Upgrading Earth Release

Qingcheng secretly said, "I obtained this Earth Release: Earth Travel Technique by banging Meiling. Not only did I gain an Earth Release Ninjutsu, but I also gained Earth Release Chakra nature transformation, allowing me to use Earth Release."

Qingcheng secretly thought, "Meiling probably specialized in Earth Release, which was why the system rewarded Earth Release. The Uchiha Clan mainly specialized in Fire Release, with other types of techniques as support. Every Uchiha member has Fire-nature Chakra."

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "If I want to improve by leaps and bounds, I still need to bang Tsunade. I might directly obtain a Sage Body, and maybe even get the Yin Seal as a reward. With those two setups, who would honestly refine Chakra?"

Qingcheng began planning. The first step was to master Genjutsu and the Three Basic Jutsu, then get close to Tsunade and hit her with Genjutsu. The second step was to transform into Dan Katō and have a deep exchange with her. Wouldn't that get me the Sage Body?"

However, training had priorities too. He had to first train Ninjutsu for escaping so that he could remain undefeated in battle."

So Qingcheng began by practicing a burrowing technique. As his hands formed seals, he called out, "Earth Release: Earth Travel Technique!"

Qingcheng's body passed through the ground and slowly entered the earth. Earth-nature Chakra surrounded his entire body, making his body like mud and allowing him to walk through the soil. In an instant, the Chakra in Qingcheng's body began draining rapidly."

Afraid of getting stuck underground, Qingcheng immediately drilled back out. His clothes were completely intact without a speck of dust, and he could even breathe underground."

Qingcheng evaluated it. "This Ninjutsu is indeed pretty good. Once I learn how to burrow underground, I can also use the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique." Qingcheng then selected a more advanced stealth technique from the Uchiha Ninjutsu collection."

B-rank Ninjutsu, "Earth Release: Earth Concealment Technique." He immediately formed hand seals. Qingcheng shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Concealment Technique!" In an instant, Qingcheng's body drilled into the ground, much faster than the previous Earth Release."

But after only a short while, the Chakra in his body was nearly depleted. Qingcheng immediately emerged from the ground, looking exhausted as he sprawled across the floor to rest."

Qingcheng panted heavily and complained, "Why is my Chakra as weak as Kakashi's? I can't accept being so short and weak. I want to become Hashirama. I want to bang out a storm."

After resting for a moment, Qingcheng sat cross-legged and began refining Chakra. During the process, Qingcheng could clearly feel his waist continuously exerting strength."

He still had the weakened version of the Senju Clan's physical constitution. His Chakra recovered very quickly, and after around twenty minutes, it had recovered seventy or eighty percent."

Qingcheng was delighted. "My passive talent, Strong Kidney and Body Strengthening, doesn't just make my kidneys stronger. My body will gradually strengthen as well, becoming sturdier and able to store more and more Chakra."

Qingcheng closed his eyes and communicated with the system. "Use an Upgrade Card to upgrade Earth Release: Earth Concealment Technique." The system chimed. "Upgrading Earth Concealment Technique. First use of an Upgrade Card grants an additional level. Upgrade complete."

Obtained: "S-rank Ultimate Ninjutsu, Earth Release: Earth Travel Technique."

Qingcheng said in surprise, "An S-rank Ninjutsu for burrowing? Isn't that especially cool? If I'd known that the first time using a Ninjutsu Upgrade Card gave an extra level, I should have upgraded Genjutsu instead."

Qingcheng complained again, "I really took a huge loss this time. Next time, I'll definitely have to bang Tsunade a few more times to make up for it."

The moment Qingcheng comprehended the Earth Travel Technique, he instantly realized how amazing it was. "This is an even more badass Ninjutsu than White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique. I can burrow more than a hundred meters underground and move rapidly through deep earth layers."

It could be called the "dog-hole version of the Flying Thunder God Technique. No Ninja can burrow that deeply underground."

Qingcheng evaluated it again. "Even if Madara saw this, he'd have to praise me: 'When it comes to crawling through dog holes, I acknowledge you as number one.'"

Moreover, this S-rank ultimate dog-hole travel technique did not even require hand seals. He could enter the ground simply by using Chakra. It was absolutely a godly technique for ambushes. Having comprehended the ultimate transformation of Earth-nature Chakra also greatly reduced the Chakra consumed by burrowing."

