The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Despite the overwhelming aura emanating from Ryo, Uchiha Kiyoshi remained unaffected. Over the past three years, Uchiha Kiyoshi had killed many people, significantly improving his mental fortitude. With his growing strength, he had developed a considerable aura of his own, and coupled with his frequent exposure to Orochimaru's aura, he had become resistant to it.

Ryōken Uchiha Kiyoshi withstood his aura without surprise, which was consistent with the other party's tone just now. If he couldn't even withstand the aura of a Jonin, then he would be a fool to boast about taking on a Jonin, but Uchiha Kiyoshi's actions showed that he was not a fool.

Chapter Sixty: The Situation Turns Around

After Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at the scene, the situation changed drastically.

The original six against one has become four against two. Furthermore, Uchiha Kiyoshi has a hidden Nawaki on his side, who could potentially take one down with a sneak attack if things go smoothly, making it three against three.

Of course, after a long battle, Sarutobi Saku's actual combat strength had been almost completely depleted.

Liang didn't give Uchiha Kiyoshi and the others time to rest, and formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique

The raindrops falling from the sky began to gather, and in the blink of an eye, a water dragon took shape, heading towards Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Rainy weather greatly enhances the effects of water-style ninjutsu.

Water dragon bullets, which are already quite powerful, become even more so in rainy conditions.

Facing the enormous water dragon, as thick as a bucket and ten meters long, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also extremely solemn.

I didn't expect this Jonin to be a Water Release ninja; he might be more troublesome than I imagined.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, Uchiha Kiyoshi formed hand seals.

Earth Escape Technique: Earth Wall Technique

Over such a long period of time, the Uchiha clan had already recreated the Earth Wall Technique and improved upon it, developing an enhanced version. The number of hand seals remained the same, but the defensive power was greatly increased.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had never used ninjutsu normally before, and this earthen wall was no exception.

A vertical earthen wall appeared in front of Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Although it was called an earthen wall, it was actually a vertical wedge shape, wider at one end and pointed at the other, facing the enemy. Combined with the hardness of the earth-style technique that Uchiha Kiyoshi had enhanced it with, it did not suffer any damage when it directly collided with Ryo's Water Dragon Bullet.

On the contrary, Ryo's Water Dragon Bullet was split apart by Uchiha Kiyoshi's earthen wall and shot to both sides.

"Hehe, that's called science. Smaller surface area, greater pressure, understand?"

Feeling a surge of smugness, Uchiha Kiyoshi continued forming hand seals.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"

As Uchiha Kiyoshi completed his hand seals, three enormous earth spikes rose from beneath Ryo's feet.

Without even considering the effects of the attack, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew it was unlikely to be effective. This ninjutsu was merely a means to create an opportunity for him to close the distance and engage in melee combat.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's true strength lies in taijutsu; his three years of taijutsu training have yielded very strong results.

Taijutsu now accounts for even half of Uchiha Kiyoshi's combat strength.

In a battle against someone of a higher level, Uchiha Kiyoshi naturally needs to utilize his strengths to have a chance.

As he charged toward his opponent, Uchiha Kiyoshi took out two kunai and threw them at the opponent from both sides.

Ryo was also blocked off, so he had no choice but to go forward and fight Uchiha Kiyoshi in close combat.

"Hmph! Did you think you could find an opportunity to severely injure me by getting close? You're underestimating the combat experience of a Jonin."

Ryo was unaware of Uchiha Kiyoshi's situation and simply assumed that Uchiha Kiyoshi was trying to gamble on his luck to see if he could find an opportunity to severely injure him.

Naturally, they scoffed at this.

This gave Uchiha Kiyoshi an opportunity. As long as he could entangle his opponent and maintain close combat, he would have a chance to turn the tables and kill him!

Uchiha Kiyoshi raised a kunai in his right hand and slashed forward with all his might.

Liang also took out a knife and slashed down.

"Ding!"

The force was too great, and the recoil caused Uchiha Kiyoshi to lose his grip on the kunai. Without hesitation, Uchiha Kiyoshi decisively dropped the kunai, turned around, grabbed a dirt spear from the ground, and thrust it at his opponent.

Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't even hold onto his kunai properly, so Ryo was also in trouble. He was forced back two steps by Uchiha Kiyoshi's attack. Before he could even be surprised, he saw his opponent decisively throw away the kunai, pick up a clay spear, and thrust it at him again. He had no choice but to raise his sword to defend himself.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength was truly immense, far exceeding that of ordinary people; even Ryo, a Jonin, was no match for him.

The result was the same as before; Ryo was forced to retreat repeatedly by Uchiha Kiyoshi.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi seemed to transform into a warrior, wielding an earthen spear and constantly swinging it, thrusting, slashing, and sweeping, suppressing his opponent so that he could not use ninjutsu and could only keep parrying with his sword.

After being reinforced with intermediate-level hardness by Uchiha Kiyoshi, the earthen spear was quite hard. After repeated collisions, it only developed a few nicks, which were quickly repaired under Uchiha Kiyoshi's control.

Liang is now suffering in silence.

Having just been promoted to Jonin and full of vigor, he discovered Sarutobi Saku's whereabouts and decided to try fishing to see if he could kill a few more Konoha ninjas.

Sarutobi Saku did indeed request reinforcements, and the enemy's companions arrived, but their arrival immediately resulted in the deaths of three of his own subordinates, forcing him to intervene.

That's one thing, but what's with the terrifying strength of this teenager on the other side? Also, have you ever seen a ninja use a gun? Isn't your swinging a bit too fluid?

Most importantly, under the constant pressure from this kid, he was completely unable to use ninjutsu and could only keep defending.

