The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

With this, Uchiha Kiyoshi's "propulsion" device was completed.

Alternatively, it could be named after a characteristic of the ninja world; "Water Vapor Propulsion Technique" would be more suitable. (I'm terrible at naming things, please don't criticize.)

The entire development process went very smoothly and the results were ideal. Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't wait to try it out.

He constructed a shell beneath his feet in advance. To make things easier, Uchiha Kiyoshi reduced the thickness, or height, of the shell this time, so as not to affect his normal movements.

With the combined version of Body Flicker Technique activated, the instant his feet left the ground, Uchiha Kiyoshi constructed a water vapor conversion structure, detonated chakra, and a large amount of water vapor was ejected from the outer shell, propelling Uchiha Kiyoshi in the opposite direction, making Uchiha Kiyoshi's speed even greater.

"The speed has increased by 20%, which is more than double what it was before!"

After carefully considering his feelings, Uchiha Kiyoshi made this judgment.

The effect of this technique is quite remarkable. If it could be further modified and a buffer device added, then a more powerful steam burst could be used without affecting the damage to the feet.

In addition to the buffer device, there are also continuous improvements.

As this process continues, the driving force achievable with water vapor will become increasingly greater...

Eh?

Getting bigger and bigger?

What if it could be so strong that it exceeded its own gravity?

Wow, does that mean we can fly?

Uchiha Kiyoshi's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

Flight, a capability that humankind has longed for since ancient times.

As far as Uchiha Kiyoshi knows, the only ninjutsu that allows flight are Onoki's ultimate Super Light Heavy Rock Technique, Konan's Shikigami Dance, Sasuke's second form of the Heaven's Curse Seal, and the Akimichi clan's Butterfly Transformation.

Among them, the only techniques that can be used normally for a long time are the Ultra-Light Rock Technique and the Dance of Shikigami.

Now, there's one more: Uchiha Kiyoshi's Water Vapor Propulsion Technique.

Um... the name is indeed a bit unpleasant, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is the effect. If the effect is good enough, everything else is negotiable.

However, this is only theoretically feasible.

To truly develop it to that level, Uchiha Kiyoshi will still need to make continuous efforts.

"Also, flying is indeed a point."

There's another direction—mechs.

This is not just Uchiha Kiyoshi's imagination; there is genuine hope in this regard.

Since this technique can generate propulsion from the soles of the feet to increase movement speed, what if it were applied to other places?

The elbow allows for faster punches and knife swings; the waist and shoulders allow for faster turns...

It seems that this technique can be used on any part of the body. As long as all aspects are coordinated, all kinds of movements will be enhanced.

Of course, this requires constant practice; theoretically, only then can such an effect be achieved.

If not handled properly, it won't be a blessing, but rather a disruption.

This is just the most basic mech, with an outer shell filled with steam jets covering the body, greatly increasing the body's mobility.

There's also a deluxe version.

The core of this technique is actually equivalent to an internal combustion engine.

In this way, many things can actually be manufactured.

Iron Man suits might even be possible to manufacture.

After all, the most basic power source for the machine to operate has been solved, the next step is the structural design, and finally, everything is simplified, and a suit of armor is completed.

It doesn't need as many functions as the Iron Man suit; it only needs to be used for combat.

In the future, we might even be able to construct giants similar to Susanoo, and then use devices like propulsion techniques to move these giants—that would be Gundam.

Wow, is this a hand-crafted Gundam?

Of course, these are just ideas, and Uchiha Kiyoshi hasn't decided yet whether or not to conduct a study on them.

After all, a set of armor used in combat involves a vast amount of mechanical knowledge, and Uchiha Kiyoshi wasn't a professional in this field in his previous life; he only had junior high and high school education, and his understanding of these things was superficial. These ideas are just ideas; putting them into practice would be quite difficult.

Perhaps we can find someone to collaborate on research in the future, but that's not possible at the moment.

The idea of ​​hand-crafting a Gundam is even more outrageous.

I have Sharingan, why would I research such ninjutsu? Am I crazy?

Wouldn't it be better to use this time to think about how to open a kaleidoscope or an eternal kaleidoscope?

So, the idea is ideal, but the reality is harsh.

Good ideas don't necessarily have to be implemented; after all, it all comes down to the cost-effectiveness of implementing the idea.

Battle suits and Gundams are out of the question, but applying propulsion techniques to various parts of the body is something we could try.

It doesn't need to be integrated into conventional methods; it just needs to be usable in emergency situations.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's real focus should be on modifying his outer shell, striving to achieve the ability to fly as soon as possible.

With the ability to fly, Uchiha Kiyoshi's safety would be even more assured.

After all, if you can't win, you can just fly away, and no one can do anything about it.

The method is a bit dirty, but it's very effective.

"Sigh, let's just do the research honestly."

This technique has quite a lot of potential.

