I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

This time the glowing object was not a squid or a jellyfish, but a type of phytoplankton.

This kind of algae actually emits purple light during the day, but it is not visible at all under the sun. It can only be clearly displayed at night.

When the Uchiha people were amazed at the wonders in front of them, Uchiha Yu's voice sounded again: "Your prey is here..."

Before he finished speaking, a huge thing suddenly rose from the sea water. Because of the presence of luminous algae, everyone saw the sea water rising as high as a mountain peak, and then quickly falling back, creating a spectacular scene of incomparable brilliance. .

As the water falls, glowing algae cling to the surface, outlining a giant, sucker-filled octopus tentacle.

"This is a giant octopus. You should feel it. It exudes quite strong chakra, and it is also the chakra aura of the eight-tailed beast."

"The task I give you is to hunt this octopus, but I don't allow you to kill it. You can only attack and cut off the two octopus legs that I marked."

Uchiha Yu's words made his brothers stunned. Such a large chakra monster was related to the tailed beasts, so it was absolutely terrifying to hunt it.

How can killing be prohibited?

Before the noise started, Uchiha said calmly: "The leg meat of this octopus... is very delicious. The moist meat slices you guys ate before were made from the octopus legs I cut off and dried in the sun."

The Uchiha's commotion suddenly stopped, and everyone listened intently to the leader's story, eager to stick up and listen to every word.

"This octopus is very powerful, but the most powerful thing is that it has the talent to regenerate severed limbs. I waited for two months until the two octopus legs finally grew back, and then I took you to cut off the octopus legs."

"If you kill it, you won't be able to eat it anymore, why don't you still kill it?"

"If you don't kill, you must not kill!"

"Yes, you can't kill!"

"Also note that except for the octopus legs I marked, the other six legs can be cut, but do not cut them off. The last time I cut them off was too short, and the six legs have not fully grown, and they have no taste. .”

"This time we cut off two mature octopus legs. In another 25 days, we can cut off two more. After that, we will come every 25 days and eat octopus legs continuously."

"We got it!"

Uchiha Yu simply made a seal, and a golden flame shot at the giant octopus at an unimaginable speed. When it was about to hit, the flame split into two, hitting one of the octopus's legs respectively.

The golden flame did not extinguish after hitting it, but spread and burned rapidly, forming a circular flame circle, marking the roots of the octopus's legs.

Uchiha Yu was deeply satisfied with his marking ninjutsu. He waved his hand with a big smile and ordered: "The mark is ready, everyone, come on."

The mark of the flame is not harmless. Under the golden flame, the octopus made a painful buzzing sound, and the seawater shook endlessly.

Amidst the screams of the giant octopus, Hiroto Uchiha cheered, led his team to rush forward, and launched an attack on the giant octopus in a four-four tactical formation.

Uchiha Shigenobu was a step too late and could only take his team to take a detour and attack from the side and rear of the giant octopus, aiming for the other leg of the octopus.

The two teams of ninjas stepped on the sea, and the vibrations of their footsteps stimulated the algae to shine brighter, forming circular rings of light. Many apertures were combined together to outline the route and formation of the ninja team's attack, like two giant iron pincers launching a pincer-shaped offensive against the giant octopus.

This is the basic tactical formation for coordination between the 44th tactical detachment. The two iron pincers can be indifferent or can be switched at any time. The tactics can be changed on the spot, which can make the attacked enemy lose sight of one thing and become confused.

But this is a tactic used to deal with ninja troops under unified command. It is used to attack a giant octopus with nine heads. All tactical changes are meaningless.

Because the nine heads of the octopus are often in conflict with each other, as long as they are not in danger of death, they will act according to their own will and will not be mobilized by changes in tactics.

After a round of fighting with the giant octopus, the Uchiha of the two teams were beaten to a terrible state.

Thanks to the poor mobility and speed of the octopus, as well as the popularity of the Sharingan among the tiger troops, no one was hit or injured during the battle, but the formation was completely broken up.

