Even in the natural world, a thunderstorm cannot last infinitely. After raging for more than two hours, the clouds and fog finally cleared and the uninhabited island became sunny again.

Miwa Masayo came out from the crevice of the rock where he was hiding, looked at the sky with lingering fear, and after confirming that the last trace of thundercloud had disappeared, he ran cautiously to the top of the mountain.

In the final stage of a thunderstorm, the frequency of lightning decreased. In order to chase more lightning, Uchiha You tried his best to get close to the thundercloud so that he could get his lightning-attributed natural energy line closer to it.

He kept looking for high ground, and walked step by step to the top of the uninhabited island, where he endured the last round of lightning.

Miwa Masayo originally followed her owner out of curiosity, climbing up the mountain step by step. She did so out of concern for Uchiha Yuu, not to listen to her owner's screams and howls.

As for the smirking expression, it was because he heard his owner's loud voice and knew that his life was not in danger, and he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe God really exists in the ninja world, and maybe He was angered by Uchiha Yu's provocation of chasing lightning, so the last round of lightning in the thunderstorm actually exploded.

The lightning that erupted was extremely large, more intense than ever before, and even more in number than the total number of lightning before. The lightning was as dense as a forest, bombarding the mountain from the thunderclouds, and the rumbling thunder exploded, completely connecting into a long-lasting and violent sound.

With unprecedented fierce lightning strikes, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, and the towering thunderclouds collapsed and spread out like a pancake. The range of lightning strikes also expanded as the thunderclouds spread, and the forest of lightning quickly spread to a larger area.

Seeing this doomsday-like scene and the lightning jungle that was spreading like a forest, Miwa Masayo naturally felt the horror of it and was so scared that he rolled and crawled down the mountain.

She knew very well that her speed was not as fast as the lightning jungle, and she could not escape the pursuit of lightning without using fire jump.

So the tabby cat rushed to a crack that it had spotted long ago halfway up the mountain, and using its body as soft as water, it dived into it, thus avoiding the sweep of the lightning forest.

Although she moved very quickly, her tail was still hit by the aftermath of the lightning when she got into the gap, and the tip of her white tail turned into a ball of black curly hair.

The final crazy outburst of the thunderstorm was extremely terrifying, but it also accelerated its own disappearance.

It took only a dozen seconds for the lightning forest to spread across the entire mountain. The dense lightning struck everything above the ground, and then the thunderstorm completely dissipated in just a few seconds.

…

Miwa Masayo jumped on the steaming rocks and soon reached the top of the mountain. He saw Uchiha Yuu from afar.

He did not fall down, but held up his left hand and stood on the highest rock like a pine tree, proudly overcoming the terrible thunderstorm.

The swirling steam always blocked Miwa Masayo's eyes, making it difficult for her to see Uchiha You's appearance, but that kind of heroic spirit that was not afraid of the power of heaven was deeply engraved in the heart of the tabby cat.

She suppressed her excitement and quickened her pace to rush towards her closest Taoist partner.

[Such a grand scene, such a majestic momentum, You must have succeeded. ]

[How should I congratulate him? What should I say?]

The hopping tabby cat quickly approached Uchiha You, but when it got in front of him, the tabby cat's face turned into an embarrassed expression again.

From a distance, Uchiha You looks mighty and domineering with extraordinary temperament, but when you look at him closer, you will find that he is actually very embarrassed.

Uchiha You's entire body was charred, with green and white smoke emanating from his torn clothes. His mouth was slightly open, and puffs of black smoke spewed out with his breathing.

The hair, which the tabby cat loved to play with, had been burnt into a mess, with not much left.

Uchiha You himself was in a state of unconsciousness. It might be because the lightning strike caused his body to stiffen, so this guy was unconscious while standing.

Miwa Masayo quickly laid Uchiha You flat, found some clean water and fed it to him, and stuffed a small dried fish into his mouth.

After doing all this, the tabby cat was so tired that its whole body became limp.

