Chapter 143: As long as you are willing to feed it, the giant octopus will be willing to sacrifice its legs



After Orochimaru left, more and more Uchiha family ninjas began to join the Tiger Force, but the quality of the ninjas was really unsatisfactory.

More than half of the Uchiha ninjas are blind Genin, and the key point is that there are also many Genin over 20 years old and Chunin over 30 years old.

As an Uchiha, Uchiha You actually saw these old ninjas for the first time. He learned that they all worked as low-level jailers in Konoha Prison after failing to open their eyes.

They actually brought a group of jailers to him. This is too outrageous.

These older ninjas all failed in competitions and have spent many years in prison. None of them have a normal personality. Either their self-confidence is shattered and they are as humble as dust, or they are extremely slippery and can do anything you say wrong. They can beat you up and make you unable to find fault. It's really a headache.

Uchiha Shigenobu was only 18 years old and could not deal with these old jailers at all, so he could only seek help from Uchiha You.

Uchiha You naturally had a way. He set up a Tiger Force logistics squadron, a kind that didn't even have a squadron leader. He just crammed all these people in and left them alone.

He hung up this group of people abruptly.

They have nothing to do with training, they have to take care of their own meals, they won’t be asked to chop off the legs of a giant octopus, and they can forget about eating meat.

Uchiha You did not block their way to advancement. He told several squad leaders that as long as anyone among them took the initiative to follow the training for three consecutive days, he could be recruited into the combat team.

After arranging all this, Uchiha You said with emotion: "It is indeed a gathering of people of all kinds."

"I've finally opened my eyes today: the Uchiha family, a family that produces many lunatics and perverts with the Sharingan, actually has so many useless ninjas."

Uchiha Kazushi was also filled with emotion: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that there would be such an Uchiha ninja."

Uchiha Tadamichi sighed and said, "I do know something. They are the most miserable group of people in the family."

Uchiha You heard what Zhongdao said, turned his head and said: "Zhongdao, if you know, please tell me their situation in detail."

Uchiha Tadamichi pointed at his nose and said, "Actually, I am one of them. If it weren't for Brother You helping me, Konoha Prison would have been my fate."

It turned out that these people all came from the lower classes and were sent to the Ninja School to study, but because of their poor academic performance, they lost face for the Uchiha Clan and were disliked by the family's top brass.

After graduating from the Ninja School, they have no channels to join the Ninja team, nor the ability to accept and complete missions on their own. They also have various personality problems and cannot provide services to their masters and direct descendants.

Although these ninjas were Uchiha ninjas, their conditions were even worse than those of ordinary ninjas. It was very difficult for them to even make a living, and slowly the golden age of ninjas was wasted.

If there is still no hope of awakening the Sharingan by the age of 20, these ninjas will retire and go home to learn a craft from their family and become commoners of the Uchiha family again.

Among them are some of the most unlucky Uchiha.

Due to various reasons, they lost their parents and relatives during their time as Genin and became orphan ninjas. However, they were unable to awaken the Sharingan, and became true wastes in the eyes of the Uchiha family.

But because they have no family left, they can't find any channels to learn a skill even after retirement. Without any ability to survive, they can only rely on their family to provide them with food.

So Konoha Prison became the only destination for these trash.

As an ordinary and excellent Uchiha ninja, Uchiha You always thought that he was at the bottom of the family before he became an immortal. He never thought that there would be such a person in the Uchiha family.

It turns out that they have experienced enough tragic fates, but for various reasons, they have not received any response even from the curse. No wonder all I felt when I went to see them before was their broken wills.

Their hearts are dead.

But it's none of my business, no one can be responsible for others.

Unless they still have hope and cheer themselves up, they will just have to fend for themselves.

That's what Uchiha Yu thought.

As more and more ninjas from the Uchiha family joined, the size of the Tiger Force continued to increase, and soon expanded to 15 teams.

Uchiha You merged the five teams into one squadron, appointed a squadron leader, and assigned a four-man team to the squadron leader.

This means that each squadron has 89 people, and the Tiger Force combat team has 267 people.

However, only the first squadron led by Uchiha Shigenobu was combat-ready, as the other two squadrons had not even completed basic formation and discipline training.

Not to mention the 37-man logistics squadron and 26 scouts under the age of 12. They are not combat effectiveness but a burden.

There is no doubt that the Tiger Force, which has completed a major expansion, has now seen its combat effectiveness drop to its limit, becoming a useless force with no combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, Orochimaru promised enough time. He would not assign any tasks to the Tiger Unit for a period of time. All decisions would be made by Uchiha Yu.

There is no other way but training. Only by training for a long enough time can these Uchiha be transformed into qualified members of the Tiger Force.

Spring passed and summer came. As the weather gradually got hotter, the summer of the 44th year of Konoha arrived.

A ninja troop was advancing rapidly on the choppy sea. They were arranged in a standard four-by-four formation. While advancing quickly, they tried their best to hide their bodies with the help of the waves.

This is a tactical formation that has been very popular recently. It started in Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village, and has now spread to Iwagakure Village and Sandgakure Village.

