The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Chapter 319 Ice Release

"Sclerotherapy"

In a moment of haste, the elite Jonin of Iwagakure shifted his body to dodge the path of the four kunai, then used Hardening Technique to harden his entire body, preparing to withstand the last kunai.

At this moment, the kunai seemed to be manipulated, and their direction changed slightly.

Despite being a loser, Obito still managed to learn the Uchiha's signature moves quite well.

Even the worst kunai thrower, with the Sharingan's assistance, is still a level above a normal ninja.

Hardening Technique has a drawback: after actual combat, the body cannot move. This is why elite Jonin from Iwagakure move first and then apply Hardening Technique.

At this moment, the trajectory of the kunai changed. The area that would have been attacked by only one kunai was now facing simultaneous attacks from three kunai.

If you look closely, you'll see that no matter how Obito initially dodges the five kunai he throws, even if he only gets hit by one kunai, he will face attacks from at least three kunai after the kunai changes trajectory.

The kunai was covered with Rin's water-style chakra, which not only made it powerful enough to deal damage, but also prepared it for the subsequent water explosion technique.

Everything was so complicated, yet it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Three kunai struck the hardened body, each leaving a wound. The injuries were not serious and would not affect the battle in the slightest.

However, Water Release chakra can enter his body and mix with his blood.

After throwing the kunai, Obito pushed off the ground with his other, uninjured foot, causing flames to erupt. He charged forward, and flames swirled and gathered on his right arm as he unleashed his full power!

Faced with Obito's outburst, the elite Jonin of Iwagakure also channeled their chakra, wrapped rocks around their hands, and simultaneously unleashed the Heavy Rock Technique, preparing to clash with Obito.

"Water Release: Water Explosion Technique!"

At the critical moment, Rin detonated her opponent's blood. Although not much chakra had penetrated into her body, and not much blood had been detonated, the blood vessels were fragile, and many still ruptured.

The pain it causes is very real.

"uh-huh"

At the same time, Obito looked up, and a pair of Sharingan eyes were reflected in the eyes of the elite Jonin of Iwagakure. The two tomoe rotated, as if they possessed some kind of magic.

"Oh no! An illusion!"

These were the last thoughts of this elite Jonin.

Flames erupted, leaving a hole through his body in his chest.

From beginning to end, the battle was under the control of Kakashi and his two companions.

Having killed an elite Jonin, and with himself as the main force, Obito was incredibly proud. He laughed loudly, his eyes filled with provocation as he looked at Kakashi. Of course, perhaps due to the pain in his leg, he grimaced, looking extremely strange.

Kakashi rolled his eyes, deciding not to argue with this guy about such a thing.

I was the one who devised the tactics.

However, Obito's strength has increased incredibly fast. Ever since he awakened his Sharingan, the power of his Fire Release techniques has skyrocketed...

"Alright, Obito, let me treat you."

Rin stepped forward, looking at Obito's legs, her hands flashing with green light.

Wuyin unleashed the Palm Immortal Technique.

This is a training plan that Hui gave her.

After completing the Chakra Scalpel, his training focus shifted to performing the Palm Healing Technique without hand seals.

In this way, one can truly heal oneself while fighting, without needing to perform additional hand seals.

......

Hidden Mist Village.

"Seriously, did the village send us back for some mission? The fighting on the front lines is already quite intense."

As soon as the group entered the village, one of the ninjas complained.

"There must be an important mission. The tension at the front is something we created, probably to cover our return," Zhen speculated.

The others nodded in agreement when they heard the explanation.

The village's sudden order for them to return while the battle was raging naturally caused them much confusion.

In retrospect, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

None of the group members were simple. Shin was an elite Jonin, proficient in Ice Release ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and was among the strongest below Kage level in Kirigakure. Ao was a newly promoted elite Jonin, skilled in sensory ninjutsu. The remaining ninjas were also not simple; they were all at least Jonin level.

Such a configuration would be a very important fighting force on the front lines. The fact that they were suddenly called back from the front lines means that something important must have happened in the village.

Upon arriving at the Mizukage's office, the six looked at the Third Mizukage before them, awaiting his instructions.

The Third Mizukage looked rather gloomy at this moment. Apart from Shin, the other five people didn't pay any attention to it. The war had been going on for so long, and as the Kage of a village, the Third Mizukage was under a lot of pressure. It was nothing unusual for his demeanor to change a little.

He's truly different; he knows a lot of information that others don't.

For example, the Third Mizukage being manipulated.

Madara Uchiha's mastery of genjutsu was extremely profound, and he dared not explore it casually, so he could only try his best to sense the differences in his surroundings.

"The aura of eye power is very faint. Even Qing, a sensory ninja, couldn't detect it. I was only able to detect it by relying on the connection between eye powers."

Such manipulation methods are unlikely to be detected by anyone unless they specifically seek out the Mizukage's situation. And who would bother to investigate the Mizukage's affairs? That would be a very serious act of provocation.

One can only admire Madara Uchiha's methods of controlling the Third Mizukage.

In the original story, the Fourth Mizukage's affair was exposed because Obito's genjutsu was inadequate and revealed his ocular power, which led Ao, who possessed the Byakugan, to notice the anomaly. Since Ao was already a Kage-level being at the time, he only confirmed the truth that the Fourth Mizukage was being manipulated after several secret investigations.

