The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

......

"Qing, I heard you had a conflict with the Root ninja a few days ago?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi was training at the Ninth Training Ground when Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato came over together.

Although the events of the past few days haven't spread widely, they were still significant in essence, and given the circumstances of the two individuals, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find out.

"It's nothing. What Root ninja? Just a spy from another village. He was impersonating an Anbu ninja to spy on me, but I found out and killed him."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kiyoshi's explanation, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

Indeed, shamelessness knows no bounds.

If you can describe our relationship like this, what would you say to the Hokage?

I can't find any loopholes in what you just said. No wonder you're still alive and kicking after killing the Root ninja!

The two men, having heard about the situation, came to check on Uchiha Kiyoshi out of concern.

Seeing that Uchiha Kiyoshi was indeed alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qing, don't bother with Danzo."

That guy is a mad dog; he bites anyone he sees.

Fugaku Uchiha seemed to have a deep understanding of Danzo, and what he said made a lot of sense.

"It's not like I'm the one causing him trouble."

Uchiha Kiyoya knew that, but Danzo was just relentlessly targeting him. He couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could he?

Fugaku Uchiha could sense Kiyoshi Uchiha's helplessness and could only offer his silent sympathy.

Uchiha Kiyoya saw something in his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Anyway, I'll be free soon, but that's another story."

"You're sympathizing with me? You'd be better off sympathizing with yourself."

However, it's not easy to say these things out loud. Considering that you came to comfort me this time, I can only lend a hand when I have the chance in the future.

They originally came to comfort Uchiha Kiyoshi, but he was perfectly fine, leaving Fugaku and Minato Namikaze quite embarrassed.

Minato Namikaze is alright, he's just naturally clueless.

He scratched his head and grinned foolishly, looking like a sunny, cheerful young man, and showed no signs of embarrassment.

Fugaku Uchiha was different; anyone with eyes could see the embarrassment on his face.

"Since you're here, let's have a fight. I'll take on both of you by myself."

To ease the awkwardness, Uchiha Kiyoshi proposed a battle, after all, fighting is the romance of men.

Fugaku and Uchiha couldn't stand it anymore. Although they couldn't beat him, he was clearly looking down on them by fighting two against one. They both agreed to the fight.

Chapter 108 The Flaw of Doppelgangers

The three fought a fierce battle, and the winner was undoubtedly Uchiha Kiyoshi.

After all, the difference in strength is too great, and quantity cannot make up for it.

As expected, fighting was a great way to vent one's emotions. After a battle, Uchiha Kiyoshi's pent-up feelings finally eased.

The research and development of the art of propulsion has reached its current limit, and further improvement will not be achieved in a short period of time.

Kiyoshi Uchiha began to re-plan his research time after returning home each evening.

First, the gravity barrier needs to be studied, but there is too little time and it may not be completed, so let's postpone the study for now.

Secondly, Uchiha Kiyoshi recently felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck.

Once he has mastered the Body Flicker Technique, Push Technique, and Genjutsu he is currently practicing, his strength will truly reach a bottleneck.

Above elite ninjas, below Kage level.

Of course, it's not at the near-Kage level. It's just top-tier strength among elite Jonin.

It's important to clarify here that "quasi-Kage level" is not a specific level, but rather a transitional stage that represents someone who has surpassed the Kage level but still needs time to refine their skills.

This gave Uchiha Kiyoshi an idea.

By then, Uchiha Kiyoshi will have a solid foundation and can try to develop his own ninjutsu.

What belongs to others will always belong to others; only the techniques you develop yourself are the most suitable for you.

Unlike the ninjutsu he had developed before, Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to develop truly advanced ninjutsu, techniques that were like finishing moves.

Perhaps this will allow me to break through the threshold of the Kage level.

However, this cannot be accomplished in a short time, especially since I haven't fully mastered techniques like Body Flicker Technique yet, so there's no rush.

Given this, what should we study now?

To be honest, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't have any goals at the beginning.

However, when he thought of creating another clone to teach Danzo a lesson, he remembered his clone technique.

The clone technique has many advantages, but they are not obvious and do not conform to Uchiha Kiyoshi's initial conception of it.

The main problem is chakra. Once it's used up, it's useless, which is completely a waste of all the sealing techniques used to create the clones.

Even if it can be reused and more shadow clones can be sealed, it's still not quite enough.

