#59 - The Kingdom of Thunder may not work, but the Kingdom of Fire may work!

Chakra exists within everyone, simply reacting differently to different nature transformations.

Just like people's appearances, they come in countless forms.

Qingsi's discussions with Nohara Rin also bring him many benefits, as he explores the possibilities of new ninjutsu.

Many ninjutsu are actually still under development.

The current ninja world is facing unprecedented changes unseen in thousands of years.

Various ninjutsu are emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.

During the Warring States period, which lasted for thousands of years, various forces fought endlessly.

The average lifespan of ninjas was only thirty years. Waking up, the first problem they faced was whether they could survive the day. All training was family-based, and some civilian ninjas could only pick up scraps to learn on their own.

Apart from bloodline limits and secret techniques, there were very few other ninjutsu.

From ninjas wearing shouldered armor to now wearing light chainmail, it can be seen that the era of cold weapon combat supplemented by ninjutsu has passed, with greater emphasis on agility.

Because more and more powerful ninjutsu have been developed and used as the main means of attack, the correct approach is to evade. Enduring damage head-on is the worst possible strategy.

Senju Tobirama can be seen as a representative figure in this. Many forbidden techniques were created by him, such as the "Flying Thunder God Technique," "Shadow Clone Technique," "Impure World Reincarnation," and even Naruto's commonly used "Rasengan" is a recent product.

Qingsi now probably hasn't even created the "Rasengan" yet.

Kushina would eventually be unable to endure being confined within the sealing barrier and would go outside despite the obstruction.

The Nine-Tails seized this opportunity to rampage within Kushina's body.

It was on the day of the rampage that the "Rasengan" first took shape.

"Thank you, Qingsi."

Nohara Rin said gratefully, having learned a lot again today. Kakashi should be interested.

Qingsi is truly a good person, willing to spend so much time helping her.

She knew that when Qingsi had just transferred, her explanations had only lasted for that period of time.

Qingsi understood many things after hearing them once, and could learn them quickly.

But the nature transformation of the "Lightning" attribute could not be explained enough, no matter how long they talked.

After all, they were discussing future developments, rather than learning a ninjutsu step by step.

"You're welcome."

Qingsi shook his head.

In the future, he would need Nohara Rin's help in many aspects, whether it was in medical ninjutsu or restraining Obito.

Nohara Rin was a good card to have.

After Rin left, Qingsi also went out from home.

He was going to buy groceries for the next week.

Qingsi wasn't picky about food, as long as it provided enough nutrition.

The Uchiha settlement was like a city within a city, with many ordinary Uchiha clansmen who were not ninjas.

They did some business here to earn some money.

Mostly Uchihas patronized them, and few outsiders came.

"Qingsi, Elder Setsuna is looking for you."

After paying an Uchiha clansman who sold vegetables, someone called out to Qingsi.

Turning around, it was a ninja with short black hair.

He had a black mole in the center of his forehead, a dark blue long shirt, and the Uchiha clan's flame fan crest on his back.

"You are...?"

Qingsi recognized him as Uchiha Tekka by the signature black mole.

One of the three people responsible for questioning Itachi.

So far, he had not had any contact with Tekka.

"I am Uchiha Tekka, follow me."

Uchiha Tekka briefly introduced himself and told Qingsi to follow him.

Hearing this, Qingsi followed, carrying the bag of groceries.

Soon, they arrived at a quiet residence.

"Are you adapting well to life in the Uchiha clan?"

The person who spoke was a man with graying hair and very noticeable wrinkles on his face.

He wore half a face-covering mask on his left face, seemingly to cover something.

"Elder Setsuna, I am adapting very well to life here. Since coming here, I can feel that the Uchiha clan is my true home."

Qingsi said.

Information about Uchiha Setsuna flashed through his mind.

During Tobirama Senju's reign, Uchiha Setsuna was quite dissatisfied with his policies for governing the Uchiha clan, believing that he had inherited Madara's will and yearned to reclaim sovereignty from the Senju clan.

He even organized a group of Uchiha ninjas who also advocated radicalism and were extremely individualistic to lead the riots.

In the end, they were suppressed by the Anbu ninjas dispatched by Tobirama Senju.

A few years after Tobirama Senju's death, the Third Hokage took office, taking into account the increasingly subtle gap between the Uchiha clan and the village, so he released Uchiha Setsuna and the rioting clansmen.

In short, Uchiha Setsuna was the head of the hawkish faction!

Below Fugaku, he was the largest faction within the Uchiha clan.

"What differences do you feel between the Land of Lightning and here?"

Uchiha Setsuna asked, his voice very hoarse.

He looked at the robust Qingsi, who was a full half head taller than Tekka beside him.

Unlike most clansmen, Uchiha Setsuna had done extensive research on the history of the Uchiha clan.

There was definitive proof that the Uchiha had been in the Land of Lightning, where they had carried out a long-term mission.

That was to drive out the Blood Mist Clan with the "Blood Dragon Eye," banishing them to the current Land of Hot Water and forbidding them from leaving.

So it wasn't unimaginable that Qingsi was born in the Land of Lightning.

Hearing this, Qingsi opened the grocery bag and selected the best-looking cabbage from it.

"I lived in a small place called Mizukumo Gorge. The environment there is harsh, and there are very few vegetables and fruits. After coming to Konoha, my biggest feeling is that the people here are especially kind, especially the Uchiha."

"Just this ordinary cabbage here is much tastier than those in the Land of Lightning, and the clansman selling vegetables also took good care of me and gave me a discount. Now that I think about it, every day in the Land of Lightning was torture."

Qingsi said with an "excited" expression.

Perhaps because he was born in the Land of Lightning and lived there for several years, some people would ask his opinion during breaks at the ninja school.

Even some Chunin instructors did so.

Whenever they heard Qingsi say that Konoha was stronger, they would be very satisfied.

In short, it was a kind of cultural identity.

The Land of Lightning is no good, the Land of Fire is good!

Our Konoha is so amazing!

"Hey, your awareness is good."

Uchiha Tekka patted Qingsi on the shoulder.

How could a poor and remote place like the Land of Lightning compare to the Land of Fire? Compare to Konoha?

And the Uchiha clan is the largest clan in Konoha!

"The Chunin Exams are in a few months, are you interested in participating?"

Uchiha Setsuna nodded, satisfied with Qingsi's performance.

"I have that thought. I want to do my part for the Uchiha clan as soon as possible."

Qingsi's reply satisfied Uchiha Setsuna. He looked at Qingsi and had the idea of taking Qingsi into his faction.

How could a dove like Fugaku, together with a bunch of insects from Konoha, govern the Uchiha clan well?

"I have high hopes for you, junior."

Uchiha Setsuna stretched out an old hand from his sleeve and took out a scroll to give to Qingsi.
