The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Of course, this won't work, but how exactly should we do it?

"Golden Core, Golden Core, the unity of essence, energy and spirit, it is impossible to really fuse all the soul and body, it should refer to their original power, that is, the energy of the body and the power of the soul, to fuse them into a great Golden Core."

But where can this golden core be fused?

It seems to be in the dantian, but I don't have that in my ninja world body.

......"

"Perhaps, we could try doing it in the sea of ​​consciousness? Condensing the Golden Core within the sea of ​​consciousness? That seems worth a try. Cultivating at the Golden Core realm involves the fusion of the three, integrating the rules into the Golden Core. To achieve this, spiritual energy is required. In that case, recording it directly would be no problem."

Otherwise, I would have to consider how to inscribe my insights on the golden elixir in my dantian.

The Nascent Soul realm, which follows the Golden Core stage, directly cultivates the primordial spirit and soul; in principle, it's flawless within the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Let's continue developing it like this for now. The direction shouldn't be too wrong. The difficulty lies in how to complete the condensation of the Golden Core."

While practicing the Soul Nourishing Technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi once again thought about the gap in his soul.

"There is still a wisp of the soul's essence in the Pure Land. If possible, we should retrieve it. Otherwise, if the golden core we condense is not perfect, it will make the path ahead difficult, which would be troublesome."

Uchiha Kiyoshi forged his own path, which was already incredibly difficult. If he didn't lay a solid foundation, things would get very tough later on.

The Golden Elixir must be the best.

"Pure Land, at worst we can summon the Grim Reaper and see if we can make a deal."

However, it's best not to provoke beings like the Grim Reapers, and even better, not to reveal my existence. These guys don't care about the future of the ninja world; their only need is souls. Who knows, they might actually take a liking to my soul later.”

Uchiha Kiyoshi was quite self-aware. He knew about his own soul; he was an "extraterrestrial visitor," his soul was entirely new, and its origin was the most abundant, possessing all possibilities. Perhaps the temptation to the Grim Reaper would be immense.

If we manage to provoke the Grim Reaper and his ilk, who are indifferent to worldly affairs in the ninja world, then the ninja world will truly descend into chaos.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't believe they were truly unable to leave the Pure Land. Those who had cultivated to that level all possessed some means to break free from the constraints of the rules.

"I need to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique. I wonder if reverse Impure World Reincarnation is even possible, to summon my soul back to the Pure Land..."

Another possibility is that, upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, one could directly control their soul to search for a Pure Land, guided by the perception between souls. However, the risks and success rate of doing so were too low, so Uchiha Kiyoshi did not consider it.

......

The Land of Fire.

Fire and Earth Battlefield, Konoha Frontline.

Thanks to Minato Namikaze's intervention, Konoha was able to hold back the advance of the Iwagakure army, albeit at a certain cost.

Two months ago, not long after Hui went to the battlefield of water and fire, Shinichi Aburame arrived here with the remaining ninjas from the Land of Rivers.

With the support they received, the situation here has greatly improved.

However, Iwagakure's mass troop buildup is really unfriendly to Konoha in its current situation. In just two months, both sides have suffered heavy losses, but it is clear that Konoha's endurance is not good, and now the number of people has begun to decline.

The rate at which villages are being replenished has dropped to almost nothing, far below the rate at which losses are occurring, and the number of people on the front lines is decreasing at an extremely rapid pace.

Moreover, this is different from the battlefield of water and fire. There, with Hikaru in command and multiple water-severing waves deployed, as long as Konoha contracts its battle lines and holds its ground, its losses can be quite small. This is not the case here. Minato Namikaze cannot achieve Hikaru's level, and the rate of loss of Konoha ninja remains consistently high.

The lack of manpower on the front lines greatly increased the pressure of the mission. As Minato Namikaze's direct subordinates, Team 7 naturally followed Minato Namikaze in various emergency rescue operations, and the past two months have been extremely difficult.

