I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

Leaving aside the rewards from the genin's corpse, the chunin's corpse, in addition to increasing one's resistance, also unexpectedly yielded a bottle of sage pills.

The Sage Pill seems to have a significant effect on improving physical constitution and talent.

However, it's unclear whether it will have any effect on bloodline limits.

However, at present, there is no suitable candidate for Uchiha Natsu to test.

Finally, during the retrieval of the Jonin's body.

The system once again gave Uchiha Natsu a few unexpected surprises.

Chapter 43 The Rumors of Uchiha Natsu

There were a total of seven Jonin corpses, four of which were recovered and had their advanced bloodline activation achieved.

The system gave Uchiha Natsu three Wood Release ninjutsu for the other three.

[Wood Release: Great Forest Technique], [Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique], and [Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique].

The acquisition of these three ninjutsu filled Uchiha Natsu with joy.

The system is like a pillow delivered when you're sleepy, or water delivered when you're thirsty.

Just when I was thinking that I lacked Wood Release ninjutsu, Wood Release ninjutsu was delivered to me.

Wood Release: Great Forest Technique. Yamato really likes to use this technique, and it is indeed a very practical one.

It can be very effective in both attacking and controlling.

The Wood Clone is more powerful and less likely to be detected than the Shadow Clone.

Even someone with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan wouldn't be able to detect a wood clone unless they are very familiar with the person.

The final Wood Dragon Technique is even more powerful, using a wood dragon to entangle the opponent and absorb their chakra.

However, these are techniques that only unleash their full power in the hands of the first generation.

Uchiha Natsu was unsure how much of his power he could unleash.

However, simply practicing in front of trees will not yield accurate results.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a sufficiently strong opponent to test it.

Uchiha Natsu thought for a moment, then opened the map and looked at the marked location of the Uchiha clan's last battlefield.

"Senior Xia, where are we going next?"

Beside him, Itachi Uchiha approached Natsu Uchiha and looked up to ask.

There was a barely perceptible urgency in his eyes.

At this time, all the other Uchiha ninjas were resting in the forest, replenishing their chakra.

Uchiha Natsu turned his head and glanced at his clansmen who were eating soldier rations or drinking water from their water jugs.

Then he stood up and said, "Get ready, we're leaving immediately to support the clan leader on the battlefield."

During this period, Uchiha Natsu did not contact anyone in order to keep it a secret.

Even the other members of the clan were cut off from contact with the village by Uchiha Natsu.

Only from the last few Uchiha clan members who came to provide support did they learn about the information from a few days earlier.

Fugaku and Shisui of the Uchiha clan had originally defeated Yugito, but Yugito was saved by the Raikage who arrived on the scene.

When the Raikage arrived on the battlefield, the situation immediately turned around, and Fugaku Uchiha's side was repeatedly repelled.

However, the intelligence report did not mention that Uchiha Shisui ever used Susanoo.

It seems the situation isn't too bad yet; Shisui still wants to keep it a secret from the other members of his tribe.

Shisui only told the Third Hokage and a few other high-ranking officials about his Mangekyou Sharingan, keeping it a secret from the Uchiha clan.

He understood that if the Uchiha clan learned about the Mangekyou Sharingan, their nascent rebellion would likely erupt.

As for the Susanoo used in the Land of Lightning, it was only because it was a matter of life and death, and there was no other way to use it.

Moreover, the Susanoo technique is known only to a minority of the Uchiha clan.

Neither Uzuki Yugao nor Yamanaka Inoichi could recognize Susanoo.

As for Uchiha Natsu, the fact that he was chosen by the Hokage to participate in such an important mission shows that the Third Hokage still had some trust in him.

What's more, Uchiha Natsu saved their lives.

Thinking it over, Shisui finally decided to use Susanoo.

Having deduced that the situation wasn't too bad and the danger level was low, Uchiha Natsu decided to lead the Uchiha clan to support their clan leader.

A powerful figure like the Fourth Raikage would be perfect for testing one's Wood Release.