As Uchiha Qingcheng continued practicing, he merely needed to call out, "Earth Release: Earth Travel Technique!" and his body would directly enter the ground. He could move flexibly through deep soil, coming and going freely, even faster than White Zetsu's burrowing speed."

Qingcheng was extremely satisfied. He secretly thought, Tonight, I'll burrow into Danzo's house and use Explosive Tags to blow up his clansmen. I'll make sure the Shimura Clan gets wiped out too.

After the Chakra in his body was exhausted, Qingcheng climbed back out of the ground. He estimated that his current Chakra could sustain burrowing for five minutes. Once his Chakra reserves reached Jonin level, that would become over twenty minutes. He could completely bomb the Shimura Clan several times over."

Qingcheng began refining Chakra again. His kidneys started exerting strength, and after half an hour, his Chakra refinement was complete. His Chakra capacity had also increased somewhat."

Qingcheng selected several Fire Release Ninjutsu scrolls. These were inherited Uchiha techniques: Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique, Dragon Flame Release Song Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, Great Fire Annihilation, Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, and Uchiha Flame Formation."

Qingcheng laughed. "With these Ninjutsu, if the Uchiha Clan were still alive, would the Sarutobi Clan dare call themselves Konoha's number one Fire Release clan? Even the Third Hokage's Five Release Great Combo Technique is a combined technique, and it only rivals a single Great Fire Annihilation. It's only because the Uchiha Clan was exterminated that every demon and monster dares claim to be number one."

Qingcheng said in a deep voice, "Konoha's number one Fire Release clan must be the Uchiha Clan."

Qingcheng reviewed every Fire Release Ninjutsu. Among them, Great Fire Annihilation was B-rank Ninjutsu, but its flames could increase in area based on the amount of Chakra used. It could completely rival ordinary S-rank Ninjutsu and was well worth learning."

Qingcheng also discovered several particularly good techniques. For example, the A-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu, Dragon Flame Release Song Technique, could spit out several enormous fire dragons and was very worth learning. There was also Uchiha Flame Formation, a defensive Ninjutsu worth studying."

Qingcheng added, "Although, in a sense, Fire Release has never really burned anyone to death, aside from Sarutobi Asuma killing a few people with Fire Release, that doesn't affect Fire Release's violent aesthetics."

Just as Qingcheng was engrossed in reading, a voice came from the doorway. "Clan Head, the chef has prepared the food. Please enjoy your lunch."

Qingcheng replied with a smile, "Icha Icha Paradise is really good. Yamahuku, go check the streets next time and see when the newest volume of Icha Icha Paradise will go on sale. After reading it, I feel completely refreshed."

The ANBU Ninja and Root Ninja monitoring from the roof were both on the verge of collapse. They cursed inwardly, Evil Uchiha Qingcheng hid in his room all afternoon, and there were even sounds of his fingers moving. He was actually reading Icha Icha Paradise?

When Uchiha Sasuke heard about Icha Icha Paradise, his face filled with interest. With a serious expression, he asked, "Brother Qingcheng, is Icha Icha Paradise some powerful Ninjutsu? You were able to read it all morning."

Qingcheng explained with a smile, "You're still a child. You'll understand once you grow up. It's an incredibly amazing thing."

After hearing that, Uchiha Sasuke's interest deepened. He asked curiously, "Then what exactly is it? I really want to know."

Qingcheng replied with a smile, "Do you have someone you like? Or someone who likes you?"

When Sasuke thought back, the image of a blond-haired boy appeared in his mind. "Sasuke, I challenge you!" In an instant, Uchiha Sasuke's face was filled with disgust. He said speechlessly, "I don't have anyone I like. Those girls are troublesome creatures."

Qingcheng said with a smile, "If the Uchiha Clan wants to prosper again, those girls need to marry into our Uchiha Clan. Be more patient with them from now on."

Sasuke nodded awkwardly after hearing that, then said helplessly, "The Uchiha Clan has actually fallen to this point. It's truly hateful."

To be fair, the Uchiha Clan basically produced handsome men and beautiful women. Whether it was the young Sasuke or Qingcheng himself, they were both top-tier Konoha heartthrobs."

Qingcheng looked at his fluffy Visual Kei hair and his fair, jade-like oval face. He could completely make a living off his looks."

But real men should wear middle-parted hair. Next time, he would change it and raise his looks even further. When he banged others in the future, he would feel a little less guilty."

Sasuke looked at Qingcheng's extremely serious expression and secretly thought, As expected of Brother Qingcheng. Even the way he talks is impressive.