However, that's definitely not possible now.

Sensory ninjutsu is still far inferior to the Byakugan.

"Shin, I've brought you back this time because I have an important matter to entrust to you." Before the Third Mizukage could continue speaking, a voice rang out.

"Lord Water Shadow"

Three ninjas from the Minazuki clan entered the Mizukage's office: one elite Jonin and two Jonin.

Upon seeing them, Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Entrusting an important mission to oneself and bringing along the Minazuki clan ninjas—is this an attempt to maintain balance?

Or, it could be direct criticism or suppression.

As for who to suppress, it was naturally not him, a commoner who was completely devoted to the village, but the Minazuki clan, who represented the family's power.

As for why he was the one to carry it out, it's naturally because he also possessed the Ice Release technique.

After mastering Ice Release, Shin revealed it at a suitable time and received strong support from Kirigakure. At the same time, the Mizuki clan did not suppress him at first. However, seeing that Shin was becoming more and more like the Mizukage and had extremely strong talent, rising to the rank of elite Jonin in a short period of time, they finally couldn't help but start fighting against Shin.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

To be able to develop Ice Release on one's own is truly a gift. The fact that the Mizuki clan didn't suppress him at first, but instead tried to win him over, is quite commendable.

If someone truly doesn't accept this and possesses exceptional talent, it's understandable that Minazuki wouldn't tolerate it.

However, the Hidden Mist Village was currently suppressing the ninja clans.

Against this backdrop, it truly became a tool to suppress the Minazuki clan.

Both are Ice Release bloodline limits, but which is stronger, the true Ice Release or the Ice Release of the Minazuki clan?

In the eyes of everyone in Kirigakure, the Minazuki clan was naturally stronger, given their profound foundation and the fact that their ninjutsu and secret techniques had been developed to their fullest potential. However, Shin's side was not weak either; through his own exploration and development, his Ice Release techniques were in no way inferior to those of the current Minazuki clan leader.

In developing Ice Release, it's not that they didn't "borrow" from the ninjutsu of the Mizuki clan, but the source was illegitimate, so they never revealed it.

The revealed abilities, particularly the Ice Release, are indeed quite different from the style of the Minazuki clan, representing two distinct systems.

At this moment, the Third Mizukage summoned both sides and appointed Shin as the commander of this operation, making the purpose of suppressing the Mizuki clan very clear.

Who could object? No one. Among everyone present, he is truly the strongest, and it is entirely reasonable for him to take command.

The Minazuki clan leader is still on the front lines, and the elite Jonin of the Minazuki clan present are still not as strong as Shin.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, the Third Mizukage did not let them continue and spoke about the mission.

"I have sent you here today because I have an important task to entrust to you."

Seal the Three-Tails and bring it back to the village.

During the Five Kage Summit, the Three-Tails belonged to our village. However, since we couldn't find a Jinchūriki, we adopted a policy of letting it roam freely.

Your mission is to seal it away and bring it back to the village.

"really"

He secretly thought to himself, "As expected," and realized he knew about the mission and the subsequent arrangements.

Even if the Third Mizukage didn't say it, he knew why.

It wasn't about providing a human body for the village; it was a "strategic" necessity.

The three members of the Minazuki clan were initially dissatisfied.

He really came from the front lines, and then they put him in charge of them? This is clearly suppression. Why not just let our clan leader come back directly? But after hearing this, I realized it was reasonable.

Besides Ice Release, he also possesses sealing techniques, making him one of the most skilled in sealing techniques in Kirigakure.

Given his true strength and his ability to use Ice Release ninjutsu, withdrawing him is actually the best option.

After explaining the mission, the nine people left the Mizukage's office.

"Let's head straight there. The situation at the front is not optimistic. Although we created this situation, we must also guard against Konoha's counterattack. The sooner we complete the mission, the sooner we can return to the front."

Without delay, he led the eight people away from Kirigakure and headed towards the Three-Tails' hiding place, as the Third Mizukage had mentioned.

The Three-Tails' whereabouts are not easy to find. Even Kirigakure only knows its approximate location and has assigned some people to monitor it. However, Tsuchishi's attack on the three of them last time completely exposed the Three-Tails' location.

Almost the entire ninja world knew about the island where the Three-Tails was hiding, which forced the Three-Tails to change its location. Meanwhile, the Hidden Mist Village followed closely throughout the process, keeping track of the Three-Tails' whereabouts.

Moreover, due to the blockade, at this time, only Kirigakure knew the exact location of the Three-Tails, and other ninjas could only search for it little by little.

In the western part of the Water Kingdom, there is a deserted island.

The island is picturesque and peaceful. A lake lies at its center, surrounded by dense forests. Yet, within this beautiful setting lies the Three-Tails, a creature feared by everyone in the ninja world, slumbering in terror.

For some reason, the Three-Tails just likes to find this kind of environment...

Upon arriving on the island and learning about the situation, I honestly had a lot to say but complain.

So, if that's the case, when the Three-Tails changes its residence in the future, will it specifically look for an uninhabited island, and one with a large lake?
