The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Is this the power of a top-tier ninja? I can sense it even from this distance. Moving mountains and filling seas wouldn't be much different, would it?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi realized once again that the power of a top-tier ninja was far beyond what he could currently match.

"Orochimaru, who hasn't even broken through yet, is already this powerful. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if real Kage-level powerhouses clashed."

How powerful must the even more mighty God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, have been!

Is this truly a power that humans can control?

Uchiha Kiyoshi realized there was an even greater power, and at that moment, a slight wavering appeared in his heart.

However, it was only a trace. As a transmigrator, Uchiha Kiyoshi remained confident and regained his composure.

Not only Uchiha Kiyoshi, but also Nawaki, Sarutobi Saku, and even the Sand Ninja who were chasing after them, were all shocked and extremely surprised by the scale of the Jonin's battle. To be precise, it wasn't that the Jonin's battle was large in scale, but rather that Orochimaru's combination ninjutsu was truly powerful.

These were things they couldn't possibly know from a kilometer away; they only sensed the commotion coming from the battlefield near the Jonin's location and assumed it was from a battle between the two sides.

The two Sand Village Jonin were not particularly strong, but Orochimaru's combination ninjutsu still caused them considerable damage, even with their best efforts to defend.

Within the radius of the Sunagakure camp, and with the three students' current situation unknown, Orochimaru didn't want to waste any time and only wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. He immediately used his most powerful combination ninjutsu.

It seems that the combination of ninjutsu is quite effective, severely injuring two Jonin. Judging from the situation, I should be able to finish this off quickly.

Chapter Seventy-Eight Unexpected

Orochimaru immediately attacked with heavy force, severely injuring two Jonin from Sunagakure. He then engaged the two in a swift and decisive battle.

the other side.

Uchiha Kiyoshi and his two companions had run another kilometer, and were now about seven kilometers away from the Sunagakure camp.

In fact, Uchiha Kiyoshi's physical abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, and he could have been much faster. However, in order to take care of Nawaki and the other two, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not deliberately run at full speed.

Every now and then, Uchiha Kiyoshi would find an opportunity to block the pursuers behind them, buying time for Nawaki and the other two.

The three of them could have split up and run away, but considering that Nawaki was likely the one who would be killed in this accident, Uchiha Kiyoshi had no choice but to abandon that plan. With him by his side, Nawaki should be less likely to accidentally fall into an explosive tag pit or any other trap.

From the time he entered school at age six until now, so many years have passed, and Nawaki has become Uchiha Kiyoshi's best friend. Uchiha Kiyoshi, who didn't have many friends to begin with, naturally valued his friendship with Nawaki even more.

This is also the first time in many years that he has tried to actively change the plot, making significant alterations.

"Qing, let's split up and run; that should be more efficient."

Sarutobi Saku also sensed something was wrong and realized that the two of them might be dragging Uchiha Kiyoshi down, so he offered his advice.

"No need. We can handle the pursuers behind us. It's just that this is Sunagakure's home ground, and we don't want to confront them head-on."

Rejecting Sarutobi Saku's suggestion, Uchiha Kiyoshi continued his escape with the two of them.

Looking back at the Sand Ninja closely following behind, judging the distance, and feeling that he could deal with them in a short time, Uchiha Kiyoshi made a decision.

"You two keep running forward."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped in his tracks, and a dozen kunai carrying explosive tags flew out.

"Boom! Boom!"

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Sand Ninja were not killed, but two of them were hit head-on by the explosive tags and lost their fighting ability.

After fleeing all the way, Uchiha Kiyoshi kept changing his route, and only a few Sand Ninjas caught up with him, but now two more are gone.

"Hmph! Do you really think we're made of clay?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi sneered, formed hand seals, and unleashed a multi-target attack using the Phoenix Flower Technique. He then turned and followed Nawaki and the other two.

Because of Uchiha Kiyoshi's actions, the Sand Ninja behind them didn't dare to pursue too closely, keeping a distance and waiting for reinforcements.

The members of Team 3 were running as fast as they could, their attention focused on what was behind them. At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi sensed danger—danger from ahead. Without thinking, he shouted to warn the other two.

"Watch out! Enemies ahead!"

A flash of fire appeared, and four enormous fire dragons came straight at us, the terrifying heat making it hard to breathe.

Trusting Uchiha Kiyoshi, Nawaki and Sarutobi Saku immediately formed hand seals.

"Water Formation Wall Technique"

"The Art of Earth Flowing Through Walls"

Each of them unleashed the defensive ninjutsu they had mastered.

Uchiha Kiyoshi reacted the fastest, releasing an Earth Flow Wall in front of him while simultaneously activating his Sharingan to try and see the source of the attack.

Four ninjas wearing strange masks appeared and charged directly at Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Upon seeing his opponent's attire, Uchiha Kiyoshi was filled with rage.

"The roots!"

With this obstruction, the Sand Ninja and their support teams caught up.

The odds are against them!

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi wished he could tear Danzo apart. He even sent people to arrange for ninjas to block their way back, stabbing them in the back, which was the most upsetting thing.

