The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

It turns out there's such a kind of energy in the ninja world.

"However, natural energy is extremely violent, and ordinary people generally cannot perceive it. That's fine, but once you do perceive it, or try to absorb natural energy with the help of external objects, the natural energy will assimilate into your body and eventually become part of nature. Unless you can use a huge amount of chakra to wrap the natural energy and prevent it from coming into contact with your body, but that is extremely difficult. Any mistake will lead to failure."

But once this step is completed, and natural energy is fused with chakra, the ability to perform ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu will be greatly enhanced, and perception will become much sharper.

"Does Senior mean immortal techniques?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't shy away from mentioning Yahiko during his lectures, since Yahiko's system was already well-established and he wasn't worried about Yahiko learning anything from him. Besides, Yahiko's talent in sealing techniques was genuinely lacking.

Honestly, it's not very good.

He didn't understand the sealing technique, but he did understand something about the natural energy.

Isn't this the description of Sage Mode that Jiraiya mastered?

"Yes, Sage Mode is the application of natural energy, which is fused to form Sage Chakra. When activated in a specific way, it will enter a special form, causing certain changes to the body and strengthening certain abilities."

"Because the assimilation of natural energy is too dangerous, and a mistake can lead to death, such an ability cannot be cultivated by an individual. Only the three holy lands have methods to expel natural energy from the body in time, thus allowing for multiple attempts."

"And what about you, teacher? Have you mastered Sage Mode too?"

Hyuga Ten seemed unusually interested in improving his strength. After hearing about the benefits of Sage Mode, he also became interested in whether Uchiha Kiyoshi had mastered it.

Yahiko was also very curious. According to Uchiha Kiyoshi's explanation, the training of Sage Mode seemed to be quite difficult, but he clearly had a way to control natural energy, and it didn't seem to be difficult for him. So, he must have mastered Sage Mode as well?

"No, Sage Mode and Sage Chakra Synthesis are different concepts. Sage Mode is a legacy of the Holy Land and a special method for activating Sage Chakra."

The three sacred sites were all established by summoning beasts. For example, Mount Myōboku was established by a group of toad summoning beasts. When humans practice the Sage Mode they inherit, it causes the user's body to undergo some toad-like changes, such as changes in pupils, eye shadow, and body structure.

Synthetic Sage Chakra simply means possessing a higher quality of chakra; it doesn't alter the body's fundamental attributes.

Since we've come this far, Uchiha Kiyoshi isn't afraid to know in advance what kind of impact this will have on them.

Within the cultivation system, these are merely basic knowledge for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and knowing them in advance will not affect one's "Dao Heart."

On the contrary, knowing these things in advance can broaden their horizons and help them develop a perfect concept, have a clearer understanding of the division of power, and not lose sight of the path ahead in their future cultivation.

He explained the cycle of natural energy, including its purification and transformation into physical energy, and Hyuga Ten and Yahiko were thoroughly entertained.

It turns out that there is such a magical natural energy in the ninja world.

However, only a very few people know about this kind of energy.

Yahiko, the leader of an organization and a Kage-level individual, was unaware of the existence of natural energy. This illustrates how well-hidden information about this energy was. Yet, Uchiha Kiyoshi not only possessed a thorough understanding of natural energy but also developed such a comprehensive theoretical summary of it.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly became mysterious.

"Alright, we'll talk about natural energy later. Future training will definitely involve Sage Chakra, and we certainly won't let go of the chance to increase it several times over."

What you need to do now is master the sealing technique before you can begin formal training.

"What? Teacher, we haven't even started cultivating yet?"

For the past two months, although he had not deliberately practiced Gentle Fist, Hyuga Ten could sense that his strength had been steadily improving.

While learning the basic sealing techniques that Uchiha Kiyoshi taught him, he learned a great deal of skill from them.

There is no such thing as independent knowledge; everything is systematic and interconnected.

The knowledge of ninjutsu and other techniques involved in the basics of sealing techniques is naturally related to chakra and ninjutsu, so Uchiha Kiyosuke also recorded it along with them.

For example, training methods for chakra control are something that sealing techniques also need to practice, but they are also a basic skill for ninjutsu and other similar arts.

The chakra splitting technique inside significantly improves chakra control, which alone makes Hyuga Ten even more adept at using Gentle Fist.

Not to mention, in explaining the sealing technique, it was even compared to the meridians in a ninja's body.

Different techniques have different effects, just like the small circulations of chakra channels.

The detailed explanation captivated Hinata Ten.

Even those who can use the Byakugan to visualize the chakra pathways have not been able to develop such a comprehensive theory as Uchiha Kiyoshi.

The principles of ninjutsu, the principles of hand seals, and so on, have been fully explained.

This isn't just the basics of sealing techniques; it's practically an encyclopedia of ninja training!

Therefore, Hyuga Ten had always thought that his training progress was very fast, but now that his teacher said that he had not even started training, he was naturally very confused.

Uchiha Kiyoshi scoffed, "What is cultivation? Improving combat power? Ridiculous! Even with great strength, one is still subject to the control of fate, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death. What's the point of cultivation then?"

"If you can't escape your destiny, what's the point of cultivation!"

"Remember this: true cultivation is the evolution of life, a comprehensive sublimation, in every aspect—combat power, lifespan..."

