The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Uchiha Kiyoshi will naturally do this, but he can't just do this.

Konoha's strength has been weakened, but the Uchiha clan has suffered no losses. When the village's strength is no significantly different from the Uchiha clan's, there will be no need to worry about the Uchiha clan being wiped out.

At worst, the Uchiha clan can simply become independent.

Perfect timing! Establishing a new order definitely requires "enforcers." The Uchiha clan has served as the guard force in Konoha for many years and is highly experienced, making them perfectly capable of this position.

After confirming that Yun's injuries were not serious, Hei Shui set off with Yun towards Amegakure.

Amegakure Village.

Nagato carried Yahiko's body all the way to the tallest building in Amegakure, put the body down, and fell into deep thought.

However, summoning the Gedo Mazo had taken too much to bear, and Nagato's body was now extremely weak. Uncontrollably, Nagato collapsed to the ground.

Konan came in, settled Nagato down, and instructed the Akatsuki Jonin to put down the Gedo Mazo and go clean up Amegakure.

The goal is to ensure that Amegakure is completely under the control of the Akatsuki organization.

Chapter 287 Unexpected Changes

Despite the combined efforts of the three parties, news of what happened in the Land of Rain did not spread. The ninja world remained unchanged and in a state of utter chaos.

Perhaps this is why news from the Land of Rain hasn't spread. Because of the chaos, most ninjas were focused on defense and gathering intelligence related to the war, leaving the Land of Rain, a place devastated since World War II, largely unnoticed.

"Natural energy is truly amazing."

Through extensive exploration, Kiyoha Uchiha and his clones have developed a set of techniques specifically for manipulating natural energy. These techniques allow Kiyoha and his clones to easily manipulate natural energy, greatly facilitating their research. However, aside from the main body and the clouds, the other clones still need to inscribe techniques to indirectly control natural energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi recorded everything on his "Path" through spiritual energy, and with the Sage Body he gained after Foundation Establishment, he achieved "direct" control. Yun was even more direct, permanently solidifying the technique within his double pupils, activating it directly when needed.

Even so, studying natural energy has become much easier.

While observing the movements of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, Tsuchishi has been conducting research on the utilization of natural energy.

"Complete natural energy is more powerful than purified natural energy or life force. Perhaps this is the amplification of the unity of the real and the virtual."

Through continuous experimentation, Tsuchishi discovered that regardless of the ninjutsu used, the effect was best when the energy of nature was fully utilized. The combined effect of illusory energy and material energy was obvious.

“Aside from a slight disconnect in control, the complete natural energy is simply perfect.”

Moreover, even when the two energies are separated and then combined to unleash a ninjutsu, their power is still not as great as when they were separated.

"This indicates that there is a problem with my combination."

Natural energy is the most harmonious state of two energies in their natural state, the most perfect fusion, which cannot be compared to the combination of soil and stone themselves.

"but......"

A thought flashed through Tu Shi's mind: "If I can refer to this and continuously improve my combination methods, is there any hope of being able to control and fuse natural energy myself?"

"In this way, it is actually a process of studying the structure of natural energy!"

"Furthermore, considering the fusion of natural energy, the fusion of spiritual and physical energy, and even the fusion of soul and body, could this also be achieved?"

The unity of essence, energy, and spirit leads to the condensation of the golden elixir. How does this so-called unity of essence, energy, and spirit occur?

This was something that Uchiha Kiyoshi had been struggling with, and at this moment, he seemed to have an idea.

Using chakra, which represents "ki," as a bridge, "shen," or soul, is fused with the body's "jing" (essence).

As for the method of integration, isn't the integration of natural energy a perfect reference?

Is there any fusion of natural energy that is more perfect than the final product of natural evolution?

Even if it's not perfect, it's still the most stable!

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to reach a crucial point, the chakra aura emanating from afar pulled Tu Shi back to reality.

At this moment, the earth and rocks were located at the Kannabi Bridge, a crucial passage for the Iwagakure village's army advancing on the Land of Fire.

Black Zetsu was partially sealed by the earth and stone, and would avoid it whenever he saw it. Madara, on the other hand, came out and fought a battle. Although he wasn't seriously injured, the intense battle still put a lot of strain on his body, and he's probably still recovering. Therefore, the earth and stone were completely undetected here.

The appearance of a large number of ninja auras from the West alarmed Tushi.

These are Iwa ninja.

Tu Shi frowned almost imperceptibly.

Sure enough, everything is changing.

The Hidden Stone Village also moved up its pace.

Tushi could understand, after all, now that Sunagakure had been defeated, only the three great ninja villages were left eyeing Konoha. Not to mention that Kumogakure was currently at war, Kirigakure and Iwagakure also had designs on Konoha, so naturally they had formed a tacit understanding.