At this moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi also had a sudden realization.

No wonder Tsunade treated Danzo and the Third Hokage so badly, even though Nawaki was killed by the explosive tags.

Rope Tree's death is suspicious!

Even if they accidentally stumbled into the explosive tag pit, it was because they were panicking and had no choice but to run away, forced by the Root ninjas!

Unfortunately, Uchiha Kiyoshi was helpless at this point. There were too many enemies, and even with his Substitution Jutsu, he wasn't fatally injured. But Nawaki and the other two were in trouble.

"Rope Tree, Saku, you go first. I'll try my best to hold off the strongest fighters."

Also, Saku, remember to keep an eye on Nawaki. Be careful; this area is within the Sunagakure camp's radius, so there will be plenty of traps.

At this moment, Nawaki didn't even have time to refute Uchiha Kiyoshi. After comparing the difference in strength between the two sides, he could only hate himself for being so weak and unable to help in any way.

First it was Orochimaru, and now it's Kiyoshi.

After only a moment's hesitation, Nawaki and the other followed Uchiha Kiyoshi's instructions and began to break through from the side.

The Root ninjas tried to stop them, but Uchiha Kiyoshi unleashed the Great Dragon Fire Technique, creating a massive fire dragon that blocked their path, forcing them to defend themselves and abandon their pursuit of Nawaki and his companion.

The Dragonfire Technique lasted for a full five seconds, and by the time it ended, Rope Tree and the others had vanished without a trace.

Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, his Sharingan wide open as he surveyed the enemies before and behind him.

"If all else fails, opening the double tomoe is also an option."

There are seven Sand Ninja in total. Of the original six, two were unable to fight and failed to catch up, plus a support team that just arrived.

Two special Jonin and five elite Chunin.

This is a rough assessment made by Uchiha Kiyoshi based on the amount of chakra.

Then there are the Root ninjas, all four of whom are Special Jonin!

"Damn it, old man, I've got it! Four special Jonin, come and intercept us Chunin!"

Having fallen to this point, Uchiha Kiyoshi's greatest hatred actually came from the Root ninjas, and he planned to deal with them first.

He took a soldier's ration pill out of his ninja tool bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without even chewing it.

Feeling his body rapidly recovering, Uchiha Kiyoshi circulated a health-preserving technique, refining his chakra while replenishing the damage to his cells.

There are limits to refining chakra, limits to cells.

Once a certain level is reached, we can only wait for the cells to repair themselves naturally before we can continue refining.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's health preservation technique can ignore this repair process. Although there is a limit to how much he can nourish each day, it does not prevent Uchiha Kiyoshi from using the health preservation technique to make up for the loss of cells.

This means that as long as Uchiha Kiyoshi's body can continuously absorb energy from food, he can keep recovering his chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was naturally aware of this bug and had been using it to conduct various training exercises far exceeding those of ordinary people, relying on the rapid recovery of chakra.

With the same chakra limit of 2,500 calories, a normal ninja can only use 4,000 to 5,000 chakra per day for training, including recovery. However, Uchiha Kiyoshi can reach tens of thousands of chakra per day!

It was precisely because he used this method to recover chakra in his spare time that Uchiha Kiyoya never felt that this method of recovering chakra was so slow.

That's right, it's slow!

This bug only allows Uchiha Kiyoshi to increase the number of times he can recover chakra; it doesn't increase the speed much. The speed at which chakra is recovered depends entirely on how quickly the body's cells absorb energy from food.

This time, facing multiple special Jonin enemies, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt for the first time that his chakra recovery speed was slow.

Actually, it's not slow. The soldier pills are supposed to work quickly. Now, Uchiha Kiyoshi can recover more than 300 calories per minute, and ten minutes is enough to recover all his chakra!

However, in the current context, this speed is a bit "slow".

If only we could extract that energy directly from food...

"Hmm? Seems feasible."

Uchiha Kiyoshi had previously pondered what the energy in food was, and ultimately concluded that it was natural energy, diluted natural energy.

The ability to directly separate and absorb this energy, and further, to directly absorb natural energy from the surrounding environment...

Isn't this the cultivation technique?

At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi seemed to have thought of something, but the reality did not allow him to continue thinking about it, so he could only suppress this thought and study it later.

Chapter Seventy-Nine Madness

The three parties are locked in a standoff, with none making the first move.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was recovering his chakra, and the Sand Village ninja weren't in a hurry either. This place was very close to their camp, and the longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for them.

With his chakra fully restored, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't waste any more time and popped another soldier's ration pill into his mouth.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"

As Uchiha Kiyoshi frantically channeled his chakra, the earth trembled violently, and a towering wall of earth appeared before the Sand Shinobi, closing in to form a shape resembling an earthen prison.

"1,500 calories, not bad. I still have 1,000 calories left."

Uchiha Kiyoshi assessed his chakra depletion and continued forming hand seals.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"

The sharp earthen spear pierced out of the ground swiftly, and before the Root ninja could even dodge, the spear was already out.
