After returning to the camp and dealing with things, Uchiha You was waiting for the results of Konoha Village's handling. During a long period of meditation, he realized his own problem and then remembered Xiao Ke who was stuffed into his spiritual world.
When he was immersed in the depths of his soul, Uchiha You was stunned.
In his spiritual world, Xiao Ke, the spiritual monster, changed his appearance and became a strange land-walking octopus. Each of the eight tentacles of this octopus monster had an eye, while its big head was empty and covered with holes of various sizes. These holes were even interconnected, making the octopus head look like a net bag.
Because it was in his own spiritual world, without the obstruction of the spiritual barrier, Xiao Ke's whispering was more powerful. Uchiha You felt confused and dizzy as soon as he entered.
He was like this when he just came in. The three heart shapes that were originally confronting each other in the spiritual world spent more time with Xiao Ke, so they were naturally more affected.
Except for Lung Raccoon 朏朏, which was in a relatively good condition, the Heart Monkey Golden Monkey and Spleen Pig Dang Kang had both swelled up and fell into an extremely bad abnormal state.
The monkey showed laziness like never before. The gigantic monkey looked like a sloth and every movement was so slow.
The spleen pig was dominated by utter greed, its belly swollen until it was bigger than its torso. The spleen pig, unable to move, was gnawing on its own front legs with relish.
Seeing this distorted scene of the Ke system, Uchiha You took a deep breath. It was indeed an unthoughtful and adventurous act to stuff Xiao Ke into his own spiritual world.
The existence of the mental monster not only disrupted the original balance of the three hearts, but also brought about terrifying distortions and pollution. I don't know whether the sound of my meditation bell can eliminate the consequences of this influence.
Faced with a messy spiritual world, Uchiha You could only summon up natural energy, vibrate his dantian to send out shock waves like a huge bell, and clear his inner demons bit by bit.
Under the suppression of the Dantian bell, the three heart-shaped creatures gradually returned to normal, changing from their weird and strange appearances to cute again, and all kinds of suspicious hair and flesh fell to the ground.
The spiritual world was digesting the fallen heart-shaped hair and flesh as usual, and Uchiha You immediately felt a certain excitement.
The new mental power seemed to be mixed with some "impurities", or perhaps some kind of purest spiritual thought, which made Uchiha You's mind unable to calm down and he could hardly control all kinds of instinctive impulses.
As a cultivator, what he pursues is the advancement of the level of life. Before reaching the other side, the body is the foundation for him to survive all disasters. Uncontrollable changes in the body are a sign of danger that cannot be ignored.
He carefully sensed the changes in himself and tried to analyze the source of his instinctive impulse.
Soon Uchiha You ruled out the possibility of abnormalities in the body's endocrine system, hormones, natural energy and chakra, and turned his target to Xiao Ke in the spiritual world.
The madness and distortion emitted by Xiao Ke were absorbed and transformed by the heart shape, and finally purified in the spiritual world, becoming pure spiritual power. However, no matter how powerful the purification is, it can only remove harmful parts. The extreme desire for survival is the most basic instinct of life and it is impossible to remove it.
There were only benefits and no harm in Uchiha You absorbing such spiritual power. Such a pure desire for survival was integrated into Uchiha You's spirit, greatly revitalizing the source of his life.
As for instinctive impulses, they are nothing more than the desire to reproduce that naturally arises after the basic safety of life is guaranteed, and they can be restrained.
If it doesn't work, you can divert your attention.
The simplest way is to carry out extreme training, consume your physical strength to the limit, put the body in a state of energy deficiency, and the urge to reproduce will naturally disappear.
Uchiha You shook his head. If he was in Konoha Village or on vacation, he could naturally use this method, but now he was in the frontline camp in the Land of Hot Springs. The threats from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Leaf Village could lead to a fight at any time and anywhere. He absolutely could not be in a weak state, otherwise it would be a way to death.
