The frown on the staff officer Nara Shikaku's brows was so tight that they could hold five taels of copper coins. Orochimaru's question also puzzled him deeply. He racked his brains to think about it but got no results at all.

Finally, he shook his head and replied, "Lord Orochimaru, there is nothing special on this uninhabited island. The only things that are useful to the Kirigakure Fleet are fresh water and wood."

Orochimaru said, "That's not right. There hasn't been a storm on the sea recently. Even if the Kirigakure Fleet suffered any losses, it would only be a few ships catching fire or running aground. The amount of fresh water and wood they could obtain wouldn't be that much. They definitely don't need to stay for two days."

His golden snake eyes looked towards the east, towards the sea area of ​​​​Tangshan Peninsula on the east side of Tang Country, his heart was full of doubts: What exactly is there?

Orochimaru certainly knew that it was Uchiha Yu's patrol area, and it was also there that he discovered the information about the Kirigakure fleet, but Orochimaru had no reason to link Yu, who had already returned to the Konoha Ninja Army camp, with the abnormal detention of the Kirigakure fleet.

Even Orochimaru didn't have the ability to keep the Kirigakure fleet for two days, so it was certainly impossible for the mere 18-year-old Uchiha Yu to do it.

This is common sense.

But facts are never reasonable. The detention of the Kirigakure fleet was indeed caused by Uchiha You, and Uchiha You didn't know that he had caused such a big thing.

…

Kaguya Ren, one of the top ninjas of the Kaguya family and one of the strongest awakeners of the Bloodline Limit Shikotsu. Under the influence of the Bloodline Limit, he has an extremely bad temper.

But even he had no doubt about the fleet's stay for two days. The scene on the island was too horrifying.

The once lush mountains turned charred black, the dense jungles were wiped out, and the rocks on the ground had a water-like ripple structure, which was obviously the result of melting, flowing, and then solidifying.

At first, most of the Kirigakure ninjas thought that there was a volcanic eruption here, and only a few ninjas who were familiar with the waterway were very confused about this.

Because this island is not a volcanic island.

Out of caution, Commander Hozuki Sakutsuki decided to send people up the mountain to investigate. At that time, Kaguya Ren disagreed and even mocked him with words like "coward".

When the ninjas from the survey team returned in a daze, everyone became nervous. The information they brought back proved that the abnormality here was not caused by the volcano, but by a force that these Genin and Chunin could not understand at all.

So more ninjas were dispatched, including some elite jonins. The unconvinced Kaguya Ren led the team. At that time, he shouted, "What kind of power can't be understood? Civilian ninjas are all ignorant cowards. Let me go and see what's going on."

"If you ask me, it might be the work of the Konoha ninjas, just to scare us and make the cowards among us tremble with fear and become weak and helpless."

"Haha, maybe that's true. Maybe I can even catch a Konoha ninja."

But when they returned, everyone looked a little dazed. The stronger and more experienced the senior ninjas were, the more frightened they were.

Kaguya Ren, a Kage-level ninja, was the worst off. He was pale, uneasy, and trembling. He couldn't even focus his eyes. He looked like a fool.

Kaguya Lian kept repeating: "It's thunder, not lightning escape. It's thunder, not lightning escape..."

The situation was really serious now. As the highest commander of the Ninja Army, Kizuki would never allow a huge hidden danger to exist behind him. No matter how much it cost, he had to figure things out and eliminate any factors that might threaten the Kirigakure Fleet.

The Kirigakure Ninja mobilized a large number of ninjas to turn the uninhabited island upside down, and indeed found a large amount of abnormal information, which was summarized one by one to the command center on the flagship.

The more intelligence they received, the more frightened the commanders became.

The change in the topography of the mountain was caused by some kind of attack, most definitely by humans, because the area where the rock melted was an absolutely perfect circle centered on the top of the mountain.

At the edge of the melted rock, just one step away, there is dark solidified rock on one side and lush forest on the other.

As the center point of the attack, the top of the mountain was cut off by at least two people's height. This terrible attack power is simply unbelievable.

“In addition to the top of the mountain, there is another special trace near the beach on this bay.”

Gui Deng Shuoyue pointed to the hastily drawn island map, on which two red circles, one large and one small, were used to mark two key locations.

"Although the area of ​​this trace is not large, the intensity of the attack is not small. The rocks there have been completely liquefied, and even a large number of water droplet-shaped rock particles have been found."

"I totally cannot understand how the speed at which the rock melts and solidifies can be so fast that the shape of water droplets splashing in the air can be preserved?"

Kizuna Sakutsuki looked at the silent Ling. As the ice escape user of the Snow Clan, he should be the strongest ninja in terms of cooling down.

Ling has smooth and silky black hair, a delicate and beautiful face, and a calmness that keeps people at a distance. She is an absolute cold and beautiful woman. The only pity is that she is a male.

Of course, some old-school perverts may prefer it more because of this.

Ling noticed Gui Deng Shuo Yue's gaze, shook his head expressionlessly, and said in a clear and cold voice: "This is not something that can be done by cooling down quickly enough. Rocks conduct heat very slowly. If they cool down too quickly, they will only explode and it is impossible to maintain the shape when they melt."