Uchiha Itachi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Uchiha Natsu's decision.

On that last battlefield, there were two people who were very important to him.

One is his father, the other his best friend.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha always wanted Natsu Uchiha to go to that battlefield first.

However, after being rejected by Uchiha Natsu once, Uchiha Itachi never brought it up again.

Now that they could finally go and provide support, Itachi Uchiha was also quite excited.

The other Uchiha clan members all acted quickly and finished getting ready in no time.

The group set off and sped through the forest.

After traveling for a day and a night, we finally approached our destination.

Uchiha Natsu used a shadow clone to walk at the front, and soon they arrived at the edge of the forest.

To be precise, it was a clearing created by the fighting, not a true edge of the forest.

The open space was very large, at least several hundred meters wide.

The large trees were twisted and crooked, with wood chips flying everywhere, and many branches had even turned to ashes.

It would only have turned into its current state if it had been attacked by an extremely large number of Fire Release ninjutsu.

Along the edge of the clearing, Uchiha Natsu's shadow clones led the Uchiha clan members toward Konoha.

In general, invaders are located opposite Konoha and advance towards it.

Therefore, by following the direction of Konoha, we can find our own people.

"Shhhhhh!"

Just then.

Two kunai suddenly shot out and stuck in the ground in front of Uchiha Natsukage's clone.

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone glanced at the kunai at its feet, then looked up.

Two masked people were seen lurking in the trees not far ahead.

Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that these two are from Konoha's Anbu.

"Why are the members of the Dark Guard here?"

Uchiha Natsu frowned.

Anbu members are usually required to follow the Hokage, but this is the Uchiha's battlefield, and the Anbu should not be here.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Wildfruit Reading; install the latest version.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Natsu stepped forward and said, "We are from the Uchiha clan, here to support our clan leader."

After the two ANBU members clearly saw what Uchiha Natsu looked like, they exchanged a glance.

Then, they all leaped down from the tree and landed in front of Uchiha Natsu.

“So it was you, Xia.” One of the burly male ANBU members said.

Uchiha Natsu immediately recognized that this ANBU member was the captain who had carried out the mission to intercept rogue ninjas with Uchiha Natsu three years ago.

If I remember correctly, the code name was "Jackal".

At that time, in order to take care of the weak Uchiha Natsu, Jackal deliberately kept him away from battle.

Therefore, Uchiha Natsu still had some goodwill towards this ANBU captain.

"Oh, it's the captain. What are you doing here?" Uchiha Natsu greeted Jackal with a smile.

The jackal sighed, "It seems you haven't received the intelligence yet. The decisive battle is about to begin, and after this battle, the war may be over."

As he spoke, the jackal glanced at Uchiha Natsu, his heart filled with surprise.

During this period, Jackal repeatedly heard rumors about Uchiha Natsu.

Among them, the most impressive was his victory over the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, along with the other three, including Uchiha Yatsuhoku.

As far as he knew, the four Uchiha members of the Eighth Hokage's team fought together against the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, with one seriously injured and two slightly injured.

The only one who wasn't injured and ultimately turned the tide was Uchiha Natsu.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki can control the Tailed Beast and achieve a semi-Tailed Beast transformation state.

Although not as powerful as Yugito, who can fully transform into a tailed beast, her strength surpasses that of many elite Jonin.

Uchiha Natsu was able to fight a fierce battle with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki without sustaining any injuries.

Before that, when Uchiha Natsu went to Kumogakure to carry out a mission.

He actually used a hundred shadow clones to create a self-destructing Rasengan, a bizarre move that successfully held off the Fourth Raikage.

This matter, after several months of fermentation, has now become a sensation throughout Konoha.

Thinking of this, the jackal was deeply shocked.

He absolutely could not have done that.

In just over three years, Uchiha Natsu has grown to this extent.

Three years ago, Jackal jokingly suggested that Uchiha Natsu join the Anbu.

Now, Jackal genuinely hopes that Uchiha Natsu can join them.