Sealing more shadow clones will eventually deplete the reserves, and we can only wait for Uchiha Kiyoshi to replenish them personally, which is still quite troublesome.

The most obvious drawback is that the clone's usage time is too short.

If only we could refine chakra.

The clone refines its own chakra!

This way, the clones can replenish their own chakra, solving the problem of insufficient chakra. The usage time of the clones will be greatly increased, and both combat and daily consumption can be replenished. Perhaps a single clone can last for half a year or even a year!

This was also Uchiha Kiyoshi's initial idea, but he forgot about it later and has now remembered it again.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had this idea from the beginning.

The clones created by the clone technique have bodies, real physical bodies, and their energy can be extracted.

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi's Nourishing Energy Technique created a structure that could replace the stomach for digestion and cells for extracting energy from the body, it still had limitations.

This process is difficult to complete entirely from the outside; Uchiha Kiyoshi now needs the cooperation of various secretions from his body to complete this extraction.

For example, some special enzymes need to be provided by the body, so we still depend on the body to a certain extent.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's clone technique is not just a technique for controlling the body, but a technique that maintains the body's activity and function throughout the process.

Those sealing techniques and spells that were carved in the inscription were not useless.

With the physical condition and one's own cultivation techniques, the body's energy can be refined.

What's lacking now is spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Kiyoshi's understanding of spiritual energy was always very superficial, and it was inconvenient to conduct research on it at the front lines, so it was shelved.

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi has not yet gained a deeper understanding of spiritual energy, he has an exceptionally quiet environment, which is perfect for research.

Perfecting this secret technique won't take too long; once you find the direction, you can start experimenting.

However, there are too many uncertainties. Uchiha Kiyoshi does not have a deep understanding of spiritual energy. Even if he has some conjectures, he can only verify them through experiments. If he fails, all his time will be wasted.

"I took the gamble."

In the end, Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to take the gamble, hoping to also gain some insight into spiritual energy.

......

The Shimura family.

Danzo has managed to sort out his thoughts after being confined for the past two days.

The Third Hokage summoned him and gave him a thorough dressing-down, essentially saying that Danzo had gone too far by sending people to monitor the village ninjas without his permission. Danzo was completely dumbfounded.

Just as they were wondering why the ninjas sent to monitor Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't returned to report, the Third Hokage arrived.

It's just making a decision on your own. You've done that all the time before. Why are you so angry this time?

In the past two days, thanks to the investigation by the Shimura clan ninjas, the whole story has been clarified.

Danzo then learned that the ninja he had sent to monitor Uchiha Kiyoshi had been killed, and that he had been killed under the pretense of being a spy. This time, the Third Hokage did not even blame him, but instead punished him in accordance with his words!

"hateful!

Uchiha Kiyoshi is distorting the truth. He clearly knew about the existence of Root; he did it on purpose!

They're now openly accusing and killing Root ninjas; it's utterly lawless and will destroy the village sooner or later.

No, people like that must be eliminated.

"Hiruzen, you can't do this."

Uchiha Kiyoshi deliberately killed a Root ninja; he is the one who deserves the most punishment!

With Uchiha Kiyoshi and Danzo no longer causing trouble in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage finally had a much quieter time.

With the commotion gone these past two days, he finally had some peace and quiet, and things went much more smoothly when dealing with government affairs.

As for Uchiha Kiyoshi's side, without Danzo's provocation, things finally quieted down.

Reports from the Anbu ninjas over the past two days indicate that Uchiha Kiyoshi has been diligently training and has shown no signs of causing trouble.

Sure enough, the problem lay with Danzo.

Unfortunately, Danzo couldn't be kept imprisoned indefinitely. He still needed Danzo to lead the Root organization to help him eliminate hidden threats. Danzo didn't have the strength of the First or Second Hokage, and he couldn't hold onto his position by himself alone.

Once Danzo has reflected on his actions and stopped causing trouble, let's release him. The war is almost over, and there are many things the Root organization needs to do.

After so many incidents, the Root organization is severely understaffed and needs Danzo to add more people; he can't handle these things on his own.

Many people can actually see through the Third Hokage's thoughts, but they just choose not to say it.

How could Uchiha Kiyoshi not know?

Danzo won't be imprisoned for long this time; he'll be released soon.

After all, the war was almost over, and all the villages were in dire need of rebuilding. It was the best time to place spies, and Danzo's Roots were indispensable.
