The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Uchiha resisted the urge to kick the guy out and roughly explained the rights and obligations of Uchiha Kiyoshi after he became a core member.

Actually, there wasn't much for Uchiha Kiyoshi to do. He just had to obey orders when the clan needed him. The clan wouldn't send him to his death, since each pair of three-tomoe jade ornaments was a treasure of the clan.

That's about all the obligations, and the family doesn't force every member to obey orders at all times.

These obligations require you to do almost nothing, but the benefits are enormous.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's previous treatment was essentially a stripped-down version of the benefits for core members; now, these benefits have been doubled and permanently fixed.

In addition, the clan provides subsidies and corresponding ninjutsu training methods every year.

If you are lucky enough to live to retirement age, the clan may even provide you with some jobs and a pension.

In short, everything is available.

Having said all that, what's most useful for Uchiha Kiyoshi right now is the method of training ninjutsu.

The unclaimed rewards accumulated over the past two years, plus the rewards for advancing from Genin to Jonin in ninja rank, the rewards for advancing to core member this time, and the clan rewards for making great contributions on the battlefield—all these combined mean that Uchiha Kiyoshi can receive five B-rank ninjutsu and three ninjutsu equivalent to A-rank.

The reason it is said to be equivalent is because the Uchiha clan's most proficient fire jutsu does not have an A-rank, and naturally, they do not have any other jutsu either. Therefore, it can be said that they can receive an equivalent ninjutsu.

To say there isn't one isn't entirely true.

The Uchiha clan's Fire Release techniques far surpass ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu. Their B-rank Great Fire Annihilation technique is far more powerful than other ninjutsu of the same rank. When mastered to a high level, it can even rival S-rank ninjutsu!

Rather than saying that the Uchiha clan lacked A-rank or higher Fire Release techniques, it's more accurate to say that they simplified high-level ninjutsu, greatly reducing the difficulty of learning them.

The ninjutsu equivalent to rank A mentioned here refers to rank A ninjutsu with normal power.

The Great Fireball technique extinguishes these B-rank ninjutsu, which would qualify it as an A-rank spot.

Even so, Uchiha Kiyoshi was not disappointed.

On the contrary, he felt he had made a profit!

The Uchiha clan's fire-style ninjutsu is truly the strongest in the ninja world, no exaggeration. Take the C-rank Great Fireball Technique, for example; even now, Uchiha Kiyoshi can still use it. It's just that many times, in order to quickly kill the enemy, Uchiha Kiyoshi chooses other ninjutsu.

In a normal, protracted battle, Uchiha Kiyoshi used the Great Fireball Technique most frequently.

Led by the clan head, Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at the archives room, a place he hadn't visited in a long time.

"Elder Xiong, I've come here with Qing to get some ninjutsu."

"Oh? Qing boy, it's been a long time since you've been here."

Hehe, go ahead, third floor.

Next, give this token to the guard on the third floor, and you can choose a ninjutsu from there. However, you'll have to choose it yourself.

Uchiha Kiyoya knew this before; he had come to choose ninjutsu before. To receive the corresponding ninjutsu, one needed a token given by Elder Xiong and the clan leader's proof.

I just obtained the proof at the clan leader's house, and with the token from Elder Xiong that I just received, I can directly collect my reward on the third floor.

Uchiha Kai had other things to do and couldn't wait for Uchiha Kiyoshi to choose ninjutsu. He went back after entering the data room.

The fact that Uchiha Kai personally brought Uchiha Kiyoshi over already shows how much Uchiha Kaishi values ​​him.

At fifteen years old—no, Uchiha Kiyoshi was only thirteen and a half when he awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan—such talent is considered quite good in the history of the Uchiha clan, so it's not an exaggeration to pay attention to him.

A few hours later, Uchiha Kiyoshi returned home with the ninjutsu scrolls he had selected and copied.

"It's a pity there's no Izanagi."

Izanagi is strictly speaking a forbidden book, and apart from the clan leader and a few elders, no one else in the clan knows about it!

The method for practicing this technique wouldn't be displayed in such a conspicuous place as the archives.

But if it's not there, it's not there.

"These ninjutsu techniques are enough for me to learn."

Looking at the large pile of scrolls in his arms, Uchiha Kiyoshi revealed a satisfied expression.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Kiyoshi first studied several ninjutsu scrolls, wrote them down, and made notes before destroying them.

This is a clan rule to prevent the scrolls on a clansman's person from being taken away if they die outside the clan.

The clan couldn't stop the practice of keeping cultivation notes; they couldn't very well forbid such a fine habit, could they?

The only thing to do is remind the clansmen not to record everything when making records, but only to write down the parts they don't remember clearly.

This also ensures that ninjutsu is not leaked to outsiders to the greatest extent possible.

The gains this time were enormous. Five B-rank ninjutsu greatly enriched Uchiha Kiyoshi's combat methods, and he also gained two A-rank ninjutsu plus the Great Fire Annihilation ninjutsu, which has an extremely high potential.

Over the next few days, Uchiha Kiyoshi studied the selected ninjutsu. Thanks to the improvement of Uchiha Kiyoshi's record of the effects of the chakra micro-circulation, he only spent three days to theoretically master this ninjutsu. With diligent practice, he is expected to completely master these ninjutsu within half a year and even integrate them into his own combat system!

This is also the result of Uchiha Kiyoshi's persistence over the years.

