The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

He spat out a fireball three meters long, aiming it at a Jonin of the Kaguya clan.

Obito's awakening of the Double Tomoe Sharingan greatly enhanced his control over chakra, and Fugaku Uchiha's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan naturally also had similar benefits.

At this moment, the power of his Fireball Technique also increased greatly.

In fact, it seems that he has been enhanced in some aspect. Even though his level of cultivation in nature change has not changed, his ability to enhance ninjutsu has suddenly increased by a large margin.

Engulfed by the fireball, Kaguya Jonin suffered burns all over her body and was then beheaded by the Uchiha Jonin who was fighting her.

Immediately afterwards, Fugaku Uchiha moved to the Jonin battlefield, eliminating one Jonin after another from the Kaguya clan.

Eventually, the commotion reached the remaining members of the Kaguya clan.

"withdraw!"

Not counting the old clan chief Kaguya, who was lying in ambush, the Kaguya clan had a total of three elite Jonin who came this time, but now only one remains.

The last surviving elite Jonin of the Kaguya clan suddenly sensed an impending crisis and, without hesitation, ordered a retreat.

In the distance, Fugaku Uchiha could be seen, but his two elite Jonin were nowhere to be seen, likely having met with misfortune.

Although Uchiha Yukiya, who was beside Uchiha Fugaku, was nowhere to be found, at least one Uchiha Fugaku survived and was "massacring" the Jonin of the Kaguya clan.

Before long, once the Uchiha clan's Jonin have gathered and reunited, they won't be able to escape anymore.

The Kaguya clan is warlike, but not reckless.

In the ninja world, there are no concepts of benevolence or the necessity to fight to the death. Ninjas, who are already adept at using various methods and whose primary goal is to complete their missions, are normal to retreat when things turn unfavorable.

When Fugaku Uchiha arrived, the last group of Kaguya ninja had already retreated.

Fugaku Uchiha understood the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy. The Uchiha clan had already suffered significant losses, and continuing the pursuit would not be a wise choice.

Especially given the current situation in Konoha, holding firm is the safest approach.

Don't stray too far from the front lines, otherwise, if Kirigakure ambushes us, Hikaru won't be able to provide support.

"Back to the front!"

Fugaku Uchiha led the Uchiha ninja back to the front line, leaving behind the words "Take stock of the casualties" before departing.

At this moment, he was filled with questions.

Having the mindset of a salty fish doesn't mean you have to be a salty fish in everything.

As the clan leader, he still needs to manage the clan's affairs properly.

The death of Uchiha Yuki has indeed put him in a bad mood, and he just wants to be alone right now.

Then go and talk to Hui.

Let's discuss our views on the current situation in Konoha, and see what the other side is really thinking. Do they want to reveal their identity, or drag things out, or do they truly not care about the outcome of the battle in Konoha?

Let's talk about Hui's plans, what his future schemes are, and what his ultimate goals are. Although he knows that Hui identifies with his clan, Fugaku Uchiha knows that this is not Hui's most important goal, and that Hui seems to have his own schemes.

Let's talk about the future of the Uchiha clan. This is also what Fugaku Uchiha is most interested in; as the clan head, nothing concerns him more than the future of his clan.

Although in the original story, Fugaku Uchiha's decision to give up resistance led to the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, it's undeniable that he still had a sense of responsibility towards his family. It was simply the harsh reality, the repeated distrust he faced, and Itachi's choices that drove him to despair.

Perhaps, in the original story, he truly possessed a dojutsu (eye technique) that allowed him to foresee the future, and he saw the future of the Uchiha clan, which ultimately led him to choose to give up. Such a thing wouldn't be believed lightly; it must be the result of repeated verification. For example, the deaths of the Fourth Hokage, Shisui, and other events might have been part of a prophecy. Knowing this, yet watching these events unfold before his eyes, he ultimately succumbed to despair.

But things are different now. At this time, Fugaku Uchiha is still a clan leader with convictions.

What, then, is the future of this family?

