The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Try this trick."

Hui raised his spear and used it to draw upon natural energy, slashing downwards at an angle.

A slashing beam of light appeared, resembling the sword energy, heading towards the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

As if sensing the danger of this attack, Samehada emitted a sharp cry and vibrated violently, making it impossible for Suigetsu Hobutsuki to swing it for a moment.

In a split second, the slash arrived. Suigetsu Hobutaki never expected Samehada to betray him.

It wasn't actually a betrayal; Samehada was just vibrating involuntarily.

More importantly, the previous multiple blocks had already caused Suigetsu Hobuki's wrist to become numb, which led to this shock becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Suigetsu-yama Fugu-doki, dead!

Hui was also quite surprised.

He died like that?

Is Samehada a bit of a jinx to its owner? Especially during life-or-death situations, Samehada always seems to have problems.

"But so what? I don't need Samehada to fight anyway, it's just for research."

While thinking, Hui's hands didn't stop moving.

"Still want to leave? Stay here!"

The seven swords of Kirigakure all possess sentience, and each successor must be recognized by the sword itself to wield them. Furthermore, the Second Mizukage created summoning scrolls for the swords, allowing them to exist in a form similar to summoned beasts.

Once its master dies, the ninja sword will be taken back by Kirigakure.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist suffered heavy losses earlier, with four dying almost instantly. Nearly half an hour had passed, and Kirigakure reacted in time to retrieve the swords.

At the same time, he has been trying to summon the remaining three ninja swords to determine the fate of the remaining three.

At this time, with the death of Suigetsu Hobutaki, Samehada was summoned by Kirigakure.

A ninja sword doesn't necessarily need to be bound to a master to become a spirit. Possessing the scroll is sufficient.

However, to use it smoothly, you need the approval of the ninja sword.

Hui came here to seize Samehada, so how could he possibly watch it be taken back by Kirigakure?

In an instant, a barrier unfolded, covering Hikaru and Samehada. The barrier's isolating power erupted, preventing Kirigakure from summoning Samehada.

Spiritualism is nothing more than a summoning through the soul.

At this moment, the barrier had already isolated the soul.

The soul can even transcend space and time. Just like when Uchiha Kiyoshi traveled to the future, his main body and clone, separated in two different timelines, could still communicate. This is why the Flying Thunder God Technique is called a space-time ninjutsu, because it is a technique developed based on the Summoning Technique, using the soul as the premise for location and summoning, and can truly locate space and time.

However, that's assuming no other means are used; it's still possible to isolate the soul.

This is because Uchiha Kiyoshi's research on the soul was profound enough to develop such a sealing technique; otherwise, others might not have been able to develop such a sealing technique.

Of course, this only isolates the aura of the soul, not the two parts of the soul.

Spiritual communication is simply the connection between two souls, enabling them to sense each other's soul aura and thus achieve spatial summoning.

While isolating the soul's aura, Hui's barrier also isolates the space itself.

This was also just in case. His research on the soul was indeed quite profound, but he couldn't be careless. After all, he hadn't even developed the visualization technique yet, which meant his understanding of the soul was still insufficient. Therefore, just in case, he also needed to isolate him spatially.

"Hmm, speaking of visualization techniques, it seems we need to speed things up. Judging from the current situation, everything is happening ahead of schedule, and we also need to accelerate the cultivation of the soul. It seems that the Soul Nourishing Technique is no longer sufficient."

Sheath the Samehada sword and seal it in a scroll, then inscribe a spell on the scroll that has the same effect as the barrier.

Hui thought about what he had done in such a short time and realized that he seemed to have gone a bit too far, so he decided to tone it down.

With the five members of the Kaguya clan plus Suigetsu Fuguki, Kaguya indeed killed quite a few high-level Kirigakure fighters.

Especially this Suigetsu Fuguki, who was the truly loyal type and a potential Kage-level genius, being killed by Kaguya is no small matter.

Fortunately, Might Guy had recently killed four similar individuals by himself; otherwise, without a comparison, Hui's actions this time would have seemed a bit excessive.

Next, Hui began to wander around the battlefield, using his mental perception. If he encountered an enemy who was a Jonin, he would avoid them from a distance and not engage in conflict. If it was a team of Genin or Chunin, he would kill them casually.

......

On the other side of the battlefield, Shin broke away from the other Kirigakure Jonin teams, secretly shared memories with Hikaru, and headed towards the location of the Hyuga main family disciples.

We don't necessarily have to succeed this time, but it's still necessary to prepare in advance.

While the real person was heading to the Hyuga main family's location, he also left behind a shadow clone to fight on the battlefield in his place.

His true strength is not much different from that of Hui and the others; he is one of the best among the Kage-level ninjas. However, the strength he has revealed to the outside world is only that of an elite Jonin, and one shadow clone is enough.

At the edge of the battlefield, six Konoha ninjas had just finished fighting and were recovering.

Upon closer inspection, five of the six people had bandages wrapped around their foreheads, seemingly to cover something, while the ninja in the very center had no bandages and his smooth forehead was exposed.

Five guards and one resting – such treatment is truly exceptional.

From the fleeting glances the five men cast at the man's smooth forehead, it was easy to discern their envy and respect. These six were Hyuga ninjas; the one in the middle was a member of the main family, while the five guards around him were members of the branch family. Their mission was to accompany this "crown prince" on his training.

The six were all young, the oldest being only sixteen years old, while Hyuga Hikaru, who was surrounded in the middle, was a thirteen-year-old disciple of the main family.