No, it wasn't that they were separated, but that they spontaneously adjusted the distance between the team members and narrowed the distance between the team based on the size of the damage affected by the attack of the giant octopus's tentacles.

Uchiha Yu was naturally very satisfied. He was able to make correct adjustments to tactics according to the enemy's situation during the battle, which proved that the Tiger Force had begun to mature. They were qualified to recruit new members and use themselves as a template to copy more Tiger Force units. .

[After returning, I told Uchiha Kazuji that he could approve the application for membership of Uchiha family members outside of the study meeting. 】

After adjusting the tactical formation, the Uchiha also gradually became familiar with the attack methods of the giant ninja beasts. It was very easy to deal with this small but powerful attack.

The problem is on the attack side.

Uchiha's main strengths are fire escape, shuriken and taijutsu. They lack the cutting attacks of wind escape and thunder escape. After their attempt to use fire escape to explode the roots of the octopus legs failed, they could only use ninja swords to chop. cutting.

It has to be said that this method of cutting down large trees is really dangerous and incredibly inefficient.

The battle lasted from when the sun had just set to when the full moon was high in the sky. The two legs of the giant octopus were still intact. The roots looked scarred, but in fact, even the thick skin had not been cut open.

The Uchiha who were good at bursting out but not good at protracted battles saw themselves sluggish. Only then did Uchiha Yu pat Miwa Masayo on the head to wake her up.

Uchiha Yu said to the raccoon cat: "It seems that you and I have to take action."

Miwa Masato rubbed his eyes and said listlessly: "Didn't I say that my brothers can handle it? What happened, nya?"

Uchiha Yu explained: "I made a miscalculation. The attack power of my brothers is not bad, but I didn't expect this octopus to have the ability to evolve."

"After we cut off all the legs, the defense of the reborn octopus legs has been greatly increased. The thickness of the skin has increased by at least half."

Masashi Miwa cheered up and looked over, and soon said in surprise: "It has indeed become thicker, and its toughness and elasticity have also become amazing, nya."

"Fortunately, I've made a lot of progress, watch me chop off this leg."

Uchiha Yu pointed and said: "You left me and we went together to catch him off guard, lest the octopus run away when it sees us."

"Okay meow."

Three seconds later, Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masato suddenly jumped out of the water in front of the octopus, and before the octopus could react, they stood on the legs of a scarred octopus.

The giant octopus felt the two most familiar and feared chakras. It was so frightened that its whole body shrank, and its nine brains immediately reached an agreement: escape!

All the tentacles were closely arranged and quickly spliced ​​into a water spray funnel, and then they exerted force at the same time to squeeze out the sea water at high speed. It gained strong reverse thrust, and its huge body suddenly jumped out of the water.

This octopus actually learned from flying fish and chose to fly in the air to escape when facing enemies.

It was larger than a flying fish and had no wings. It continued to squeeze the sea water after leaving the water, and used the recoil to fly hundreds of meters.

It wasn't until all the sea water was sprayed that the giant octopus fell heavily back to the sea.

Then it put its six octopus legs together into a fish tail shape, swayed in unison, and quickly escaped into the deep sea like a huge fat fish.

Yes, before it fell back to the sea, Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masato each cut off an octopus leg, and they were the two strongest ones.

What’s even more surprising is that unlike the previous time when the octopus’ legs were cut off and it became dead, this time its head did not die immediately after its legs were cut off. Instead, its blood vessels were closed and it began its last struggle before death.

This kind of octopus leg with nerve center and thinking ability is much more powerful than the broken gecko tail. It can even escape and attack consciously.

Of course, it is impossible for such an octopus leg to survive alone. After it is separated from the body, the blood will no longer circulate. When the oxygen content drops to a threshold, death will come.

"Pear jam."

"Meow?"

"I'm starting to like this octopus. It evolves very quickly. It can definitely become the best whetstone for the Tiger Force."

