Death,
Is also a technical task.
Especially in a situation like this, within the expenditure line of the Land of Hot Water.
On the battlefield, two sides can fight without restraint due to opposing positions and ideologies.
But when operating alone, one must be extremely cautious about how to die.
If the enemy hasn't provoked Uchiha Ci, and he just charges in recklessly, forcing their experts to step in and kill him—
That's not insurance fraud; that's suicide, a lack of brains.
Even if you know the other side is utterly evil and will inevitably commit great wrongs leading to terrible consequences,
They are harming people of the Land of Hot Water. What does that have to do with ninja from the Land of Fire?
In such cases, one must still be patient.
A ninja's stance is never about good and evil; it depends more on which side your chair is on.
The Evil God Cult will kill madly in the future, true, but how virtuous will the Uchiha clan be in the future?
Uchiha Obito, foolish now, will still become the mastermind behind the scenes and the final boss opposing all humanity.
So, for Uchiha Ci to commit fraud—ahem, to fight evil!—
He first needs to clarify his own stance.
The stance of someone from the Land of Fire, a Konoha ninja, and a member of the Uchiha clan clearly has nothing to do with the suffering civilians of the Land of Hot Water.
But as Hidan's good big brother, the savior, to prevent his little brother from going astray, he is provoked and attacked by Evil God Cult members. Then, as an enraged older brother, he charges into the Evil God Cult's headquarters to slaughter everyone, only to die tragically due to misjudging the enemy's strength.
That is so righteous it moves people to tears.
And that's not all—
He even has the grand mission of aiding history and changing the world as a "macho man descended from heaven."
This wave,
This wave is like Zhuge Liang climbing a high tower—
Everything is ready except for the opportunity!
That's right, Uchiha Ci has never been a good person.
All of this is within his plan.
The full moon hung high, casting its clear light.
It dyed the wilderness and fragrant grass in a light, secluded hue.
After bidding farewell to the three, Uchiha Ci walked against the wind.
His upper body was bandaged, his lower body clad in the overalls he wore when he left the village, his ninja tool bag empty.
After passing through the Kumogakure trio and the Evil God Cultists, all his ninja tools had been used up.
Not a single wire remained.
The one-time ninja cat contract, which could have been replenished at a critical moment, was also given to Seiichiro.
It could be said his equipment column was now utterly bare.
In such a state, with the strength of a genin, charging into the Evil God Cult's headquarters was undoubtedly a guaranteed death sentence.
Now that death was certain, Uchiha Ci thought perhaps he could do something more.
After all, he promised Hidan he would eradicate the evil cult;
Then, of course, he must try his best to do it!
Uchiha Ci thought for a moment, then took out the scroll Elder Uchiha Setsuna had left for him from his leggings.
"Uchiha Style · Secret S-Rank Forbidden Swordsmanship"!
Unrolling the scroll, Uchiha Ci looked at one of the techniques, lost in thought.
The reason this scroll was classified as an S-rank forbidden technique
Was not because the swordsmanship was flashy and powerful or difficult to master,
But because one of the ninjutsu within had an A-rank training difficulty:
Fire Release Chakra Mode.
The most well-known similar ninjutsu were the Eight Inner Gates and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, known as "Lightning Armor."
The former was a unique skill perfected by Konoha's Might Dai and his son.
In the not-too-distant future, Might Dai would open the Eight Gates and single-handedly turn Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen into three on the frontline.
The latter was a secret technique of the Raikage lineage in Kumogakure.
Kakashi's Lightning Cutter and the Four-Tails' Lava Chakra Mode could also be categorized here, both enhancing physical abilities.
Anything related to nintaijutsu is no simple technique.
So,
If Lightning Release could be developed, why not Fire Release?
This again involved the issue of physical endurance.
In short,
Nintaijutsu enhances the body by increasing the metabolic rate of the ninja's cells.
Lightning Release's stimulation of the body is like injecting a dose of adrenaline. While it enhances, there are side effects, but within an acceptable range.
Due to its high-temperature nature, Fire Release would directly burn cells to death during the stimulation process. The question wasn't whether it could be opened—if you didn't burn yourself to death, it was considered lucky.
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, could develop the Lava Chakra Mode because he was a jinchuriki, and his mode was more like forming a tailed beast cloak outside the body.
As fire enthusiasts, the Uchiha clan had copied countless ninjutsu. In terms of basic ninjutsu, they were more prolific than the Second Hokage.
They had naturally researched this powerful ninjutsu,
Using the Sharingan's precise observation to control fire chakra at a microscopic level, burning cells to extract power.
Thus, this A-rank ninjutsu was born,
And became the core of this S-rank forbidden technique.
However, due to the inherent high risk of the fire attribute, the controllable time was extremely short.
The user would bear the pain and cost of burning their body in flames in exchange for a single, difficult-to-control, short-lived burst of power.
Once used, you'd burn yourself to death—
In the physical sense, truly reduced to ashes.
Over time, this technique became shelved, collecting dust.
It was usable, but the power wasn't worth the cost. A casual slash from a Susano'o could achieve the same effect.
If you couldn't use Susano'o but wanted to learn it, you first had to consider whether you had the capability.
Playing with fire was dangerous. Without guidance from seniors who had practiced it, you were highly likely to burn yourself to death during training.
Secondly, was it worth paying such a price for one fatal blow?
Such horrific side effects would be hard even for an Uchiha with Izanagi to bear.
Elder Uchiha Setsuna of the Uchiha clan used this forbidden technique, drew a 40-meter-long flaming sword, and simply slashed a few times.
To this day, the old man was still in a state of uncertainty.
However,
Uchiha Ci looked at the scroll in his hand,
Swallowing hard.
After fully reading the technique's description,
He couldn't control his inner excitement; his breathing suddenly became rapid. The expression on his face was like a member of the Fat Cat Cult seeing the supreme deity, the white bear Fat Cat—
His eyes were glowing!
This, this, this!
Damn, isn't this exactly what Uchiha Ci needs most?!
Uchiha Setsuna had Izanagi to use; he could recycle and burn again after burning.
Uchiha Ci had no Izanagi, nor the three-tomoe Sharingan required to use it!
After one slash, death was guaranteed!
This wave, this wave is burning with flames!
It's a one-stop funeral process—skip all steps, go straight to the crematorium, and even take the crematorium with you!
The cremation speed rivals the speed of light. Damn, Uchiha Ci doesn't even know how he could lose!
Please, tell him how on earth he can lose!?
