I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

After Black Zetsu left Kirigakure Village, he used White Zetsu to use the Mayfly Technique and rushed underground toward the Land of Rain.

When he entered the waters of Yuno Country and was about to land on land, he was suddenly thrown from the ground into the sea. Only then did he realize that Bai Jue's whole body was slowly turning into trees, and he was about to die.

Hei Jue said with disdain: "Unfortunately, I really don't want to act with that chatterbox who wants to shit all day long, so I chose someone who can't talk, and he died so soon."

After examination, Black Zetsu discovered that it was White Zetsu who was about to run out of chakra and needed to rest.

Black Zetsu was even more depressed and complained: "Sure enough, the time to awaken the shell of the sacred tree is too short. These low-level White Zetsu without intelligence will need at least 15 years to recover before they can regain the characteristics of immortality."

"We must find the root of the sacred tree as soon as possible and hang it up to replenish energy."

Black Zetsu remembered that there was a White Zetsu warehouse not far away. It was a huge cave formed by the shrunken roots of the sacred tree thousands of years ago. The key was that there was still a small section of tree roots that retained activity.

White Zetsu can be preserved for thousands of years, thanks to the continuous maintenance of active tree roots remaining in various parts of the ninja world.

Black Zetsu decided to go there to replace White Zetsu and check out the precious White Zetsu inventory.

He turned into a layer of black shadow, covering the surface of Bai Zetsu, which was becoming more and more like a sapling. It wrapped around Bai Zetsu and merged into the shadow. He continuously slid in the shadow and headed towards the warehouse in his memory.

There are dense veins of hot spring water there. The 180-degree hot spring is the best nutrition for the broken roots of the sacred tree. It is very suitable for the recovery of the sacred tree and also suitable for Bai Zetsu to speed up the awakening process.

…

Under the Yuanshi's questioning, Goji Yagura's breathing became heavy, his face was bloodshot, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

How could he give up the hatred, especially the hatred of his parents being killed?

As a son, Goju Yagura cannot choose to forgive.

After a long time, he finally regained his composure and stared at Yuan Master with red eyes.

Goju Yagura said word by word: "I will kill every ninja who competes with me for the position of Mizukage today and kill their families."

"But I promise that I will not expand the killing scope without limit, and I will leave enough blood limit seeds."

"I promise!"

"I guarantee it with my son and my soon-to-be-born grandson!"

Hearing Gouju Yagura's assurance, Master Yuan relaxed greatly.

He slowly sat down and said with a smile: "Revenge is human nature. I am very satisfied that you can honestly say how many people you want to kill. This shows that you did not lie to me."

"Gotachibana Yagura, I believe you."

"I leave my children and the future of Kirigakure Village to you."

The redness in Goji Yagura's eyes slowly faded. He lowered his head gratefully and said sincerely: "Thank you for your trust."

Master Yuan shook his head and said: "No need to thank me, the old man still has some requirements: the fifth generation cannot be your son or your grandson."

Goji Yagura raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "Haha, please don't worry, Master Yuanshi. It's really impossible."

"Since I want revenge, I don't know how many people I have to kill, and they are all important figures in the ninja clan. With so much hatred accumulated on me, if my descendants still dare to hope for the position of Mizukage, they are looking for death."

"It's not that extreme. As long as you do a good job and help the fifth generation successfully succeed to the throne, I think the seventh generation is not beyond our reach."

"I hope there will be such a day." Goji Yagura murmured with emotion.

Then he looked at Yuanshi and put forward his new request, "Master Yuanshi, although my current power is stronger than Kaguya Yoshi and Oniden Gengetsu, it is not powerful enough to crush them."

"Without absolutely powerful power, it will take a long time to defeat the three major families, and the price we have to pay will be very high..."

"So, I want more power."

He looked at Yuanshi and asked sincerely: "Master Yuanshi, can the research on tailed beast seals be practical?"

Master Yuan shook his head.

Goji Yagura sighed regretfully, it really couldn't be done.