Even if she is a cat fairy, it is really difficult for her to manipulate her 175-pound owner with her petite 8-pound body. The main reason is that her center of gravity is too biased and the leverage effect is too strong, which is much more tiring than knocking down an enemy weighing thousands of pounds.

Fortunately, Uchiha You regained consciousness not long after.

Miwa Masayo was both happy and angry. She pounced in front of Uchiha Yu, raised her right front paw, and used the cat punch to hit his forehead continuously, while yelling non-stop.

"Beat, beat, beat the shit out of you!"

"I told you to take risks, I told you to take risks!"

"Lightning is so scary, and you're still chasing it. Do you think I can't see that, meow?"

The white gloves had chubby little legs, and it didn't hurt Uchiha You at all. Facing the concerned complaints of the tabby cat, he smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"This time it was a bit dangerous. I really should have stopped at the end."

"I was too greedy, always wanting to be perfect, and lacking sufficient respect for the natural world. That's why I almost fell apart in the end..."

"...I won't do that anymore." (That's weird)

Miwa Masayo had been with him for a long time, so she could immediately tell that his last sentence was insincere, but after venting her anger, she was not so angry anymore.

They are immortals, but the path to immortality in the ninja world is obscure and unclear. In order to keep moving forward, taking risks is a matter of course.

Besides, there is no such thing as a risk-free world. The ninjutsu of the ninja world has been developing for thousands of years, and today the ninjutsu system already has five major escape techniques, dozens of bloodline limits, nine tailed beasts, and hundreds of summoning beasts.

What a prosperous and extraordinary system this is. The path of the ninja can be said to be completely clear, but do ninjas no longer need to take risks?

Of course not, the immortals have to fight against the unknown and use their lives to explore the road. The ninjas have a clear path, but there are inevitably too many ninjas walking, so they can only use their lives to compete with other ninjas for the road.

Since Uchiha You survived the adventure and Miwa Masayo has calmed down, she will not be overly harsh on her owner.

But the tabby cat was still a little scared. She asked, "Why did you take such a big risk? That's lightning. If you are really struck by a full-power lightning, even a thousand-year-old tree will turn into ashes in an instant."

Uchiha You said: "It was because of my body's resistance to lightning that I refused to give up the risk in the end. In fact, my body was already very adapted to lightning at that time. Two or three consecutive lightning strikes would not cause any obvious damage."

He smiled bitterly and said, "But I didn't expect the last round of thunderstorms to be so violent. I don't even know how many times I got hit."

"Fortunately, as the number of lightning bolts increased, the power of a single lightning bolt decreased significantly. The power is probably less than one percent of the strongest lightning bolt, so I was not killed directly."

"You deserve it for taking reckless risks, meow."

After Miwa Masayo scolded him, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "You, did you get what you wanted, meow?"

Uchiha Ou replied: "Of course I got it, and there were unexpected gains."

"Look, let me see meow."

Uchiha You smiled, then snapped his fingers seemingly casually, but it exploded like a bolt from the blue.

Without any prelude or accumulation of clouds, he instantly gathered the free natural energy within tens of kilometers, selected the thunder energy and triggered the lightning.

This was when the thunderstorm had just dissipated and the natural lightning energy in the air was extremely scarce. If the surrounding environment was the prelude to the thunderstorm three hours ago, he felt that he could recreate the spectacle of the lightning forest.

Uchiha Yu set the target of the lightning attack as himself, but after the dazzling lightning struck him, it did not cause any harmful reaction, but instead merged silently into his body.

Miwa Masayo was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Amazing!"

After being baptized by the thunderstorm, Uchiha You's body was reborn. In this process, the natural energy of thunder and Uchiha You's body were deeply integrated, giving birth to a new magical power.

Uchiha You can attract lightning from the clear sky, control lightning, be immune to lightning damage, and absorb natural lightning. His magical powers are so comprehensive that he doesn't even know how to name them.