This is also a new tactic that Uchiha Kiyoshi has recently developed: as long as he can gain the upper hand, he will use taijutsu to suppress the opponent and not give him a chance to turn the tide.

Unless you have a ninjutsu without hand seals, or can withstand a single instance of damage, you'll just be constantly controlled by Uchiha Kiyoshi.

This time, Liang was careless and didn't think things through before engaging in close combat with Uchiha Kiyoshi. He was suppressed by the first attack, otherwise Uchiha Kiyoshi wouldn't have been able to control the rhythm so easily.

Over here, Uchiha Kiyoshi suppressed a Jonin, while Sarutobi Saku faced three elite Chunin who were no longer holding back, and his condition was not so good.

Already severely injured, Sarutobi Saku's movements were affected, and he was forced to defend against three opponents.

The three Rain Ninjas also saw the battle situation on Uchiha Kiyoshi's side and were anxious, as their captain was being suppressed by a Chunin.

The three Rain Ninja were also anxious and quickened their pace of attack.

In battle, if you get impatient, you're more likely to leave openings.

That's the case for the three Rain Ninja.

Under normal circumstances, Sarutobi Saku, who was also suppressed by them, would not be able to find such a weakness.

However, the current situation is that there is a rope tree secretly watching us!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

Water Release: Water Arrow Technique

Seizing the opportunity, the two Rope Trees rushed out from the side and used Water Release ninjutsu at the same time, catching the three Rain Ninja off guard.

Rain also amplified Nawaki's abilities. With the amplification of the rain, the Great Waterfall Technique resembled a real waterfall, surging towards a Rain Ninja. The Water Arrow Technique was similar; with the help of the rain, Nawaki condensed dozens of water arrows, avoiding Sarutobi Saku, and all aimed at the Rain Ninja.

The surprise attack by Rope Tree was quite effective. One Rain Ninja was first struck by the waterfall and then hit by a water arrow, dying instantly. The other two were also badly injured, both suffering some kind of injury from the water arrow.

Sarutobi Saku finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation has now turned around. In a three-on-three battle, Uchiha Kiyoshi has suppressed the opposing Jonin, which is very advantageous for Team 3.

With the situation turning around, the Rain Ninja naturally couldn't sit idly by and wait for their fate; it was necessary to notify the surrounding Rain Ninja for reinforcements. However, Ryo was suppressed and unable to free up his hands, so the task had to be done by two Chunin.

One Rain Ninja entangled Nawaki, rendering Sarutobi Saku essentially powerless to fight. Unable to stop the other Rain Ninja, he could only watch helplessly as the latter cried for help.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also noticed the situation on the other side and cursed under his breath.

"Damn it, Rope Tree, give it your all! How did you let them spread the news?"

We need to end this battle quickly, otherwise more Rain Ninja will arrive as reinforcements, and in Sarutobi Saku's current state, he won't even be able to escape.

Chapter Sixty-One: Sharingan

Since Uchiha Kiyoshi appeared, the advantage of the Rain Village has been reversed in just a few minutes, and Uchiha Kiyoshi and his group even have the potential to turn the tide and kill.

Liang also never expected that his operation, which he thought was foolproof, would turn out like this. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

With a burst of full power, Ryo blocked Uchiha Kiyoshi's downward slash, then quickly retreated while simultaneously forming hand seals to notify the nearby Rain Ninja team.

Unlike the Chunin who had just requested reinforcements, Ryo, as the team leader, was now asking for help, indicating that the situation was more critical and that reinforcements would arrive faster and in greater numbers.

Although Ryo briefly rallied and managed to send a distress signal, he still paid the price. Uchiha Kiyoshi seized the opportunity, swept him across with a single shot, and sent him crashing to the ground.

Upon seeing the opponent's actions, Uchiha Kiyoshi naturally understood what had happened, and his attack was merciless.

Even with his chakra-enhanced defense, Ryo was still severely injured by this attack.

However, there are still some benefits.

Not only did they successfully request reinforcements, but they also managed to break free from Uchiha Kiyoshi's rhythm.

With the two sides separated, Uchiha Kiyoshi also lost his advantage.

Knowing Uchiha Kiyoshi's close-combat abilities, Ryo consciously avoided getting close to him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also helpless.

The opponent was, after all, a Jonin, and despite being seriously injured, he managed to break free from his rhythm.

Even if injured, they can use their combat experience and skills to avoid contact with themselves.

"What a pity. So, some things really do have to be exposed?"

The enemy could send reinforcements at any time, and Uchiha Kiyoshi was under pressure. The sooner the battle ended, the better.

While engaging Ryo in combat, Uchiha Kiyoshi also observed the other battlefield.

With the advantage of ninjutsu bombardment, coupled with the combat skills honed over the years and the environmental advantage, Nawaki can firmly suppress his opponent. Depending on the situation, defeating him should not be difficult.

On the other hand, Sarutobi Saku was different.

After fighting six Chunin for half an hour, Sarutobi Saku was severely injured and was constantly suppressed, and was on the verge of death.

Just as Uchiha Kiyoshi was about to use the Substitution Technique, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Hey! The current situation seems perfect for awakening the Sharingan. I could sense it before, and it's about to be awakened."

"Once the suppression is released and some stimulation is provided, it should be able to start smoothly."

Unlike other Uchiha, Uchiha Kiyoshi was naturally gifted, ranking among the top in talent among all Uchiha clan ninjas, and awakening the Sharingan was not difficult for him.

In other words, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt that the time was not right, so every time he was stimulated, he would try his best to control his emotions and suppress them from activating.

Uchiha Kiyoshi then had the confidence to activate his Sharingan at this moment.
