"We were up against two ordinary Jonin, and they were injured. It was like a three-on-two fight, and we still ended up severely injured? You might as well commit suicide to atone for your sins!"

"Five chakra units, superhuman regenerative abilities, and so many advanced ninjutsu you possess—are you kidding me?"

Sitting beside the chakra fire, Mori no Chiba, who had regained consciousness three days ago, looked at the main body opposite her with a look of disappointment and frustration.

When Chiba saw Yue and Iruka leaping down from the tree branch, her tense heartstrings relaxed, and she could no longer resist the weakness brought on by excessive blood loss. Her head lolled to the side, and she fainted amidst Yue's anxious calls.

As soon as she emerged from the darkness, Qianyu heard her clone's sharp and provocative words.

"There's nothing I can do but use Wind Release and Earth Release," Qianyu said, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his right hand on the chakra fire, watching the blue flames leaping between his fingertips.

"I won't reveal my full abilities when I'm not able to protect myself, and besides, with the little slug around, my injuries were to be expected."

"I hope that one day, this fire will become a towering pillar of fire, and when that happens, we will no longer have to depend on others."

Chiyu gazed at the chakra fire, which had expanded to twice its original size, a look of fascination flashing in her eyes. No one could take away this power.

Unfortunately, Sen no Chiba, who was standing next to him, was best at pouring cold water on his feelings. He looked at the fine cracks on his body, which were proof that he had come into this world.

"You only have the Senju bloodline in your body. If you have the opportunity to obtain the Uchiha in the future, there might be a chance. Otherwise, you will always be suppressed by the power of the Six Paths."

Senba didn't say anything to Senba's words, but just stared at the chakra flame in her hand and fell into deep thought.

In the Naruto world, the power system is roughly divided into the chakra system and the Sage Mode based on natural energy.

The chakra system can be said to be absolutely dominant. The Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga clans of Konoha, the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure, and so on are all branches of this system.

For example, when Kaguya Otsutsuki used "All-Killing Ash Bones," it indirectly proved how high the theoretical upper limit of the Kaguya clan's growth was.

For example, Madara Uchiha absorbed Hashirama Senju's cells and then awakened the Rinnegan in his later years, eventually absorbing the Ten-Tails and transforming into the Otsutsuki clan at the end of the series.

However, to be fair, the fact that he considered Hashirama Senju in a physical sense was something Chiba never expected; this style of drawing is indeed a bit bizarre.

Although it seemed simple for Uchiha Madara to become an Otsutsuki, Chiba hadn't forgotten that Madara's true identity was the reincarnation of Indra, plus the reincarnation of his younger brother Ashura, Hashirama Senju.

If the power of the Six Paths is involved, then the success rate for ordinary people is almost zero; at most, they would be like Obito Uchiha, a half-finished product.

Therefore, Chiyu wasn't really confident about transforming into an Otsutsuki, especially with the filial son Black Zetsu around. If he were to be tricked into becoming Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection vessel, it would be a tragedy.

As for the Sage Mode of natural energy, to put it simply, it is an amplifier. When entering Sage Mode, the power of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu will all experience explosive growth.

At the same time, natural energy and the chakra system are incompatible, as can be seen in ninjutsu that cannot absorb natural energy with Truth-Seeking Balls.

The source of natural energy is those three sacred lands. This is a power that existed even before the Otsutsuki descended into this world. The native power and the invading foreign power are inherently opposed to each other.

Looking at it this way, it seems that when the Toad Sage helped the Sage of Six Paths and his brother seal away his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, it wasn't entirely for the sake of the ninja world.

However, the upper limit of Sage Mode can never compare to the upper limit of the chakra system. Hashirama Senju and Kabuto Yakushi are already the pinnacle of this path, but they are still far from the Six Paths level.

In fact, what Chiba was most worried about regarding natural energy was the danger of cultivating it. The original work did not mention the method of cultivating Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest, but referring to Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, the danger should be about the same.

However, Chiyu had no choice but to continue. Just based on the fact that natural energy and chakra are incompatible, he had to keep practicing. Chiyu never stuck on one path.

Just as Chiba was brainstorming, Mori Chiba suddenly appeared in front of him, staring intently at him.

With their minds in sync, Qianyu naturally understood the other's thoughts, but it was simply impossible for this living father to think that way.

"Stop joking," Qianyu shook her head, directly rejecting the other party's suggestion. "Do you think Uchiha Shisui's eyes are so easy to get? Even if I used all my trump cards in a head-on fight, I might not be able to beat him. Right now, we should focus on building a good relationship with him."

"Physical body, don't blame me for not warning you," Mori no Chiba snorted coldly, staring directly into Chiba's eyes, and said in a meaningful tone, "Although they are all Sharingan, there are differences in their levels."

"Shisui Uchiha's eyes are undoubtedly of a very high grade and relatively easy to obtain. The rest are much more difficult. Of course, if you are strong enough in the future, you can directly gouge out Obito Uchiha's or Weasel's eyes."

Senba had considered what Mori no Chiba was saying, but he had a backup plan in mind: perhaps he could also obtain a pair of Sharingan of his own.

However, all of that is for later. For now, he is just a minor genius in Konoha. Especially after this incident, Uchiha Shisui will definitely tell the Third Hokage about his performance.

With his exceptional talent, and lacking a power like Wood Release that disrupts the balance of power, the Third Hokage was undoubtedly the most at ease.

Chiba could imagine that when they returned, the Third Hokage might use an "S"-rank illusion technique like "Will of Fire" on him.

Look at Uchiha Shisui lying unconscious next to Chiba. Under the brainwashing of the Will of Fire, how twisted this child's life is.

To put it jokingly, the appearance of "Kotoamatsukami" might be the result of the Third Hokage's Will of Fire being deeply implanted in his mind.

Of course, few members of the Uchiha clan are without inner conflict. Just look at their clan leader: he wants to integrate into the village but can't bring himself to do so; he wants to lead his clan to seize power by force but is afraid of failure leading to the extermination of the clan.

In this tangled tug-of-war, the Uchiha clan was ridiculously wiped out by their own people—it's a joke.

To put it another way, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the death of a single White Zetsu was more valuable than that of an entire Uchiha clan member, at least because they died on the front lines of battle.

Thinking of this, Qianyu slowly opened his eyes. A strong light came in from outside the window, making him squint. He turned his head and saw Yue sitting next to him, her little head nodding sleepily. Qianyu couldn't help but smile.

The joyful laughter also awakened the sleeping Uchiha Tsuki.