【Thunder Method】, a word without a specific meaning, became the name of the new magical power.

But this is not the biggest gain this time. Uchiha You excitedly told Miwa Masayo: "Lightning is not only a force of destruction, but also a force of rebirth. I am very lucky to have obtained the rebirth power of thunder."

"I have gained two great benefits." Uchiha You raised his right hand, pointed his index finger, and said, "I have gained a very powerful self-healing ability. The healing speed is so fast that you can see it with your naked eyes."

The damage caused by the final explosion of the thunderstorm was far beyond what Miwa Masayo saw. Before Uchiha You lost consciousness, he saw with his own eyes what his body looked like.

Not to mention the cracked skin on the surface of the body and the densely packed lightning blisters, the lightning boiled the body fluids, and the steam tore through the skin and caused wounds, all of which were huge holes that could fit a fist.

As a result, during the time that Miwa Masayo climbed up the mountain, all those hideous and horrible wounds healed. When the tabby cat saw Uchiha You for the first time, he was in a mess but had no life-threatening injuries.

Just after being awakened, during the time when he was talking to Miwa Masayo, the blood scabs on Uchiha You's body kept falling off because his wounds had completely healed.

This speed made Uchiha You realize the strength of his self-healing ability.

He evaluated himself like this: "It's definitely not as good as the First Hokage's level of 'Hashirama never dies in battle', but it's definitely much faster than the healing speed of medical ninjutsu, and the quality of recovery is much better."

"It's probably because of the vitality brought by lightning, coupled with the breakthrough in foundation building, that I have gained such a strong self-healing ability."

He raised his middle finger again and continued, "And I got something even better. The powerful vitality has greatly extended my lifespan. Now I don't know how many years I can live, but a conservative estimate is no less than 300 years."

"Lihua-chan, there is hope for immortality!"

"In addition, I have a very clear feeling that I can maintain my current appearance for a very long time. Maybe even until the end of my life, I can still maintain the appearance of being in my early 18s."

"Hahaha, I've already achieved immortality. Are you envious? Are you jealous?"

Miwa Masayo's eyes sparkled with stars, and she said excitedly, "That's great, I want it too, meow."

"You, please help me attract lightning. I also want to be immune to lightning and live longer!"

Upon hearing his fellow Taoist's request, Uchiha You couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Lihuajiang, you are called the Cat Immortal, but in my immortal system, you are classified as a demon. You have heard me talk about the concept of demon."

"I know, meow. Monsters are originally birds, beasts, rocks, and plants that have no intelligence. They have gained true wisdom due to accidents or training. They are indeed meows."

Perhaps due to the difference in identity and position, as well as the lack of cultural influence, Miwa Masayo does not think that the name "Yao" has any negative connotations.

Uchiha You naturally wouldn't say it out loud, he continued: "This time I experienced the baptism of thunder, and deeply felt the extremely strong and masculine killing power of lightning. I think lightning is very dangerous to monsters with outstanding strengths and weaknesses."

"I'm worried that the lightning will cause great harm to you, and you will be struck to death before you gain the vitality of thunder."

Miwa Masayo was shocked when she heard this. She had already started to back out, but she still felt unwilling to do so. So she asked, "I definitely can't give up such a big benefit. Can we give it a try first?"

The tabby cat spread out its plum-shaped paws and gestured, saying, "Use the smallest lightning. Let me test the quality of the lightning and see if I can withstand it."

"good."

Uchiha You did not hesitate. He pointed with his index finger, and a thin and short lightning appeared out of nowhere and hit Miwa Masayo's tail directly.

"Meow! How can you hit my tail!"

“Wow, why does it hurt so much, meow, meow, meow, meow.”

A lightning bolt as thin as a little finger was enough to make the cat fairy Miwa Yashiro scream in pain. Her muscles twitched involuntarily, and her whole body was filled with electric light. She fell down while meowing.

After experiencing lightning once, she never talked about exercising with lightning again.

