Along with the trembling sound of Uchiha Yuu's electronic music, lightning, arcs, and balls of electricity all poured into Kaguya Noboru's body along the bone spear, burning his internal organs, nerves, and muscles bit by bit.

This was not natural lightning from the sky, but rather the natural energy of the lightning spirit within Uchiha Yuu's meridians, a power he could fully control without killing his target.

The cruelty of such continuous electric shocks was something Kaguya Noboru had never imagined.

The intense electric shock caused his muscles to tremble violently, and severe pain raged through his body. The violent contraction of his muscles tore violently at the bones of the corpse veins, causing horrific cuts and lacerations.

Kaguya Noboru was covered in blood, like a bloody man.

But he did not die, and it can even be said that his life was not in any danger in the short term.

Uchiha You avoided directly fatal internal organs and only destroyed his muscles, nerves and some internal organs that would not be immediately fatal. He even carefully burned the torn skin to help him disinfect and stop the bleeding.

Yes, he has decided to leave one person alive and create a new vest for himself.

Uchiha You had a hunch that he would need it soon.

After the battle, Uchiha You carefully finished off all the ninjas except Kaguya Noboru, making sure that no one was left alive and not destroying the image of "Thor".

After checking and confirming that there were no problems, he quietly returned to the island where the Tiger Force was located.

After returning to his own courtyard, Uchiha You first went to see Miwa Masayo who had not yet woken up, and confirmed that the tabby cat was in good condition, then quietly left the room.

Uchiha You sat down in the yard and unexpectedly found that his mood was peaceful. The restlessness he felt when he left had completely disappeared.

This result was unbelievable to him. According to previous expectations, even if he learned cloud gliding and killed all the Hyuga clan ninjas, it could only greatly reduce the restlessness, but not completely eliminate it.

After all, after a heart attack, if no external force is applied, it can only recover slowly, and it will take a very long time.

There must have been new changes in his spiritual world that he was not aware of. Although the problem was completely solved, Uchiha You was extremely curious about what exactly had changed.

He had to go into the spiritual world and see.

So Uchiha You focused his mind and immersed himself smoothly in absolute tranquility. His mind gradually sank in the tranquility and suddenly he entered the spiritual world.

With just one glance, he knew what the change was.

The fourth heart shape is finalized.

It condensed from a black thundercloud or dark gray fog into a...toad.

This toad is fat and plump, with its body surface mainly covered with blue and green lightning patterns, dotted with a few white dots, and electric sparks popping out from time to time.

The attribute of thunder and lightning, that’s right, it is indeed the fourth heart shape, awesome.

The appearance of this little monster has brought the balance of the spiritual world to its optimal state. No wonder it can quickly eliminate the heart-shaped mutation.

Moreover, the liver clam is a big foodie. It greedily sticks out its tongue and licks the mutated heart-shaped flesh, blood and hair that have fallen on the ground.

What’s interesting is that the result of it swallowing is that Uchiha Yu benefits, as if he is being digested by the spiritual world.

In the entire spiritual world, only the hole octopus Xiao Ke was the most hurt, because as long as it got close enough, the liver clam would give up licking the ground and instead try to stick to Xiao Ke with its big tongue and swallow him.

The cave octopus was frightened, and it hid far away as if it had seen a natural enemy, and refused to approach.

But none of the four heart shapes are easy to mess with. They attach great importance to their absolute territory. Once Xiao Ke gets too close, they will drive it to the positions of the other three heart shapes.

The poor octopus can only be driven back and forth between the three heart shapes.

Uchiha Yu's spiritual world is a world where only the hole-shaped octopus Xiao Ke can be hurt.

Seeing that his spiritual world was so harmonious, Uchiha You was extremely satisfied. This time he was truly fully prepared for a breakthrough.

The physical development has reached its limit, the internal and external balance of chakra and natural energy has been achieved, and the spiritual world is in perfect balance. Now all that is left is an opportunity.

