The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Thinking of the memories transmitted by the shadow clone after the self-destruction, Uchiha Kiyoto couldn't help but shudder.

While self-destruction using one's own chakra is incredibly powerful, it also has a drawback: one can only begin preparing to retreat the moment the shadow clones detonate.

The explosion damage will still occur.

After that experience, Uchiha Kiyoshi never dared to do it again.

The conditions this time were actually very good. There was a supply station nearby with a large number of explosive tags, and the number of explosive tags in the puppet of "Tetsuya" clone was enough to make it possible to self-destruct without taking damage.

Anyway, the explosive tags inside these puppets are all built-in, not their own.

"But I still feel so sorry for her."

More than a hundred explosive tags, worth at least 500,000 taels.

There are still ten puppets left; they should fetch at least seven or eight million taels of silver!

"Even though it belongs to Tetsuya, it's still a trophy."

How can it not be yours anymore?

No, no.

This sacrifice is worthwhile in order to get away with it.

Besides, weren't there five puppets left behind? Five defensive puppets, no less, they're even more valuable.

As defensive puppets, they are always by one's side. When it is necessary to self-destruct, these puppets will definitely be the closest to one, so they will store the most explosive tags.

Five puppets are no less than the other ten.

After waiting for the aftershocks of the explosion above to subside, Uchiha Kiyoshi moved upwards by about fifty meters and then began to spread his chakra in small amounts.

There was already chakra left behind by Uchiha Kiyokage's clones on the battlefield, so Uchiha Kiyokage wasn't worried that this would arouse any suspicion.

A small amount of chakra spread out, and Uchiha Kiyoshi used his mental perception.

The situation on the battlefield above is clearly visible.

"No surprises, everything was as expected."

After carefully checking and confirming that there were no clues, Uchiha Kiyoshi meticulously cleaned up the chakra he had left underground during his spread out of the ground.

The chakra from outside the barrier to the ground was completely cleared.

After cleaning up, Uchiha Kiyoshi used Earth Movement Technique to leave the place.

Although they are all spoils of war, they are not something I can take right now.

There's also a group of Konoha ninja and Sand ninja on the outer perimeter.

They are at least a thousand meters away from here, so the impact they received was certainly not very strong.

Such a big thing has happened here, they will definitely stop fighting and come to check it out.

Since he was already a "dead man," Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't want to care about what happened next.

Using the Earth Element Technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi continued southward without stopping.

It wasn't until they arrived in the Land of Rivers that Uchiha Kiyoshi emerged from underground.

At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and his whole body felt relaxed.

At this moment, he was truly free.

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!

In the ninja world, freedom was achieved.

He went from being a village ninja to a wandering ninja, a rogue cultivator, and no longer had to be wanted by a bounty hunter.

"What 'wandering ninja'? That sounds awful."

Perhaps they should be called Free Ninjas.

“That’s right, they should be called free ninjas! They can make their own decisions and are not subject to the village’s jurisdiction or the constraints of others.”

At that moment, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt that he had transcended.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of ease, Uchiha Kiyoshi's soul seemed to be elevated.

"Perhaps this is also a kind of transformation."

Feeling a sense of ease from the heart, feeling a sublimation of the soul.

Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that he had undergone a transformation.

The transformation that allowed him to break through to the level of a Shadow Realm expert.

Perhaps, breaking through to the Kage level will be a natural progression.

It turns out that ninjas don't necessarily have to face life and death to transform and reach the Kage level.

Since arriving in the ninja world, Uchiha Kiyoto has lived in constant anxiety.

The pressure from the village always weighed on his mind.

The ninja village is not a single ninja, but a group, a military force, which no individual can resist.

In such an organization, one can only obey orders.

It would be better if the higher-ups were more open-minded, but Uchiha Kiyoshi knew all too well what Danzo and the Third Hokage were like.

Putting aside the plot he knew from his previous life, their actions over the past few years have already made Uchiha Kiyoshi realize that these two people are too fake and extremely selfish.

In his view, there is no freedom in such a village.

Therefore, at the moment of successfully escaping, freed from the constraints of the village and no longer subject to its jurisdiction, Uchiha Kiyoshi experienced an unprecedented relaxation, during which his soul was elevated and transformed.

Currently, Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength has not yet reached the peak of elite Jonin, and he has not accumulated enough experience, so he does not have the feeling of rapid growth in strength when breaking through.

"I never expected that I would break through to the Kage level so quickly."

Uchiha Kiyoshi smiled, deeply moved.

It's not that difficult.

This is Uchiha Kiyoshi's assessment. He wonders how envious and jealous those ninjas who are stuck at the last step and can never become Kage-level ninjas would feel if they knew.

Chapter 123 Konoha White Fang

The tracking methods in the ninja world are extremely sophisticated, among which the most powerful is tracking chakra aura.

If Uchiha Kiyoshi is found to have chakra elsewhere after his death, that would be bad.

Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi himself will be unable to make a move in the short term.

At the very least, there should be no trace of chakra left behind.

Or let the clone take action.

The difference between the secondary chakra and the main body's chakra is still quite large.

Looking at the barrier around him, he realized that traveling with this barrier in place was not a solution.

Let's switch to something lighter and more discreet.

However, sensing the dense chakra energy within the barrier, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew he couldn't dispel it directly.

The barrier itself isolates chakra energy and prevents its spread, but the interior of the barrier contains chakra that Uchiha Kiyoshi has been releasing all along.

Such a strong odor probably won't dissipate anytime soon.

It's difficult to clean it properly even if you try to do it yourself.

However, this was no problem for Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Hands form a mudra.

"Earth Element Technique"

Uchiha Kiyoshi entered the underground and went down more than a hundred meters before stopping when he felt he had gone far enough.

Remove the barrier.

The chakra that was originally inside the barrier began to spread.

Because this is underground, the chakra doesn't spread very noticeably.

It wouldn't be detected by the ninjas on the ground.

Back on the surface, Uchiha Kiyoshi refrained from using any ninjutsu, ensuring there would be no trace of chakra left.

With his excellent physical abilities, Uchiha Kiyoshi began his journey.

The Land of Rivers has many rivers, and Uchiha Kiyoshi easily found a small river.

He jumped into the river and swam southwards.

The chakra aura is one thing, and its own scent is another.

It's always good to be cautious.

Anyway, I won't lose out.

......

On the other hand, Hatake Sakumo's side didn't have the same trouble as Uchiha Kiyoshi.

A large number of Konoha ninjas broke through the Sunagakure blockade with great speed and effort. With Sakumo Hatake covering their retreat, the Konoha ninjas quickly escaped the scene.

Unfortunately, Sakumo Hatake became entangled as a result and was unable to break free.

The Sand Village side was not disappointed by this result.

The greatest threat comes from Konoha's White Fang; if we can capture even one of him, this operation will be worthwhile.

Half an hour has passed, and no reinforcements have arrived yet.

Sakumo Hatake also gave up his hopes for reinforcements.

In half an hour, he had killed half of the enemy.

Having been relentlessly exploited by Uchiha Kiyoshi recently, Hatake Sakumo has become somewhat accustomed to the long and frequent battles.

He was trying his best to control the rate at which his chakra was consumed, the rate at which it was replenished, and the rate at which his physical strength was consumed and replenished.