"Unless, when the temperature drops, it drops rapidly from the inside to the outside at the same time. During the flight in the air, it drops from over 1,700 degrees, which is completely liquid, to around 800 degrees, which is enough to solidify."

Ling picked up a water drop stone with his slender white fingers. He couldn't hide his surprise on his cold face. He continued, "Judging from the shape, it must be moving very fast in the air. It must have fallen from a height of about 150 meters, which means it takes 9 to 10 seconds to go back and forth."

"It's too fast. In 10 seconds, I can only cool down 400 to 600 degrees, not to mention cooling the inside and outside at the same time. This is a method I have never thought of. It is incredibly difficult."

Gui Deng Shuo Yue asked: "How difficult is it exactly?"

Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Then he looked at Hozuki with his big watery eyes and said, "But I can guess what effect this will have. With just one hit, you will be instantly frozen from the inside out."

Gui Deng Shuo Yue, who inherited the secret art of turning Gui Deng into water, was most afraid of freezing damage. After hearing Ling's description, he exclaimed, "So fast?"

Ling held up the water drop stone and said, "This thing can cool down the inside and outside by 900 degrees in 10 seconds, which means it can cool down by 45 degrees in half a second, while your body temperature is only 37 degrees."

"The scary thing about synchronous cooling of the inside and outside is that there is no need for temperature transmission. As long as it drops to 0 degrees, your body will freeze... There is no process."

If Uchiha You could hear the analysis of Ice Release Master Ling, he would be dumbfounded and unable to refute it, and even applaud. His analysis was so logical that there was no room for rebuttal.

But this is not the case. According to the new name, this is the earth liquefaction effect brought about by the Earth Spirit Earth Escape Technique. When this technique is interrupted by lightning, it loses the support of natural energy. The liquefied rock will naturally return to its original properties instantly. It has nothing to do with temperature.

A group of elite jonin and Kage-level ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village were speechless after being frightened by the analysis, but Kaguya Ren growled, "Temperature is nothing, power is the key!"

"Those marks all over the mountain were caused by lightning. That is an attack force that my bones can never withstand! But it can cover such a large mountain in a very short time. This is an attack that can destroy all of us in one blow!"

Kaguya Ren waved her fists, pounding the thick table angrily, and shouted loudly: "Everyone can be killed at once, how can there be such a powerful attack in the ninja world?"

After calming down his pounding heart, Hozuki Sakutsuki was not disgusted by Kaguya Ren's frenzy, because his water transformation secret technique was not only afraid of freezing, but also afraid of lightning. The lightning attacks here were naturally his nemesis.

The light truck's roll was so shocking that some people would inevitably question it. So someone asked, "Did people really make this island? Could it be a natural thunderstorm disaster?"

(Uchiha You nodded repeatedly: A natural disaster, absolutely a natural disaster!)

His words expressed the doubts of many people, and whispers of agreement or doubt were heard. Kaguya Ren suddenly jumped up, waved his hand and threw a big punch, hitting the senior ninja who had questioned him, leaving him with a bloody face.

A three-inch bone spur protruded from Kaguya Ren's finger, and with this slap, the jounin's face was really split into several pieces. Blood, flesh, and broken teeth flew everywhere.

The jonin fainted without saying a word. Kaguya Ren spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at him and cursed, "Do you think you are so smart? Who do you think I am? I am scared to such an extent, and you?"

"You weakling, you think you are questioning me? You are slapping me in the face! You dare to slap me in the face, aren't you looking for death?"

Kizuki waved his hand, signaling to take the injured jonin out for treatment. He sighed and said to the rest of the people: "It's either a natural disaster or man-made."

"Right next to this small-scale trace, we found a house built of rocks and... a vegetable garden."

"?"

Gui Deng Shuo Yue's expression was the same as everyone else's, full of confusion. He recalled how he looked when he saw the house and the vegetable garden, and said absentmindedly, "The house has signs of being repaired after being damaged, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden were planted a month ago. The time just matches these two strange things."

"Obviously, these are vegetables that someone replanted after repairing their house following the disaster on the island. We in Shenzhen discovered that some of the vegetables had just been picked two days ago."

"Someone survived this horrific event on this island and continued to live here until the day before we arrived."

Gui Deng Shuo Yue's eyes were full of vigilance, and he said word by word: "He left because we came."

Ling was the youngest of the three. He asked, "Commander Kizuna, you are an old ninja. Do you know who in the ninja world could cause such a disaster?"

Kaguya Ren took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "The sissy is right, Commander, do you know any information?"

Hozuki Sakutsuki stroked his beard and sighed, "There really is such a powerful ninja in the ninja world. I have even seen him with my own eyes."

"I was only six years old at that time, not yet a formal ninja. He blocked the gate of the Kirigakure Village that we had just built. At that time, several thousand ninjas who had just changed into Kirigakure forehead protectors confronted him, but no one dared to fight him."

"The Shodaime Byakuren-sama negotiated with him, but that guy was arrogant and refused to accept any of the Shodaime's conditions. In order to scare us, he transformed into a huge chakra giant and struck with the giant sword in his hand. He split the mountain in front of the village."