The benefits of Uchiha Kiyoshi's persistent research into these fundamental theories finally began to emerge.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Space-Time Ninjutsu

During the week he spent researching ninjutsu at home, Uchiha Kiyoshi was not completely cut off from the outside world.

He would still go out for a stroll occasionally, after all, this trip back to the village was for recuperation and to relax the tension that had been constantly on his mind during the past two years of battlefield life.

Two years have passed, and some changes have occurred.

First of all, unlike Uchiha Kiyoshi, Fugaku Uchiha did not go to the front lines to participate in the war. Instead, he stayed in the guard unit after the war began and has now even been promoted to company commander.

Ordinary members, squad leaders, company commanders, and deputy commanders—this is the hierarchical division of the guard force.

In just two years, Fugaku Uchiha rose to the position of company commander. He truly deserves to be the future head of the Uchiha clan.

Unlike Uchiha Kiyoshi, Fugaku was constantly on the brink of life and death on the front lines, and his progress was rapid.

In the village, he simply patrols daily to maintain order. Even though they are both in the fastest growth phase of their bodies, Fugaku has only just managed to acquire the combat power of a special Jonin.

That's how the gap widened.

In the past few days, Uchiha Kiyoshi had also met Uchiha Fugaku. The fourteen-year-old Uchiha Fugaku was much more mature than last time.

Although he lacked the murderous aura that Uchiha Kiyoshi carried off the battlefield, he was no less formidable. While he wasn't constantly pushed to his limits in the village, he occasionally faced spies from other villages, so combat was never a shortage.

His former naiveté has been worn away, and he has become much more mature.

However, upon seeing Uchiha Kiyoshi, Fugaku still requested to fight again, wanting to see how much of a difference there was between him and this guy who had a great reputation on the front lines.

Fugaku Uchiha was quite outstanding, having climbed to the position of company commander entirely through his own abilities.

However, compared to Uchiha Kiyoshi, he was far inferior.

In thirty seconds, Uchiha Kiyoshi defeated Uchiha Fugaku in every aspect with overwhelming force.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was initially wondering if he had gone too far, and what if he had made the other person withdrawn.

However, seeing that Uchiha Fugaku quickly recovered, Uchiha Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"No wonder he's destined to become the clan leader; his mental fortitude is far superior to that of the average person."

Among the people Uchiha Kiyoshi knew, besides Uchiha Fugaku, Minato Namikaze also underwent significant changes.

Because of Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze was not drafted to the front lines, but instead stayed in the village to train peacefully.

With the resources left by Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze has made rapid progress in the past two years.

As for the specific extent of his progress, Uchiha Kiyoshi had not yet met him and did not know, the only information he had received was from Fugaku.

However, we learned today that Uchiha Kiyoshi is planning to go find this "friend".

The purpose, of course, is to exchange cultivation experiences.

It's quite difficult for one person to explore and develop the Substitution Technique; it's essential to find someone to discuss it with.

In the ninja world, space-time ninjutsu is a very special category of ninjutsu.

It does not belong to the conventional chakra nature, nor is it even considered a nature.

The reason for saying this is mainly because Uchiha Kiyoshi had never heard of spatial chakra nature transformation, and many space-time ninjutsu were more like simply using ninjutsu to utilize space.

Perhaps chakra itself can only influence space, but does not possess the property of space itself.

If we really have to talk about spatial attributes, Uchiha Kiyoshi thinks it's more reasonable for this attribute to be possessed by the bodies of some special individuals.

Chakra does not possess spatial attributes. Some special ninjas do possess this attribute, otherwise the Flying Thunder God Technique would not have been mastered only by the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage throughout history.

This attribute might also vary in strength. In the original work, the three members of the Fourth Hokage's guard were able to perform the Flying Lightning Formation technique together. Perhaps their spatial attribute wasn't strong enough, resulting in them only learning half of the space-time ninjutsu.

Or, to be more precise, everyone has spatial attributes, just to varying degrees?

After all, summoning jutsu is also a kind of space-time ninjutsu. Although it uses a summoning contract, it is still a space-time ninjutsu.

So many people can use summoning jutsu, does that mean that all ninjas possess this attribute to some extent?

The spell of spirit communication has the help of a contract and does not have high requirements for spatial attributes, so it is not that difficult to learn.

Uchiha Kiyoshi leans more towards the latter view, believing that everyone possesses spatial attributes to some extent.

Most importantly, this attribute can be improved!

This is Uchiha Kiyoshi's personal experience. In recent years, with the frequent use of Substitution Technique, he has become more and more adept at spatial perception.

This is why he dared to say that spatial attributes could be improved.

Just like developing a new chakra attribute, spatial attributes can also be developed.

However, it seems that this development is not easy to achieve at present.

After all, so many ninjas have used the Substitution Jutsu quite a bit, yet their spatial attributes haven't improved at all.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's spatial abilities were developed primarily because he frequently performed spatial substitutions at extreme distances in order to develop the Substitution Technique.

Yes, that's true.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's daily body swaps covered hundreds of meters, unlike the few meters swaps performed by other ninjas. His body traversed a much larger spatial range, making it more likely that he was passively developing spatial attributes as a result.

"I wonder if Minato has started learning the Flying Thunder God Technique yet."

Uchiha Kiyoshi finally realized a problem at this point.

He didn't know when Minato Namikaze started learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

If it hasn't started yet, will I have made a wasted trip?

As for coming back later, Uchiha Kiyoshi simply gave up on the idea.
