The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

By nourishing the body, one can bring it to the point of its first transformation. Then, one can either sense natural energy and attract a small amount of natural energy to perform the first minor transformation of the body while cultivating vital energy.

Alternatively, one could use items containing natural energy, such as Hero's Water or elixirs, to break through.

Subsequently, with each breakthrough using natural energy, the body becomes more affinity-free to natural energy. Although the individual may not perceive much, the body actually remembers it all, and the cultivation of vital energy becomes smoother, with both quantity and quality greatly improved, in a continuous cycle.

Until the Qi cultivation is perfected.

At this point, after several minor transformations, the body has developed a certain basic affinity for natural energy, and this foundation may even have reached its peak. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will not require extensive preparation and can be done directly.

It was much easier than when I broke through on my own back then!

Of course, the combat power of people of the same level may be very different, but is combat power important in the ninja world?

It is important, yet it is not important.

“Not bad, not bad, using natural energy as a stimulus is perfectly fine.”

Hui looked at Orochimaru, who had brought up the point, and sighed inwardly.

As expected of you!

Chapter 421 The Long-Disappeared Rope Tree

After Orochimaru's reminder, Hikaru came up with a series of new ideas, which he shared with his main body and Tsuchishi. Meanwhile, he, Orochimaru, and Tsunade began further research.

Meanwhile, the forgotten being that Tsunade was muttering about was currently struggling through the great desert of the Land of Wind.

Rope Tree!

So much time has passed that everyone has almost forgotten about the child.

After parting ways with Akira in the Land of Whirlpools, Nawaki received a guiding item from Akira, but the item itself was not very accurate.

Well, it's really hard to believe that a Konoha ninja like Hui would have an item that points to the location of the Land of Immortals. At the time, Hui used the Dragon Vein as an excuse, saying that it was a special guide to the Dragon Vein, and that the Sage Organization was not far from the Dragon Vein, so Nawaki would be able to find it on his own.

Furthermore, in order to further clear himself of suspicion, Hui also significantly reduced the guidance effect, resulting in low accuracy.

As a result, this lack of accuracy directly harmed the rope tree.

Starting from the Land of Whirlpools, they wandered around the Land of Fire for more than half a month before entering the sea from the south. It was then that Nawaki realized the problem and hurriedly took out his tools to compare. Afterwards, they went ashore from the Land of Rivers and wandered around for five or six days before arriving at the Land of Wind. And then the real tragedy began.

The Land of Winds is all desert!

You can't see anything at all, not even the rope tree.

Completely disoriented, and not constantly watching the compass, he wandered around in circles, almost traversing the entire Land of Wind.

The lack of accuracy is simply fatal. Rope Tree already has a poor sense of direction, and moving in a direction with errors is like being doubly amplified.

The pointer might have originally had an error of only 5 degrees, but with the passive blessing of the rope tree, it directly became 10 degrees, isn't that amazing?

The key issue is that Rope Tree seems to have an extraordinary talent for getting lost, making it impossible for him to correct his orientation. He can't even correct a 5-degree error in the compass, such as if the pointer is 5 degrees south and Rope Tree's sense of direction is 5 degrees north. Such a situation has never occurred before.

Any mistake means you're veering away from your destination.

Come no matter how far away.

Simply.

I guess my sixth sense is malfunctioning; I don't know which feeling is correct.

In fact, you have a special feeling about the correct destination, but people perceive it as incorrect.

Yes, it's about taking your subconscious perception as the wrong option, and then choosing what you believe to be the right option in the direction that this option deviates from.

Perhaps, this is the rope tree's talent...

However, after circling the Land of Wind, Rope Tree finally got closer to the Fairy Organization.

Especially after getting a little closer to the Immortal Organization, the rich natural energy was quite noticeable to Nawaki, who had awakened his Immortal Body. Following his perception of the natural energy, Nawaki finally arrived at the Immortal Organization.

Looking at the greenery before him, Rope Tree burst into tears.

Waaaaah, finally I've seen something other than sand!

Damn it, Qing, it's all your fault!

Hmph, if you don't satisfy me this time, you're finished.

With a few inward complaints, Rope Tree stepped into the oasis.

In fact, Tsuchishi noticed Nawaki when he appeared not far from the Land of Immortals. After all, Nawaki's chakra reserves after awakening his Sage Body were terrifying. Although not as exaggerated as Hashirama Senju's, which was even more than the Nine-Tails', it was at least on par with the other tailed beasts. As is well known, the tailed beasts' chakra is divided into two categories: the Nine-Tails' and the other eight tailed beasts'.

Nawaki had almost no means of concealing his chakra, or rather, he was completely unaware of it, and was easily detected by Tsuchishi.

"Speaking of which, I would have almost forgotten about it if Rope Tree hadn't appeared."

To be honest, the presence of Rope Tree has been extremely low lately.

They said they came to the Immortal Organization to seek an explanation from Uchiha Kiyoshi, but they couldn't find him anywhere.

This sense of direction is just unmatched.

Tu Shi even had a slight doubt in his heart that if he hadn't met Hui, Sheng Shu might never have been able to reach the Immortal Kingdom in his entire life.

