The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

All three elemental shikigami are priest-level, and the last spatial shikigami should also be priest-level, and very likely has reached its peak level.

"Very strong!"

This is the ancestor's evaluation of the high priest.

Perhaps, with just her Onmyoji skills, she could be equivalent to three Kage-level powerhouses from the main continent. Moreover, in a real fight, she might even have the upper hand.

It must be said that an Onmyoji who can pass on their skills, once they possess great talent and a rich foundation, is truly invincible among their peers.

"Burst Mode"

The Fire Spirit did not participate in the battle, but was possessed by the Ancestor, which enhanced the Ancestor and also granted him powerful fire control abilities.

Flames rose from his entire body, seemingly merging with his blood and qi to form a unique blood-red aura.

Cracks were left on the ground as Zu rushed to the front of a physical shikigami.

"Explosive Fist"

The power of blood and qi erupted, intertwining with the power of flames, bursting forth within the ancestor's body. It was as if the flames ignited the power of blood and qi, making the eruption even more powerful. With a single punch, the arms of this physical shikigami, which had been crossed to defend, were charred black and mangled.

Zu remained calm and continued to fight them. He didn't use any fancy techniques, but relied solely on his overwhelming strength and defense to suppress the three shikigami.

The person watching from the side was filled with admiration.

Even the High Priestess was amazed by Zu's performance; among all the priest-level warriors she had ever seen, none were as powerful as Zu.

That's not enough.

The power of Qi and blood surged within the ancestor's body, frantically impacting the eight gates within. With each impact, the eight gates opened in turn, and a continuous booming sound echoed within the ancestor's body.

As a booming sound resounded within his body, the aura of the blood and qi on the ancestor's body continued to grow stronger.

The Eight Gates are never fatal.

What they need is not a forceful impact, but rather "influence"!

Locking in potential also protects the body.

They are also part of the body, and forcibly activating them will naturally have strong side effects.

It's like constantly pounding on the heart, trying to break it open; the consequences are predictable.

The power of Qi and blood originates from the body and can naturally integrate into the Eight Gates, and can also open the Eight Gates in an alternative way.

The potential of the Eight Gates is too great. In order not to put too much burden on his body, the extent to which the Ancestor can open them each time is limited. For example, right now, based on his physical strength and the strength of his blood and qi, he has only opened less than 20% of the Eight Gates.

Even so, a continuous stream of energy continues to converge.

The potential within the eight gates is transformed into the power of qi and blood. Within the range that the ancestral meridians can withstand, the power of qi and blood is forced to compress, and the explosive power is even stronger.

Zu unleashed a punch, shattering half of the body of one of the physical shikigami.

Immediately afterwards, a series of punches blasted the bodies of the three shikigami into cripples. Even the hidden shikigami that was waiting for an opportunity was attacked by the ancestor, and its spirit body was shattered by a single punch.

Although the repair is not particularly difficult due to the shikigami, as it only requires absorbing natural energy to recover, its combat power is at least damaged for now.

The ancestor's outburst caught the high priest off guard.

Suddenly their combat power increased several times over; such a method was unheard of.

Perhaps this is why the other party focuses on cultivating the power of qi and blood. Such a secret technique is indeed worthwhile.

The ancestor had all eight gates open, meaning all eight gates were open, but not all of them were fully open, to prevent his body from being unable to withstand the strain.

Opening all eight gates has its advantages, namely that the eight gates are interconnected. Moreover, Might Guy developed the Eight Gates Formation, which creates a cycle within the eight gates after they are opened, doubling the combat power.

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi thought that he might have developed this tool to help him open the Death Gate simply because he couldn't open it.

Theoretically, without the Eight Gates Formation, the Eight Gates cannot be opened. Because attacking the Death Gate is tantamount to suicide; the body has a warning mechanism that will not allow the Death Gate to be opened.

However, there is no doubt that this Eight Gates Formation is quite effective.

The stability among at least eight gates is better, and the burden on the body is greatly reduced.

Strictly speaking, when using the Eight Gates Formation, apart from the increased burden from opening the eighth gate, the overall load on the body is reduced compared to using the seven gates.

To put it simply, if the load of opening the seven gates is 100, then opening the eighth gate increases the load by 100. However, the Eight Gates Formation makes the eight gates more stable and forms a cycle, reducing the load on the body by about 20-30%. The final effect is more than 150!

In addition, since the Eight Gates Formation stabilizes the power between the eight gates, it is naturally easier to control.

Aside from the initial discomfort, Zu now had no trouble controlling the increased blood and qi power from the opening of the Eight Gates.

With each punch landing squarely, in just a moment, Zu had firmly suppressed the five shikigami.

