The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Previously, no one would have asked Dai to defend against the enemy, as they were unaware of Dai's strength. However, with Dai's sudden burst of power, the revelation of the Eight Gates, and the discovery that Might Dai could open the Eight Gates, everything changed.

Would Dai disobey the village's orders?

No, Kai was trained by him, and Kai's actions have already made it very clear.

The village's mission is to complete the Hokage's orders.

Hui couldn't save Matt Day.

It's not for any other reason than that they're not on the same side.

Different stances.

......

Mighty was exhausted, and his body, after being burned for a long time, turned into ash and charred black.

The remaining three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were terrified and fled in panic, their fear impossible to conceal.

Furthermore, neither Kibi no Juzo nor another person had any intention of returning to Kirigakure at this point.

They were so terrified that they had to hide.

They will resume their activities after this war is over.

A rogue ninja?

So what? It's better than being dead.

Who knows if Konoha still has such beings? An ordinary genin unleashing power comparable to a god, even if only for such a short time, is still terrifying.

They dare not gamble.

Even now, the mere thought of what had happened before fills them with terror—the sight of their comrades being reduced to bloody mists...

After a long journey, Hui's main body was quite close to this place. Following the instructions of his shadow clone, he headed straight for the direction in which Suigetsu Hozuki had fled.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "This time, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are truly wiped out."

Two survived, but both betrayed the cause.

That's quite tragic.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist went to the battlefield for the first time, and their ending was so tragic. It's pitiful.

However, despite feeling sorry for Kirigakure, Hikaru showed no mercy.

With the guidance of his shadow clones, Hui successfully located the Watermelon Pufferfish.

Their whereabouts were confirmed throughout the journey, and there was no place where they could not be investigated.

"Go ahead and see who that person was."

From the shadow clone, Hui knew that when Might Guy unleashed the Eight Gates, someone else was secretly observing him, just like him.

It must have been his excitement that caused his breathing to become unstable, which is why Hui noticed it.

At that time, Teru only had time to leave a mark on the other person, and then did not look for that person in order not to lose Suigetsu Fuguki.

However, if the marker is there, then it can be found.

It's still worth knowing about this hidden entity.

Being able to conceal Hui's shadow clones means he's at least at the Kage level.

The shadow clone left, while Hikaru's main body intercepted Suigetsu Hozuki.

"Sushiyama Fuguki, I've found you. I've got my eye on your Samehada."

"Damn it, you bastard!"

Suigetsu Hozuki was in a sorry state, having been utterly humiliated by a genin using forbidden techniques. He was already incredibly frustrated, and when someone tried to steal his Samehada sword, he flew into a rage.

Even the enraged Suigetsu Fuguki didn't recognize Teru's identity.

"Water Escape: Water-Severing Waves"

He opened his mouth and spat out a high-pressure jet of water, slicing it towards the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.

"This is... you are Hikaru from Konoha!"

Through Hikaru's technique, Suigetsu Hozuki finally recognized Hikaru's identity.

At this moment, countless "grass mud horses" (a type of wild beast) were galloping through the mind of Suigetsu Hobuki. First, he encountered a perverted genin and was almost beaten to a pulp. He had just escaped death and had not yet enjoyed the joy of surviving when he encountered an enemy he could not defeat.

If the other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had been present before, Suigetsu Fuguki might have been confident in fighting Hikaru. But now he was alone and knew he couldn't possibly defeat Hikaru. His escape from Dai wasn't just due to luck; he also had a very clear understanding of himself.

Hui didn't waste any words. He had no interest in chatting with Suigetsu Hozuki. Right now, all he wanted was to get Samehada and then slack off and end the battle.

Suigetsu Hobutsu took off his large sword, shook off the bandages on the blade, revealing the sharkskin beneath.

It is covered with layers of shark scales, and the blade is serrated like a shark's teeth, with the tip shaped like a shark's head.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon held his knife horizontally, while the shark's mouth aimed at Hikaru's water-cutting waves.

The ability to absorb chakra is activated!

"Ok?"

How can it absorb all of this?

It can even absorb chakra that has already been activated by ninjutsu, and what it absorbs is the water flow transformed from the form of the Water Release chakra.

