The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Sakumo Hatake was already used to it.

The two have carried out many missions together these days. Whenever they encounter puppeteers from Sunagakure, Uchiha Kiyoshi always acts like this, not sparing either the puppets or the puppeteers.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had no choice; he had to start hoarding money, and this stuff was profitable.

There are also puppeteers, whose own clone techniques are somewhat similar to puppetry, so perhaps they can learn a thing or two from them.

Half a month has passed since Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to the front line.

Over the past two weeks, Uchiha Kiyoshi and Hatake Sakumo have carried out numerous missions together, and have developed a friendship with each other.

Although they are called teammates, they are not actually part of any official team.

Konoha's regular squads consist of three people, so Uchiha Kiyoshi and his companion are not considered a squad.

Our relationship was more about carrying out missions together.

The reason I call them teammates is because Uchiha Kiyoshi's teacher was quite helpful.

Hatake Sakumo is very strong. Partnering with him would not only improve mission efficiency, but also allow him to meet a powerful figure with the potential to become a Kage. That's why he used his privilege to connect Uchiha Kiyoshi and Uchiha Kiyoshi.

The two don't always work together on missions; there are many times when they take on missions alone. They only work together on more difficult missions.

This time, for example, was a rather troublesome task.

Three Sand Village Jonin are already quite troublesome; it would be very difficult for an average elite Jonin to deal with three Jonin-level puppeteers.

That's not enough; the three Jonin are only part of it.

This mission requires the two of them to travel to multiple battlefields; it is a mission specifically targeting the puppeteers of Sunagakure.

This is also why Konoha discovered that Hatake Sakumo had a clear advantage against puppeteers, and Uchiha Kiyoshi himself also had a strong advantage against puppeteers. When the two of them teamed up, they could easily defeat most puppet teams.

This can be considered a cleanup of the puppeteers.

The main problem is that the puppeteers of Sunagakure are too disgusting. A single puppeteer can control too many puppets at the same time, which is equivalent to fighting three, five, or even ten puppeteers at once. And that's just one puppeteer. Add their teammates, or even if their teammates are also puppeteers, and the Konoha team is basically doomed if they encounter them.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the two headed to their next location.

Thus, a rumor began to circulate among the Sand Ninja puppeteers that two Konoha ninjas had carried out a large-scale purge against them.

One of them was skilled in swordsmanship. With a long sword, the enemy would be beheaded in the blink of an eye. They also gave this Konoha ninja the title: Konoha White Fang.

Another Uchiha ninja, with his Sharingan, kunai throwing ability, and formidable close-combat skills, often overwhelmed and killed any ninja he encountered. While he rarely delivered a fatal blow, he killed far more Sand Ninja than Konoha's White Fang. His most memorable feature was his pair of crimson Sharingan eyes, earning him the nickname "Blood-Eyed Asura."

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also aware of the title "Bloody-Eyed Asura".

I still can't help but complain, it doesn't sound good at all. If he finds out who came up with it, he'll definitely teach him a lesson.

What is this? Blood Eyes and Demon Eyes are better than this.

Fine, Blood-Eyed Asura it is. After all, I'm a ninja with a title.

The title being unpleasant isn't a problem; the Shadow Clone Technique isn't just for show. We can just create a few aliases, do some big things that will shake the ninja world, and a new title will come along.

Okay, let's do it this way. Write it down in your notebook and mark it in red.

The cleanup mission lasted for seven consecutive days, and more than 30% of the puppet squads on the front lines of Sunagakure were wiped out by Uchiha Kiyoshi and his companion, resulting in heavy losses.

The Sand Village also received the news and sent out powerful individuals to intercept them, but Uchiha Kiyoshi and his group evaded them multiple times.

It was precisely because of the heavy losses that the Sand Ninja truly experienced the terror of the two, especially that Blood-Eyed Asura, who would loot the corpses after killing people!

unacceptable!

After seven busy days, Uchiha Kiyoshi and Hatake Sakumo were exhausted and planned to return to the front lines to rest for a while.

Konoha Front

The titles "Konoha's White Fang" and "Blood-Eyed Asura" were not only widely known in Sunagakure, but also in Konoha. Most Konoha ninjas held these two ruthless individuals in great awe, regarding them as idols, as they had killed three-tenths of Sunagakure's puppet squad.

Even with some people secretly stirring things up, it couldn't stop most Konoha ninjas from admiring the two.

Even some of the Konoha Jonin, and even some elite Jonin, greatly admired Uchiha Kiyoshi and his companion.

Because of their combined strengths in countering puppeteers, their effectiveness on the front lines is equivalent to that of a Kage-level powerhouse.

"Then I'll head back now, and we'll continue tomorrow."

"it is good."