"However, it's good that Nawaki has arrived, as there's something I need him to do."

Tsuchishi wasn't flustered at all by Rope Tree's so-called request for an explanation. With his eloquence, subduing a Rope Tree wouldn't be a problem.

Heh, since you're here, then join the Immortal Organization.

"Qing, come out here! I know you're here!"

The soil and rocks did not appear directly, but instead manipulated natural energy to guide the rope tree.

When Nawaki saw that Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't appeared yet, he assumed that Kiyoshi was avoiding him.

"In that case, I'll find it myself."

Unbeknownst to him, the rope tree arrived at the Immortal Academy.

With Tsuchishi's prior warning, Yahiko didn't do anything to Nawaki. As for the students, they couldn't detect anything unusual about Nawaki at all. Moreover, Nawaki's appearance was still very youthful, and the students thought he was a classmate.

Upon entering the Immortal Academy, Nawaki inexplicably sensed something different.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different, but he knew that he thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at the academy.

Before he knew it, he had forgotten about finding Uchiha Kiyoshi and started wandering around the academy. He watched as six-year-old children discussed ideas of equality and peace under the guidance of their teachers, and Nawaki listened intently.

The idea of ​​equality for all was easily accepted by Rope Tree. After all, he wasn't a contrarian; he simply found the statement reasonable and accepted it without the doubts that most people have about it.

Before he knew it, half a day had passed. Nawaki had spent half a day at the academy, listening to ideological education classes, experiencing the influence of the Sage Organization's ideology, learning about the merits and demerits of the current ninja world system, recognizing its corruption, and understanding the relativity of so-called justice and evil, gaining a completely different understanding of everything.

"How about it?"

Earth and rocks appeared behind the rope tree, inquiring about its harvest.

"Even better than Konoha."

Rope Tree unconsciously gave his most honest answer.

This assessment is undoubtedly valuable; for Nawaki, this place is even better than Konoha!

"Peace? The world is decaying. Our goal is to establish a new system, to establish relative peace. Perhaps, as time goes by, this so-called system will also be riddled with worms and decay, but at least until then, everything will be beautiful."

"But isn't that just another cycle of reincarnation?"

"If it's rotten, then tear it down and rebuild it! All we can do is pass on this idea."

If it's decaying, then rebuild it!

Even if Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to establish a unified system, it would be overturned if it did not conform to the interests of the majority.

Well, even Tu Shi himself got a little excited talking about it.

Rope Tree, naturally, was completely disoriented by the soil and rocks, losing all sense of direction.

Oh, he didn't know which way was north anyway, so it's fine. The last bit of mental burden on Tu Shi is gone, isn't it?

"Would you be willing to join the Immortal Organization for our cause?"

In a daze, Rope Tree joined the Fairy Organization.

However, this is not bad!

Kiyoshi is absolutely right. What's the point of staying in Konoha as Hokage? This is my grandfather's achievement, his answer to a lifetime of hard work for peace. Why can't I, Nawaki, create a better answer on my own?

Grandpa, your idea is correct, but it doesn't seem to last.

As your grandson, what you couldn't finish, let me continue the exploration!

However, before that, join the Immortal Organization.

Okay, let's take advantage of Qing's work for free first.

Hehe, isn't what's cleared out mine?

Chapter 422 The Greatest Mission

Rope Tree joined the Fairy Organization, and Earth Stone first had him learn the organization's philosophy.

It won't waste time.

Unlike a group of five- or six-year-old kids who need time to be accepted, Rope Tree is already fifteen or sixteen years old. He is mature, has experienced life and death, and is easily fooled. No, it's the kind of quality that makes him seem like a natural member of the Immortal Organization. Uh, okay, he's just easily fooled.

Rope Tree is incredibly quick to accept new ideas.

Just now, in just half a day, Tu Shi and Jiang Xiang Xian's goals resonated with each other.

All I can say is that as long as the idea is theoretically sound and genuinely for the good of the ninja world, Nawaki will readily approve it.

It can't be called naive; perhaps "childlike innocence" would be a more appropriate description.

Okay, being easily fooled seems simpler and easier to understand.

With the awakening of the Sage Body and the possession of a vast amount of chakra, Nawaki was able to maintain over a hundred shadow clones simultaneously. In just two days, he finished reading through a large number of guidelines, including the Sage Organization's ideology, that Yahiko had recently compiled.

Yes, the memory shock brought by the return of shadow clones is indeed a major factor limiting the number of shadow clones that can be maintained. However, increasing chakra reserves can significantly improve this value. With more chakra, the soul's tolerance to impact also increases dramatically, allowing it to withstand more memory shocks.

Nawaki's chakra is comparable to that of a tailed beast. In addition, before the Second World War, Uchiha Kiyoshi had told him about the importance of shadow clones and the possible ways to improve and maintain shadow clones. It's not unreasonable for Nawaki to be able to maintain a hundred shadow clones.

While the speed of training and developing ninjutsu may not be a simple one-to-one conversion—saying it's a hundred times faster—it should be a hundred times faster in terms of learning knowledge.

Although my understanding might be a bit superficial, I've learned it all. I also have a certain understanding of each of the Shadow Clone Techniques, which is enough for Nawaki.