"Kiyoshi, although your connection with the Uchiha clan is now negligible, as the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha clan ultimately depends on you."

The idea of ​​a cursed race certainly makes sense.

However, we are also a blessed race.

“No Uchiha lacks the ability to unleash their full potential in dire situations. Even if the clan faces annihilation, there will definitely be a few members who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan under such circumstances.”

Uchiha, immortal!

Chapter 310 Plan

When the casualties of this battle were tallied, Fugaku Uchiha felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Besides Uchiha Sachi, as many as ten Uchiha died in this battle, six of whom were Jonin! Five others were severely injured and rendered unable to fight, three of whom were Jonin. This means that the Uchiha clan lost nine Jonin in this single battle!

Although this battle was somewhat similar to a decisive battle between two families, the losses were still too great.

Fortunately, apart from Uchiha Yuki sacrificing herself to save Uchiha Fugaku, no other elite Jonin were lost.

Elite Jonin are the core fighting force of the clan. Like the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, who possess the Sharingan, can almost all become Jonin if they awaken the three tomoe and persevere for two more years.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan controls the guard force. Although they are restricted, this also presents an opportunity. If ninjas who have awakened the three-tomoe form are transferred to the guard force, then except in emergencies like war, they won't need to follow the village's orders anymore and can simply train in the guard force. Once they become Jonin, their chances of survival will be much higher, and then they can be released.

The Uchiha clan has always done this, and Uchiha Kiyoshi actually had such an opportunity. Within the Uchiha clan, ninjas of Chunin rank and above have the opportunity to apply to join the Guard Force. However, this opportunity isn't for leisure; it's to give you time to focus on training, and you'll be discharged after a few years. Unless the Guard Force voluntarily transfers you there.

The loss was still acceptable, but the death of Uchiha Yuki still saddened Uchiha Fugaku.

The Hidden Mist Village (Mist Village) also seemed to be cooperating with the Kaguya Clan's operation. While the Kaguya Clan launched their attack on the Uchiha, other parts of the Hidden Mist Village also launched fierce attacks, with a large number of Hidden Mist ninja entering the battlefield. However, as the Kaguya Clan retreated, the ninja from other parts of the Hidden Mist Village began to withdraw.

Before long, Hui and other high-ranking officers returned to the front lines.

"This is clearly an operation by Kirigakure targeting the Uchiha clan. The Hyuga clan is likely to be targeted next, so the Hyuga clan leader should prepare in advance."

The Hyuga clan leader nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, everyone can leave now."

The Uchiha clan suffered significant losses this time, and some adjustments to the plans are necessary. Clan Chief Fugaku will stay behind to assess whether any changes are needed in the deployment.

Hui's excuse was just that—an excuse. Everyone present understood that if it really came down to frontline deployments, they would have to stay and express their opinions. Hui's decision to keep Uchiha Fugaku behind was simply because the two of them had something to say to each other privately.

It was common knowledge throughout Konoha that Hui and Fugaku Uchiha had a good relationship. Even before Hui was promoted to Kage level, and even before White Fang died, Hui and Fugaku Uchiha had a good relationship.

Besides, even if they didn't know before, they should have found out by now, after being on the front lines for so long.

"So, how much did you lose this time?"

"Hui, the Uchiha's losses this time are still acceptable, it's just that he... sigh!"

After a moment of silence, Fugaku spoke again, "Kiyoshi, those eyes..."

"The Mangekyou Sharingan? The conditions for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan are indeed harsh, but that's unavoidable. There's always a price to pay for gaining great power, and the price for such sudden power as the Mangekyou Sharingan is naturally even heavier. Besides, other ninjas can't have this ability, so why should we complain? The evolution of the Sharingan wasn't something you deliberately arranged. On the contrary, its evolution has given those who survived great power to kill all enemies. Isn't that a kind of gift?"

Regardless of his true feelings, Teru first offered Fugaku some words of comfort.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent, staring blankly at the ground for a long time, seemingly agreeing with Hikaru's assessment.

