Uchiha You created three shadow clones, one to perform patrol and the other to keep watch, while he himself sprawled out and fell asleep under the shade of a tree.

After a fierce but short battle and a huge storm, no ninja came to investigate for several hours, which meant that there were no ninjas active in the nearby waters.

Based on Uchiha Yu's understanding of the various ninja villages, no powerful ninjas from any ninja village would appear within at least 12 hours.

As for those wandering ninjas with free identities, their strength is usually very weak, there are basically no masters around, and they will not pose a threat to him.

The only exception is the bounty hunter Kakuzu, but this guy is obsessed with money, and in order to avoid waste, he will never hunt ninjas without a bounty. Uchiha Yuu, who has no bounty, will not have any intersection with Kakuzu, so after he has done basic vigilance, he fell asleep with peace of mind.

In a dark sleep, Uchiha You woke up unknowingly, but he immediately realized that he was having a "lucid dream", that is, the kind of dream where one clearly knows that he is dreaming but cannot wake up.

Uchiha You was not panicked because he knew that lucid dreams were a normal phenomenon. People were more likely to have such dreams when they were extremely tired physically but excited mentally.

This morning he experienced a baptism of thunder, his body jumping back and forth between destruction and creation. Although he recovered in the end, the accumulated fatigue was very terrifying.

At the same time, the successful breakthrough in the new stage of foundation building brought a complex emotion of joy, excitement and uneasiness, which made Uchiha You fall into an abnormal state of excitement. It was not until he was full and drunk that he felt irresistible fatigue.

Uchiha You in this state just meets the conditions for having a lucid dream.

After Uchiha You confirmed the situation, he laughed happily. Being able to have such a dream at this time really meant that his luck was unstoppable.

The owner of a lucid dream can think normally, be self-centered, and do whatever he wants.

Of course, if what you want to do is something in reality, it must be a fantasy and in the end it is just a dream.

But if what you want to do is spiritual, then it is absolutely true.

The advantages of lucid dreaming are not just that, because thinking has no time, as long as the dreamer does not fall asleep in the dream, he can stay in the dream and do whatever he wants. No matter how much time he spends in the dream, even thousands of years, when he wakes up, only a moment has passed in reality.

The only problem is that lucid dreams, like epiphanies, can only be encountered by chance.

Since he was lucky enough to encounter it today, if he couldn't seize the God-given opportunity to resolve his spiritual problems, he, Uchiha You, would be the biggest fool in the world.

It has to be said that Uchiha You is now making relatively smooth progress on the path of cultivating immortals, but only he himself knows how many hidden dangers and unknown secrets are buried in his spiritual world.

After this breakthrough, many hidden dangers began to surface.

For example, Uchiha Yu's fourth heart form appeared in the spiritual world shortly after the breakthrough, but it has not yet taken shape until now.

There was certainly something wrong, but he didn't know what caused it.

Perhaps it was the existence of the alien monster Xiao Ke that disturbed his spiritual world.

It is also possible that the natural energy of thunder is too active, affecting the stability of the heart shape.

It is also possible that he himself is unclear about Lei's positioning. After all, the heart shape is a manifestation of his soul. When his inner heart is full of contradictions, the heart shape will naturally be affected.

In short, the power of the fourth heart shape continues to grow, but like a shapeshifting monster, its appearance keeps changing and it cannot stabilize.

This situation has no effect for the time being, but if it is allowed to develop, it will definitely affect the balance between the heart shapes, and then develop to affect the balance between various natural energies, causing the most terrible crisis at some point and leading to Uchiha You's death.

Just as he was entering a lucid dream, he had unlimited time to examine his inner self bit by bit, resolve the cognitive contradictions between the thunder element and the wood element, and perfect his positioning of the fourth heart shape.

Yes, Uchiha You already understood that the problem lies with himself. Even though he has confirmed that the five elements do not exist in the ninja world, his traditional understanding of the wood element continues to interfere with his judgment of the thunder element.

This is a standard hindrance to knowledge and understanding.

