The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Uchiha Kiyoshi needed to consider another challenge in using shadow clones for training.

That is the capacity to withstand memory.

This requires the ninja's own perseverance, which may also be related to the resilience of their soul. The biggest example is Naruto, who was modified by the Nine-Tails' chakra at birth. Over the years, his soul's resilience has become nothing short of miraculous.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was born with a strong soul, making it much easier for him to resist the impact of memories. Given Uchiha Kiyoshi's condition, accepting the memories brought by six shadow clones at the same time was not a problem, and it would not affect his normal actions.

Of course, we're not talking about the cheat function of shadow clones right now.

What Uchiha Kiyoshi is now interested in is the method of returning his memories to his original body after the shadow clones are dispelled.

In this respect, shadow clones are quite peculiar.

This is also the biggest difference between shadow clones and other physical clones such as earth clones and water clones.

"How exactly were these memories transmitted back directly?"

In any case, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not believe that these memories were transmitted back through some kind of medium.

He is more inclined to believe that these memories originally belonged to him.

That's right, it was originally mine.

The shadow clone transmits its memories back without any cost after it is deactivated!

No extra chakra is needed to complete this process.

Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that these memories were originally in his mind, but they were "unsealed" after the shadow clones disappeared, causing the main body to suddenly "obtain" these memories.

In this way, we can then deduce the principle from the initial conjecture.

The memories of a shadow clone are inherently connected to the memories of the original body.

So how are memories connected?

Naturally, it involves the soul.

The vessel for memory is naturally the soul.

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't understand the soul very well, it didn't hinder his thinking.

The soul is too lofty a concept for Uchiha Kiyoshi to study right now. However, Uchiha Kiyoshi only needs to conceive of such a process. He doesn't need to observe how the process works, and it doesn't even matter if the process is not necessarily correct. As long as the model of the process can help him understand it, that's enough.

Just like science in the past, not all conjectures are correct, but these conjectures can be used to solve problems.

As long as you don't become complacent and don't completely believe in this process, but only learn from it and reflect and summarize from time to time, there won't be any problems.

The soul is the vessel for memories, and the memories of a shadow clone are also within the soul of the original body. Does this mean that the shadow clone and the original body use the same soul?

Perhaps this is why shadow clones can have their own consciousness?

This is equivalent to creating an additional connection point on the soul, allowing the soul to have consciousness within the shadow clone.

As for why the feeling is not common,

Uchiha Kiyoshi's explanation was that, similar to the issue of brain development raised in his previous life, ninjas in the ninja world did not fully utilize their souls; in fact, most ninjas did not utilize them at all, and Uchiha Kiyoshi was among them. In other words, a considerable portion of their souls remained unused, and the souls connected to the shadow clones were this part. While connected by shadow clones, this part of the soul was bound to the shadow clone, creating a special "boundary" between it and the rest of the soul, resulting in a kind of isolation in terms of memories. As soon as the shadow clones made contact, this "boundary" would disappear, and the memories would be shared throughout the entire soul.

"So, shadow clones are just a way to use the soul? Once you fully control your soul and cultivate something like a primordial spirit, the effects of shadow clones on cultivation will cease?"

Indeed, if you have complete control over your own soul, why bother with separate thoughts? When the entire soul is functioning, the amount of thought that can be performed in the same amount of time is no different.

"So, the fact that Naruto had thousands of shadow clones to help him train means that he normally only uses less than one-thousandth of his soul?"

Ha, no wonder he looks a bit silly.

"That's not right either. The way shadow clones utilize the soul is not the same as the original body."

The main body also needs to carry all past memories, and the amount of soul it utilizes is incomparable to that of a shadow clone.

The proportion of soul occupied by the shadow clone should not be strong.

The most important thing is the connection of souls and the development of consciousness. Everything else can be supplemented with chakra. It's even possible to temporarily store memories in chakra, as long as the soul can immediately reclaim the memories stored in chakra during the contact technique.

"I don't know how the second generation developed such a technique."

As Uchiha Kiyoshi analyzed the Shadow Clone Technique, his admiration for the Second Hokage grew even stronger.

so amazing!

The Second Hokage developed forbidden techniques related to the soul, such as the Impure World Reincarnation and the Spirit Transformation Technique, so he must have known the essential principles of the Shadow Clone Technique!