After working together on missions for more than half a month, and with the intense hunting in the first seven days, their friendship has deepened day by day.

Chapter 116 I Want to Be a Chess Player Too

Thirty percent of the puppet squad was killed, and the Sand Village's biggest trump card, the puppeteer squad, suffered a severe setback, drastically reversing the situation on the front lines.

Even in the original work, Sakumo Hatake didn't actually kill that many puppeteers.

At most, it's only 15%.

It was mainly due to the influence of Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Uchiha Kiyoshi seemed to have truly been influenced by the Sharingan, sparing no effort in killing ninjas. Often, after finishing off one wave of ninjas and collecting their loot, he would quickly move on to the next wave.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's Nourishing Energy Technique has a strong recovery ability, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of chakra, which is why he was able to keep fighting.

Even Sakumo Hatake was shocked by Kiyoshi Uchiha's recovery ability more than once, and only managed to keep up with Kiyoshi's pace by gritting his teeth and fighting desperately.

The main reason I came back this time is that Sakumo Hatake really couldn't take it anymore and needed to recuperate.

The results achieved by the two this time were quite substantial.

Even Orochimaru didn't expect that his student and Sakumo Hatake could work together so well.

Thirty percent of the puppeteers... Now, the puppeteers in Sunagakure are probably all traumatized by them. This has a significant impact on the situation on the front lines.

Upon learning that Uchiha Kiyoshi and the others had returned to the front lines, Orochimaru summoned Uchiha Kiyoshi and offered him a few words of encouragement.

"I heard you've recently started practicing Wind Release, but I'm sure you've obtained quite a few Wind Release ninjutsu from your clan, so you're not lacking in that area. I won't give you any of those."

Now that you've started practicing Wind Release, and given that you already possess three attributes, it seems you're going to pursue the path of all attributes.

"In that case, I'll give you my own cultivation notes; they should be of some help."

As he spoke, Orochimaru produced a scroll.

Uchiha Kiyoshi quickly caught it, his heart filled with excitement.

Orochimaru's training notes, specifically those focused on escaping techniques, would be very useful to Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Even the Third Hokage's notebook, Uchiha Kiyoshi, might not be this excited.

It's not that the cultivation notes of the third generation are worthless or looked down upon.

Relatively speaking, Orochimaru, the future "scientist," will definitely be more organized in his cultivation and clearer and more scientific in his planning and organization.

Even in the exploration of the essence of ninjutsu, he far surpasses the Third Hokage!

The Third Hokage didn't really achieve much in developing ninjutsu. His strongest techniques were combinations of several existing ninjutsu. Although his skills were equally superb, it couldn't mask the fact that he hadn't developed any powerful ninjutsu.

This shows that the Third Hokage was far inferior to Orochimaru in his understanding of the essence of ninjutsu.

Orochimaru is a powerful figure who was able to perfect the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation!

His self-developed techniques for immortality and cursed seals demonstrate his talent in developing ninjutsu.

Such talent must be based on a sufficient understanding of ninjutsu.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Orochimaru's notebook is the best; the Second Hokage's notebook is more valuable than Orochimaru's.

After all, Orochimaru hasn't even started his research yet, and his knowledge and skills haven't been fully organized.

Holding Orochimaru's training notes, Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to his residence.

Put the notes away; now is not the time to look at them.

"Sigh! It's time to start preparing the plan."

It's such a pity that I just made a new friend, but now we're separated by death.

However, this time it was I who was in the "yin" position.

Hopefully, it won't have too much of an impact on him.

Or it would be good to make a splash.

Changing that naive nature might actually be a good thing.

Uchiha Kiyoshi could never forget that his new friend's fate had been extremely difficult.

suicide.

What a ridiculous way to die!

Because of that stinking rat in the dark, he died such a miserable death.

Uchiha Kiyoshi couldn't stand it.

If my "death" can have some impact on him, perhaps he will make a different choice in the future.

Of course, it wasn't real death, but rather a fake death.

I faked my death to escape!

The ninja world is too complex; before one possesses at least Kage-level strength, anything can happen.

The most likely source of these accidents is the power struggle among the village's leadership.

Therefore, it is very important to avoid this.

Not only do we need to avoid it, but we also need to divert everyone's attention.

Otherwise, neutral people are in more danger. Do you think people will believe you if you say you won't fight for the Hokage position?

Impossible. Sakumo Hatake is the best example.

Therefore, one must disappear from everyone's sight.

And "death" is the best solution.

Just like Madara Uchiha back then.

I'm going to retire behind the scenes and become a chess player myself.

Even if his death doesn't have as profound an impact on Hatake Sakumo as one might imagine, the latter will inevitably follow the same old path, and Uchiha Kiyoshi will intervene.