There have been similar problems between the Wind and Metal elements before, but the natural energy of Wind in the Ninja world is quite similar to the nature of Metal in the traditional Five Elements, both of which have the characteristics of sharpness, murderousness, cleanliness, and calming.

The difference between the two is also easy to understand. Metal is restrained and calm, while wind is agile and changeable.

With the help of similarities and clearly distinguished differences, Uchiha You vaguely recognized that the wind element replaced the metal element and created the third heart shape朏朏 in the spiritual world.

But is there anything in common between the Wood Element and the Thunder Element?

If you insist that there is, both represent vitality to a certain extent, but the vitality of the wood element and the vitality of thunder are completely different things.

Therefore, Uchiha You is completely unable to accept that the Thunder Element replaces and occupies the position of the Wood Element, and therefore the corresponding fourth heart shape cannot be finalized.

After an unknown amount of time spent sorting out the issues, Uchiha You finally found the problem, and he felt much more relaxed.

It's good to be able to find the problem. The worst thing is not knowing where the problem is. That means you have no place to put your energy. Once you have found the problem, no matter how difficult it is, you can always find a way to solve it.

And the solution is also very simple. Completely abandon the Five Elements Theory and rebuild the natural energy attribute theory of the ninja world. According to this new cognition, construct your own understanding of power, thereby determining the image of the fourth heart shape and completing the last step of the third breakthrough in the foundation-building period.

In a lucid dream, Uchiha You began to hypnotize himself without using the Sharingan's illusions, because illusions target the physical body, and the physical body is the real part, and it would be useless to change it in a dream.

What can be changed in a dream are the mind, memory and knowledge, so the way he chose to hypnotize himself was to study and research. Through these two extremely painful tools of mind reshaping, he gradually wore away his superstition about the Five Elements Theory.

Yes, it's superstition.

In some spiritual worlds, the Five Elements Theory is a metaphysical truth. On the Blue Planet in the Dharma Ending Age, the Five Elements Theory is superstition. In the chakra-filled Ninja World, the Five Elements Theory is also superstition.

What can accurately explain the world is truth, otherwise it is superstition.

Uchiha You tortured himself through repeated learning, and slowly reshaped the worldview of the five elements as a superstition in the ninja world.

After a long period of study, he redefined the five attributes of natural energy in the ninja world and confirmed the relationship between them that was cyclical and mutually restraining but not cyclical and mutually generating.

Since he reshaped the worldview, the properties of natural energy have had a new name - Five Elements Natural Energy.

Although it only exists in Uchiha You's mind now, as the pioneer of the entire system, as his strength grows, his worldview will eventually cover the worldview of all the immortals in the ninja world.

Uchiha You didn't know how long he had been studying in his lucid dream. He was already extremely tired. The eyelids in his eyes were as heavy as the Taihang Mountains and the Wangwu Mountains. His willpower was no longer enough to support him.

If he hadn't been in a dream, this level of exhaustion would definitely have killed him.

Uchiha You knew that he was unable to complete the next task, but he was already very satisfied to have successfully reshaped his three views.

He thought he knew how difficult it was to reshape his worldview, but now he finally understood.

If it is not done in a lucid dream, slowly polishing it over an unknown long period of time, then it can only be done by completely shattering the three views and then reshaping them.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one’s nature.

A person's three views can be completely equated with his nature, and what is needed to destroy them is true power.

Advanced civilizations can do it, just like the Lighthouse inherited the essence of capitalism, sucked the essence of the Blue Star for a hundred years, and finally built a highland of civilization. I don't know how many rabbits' three views were shattered by it.

The power of the thoughts of saints can do this. The spread of the thoughts of the saints throughout the ages is a process of reshaping the three views on a large scale.

Finally, the power of fate can also do it. There are always some weak people with delicate and fragile emotions in the world. When faced with the tragic fate of separation from life and death, their three views will be shattered.

In other words, the Uchiha family is full of spiritual weaklings, and there are endless guys who turn evil and collapse, but because of their collapse, their bloodline has given them powerful strength.

