The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Mastering Yin Release is one point, but a deeper understanding of illusion techniques is another.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also had his own plans for training in genjutsu.

Although I don't plan to refine it to perfection, it's still very necessary to master it; otherwise, it would be a disservice to my Sharingan.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Yin Escape

There are seven attributes of chakra, among which the Five Elements Release Techniques are the most basic.

Ninjas typically possess several chakra natures, which makes learning ninjutsu much easier.

The absence of a certain attribute doesn't mean you can't cultivate it; it just means that the power of the same ninjutsu will vary greatly. If you want to improve, you need to continuously develop that attribute, which is a very difficult process.

Therefore, it is generally believed that the more innate chakra attributes one possesses, the better one's ninjutsu talent.

The Third Hokage was born with all five chakra natures and mastered ninjutsu of all five natures to an unparalleled degree. Even without a bloodline limit, he stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world with his mastery of combination ninjutsu.

Besides the Third Hokage, Kakashi in the original work also seems to possess all the chakra natures. However, Kiyoshi Uchiha is more inclined to believe that Kakashi developed and supplemented these abilities himself.

Whether it's innate or developed later, being able to possess chakra of all attributes is already quite impressive.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was born with three chakra natures, which already put him at the level of a top genius.

Even a regular Jonin only needs to master two types of chakra nature transformations.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's three chakra natures meant that he didn't need to develop other natures, thus overcoming a major hurdle in his promotion to Jonin.

In addition to the five elements, chakra also has two hidden attributes.

Those are Yin Escape and Yang Escape.

According to some teachings that Uchiha Kiyoshi had seen in his previous life, the ultimate Yin Release is spiritual energy, while the ultimate Yang Release is physical energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't know if this statement was true or not, but Yin Release is more focused on the mental aspect, while Yang Release is more focused on physical energy, which is indeed true.

These are not things that Uchiha Kiyoshi needs to consider right now.

What he needs to do now is to first learn the basics of Yin Escape before he can hope to pursue deeper levels of cultivation.

"The nature of Yin Release focuses on illusion, so genjutsu generally requires Yin Release chakra to be cast."

As one's mastery of Yin Dun deepens, it becomes increasingly closer to reality, meaning that fantasy influences reality, and can even manifest directly.

Susanoo was obtained through Yin Release.

Even if one hasn't cultivated to the extreme and can't truly manifest it, being able to influence reality is already quite impressive.

The eye techniques of the Kaleidoscope are essentially the Yin Release of this stage, using eye power to cast various illusions.

Even those eye techniques that are not illusions are manifestations of Yin Release.

Amaterasu generates flames using Yin Release chakra; Kamui influences space using Yin Release chakra.

……

"Genjutsu, to put it simply, is the use of spiritual energy that constitutes chakra to influence the flow of chakra in other people's brains in order to induce hallucinations in them."

The Yin Release attribute is the activation of spiritual energy within chakra.

By activating the spiritual energy within chakra and making it active, one acquires the Yin Release attribute.

So, does that mean Yang Release is simply chakra that activates the body's energy?

Through the explanation of genjutsu in "Fundamentals of Genjutsu", Uchiha Kiyoshi also kept thinking about the relationship and difference between genjutsu and Yin Release.

Yin Release can influence reality to some extent. Although the lowest level of Yin Release cannot influence reality on a large scale, it can still affect the flow of chakra.

Illusion magic utilizes this principle.

Different illusion techniques are simply different ways of using Yin Release chakra to influence the flow of the opponent's chakra.

Advanced illusions no longer concern themselves with whether they affect the target; they begin to influence reality itself.

The Dark Travel Technique is a high-level illusion technique that deprives the enemy of their sight. In fact, it directly affects the opponent's vision through Yin Release, rather than by altering the flow of chakra.

That's why advanced genjutsu is so difficult to break—it bypasses the influence on chakra flow. Even if the flow of chakra is disrupted, it's still very difficult to break free from genjutsu.

These are all guesses made by Uchiha Kiyoshi based on what he knows, and their accuracy is currently unknown.

Perhaps we'll only be able to verify this when Uchiha Kiyoshi comes into contact with A-rank genjutsu in the future.

"Yin Release is chakra that has activated spiritual energy, so it's not difficult for me."

The power of the Sharingan is mutated from chakra through intense emotional changes, and the spiritual energy within it is in an activated state, so it is considered Yin Release.

Since we want to study Yin Release more comprehensively, let's start from two aspects: the Sharingan's ocular power and normal Yin Release chakra.

In this way, the complementary nature of these elements might benefit my understanding of pupil power and allow me to conduct further research.

Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't forgotten that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was limited; using it too much would lead to blindness!

With that, Uchiha Kiyoshi began to try.

Sit cross-legged, release some chakra into your hands, forming a sphere, and concentrate your mind to perceive the spiritual energy within.

Having mastered the art of cultivating health, Uchiha Kiyoshi achieved this step with ease.

"Then it's about stimulating spiritual energy and bringing out its characteristics."

