I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

The hoarse voice burst into transcendent laughter, and Orochimaru conducted six of the most detailed autopsies in a row, spending an entire night.

Finally, through various details, he completely ruled out the possibility that these ninjas died from the fire escape, and also confirmed that the broken hearts were broken by their respective heart muscles.

Although ten days have passed and the high concentration of adrenaline has been naturally metabolized and cannot be detected at all, Orochimaru still found clues through the twisting of muscles, blood vessels and nerves.

Orochimaru is not a detective in Yoneka Town, Tokyo, Neon Country. He does not need to find hard evidence that is solid.

Analyzing these traces was enough for him to deduce the cause of death of the root ninja and to confirm that there was something wrong with the suspect.

Orochimaru, who was quite sleepy, licked his eyes with his tongue. After forcibly refreshing himself in this way, his spirit gradually became more energetic. Taking out the data recorded throughout the night and analyzing it carefully, he constructed various different and unprecedented battle modes in his mind.

"Hehehe, that's really interesting."

"Excluding all kinds of disguised traces, when these root ninjas died, most of them had no external injuries."

"The only four who were injured before death were actually inflicted by each other."

"Killing each other."

"Is it a puppet technique that directly controls the human body from the nerves? Or is it an illusion technique that completely controls the human heart?"

"Well, considering the Sharingan of the Uchiha family, the possibility of genjutsu is relatively high, but this cannot explain the phenomenon of muscles that are so tight that they break, and there is no way to explain the cause of death when the myocardium tears the heart."

Orochimaru fell into deep thought. After countless fantastic ideas, he began to examine and eliminate various possibilities one by one. Finally, he came up with an answer that went against common sense.

This answer even made him feel unbelievable, so much so that he cried out in surprise: "Illusion can deceive the brain to the extent of taking over the neural network? The neural network can be taken over!!"

"How can this be?"

"..."

Orochimaru became more and more excited, and even his tongue couldn't help showing the forked transformation image, and his voice changed the tone because of this: "It's possible... No, it must be like this!"

"Uchiha Yuu is only eighteen years old, but he can actually develop genjutsu to such an extent. It turns out that the genius of the Uchiha family is such an exaggeration."

"No, no, no, that's not right. What I thought was wrong. This is not just a talent for illusion. It also requires a deep understanding of the anatomy of the human body, and a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system."

"This is not only beyond the scope of my knowledge, even Tsunade has not done such in-depth research on nerves."

"This is impossible. How can he have the time and resources to conduct a sufficient number of dissections?"

Orochimaru didn't struggle with questions he couldn't understand. He took out a scroll and recorded his questions and conjectures, and gave up thinking about this issue for the time being.

He packed up his temporary laboratory, packed various equipment and medicines, and sealed them. The corpses that were dissected were not moved, but were lit and burned.

When the body and other evidence were burned beyond recognition in the flames, Orochimaru casually used Earth Release to collapse the temporarily dug underground cave, burying all traces deep underground.

Just after he left the ground, he suddenly thought of another question: "Huh? Wait, I remember that the root ninja sent by Danzo Shimura was four teams and two living weapons. Plus the root ninja in charge, it happened to be 15 personal."

"The root ninja in charge is my former experimental subject. He is the guy with two hearts. Where is the body?"

After thinking about it with his eyes closed, Orochimaru was sure that there were no test subjects of his own among the corpses collected. Then he recalled that Uchiha Yuu's report mentioned that he killed four enemies with the Fire Release and Go Fireball Jutsu. , they were blown up to the point where there was no trace of their corpses left.

"Hiss, hiss, Yuu Uchiha... the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. He has said everything, but he can be included in a lot of nonsense. Even I was fooled, playing with the text of the report. The level is much better than mine..."

"The enigmatic Uchiha is impeccable in almost all aspects, but he makes a lot of mistakes in covering up high-level work. It seems that he really lacks leadership experience."

"Is it possible that Uchiha Yuu is not the next clan leader specially trained by the Uchiha family, but a grassroots Uchiha who has risen through talent?"

Orochimaru, who also came from a grassroots background, developed empathy at this time, and his affection for Uchiha Yuu skyrocketed.

Orochimaru decided to help Uchiha Yu cover up the flaws he left, not only because of his good impression, but also because of curiosity.

Yes, Orochimaru's curiosity about Uchiha Yuu exploded to the surface. He didn't even care about the work he had to deal with next. He sat down and began to fully analyze the rising star of the Uchiha family who suddenly entered his field of vision.

He wanted to go through all the information in his mind, rearrange it, and see the full picture of Uchiha Yu from a higher level.

After a long time, the look of amazement in Orochimaru's eyes became more and more intense. He no longer looked down on Uchiha Yuu at the beginning, but regarded him as an equal.

"I didn't expect Uchiha Yuu to be so strange. Except for his pair of Sharingan eyes, he doesn't look like a member of the Uchiha family. Compared with him, the more famous Uchiha Obito is actually still an Uchiha, stubborn to the point of paranoia. Self-centered, self-righteous pride.”