…

Orochimaru did stay in the camp of the Konoha Ninja Army. Unlike Jiraiya, he was very patient and was very good at the tactic of forbearing and luring the enemy before finally delivering a fatal blow.

The sudden outbreak of the Hidden Mist Village involves not only the Land of Hot Springs, but also the Land of Waves, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Whirlpools, all of which are within the attack range of the Hidden Mist Ninja.

Under such circumstances, as one of the most authoritative people among the Konoha ninjas, Orochimaru received too much information, which caused him to suffer serious interference that was difficult to troubleshoot.

Uchiha You is on the front line, with few but clear sources of intelligence, and with his own advantage of time travel, he can make accurate judgments quickly.

Unfortunately, when his judgment was written into a report and passed to Orochimaru, it became one of the disruptive factors that caused Orochimaru great distress.

Too many people are conveying their own judgments to Orochimaru, which are based on one-sided local intelligence and lack convincing evidence.

Uchiha You did have more extensive information, but it either came from his own memories from time travel or was attributed to the No. 2 vest, and he couldn't tell Orochimaru anything.

This makes his judgment equally unconvincing.

The Fourth Mizukage's target of attack was not the Land of Lightning, nor the Land of Fire, but the Land of Whirlpools. He used it as a springboard to conquer the Land of Tea in the south.

Yagura Karuta wanted to avoid the strong northeastern line of Orochimaru's troops and launch an attack from the south and southeast of the Land of Fire, where the Konoha ninjas had almost no strength and no decent commanders.

This is how Yagura explained it to the Master: "The Leaf Village is the strongest, there is no doubt about that, but the Leaf Village is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning of the Second War."

"Perhaps the lower-level ninjas in Konoha Village are very strong, or even stronger, but there are really not many Kage-level strongmen."

"Orochimaru guarded the Land of Hot Springs and held off the Kirigakure and Kumogakure alone. Jiraiya was in the Land of Rain, holding off the main forces of the Iwagakure and Sandgakure villages. Although they suffered heavy losses, they were able to hold their ground."

"These two Kage-level ninjas are holding off the four major ninja villages, but it seems that they only have these two Kage-level ninjas available."

"The White Fang of Konoha was forced to death by themselves, Tsunade was forced to leave the village, and Shimura Danzo is ambitious but incompetent, while Sarutobi Hiruzen is timid and incompetent. Neither of them is suitable to be the commander of the ninja army, nor can they put down their airs like Jiraiya did to cooperate with and protect a jonin-class commander."

"So on the southern battlefield of River Country, Konoha Village has no commander available. They are playing badly together with Sand Village there."

"Master Yuanshi, my target is the area in the south of the Land of Fire, near the Land of Rivers."

"Of course, I will first attack the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools, and then the Land of Tea. I will try my best to distract Konoha's attention and make the Third Hokage overwhelmed. Finally, I will completely open up the situation here."

"As long as we actually invade the Land of Fire and ignite a raging war in the Land of Fire, the entire ninja world will follow suit. By then, Konoha Village will be doomed."

"Unless a real Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara appears immediately, Konoha Village will be torn apart under the siege of the four major ninja villages."

The master was overwhelmed with emotion after hearing this, and immediately decided to give his full support. If the Hidden Mist Village could be the first to invade the Land of Fire, the war would be completely ignited, triggering the crisis of the destruction of Konoha Village.

Even if he died immediately, he would be able to rest in peace.

It is precisely because the goal of the Hidden Mist Village at the current stage is only harassment and intelligence isolation, and the target is not in the Land of Hot Springs at all, that Orochimaru is confused and unable to figure out the enemy's purpose.

Orochimaru's basic style is to plan before acting. If he doesn't know what the enemy wants to do, he won't act rashly.

Nara Shikaku couldn't even hold back anymore and asked uncertainly, "Lord Orochimaru, are we really not going to do anything?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Who said I didn't do anything? Let all the Konoha ninjas who can't hold on in the sea come back. Also, give up the northern part of the Land of Hot Water and transfer all the ninjas back."