"Tell the truth, meow."

"Well, after this octopus evolved, its meat became more delicious."

"If it turns out to be like this, then I'm starting to like it too."

When the sea returned to calm, the sky had turned fish belly white, the brightness of the luminous algae was gradually obscured by the environment, and the magnificent ocean beauty disappeared.

The Uchiha brothers fought with the octopus for 10 hours. Their failure proved that the Tiger Force's tactics, ninjutsu and all skills were quite weak when dealing with giant ninja beasts.

At the same time, the Uchiha's endurance was the biggest problem. Just one hour after the battle began, the Uchiha had no chakra to activate ninjutsu, and even the power of cutting was weakened.

Two hours later, the two teams rationally gave up the idea of ​​cutting off the two octopus legs and worked together to attack one of the legs.

Five hours later, the Uchiha were in despair. Their physical strength had dropped to the point where they were unable to wield the Ninja Sword, and the bleeding from the wounds of the giant octopus on the opposite side had stopped.

In the last hour, the Uchiha brothers actually ran for their lives.

Uchiha Yuu sat on the legs of the octopus that stopped beating, and said earnestly: "Now you know your weaknesses, you lack the method to deal with giant ninja beasts, and you lack the endurance to fight the enemy to the end."

"Even if I didn't prohibit everyone from killing the octopus, you had the idea of ​​​​killing it from the beginning, but there is actually nothing you can do about it."

"The first problem can be easily solved. It's nothing more than learning advanced ninjutsu and equipping yourself with huge weapons for huge bodies."

"There is a solution to the second problem, but it is a stupid solution."

"Practice, practice hard, practice until death!"

None of the Uchiha brothers were standing. They were either floating in the water or lying on stiff octopus legs. Everyone was breathing heavily.

After hearing Uchiha Yu's words, they all raised their right hands, their voices were weak and hoarse, but they said with great determination: "Yes, Brother Yu."

The intuitive feeling brought about by the battle is more convincing than Uchiha Yu's sincere instructions and the most severe corporal punishment. After experiencing a 10-hour fierce battle and being unable to stand until the end, relying on Yuu Uchiha to save his life, the 34 Uchiha members of the Tiger Force recognized the necessity of physical training from the bottom of their hearts.

They had seen that madman in physical training who trained for more than 12 hours a day. At that time, everyone laughed in their hearts that he was a waste. What was the use of practicing like this?

On the battlefield, if a ninjutsu comes over, there will be nothing left.

But now, all the Uchiha who were too weak to stand up thought of Dai. If this guy was here, he would definitely be able to fight to the end alive.

In fact, if the Uchiha had half the physical strength of Matt Dai, they wouldn't need to fight for so long.

Although Uchiha's fire escape is not easy to tear, and his ninja sword is not powerful in slashing, it can break through the defense. In just an hour, the giant octopus was beaten to a pulp, and blue blood was everywhere.

If the initial momentum can be maintained, in four to five hours at most, both legs of the giant octopus will be cut off. The octopus with only six new soft legs will no longer have the ability to fight back and can only run away as before.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha's physical strength can only last for an hour.

The battle with the giant ninja beast is completely different from the battle between ninjas.

The giant ninja beast has a thick-skinned defense that is a hundred times and a thousand times greater than that of a ninja, and a health bar that is so long that it makes a ninja despair. It requires huge destructive power and enough endurance to defeat the giant ninja beast.

To deal with such a giant beast, it is usually the shadow-level ninja who is responsible, or hundreds of ninjas gather together to attack it.

The Uchihas of the Tiger Force showed superior combat power on the battlefield, but that was a reflection of their superiority in tactics and organization. Their hard power did not exceed that of hundreds of ordinary ninjas.

Therefore, when encountering strong individual enemies whose tactical effects are greatly reduced, the lack of hard power becomes apparent.