Perhaps the initial connection of the shadow clones to the soul and the imbuing of them with consciousness was achieved by accident, but the Second Hokage definitely understood this principle!

Indeed, there's a reason why they were able to develop so many forbidden techniques.

"Getting back to the main point, what I need now is the technique of information transmission."

So, the idea behind shadow clones is to use this method of connecting souls to create a way to directly input messages into the soul?

After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Kiyoshi still couldn't figure out how to input the message into his soul.

How do I input this data? It's not like I'm remembering things.

Huh? Memories!

Uchiha Kiyoshi slapped his head in frustration, then suddenly realized.

"I don't need to enter any information."

The one responsible for relaying the message is none other than my shadow clone. So, all I need to do is share this memory with the shadow clone beforehand.

So what I need to develop is a technique that allows me to share the memories of shadow clones in advance?

Isn't this the visual sharing of the six realms of the Rinnegan?

"Wow!"

No, no.

That's probably impossible.

Shadow clones are not difficult to use, and are no different from ordinary ninjutsu. This means that when using shadow clones, they automatically connect to a soul region that is not under one's control. Perhaps the reason why shadow clones can have independent consciousness is because this part of the soul is in a 'masterless (uncontrolled) state'?

That's what makes it an independent consciousness.

If it can be shared, wouldn't that be like having an earth clone that the main body still needs to exert effort to control?

The key is that the soul portion of the shadow clone is still unusable.

Therefore, the Six Paths Mode definitely contains other methods that I am unaware of.

ahem...

We've gone off-topic again.

Let's go back to the question we started with.

Share your memories in advance!

Uchiha Kiyoshi entered a state of deep thought once again.

Chapter 128 Speculation on Bloodline Limits

After a month, Uchiha Kiyoshi finally figured out a way to share memories ahead of time using Shadow Clones.

The principle is not complicated; it simply involves "disarming" the shadow clone in advance.

Of course, it's not a complete severance, but simply cutting off the connection with the soul, causing the soul to reclaim the memories prematurely.

At this moment, the shadow clone is in a state of "annihilation" and has no consciousness. However, it will not dissipate. Just like the earth clone and water clone, the shadow clone at this moment is just an earth clone without any attribute and without the control of the main body.

The memories were shared in advance, but the shadow clone lost consciousness.

That won't do.

It can only be used once, that's terrible! Shouldn't it be reusable?

So how do you reconnect the shadow clones?

Uchiha Kiyoshi prepared an extra shadow clone and then had that shadow clone carry out the task.

After a shadow clone "vanishes," the backup shadow clone's task is to help the "vanished" shadow clone "revive."

By activating the sealing technique left in this shadow clone, a small cycle of chakra is completed within the shadow clone, reconnecting it to the soul of the original body!

With the backup shadow clone as a guide, there's no need to worry about this shadow clone failing to connect with Uchiha Kiyoshi's soul!

And so, Uchiha Kiyoshi completed his first technique involving the soul!

Shadow Clone Technique: Annihilation and Resurrection!

"There's still a month to make it."

The war isn't over yet; send a clone over to continue the fight!

Hey! If my main body can't go, I'll send a clone!

I participated in the entire Second Shinobi World War!

"Find a Sunagakure body so that we can avoid the wartime alert in the villages after the war. That's how we complete the mission of sending a clone into Sunagakure."

Sure enough, I'm quite the clever little devil!

One day later.

"Maga" returned to the Sunagakure front lines without anyone noticing.

"Our mission this time is simple: cause trouble!"

"No, I'm not trying to cause trouble!"

Number 1, listen up: our mission is to make money. Take advantage of the high prices during the war, fight as many battles as possible, collect as much loot as possible, and then sell it for profit!

"Okay, okay, Number 2, I understand."

"Number 1, don't get our mission wrong, or I'd better take control of the body!"

Hmm, Shadow Clone #1 seems to have a bit of a personality.

He's getting a bit too aggressive...

That's right, Maka is a clone of Uchiha Kiyoshi. The Maka 1 and Maka 2 that were arguing in the sealed space are two shadow clones that Uchiha Kiyoshi sealed in this clone.

After returning to the front lines of Sunagakure and reporting his mission, Maka went straight to his residence.

His teammates were killed, leaving him all alone, and he was very sad.