As Hui sensed that the connection to that part of the chakra seemed to be forcibly severed, his hands did not stop at all.

It cannot be severed.

Given how powerful Uchiha Kiyoshi's soul was, and how incredibly resilient his spiritual energy was, it would be virtually impossible to completely sever his connection with chakra.

It's just that it's out of control, not that it's absorbed all at once.

However, Hui could also sense that his perception of that part of the chakra was constantly weakening, probably due to assimilation and absorption.

It seems that Samehada's so-called absorption of chakra is actually the assimilation of spiritual energy.

Indeed, ninjas don't actually have anything special about chakra; chakra is simply energy formed by the fusion of spiritual and cellular energy. The connection with ninjas comes from the soul energy within their spiritual energy.

This has a negligible impact on chakra; it merely determines who controls it. The true essence of chakra lies in the fusion of natural energy and the power of rules, in that power of rules itself.

If you erase the soul's aura and replace it with another person's soul aura, then chakra can also be absorbed.

"However, how was this thing erased? Also, my control over chakra was indeed directly severed just now, but I can still sense that part of the chakra, and the sense is getting weaker and weaker. What method was used to sever it?"

Hui also knew that the most crucial points were these two: the means to erase the soul's aura and change its aura, and the means to temporarily sever the control between the chakra and its original owner.

"It seems we still need to study Samehada."

Suddenly, Hui felt that he might have really found the reason why the Otsutsuki clan could absorb ninja chakra.

The principle is definitely the same, only the methods differ. Samehada requires time, while the Otsutsuki clan's methods are more like instantaneous plunder. Perhaps, they are different in some way!

The reason must lie in their souls!

Perhaps this relates to the truth about the Otsutsuki's immortality!

Otsutsuki, the soul. I never imagined that chakra absorption could involve these things.

"Everything has become interesting."

Samehada may be a weakened version of the Otsutsuki's characteristics, which is why it can absorb other people's chakra, but not very efficiently.

Actually, Samehada has a high absorption efficiency, but Hikaru's case is a bit special.

His chakra is extremely pure, directly fused from purified natural energy, and is on the same quality level as Sage Chakra, making it inherently difficult to absorb.

In addition, Hui's senses were quite sharp, and he clearly noticed the changes even in a short period of time.

Although I said it was slow, it actually only took a few seconds for the shark's shoulder to be completely digested.

"In that case, let's fight using physical techniques."

Chakra can be absorbed, but natural energy cannot.

This may stem from the near-perfect fusion of natural energy, making it difficult for even Samehada or Otsutsuki to damage its internal structure.

This is why Sage Chakra possesses the characteristic of being unabsorbable.

"The fact that Sage Chakra cannot be absorbed also indicates that this method is macroscopic."

Otherwise, it could completely absorb the unexpected portion of natural energy within the Sage Chakra.

Since we can't absorb natural energy, let's fight using natural energy.

It seems that we will need to develop methods to mobilize natural energy in the future.

By engraving all the techniques into one's soul and possessing the means to directly mobilize natural energy, perhaps one can fight the Otsutsuki without any scruples, without worrying about having one's chakra absorbed or anything like that.

He held a long spear formed entirely of natural energy, and a thin film of natural energy covered his body.

If all else fails, I'll try to get into the habit of updating three times a day for the next couple of days, and then I'll increase the word count later.

Chapter 295 Hinata

Hui's body was covered in natural energy, preventing any contact between chakra and Samehada.

With the techniques of Instantaneous Movement, Propulsion, and Explosive Fist, Hikaru instantly appeared in front of Suigetsu Hozuki.

He brought his spear down.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon parried with a large sword.

The moment the blades clashed, Suigetsu Hobuki felt a tremendous force from the blade, and his entire body involuntarily sank.

"What immense power."

That wasn't all. Hui swung his spear down again and again, forcing the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon to constantly parry with his sword.

Hui's every strike was powerful and heavy; to block it, one not only had to withstand the enormous force but also the shock.

At this point, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was already in extreme discomfort.

The force of each strike, combined with the vibrations from the Samehada sword, made him feel as if he could barely hold on.

After another downward slash, Hui seized the opportunity to swing his spear horizontally.

Suigetsu Hozuki raised his greatsword to block, but was sent flying by Hikaru's attack.
