Chapter 42 Inheritance of Ninja Way(1/2)
The more you know, the more you don't know.
What is chakra? The standard answer is that it is the combination of physical energy and mental ability. It is the foundation for ninjas to settle down and live, and the source for ninjas to perform ninjutsu.
But what can chakra do?
Then there are too many answers.
Ninjas can use chakra to cast ninjutsu, samurai can use chakra to slash sword energy, Jiraiya uses chakra to peek, Orochimaru uses chakra to research biotechnology...
So, chakra is like a brick, it needs to be moved wherever it goes.
Uchiha Tokimitsu's research on the combination of Yin Release and Fire Release was a discovery that seemed to open the door to a new world for the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan is too powerful. Especially in this era when the Senju clan, their thousand-year old enemy, has disappeared, almost no one can control them.
Based on the path of Sharingan evolution and Fire Release study, if an ordinary Uchiha tribesman awakens the Sharingan, as long as his talent is acceptable, he can basically learn from the ninjutsu collections of each family according to his hobbies and temperament. Ninjutsu, if you have a few more talents, a certain amount of research ability, and a few unique secret techniques, you can basically find a path that suits you and become a strong Ninjutsu.
Although most Uchiha ninjas spend their entire lives working hard as a chuunin, even if they are chuunin, chunin from the Uchiha clan are also strong in the chunin group.
In this world where extraordinary power appears, the chakra possessed by ninjas is a miracle. If it is only used in ninjutsu battles, it will be a waste of resources.
…
After dinner, Uchiha Tokumitsu and his family went to Elder Setsuna's mansion together.
At night, the originally quiet and deserted streets of the Uchiha clan were full of heavily armed Uchiha ninjas patrolling at street intersections. When they saw Uchiha Nakagen and his entourage, everyone saluted.
Uchiha Nakagen also responded calmly.
"Father...what happened?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little confused about this.
Uchiha Nakagen just touched his hair and said nothing.
"The village suffered an attack. The police department and ANBU have recently been searching for the perpetrator." Emiko responded to Uchiha Tokumitsu's doubts, but did not elaborate on the details of the incident.
Seeing this, Tokumitsu Uchiha didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he had to suppress his inner curiosity.
The residence of Elder Setsuna in Deguang's home is not far away. After a short walk, he arrived at his destination.
At the entrance of the elder's mansion, which was usually peaceful in the past, there were now a large number of Uchiha ninjas surrounding the gate on guard. They seemed to be the elders' guards from each family.
"The elders from all the families are here..." Uchiha Nakagen's sigh confirmed Uchiha Tokumitsu's judgment.
"Is Xiao Deguang here?"
Just as he arrived at the door, Elder Setsuna's voice came out of the mansion.
The energetic Elder Setsuna walked out of the inner hall and looked at Uchiha Tokko with a smile.
"Great Elder!" Uchiha Tokumitsu saluted Elder Setsuna with a serious face.
"Come in quickly!" Elder Setsuna greeted the three of them with a loving face. "Emiko, please come in quickly. It's been a long time since you came to my old home."
Entering the inner hall, the inner hall was already filled with a number of elders from major Uchiha radical families. Although they were all in their twilight years, they were all famous and strong men when they were young. Seeing Uchiha The Tokumitsu family followed Elder Setsuna inside, and everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time.
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was stared at by many people, was slightly shocked in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just greeted the elders of each family one by one according to the introduction of Elder Setsuna.
The inner hall was arranged according to tradition, with upper seats and lower seats. The leader was naturally Elder Setsuna, and the others were seated on the left and right. Uchiha Tokko looked around the four seats and found an acquaintance who was guarding his subordinates as the jounin guard captain.
The scene of Uchiha returning from the Land of Grass.
Uchiha Jingye also nodded to Uchiha Tokimitsu, who responded politely, but was a little curious about an Uchiha girl sitting upright behind Uchiha's purge.
This is the first time I see a young female tribesman in a radical clan meeting.
"Jun Zhongxuan, please come forward and take a seat." Elder Setsuna led the three members of Deguang's family to come forward and take a seat, and then returned to the main seat.
The elders who were originally whispering to each other or secretly sizing up Uchiha Tokumitsu, all shut up when they saw the elder sitting down in the main seat, and the inner hall became silent.
"Gentlemen, what happened tonight has been reported before." Elder Setsuna said in a deep voice with a solemn face, "It is the method of 'Fire Escape' explored by our clansmen, Uchiha Tokko."
Everyone's attention was once again focused on Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"Although it is an original method, after trials by selected personnel within the family, three people have successfully completed the chakra fusion of Yin Escape and Fire Escape..."
"They are Emiko Uchiha, Kage Uchiha, Makoto Uchiha..."
Following Elder Momo's roll call, the three of them stretched out their hands and condensed a purple flame in their palms.