Orochimaru frowned and murmured to himself: "Forget it. The strange thing is that he gave me a very, very familiar feeling. Who is it?"

"Teacher? No, he is much more powerful than Teacher. Except for his lack of personal strength, he can amaze me in all other aspects."

"Then he is the ninja who is more powerful than sensei and whom I have met... Hanzo? Haha, no, he is just strong enough in combat and is not worth mentioning as a leader."

"First Hokage-sama? Tsk, when the first generation passed away, I was less than one year old. I am indeed very familiar with Senju Hashirama-sama's cells, but I am not familiar with him as a person. It can't be him."

Suddenly, Orochimaru had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he was even so shocked by his fantastic idea that he shouted:

"The Second Hokage! Senju Tobirama-sama!"

"That's right, it's Senju Tobirama-sama. This feels right."

"Strong, patient, good at forbearing, good at developing ninjutsu, and good at playing politics, Yuu Uchiha is very... like Lord Tobirama."

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile bitterly. He began to worry about his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It was almost like a joke that a guy who looked like the Second Hokage suddenly appeared in the Uchiha family, but for the Third Hokage, he really met his match.

If Yuu Uchiha becomes the leader of the Uchiha family, Orochimaru feels that his teacher probably, probably, should have been crushed by him in all aspects, leaving him looking disgraced and embarrassed, which may become the norm.

Orochimaru tilted his head, rarely used his right hand to rub his chin, and murmured: "Or...after Uchiha Yuu becomes the leader of the Uchiha clan, his opponent will be me?"

"That would be really interesting. If I had him as my opponent, I wouldn't be bored as the Fourth Hokage."

"Hokage...eternal life..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Suddenly Orochimaru laughed crazily, he laughed so wantonly, tears of laughter almost flowed out, and he didn't even care about the strange glances of the guarding ninja who was alerted by the laughter.

"What am I thinking?" Orochimaru said mockingly: "Life is so fragile. The first Hokage died suddenly, the second Hokage died suddenly, and the rope tree also suddenly..."

"So what if he was strong and lucky, didn't Sakumo-senpai die suddenly..."

"Even I don't know if I can survive until the end of the war. What was I thinking!"

Orochimaru looked at the rising sun in the east and smiled happily: "Uchiha Yu, if you can live until the end of the war, and I can live until the end of the war, I will have fun with you as the Fourth Hokage. "

"Whether it is ten years, twenty years, or thirty years, we must make our short and fragile life wonderful enough!!"

…

"Alas--"

Uchiha Yu suddenly shuddered, his heart was beating wildly, and then quickly subsided, leaving only white hair and sweat, sticky, wet, cold, and very uncomfortable.

"Who the hell is plotting against me? Or has someone discovered some of my secrets?"

"Yeah~~~ I'm so annoyed!!"

Uchiha Yuu had a constipated expression on his face.

Among all his magical powers, this [whim] is the most unreliable. There is no prelude when it is activated, and it always comes and goes without a trace, leaving people confused.

Even if it is successfully activated, it will have little effect.

Because Uchiha Yuu can't really predict, nor can he calculate the secret of silent luck, he has no way of knowing why the magical power explodes.

[Whim] is also easily interfered by Uchiha Yu's knowledge, intelligence, and common sense, and can even be strongly interfered by changes in mood.

Sometimes after a lot of interference, the magical power brought to Uchiha Yu on a whim is completely misleading.

The joy of seeing the purple light of the morning sun for the first time was completely ruined by this sudden incident.

But Uchiha Yuu did not get up immediately, but continued to sit on the rocks by the sea, closed his eyes, and continued to recall the feeling of the first purple energy entering the Dantian.

…

After arriving at the uninhabited island last night, Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masato started a feasting mode.

After one person and one cat drank the coconut water, they built the bonfire into a huge fire, took out the various stored foods, roasted them on the fire, and ate from the first rise of the moon to the zenith of the moon.

Feeling unsatisfied, Miwa Masato even went into the sea at night to try to catch some seafood in the dark water.

As a cat native to the desert, her attempts failed ignominiously.

When Miwa Masashi reluctantly came ashore, he found that the sea behind him had shone brightly.

Countless fluorescent squids swim from the deep sea to this small bay. They play and chase each other in this shallow bay. They use the brightness of their blue-green fluorescence as a means of competition to compete with each other for the upper reaches of the bay where the current enters the bay during high tide. Location.

Miwa Masato rushed into the sea again and started hunting. These glowing squids were so dense that there was no room to hide. The tabby cat could catch at least one squid by waving its claws with its eyes closed.

I casually caught thirty or forty squids, but the ease of hunting to the limit only dispelled Miwa Masayo's interest.

She walked back to the beach with her face in her arms, shook off the sea water from her body, curled up into Yuu Uchiha's arms, and accompanied her husband to quietly look at the sea that was so bright that it surpassed the starry sky.

Without the fun of hunting, even the feeling of enjoying the squid was much inferior. Miwa Masashi lost his appetite after eating a dozen squid.