In fact, this is normal. The three major ninja clans occupy too many resources. Now they have reached 90% of Kirigakure Village's income. After deducting the basic operation and supporting ninjas, how much can be used for research?

Without the investment of money, materials, and personnel, there was no progress in the research on tailed beast seals. When the Whirlpool Kingdom was destroyed, all the sealing techniques stolen from it were wasting away in vain.

Goju Yagura is indeed a suitable leader. He quickly abandoned this extravagant hope and said with a smile: "Forget it, if you don't have a tailed beast, you don't want it. Victory still belongs to us."

"When I become the Fourth Mizukage, let me increase investment in research and create the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki as soon as possible."

"Konoha is first, Sunagakure is second, Iwagakure is third, and now Kumogakure is the latecomer and has succeeded in creating a stronger perfect Jinchuuriki. We Kirigakure can no longer lag behind."

Don’t be proud when you win, don’t be discouraged when you lose.

Even in the face of adversity, we still think about the future.

Yuanshi was extremely satisfied with Goju Yagura's performance. Apart from not being discouraged by defeat, he couldn't do anything well. What's more terrible was that he lacked the courage to make decisions on the spur of the moment, and was not born to be a leader.

Otherwise, how could the Snow Clan be given the position of the third Mizukage after the death of the second generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu? His Yuanshi was the natural successor.

It seems pretty good now. The third-generation Mizukage and the second-generation Mizukage are the same. Although they are from the Great Ninja clan, they have an impartial stance as Mizukage and have made their own contributions to the development of Kirigakure Village.

Now it seems that the Third Mizukage's greatest contribution should be the disciples he trained.

There is hope for the future of Kirigakure Village.

The Kirigakure Village's defeat on the battlefield finally triggered the final chaos within the Ninja Village. From fighting and killing every night, it quickly turned into a fierce battle that was neither black nor white.

Kirigakure Village temporarily withdrew from the Ninja World War.

…

Black Jue hugged White Jue, sliding in and out of the shadows, approaching Bai Jue's warehouse step by step.

When he quickly arrived at the warehouse along the cracks in the rocks, he got into the water again. The splashing water and violent impact made Hei Jue a little confused.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had taken the wrong route and plunged into the hot spring water veins nearby?

Black Zetsu saw a White Zetsu floating in the water, which proved that he was not looking for the wrong place. This was indeed his White Zetsu warehouse, but it was flooded.

It shouldn't be. Every passage here is drilled out by the roots of the sacred tree. The cave walls that look like rocks are filled with the secretions of the sacred tree. They are absolutely tight and ensure 100% sealing.

The remaining roots of the sacred tree also need hot springs to absorb the heat of the hot springs through this layer of protection, rather than absorbing any water or minerals.

The Sacred Tree is a real miracle. It is a pure energy life creature cultivated by the Otsutsuki clan. It does not need any external substances to replenish itself. All it needs is energy.

Even he, Hei Jue, had to follow the gap that was specially left in the past to enter and exit the warehouse. How did the water get in?

Don’t you know when there was an earthquake and new cracks appeared?

The puzzled Black Zetsu looked around for the White Zetsu he had brought with him. He quickly patrolled the entire underground space at an unimaginable high speed, checking the caves along the roots of the sacred tree one by one.

The more he checked, the more frightened Hei Jue became.

This water is not natural water. Although a lot of the chakra and chakra-converted water contained in it has dissipated, its concentration is still hundreds of times that of natural water sources.

This proves that the water was driven by ninjutsu and used as a material for ninjutsu.

Hei Jue even imagined a terrible situation. Could it be that someone attacked this secret warehouse with water escape?

After a while, he found the real reason.

The standard cylindrical vertical cave dug by Uchiha Yu using the natural energy of earth spirits.

Hei Jue stood at the bottom of the cave, looked up, and saw a circular sky. He knew that this was also man-made.

Hei Jue clenched his teeth, and the two rows of white teeth made a squeaking and rubbing sound. He roared in a low voice, half in fear and half in anger: "Who is it? Who flooded my warehouse?"

No one answered his question.

