Uchiha's personal opinion

Then, the natural energy in his palm burst forth with five-colored light once again as Sage Chakra was inputted.

Uchiha Tokukatsu's aura was strengthened once again as he absorbed natural energy.

Orochimaru was filled with longing and wished he could take Orochimaru's place.

"This is the principle of taking from the surplus and giving to the deficiency."

Uchiha Tokumitsu withdrew his hands and spoke slowly.

"Then... what about the way of humanity?"

Orochimaru, eager for knowledge, asked impatiently.

"To take from the deficient and give to the excessive..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu once again condensed a five-colored ball of light in his palm: "Would you like to try?"

"How...how do I test it?"

Orochimaru felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but also a pang of reluctance.

"I might permanently lose some of my chakra."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also said with some uncertainty.

After figuring out this new move, he hadn't actually used it on anyone yet.

"Let's give it a try..."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth and stretched out his left hand.

"Don't worry, no one will die!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu casually offered a word of comfort, then the five-colored ball of light in his hand transformed into a beam of light and shot towards Orochimaru's left palm.

Before Orochimaru could react, he felt a loss of sensation in the end of his left hand!

It's as if the hand no longer exists!

"This is……"

After sensing it for a moment, Orochimaru realized that all the chakra in his left palm had disappeared!

But the palm itself was not injured at all!

Moreover, he was absolutely certain that the lost portion of chakra was indeed permanent. In other words, Uchiha Tokugawa's mysterious beam of light completely erased a portion of his chakra!

As a result, Uchiha Tokumitsu's aura experienced a slight boost!

"This is to take from the deficient and give to the excessive."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said leisurely, "My chakra quantity and concentration are stronger than yours, so I can obtain more chakra by plundering the outside world."

"As expected of Lord Deguang..."

Ignoring the stinging pain in his left hand, Orochimaru immediately bowed down.

Although he didn't know Uchiha Tokumitsu's intention, he was quite certain that he was trying to warn him not to overthink things!

The problem is, he hasn't been doing anything lately!

Even human experiments have been suspended for a long time. Could it be that something has inadvertently violated the taboos of the Uchiha clan?

Orochimaru pondered this for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Therefore, I summarize it as the Way of Heaven and Man."

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had unintentionally given Orochimaru another nudge, said leisurely, while getting up to help Orochimaru to his feet.

"The Way of Heaven and Man..."

Orochimaru finally managed to calm himself down, but his intense curiosity immediately kicked in again: "That five-colored light just now was...?"

"I call it the Five-Colored Divine Light."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said without changing his expression, "Theoretically, it can disintegrate and refine any of the five elemental chakra types, or even ninjutsu."

"I……"

Orochimaru hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The so-called "way of humanity" is just too much to his liking!

Orochimaru believed he lacked the aptitude for natural energy and even Sage Chakra. Although he was able to absorb and refine Sage Chakra through the Sage Seed, this was essentially relying on an "external cheat" and did not offer much benefit to longevity. At most, it only increased his combat power and satisfied his curiosity.

But a single beam of light disintegrated and dissolved the chakra of others...

This method of plunder is absolutely brilliant!

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with longing, but also with some trepidation.

"You want to learn?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile.

Orochimaru nodded vigorously.

"Once you complete this set of tasks, I will teach you the secrets of the Way of Man..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu magically pulled out a research project, half a person's height, from under his desk and solemnly handed it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, overjoyed at having found such a valuable resource, repeatedly expressed his gratitude and then eagerly resigned and left!

Like a carrot tied to the front of a donkey, Orochimaru, who had been completely led astray by Uchiha Tokumitsu, was now full of energy.

"That's great!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, on the other hand, was filled with satisfaction.

Chapter 425 The Future of a Clan

Orochimaru left excitedly, while Uchiha Tokumitsu was full of pride.

The Uchiha clan, however, considered it a treasure.

For those Uchiha Jonin whose strength had long stagnated, seeing the relevant discussions on "De Guang's Mass Law" and "Orochimaru's Energy Law," especially the key points personally described by Uchiha De Guang, felt like "the clouds have parted to reveal the clear sky, and the moon has finally appeared after waiting through the clouds." They suddenly felt enlightened!

Within just five days, five members of the Uchiha clan who had risen to the rank of Special Jonin or Jonin through their own efforts but had not yet awakened the Sharingan successfully fused Yin Release and Fire Release into the Fire Release Kekkei Genkai by combining the two laws with the Sage Technique Seed and Fire Release Techniques bestowed by Uchiha Tokuko.

