The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Although the efficacy of pills has gradually improved and the alchemy system has been established, Tu Shi still feels that something is missing.

"Alchemy system..."

"understood!"

"How can you build a system without a foundational theory? From the beginning of my research until now, I haven't even organized the basic theories of alchemy yet." Tu Shi suddenly realized what he was missing and slapped his head with his right hand. He was already distracted, and this action caused him to lose his balance and almost fall while he was on his way.

He quickly steadied himself and continued on his way, his mind still replaying his earlier thoughts.

“From the very beginning of my cultivation practice, I have been building a system and perfecting the basic theoretical framework, laying a solid foundation. It is precisely because of this that I have been able to get to where I am today step by step.”

Unexpectedly, once his skills improved, he forgot this good habit.

Actually, it's not that they forgot. In pioneering the path of cultivation, Uchiha Kiyoshi's side had been working on this aspect, but it was only within the cultivation system.

It's not just alchemy; the fundamental theories for crafting weapons and talismans also need to be perfected.

Only with a solid foundation can one make continuous progress in the future.

"Once we arrive in the Land of Earth, let's do some work in this area while we're gathering intelligence."

"Reviewing the old to learn the new may yield extraordinary results."

Just as Tu Shi was contemplating how to perfect the basic theory of the alchemy system, Ban also began his own actions.

Chapter 278 Reunion

The ninja world was in chaos, and even the most ruthless individuals rarely caused trouble, except for that initial incident, after which they mostly stayed in the Land of Fire refining elixirs. Tsuchishi wasn't going to cause trouble this time; he was simply gathering intelligence.

No matter how powerful you are, never try to get involved in the vortex of war.

This is also how wandering ninjas survived during wartime.

Because lone wolves are always the biggest threat. Once you join them, even if the ninja villages suffer some losses, they will definitely eliminate you, this unstable entity, first.

Not only do they not participate in the struggles between villages, but they also try their best not to reveal their whereabouts when traveling in the ninja world.

Otherwise, your safety will definitely be threatened if they find out your whereabouts. In addition, they will have all sorts of suspicions about your presence.

Well, Tsuchishi is afraid that Iwagakure will find out he has returned to the Land of Earth.

It wasn't that they were afraid of powerful figures like Onoki taking action, but rather that they were afraid the other side would send the Iwagakure army.

Tsuchishi thought about it and felt that this possibility was quite real, and not insignificant. After all, Iwagakure's biggest advantage over other villages was its large number of ninja...

Moreover, the same thing has happened before.

The Third Raikage was surrounded by an army of tens of thousands of ninjas, something Tsuchishi witnessed firsthand!

With the Substitution Technique, Tsuchishi is naturally not afraid of danger; what he fears is Iwagakure continuing their fight to the death.

Well, after more than a year, Tsuchishi has returned to the Land of Earth. It's no wonder that Iwagakure is worried. With a large army watching him all the time, that's definitely not what Tsuchishi wants.

Most importantly, with a large army guarding the earth and rocks, the ninja of Iwagakure will be insufficient. What if they can't even muster enough ninja to attack Konoha, or if their remaining strength is insufficient, and Iwagakure simply abandons the battle against Konoha?

While I don't mind history being rewritten, it's better not to change things that can be left unchanged.

Otherwise, we'd have to redesign Obito's upgrade strategy...

Madara might also go berserk.

Life has come to an end. Everything was fine until it was ruined. What if the person can't take it and goes on a rampage?

At this moment, Tsuchishi is unaware that Madara Uchiha has already planned to have Nagato summon the Gedo Mazo ahead of schedule, while he himself relies on the device created by Hashirama's cells to provide his life force; otherwise, he would definitely be more cautious.

Because Madara might have already placed all his hopes on Obito... This so-called pressure is just about choosing the person who will take his place in the ninja world after his death.

To conceal their tracks, Tu Shi was extremely careful the entire way.

There are still large Konoha troops stationed in the Land of Rivers. Even though the war is over, the defenses around the area are still quite strong. The only way to deal with the land and rocks is to go through the north, and the best option is the Land of Rain.

The Land of Grass is also chaotic, but it's just chaos—a chaotic area without strong figures to suppress it or laws to govern it. Most of the wandering ninjas who hid during the war also gathered here.

It's too easy to expose your whereabouts here.

Therefore, the Land of Rain is still the most cost-effective.

With Hanzo and the Akatsuki as the two main forces, although things were chaotic, there were relatively few ninjas scattered among the civilian population. This was because Amegakure was cracking down hard at this time, and the Land of Rain, currently without war, had enough energy to ensure domestic "stability."

Driven by spiritual perception, we traversed the land of rain through earth and rocks.

"To be honest, the weather in the Land of Rain is really strange. It rains every day. Where does all this rain come from? Could it be that all the clouds in the entire ninja world have been blown here?"

To be honest, the soil in the Land of Rain is quite fertile, but the constant light rain and occasional torrential downpours have caused the soil to become barren.

Otherwise, the Land of Rain wouldn't have a lower income than the Land of Wind...

Previously, earth and stone had never been to the Land of Rain.

He cultivates Fire Release, Earth Release, and the fusion of the two into Lava Release, so he naturally has a strong aversion to the environment of the Land of Rain.