"Is it you? Yuyi..."

Black Zetsu even thought about whether Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, had found this place, but he immediately rejected this idea.

Whether it was the large circular hole in front of him or the huge amount of water filling the bottom of the warehouse, although they far exceeded the limit that humans could achieve, they were still far behind the power of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

The two miracles in front of me have the same results. As long as they can reach the level of Uchiha Madara in fire escape in terms of earth escape and water escape, or the achievements of Senju Hashirama in wood escape, that is, one person can crush five thousand people. A ninja level can do it.

Thinking of this, Hei Ze couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. He said to himself in disbelief: "Could it be that two more super-standard ninjas have appeared in the ninja world?"

"This shouldn't be the case. Why didn't I know?"

With this question in mind, Hei Jue began to clean up the mess.

He first blocked the large vertical hole, then activated the White Zetsu on the bottom floor, letting them walk to the upper floor and hang them up again, and finally sealed the bottom warehouse that was filled with water.

After doing all this, Black Zetsu returned to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, with doubts in his head and conjectures that became more and more frightening as he thought about it, and returned to Uchiha Madara, who could not move at will.

After describing the process of this trip, Black Zetsu couldn't help but ask his question to Madara Uchiha.

"Who on earth made such a grand move and flooded the Bai Zetsu warehouse? How could the ninja world suddenly have two powerful ninjas?"

Although Uchiha Madara was evaluated as "naive" by Black Zetsu, this only meant that he was politically slow, but in terms of combat, ninjutsu and military affairs, Madara was the real expert.

He didn't even need to see it with his own eyes. He could just listen to Black Zetsu's description and combine the local terrain and recent intelligence from White Zetsu to deduce the real facts.

Uchiha Madara looked at Hei Zetsu with an idiot's eyes, and said with hatred: "Hei Zetsu, are you really the product of my will? How can you be so stupid?"

"I'm not familiar with earth escape. I don't know how to dig a circular hole, but the reason for water escape is too simple."

"Hei Zetsu, haven't you ever thought that that water is the result of 5,000 or more ninjas using ninjutsu together?"

"ah?"

"You idiot, the place above that warehouse is Kubota Village! It was you who reported to me the information about a big battle between Konoha and Kirigakure!"

"Of course that water is the effect of the ninjutsu used by Kirigakure to attack Konoha ninjas. That hole must have been dug by Konoha ninjas to release the flood."

Uchiha Madara looked at the stunned Black Zetsu, and he became even more angry. He pointed at Black Zetsu's head with his finger and complained: "How can you be so stupid?"

"Does this make me feel at ease? If I die, can you really carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan on my behalf?"

Hei Jue suddenly woke up. As a thousand-year-old monster, he had naturally developed a thick-skinned temperament and no longer had any sense of shame.

He licked his face and laughed very naturally, and said hehehehe: "I am only a partial evolution of your will. How can I have such wisdom as Master Madara? Your expectations of me are too high."

"The only thing I can do is to diligently and faithfully implement the plan you made!"

Hearing what Black Zetsu said, Uchiha Madara's anger miraculously disappeared, and he even felt relieved and happy.

Hei Jue is just a substitute that he has to use. Being stupid can't be regarded as a shortcoming, but should be regarded as an advantage. As long as he can faithfully execute his plan and help him resurrect in the best condition, everything will be enough.

If you are too smart, the risk of rebellion will be too great.

After all, he, Uchiha Madara, was going to die again.

…

The battle in the southern battlefield of the Western Kingdom of Sichuan was leisurely, and the battlefield in the northwest of the Kingdom of Rain was in full swing. Only the Eastern Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Tang showed no signs of trouble.

With the beginning of the civil war in Kirigakure Village, even the infiltration of single teams or even individual ninjas stopped. However, both sides of the civil war invariably strengthened patrols on the sea and desperately strangled the ninjas from Konoha and Kumogakure.

Neither wanted the weakness of the civil war to be exposed.

But in the eyes of Orochimaru and the Third Raikage, their behavior sent a very dangerous signal. The feeling of "I am holding back my ultimate move" was too strong.

