The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

While on his journey, Minato Namikaze was also pondering further uses for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although he didn't know what the other party was after, those last few moves were clearly instructing him.

Minato Namikaze wasn't one to be pretentious, and besides, such techniques greatly enhanced his strength.

The hand seals for the Flying Thunder God Technique are much simpler to improve than those for the Substitution Technique. Uchiha Kiyoshi spent a great deal of effort on the hand seals, firstly because he developed them from scratch and needed constant refinement, and secondly because of the inherent limitations of the Substitution Technique itself. The Substitution Technique requires specific conditions for the replacement object, and to facilitate the arbitrary selection of a replacement, Uchiha Kiyoshi continuously improved the hand seals, ultimately resulting in the Substitution Technique, which could even imprint hand seals on natural energy.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu developed from the Summoning Technique. Regardless of whether there are restrictions on summoned creatures, the Second Hokage has already improved upon it, and it would not be difficult to further modify it into a technique that can adapt to all tangible matter.

It only requires simple modifications.

Minato Namikaze's thinking was previously limited by the Second Hokage's use of kunai to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the second generation's thinking is rigid. After all, it's a technology they developed, and they like to use it this way, so there's nothing wrong with that.

In the original work, Minato Namikaze eventually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique to the point where he could leave marks on other people at will, which was similar to the second stage of application demonstrated by Maga. Therefore, this improvement was not difficult for Minato Namikaze at all.

The real challenge lies in the final stage: the "integration" of natural energy. For Minato Namikaze, who was capable of cultivating immortal techniques but whose aptitude was not particularly high, this was virtually impossible to accomplish.

At most, it's just leaving the other person with a memory.

However, Minato Namikaze was not discouraged. Being able to further improve the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique was already a great achievement. As for the free teleportation throughout the entire space in the third stage, it would be just as good when paired with kunai.

Minato Namikaze was able to successfully master the Flying Thunder God Technique not only because of his innate spatial talent, but also because of his sealing techniques. He possessed exceptional talent in sealing techniques and inherited the sealing techniques of his girlfriend's Uzumaki clan, making his sealing technique level top-notch.

While on his journey, Minato Namikaze had already completed the basic improvements to the Flying Thunder God seal.

It's simply a matter of separating the seal from the object it's attached to, yet still connecting it to the object. It's just another seal on the seal's outer layer.

However, this would mean wasting time on the depiction of the Indian style.

Minato Namikaze didn't have enough time to practice the new seal technique, and his proficiency in it was insufficient, so he couldn't instantly depict it.

Even so, his strength has improved.

This was also one of Maga's ideas. Since the battle at Kannabi Bridge was brought forward, Minato Namikaze's strength naturally did not reach the level described in the original work.

For a genius like Minato Namikaze, a year, especially a year on the battlefield, is crucial for improving his strength.

The defenses of the Kannabi Bridge are likely composed of veteran powerhouses. Arriving a year earlier might not have diminished their strength; in fact, their physical condition might have remained unchanged, making them even stronger!

This is also why Maga temporarily decided to strengthen Minato's winds.

......

The Land of Rain, formerly the Village of Rain Ninja.

After killing Hanzo, the Akatsuki headquarters moved to Amegakure. Under Konan's arrangement, they successfully took control of the entire Amegakure and hid there, accumulating strength.

After his previous defeat, Nagato understood the importance of power and realized that even with three Kage-level ninjas, the Akatsuki organization was still not strong enough. Even though he possessed the so-called power of a god, his physical condition made it inconvenient for him to use it, so he began to focus on developing the organization.

"Yun, according to our investigation, both Kakuzu and Sasori perfectly fit the organization's requirements. Whether they can join the organization depends on you."

Xiao Nan carefully explained the information to Yun and entrusted him with the important task of developing members.

Since the last battle, Yun's double pupils have awakened again, and his strength has soared. Now, Xiao Nan is not confident that she can defeat him, so she is very relieved to entrust the mission to Yun.

As for Yun's loyalty, Xiao Nan hadn't even considered it.

