The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Five shadow clones represent the limit of memories that Uchiha Kiyoshi can handle relatively easily. Going beyond that isn't impossible, but the sheer volume of memories would inevitably cause his head to swell, affecting his cultivation.

Today, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't go home on time. He stayed at the Ninth Training Ground for two extra hours, until he could cut the leaves 100% of the time.

"I've finally developed the wind attribute to a basic level, and I can start practicing the four wind-style ninjutsu."

This training method is naturally based on Naruto's training in the original work. It's just that the other party's training method is the first stage. However, the other party was training the nature change, while this one is just developing the attribute. Completing the first stage is enough to successfully develop the wind attribute.

The first stage of training alone, which was far from reaching the level of nature transformation, took Uchiha Kiyoshi and his five shadow clones more than half a month.

Indeed, cultivating innate attributes and developing attributes later in life are two completely different concepts.

When Uchiha Kiyoshi was training in the three chakra release techniques of water, fire, and earth, everything went very smoothly. Unlike now, after training for half a month, he can only barely manage to convert wind-style chakra.

Cutting open the leaves doesn't mean Uchiha Kiyoshi has successfully developed wind style; it only means that Uchiha Kiyoshi can now convert wind style chakra.

The so-called chakra attribute conversion is strictly speaking a form of shape change, and it is the basis for performing corresponding attribute escape techniques.

Only by converting chakra of the corresponding attribute can one use ninjutsu of that attribute.

There's a reason behind this transformation.

Many people can complete the conversion outside the body, but it is rare to be able to convert it directly inside the body.

The body possesses a certain chakra attribute, which means it can complete this process within the body.

This means that the body can adapt to this attribute and directly convert it without damaging the meridians.

The innate attribute, when cultivated, is simply learning the chakra of that attribute that the body itself can convert; it's that simple.

Those attributes not possessed innately require constant practice to learn how to convert them externally before using the technique. However, this not only significantly slows down the speed of casting ninjutsu but also greatly affects its power.

The execution of ninjutsu relies on the internal circulation of chakra, which imparts specific properties and is then released. When you circulate ninjutsu, it is all non-attribute chakra. Only external attribute chakra is used to activate ninjutsu, which naturally reduces the power of ninjutsu.

The subsequent development refers to continuous practice, constantly converting chakra attributes outside the body, allowing the body to gradually adapt until it can directly convert them within the body.

This process takes a long time; even a typical Jonin needs more than six months of continuous training to complete it.

Moreover, this is based on the premise that one is already capable of converting this kind of chakra.

Uchiha Kiyoshi has now completed the most basic step: converting his chakra into wind-style chakra.

He can now use Wind Release.

To unleash a true Wind Release ninjutsu.

Chapter 112 Frontline Situation

I got home a few hours late.

Just after we finished eating, a masked ninja scaled over the wall and came in.

Uchiha Kiyoshi rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"These people are really something, can't they just use the door?"

This is the Uchiha clan's territory. Even ANBU ninjas wouldn't so openly climb over the wall; they would at most stand on the wall and wouldn't climb over.

The only ones who managed to get in were fellow Uchiha clan ninjas, and members of the clan leader's guard.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi, the clan head wants to see you."

After saying that, he climbed over the wall again.

"You still climb over the wall? There's a door, why don't you use it? Are you sick?"

I'll spend some time fixing the wall, or setting a trap for you.

"I bet you won't change after you've suffered a bit."

With a grumble, Uchiha Kiyoya began packing, preparing to head to the clan head's house to see what the clan head wanted to see him about.

Ten minutes later, at the clan chief's house.

Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived here again and easily made his way to the clan leader's study.

Uchiha Kai is indeed a good clan leader. He spends a lot of time every day dealing with clan affairs, and he's still in his study so late.

"Chief, you wanted to see me?"

Walking up to the clan head's table, Uchiha Kiyoshi spoke.

Uchiha Kai had already sensed Uchiha Kiyoshi's arrival. He raised his head, his expression slightly grave.

The clan leader's expression made Uchiha Kiyoshi tense. What could have caused the clan leader such trouble, and was it related to him?

Could it be that Danzo's side is causing trouble again?

Uchiha Kai's words dispelled Uchiha Kiyoshi's idea; it wasn't Danzo's side causing trouble, but rather intelligence from the front lines.

"I have just received some intelligence about the front lines."

Overall, Konoha still holds the upper hand.

However, Sunagakure dispatched their puppet troops and used a large amount of poison, resulting in heavy casualties at the front lines.

Moreover, although Konoha holds the upper hand, the battle is extremely fierce, far exceeding the previous fight against Amegakure. Three Konoha Jonin have already perished.

Hearing the clan leader's words, Uchiha Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it was something serious, but it turns out the situation at the front is tense.

It's nothing, I have the Substitution Technique, so my safety is guaranteed.

"Don't take this lightly. The battle with the Land of Wind at the front is escalating. The three Jonin are just casualties from the previous battles."