[No wonder the Second Hokage believed that the Uchiha family's bloodline was evil.]

Uchiha You fell into a near coma in a lucid dream.

When he woke up in reality, the first thought that came to his mind was criticism of his own family, which made him deeply depressed.

[What Senju Tobirama said makes sense, but the Uchiha who was accused of this prophecy is a sinner born with original sin. This is intolerable.]

[I am Uchiha, even if it is from the perspective of the butt, I must overturn what Tobirama said. ]

But Uchiha You thought of Madara, Obito, Itachi, Setsuna, Shifang and others, and couldn't help scratching his head and sighing: "The road ahead is long and arduous."

"What's the long way to go, meow?"

Miwa Masayo also woke up. She stretched her body and asked lazily.

Uchiha You didn't want to discuss this topic with her, so he said: "Nothing, it's almost time, let's go watch the sunrise."

"I saw it yesterday, meow."

"Then I will teach you a method of practicing while watching the sunrise."

"Okay meow."

Miwa Masayo's confusion was swept away, and he jumped onto Uchiha You's shoulder with great interest and asked hurriedly: "What is the training method, meow?"

"It is the purple energy of the morning sun."

"I don't understand, meow."

"In the split second before the sun rises, there will be a spectacle of purple air rising between heaven and earth. At that time, if you mobilize your strength, open your mouth and inhale vigorously, you will be able to absorb a trace of purple air."

"It's so magical, what's the benefit of it, meow?"

"Can it make me run faster meow? Can it make me live longer meow? Can it make me immortal meow?"

"……have no idea."

"Meow?"

Uchiha You shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The morning sun purple energy is too weak, and I absorb very little each time. I don't know what the specific effect will be."

Miwa Masayo suddenly realized and said, "It's your intuition that tells you this is a good thing, meow. You're intuition is trustworthy. If we absorb the purple energy together, won't it interfere with each other, meow?"

"I don't know either, we can give it a try."

"Good meow."

For more than a month after that, nothing happened to Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu.

They get up every morning to breathe in the purple air of the morning sun and admire the sunrise. They exercise in the morning, enjoy a seafood dinner at noon, and practice immortal arts in the afternoon.

At night, Uchiha You would sometimes develop forbidden techniques, and sometimes he would recall the inspiration he had gained when teaching the Genin in the study group.

Miwa Masayo would try to absorb the moonlight at night, because in the story of Uchiha Yu, the demon race could rely on the moonlight to awaken the bloodline of their ancestors and become extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, all her attempts failed, and it was proven that this was yet another fairy tale that should be attributed to superstition.

…

Just as they were enjoying their regular and leisurely life in seclusion, the Hidden Mist Village, which had hastily declared war but had not taken any actual action, finally began to mobilize.

The Hidden Mist Village is mainly composed of ninjas expelled from the Land of Fire. This scattered ninja village where losers huddle together for warmth has an inherent defect that makes it difficult to centralize power.

The Hidden Mist Village did not perform badly in the two developments of the Ninja World. This was because the First and Second Mizukage were strong enough to suppress the various ninja clans with their personal strength and cover up the village's shortcomings with their personal prestige.

However, the successor, the Third Mizukage, did not have enough power and prestige, and the shortcomings of the Hidden Mist Village were completely exposed. After they declared war on the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire in October, they began arguing about who to attack and where.

None of the powerful ninja clans could convince each other, and if the Third Mizukage wanted to express his opinion, he would be collectively resisted by the ninja clan. The Hidden Mist Village was in turmoil until the end of the year, and finally, under the coordination of the Master, they reached a preliminary consensus.

Attack the Fire Nation.

During the decision-making process, the Third Mizukage was tacitly ignored by the ninja clans, including the Snow Clan. They deliberately wanted to make the Mizukage lose his prestige.

After two generations of powerful Mizukage's rule, they were fed up with sacrifices. The elite ninjas that their family had trained at great cost obeyed the Mizukage's orders and died on the battlefield. It was too much of a loss.