Especially Obito, because of Akira's reminder, Minato Namikaze finally hardened his heart and gave Obito a really difficult task during the battle. He would push Obito to his limit every time, making him experience life and death moments repeatedly, all to temper his will.

Of course, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze could still save the day in a battle of Obito's caliber.

That incident in the original story was truly an accident. Even though Minato Namikaze's limits were perfectly calculated by Madara Uchiha, he simply couldn't arrive in time.

In addition, Minato Namikaze was only training Obito, not really trying to kill him. If there was a real possibility that he couldn't arrive in time, he would give Obito a little easier time, or give Kakashi an easy task so that he could support Obito at any time.

After trying several times, Minato Namikaze discovered that the last method worked unexpectedly well. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out the principle behind it.

Obito's life was truly "fulfilling" for two months.

If it weren't for the double guarantee from Minato Namikaze and Akira, which would have been beneficial for him to open his eyes, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

With Kakashi's occasional subtle provocations, Obito ultimately persevered.

"Haha, Kakashi, I think you're just jealous of me. I've already sensed it recently. My Sharingan is already stirring, and it won't be long before I awaken it. Then you can just wait for Obito's beating."

Obito arrogantly uttered some harsh words.

Kakashi rolled his eyes. "What the hell? The Sharingan needs excitement. What kind of excitement have you been up to lately?"

Chapter 304 Yellow Flash

Surprisingly, Kakashi's provocation of Obito didn't result in a fight, indicating that it was effective.

It might not be as exaggerated as Obito said.

"Alright, you two quiet down. Minato-sensei is here; he probably has another mission."

Not far away, Minato Namikaze walked over, looking exhausted.

"The situation on the front lines is not good recently. We have another mission to complete. This mission is far more dangerous than the previous ones. You need to be mentally prepared."

The fact that no specific task was mentioned suggests that this mission is quite important.

The three members of Team 7 did not try to refuse the mission despite its difficulty. Even Obito started thinking about how to persevere during the mission and how he was determined to awaken his Sharingan.

As Minato Namikaze's students, they enjoyed many conveniences in many ways, and naturally, they also had to carry out various dangerous missions with Minato.

Fortunately, all three possess considerable talent. Although they've only graduated a few years ago and are just twelve years old, their strength is already quite formidable. Obito and Rin already possess elite Chunin-level combat power. Working together, with Obito handling the frontal attacks and Rin providing healing and support, they might even have a chance to defeat a Special Jonin. Kakashi's combat power is even stronger. At only eleven years old, he has already earned the title of Special Jonin. Combined with his intelligent mind and ingenious strategies, his overall strength is among the strongest of the Special Jonin.

While these three individuals couldn't contribute much to Minato's battles, they still played a significant role in the mission. Minato was responsible for enemies of Jonin rank or higher, while Team 7 handled the remaining enemies and other aspects of the mission, such as intelligence gathering and target destruction.

Moreover, all three are currently in their physical development stage, and their strength will definitely increase rapidly in the coming period, thus enhancing their capabilities.

This is also something that makes Minato Namikaze feel gratified.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, all three of them should at least become Special Jonin-level beings after this war.

Three special Jonin aged twelve or thirteen!

I'm definitely proud, after all, he's the one who taught them all, yes, he's the one who taught them all!

Moreover, Kakashi is very likely to become a Jonin by then.

Although following Minato Namikaze on missions is dangerous, the rewards are considerable. After all, most of Minato's missions are A-rank or S-rank, and even if you don't get the main rewards, the benefits are much greater than those from B-rank missions.

During wartime, promotion is the easiest way for ninjas. With Kakashi's current achievements, he is almost qualified to become a Jonin. A few more missions should be enough. As long as his strength improves further and he reaches the combat power of a Jonin, promotion to Jonin will not be a problem at all.

Minato Namikaze wasn't worried about this.