Although he decided to continue researching this technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not proceed directly to it here, but planned to do so after returning home.

Since this is meant to be a trump card, it's best not to reveal the research process.

For the next few hours, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not conduct any further research, but instead continued to experiment with combining the Body Flicker Technique and the Push Technique, while also adapting to the "pulling" force.

Unbeknownst to him, Uchiha Kiyoshi's Body Flicker Technique became increasingly refined, and his speed continued to improve. Finally, with the aid of the Push Technique, his speed even caught up with that of a ninjutsu-type Body Flicker Technique.

Uchiha Kiyoshi became increasingly proficient in activating the Body Flicker Technique, and the number of hand seals he formed gradually decreased until finally he only needed three seals to activate the Body Flicker Technique with the best effect he could achieve.

Three stamps, in less than a second.

Finally, today's training ended, and Uchiha Kiyoshi returned home to begin his research.

Chapter 102 Chakra Form Changes

Back home, after having dinner, Uchiha Kiyoshi went to his study, intending to study the Propulsion Technique.

The allure of flight is still very strong. Uchiha Kiyoshi has even temporarily put aside his research on the theory of Body Flicker Technique, and is just practicing by improving his skills during the day.

To master the Body Flicker Technique, spend some time studying it each day and then practice it the next day. This approach is far more effective than simply training, both in terms of the depth and breadth of your Body Flicker Technique mastery.

Uchiha Kiyoshi has even stopped this research now, which shows how tempting the prospect of flight is.

It wasn't just out of a yearning for flight; more importantly, this excellent means of survival was extremely important to Uchiha Kiyoshi.

There are four ninjutsu that allow flight, and there are naturally many other methods, but at this stage, it seems that only Onoki's Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique can be used for flight with no or minimal side effects.

This means that as long as Uchiha Kiyoshi can master the means of flight, his safety will be greatly guaranteed in the early stages.

Its strategic level is even no lower than that of the Substitution Technique.

After all, there are still ways to seal off space. Moreover, the distance that the Substitution Technique can cover is ultimately short. The replacement object can only be set up in advance. If you haven't set up the replacement object in advance, and the enemy has special measures to prevent you from throwing replacement kunai over a wide area, then even without sealing off space, you won't be in a good position.

As he watched the fist-sized ball of chakra that he released in his hand constantly shift and change, Uchiha Kiyoshi fell into deep thought.

"The so-called structure is actually the transformation of chakra form."

"Whether it's a change in the shape of chakra or a strengthening of it, these are all forms of change. According to my classification, form changes also include the temporary transformation of chakra into matter, such as wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth."

"The outer shell structure of the Propulsion Technique is said to be similar to that of the Nourishing Vitality Technique, but there are also differences."

The structure constructed by the Nourishing Vitality Technique ultimately simulates the stomach's absorption of food and cells' extraction of energy within the body; it cannot materialize chakra.

The outer shell of the Pushing Technique is different; it's performed externally, so materializing chakra has no effect.

"The most important thing is that no matter how much you reinforce it, chakra is not matter, but a kind of energy, so it is still very difficult to reinforce it."

If chakra could be converted into a corresponding substance, then strengthening it would be much easier.

The principle behind water vapor propulsion is simple, but it still has many hard requirements.

If you want to increase the propulsion force, not to mention how to make the cushioning device, the load-bearing capacity of the outer shell alone must meet the standards, right?

As an energy source, chakra is still somewhat inadequate at binding water vapor; it can only be firmly "locked" by Uchiha Kiyoshi's control. In terms of reinforcement, only Uchiha Kiyoshi's forceful control, combined with the compression of chakra, can achieve such an effect.

The drawbacks of doing so are too obvious.

With its current explosive power, it has actually reached the limit that Uchiha Kiyoshi can restrain.

Materializing chakra is also a necessary step.

The transformation of chakra form and the transformation of its nature have always been referred to as parallels. The direction of the transformation of nature is very clear, which is the training of each nature, which is applied to chakra or the corresponding materialized form of it, and the effect is very obvious.

Form changes are actually not that useful.

Aside from the initial learning of chakra shape changes and materialization, the direction of subsequent training was actually very unclear, and even the entire ninja world did not consider this aspect.

In the later stages, he focused mainly on cultivating the nature of things, but neglected the changes in form.

From this connection to the changes in the form of chakra, Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered this problem.

With changes in form, is there any deeper direction for cultivation?

It definitely exists, but nobody pays attention or ignores it.

Or perhaps, this path of cultivation is simply too difficult.

Uchiha Kiyoshi leans towards the last hypothesis, but it's too difficult.

What is morphological change?

Isn't it just the changes of chakra in various forms? Deeper levels of cultivation naturally lead to this direction.

A deeper level of morphological change, considering both breadth and depth.

In terms of breadth, there are different forms of materialization.