Furthermore, the poison used by Sunagakure this time is said to be very difficult to deal with. Many ninjas on the front lines have been poisoned, and even those who did not die have lost their ability to fight. Moreover, an antidote has not yet been developed.

I've heard that even Jonin (high-ranking ninja) can't withstand this toxin.

Seeing that Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't seem to care, Uchiha Kaito became displeased and emphasized it again.

"Oh, right, there are also the puppets of Sunagakure. The puppeteers of Sunagakure can control multiple puppets at the same time to fight, which gives them an advantage in battles of the same level. The puppets themselves are exceptionally sturdy and difficult to deal with, and they may even be poisoned. You have to be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Chieftain. I understand."

The clan leader kindly reminded him, and Uchiha Kiyoshi, naturally, wouldn't be oblivious. His expression turned serious, and he earnestly expressed his gratitude.

Uchiha nodded in satisfaction, feeling quite gratified.

The problem is that young people are impetuous and don't know how to restrain themselves, so they suffer losses due to carelessness.

It's one thing to suffer losses in other matters, but you can't afford to suffer losses in war, otherwise the price will be lives.

Thinking of Uchiha Kiyoshi's past personality and style of doing things, Uchiha Jie felt more at ease, reached out and patted Uchiha Kiyoshi's shoulder, and said with emotion.

"Qing, you are a sensible child and have always been very careful, so I am at ease about that."

Uchiha Sei nodded in agreement.

"Besides this matter, there's something else I wanted to discuss with you here."

Danzo has really suffered a huge loss this time. You need to be careful. Don't be fooled by his recent inaction; he's definitely brewing a major attack.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was aware of this and was also paying attention to it.

However, Root has suffered heavy losses and probably can't spare any manpower to deal with him. If Danzo makes a move again, it might not be Root coming, but rather him selling his own information.

Uchiha Kai gave a few more instructions before letting Uchiha Kiyoshi leave.

Yes, a very responsible clan leader.

At least that's how Uchiha Kiyoshi sees it.

This time, I learned quite a bit of intelligence from the clan chief.

It's not just about how tense the front lines are, or how many ninjas have died; it also includes the current situation, the general layout of the front lines, and the frequency of battles.

He gave a detailed account of all the basic information from the front lines, which showed that the clan leader truly valued this genius of the clan.

There are very few ninjas in the Uchiha clan who have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of thirteen, so of course they should be protected.

The intelligence from the front lines did not cause Uchiha Kiyoshi too much concern, as it was within his expectations.

The Second Shinobi World War ended in the same year that the Three Legendary Shinobi made their names, meaning the war will end this year. Naturally, that war was incredibly brutal.

"I've now mastered all three aspects of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. My strength is quite good among elite jonin. The threat of war is much smaller. If all else fails, I still have the Substitution Technique. If I really encounter danger, I can just run away."

The fact that there were not many Kage-level shinobi lost in the Second Shinobi World War indicates that all sides exercised restraint. Even the most intense battles were fought between low-level shinobi, while the battles between truly top-tier fighters were very restrained.

"It would be better to try to create a clone now, otherwise, given the current level of security in the village, it will be very difficult for the clone to sneak in."

Creating a clone requires a corpse, and it must be a living body, so Uchiha Kiyoshi needs to kill someone, preferably a ninja with considerable strength.

He speculated that the maximum amount of secondary chakra that a clone could extract would be affected not only by the shadow clone itself, but also by the body itself.

Without any issue of stance, it's impossible to arbitrarily kill an innocent ninja like Uchiha Kiyoshi, so the only target can be the Root organization.

It's just a pity for Danzo. He's spent so much effort on replenishing the Root forces, and now they've been targeted by Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"No rush. It's best not to get caught if we're going to make a move."

Danzo and his group will definitely suspect me then, and I'll have to find a way to solve this problem.

And it's best to do it a day or two before they leave, so that they'll have no choice but to give up whatever they want to do.

Back home, Uchiha Kiyoshi studied the four Wind Release ninjutsu again, preparing for his next training session.

Then, I found a few basic Wind Release ninjutsu in my notes from a few years ago and began to record and organize the small chakra cycles involved in Wind Release ninjutsu.

To date, he has named more than 230 chakra loops, and most of the common and frequently used ones have been recorded, laying a good foundation for the future development of ninjutsu.

Chapter 113 Tearing Off the Face

With only two days left before returning to the front lines, Uchiha Kiyoshi has already begun preparations.

First, there's the Wind Release ninjutsu. After five days of training, I can now occasionally use it successfully. As long as I practice hand seals and chakra manipulation in my spare time at the front lines, I can join the battle.

Secondly, there's the issue of clones. It's essential to leave a clone in Konoha beforehand. On one hand, it can be used to target Danzo at any time, and on the other hand, it allows Danzo to quickly learn about events happening in the village.

Finally, there's the issue of meritorious service.

Uchiha Kiyoshi has accumulated quite a few merits in the past two years, and he has been looking forward to exchanging them for a few ninjutsu.

The forbidden techniques in the Book of Seals are all valuable.