He had high hopes for his disciple's talent. Kakashi wouldn't be stuck at the Jonin level. Kakashi was still young, and his biggest weakness was chakra. But Kakashi was also going through puberty, and the improvement in his physical abilities and chakra would bring him a significant boost. Kakashi might even have the combat power of a Jonin by then.

As for life-or-death breakthroughs, aren't those enough for Kakashi?

Sometimes, a breakthrough in willpower doesn't necessarily require a single success. Repeated life-or-death crises are also a test of willpower.

Not everyone can break through in desperate situations; such people are extremely rare. Moreover, it's not something that can be done simply by having enough talent; it also requires the right timing and circumstances.

War is cruel, and all the ninja villages suffer heavy losses, but danger is also an opportunity. Those who survive the war gain something, more or less. It's not just the outward strength they show, but the tempering of their will and mind that is the greatest hidden benefit.

Otherwise, what is the purpose of every war between the five great ninja villages?

Besides resources, experience is also an important factor.

During wartime, wartime regulations are implemented, making it easier to promote Jonin. In addition, with frequent life-and-death situations in war, there are always a few who can break through. The number of Jonin born during wartime is at least twice that of those born during peacetime.

In a war, many Jonin may die, but newly promoted Jonin will make up for the losses. The real losses are suffered by Chunin and Genin.

However, as long as the high-level combat forces such as Jonin do not suffer major losses overall, the ninja village will not be affected.

"According to intelligence, Iwagakure has begun to organize troops to encircle Konoha. Our mission this time is to deal with the Iwagakure troops in the south."

After a quick packing, Team 7 embarked on their mission with Minato Namikaze. Along the way, Minato began to explain the details of the mission to them.

“I will take care of their Jonin and above first. The rest of the Iwa ninja are yours. According to the reconnaissance, although this Iwa ninja force is only on the scouting side, there are a total of two hundred of them. Your primary task is not to kill the enemy, but to hold them off. Under this premise, your first priority is to ensure your own safety.”

Minato Namikaze repeatedly warned them to be careful, which speaks volumes about the danger of this mission.

Even Obito was listening attentively to Minato Namikaze's admonition at this moment.

Although his overall personality remained unchanged, Obito became much more serious when it came to important matters, which can be considered a significant change.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Minato Namikaze didn't waste any words. He threw out a handful of kunai, which scattered in all directions. Then, his figure disappeared and kept flashing in front of the Iwa ninja, wielding kunai to reap their lives.

In a short time, nearly half of the Iwagakure ninja force was killed by Minato Namikaze.

Horror!

Even the Seventh Squad felt their blood boil at the sight.

Minato Namikaze ultimately felt that there were too many Iwa ninja, which was a bit too much for Team 7 to handle. So, before the strong members of the Iwa ninja could react, he massacred their middle and lower-ranking combatants.

Yes, a massacre.

In an instant, nearly sixty ninjas were killed. Although there were no Jonin among them, most of those killed were Chunin.

Minato Namikaze proved with his strength that he also has a powerful ability to clear the field.

He instantly defeated more than fifty Chunin, yet Minato Namikaze remained unfazed, his chakra still abundant.

In other words, he can do this again.

However, the elite Jonin of Iwagakure also realized what was happening.

"Minato Namikaze!"

Everyone only had time to see a flash of yellow light before half of their comrades were killed. They were filled with rage and desperation. After this battle, perhaps Minato Namikaze's name, "Yellow Flash," would resound throughout the ninja world.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"

Earth Escape Technique: Earth Dragon Bullet

Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm

The Iwagakure faction also attached great importance to this operation, sending three elite Jonin and as many as thirteen Jonin in total!

The earth cracked open, rocks shattered, and clay guns thrust out erratically.

At the same time, the earth surged, and a huge earth dragon rose up, biting towards Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze remained calm in the face of their attacks, using his Body Flicker Technique to dodge them while keeping his kunai ready to be thrown at any moment.

While dodging, Minato Namikaze used his speed to flash in front of an Iwagakure Jonin, condensed a Rasengan in his hand, and pressed it against the opponent's face.