Since Kirigakure's actions were discovered in advance, the surprise attack could only be carried out by Iwagakure.

After Iwagakure inflicted heavy losses on Konoha, Kirigakure launched a war in response. By suddenly adding two more fronts, Konoha will surely be caught off guard.

In war, there is no right or wrong, no consideration of the means; the final result is what matters most.

Tu Shi used the technique of Annihilation and Resurrection to transmit his recent insights to his main body, while also reminding his clones of Iwagakure's actions.

After learning about this, Hui will not inform Konoha. Knowing so much is only to provide Hui with sufficient information so that he can consider everything that can be considered when doing things.

To be honest, what does the survival of Konoha have to do with Hui?

He is currently merely a spy, constantly gaining the trust of Konoha's higher-ups and outwardly serving Konoha.

Just like the last investigation of Iwagakure, Hui did a very good job, and that was his achievement. As for the subsequent relocation of Iwagakure, it had nothing to do with Hui. The attack by Iwagakure was due to Konoha's inadequate arrangements afterward, and had nothing to do with Hui.

......

On this day, the Hidden Stone Village launched a surprise attack on the Land of Fire.

Caught off guard, the Konoha forces suffered heavy losses and were completely wiped out.

Leaf.

The Hokage's office.

Having received intelligence that the border had been attacked by Iwagakure, Tsunade was extremely frustrated.

These guys are all eyeing Konoha!

After thinking for a long time, Tsunade realized that it seemed that only Hikaru could be mobilized at this time.

It would be difficult for the two Kage-level figures from Kumogakure to stop Abby and her duo, given their incredibly good teamwork. If they kept Hikaru, he might not be able to coordinate well with Orochimaru or Jiraiya. It's better to keep Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who already have excellent synergy.

"Let Minato lead some of the ninjas from the Land of Rivers to provide support."

At the same time, a message was sent to the front lines of the Land of Lightning, instructing Teru to go to the Land of Rivers and take over Minato Namikaze's position.

"What are you standing there for? Write!"

At this moment, Tsunade was extremely agitated. Seeing that Nawaki paused for even a moment, she punched him right in front of his face.

Nawaki was startled and quickly wrote down Tsunade's order on the scroll without hesitation.

However, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why keep moving people around like this? Why not just send Hui to support the Land of Earth?"

"this......

Hui excels in Water Release, which is countered by Earth Release, and most Iwagakure ninjas are proficient in Earth Release, so this kind of disadvantage must be avoided.

Nawaki hesitated, but there was something he didn't say: Hui's earth-escape technique was also very powerful.

However, after looking at the hole in the table in front of him, he chose to keep quiet.

Just listen carefully.

"and......"

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say the other point.

She didn't want Rope Tree to be exposed to these dark aspects.

It's not darkness, it's reality.

She could easily see that the Third Hokage was training Minato Namikaze.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze is indeed very suitable to succeed as Hokage. Both his personality and strength are excellent choices, and given his background as a commoner ninja, he might be even more beneficial to Konoha if he were to take the position.

Over the years, the power of the clans has been suppressed by the third generation. Even the two major clans are now in a passive state, with the Hyuga clan being held back by the guards. It is indeed time to consider the rise of the common people.

Moreover, the three generations of the Minato family all provided positive training.

With Jiraiya's influence, Tsunade genuinely wanted Minato to become the Fourth Hokage.

As for Hui, his background is not exactly clean.

Although it's possible to find out that the person who suddenly appeared is a ninja trained in Konoha, it's best not to expose this identity to the whole village.

Just like the difference between citizens and free people, commoner ninjas are not actually at the lowest level.

Those who didn't pass the entrance exam for the Ninja Academy and could only become ninjas through centralized training in the village were at the very bottom.

Because from the very beginning, they were not qualified to serve as Hokage, elders, or any other similar positions.

Reaching this point step by step, like Hui, is already the highest level.

Going forward, Hui's position will not be promoted, and the village can only compensate him through ninjutsu or other means.

"Ugh!"

Ultimately, in this dog-eat-dog world, how can there be absolute fairness?

Chapter 288 Konoha's Crisis

Upon receiving the order to replace Minato Namikaze so that he could leave for the Iwagakure battlefield, Teru had no objections.

These were all expected.

The key point is that Hui really has absolutely no interest in Naruto or anything like that.

The workload of the village's kage was enormous. The third kage was at least twenty years older than Danzo. Onoki suffered from chronic back problems, and it seems that Mei Terumi was the same. They all became old women afterward.

Hey, whoever wants to be this can be it.

Hui's travel speed remained as fast as ever. He'd already demonstrated this ability before, so he didn't care what others thought; he just needed to travel as fast as he could. As long as no one saw that he could fly, there wouldn't be any major trouble.

"Hui, I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you with things here."