When the Eight Gates were opened, the Fire Spirit had already been sent to support another battlefield. At this moment, apart from the High Priest and the last Shikigami, the Ancestor held an absolute advantage.

"Okay, stop."

The high priest, not wanting to continue the fight, could only sigh.

She's getting old, and if possible, she doesn't want to engage in high-intensity combat.

Given that Zu has now opened all eight gates and is displaying such combat power, she would have to go all out to defeat her, but that would not be worthwhile.

On the contrary, after witnessing Zu's strength, she became interested in the suggestions he made.

The ancestor restrained his aura, his arrogance dissipated, and the eight gates within his body ceased to operate.

The injuries on his body healed rapidly as the energy of his blood and qi flowed in.

Seeing that the ancestor did not appear to be overexerting himself, the high priest was even more amazed.

What a powerful secret technique! It enhances strength out of thin air, yet the side effects don't seem to be that significant.

Or rather, it's not that the side effects are minor, but rather that the other party hasn't activated it to a very high degree.

She preferred the first option, since she couldn't imagine what it would be like if the second option were to be used at full power.

Unfortunately, things don't always go according to her wishes. When faced with a real crisis, Zu's power is far greater than she imagined.

"From this day forward, our tribe shall be called Wu!"

......

Since his ancestor subdued the small tribes and renamed them "Wu," no major events have occurred in the ninja world.

The ancestor passed down the martial arts tradition, and from then on, the tribe had a complete path to breakthrough. Their enthusiasm for cultivation soared, and Po, after receiving the subsequent inheritance, worked desperately to cultivate, hoping to break through as soon as possible.

On the main continent.

The Immortal Organization focused its efforts on the Immortal Academy.

Each ninja village began post-war reconstruction. However, with Shinji and Hikaru present, and Tsunade, who had not yet officially abdicated and possessed a strong personality, the defeat agreements were not as simple as depicted in the original story. Faced with the resolute Konoha, and considering Konoha's strength of at least six Kage-level figures, as well as the madness revealed in the negotiations, Iwagakure and Kumogakure ultimately had no choice but to compromise.

The large amount of war reparations has greatly slowed down the reconstruction progress of villages other than Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization secretly recruited members such as Juzo Biwa. At the same time, Obito also established contact with the Akatsuki organization through Zetsu.

The ninja world appears calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.

And just like that, a year passed.

Chapter 365 A Changed Fate

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The ninja world appears calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.

Mt. Miaomu.

Jiraiya received a message from the hermit Fukasaku during his travels and hurriedly arrived at Mount Myōboku.

"Master Fukasaku, is something important?" Jiraiya asked Fukasaku casually, his face still showing a hint of reminiscence.

Actually, there was something he didn't say: if it wasn't anything serious, he would have gone back. He'd waited for ages and was finally about to take his clothes off...

"The Great Toad Immortal woke up again a few days ago."

"Oh, the Great Toad Sage is awake again! No, the Great Toad Sage! The Great Toad Sage is awake again!?"

Jiraiya immediately became serious.

Each time the Great Toad Sage awakens, it usually signifies that he has foreseen the future. At least in the case of Fukasaku Sage notifying him to come and informing him, there must be something very serious going on.

"Yes."

The sage looked worried, and thinking of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he sighed again.

"What did the Great Toad Sage predict this time?" Judging from Fukasaku's expression, Jiraiya knew it wasn't anything good, but he still needed to know, so he asked anyway.

"The ninja world has completely changed! Fate has gone off track!"

"what?"

"The future is shrouded in mist, and the future of the ninja world is unknown."

"what!"

"This time when he woke up, the Great Toad Sage's memory was much better. He talked a lot and hasn't fallen asleep yet."

"!"

Jiraiya was utterly shocked.

Has that forgetful toad immortal recovered from his illness?

Fukasaku the Sage said with a serious expression, "The Great Toad Sage wasn't always like this. Both his memory and his excessive sleepiness gradually changed because of his ability to foresee the future. Now that his symptoms have improved, it means that it's difficult to predict the future."

In fact, the future is completely different!

Jiraiya frowned as he listened to Fukasaku's explanation.

"That serious? Nothing major has happened in the ninja world lately, has it?"

Master Shima reminded him, "There haven't been any in the last year, but there have been before that."

"This...you mean the Immortal Organization or the Immortal Academy?" Jiraiya asked uncertainly.

"These are them."

Fukasaku the Sage said with an affirmative expression, "The curriculum of the Sage Academy is no secret. Don't you know? What kind of ideas do they teach? Everyone is equal. How is that possible!"

Another point is the idea of ​​unification. However, the hermit Fukasaku didn't mention this.

Jiraiya remained silent.