Why didn't the ninjas from other families die?

The performance of the Hidden Mist Village in the past two wars gave the ninja clan an illusion. They thought that without the Mizukage, they would be able to perform better in the war, achieve greater victory, and sacrifice fewer ninjas.

What Mizukage can do, we can do too. No, we can do better!

The Third Mizukage actually felt the same way. He was very troubled by this and worried that after these big families gained more merits in the war, the Hidden Mist Village might be torn apart.

He said to the Master worriedly: "The Kaguya family, the Kizuna family, and the Snow Clan all have their own ideas. If we don't weaken them, the future of the Hidden Mist Village will be divided."

"Third generation, you should know that the Second Generation Mizukage has already made a plan to train civilian ninjas through ninja schools to balance the power of the three major bloodline limit ninja clans. Do you have new ideas now?"

"Master Yuanshi, I know that the ninja school of Konoha Village is very successful, but our Kirigakure is different."

“We don’t have that much money!”

As an island country, the economy of the Water Country ranks last among the five major countries, and is even not as rich as the Wind Country. Therefore, the support that the daimyo can provide to the Hidden Mist Village is very weak.

If the national economy is poor, business will not prosper, and the number of tasks that the Hidden Mist Village can accept will be very small, and there will be no money to invest in education.

"There are only fifty Genin every year, and this year there is only one, Zabuza. The best among them are ninjas from the ninja clan. When will we be able to reach the goal of the second generation?"

"It turns out that the Hidden Mist Village cannot follow the path of the Hidden Leaf Village. We need new ideas."

"Third Mizukage, you have also seen the adverse effects of the Blood Mist Village on the Ninja School. We finally ended this policy after the Zabuza incident. Do you want to implement it on a larger scale?"

"Yes, the new Blood Mist Village policy will target the three major bloodline limit ninja clans, focusing on weakening their power and paving the way for the rise of small ninja clans such as the Terumi family and the Hoshigaki family."

The Master had no way to refute the Third Mizukage. The damage caused by the three major ninja clans to the Hidden Mist Village was too strong, and almost everyone knew that they had to be weakened.

In fact, the second Mizukage was from the Kizuki family, and the third Mizukage was from the Snow clan, but after they became Mizukage, they both focused on weakening the major ninja clans, including their own families.

This shows that the elites within the three major ninja clans also have such an understanding, but their respective positions are different, and their butts replace their brains to determine different policies for their individuals.

The Master finally agreed with the Third Mizukage's plan. The unique process of building the Hidden Mist Village made it impossible for him to foresee that once the killing began, it would be impossible to stop, at least ordinary people could not do it.

But there was someone who had witnessed the killing and was able to foresee it. After the Master left, he appeared in the Mizukage's office, but the dignified Mizukage actually turned a blind eye to him.

He looked at the departing Master and said softly, "Let's start the killing from the Hidden Mist Village. By destroying the three bloodline limit ninja clans, I can better control the Hidden Mist Village and release enough strong rebel ninjas to the ninja world to create greater chaos."

"First, destroy the ninja village order created by Hashirama and weaken the five major ninja villages. Only then can we seize the tailed beasts from them, revive the Ten-Tails, implement the Infinite Moon Reading Plan, and... save the ninja world."

Cough cough cough——

Suddenly, he started coughing, and his coughing became more and more intense until he bent over and coughed up specks of blood. Then he stopped with heavy breathing.

A dark figure rose from the floor and asked with concern, "Master Madara, you are getting weaker and weaker. You must return to the base as soon as possible."

"I know! But I can't go back now!" Uchiha Madara panted and said with difficulty: "If I go back, I will never be able to leave, so I must perform the deepest hypnosis on the Three-Tails before I go back."

"Only by being well prepared can my successor control the Jinchuriki and continue the destruction of the Hidden Mist Village."

"Have you found the location of the three tails?"

"It has been found."

"Come on, let's finish this step, then we'll go back to base and wait for my heir."

"Please follow me."