Is the only way to divert attention or to just endure it?
Uchiha You sighed, "Preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires." Behaviors that go against human nature never have a good ending.
Suddenly, an idea flashed upon him. The legendary ascetics had a sect that strictly observed the precepts and rules. How did they solve the problem of instinctive impulses in endless time?
Refining essence into qi.
Ah~~~~, this sentence represents the first step in cultivating immortals, which is to restrain the loss of body's essence and transform it into extraordinary energy. As long as you embark on the path of cultivation, you can freely control your body's desires.
Unfortunately, this is an orthodox Taoist cultivation method, and Uchiha Youta... doesn't know how to do it.
But the same thing applies: if you don’t know how to do it, learn it; if you can’t learn it, create it yourself; as long as the direction is correct, there is no reason why you cannot succeed.
What Uchiha You followed was not some immortal law, but the Taoist law. The Taoist law seeks the Tao, and when the Tao is achieved, there will naturally be laws, and when the laws are achieved, there will naturally be techniques.
How to seek the truth?
Live a good life, observe carefully in your daily life, and when the world changes, discover and study the changes in time, and then you will naturally gain enlightenment.
It sounds similar to scientific research, and in fact it is the same thing.
Practitioners who recite Taoist scriptures over and over again and adhere to Taoist precepts and dare not transgress them are like those guys who regard current scientific achievements as golden classics and denounce all inconsistent phenomena as unscientific. The final result can only be nothing.
Therefore, Uchiha You did not care about the abnormalities brought by Xiao Ke, and continued his normal training life and interacted with Miwa Masayo.
His biggest change was that he stopped his daily physical training and used this time to study the impact of Xiao Ke on his spiritual world and his heart shape.
While sleeping, Uchiha Yuu studied the operating rules of his body, looking for the focus of refining essence into energy.
No one noticed anything unusual about Uchiha You, but Miwa Masayo, who was with him day and night, naturally discovered it.
She really likes her owner who suddenly becomes silly.
Everyday reminders of things that Uchiha Yu had forgotten gave Miwa Masayo a strong sense of accomplishment, and he felt that his intelligence had improved by leaps and bounds.
Even though she knew it was an illusion, it felt really good.
Today, Uchiha You waited for the village's final conclusion. The Third Hokage used the rules to reasonably embezzle his expected vacation, mission records, and mission bonuses. Naturally, he was no longer polite.
Uchiha You stood up and said to Miwa Masayo: "Let's go. If the Third Hokage doesn't give me a vacation, I will go on a vacation mission."
"There's actually such a good mission? Won't someone else grab it first, meow?"
"Some missions may seem like hellish torture to others, but in my eyes they are a vacation worth enjoying, because you and I are stronger than them."
"In the ninja world, as long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want!"
The front-line camp of the ninja army in Konoha Village is completely different from the military camps in the previous life. There are no solemn guards and patrols, nor are there strict military appearance and discipline.
Because four to five thousand ninjas were concentrated in a small area, there seemed to be more ninjas in the center of the camp than in the village. They came and went in groups of three or five, chatting with each other in a lively manner, and the most prominent feature was their freedom.
Uchiha You walked through the crowded group of ninjas. As a recent celebrity, all the ninjas he knew and didn't know recognized him and either nodded or extended their hands to greet him.
He naturally responded to everyone's kindness one by one. Being polite was a habit ingrained in him from his previous life, and there was no need to make enemies for himself over trivial matters.
Not everyone expressed goodwill. Some ninjas inadvertently showed hostility when they saw Uchiha You.
Although they dodged quickly enough, Uchiha You saw them very clearly and remembered each of their names by following their faces.
[It turns out that they are ninjas from the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family, so this is not surprising. ]
He didn't take these things to heart. He entered the mission center and quickly found the mission he had been eyeing for a long time. He directly took down the mission sign.