Uchiha Tokumitsu noticed that the girl sitting behind Uchiha Kage also condensed a fire escape chakra.
"Uchiha Makoto..." Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows.
"We, the Uchiha clan, have never had this kind of ninja technique in our thousands of years of inheritance. The results of Tokumitsu-kun's exploration will add another bloodline inheritance to the clan. It is of great significance, no less than the discovery of the Sharingan by our ancestors."
The origin of the secret method..."
This is a very generous compliment.
Uchiha Tokko also felt the heavy weight in his words.
"...Based on Tokumitsu-kun's talents, I intend to formally establish Tokumitsu Uchiha as my successor, assign him the position of steward, and control the Ninjas of the Tiger Sect. After a hundred years, I will inherit the position of chief of this clan.
…”
"Tokumitsu-kun, are you willing to accept it?" Elder Setsuna, with a serious face, looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with a surprised face.
"That's what I sincerely wish for!" Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath and bowed down.
Everyone present, young and old, bowed down to salute Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Congratulations, young gentleman!"
The so-called leader of the shrine is the title of the leader of the secret guards among the Uchiha radical faction. Not only can he control the secret guard ninjas, he is also the nominal chief jounin of the radical ninjas. He has the equivalent of Konoha's superiors within the radical faction.
The power of the forbearance squad leader.
In the chorus of congratulations from everyone, Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and sat upright.
"The significance of Flame Release cannot be overemphasized." After everyone stood up, Elder Setsuna spoke again, "Our clan has been stuck in tradition for a long time..."
Elder Setsuna sighed with a little melancholy.
"Inheritance is indeed glorious, but without innovation, it is inevitable to be left behind by the endless talents of future generations..."
"Although we claim to be the most powerful family in the ninja world, in the many years since we joined Konoha, no one as strong as the Five Kages has been born in our family. Even the monkeys of the Sarutobi family have not been able to compete with them in our family.
A strong opponent."
Elder Setsuna's words were quite heavy, and all the elders bowed their heads and remained silent.
"I didn't know the reason in the past. I just felt that a peaceful environment is not suitable for our people. Without the baptism of war, no truly strong people can be born..."
"But! I found that what really bothers us is our tradition! I have lost count of how many years it has been since we explored new nindo outside of our family inheritance!"
Uchiha Tokko's heart was also touched by it.
Although Uchiha is strong, but he sticks to tradition and is obsessed with the inheritance of old papers and the glory of Sharingan, then the highest limit of strength is probably Uchiha Madara's level.
"Tokumitsu-kun's Flame Release is equivalent to opening up a new way of Ninja for our tribe." Elder Setsuna said with emotion. "It also pointed out a new path for our tribe who are unable to advance in strength."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Nagakei-kun, it has been ten years since I awakened the Three Magatama and was promoted to Jonin, right?" Elder Setsuna said, pointing to the Uchiha scenery on one side.
"Yes, elder, it has been nearly eleven years now." Uchiha leaned over to greet him.
"How much do you think your strength has grown in these eleven years?"
"...It's almost the same." Uchiha sighed slightly, "It's just that the amount of chakra has increased, the ninjutsu illusion has become more skillful, and the combat experience has become richer. However, in the past eleven years, there has been no new transformation breakthrough, until
Appreciate Tokuguang-kun's 'Fire Escape' path."
"Yes... there used to be a tribe of people with amazing talents who were trapped here. They wasted their time and could not make any progress. In the end, they were backlashed by the obsession with power and embarked on an evil path that they could not extricate themselves from..."
The elders present sighed one after another.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tokko was moved in his heart.
"The battle of Naraku Huangquan has consumed too much of the family's vitality, and the family's strength has essentially dropped to its weakest period since the Warring States Period." Elder Setsuna's words were very heavy.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Uchiha clan is still the most powerful and powerful clan in the ninja world, in the eyes of Elder Setsuna, it looks like flowers and brocade, but in fact it is a raging fire.
"I plan to ban the way of Izanagi from now on. What do you think, elders?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little confused. As far as he knew, Izanagi and Izanami were the two forbidden arts of the Uchiha clan, but why was he so solemnly required to ban them?
Uchiha Tokko's inquiring gaze turned to Uchiha Nakagen.
"...It's the Mangekyō Sharingan." Uchiha Nakagen naturally understood what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a little melancholy.
Emiko lowered her head and held her husband's arm without saying anything.
Uchiha Demitsu thought carefully and understood.
The so-called Izanagi's Way may refer to the Uchiha clan's legendary method of awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan by killing relatives to prove the Way.
"... From now on, if any of our tribesmen dare to violate the prohibition and pursue the way of Izanagi, we will do our best to kill them. What do you think?"
"agree!"
"Agree!"
A group of elders simply agreed.