Kaguya Ren and Ling, as well as all the ninjas present, opened their mouths wide. Are they talking about the avenue not far from the gate of the Hidden Mist Village?

Although I have known since childhood that the name of that road is Shuraqi, who would have thought that it was opened up by human power? How is that possible?

Thinking of the name "Shurakiri", someone exclaimed: "Shura of the Ninja World?!"

"Yes, it's the Shura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, and the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama." Kizuna Sakutsuki continued, "If they were still alive, I would directly conclude that it was Uchiha Madara who did it. He is good at fire escape, so maybe our judgment of the power of lightning is wrong."

"But they are all dead. Now I really don't know who still has such terrible power."

"Is there such a terrifying person in the world?"

Just when the senior ninjas of Kirigakure were getting anxious, another jonin stood up and said, "Everyone, no matter how powerful this mysterious person is, we can't stay here any longer. It's really too long."

Kaguya Ren looked up at him without saying anything, but she didn't rush up to hit him either.

Ling nodded to him in a friendly manner and agreed, "Terumi Jonin is right. If we continue to stay here, the control of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village will deepen. The space for the next landing battle will quickly become narrow, which is not conducive to the performance of our Hidden Mist Ninja."

Kizuki asked, "Terumi Jonin, what suggestions do you have?"

The tall and handsome jonin calmly replied, "I suggest that we stay for another day to conduct a more thorough inspection to confirm whether this mysterious man is staying here, or to confirm that he is not a direct threat to us."

"We will leave here tomorrow and go into the sea further away to make a circle. Once we are out of the sight of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village, they will get nervous and have to disperse their troops and reconnaissance forces. Then we will head straight for our real destination."

He put his hands on the back of his head and said with a smile: "Haha, even though I don't know where the final destination is, I think this plan can still work."

Kizuna Sakutsuki was very satisfied with this suggestion. He nodded and said, "The suggestion of Terumi Jonin is very useful. She is indeed worthy of being the most valued subordinate of Master Yuanshi. In this case, we will execute this plan next."

He looked around and asked, "Does anyone else have any suggestions or anything to add?"

Ling said, "I don't think there's a problem either. We can leave a team here after we leave, just as a warning signal."

Hui Ye Lian also nodded and said, "Very good, it would be better if we leave a small team behind. I would feel more at ease if someone could keep an eye on it."

More Kirigakure ninjas came down from the ship and entered the island to search, but under the strict orders, no one dared to destroy the simple house and vegetable garden.

Around this time, Uchiha You was cooking for the Tiger Troops. He used a real iron shovel to stir the vegetables in the wok and complained to Miwa Masayo, "This food is too expensive. There are too many Konoha ninjas gathered here, causing the price of goods in the Land of Hot Springs to rise too much."

Miwa Masayo said, "Isn't this what you asked for? Don't complain about your own ideas, meow."

Uchiha Shigenobu was also shocked by the bill. He couldn't help but say, "In fact, there is enough food and salted fish to fill us up. There is no need to buy so many vegetables."

"It's too expensive. I can't afford it."

Uchiha You scolded: "No matter how expensive it is, it's my money. It's natural for me to complain. What are you complaining about?"

"Hehe, I feel sorry for your money, brother. I don't think other ninjas are so extravagant. We are being too high-profile."

"Nonsense, eating something delicious makes you high-profile? The real high-profile is fought on the battlefield. We are ninjas from the Uchiha family, what's wrong with eating something delicious?"

Uchiha You sighed, "Oh, if I had known I would take a detour and retrieve all my food later. Now it's all wasted."

"ah?"

Miwa Yasile rolled around and even fell off Uchiha Yu's shoulder. She said to Uchiha Shigenobu: "Your brother Yu is a real weirdo. We were on a mission and training on an uninhabited island before, and he inexplicably built a house on the island."

The tabby cat couldn't help but be surprised when she recalled it. She said with emotion: "Building a house is fine. After all, it is a long-term task. It's also good to have a house to keep out the wind and rain."

"But I don't know when he actually reclaimed a piece of land in front of the house, planted a lot of vegetables, and created a vegetable garden..."

Uchiha You said: "Alas, this is the natural talent of my race. When he saw the grass beside the stream, his hands moved on their own."

"That's very strange, meow."

"Humph, Sanlun Yashi, you are still one talent away from Yanhuang Miao!"

"Meow, you are talking nonsense again. What exactly is Yanhuang? What is your racial talent?"

"Haha, Miwa Masayo, you now have the talent of being able to eat everything. The second talent is still a secret for now."

"Everything can be eaten... Damn it, meow, this is a habit you brought up."

The daily bickering between Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masayo made Uchiha Shigenobu feel a little embarrassed. He tried to shrink his body as small as possible, hoping not to be noticed by Brother Yuu and the Cat Hermit.

If my older brother and sister accidentally say something embarrassing, will they let me go?

In fact, he was worrying too much. Uchiha You had traveled through time for 18 years, and caution had been engraved into his bones. He would not even say "Rika-chan" in front of him, let alone other secrets.
