Chapter 157 - CHAPTER 157

Hui's thinking also has some problems, not class problems.

In the final analysis, there is no class difference between his own body and Namikaze Minato. They are all three generations of disciples and descendants of Hokage.

The key to the problem is the attitude of the top.

As the so-called "one word to end life and death."

Although it won't cut off life and death, it is still possible to cut off the future and cut off the destiny.

Namikaze Minato is indeed the man known as the Yellow Flash, and his title is not only obtained by relying on the technique of Flying Thunder God.

In the final analysis, the technique of Flying Thunder God is still space-time ninjutsu—it is teleportation. It will not leave a yellow figure, at most a yellow light spot.

The Yellow Flash, in addition to the flash and unpredictability of Flying Thunder God, also refers to his extraordinary speed.

His movements were almost to the point where only a yellow afterimage could be seen.

Although the current Namikaze Minato was not as formidable as he would be in his prime, the signs were already there.

"So fast!"

Not only Hui, but Jiraiya and the other Anbu ninjas watching in the shadows also sighed in admiration.

At this speed alone, it is not a problem for Namikaze Minato to become an elite jōnin.

In addition, his talent in close-quarters combat is also exceptional. A kunai, combined with ghostly fast movement, makes him a battlefield harvester in the making.

After seeing this famous scene and gaining a deeper understanding of the village, Hui silently returned to Konoha.

Before Konoha even had time to restore the breach that the Kumo-nin had broken through, Hui had already returned and retreated to his secluded cave.

"Ugh!"

After pondering for a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Although the main body had left the village, after witnessing the treatment of Namikaze Minato—who was also a third-generation disciple—Hui still felt a deep sense of injustice and unwillingness on behalf of his original self.

Of course, it wasn't that he had any grievances against Namikaze Minato. His frustrations were entirely directed at the Third Hokage.

There was a high probability that Namikaze Minato himself was unaware of the favoritism.

At this stage, that guy Minato probably didn't even have the kind of scheming mind necessary to maneuver politically. Even after becoming Hokage, he wasn't adept at political maneuvering, and most of the real power was held by Danzo and others. Let alone now.

Back in Konoha, Hui, restless and unable to sit still, got up and walked towards the Uchiha clan district.

"Grandma, I'll help you cross the road. Be careful."

Uh...

A four-year-old boy helping a seventy-year-old grandmother across the street.

No matter how you looked at it, it was an odd sight.

Although children in the ninja world developed faster and were already 1.2 meters tall at the age of four, this was still a bit outrageous.

What exactly had his grandmother been teaching him?

Had she instilled the excellent virtue of helping the elderly cross the road at such a young age?

"It's Obito, that's right."

With a cheerful smile, full of vigor and vitality, it was hard to imagine that this same child would one day grow into the unscrupulous masked man feared by all.

"Less contact."

That was Hui's attitude toward Obito.

Madara Uchiha had thoroughly researched the Sharingan and understood the precise conditions for awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. He would have made a careful choice when selecting his successor.

So, Madara's interest in Obito had likely started a long time ago, and Hui couldn't be sure if there were already spies from Uchiha Madara around Obito.

No contact—or at least as little as possible.

And definitely no active interaction.

In the southeastern waters of the Ninja World, on the island where Uchiha Kiyo's base was located…

Uchiha Kiyo began testing the results of his training over the past period.

Training was a step-by-step process, and Uchiha Kiyo had always been highly aware of his own level.

However, recently, his body had adapted to the fusion and entered the so-called late stage of body forging, causing a significant leap in growth.

After developing the Fusion Release, the main body didn't immediately try to adapt but shared the experience with the earth and stone clones, allowing them to maximize their time adjusting and developing new jutsu. Meanwhile, the main body focused on refining his physique.

His primary concern was fully grasping this adaptation period to push his forging realm into its later stages.

To ensure success, Uchiha Kiyo employed every possible method—repeatedly reinforcing the nature transformation of his body, using chakra with altered properties to "cleanse" his physique, and finally applying all of these techniques during the fusion period itself.

The results spoke for themselves.

Uchiha Kiyo could feel that his body had changed.

The most obvious shift was the second technique used in the final process—using chakra infused with nature changes to purify himself during the adaptation period. The properties related to Fusion Release had the most significant effects during this time.

By the end of the adaptation period, Uchiha Kiyo could clearly sense an increased "affinity" for Fire Release and Earth Release, though he hadn't yet tested it. Now was the time.

Reaching the later stages of body forging also meant his nature transformation had entered the advanced stage.

His previous assumptions suggested that these two breakthroughs would result in qualitative changes. Although they wouldn't bring an immediate and drastic power boost, with practice and adaptation, there would be a period of rapid strength growth.

"Let's verify if everything is as expected."

The benefits of the forging realm were difficult to quantify, so Uchiha Kiyo could only test the nature transformation changes.

Advanced nature transformation—what exactly did it entail?

How much would his ninjutsu improve?

"Wind Release: Cutting Wind Technique."

Sharp wind blades tore through the backyard training ground, carving deep cracks into the ground.

"Not a huge increase."

Uchiha Kiyo compared the power of the Wind Cutting Technique before and after the breakthrough and found that the change was not drastic. He frowned.

"Let's try Fire Release and Earth Release."

Recalling the significant shift he had felt in his Fire and Earth chakra during the adaptation stage, Uchiha Kiyo decided to test them next.

First, the high-temperature properties of Fire Release.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, and the intense heat was immediately noticeable—even to Uchiha Kiyo himself.

The ground was scorched, the soil turning black under the heat.

"Hmm?"

With a sudden thought, Uchiha Kiyo launched another fireball, this time without consciously applying nature transformation.

Yet, the temperature was still significantly higher than that of an ordinary Great Fireball.

Using fire-based techniques, especially to increase flame temperature, had become far easier.

"Fire Spirit Body?"

The idea briefly crossed Uchiha Kiyo's mind.

"…No, no. If I'm right, Earth Release should show similar changes as well."

It wouldn't be a Fire Spirit Body—at most, it was a Fire-Earth Spirit Body.

A joke, of course. Uchiha Kiyo understood that he wasn't an actual Fire Spirit Body, but the concept of a spiritual root seemed increasingly valid.

"Fire and Earth Root…

Perhaps now I can absorb fire-natured natural energy…

Too bad the Ninja World doesn't have a way to distinguish such energies."

A new thought entered his mind.

"If my spiritual root is inheritable, and I continue developing this path… could I eventually establish an immortal cultivation civilization?"

Uchiha Kiyo fell into deep contemplation.