Even the Hidden Mist Village, which returned to the battlefield again, adopted a similar tactical formation.

At the same time, the most popular three-person team in the ninja world was changed into a four-person team, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the combat team.

And this ninja squad is the source of the Four-Four System. They are the Uchiha ninjas of the Tiger Unit of Konoha Village. They are carrying out the Tiger Unit's routine monthly leg-cutting operation.

Soon they arrived at an uninhabited sea area and found a circular coral island.

This island has no mountains, and the highest point is only about two meters above the sea level. If there is a high tide, it may be completely submerged by the sea.

After arriving at the island, the captain of the ninja team took out a special copper whistle. The whistle was nearly half a foot long and inlaid with five pearls.

The captain carefully observed the surrounding environment, confirmed that there were no other ninjas, and blew the copper whistle hard.

Strangely, there was no sharp whistle. Instead, five pearls glowed one after another, and the lavender light was mixed with strands of electric sparks that dissipated into the air.

At this moment, waves of pure natural energy fluctuations of the Thunder Spirit that the ninjas could not perceive quickly spread from the copper whistle and transmitted the information to the sea.

Soon, a huge octopus head emerged from the sea, and it slowly approached the island with its claws and fangs bared.

When the Tiger Force ninjas saw the giant octopus, none of them showed any fear, and no one prepared to fight.

On the contrary, their eyes were filled with eager anticipation, and even conveyed an uncontrollable appetite, making the giant octopus tremble.

The octopus's big watery eyes were filled with huge tears, and its eyes were full of fear, but also strangely mixed with some kind of elusive expectation.

The octopus finally reached the shore after a long delay.

It hesitated, wavered, was afraid, and was reluctant, but ultimately it stretched out its two thickest and darkest octopus legs to the island and closed its eyes.

The giant octopus' parrot-like beak opened and closed quickly, making a clicking sound, as if urging the Uchiha ninja to finish the work quickly!

The leading ninja said, "Today is the first time our Second Squadron Sixth Division will carry out a mission. Everyone, please don't embarrass yourself!"

"Captain, we understand!"

"We must get it done right the first time and never give the big guy a second chance of suffering!"

The captain ordered: "Get ready! Start making seals!"

As the order was given, 17 ninjas began to form hand seals. Fire chakra gathered quickly, the temperature in the air rose rapidly, and even light distortion occurred.

The strange thing is that the chakra extracted by the ninjas gathered around the team leader and eventually formed an extremely powerful chakra.

This chakra is so powerful that it even exceeds the limits of what a jonin can achieve.

The captain of the sixth team completed the hand seal, aimed at the base of the giant octopus's two legs, and released the ninjutsu.

Fire Style: Blue Flame Sword

A jet of flame spurted out of his mouth, and the flame quickly changed from red when it first appeared to orange, and then continued to change to gold and white.

Until it stabilized into a blue-white flame sword like a laser, it was thrown towards the octopus's leg placed on the island.

The blue-white blue flame sword exuded an astonishingly high temperature and had an unimaginable ultra-high-speed impact force. It gently cut into the octopus leg the moment it touched it, and penetrated the octopus leg the next moment.

The captain took a deep breath, controlled the blue flame sword to rotate on the spot, and directly cut off an octopus leg.

The Blue Flame Sword's remaining force was still there as it rushed towards the other octopus leg without stopping, piercing, spinning, and cutting with the same effortless movement.

In just one second, two giant octopus legs were cut off. The performance was much better than the battle more than four months ago.

After the octopus' legs were cut off, they were disconnected from the brain in the body and, under the control of the brain in the legs, they stayed on the coast and jumped around. But the Uchiha used the second ninjutsu skillfully.

Fire Style: Heat Exchange

This is a new technique carefully developed by Uchiha You. It uniquely uses fire escape to quickly dissipate heat, achieving a rapid cooling effect.

This is definitely an astonishing ninjutsu, and even the cooling speed is very fast.

The only drawback is that because the ninjutsu belongs to the category of fire escape, the temperature cannot be reduced to zero degrees no matter what. If these Uchiha use it, it can only be close to six degrees.

But the low temperature of six degrees was enough for the octopus legs. It immediately left them with no room to struggle and they were quickly packed up by the Uchiha ninja and sealed in a scroll.

The giant octopus lost two legs, and blue blood was flowing from its wounds. It was crying tears in pain, but it still refused to leave the beach and return to the deep sea.

It was actually guarding the beach, using its remaining six octopus legs of varying depths to ask for something from the captain of the Tiger Force's Sixth Squad.

This Uchiha ninja was surprisingly patient. He waited until his subordinates had assembled the octopus legs before he slowly took out a small iron box from his arms.

He opened the iron box and took out a small dried fish.

The giant octopus was extremely large at this time. Its two big eyes alone were taller than the ninja, and it could see the dried fish in the ninja's hand at a glance.

It instantly forgot the pain and the two octopus legs, and shook excitedly. The octopus legs also slapped the sea water randomly, like a chubby wolf king seeing an egg yolk pie.

Uchiha Takayuki took the dried fish, but before he raised his hand, the giant octopus did not extend its tentacles directly no matter how excited it was.