The administrative ninja recognized him, looked at the Chunin vest on him, and said, "Master Uchiha Yuu, this mission requires a Jonin, and you are not yet a ..."
Uchiha You immediately interrupted him and explained, "Senior, if you know me, you will know that I was commended by the Third Hokage. There is absolutely no problem with my strength."
“That’s not what I said…”
Uchiha You opened his Sharingan, pointed with his finger and said: "Look, look, I am the Uchiha who has awakened the three-magatama Sharingan. This is the unique power of the elite jonin. You should treat me as a jonin."
"It may be stipulated that..."
Uchiha You closed his Sharingan, took out a commendation letter from his arms and showed it to the administrative ninja: "Look, this is a commendation letter issued by the Third Hokage."
"The Third Hokage said in person that I will be promoted to a jonin soon. I am considered a quasi-jonin. My current rank may be half a level higher than a special jonin."
“…”
"Please be flexible."
Uchiha You's brain isn't working very well now, but his tongue, which he has trained over the years with the old man and the old woman, has not been damaged, and his ability to make trouble, throw tantrums and make excuses has not been diminished at all.
He bombarded him with a series of reasons, which soon confused the thirty-something administrative ninja.
The administrative ninja fell into the trap of rhetoric and could no longer understand the logic in Uchiha Yu's words. He was persuaded by him dizzily and signed the task without realizing it and handed over the task book.
Uchiha You immediately held the other's hands, shook them up and down excitedly, and thanked him repeatedly: "Senior! Thank you for your trust and for entrusting me with this important task!"
"I will definitely not let you down, I will not let down the Hokage's commendation, I will not let down the hopes of the 200,000 villagers of Konoha Village, and I will resolutely complete this arduous task!"
Then he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
The man had disappeared, and the last half of his words were still echoing in the air: "Please wait for my good news... wait..."
The dazed administrative ninja was stunned for a long time before he was awakened by a burst of laughter. The man in his thirties was embarrassed and blushed.
The laughter even alarmed the new commander not far away, and Orochimaru walked over leisurely.
Orochimaru has a cold aura around him, and no one would smile in front of him. When he appeared in the mission center, the laughter disappeared completely in an instant, and the center fell into absolute silence.
Orochimaru licked his cheek with his tongue, scanned all the people present, and looked at a middle-aged ninja in his forties and asked, "Although the discipline of the ninja army is very general, such a loud noise is really too much. Tell me, what happened here?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's report, Orochimaru said calmly: "Oh, it turns out to be Uchiha Yu, the youngest of the Uchiha family to have three magatama Sharingan."
"Show me the mission he received."
"yes!"
After quickly reading the mission stub, Orochimaru returned the information and left the mission center without saying anything.
Soon the mission center returned to normal, but the influence of Orochimaru's presence could not disappear for a long time. Everyone subconsciously lowered their voices when speaking, as if they were whispering.
After leaving the ninjas' sight, a meaningful smile appeared on Orochimaru's face. He looked up to the southwest, which is the direction of Konoha Village.
…
Miwa Masayo leaned on Uchiha Yu's shoulder and read the task book over and over again, but couldn't figure out how this task was a vacation task.
The tabby cat asked Uchiha You about this question.
Uchiha You flipped open the pages of the mission book, pointed to the detailed items and said, "The detailed regulations here are the real vacation."
"The patrol area is the waters of the Tangshan Peninsula on the east side of the Tang Kingdom."
"Monitor the activities of the Kirigakure ninjas at sea within the patrol range."
"Hunting Kirigakure ninjas, and giving warnings if encountering large groups of enemies."
"The Tangshan Peninsula waters are a huge area, with a coastline of over 400 kilometers!"
Miwa Masayo asked in surprise: "Such a large area, running around every day must be exhausting, no wonder the jonin are unwilling to accept this mission, where do you find time to rest?"