But... what are the characteristics of spiritual energy?

At this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi was completely baffled. What are the characteristics of spiritual energy?

It's a conceptual energy, incomprehensible, and not something like mental power, telekinesis, or soul power. Who knows what its characteristics are?

Uchiha Kiyoto felt that this energy was not real and should not exist.

"Huh? Unreal? Illusory? Are the properties of spiritual energy illusory? Whatever, let's try it first."

Just as Uchiha Kiyoshi was about to give it a try, he ran into another problem...

How to activate the illusory nature of spiritual energy...

Uchiha Kiyoshi thought for a while before deciding to try more, thinking he would eventually find a way.

"If it's illusory, then make it as illusory as possible. While communicating with spiritual energy, continuously inject various imaginary wills into it to make it change."

After several attempts, Uchiha Kiyoshi also had some ideas.

Following his own ideas, Uchiha Kiyoshi communicated his spiritual energy within his chakra, continuously transmitting the will of the Gensou-type, attempting to influence the spiritual energy.

Sure enough, Uchiha Kiyoshi's approach worked. Soon, he sensed a change in chakra, giving off an ethereal and chilling feeling.

Perhaps due to the illusory nature of Yin Release, Yin Release chakra always gives people a cold feeling, and the Uchiha clan's eye power is even more obvious in this respect.

"Success! Wow, that was way too easy!"

While marveling at the simplicity of Yin Release, Uchiha Kiyoshi was unaware that his Yin Release training was progressing far too quickly, exceeding the speed of a normal person.

Other ninjas who practiced Yin Release did not have such a thorough theoretical understanding as Uchiha Kiyoshi, nor did they have such detailed steps.

They achieved this through painstaking effort, bit by bit. Unlike Uchiha Kiyoshi, who could directly connect with and influence the spiritual energy within his own chakra.

However, this was all developed by Uchiha Kiyoshi through his own training; it was his advantage, and it wouldn't be wrong to call it talent.

"So, my talent for illusion isn't so bad after all?"

Stroking his chin, Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly had this thought.

"No, no, illusion magic is better used as a supplementary tool; it's better not to make it our main focus."

Shaking his head, Uchiha Kiyoshi abandoned the idea of ​​refining his genjutsu. He still felt that taijutsu and ninjutsu were more useful, as genjutsu's direct destructive power was too weak.

Yes, that's his opinion.

Having mastered the Yin Release chakra, Uchiha Kiyoshi only needed to gradually allow his body to adapt to it over the next few days, so that he could directly refine Yin Release chakra in the future.

Having finished his Yin Release training, Uchiha Kiyoshi focused his attention on his Sharingan.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Uchiha Fugaku

Uchiha Kiyoshi had been able to study the Sharingan for many days now, but he hadn't had time to examine it carefully yet.

The research was temporarily suspended for two reasons: firstly, research on the Sharingan couldn't be completed in a short time; secondly, research on the Sharingan required awakening the Sharingan, which consumed too much chakra.

It wasn't until Uchiha Kiyoshi easily mastered Yin Release that he turned his attention to the Sharingan.

Awakening the Sharingan is not something that can be done casually; it requires a large amount of chakra.

An Uchiha ninja with average talent and chakra levels, who awakens the Sharingan, cannot maintain the ability to keep it active at all times, even if they do nothing, until the chakra growth brought by the Sharingan ends.

Just maintaining the Sharingan's activation requires more than a day's worth of chakra. This shows how much chakra the Sharingan consumes!

This is only a single tomoe. As the Sharingan upgrades, the chakra consumption increases significantly, far exceeding the chakra increase brought about by the Sharingan upgrade.

Even at the Jonin level or higher, it's impossible to activate the three-tomoe Sharingan at any time!

It's quite impressive that someone could maintain a three-tomoe Sharingan for over a decade without sealing it, relying on consuming their own chakra.

That's right, I'm talking about Kakashi.

Their chakra is definitely not small!

A five-year-old genin, a six-year-old chunin!

If you don't have enough chakra, you can't unleash ninjutsu. How do you become a Chunin? Through swordsmanship? Or combat skills?

Clearly, Kakashi's chakra level reached that of a Chunin when he was six years old!

Uchiha Kiyoto was far inferior.

"Ugh……

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Uchiha Kiyoshi gave a wry smile, put his thoughts aside, and began to study his Sharingan.

The clear black and white eyes disappeared, replaced by a scarlet under-eye area, with a black tomoe slowly rotating around a small black dot in the center.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi's vision was greatly enhanced, and everything in front of him was clearly visible, including the patterns on the book in his hand.

Looking down at his waving hands, it was as if he had pressed a speed-up button; his normal movements began to slow down, and the degree of slowing down varied as Uchiha Kiyoshi urged them on.

"It's amazing! In the same amount of time, you can observe the same process from a slower angle! Is this the Sharingan's perceptive ability? A single tomoe is already impressive; I wonder what the amplification would be with double or triple tomoe! And what about the even more advanced Mangekyou Sharingan...?"