The thirty-something old ninja smiled and raised his hands high.

Seeing this clear signal, the three tentacles immediately stretched out, carefully pinched the dried fish with three points of support, slowly retracted, and put the dried fish into the mouth that could swallow three ninjas in one gulp.

In just a moment, the color of the giant octopus icon completely faded, and it became as white and crystal as white porcelain, and the bleeding wounds healed visibly.

Then the color of the giant octopus began to change, and the colorful colors formed a gorgeous light show like neon lights, showing the octopus's excitement.

What’s even more amazing is that within just a few seconds, a small new tentacle grew out from the healed wound and was twisting flexibly.

A few minutes later, the giant octopus calmed down, waved its tentacles at the Uchiha ninjas of the Tiger Force, and swam towards the open sea without looking back, quickly disappearing into the vast ocean.

Uchiha Takayuki also smiled and ordered: "Mission accomplished, let's go back."

"Everyone remember, our mission can only be considered complete if we return safely with the octopus leg. We must remain highly alert on the road!"

"Understood!"

But the luck of the Sixth Team was really bad. On their way back, they encountered a sudden downward storm. There was thunder and hail in broad daylight. Everyone returned with injuries and were ridiculed by other teams of the Tiger Force.

The leg-cutting mission had to be carried out by five teams four months in advance, and had to be led by Uchiha Yuu or Miwa Masayo, to ensure that there would be no casualties due to the resistance of the giant octopus.

There is no way. There are too many new novice ninjas joining, and these new Uchiha have poor strength and experience. They don't obey orders, always want to show off and fight the giant octopus alone, and they can't guarantee their own safety at all.

But things soon got better.

After the battle with the giant octopus, the newcomers finally understood their position as trash, so they accepted their training honestly and studied tactics and ninjutsu seriously.

After all, he is a ninja from the Uchiha family. His basic foundation is much higher than that of pure civilians. As long as he works hard, he can improve rapidly.

As Uchiha Yu taught them how to stand still and enter a state of tranquility, the popularity of the Sharingan began to recover rapidly, and the Tiger Unit's combat effectiveness also recovered rapidly.

Another thing is that when Miwa Masayo was leading the team, he accidentally dropped a few dried fish. After they were eaten by the giant octopus, the guy suddenly became tamed.

For a bite of dried fish, it can willingly contribute its legs. Anyway, not all of them will be chopped off at once, and they can grow back anyway, so just change them!

Soon, Miwa Masayo and the giant octopus reached an agreement, agreed on the transaction location, and even agreed on a calling signal.

Based on this signal, Uchiha You used his old copper whistle and the pearls produced by the octopus to create his first magical instrument. This copper whistle inlaid with octopus pearls cannot be blown, but the wave transmitted through natural energy can resonate with the pearls in the giant octopus.

When the octopus feels this vibration, it will actively climb up the island from the bottom of the sea and exchange its legs for dried fish.

Since last month, the leg-cutting mission has become a task for a small team. The biggest challenge in the mission is whether they can master the joint ninjutsu: Fire Style: Blue Flame Sword.

The risks in the mission mainly come from the sea. The Uchiha may encounter strange weather on the way back and forth, as well as the increasing number of scattered Mist Ninjas this month.

Today's dinner is a collective dinner for the Tiger Force. The three combat squadrons and the Boy Scouts can all enjoy the octopus meat dinner. Only the logistics squadron, which serves as a trash basket, is not allowed to participate, as a distinction.

Uchiha You still cooks by himself, because as the giant octopus starts to consume dried fish, its physical condition is constantly changing. The ingredients for cooking have to be adjusted every time, and it is impossible to teach it to others.

This time the dinner was very formal, Uchiha You actually pulled the entire logistics squadron over, and asked them to stand in front of the dining table, smelling the heart-wrenching aroma and watching other Uchiha enjoy the food with their own eyes.

The reason why it was so cruel was that the captain of the Sixth Squadron, Uchiha Takayuki, was very special. He worked hard to jump out of the logistics squadron.

Uchiha Takayuki joined the army during the expansion four months ago. He was a 32-year-old blind Chunin. His parents and brothers died in the last war, and even his children and wife passed away unexpectedly.

He has not opened his eyes even after experiencing such a tragic life, and is the most despised one in the logistics squadron.

Uchiha You loudly recounted Uchiha Takayuki's situation, and then said in an even louder voice: "But even such an Uchiha who is recognized as trash did not give up!"

"He took the initiative to train with the First Squadron, and would train day and night until he completed the training! With his own efforts, he met my requirements and officially joined the Second Squadron. He also awakened the Sharingan after only 15 days!"

"The suffering of fate had already filled his heart. Uchiha Takayuki soon awakened two more magatama Sharingan and became the captain of the 6th squadron of the 2nd squadron!"

"He's not trash!"

Hualalalal——

As is customary in military training, there was intense applause.

Uchiha Takayuki's face turned red, and everyone's gaze made him feel helpless. He just clapped along with everyone out of habit.

The trash in the logistics squadron suddenly felt as if their hearts were hit hard by a hammer, and their dead hearts actually felt hot.