Uchiha You put his fingers together and crossed them to make seals. His chakra suddenly split into a large piece, and another self appeared in a puff of white smoke.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Miwa Masayo praised in amazement, "You finally mastered this technique. It's really not easy."
Uchiha You sighed with lingering fear: "Who would have thought that my special chakra operation state would cause such a big trouble in this ninjutsu."
"Before I got the scroll, I really didn't think that the shadow clone technique was to use oneself as a template, copy the shadow clone's chakra circulation system, and naturally replicate one's own physical clone."
"When others use the Shadow Clone Technique, the problem is that they don't have enough chakra to fill the structure of the technique. My problem is that there is no chakra in my meridians. I can only draw the chakra flow path myself."
"However, no matter how difficult the Shadow Clone Technique is, it is still simpler than the Warring States Period Ninjutsu I have mastered. Moreover, with this technique, I can use the Shadow Clone to patrol the entire sea area, and I can find a suitable island to rest in peace."
"I've got the grill, spices, tea, and wine ready, so let's go now!"
"That's great, meow."
The man and the cat received the mission letter, and excitedly took their luggage that had been packed long ago, left the Konoha Ninja Army camp, and ran all the way to the southeast.
By the afternoon, they had arrived at the Tangshan Peninsula of Tang Country and set out to sea from the easternmost point of the entire Tang Country.
They were so anxious that they didn't even bother to look for a boat. They simply ran across the sea using the skill of walking on water and arrived directly at an uninhabited island marked on the map.
By this time it was completely dark. Uchiha You found the beach in the harbor, gathered firewood and lit a bonfire. He made a hole in the coconuts he had collected and threw them into the fire. Then he and Miwa Masayo sat by the bonfire and breathed a sigh of relief.
Until this moment, he felt that he was free from the ties of Konoha and no longer needed to carefully suppress natural energy while extracting chakra from his body cells and deliberately disguising the flow of chakra.
In the ninja camp where Byakugan surveillance cameras were everywhere, if he didn't disguise himself, he would definitely be discovered by the Hyuga family's X-ray eyes.
The ninja profession has high offense and low defense. Under the threat of high mortality rate, the ninja's vigilance and alertness can be described as pathological.
The ninjas of the Hyuga family will never let go of any flaws revealed by Uchiha Yu, and they will report any abnormal situation to the commander as soon as possible.
The commander who has just been replaced is "Cold Lord" Orochimaru. This Kage-level ninja, who is known for his suspicion, cruelty, meticulousness and calmness, is the person in the current ninja world who is most likely to see through his secrets.
Uchiha You didn't want to appear in Orochimaru's sight. Even though he was just beginning to become famous, he hoped that this guy would not take him too seriously.
Otherwise, many things will be difficult to handle in the future.
Being able to leave the mainland of Hot Spring Country where the density of Byakugan is extremely high and come to an uninhabited island where no one will monitor him, Uchiha You just felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
He stretched out his body, lay back on the sand, and said comfortably, "It's so comfortable."
…
However, Uchiha You's idea was doomed to fail. He had been a low-level police officer for twenty years in his previous life, and in this life he was still hanging around in the low-level ninja circle. He simply did not have the vision and thinking habits of a high-level person.
He had no idea that what he had done in the Uchiha family was more dazzling than the sun at noon in the eyes of Orochimaru, who had been educated by the Hokage since childhood and regarded himself as the successor of the Hokage.
His concealment of his personal strength could not prevent the gaze of Orochimaru from coming at him, as the two of them were focusing on completely different areas.
Orochimaru had a very sharp vision. He valued Uchiha You because of his political wisdom. As he observed you for a longer time, he soon discovered the abnormality in Uchiha You's strength, and began to trace his past battle records.
Just as Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo were sharing the hot and sweet coconut juice, Orochimaru found the body that Uchiha Yu had killed ten days ago and began the most detailed autopsy.
As these foul-smelling corpses were peeled off layer by layer, Orochimaru's eyes became brighter and brighter.
