The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

But now that the Hidden Mist Village ninjas have gone far away, he was still pressed down by Minato Namikaze.

"What's with the surrounding sword energy? Do you remember it?"

With Minato Namikaze's prompting, Kakashi finally saw the scene within the range of the Four Purple Flame Formation.

Such powerful sword energy.

Kakashi was utterly shocked after just one glance.

At the same time, a strange feeling arose from his heart, as if this sword energy had some connection with him.

"Who was fighting just now?"

Kakashi shook his head blankly.

Minato Namikaze knew that Kakashi might have been unconscious before this, and after confirming that Kakashi's condition was still okay, he came to the scene in person to analyze the situation.

"Shards of ice? This is... Ice Release?"

"And bloodstains."

At the same time, upon closer inspection, Minato Namikaze also felt a strange familiarity with these sword energies.

Chapter 353 Seeking the Origin in the Pure Land

He escaped in a truly "disgraceful" manner and reunited with his five companions in the Land of Water.

Aside from his injury, there were almost no losses.

This place is not far from the battlefield, just a dozen kilometers behind the Kirigakure defense line.

Before long, the Third Mizukage quietly arrived.

"Shin, how are you? Can you continue?"

"No problem, it's just a superficial injury. The sealing technique can still be used normally."

"By the way, how could your strength be forced to such a extent by the other party? Who is the other party? Could it be a strong person from Konoha?"

"I don't know. It seems like the other party is hiding their identity. They are a Kage-level expert, and a master swordsman."

Nonsense, do you think I wouldn't see it? The aura of the sword on you hasn't dissipated yet.

But are they hiding their identities? Who are they? Could they be reinforcements from Konoha, or a hidden powerhouse within Konoha?

This is what all the ninja villages fear most.

Why has the final battle been delayed?

It's because they're afraid that Konoha might suddenly have an extra Kage-level fighter on the battlefield.

Believe it or not, Konoha actually does have that ability.

The Third Hokage simply stepped down; he didn't die.

Moreover, Tsunade is only acting as a Kage to coordinate operations, which doesn't mean she can't fight.

So, Konoha still has two Kage-level ninjas!

Although they did not participate in the battle, their deterrent power was immense.

The Hidden Mist Village's plan to release the Three-Tails was to eliminate this threat, or at least to throw Konoha Village into chaos, preventing the two from intervening, while they could then launch a decisive battle.

"Let's seal the Three-Tails first."

Without saying much, everyone got busy preparing to seal the Three-Tails.

Even the Third Mizukage was on high alert at this moment.

He was honestly unsure whether something unexpected might happen.

The power of the tailed beasts is so great that it's hard to avoid any unexpected events.

I really don't know what to say about this. I want to tell them to believe in my sealing skills, but I'm afraid they won't believe me if I say too much.

"This is the scroll that seals the Three-Tails. Our task is to transfer it into this girl's body. Shin, it's up to you. Don't forget, she's not a complete Jinchuriki; she only needs to be sealed for a period of time."

Zhen naturally knew this as well, nodded, and took the scroll.

"Four Symbols Seal!"

"Four Symbols Seal - Release"

Now, a Four Symbols Seal is placed on Lin, and then the Four Symbols Seal on the scroll is removed.

"Roar!"

The moment the scroll seal was broken, the Three-Tails roared, causing everyone present to instinctively prepare for battle.

However, it's clearly not as unreliable as it seems.

As the Three-Tails' chakra flowed out of the scroll, it was reabsorbed by the Four Symbols Seal on Rin's body, and no matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail.

Ultimately, without any major incident, the Three-Tails was transferred from one seal to another.

At the same time, Shinya set up a method to seal Rin, so that she would go to Konoha and release the Three-Tails once she arrived.

Since Rin wouldn't be coming to Konoha anyway, I wasn't worried.

Besides, if she arrives in Konoha, it would be a good thing for Shin.

Konoha suffered significant losses from the Three-Tails' attack. The Uchiha clan might also be implicated, so if possible, this time we should try to follow the original story as closely as possible.

With Madara Uchiha acting as matchmaker, Kakashi and Obito should arrive in time.