Having accompanied the Akatsuki all the way to this day, if something happens to Yundu, who can Konan trust?

"Let's start with Sasori. My Fire Release counters Wind Release, and he's younger, so he'll be easier to deal with."

Yun didn't seem to know much about the two; she simply chose Scorpion based on Xiao Nan's information.

"Alright, we recently discovered some of Scorpion's whereabouts."

Xiao Nan told Yun where the scorpion had appeared ten days ago.

Yun was also very surprised by this.

The Akatsuki organization has very strong intelligence capabilities.

Sasori should be focusing on hiding right now, so how did the Akatsuki manage to find out? You have to understand that even Uchiha Kiyoshi, who has been planning for so many years, doesn't have such a powerful intelligence system. Although there are some manpower issues, it doesn't stop Yun from being amazed by the Akatsuki's intelligence capabilities.

However, Yun felt a little better after reading the details.

Unlike the original timeline, the war between the Wind and Fire Kingdoms ended much faster, and Sasori was not discovered by the Konoha ninjas. Therefore, the outside world was unaware of Sasori's various combat abilities.

Not long ago, Sasori got into a conflict with someone in the black market, revealing his Kage-level strength, which brought him to the attention of the Akatsuki organization.

Afterwards, taking advantage of Sasori's poor condition, the Akatsuki secretly followed him and finally learned of his whereabouts.

"The desert in the southern part of the Land of Wind? Don't worry, leave it to me."

Without saying much, Yun accepted the mission and left Amegakure, heading south through the Land of Rivers and then into the Land of Wind.

With the truce between Konoha and Sunagakure, the density of inspections in the Land of Rivers was greatly reduced, and Kumo passed through the Land of Rivers smoothly and entered the Land of Wind.

He left a shadow clone to search for Scorpion, while Yun himself continued south, eventually arriving at the southern coast.

"Okay."

Using the Substitute Body Technique, Yun's figure vanished.

Kiyoshima Island.

Clouds suddenly appeared.

When outsiders arrive, Yahiko is naturally curious as well.

The fact that no one has strayed into Qingzhi Island over such a long period of time is enough to demonstrate its seclusion. Therefore, those who can come here must all be members of the Immortal Organization.

This newly appearing chakra aura isn't real; it seems to be another member of the Sage Organization.

Yahiko was very interested in the identity of this member of the Sage Organization. He stopped his cultivation and headed towards Uchiha Kiyoshi's residence because he sensed that the chakra aura was not far from Uchiha Kiyoshi's residence and was moving towards it.

For some reason, Yahiko felt that this aura was very familiar.

"Looks like it's someone we know."

Arriving at Uchiha Kiyoshi's residence, Yahiko was shocked to see the cloud with its double pupils.

"Yun! How could it be you!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi explained from the side, concealing Yun's identity, "Yun has been a member of the Sage Organization since childhood, and is the only bloodline of the current Double Pupil Bloodline. After I found him, I recruited him into the Sage Organization. Later, I sent him to the Land of Rain as an intelligence agent, partly to gather intelligence, and partly to train him. I just didn't expect that the Akatsuki Organization would appear later, and that they had the same goal of achieving peace as my Sage Organization. Out of curiosity, Yun joined the Akatsuki Organization and awakened the Double Pupil Bloodline there."

When Uchiha Kiyoshi recounted the "past events," his expression was full of complex emotions, as if it were a true story.

Yun nodded in agreement.

That's enough. Any further explanation would just be a cover-up. I believe this is enough to dispel any misunderstandings in Yahiko's mind.

After all, it's unpleasant to think that one of the founders of your organization is already a member of another organization.

However, since both sides are now members of the Immortal Organization, it's not too difficult for them to accept.

The sudden shift from superior to subordinate to equal was somewhat disorienting for Yahiko. Although he hadn't explicitly adopted a superior-subordinate relationship with Kuma during his time in Akatsuki, this change in relationship was real, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Yahiko didn't rush to ask about the current situation of the Akatsuki organization. He had already learned about the general changes in Konan, Nagato, and the Akatsuki organization from Uchiha Kiyoshi, who hadn't kept it from him.