In the Kingdom of Yu, as the mission progresses, the bandits and bandits have been wiped out, and the wandering ninjas and evil churches have also disappeared.

In view of the dangerous performance of Kirigakure, Orochimaru adjusted the focus of the mission to the sea, using garrison and patrol tasks to squeeze Kirigakure's sphere of influence, and using infiltration and infiltration missions to strengthen Kirigakure's intelligence acquisition.

Uchiha Yu resolutely refused infiltration and infiltration missions. Sneaking into Kirigakure Village alone, he would die if he was discovered. It was too dangerous.

He is also very disgusted with patrol tasks. It is tiring and conspicuous. It is easy for others to predict the trajectory of his actions and set traps in advance. The level of danger is still very high.

Yu Uchiha's favorite thing is the task of stationing on the island. He can familiarize himself with the terrain in advance and offset the disadvantages of passive defense by setting traps and building fortifications.

The most important thing is freedom and safety.

As long as there are no large-scale enemy activities, Uchiha Yu and the Tiger Force can arrange their own time and will not be driven away by fixed mission objectives.

If there is a small-scale attack by the enemy, the tiger troops will naturally accept it as a gift. If it is a large-scale Kirigakure ninja, Uchiha Yu will retreat with the tiger troops.

He didn't care about the mission punishment. It was impossible for Konoha Village to execute Konoha ninja just because the mission failed.

The assassination of ANBU ninjas no longer poses a threat to Uchiha Yu. All Danzo Shimura can do is spread rumors and slander Uchiha Yu's reputation.

The rumors are even less scary. In his previous life, he was a police officer, and 90% of his working time was spent comforting retired old ladies in the community.

As far as the level of rumors in Konoha Village is concerned, it is not even the slightest bit worse than the level of rumors spread by the old ladies in the community.

To be honest, spreading rumors and processing rumors are also mental activities, which require time and energy. The villagers of Konoha Village are so busy that they only have enough food and clothing. How can retired old ladies have free time.

Those old ladies have a higher monthly retirement salary than him, are in better health, eat better, have received education above junior high school, and are very knowledgeable.

They gather together all day long and concentrate on creating rumors, spreading rumors, and processing rumors, constantly creating trouble for community workers and area police.

In the last ten years before Uchiha Yuu traveled through time, he was basically tortured by retired old ladies, and developed a super big heart. No matter how scary his words were, he could turn a deaf ear to them.

The rumors that killed Hatake Sakumo in the first place seemed to Uchiha Yuu to have no trouble at all:

"White Fang gave up the mission in order to save his teammates, which caused huge losses to Konoha Village."

Is this a rumor?

Doesn't it count?

This sentence is a simple and straightforward statement. It is neither sensational, nor fascinating, nor close to life. It is not even qualified to be a headline in the UC shock department.

According to Uchiha Yuu's common sense of rumors, more rumors will be spread next, such as:

"White Fang's mistake resulted in the death of 90% of ninjas!"

"The Third Hokage said: I have never seen such a heavy loss in my life!!"

"The authoritative ninja revealed: Because of White Fang's mistake, the price of salt is about to skyrocket!!"

"White Fang's mistakes continue to ferment, and food prices are expected to increase like never before in a century!"

But... nothing.

Just when Uchiha Yuu was wondering why the rumors were brewing for so long, Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.

Only then did Uchiha Yu realize that it was not that rumors were still brewing, but that the highest level of rumors in Konoha Village was like this, plain and without any ripples.

If Danzo uses such rumors to deal with Uchiha Yu, then he will definitely be able to do it calmly, not even the breeze blowing on his face.

It's easy and risk-free, Uchiha Yuu likes this kind of mission the most.

He happily took on a large-scale garrison mission, quickly ran to the sea with the tiger troops, and settled down with peace of mind.

The weather on the sea in early spring is cool, and you can see the sunrise every day. Uchiha Yuu absorbs purple energy on time, absorbs natural energy, polishes his mental power, calms his mind, and immerses himself in cultivation.