If all else fails, there's still the real one, Kakashi is definitely searching for him too.

There really wasn't any unexpected reason.

"That's it?"

The Third Mizukage was puzzled by how easily the whole process had gone on.

However, the reason was quickly attributed to the true level of sealing techniques.

"Truly worthy of being the number one genius of the Mist Concealment Sealing Technique."

It's good that nothing unexpected happened, and the Third Mizukage didn't hold a grudge.

"Now that we're ready, we can get started."

"Shin, this mission is entrusted to you again. The five of you will continue to follow Shin and complete this task. Of course, the village will also send another unit of fifty ninja to accompany you on this mission, to deliver our Three-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha!"

"Yes!"

......

While Kirigakure was busily preparing its plans, changes were also taking place in Konoha.

With another student arrested, Minato Namikaze naturally took it to heart and cooperated with the Kirigakure front to investigate the movements of Shinichi and his group.

Finally, with the cooperation of the Hidden Mist Village and the special relationship between Hikaru and Shin, the intelligence gathering was undoubtedly successful.

Minato Namikaze discovered Rin's whereabouts and dispatched Kakashi to rescue her, intercepting the Hidden Mist Village forces en route.

However, due to the Iwagakure's offensive, Minato Namikaze was unable to leave, leaving the task to Kakashi alone. Of course, this wasn't a suicide mission for Kakashi; the chosen location for the interception was in the Land of Fire, where Konoha would send ninja to assist. A shortage of manpower didn't mean they had none.

Hui cooperated with Minato Namikaze, but he was still furious when he learned that Rin had been captured. He held several meetings on the front lines and contacted Konoha, demanding a decisive battle.

Meanwhile, Obito, who was being trained by Madara Uchiha, also learned of this news. At his request, Madara "reluctantly" agreed to let Obito take him to the rescue.

......

Pure Land.

Uchiha Kiyoshi followed the call from the depths of his soul and continued to advance. Along the way, he would devour souls and practice visualization techniques. During this time, he actually improved his proficiency in visualization techniques, which he had only recently begun.

"It's nearby."

It's not a special area.

"At least this shows that the origin of each person's soul in the Pure Land is not struck in a particular core area."

This is a good thing, at least Uchiha Kiyoshi doesn't have to worry about his original land being occupied by someone else.

There is very little knowledge about the soul in the ninja world. Even the Onmyoji system's theory about the soul is quite incomplete. It seems to have been created by chance and then continuously improved through contracts, which led to its current state.

There are probably not many people who know the fundamental nature of the soul.

Uchiha Kiyoshi learned about this issue through the Spirit Transformation Technique.

The Spirit Transformation Technique can be considered useless, as it's useless if the original body is found. However, it can also be incredibly powerful, as it can transform the entire soul into a special chakra, and even reveal some of the original issues.

I don't know who developed it.

Few are aware that their soul's origin is incomplete, but those who are aware of this are definitely strong.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't care whether they replenished their original essence; he only cared that he wouldn't be hindered when the time came.

He had no idea whether there would be any reaction at that time, since there were no records of such things in the ninja world, and he had never seen them before.

"This is it."

Following the summons, Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at a peculiar area.

"Is this the origin of other people?"

They are not completely scattered, but rather distributed throughout the Pure Land.

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi could actually sense the soul energy within.

There were quite a few familiar elements among them.

The Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage were the most active, possibly because their souls returned to the Pure Land, and being close to each other, they were attracted to one another.

There were others too, including the Third Hokage, Jiraiya...

"Is this the very essence of the souls of all beings of this recent era contained in this one place?"

Sensing these familiar presences, and after searching around, he found that they were all figures from this era. It seemed that neither Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, nor Tobirama Senju were among them, leading Kiyoshi Uchiha to make a guess.

"Of course, it's not necessarily all here; rather, the souls of the same era will strike together in several places."

"So, is it also because of their original souls that the Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage are so close to this place after returning to the Pure Land?"

The soul returns to the Pure Land after death, which must be due to the call of this source. Therefore, it seems that it is not a problem to return to the Pure Land and arrive at a place close to one's source.