This caused an even greater shock within the Uchiha clan than when Uchiha Tokumitsu provided the Fire Release training method!

Uchiha Tokumitsu's Flame Release training method belongs to the category of bloodline limit synthesized by elemental attributes. Compared to bloodline limit limits like the Sharingan, which originate from bloodline power, the awakening difficulty is relatively lower, but the requirements for chakra are still very high. Even among the Jonin of the Uchiha clan, many have failed to reach the threshold for training.

On the contrary, delicate technical ninjas like Uchiha Tokumitsu's mother, Emiko, and Uchiha Makoto, who are skilled in sealing techniques or genjutsu, have a certain advantage in the training of fire release.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu is like a bug in the system.

First, he provided the Fire Release training method, and then he bestowed the Sage Mode seeds upon the Jonin of the clan. Now, before the Jonin of the clan have even had a chance to fully understand the synthesis and application of Sage Mode chakra, Uchiha Tokumitsu's chakra research results have once again significantly accelerated the training progress of the clan members!

For Uchiha ninjas, if they still can't break through with this level of instruction and environment, they might as well die sooner!

Within the family, the happiest person was Elder Setsuna!

……

"Little Deguang..."

In the Grand Elder's residence, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had come to pay his respects once again, sat in front of Grand Elder Setsuna and silently nurtured the old man's body with Sage Mode Five Elements Chakra.

Unlike ordinary chakra, Sage Mode Five Elements Chakra is a hodgepodge formed by fusing natural energy, the five elemental chakras, and the power of tailed beasts. In addition to providing stronger combat power, it can also have a certain nourishing effect on the human body.

"Almost done~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually.

Then, he carefully circulated the five sage chakras within Elder Setsuna's body, and also bestowed upon him a specially condensed, weakened version of the sage seed to suit his current relatively weak physical condition.

"This is magic..."

The elder silently felt the warmth within his body.

His originally frail body seemed to be experiencing a "rejuvenation" under the nourishment of chakra. In his perception, it seemed that the natural energy of the outside world was slowly attaching to his body under the influence of some mysterious and divine force, and strengthening his body.

"It's ready~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu made a final hand seal, sealing the Five Elements Sealing Technique on Elder Setsuna's abdomen, before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "How are you feeling, Elder?"

"seem……"

In an instant, the elder raised his hands, which had been trembling and made it difficult for him to even drink tea, and felt as if he had become several years younger!

"This is the power of magic..."

"Back then, Hashirama defeated Lord Madara using Sage Mode and Wood Release..."

The Grand Elder felt a sense of loss for a moment.

"That's all in the past."

Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled and said, "However, I was too busy with official duties to pay my respects to the Grand Elder recently, which was my fault."

"Emiko and Nakagen will come over whenever they have time. Let's not waste our time dealing with an old man like me."

Although Elder Setsuna said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Besides his official identity as the Grand Elder, he was also Uchiha Tokumitsu's great-uncle; how could an elder not feel gratified that his junior had achieved such success?

Moreover, with the Uchiha clan rising to the top of the ninja world and the shogunate's power surpassing that of the ninja villages and nations, all the original radicals' proposals were successfully achieved by Uchiha Tokumitsu through various means. For Setsuna, the elder from the Warring States period, it was a life without regrets.

"...I intend to resign from my position as the head of the family's service department."

Uchiha Tokumitsu carefully chose his words and said, "The Dark Guard will also be incorporated into the Shogunate's organizational structure and will be directly under my command."

"Anything else..."

Elder Setsuna comfortably rocked back in his recliner, enjoying the comfort brought by the Sage Art Chakra Seal and the warm midday sun.

The position of Samurai Kanrei is a special honorary title within the Uchiha clan, originating from the official titles bestowed upon the Uchiha clan by daimyo and shoguns in various countries during the Warring States period. However, apart from a secret guard unit under their command, they do not wield any special power.

For Uchiha Tokumitsu now, he is indeed a chicken rib—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

After all, it wouldn't make sense for a shogun to still hold the title of samurai commander, and the secret guards had long been dismantled by Uchiha Tokumitsu, with the original personnel now serving in subordinate agencies of the shogunate and the ninja army.

"Regarding the position of clan chief... I plan to rename it Grand Clan Chief. What do you think of this title?"

"Uchiha Tokumitsu said softly."
