units. This amount of chakra recovery is a bit small, but it's still better than soldier pills. Putting aside the taste, it doesn't harm the stomach. Moreover, in addition to restoring chakra, it also contains some nourishing ingredients for the body.

Besides, if one isn't enough, then two will do; if all else fails, ten or eight won't be out of the question.

......

Konoha, the Sarutobi clan.

"Hiruzen! What are you still hesitating for! You're too old! Even if you can improve your Five Elements Escape Techniques again, what good will it do? With your physical abilities declining, your strength won't improve!"

Don't hesitate any longer!

The voice in the darkness, though urgent, revealed a sense of weakness.

Hashirama cells are indeed powerful; Danzo has survived being cut in half, but that must be his limit.

Even if Hashirama Senju were dead, no matter how powerful his cells were, they couldn't possibly keep Danzo's half-body alive indefinitely.

Now that Root has disbanded, Danzo can no longer receive treatment from Root, and he certainly can't find any medical ninjas in Konoha. Half of his body is already failing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted as he struggled, hesitated, and occasionally revealed a hint of pain.

Danzo's words, "You are old," truly stung him.

Yes, I'm getting old, and my strength is starting to decline, while Hui is at his peak. Even if I continue to cultivate, when will I ever have the chance to take revenge?

Yes, revenge.

Not only did Hikaru kill Danzo, but he also removed him from the Hokage position, almost ruining his reputation.

Although he wouldn't be remembered with a bad reputation, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to accept that all his efforts for Konoha had been wiped out by Hikaru in the end!

Interstitial cells were the only option that could solve his physical problems.

Perhaps due to weakness, the voices in the darkness ceased to sound.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and said, "Danzo, I want to have Hashirama's cells transplanted!"

"As expected, I wasn't wrong about you, Hiruzen."

Chapter 277 Accident

The Land of Earth.

An unnamed underground place.

"Lord Madara, that's all the information we have for this time," Zetsu, who was half black and half white, said respectfully to Madara.

Then came a moment of silence.

Ban was also thinking.

Manipulating the entire ninja world is not something that can be done just by saying so.

Everything is changing, not static. Ban also needs to summarize everything and then make the best choice.

The existence of Jue provided him with the greatest protection.

That's intelligence.

Even Uchiha Kiyoshi, with his five clones, wouldn't dare say that his intelligence system could rival that of Zetsu.

"Nagato needs a stimulus." The awakening of the Rinnegan is progressing too slowly. At this rate, we don't even know if he'll have mastered the Rinne Rebirth Technique by the time the plan is finalized.

The Rinnegan itself also inherits some of the characteristics of the Sharingan, such as stimulation.

To master power, you need stimulation.

Madara originally intended to use Danzo, but now it seems there's no hope.

Although he looked down on Danzo, Danzo's existence still had a significant effect on Madara, especially in stimulating Nagato.

Given the current situation in the ninja world, Danzo is ambitious and will inevitably seek external assistance. The Land of Rain, which is powerful but not among the Five Great Nations, would be the best ally. Therefore, Danzo will definitely negotiate with Hanzo.

At that time, as long as we influence Hanzo and set the terms of their deal in favor of Akatsuki, everything will fall into place.

But at this crucial moment, Danzo was killed.

Perhaps it was resentment towards Hui for using Water Release techniques, specifically someone else's ninjutsu, or perhaps it was the impact of Hui killing Danzo on his plans, but Madara now had a very bad impression of Hui.

Madara could only accept Danzo's death. This was actually quite normal; for someone as reckless as Danzo, it was incredibly tenacious of him to die so late.

"With Danzo gone, the plan will have to be changed."

The plan, which was originally intended to be carried out when Danzo couldn't help but look for Hanzo, no longer needs to be waited for.

"Let's move up the plan for Nagato's side."

"Lord Madara, are we really going to move this up? The situation in the ninja world hasn't completely fallen into chaos yet. What if Nagato summons the Gedo Mazo and causes too much of a commotion? Besides, what will you do if Nagato summons the Gedo Mazo? You haven't found a successor yet." Zetsu asked cautiously.

"I'll be fine. Even without the Gedo Mazo, I can hold on for a while longer thanks to Hashirama's cells."

Before the Root was disbanded, Zetsu had already secretly copied the opponent's data in the Root. The technique of transplanting Hashirama cells into the Root also impressed Madara Uchiha.

He used sealing techniques to seal the Hashirama cells, preventing them from spreading, and used them as an energy core to supply himself with chakra.

It must be said that the root-based method is quite innovative.

By sealing away a large number of cells in the stalk using the root method, he supplied himself with life force, which was enough to temporarily replace the Gedo Mazo.

"Prepare yourself and cultivate more Hashirama cells. After the Gedo Mazo, I'll have to rely on Hashirama cells to survive."

It's time to get started.

Moreover, to ensure everything went perfectly, he insisted on doing it himself.

Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen.

Taking action ahead of schedule was inevitable. Not only did Danzo's death mean his plan no longer needed to wait, but the situation of the Akatsuki organization itself was also a factor in Madara's decision to act ahead of time.

The Akatsuki organization is growing too fast, even faster than he originally imagined.

Yahiko had broken through to the Kage level, something he hadn't expected. Not to mention Madara, even Uchiha Kiyoshi was quite surprised that Yahiko had reached Kage level.

It was a year after he had established his foundation that Uchiha Kiyo learned from Kumo that Yahiko had broken through, and he was completely stunned.

According to records obtained from the root of the future timeline, when they dealt with the Akatsuki organization "back then," Yahiko was only at a bottleneck stage and had not yet become a Kage.

That was during the final stages of World War III, and Yahiko from his original timeline had actually achieved Kage-level breakthrough a year before the war.

Honestly, Uchiha Kiyoshi even suspected that Yun was joking with him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi never imagined that Yahiko would find his own path ahead of time because of the information about the battle between Tsuchishi and the Eight-Tails, and embark on a path completely different from his destiny.

He could only attribute all of this to the changes in the ninja world.

Perhaps it was just a small thought that broke through years of confusion and led to a breakthrough.

This situation does exist.

......

With a Kage-level ninja in command, Akatsuki's subordinate, Yahiko, also awakened his "double pupils" by chance, causing his strength to skyrocket. In just a few years, he had become a force to be reckoned with, on par with Nagato and Konan. This was equivalent to giving Akatsuki another Kage-level ninja, and one like Yahiko, who harbored dreams and was always ready to unleash his full power.

Ban has lost faith in everyone else.

"Zetsu, stir up the situation in the ninja world and make things a bit chaotic. Also, provoke Hanzo and make him take action against the Akatsuki."

"Yes"

......

After refining the pills and distributing them, Tu Shi set off for the Land of Earth.

"Why the rush? Isn't the alchemy all for your benefit? Besides, what unexpected events have occurred in the Land of Earth? The Iwagakure's surprise attack on Konoha is still a long way off, at least another six months, right?"

Tu Shi muttered to himself as he began his journey.

"Recently, the research on alchemy has reached a certain level, but it is still missing something."