She suddenly asked: "Yu, what are all these squids doing, nya?"

"Why are there so many cats gathered? Why aren't cats afraid of death?"

Uchiha Yu couldn't move his eyes away from the sea, and the voice he answered seemed to be full of some strange rhythm: "Spring is coming, everything revives, the prairie is here again and animals are interacting..."

"Bah, wrong, try again."

"When winter comes, the squid in the sea begin their annual grand gathering. They gather in the warm bays and lay countless eggs to prepare for hatching in the coming spring."

"Speak well, meow!"

Uchiha Yu laughed and said, "I'm not a marine expert. I don't know much about these squids. I can only make guesses based on common sense."

"I think the bay in front of me is the spawning ground of this kind of fluorescent squid. Maybe the sea water here is warmer and the eggs laid can survive the winter more easily. Maybe the bay is completely covered with sand and predators cannot remove all the squid eggs. Eat them all.”

"Anyway, this should be the most suitable place for their eggs to spend the winter."

"Looking at how crazy the squids are, maybe their lives have come to an end, and they will even die after tonight..."

"In order to give birth to their own offspring and to continue their life code, the squid will use all their strength. At this moment, they completely disregard their own lives."

Miwa Masashi was silent. Through Uchiha Yu's explanation, she finally felt the madness of these squids that could be caught casually.

They sat on the beach and watched quietly. What they saw was not a single squid, but the sea that reflected the starry night sky. They looked at the magnificent life frenzy composed of countless squids.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yu keenly noticed that the ocean currents changed in the opposite direction, and the seawater began to flow into the bay.

It's high tide time.

As the seawater poured in, Uchiha Yu felt that the squids were strongly stimulated. Not only did their fluorescence brightness double again, but each squid began to emit chakra strong enough to be sensed, and converted into Powerful electromagnetic waves.

Countless squids gathered together to form a strong magnetic field that enveloped the entire bay, just like some kind of natural barrier.

"Pear-chan!"

"Meow?"

"The tide is rising, and the climax of the squid party is coming!"

boom--

Before Uchiha Yuu finished speaking, a huge swordfish jumped into the bay from the entrance of the bay, riding the waves of the rising tide.

Then came the second and third swordfish, and more and more swordfish rushed in.

This kind of large carnivorous fish, which is even rarer than swordfish, larger in size and more ferocious in fighting power, actually has more than twenty fish gathered in this small bay. It is simply unbelievable.

There is no doubt that the fluorescent squid has a special value that is unknown to everyone, and it is worthy of gathering the swordfish that roam the entire Ninja Sea from thousands of miles away.

The high speed of the swordfish cuts the magnetic field lines in the magnetic field, instantly triggering a strong current. Bright electric sparks flow on the body surface of the swordfish, causing them to feel great pain, and even their scales fall off due to the electric shock.

Holding back the pain, the swordfish swung its body desperately, trying hard to chase the larger female squid with a bulging belly like a ball. Once it bit, it tore off the squid's belly and swallowed it, ignoring the squid's head and tentacles.

Uchiha Yu suddenly understood: The swordfish is here to prey on the fish roe! Squid roe is good!

However, when he saw the twenty-odd swordfish looking in agony surrounded by lightning, his greed suddenly disappeared. He could just wait for the squids to leave and then find a way to fish them out. There was no need to bear the squid's The electromagnetic barrier goes into the sea.

The weak barrier didn't seem to be able to kill the huge swordfish, but the pain caused by the electric shock was not easy to bear. The smaller swordfish seemed to be full, or it might be that it couldn't bear the pain, so it exited the bay first. . Then the larger swordfish also lined up to leave the bay and dispersed in the open sea.

Uchiha Yu couldn't help but said: "Strange, why do these swordfish seem to be running for their lives?"

"Is there a more ferocious guy coming?"

At this time, the female squid has begun to ovulate, and the strings of eggs are actually glowing, looking extremely brilliant in the dark water.

Male squids also discharge their semen in the upper reaches of the tide. The squids emulsify the seawater, and the seawater in the bay loses its clarity and transparency.

Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yuu instantly felt nauseated and disgusted with the sea water in front of them.

Uchiha Yu even slapped the beach and performed the Earth Release Ninjutsu.

Earth Escape·Rock Pillar

Under the control of Uchiha Yu, the originally aggressive ninjutsu effect was slowly released. The sand within a diameter of about ten meters was lifted up by the rock pillars, and together with the bonfire, it was raised more than ten meters.

At this moment, in the dark water outside the bay, a large, indescribable tentacle rose up and snaked its way towards the bay.

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masashi were shocked. They both felt the chakra emanating from the tentacles. Although the intensity was not very high, the chakra full of hatred was the chakra of the tailed beast.

It is impossible to encounter a tailed beast. All the tailed beasts in the East China Sea are now sealed into jinchuriki. Meeting a jinchuriki is definitely important information that needs to be reported back to the camp.

Uchiha was dumbfounded. Could it be that the disguised vacation he took advantage of a special mission was only valid for half a night?