However, after incorporating Water Release and successfully fusing Blood Release to eliminate Lava Release, the rainy environment no longer has any effect on him, and may even have an advantage. Earth and rocks are no longer so resistant to the Land of Rain.

"Hey, isn't there a transparent person over there?"

After being discovered by Uchiha Kiyoshi last time, Zetsu put away his carelessness and became even more cautious in concealing his presence. However, he was still discovered by Tsuchishi.

There's nothing we can do; with the rain covering it, your area is completely empty...

Soon, the soil and rocks also realized what was happening.

It must be said that this disguise method is really ingenious. Under normal circumstances, unless the other party enters within 500 meters of his body, he will not be able to detect him.

There's probably only one person in the entire ninja world who possesses such a method, right?

Black Zetsu.

"Water Escape Technique: Water Prison"

Whether it's true or not, just take a look and you'll know.

This place is quite remote in the Land of Rain, so the sounds of battle won't get out for a while. Moreover, as long as I don't use methods that reflect my own personality, my whereabouts won't be exposed.

The rainwater gathered around the "invisible man," forming a water prison that firmly locked him in place.

I was utterly shocked.

Everything was fine just a moment ago, and then it was suddenly brought under control!

At this moment, Jue Cai noticed the soil and rocks.

The two sides were initially about two kilometers apart, but later, Tu Shi moved closer to make it easier to work, and now they are only a few hundred meters apart, and can only see each other as small black dots.

With the aid of spiritual perception, the earth and rocks were able to take in the desperate situation.

It was different for Jue; he only discovered the soil and rocks after he was controlled.

There was no way Zetsu could detect Tsuchishi; he was using the Concealment Technique, his chakra aura was firmly locked, and Zetsu couldn't sense him at all. It was only because Tsuchishi used ninjutsu that his chakra aura was exposed, allowing Zetsu to find him.

It was by no means a vegetarian; although it lacked spiritual perception, its eyesight was excellent, allowing it to recognize the earth and rocks from such a distance.

"Soil and rocks!"

Tsuchishi is someone who has fought against Tailed Beasts many times, and most importantly, the other party has collected the body of the Eight-Tails, so Zetsu would naturally pay close attention to Tsuchishi.

However, Tu Shi's whereabouts have always been very secretive. Even Jue only knows about Tu Shi's appearance and methods, but has no way of knowing where he is.

"Water Escape·Water Explosion"

Black Zetsu is a very mysterious existence in the entire ninja world. Even though there is a lot of information about Black Zetsu, very little is known about his weaknesses.

The claim that someone is weak and full of flaws is just a joke.

Black Zetsu is weak? You should take a look at what kind of characters were active in the later stages of Naruto.

Black Zetsu existed for a thousand years merely as a form of will. Even with poor talent and limitations, he must have mastered a great deal.

After the fusion, Zetsu's strength is at least Kage-level, especially in group battles. His Spore Technique not only has a wide area of ​​effect but also provides him with chakra. Considering the unpredictability of his abilities, it's not impossible for him to gain the upper hand against a Kage-level opponent. In short, his survival skills, reconnaissance abilities, and the unpredictability of his powers make it entirely plausible to call Zetsu a Kage-level fighter. It's like a kind of unorthodox method; he might not seem strong, but his danger level is incredibly high—he's hard to kill and hard to catch.

Tu Shi's attack on Black Zetsu was certainly not without purpose.

Although Black Zetsu's overall strength has reached the Kage level, it still poses no threat to Tsuchishi, who knows his methods.

But the other party was ultimately too mysterious. Everyone wanted to investigate what methods could possibly harm him.

This is quite important for Tsuchishi, after all, Black Zetsu is someone who can merge with and control enemies spiritually, and during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he even controlled Obito to perform the Rinne Rebirth Technique.

If Black Zetsu's other methods are weak, this technique for controlling others is completely different; it's a technique of a very high level! Or rather, Black Zetsu's own will is too advanced, so it has a great amplification when using this technique.

Regardless of the reason, it's something to be wary of.

We must find a way to harm Black Zetsu.

Permanent damage!

By analyzing the water and the soil, it can be determined that there is no water in the other person's body.

Or rather, Black Zetsu's body contains no water.

White Zetsu are still normal living beings.

If you can't attack Black Zetsu's true form, it's almost impossible to harm him. The only way is to seal him away with a sealing technique. But even then, it still won't hurt him.

"Soul or spirit?"

"Soul Sealing Seal"

Although Zetsu possessed Kage-level strength, it was clearly insufficient against Tsuchishi, who subdued him in just a few moves.

Black Zetsu suddenly shuddered, realizing that he had encountered a formidable opponent this time, who actually intended to seal him away!

As it turns out, this "cowardly" creature has a fairly high sense of crisis, no wonder it has been cowardly for thousands of years.

Upon realizing the danger, Black Zetsu immediately broke away from White Zetsu and fled underground.

"Hmph, do you think you can get away?"

Tu Shi completed the spell in his hand and struck towards Hei Jue.

"what!"

Black Zetsu screamed, its black body splitting in two, the larger part touching the ground as it frantically fled.

"Tsk tsk, short tail for survival."

Tu Shi shook his head, helpless.
