[Ding!]
[You bravely charged at Evil God Sect Sub-Head Jushu and obtained a random skill from him: Earth Release: Earth Flow Slope (Beginner, C).]
[You bravely counterattacked a Genin who wanted to harm you and obtained a random skill from him: Earth Release: Rock Stealing Staff (Beginner, C).]
[You bravely counterattacked a group of enemies who wanted to harm you, and they are now unable to resist.]
[Your counterattack was powerful, and a critical hit has been awarded.]
[Due to the special equipment: Earth Grudge Heart (Earth), the obtained ninja techniques have been converted into heart upgrade progress.]
[Current progress: Wind (6%), Fire (52%), Lightning (0%), Water (88%).]
[The sword techniques obtained from the group have been integrated into: Ninja World Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient, D) (Detailed description can be expanded)]
[ ... ]
Another series of subtitles flashed before his eyes.
Uchiha Shi casually swung the Ninja Sword in his hand a few times and found that his previously clumsy hand had suddenly become much more agile.
Ninja World Basic Swordsmanship is the foundation of all sword techniques in the ninja world.
It includes basic techniques such as Iai, Tang Bamboo (Overhead Slash), Circular Slash, Kesa Slash (Right Diagonal), Reverse Kesa Slash (Left Diagonal), Left Horizontal Slash, Right Horizontal Slash, Left Upward Slash, Right Upward Slash, Reverse Wind (Upward from Below), and Thrust.
Mastering this will provide a certain level of proficiency when performing more advanced sword techniques like Cloud Flow, Leaf Village Style, and Uchiha Style.
This way, he won't have to struggle with wielding a sword like he did when he first used the Heart Explosion to cut through Kakuzu, where his lack of sword skills led to his first strike going awry.
Uchiha Shi glanced at the detailed description and had a sudden realization. So, that's how it works?
He could finally retire his own brute-force sword technique.
In simple terms, the heart upgrade progress is the degree of chakra nature mastery.
The Fire and Water attributes have higher progress due to his existing proficiency and the fact that the ninjas in the Land of Hot Water mainly use Water Release techniques.
The Wind attribute has some progress because of the Wind Release: Vacuum Wave he used earlier.
From this, it seems that Uchiha Shi won't have too much trouble regaining his original body attributes.
Especially the Fire attribute.
To be honest, he misses the Fire Release Chakra Mode, which is a powerful self-destructive technique.
Additionally, if his consciousness is clear and his body condition allows it, he can regenerate his original heart using the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration. At that point, he can consider replacing the current Earth attribute heart.
However, for now, he has only one more opportunity to use the Prohibited Technique: Flesh Regeneration in battle.
He has already decided to save this opportunity for the leader of the Evil God Sect.

Reinforcements from the Evil God Sect arrived immediately.
Uchiha Shi briefly glanced at the rising subtitles, after roughly understanding what new skills he had obtained, he stopped looking.
He immediately picked up ninja tools from the broken city wall and took the tool pouches from the bodies of the ninjas lying on the ground or feigning death.
However, before he could finish, a series of black shadows approached.
Uchiha Shi straightened his back, his eyes narrowing.
Twelve members of the Evil God Sect, dressed in their standard high-collared, tight-waisted black robes with leather scripture boxes on their forearms, appeared before him.
After taking a look at the chaotic scene, they stood on the city wall, their eyes cold. They simultaneously drew their Black Spears, pointing them at Uchiha Shi.
The leader of the Evil God Sect's elite, emotionless like a robot, asked coldly:
"Did you do this?"
"Tch."
Uchiha Shi let out a sound of annoyance, as if his F key had been interrupted during a cutscene.
Then, he put on a deep, serious expression, similar to Itachi's:
"What, do you want to kill me?"
"To be honest, you are truly ignorant."
Uchiha Shi suddenly opened his eyes, the two black tomoe in his crimson eyes spun, and he said with a cold, disdainful look:
"With these eyes, I have seen through all your actions!"
Under this overpowered, showboating technique, which was far beyond the current ninja world's level, the Evil God Sect's elite members couldn't help but twitch their foreheads.
The leader of the Evil God Sect's elite raised his hand and pointed at Uchiha Shi, shouting coldly:
"Kill him!"
As soon as he spoke, the killing intent was palpable!
The twelve members of the Evil God Sect split into three teams. The first team of four charged forward, raising their Black Spears to strike at Uchiha Shi.
The second team of six remained in place, forming hand seals to prepare jutsu.
The third team of two drew the 'Circle within a Triangle' ritual formation of the Evil God Sect on the ground, their faces growing dark as they waited.
At this moment, Uchiha Shi had only managed to pick up half of the twelve tool pouches, strapping two of them to his waist.
He had a total of 34 Shuriken, 8 crudely made Kunai (which wouldn't be very effective for blocking), a Ninja Sword, a Katana, and a sleeve containing 40 Senbon.
Seeing the twelve elite members of the Evil God Sect charge forward, Uchiha Shi took a deep breath, without hesitation, he jumped off the city wall.
He had faced similar enemies in the village before.
Just three of them almost killed him.
Logically, he should fight to the death here.
But the situation was different now.
With the powerful defense of Earth Release: Earth Spear and a thorough understanding of the situation, as long as this group didn't have strong Lightning Release jutsu or other techniques that could counter the Earth Spear, they couldn't kill him!
Engaging in a prolonged battle would waste too much chakra. Even if he managed to reach the final boss, he might be judged as slacking off, deliberately seeking death.
Therefore, after completing his mission of collecting tools, he needed to continue with his plan.
With this thought, Uchiha Shi immediately jumped!
His feet landed on the wall, and he slid down to stop his fall, then immediately ran vertically along the city wall.
The wind whistled in his ears, along with several sharp explosions.
He flipped and threw two Shuriken attached to Earth Grievance Wire onto the mountain wall beside him.
He pulled the wire with his fingers, dodging the four Black Spears that shot at him in a dangerous move, and slid through the air, landing on the ground and continuing to run.
This quick movement based on the terrain was the reason Uchiha Shi dared to take such risks on the city wall.
How could running be faster than flying?
He smiled, seeing that he was about to reach the rendezvous point with Terumi Mei.
However, as he turned the corner of the mountain wall, Uchiha Shi's smile froze.
He skidded to a stop.
His Sharingan eyes were wide with shock.
Because the twelve elite members of the Evil God Sect, who were just on the city wall, had suddenly appeared in front of him!
And there were more of them!
Sixteen elite members of the Evil God Sect stood in a line.
They hurled sixteen Black Spears at him with deadly force!