…

Miwa Masayo and the others slowly walked down the mountain and returned to the beach to rest.

A few hours later, Uchiha You's body was completely recovered, even his shaved, twisted, charred hair grew back and was fixed at the most suitable length.

After washing his body in the stream near the beach and changing into spare clothes, Uchiha You returned to his previous appearance.

Even Miwa Masayo couldn’t tell now that he had been struck by lightning and lost consciousness, his entire body charred and smoking.

But the tabby cat was unable to recover. It was hurt all over its body from the damage caused by the lightning in the experiment. The tabby cat envied its owner's self-healing ability even more.

She lay on the blanket, watching Uchiha You deal with the giant octopus tentacle, thinking in her heart how to gain the ability to heal herself, which is a magical skill to save her life.

Miwa Masayo pondered for a long time, and even when Uchiha Yu set up the iron plate to grill the octopus tentacles and the aroma of the octopus teppanyaki filled the beach, she still didn't come up with any ideas.

Smelling the tempting aroma, the tabby cat's mind was filled with octopus legs and it could no longer think of anything else.

She suddenly stood up and walked towards the poop scooper, saying to herself as she walked, "I don't want to think about it anymore, meow. I'll leave it to You meow. He has a better brain, meow."

"No, I'm not stupid, meow. It's all You's fault. The octopus legs he made smelled so good that I couldn't concentrate on thinking, so he had to think of a good way to make up for my loss, meow!"

"Just use the fragrant octopus legs. You don't need a lot. Just one piece and I'll forgive him."

Miwa Masayo was easily satisfied, and after taking her first bite of the fried sliced ​​octopus leg, she forgot all her worries and started eating with full concentration.

The octopus legs are delicious. Uchiha You did not add any spices. He only used oil and a little bit of sea salt for seasoning. He simply fried them on the iron plate until both sides were browned. It was already a very tempting delicacy.

The sliced ​​meat is only as thick as a finger. After frying, use a knife to cut it into small pieces, which are just right to eat in one bite. You can experience the soft and chewy texture with a light bite with your teeth, and the burst of freshness is even more intoxicating.

The umami flavor of this high-end ingredient has reached its peak, and the addition of any spices would seem superfluous.

Moreover, octopus meat is not ordinary food, but a special food enriched with the chakra of the tailed beasts.

For the two immortals, the food that can produce enough satisfaction cannot be compared with ordinary food that can only deceive the mouth but cannot satisfy the body.

Of course, from this perspective, the transparent little fish from the River Country are the best food. After all, they are extraordinary creatures with pure natural energy.

The key is that this is a large piece of meat, which is much better than the transparent little fish that can only be ground into powder and mixed with flour to eat. You can take big bites and eat until you are full, which gives you the feeling of a real meal.

To be honest, ever since they embarked on the path to immortality, their bodies' demand for energy has increased greatly, and it has doubled. Eating has become a big problem for the two immortals.

Especially since the cat immortal has achieved a certain degree of immortality, and Uchiha You has also completed two breakthroughs in the foundation-building period. Ordinary food has almost lost its nutritional value, and eating is no longer a pleasure.

Until now, the delicious octopus meat had satisfied all their needs. The man and the cat naturally ate with relish, eating half an octopus leg in one breath before stopping with satisfaction.

Uchiha You couldn't stand up, so he just lay down under the shade of the tree, patted his stomach gently, and hummed with satisfaction: "Comfortable, the feeling of being full is really comfortable..."

Sanlun Yashio's belly was so round from eating so much that he couldn't lie down or lie prone. He could only lie on his side on his owner's chest, letting his breathing move him up and down.

The long-delayed physical needs were now greatly satisfied, and their mood became better.

In the afternoon sea breeze, Uchiha You felt a long-lost sleepiness. He and the tabby cat yawned one after another, and tears came out.

A full stomach, the sea, the sea breeze, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the shade of the trees, with so many elements for a nap, it is natural to have a good rest. Other things can be considered after you wake up.