However, among the six, the youngest is not Hyuga Hikari. There is another one, Hyuga Ten, who is two years younger than Hyuga Hikari. He is only eleven years old this year and has outstanding talent. Despite being the youngest, he has the strongest strength among the guards.

Unfortunately, it was a split family. No matter how talented they were, they were destined to obey the main family's arrangements. Otherwise, the punishment of being a caged bird was something not everyone could bear.

"Young Master Guang is indeed worthy of being from the main family. At the age of thirteen, he was already able to kill three Chunin by himself without being seriously injured. Back then, we had a hard time even dealing with one Chunin."

A Hyuga ninja looked at the corpse not far away and sighed.

They were there to train with Hyuga Hikari. When they encountered enemies within her control, Hyuga Hikari would handle them, while the guards were responsible for dealing with any enemies beyond her capabilities. In the recent battle, only Hyuga Hikari sustained some damage, which explained the situation of five guarding one person.

Otherwise, even if it's the main family, so what? These branch family disciples are here to protect him. They also need to rest after expending energy. If they don't rest, and if they encounter too many enemies later and these guards are not capable of fighting, then this member of the main family will also die.

As for enemies beyond their numbers, that's not their task as guards; that's left to others.

The three Chunin from Kirigakure who just joined forces were a force that even elite Chunin would have had a hard time dealing with, yet Hyuga Hikaru killed them with almost no injuries, which means he must have at least the strength of a Special Jonin.

"Xiao Tian is not bad either. In the battle before last, he killed two Chunin all by himself."

The Hyuga main family and branch family differ not only in status, but also in the education they receive. Hyuga Hikaru is the grandson of the Grand Elder and has many renowned teachers, while Hyuga Ten is merely a branch family disciple. Even with his exceptional talent, he cannot compare to the guidance he receives from Hyuga Hikaru.

There are also differences in the clan's Gentle Fist techniques that can be learned. Hyuga Hikari was able to learn various Gentle Fist techniques from the age of six. For Hyuga Ten to obtain the same techniques, not only would he have to pay a considerable price, but he would also have to start training almost one or two years later than Hyuga Hikari.

Even so, Hyuga Ten possessed the ability to kill two Chunin on his own at the age of eleven.

Another very important point is that the period of fastest physical development for people in the ninja world is from the age of twelve to fifteen or sixteen. During this period, their physical abilities, chakra reserves, taijutsu, and so on improve the fastest.

Hinata Hikaru has already experienced a year of rapid improvement!

Careful calculations suggest that Hyuga Hikaru's strength at age eleven was at least no greater than Hyuga Ten's.

"Ugh!"

Unfortunately, it was a separation.

The Caged Bird technique also has side effects; not only is the Byakugan damaged, but even one's talent is affected. Yet, even so, Hyuga Ten is still no weaker than Hyuga Hikari despite having fewer resources.

pity.

The family system is too unfriendly to the division of the family.

Why is the Hyuga inferior to the Uchiha?

There are too many talented disciples of the branch family whose talents have been buried!

Even if a genius comparable to Madara Uchiha were to emerge, what then? His foundation would be destroyed by a caged bird, and this genius would inevitably become arrogant. After being punished several times by the main family, even the most talented person would be worn down.

While the group was discussing, one of the focal points of the conversation—Hyuga Ten—was diligently carrying out his guard duty, observing every blade of grass and tree around him.

However, the occasional glances he gave Hinata Hikari still revealed the same envy as the others.

His gaze was more complex, a mixture of envy and resentment.

On what grounds?

Why should the main family and the branch family be treated so differently when they split up?

Why should I, as a fellow member of the Hyuga clan, be inherently inferior to the other?

Among all the ninja clans in the ninja world, which one would want to put a shackle on their own family like the Hyuga, a shackle that can punish or take the lives of others at any time!

As a genius, he naturally suffered the pain of the Caged Bird Syndrome, even though he hadn't done anything wrong. The main family had repeatedly subjected him to so-called "discipline" simply as a form of intimidation.

He hates!

But he knew even better that he couldn't show it.

Otherwise, that shackle could take his life at any moment.

For some reason, he felt a deep sadness about his fate.

Chapter 296 Real Observation

The Byakugan of Hyuga has a powerful detection effect, and even the real one cannot get too close.

The exact range of the Byakugan's detection is unknown, even though Akira spent so many years in Konoha and knew Hyuga Hizashi, he still didn't know this.

All I know is that this distance is very far. Several kilometers is normal.

Especially the main family, whose Byakugan is of high purity and has never been damaged, naturally have much stronger abilities.

While it's not entirely accurate to say that the Byakugan's observation range is all-encompassing, this range is actually controlled by the ninja themselves. Through long-term use, subconsciously, they won't extend the Byakugan's detection range underground.

There was some downward exploration, but not much.

After all, if it were a comprehensive exploration centered on the caster, then half of the area would be underground.

This kind of situation is thankless and exhausting.

Therefore, they mainly focus on exploring the 360 ​​or 359 degrees on the same horizontal line, spreading outwards by more than ten meters, forming a disc-shaped exploration range.

"Earth Element Technique"

It was unclear how deep the Hyuga group had explored the underground, so to be on the safe side, he sank about thirty meters underground before approaching Hyuga Hikaru and the others.

At the same time, spiritual perception provides coverage and guides the way to truth.

Spiritual Perception - Hidden Version

Natural energy envelops and diffuses chakra, and only releases its hold after the chakra disintegrates. In this way, when using spiritual perception with the help of natural energy, one's own chakra will not be perceived.