In the first battle, 300 Kirigakure ninjas were eliminated at the cost of 23 casualties. In the second battle, there were no casualties and more than 3,000 casualties were caused. The young Tiger troops were inevitably proud and couldn't get enough of the training.

But now, this pride has been beaten to pieces, and the Uchiha brother has made up his mind to learn new ninjutsu, exercise his physical strength, work hard to improve his strength, and strive to obtain the three Magatama Sharingan as soon as possible.

After only three hours of rest, the young people's physical strength recovered, and even their frustration and anxiety were completely forgotten.

The young man of the Uchiha family happily picked up his two thick legs, talked and laughed, and walked back with Uchiha Yuu.

Although Uchiha Yuu is also 18 years old, he is not really a teenager at heart. He is amazed by the vitality of his brothers and admires enviously: "It's good to be young."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of paper-thin octopus from the plate in his hand. The transparent fish was as clear as water, creating a sparkling light effect when shaking.

Masato Miwa stretched out her claws and hooked a corner of the fish meat, then licked it with her barbed tongue and sucked it into her mouth. The tender fish meat went directly down the throat into the cat's stomach without stopping.

The whole process was as smooth as silk, giving the civet cat an unparalleled swallowing experience. She narrowed her eyes and meowed happily.

Today, Miwa Masashi can finally eat giant octopus legs raw without any processing. While enjoying the maximum raw taste, he also gets the maximum benefits of the meat.

Uchiha Yuu twisted the next piece, gently rolled it into a meat roll, and then dipped it in the soul dipping sauce. Then he put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The sweet octopus meat and the spicy dipping sauce were mixed together, bringing a rich layer of texture. of taste.

After chewing, it enters the abdomen and turns into a warm current in the stomach, which slowly penetrates into every part of the body and nourishes the cells of the body.

But Uchiha Yu frowned and said regretfully: "The heat is still not enough. It seems that the plan of harvesting every 25 days is not feasible. The taste and nutrients of these octopus legs are different from the last time." few."

Miwa Masato laughed at him and said: "Dream on, those eight legs in the beginning were the result of being infected by the tailed beast chakra for who knows how many years. It has only been two months since I got this feeling, which is enough for me."

Indeed, this method of regular harvesting can produce giant octopus that is almost the same as farmed ones. It is already very good to have the current taste.

Uchiha Nobushige and Uchiha Hiroto were both knocked down after taking one bite of this raw, uncooked seafood. Their digestive systems could not withstand the energy in the fish, causing their noses to bleed as if they had eaten raw ginseng. , hot and sweating, dizziness and dizziness.

He even had strange hallucinations, just like eating Shannan mushrooms. Two powerful ninjas with two Magatama Sharingan fought like drunkards on the sea with non-existent enemies.

Until now, these two unlucky guys have not gotten rid of the hallucination. They can only tie them tightly into rice dumplings and throw them into the legs of the octopus carried by their team members.

Therefore, if the quality of octopus meat reaches this level, it is enough. If we want to improve the quality, the output of the meat will be disappointing.

Uchiha Yuu smacked his lips and nodded in agreement with the civet cat's statement.

After quickly sharing all the fish meat with Miwa Masashi, Uchiha Yu suddenly missed the taste of takoyaki, so he threw away the tray, turned to his brothers and shouted: "Speed ​​up! I'll make octopus meat for you when you get back. !”

But the Uchihas all looked at the two captains twisting around on the octopus legs in unison, and they collectively pulled their heads back.

The Uchiha asked: "Brother Yu, tell the truth, is this meat really edible?"

Uchiha Yu suppressed his laughter and replied seriously: "Of course I can eat it!"

"Do you still remember the large pieces of fish meat I gave you when you first came to the Country of Yu? That was the meat of octopus legs."

The Uchiha couldn't help but exclaimed. Thinking back to the delicious food they tasted at that time, everyone's legs inexplicably gained a lot of strength, and they moved faster and faster.