Hearing his teacher say such things, Hyuga Ten felt a surge of emotion.

Sublimation and evolution—these descriptions are quite straightforward.

Although it went against his understanding, Hyuga Ten couldn't find any words to deny it.

"The evolution of life..."

Yahiko, who was standing to the side, was also muttering to himself.

I thought the other party was going to talk about sealing techniques, which I wouldn't understand anyway, so I should leave. But instead, I heard this kind of talk.

"I wonder if you have already achieved it, senior?"

What is being achieved? Naturally, it's what we call evolution, what we call sublimation!

"Without relying on any means or having any side effects, I can live at my peak for at least two hundred years!"

Chapter 303 Concept

Uchiha Kiyoshi's answer was like a bolt from the blue for the two of them.

Humans can live for two hundred years!

Moreover, he survived at his peak!

this......

Hyuga Ten and Yahiko stared at each other in disbelief, speechless for a moment.

"What's so strange about that? The immortals of the three holy lands are all people who have lived for at least a thousand years. Living a long time is not unheard of."

Although saying this comforted them both... what a load of rubbish!

Is this supposed to be comforting?

You're just making it clear that your goal is to live at least a thousand years like those three!

And what about us? We are pathetic people who didn't even know it could be like this, and didn't even understand the meaning of cultivation!

Yes, poor thing.

With a self-deprecating laugh, Yahiko finally understood.

So this is how cultivation must have come about.

Blindly being powerful is only a fleeting moment of glory.

But isn't fleeting beauty just fine? What difference does it make how long you live?

Achieving peace in the ninja world and benefiting everyone—isn't that more meaningful than achieving immortality?

Hyuga Ten didn't share Yahiko's ideals, and his reactions were completely different. At this time, many of his perceptions were changed by Uchiha Kiyoshi.

He, too, sought immortality.

Breaking free from the constraints of one's own lifespan is, in essence, taking control of one's destiny!

......

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't give them much time; today's main task wasn't these things, but the sealing technique.

Only by mastering the sealing technique can the genius Hyuga cultivate his own health preservation techniques, body tempering techniques, and the path to immortality.

Unlike the previous introduction, the following instruction was too time-consuming, and Uchiha Kiyoshi also needed to train, specifically in the form of body tempering and soul nourishment that only his physical body could perform.

Kiyoshi created a shadow clone to teach Hyuga Ten, and began his daily training.

At the same time, he was also thinking about his own important business.

Shadow clones are known as a cultivation cheat code, capable of increasing cultivation speed, but they still have drawbacks.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had also thoroughly studied this technique, knowing that it was an alternative application of the soul, simply utilizing the soul that ninjas had not been able to use.

But ultimately, it's just a connection at a single point, and the shadow clone's autonomy is limited. When it comes to truly groundbreaking work, the shadow clone might not be able to accomplish it.

It's like the distribution of spirituality is limited. The main body is the most spiritual, while the shadow clone, no matter how much it has its own consciousness, still has limited spirituality. It can cultivate and live a normal life, but it's a bit difficult to do a lot of thinking.

Moreover, once one has cultivated to a certain level and can fully develop their soul, shadow clones are no longer of much use in terms of thinking.

The amount of thought of a single entity cannot be divided into so many shadow clones.

However, at this stage, shadow clones still have their uses.

He may lack spirituality, but he can still perform tasks that require experience.

Alternatively, it would be easier to delegate tasks with templates to shadow clones. For example, after Uchiha Kiyoshi developed Lava Release, he essentially perfected the theory of bloodline limits, and the shadow clones' job was mostly to perform simple, imitation-based tasks.

Moreover, even if the work is too difficult or the spirituality is insufficient, the workload can be reduced by sending out more shadow clones to complete different parts of the same task, and there is no need to worry that they will not be able to finish it.

The reason why the clones have always been normal is entirely because Uchiha Kiyoshi strengthened the connection between them and the shadow clones. The spiritual energy they received was tilted, and the clones were also able to use secondary shadow clones. When developing new techniques and bloodline limits, they could share the workload.

The clones were only enhanced, while the regular shadow clones were not. Naturally, they became more intelligent, had more thoughts, and more memories. However, the number of shadow clones that could be maintained at the same time would also decrease. Uchiha Kiyoshi still needed a lot of simple, easy operations to accumulate experience, so he naturally wouldn't do something like this.

Shadow clones have limitations in their spirituality, which restricts their thinking. Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi did most of the truly groundbreaking work himself. At most, he would delegate some tasks after the framework was established to his clones or shadow clones.

At this moment, the most important thing for Uchiha Kiyoshi was naturally to pave the way for the future.

Foundation building was his idea from the beginning, with the goal of returning to the innate state after being acquired. But what about after that? How would he proceed to the next level?

Should we follow the path of cultivating the Golden Core in immortality, or find another way?

At least for now, Uchiha Kiyoshi has chosen the path of the Golden Core.

However, the Golden Elixir is formed by the condensation of essence, energy, and spirit.

He did manage to match these elements together: essence (精) refers to the body or bodily energy, qi (气) refers to chakra, and spirit (神) refers to the soul.

By combining these three elements and condensing the golden core, Uchiha Kiyoshi's mind was now in complete disarray.

How can one achieve oneness and melt one's body into a great golden elixir?