Now I'm not in a hurry anymore.

Under Uchiha Kiyoshi's occasional guidance, his strength has steadily improved over this period. He has also successfully mastered the Spirit Slash, a standard technique of the Sage Organization, and learned Uchiha Kiyoshi's Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique. Combined with the physique of the Fuma clan, it can be said that his strength has reached the peak of the Kage level, meeting the basic requirements of a member of the Sage Organization. Soon he will be able to go out on missions on his own.

Yun followed Uchiha Kiyoshi into the laboratory, without letting anyone else in.

After setting up a barrier to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed, Uchiha Kiyoshi had Yun lie down, removed his eyes, and placed them on the instrument to begin further modifications.

Chapter 317 Orochimaru's Disdain

After studying it for several months, Uchiha Kiyoshi had a general understanding of the structure of the Byakugan. After discovering that spiritual energy could replace soul power to drive these structures, he also planned to add the Byakugan's abilities to the double pupils.

It might be a bit mentally taxing, but whether or not we use it is up to us. Let's focus on perfecting these features first.

Furthermore, with the Byakugan's investigative abilities, Yun no longer needs to use mental perception. Since the investigation is still conducted using mental energy, replacing mental perception with investigative abilities doesn't significantly change the mental energy consumption.

Furthermore, since spiritual perception was developed by Uchiha Kiyoshi, its level of perfection is certainly not as good as that of the Byakugan. In terms of the utilization rate of spiritual energy, it is inferior. With the same consumption, the Byakugan's structure may be able to detect a wider range.

Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi's mental perception also has an advantage that the Byakugan does not possess, namely, its efficiency.

The so-called conservation is not about consuming less mental energy, but rather that he can reuse the chakra that has been wasted on the battlefield after using ninjutsu.

Commonly known as recycling.

There may not be a recycling process, but it is indeed a reuse of wasted chakra.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages; it depends on the situation.

By placing his double pupils inside the micromanipulation instrument, Uchiha Kiyoshi connected his chakra to the instrument, and nanoscale chakra threads were manipulated under the microscope.

It manipulates the original structure of the double pupils within the double pupils, attracts natural energy, and then indirectly controls the natural energy to carve techniques on the inner wall of the eyeball.

This is an improvement on the technique of space scrolls, which can expand the internal space.

It wasn't Uchiha Kiyoshi who researched it, but rather it was Cloud's clone who researched it when he had nothing else to do. After all, it was for use by the Double Pupil, so naturally it was Cloud who researched it.

The technique was applied to the inner wall of the double pupil, instantly expanding the original space by nearly ten times!

Uchiha Kiyoshi controlled the original chakra structure, moving it to different areas according to a set pattern, making it easier for Yun to distinguish the functions of these structures.

This step is not complicated. Yun's double pupils were already divided in the previous modifications, and the arrangement of the areas is still very orderly.

As the internal space expanded, Uchiha Kiyoshi continued to control the natural energy within his double pupils, solidifying it into chakra-like jutsu structures. The Byakugan's probing abilities, the previously exhausted templates...

"Phew~ Alright, now it's up to Yun to do it."

After removing the eyeball, Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to the operating table and transplanted it back into Yun's eye socket.

Starting on the operating table, Yun closed her eyes and felt the changes in her eyes.

He channeled his chakra into it, familiarizing himself with the new distribution and the additional abilities.

With the infusion of spiritual energy and chakra, a new power is generated within the double pupils due to the unique pupil structure of the Byakugan.

"This is... eye power?"

At this moment, Yun's double pupils gained pupil power.

Soul power is renewable. As long as the origin of the soul is not affected, it can be regenerated indefinitely. When the Byakugan is activated, it does not use soul power directly, but rather eye power.

As an eye-type bloodline limit, the Byakugan also uses eye power to perform eye techniques. Its eye power is a stable structure formed by the fusion of soul power and chakra, which allows the soul power to be preserved.

In this new stable structure, chakra has almost no effect; only soul power is effective, and its sole function is to store soul power.

Of course, spiritual energy is also acceptable.