Yes, how can the Sharingan be a curse? It's a gift, a gift left by the dead for the living!

Seeing that Fugaku Uchiha's condition had improved, Teru brought up the main point of this meeting.

"Fugaku, did you know? The Nawaki tree has come back to life."

He's resurrected? It seems so. I saw him in the Hokage's office before coming here this time.

Sigh, I never thought I could be resurrected after death.

No, resurrect!

Fugaku Uchiha's heart immediately stirred with excitement.

If they could be resurrected, who would be willing to give it up?

If the Rope Tree has been revived, then who helped revive it?

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha remembered something.

The incident that led to the Third Hokage's abdication and Tsunade temporarily taking over as Hokage.

At the time, Tsunade did not side with the Third Hokage. When she arrived, she only tried to dissuade Akira from his actions and later accepted his proposal.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what happened, but upon closer examination, it became clear that it didn't make any sense.

The rope tree reappeared after that!

"I do possess the art of resurrecting people, but this art comes at a price. The caster must infuse all their life force into the corpse of the person being resurrected, meaning one life for another."

Hui didn't want resurrection to become the norm. Once everyone knew that resurrection was possible, and no one took life seriously, losing even the most basic reverence for life and death, everything would fall into chaos.

Moreover, he only has less than a hundred White Zetsu in his possession, which cannot withstand such consumption.

One person dies once, and then their companion awakens their powers of perception. It sounds easy, but once you know you can be resurrected, the point of doing so is almost negligible; it's just a waste of a White Zetsu.

The essence of upgrading the Sharingan is not the death of loved ones or comrades, but rather the elevation of the soul. The death of loved ones is the most direct method, using stimulation to elevate the soul, which is why Uchiha ninjas can awaken their Sharingan after being stimulated.

The stimulation itself is the most important thing, not the deaths.

Even the stimulation itself isn't the key; it's the soul. If the soul can grow to the appropriate level on its own, then stimulation becomes irrelevant.

Unfortunately, even Uchiha Kiyoshi's true form only achieved its upgrade through the continuous stimulation and accumulation of natural energy.

There is currently no conclusion on what level of true soul cultivation is required to upgrade to the kaleidoscope.

"The reason I was able to revive is because of my special ability to control puppets to perform resurrection spells. However, the number of these puppets is also limited."

Fugaku Uchiha's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved again. Hui's heavy breathing made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn't have time to complain about it. His attention was now focused on reviving Hui.

Trading one life for another is somewhat cruel; the resurrected person, having lost another's life, will feel uneasy. After all, this technique requires the caster's own life.

However, he would be much better off if the caster were turned into a puppet.

In Hui's description, these puppets were also limited, being dead beings with immense vitality. Although he didn't know exactly how they did it, he accepted it.

It's no wonder that there aren't many puppets made from the dead, yet they still possess immense vitality.

Knowing that the number of spots was limited, Fugaku Uchiha still looked at Hikaru, his meaning was self-evident.

"Don't worry, I will revive Sachi. However, after reviving him, Sachi will no longer be able to show himself in public. One example of reviving Nawaki is already the limit."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded.

He knew that Nawaki and Sachi were different. Nawaki was the young master of the Senju clan, his sister was Tsunade, and his teacher was Orochimaru. It was acceptable for him to revive others, but Uchiha Sachi did not have such a background. If he were to be revived, the resulting changes would be unimaginable.

He didn't want the Uchiha clan to get involved in such a conflict, so he decided that he would have to conceal his identity when the time came.

Next, Teru had Fugaku Uchiha retrieve Yuki's body and then presented the body of White Zetsu in front of him, allowing Fugaku to confirm that White Zetsu was indeed dead, but that his body's cells still possessed strong activity. This was done to let Fugaku know how demanding the conditions for resurrection were.

Activating the shadow clone within White Zetsu, and pretending to use a dojutsu, White Zetsu's body was controlled, and he stood up.