"ah?"

Nara Shikaku was confused. He was asking how to attack, but Orochimaru told him to retreat completely as soon as he opened his mouth.

No matter how smart he was, he couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke out his true feelings directly: "But we can't explain this to the Third Hokage."

Orochimaru snorted coldly: "What a joke, I only have 7,600 ninjas under my command. I should have occupied such a large area from the beginning."

"It was all for the sake of boosting the morale of Konoha Village that I allowed the ninjas to hold on for four months. Four months! I have done my best for my teacher. If he can't turn the situation around in four months, what do you want me to do?"

Nara Shikaku turned pale with fear and said nervously in a low voice: "Be careful with your words, be careful with your words..."

Orochimaru didn't care: "I'm the one saying bad things about the teacher, not you. What are you afraid of?"

Nara Shikaku: Of course you're afraid that your teacher can't do anything to you, so you take it out on me.

Seeing his staff officer so angry and depressed, his eyes were wide open, his nostrils were flared, and his whole body was deformed, Orochimaru had to comfort him: "Don't worry, I don't have any Anbu of the Hokage here."

Can Nara Antlers be trusted?

He was really furious, and pointed at the masked ninja standing in the corner of the room. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear: Where is such a big ANBU standing? You tell me there is no one there?

Orochimaru turned his head 180 degrees, looked in the direction of the finger, and chuckled, "Shikaku, this Anbu is not the Hokage's Anbu, but 'my' Anbu, so don't worry."

Nara Shikaku's face instantly recovered, but his expression became even more serious and heavy: "Lord Orochimaru, have you reached your hand into the Anbu?"

"Um."

Orochimaru admitted calmly, adding, "It's not a big deal."

The impact of this sentence was so great that Nara Shikaku almost choked to death on his own saliva.

What do you mean it’s not a big deal? What does it mean for Orochimaru to be an Anbu?

The Anbu was founded by the Second Hokage and is directly under the Hokage. It is the highest-ranking violent organization in Konoha Village. The Anbu has the privileges of intelligence, assassination, arrest, execution, defense, counterintelligence, etc. The most important thing is that they represent the power of the Hokage.

Within Konoha Village and the Land of Fire, the Anbu's privileges are almost omnipotent, and they can directly execute any ninja below the rank of Jonin. This is a true special privilege of the Hokage, with no taboos.

Orochimaru, you just reach in and replace the Third Hokage's will with your own will, is that okay?

Orochimaru saw Nara Shikaku getting into a dilemma, his face wrinkled with worry, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think that the Anbu is so sacred. After all, this is the era of my teacher, the Third Hokage. It's no longer the era of the Second Hokage."

"Shikaku, think carefully, how many people are there in the Anbu now? Is it still the same size as the original 70 people? Moreover, the Anbu is no longer exclusive to the Hokage. Is there something else under this department?"

After being reminded by Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku's mind suddenly came to its senses, and he murmured, "Shimura..."

"Don't mention his name. He is even more petty than my teacher, and he is really shameless."

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

"Go and give the order to retract."

"yes."

"etc."

Just as Nara Shikaku was about to walk out, Orochimaru stopped him and ordered, "Go find out the status of the Tiger Force. If they can still hold their ground at sea, don't recall them."

"If they can gain a foothold on the sea, the Hidden Mist Village will be constrained and feel like a thorn in the back no matter what they want to do within the three kingdoms on the east coast of the continent."

Nara Shikaku now has full confidence in the Tiger Force. He smiled and said, "Although we can't say we are safe, we won't be in any danger either."

"This is turning into the situation of the Battle of Kubota Village again. I think the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village will go crazy."

Orochimaru also laughed: "What I want is for the Mizukage to go crazy. If he goes crazy, the pressure here will be much less."

When Nara Shikaku left, Orochimaru's smile faded, and his whole temperament suddenly became gloomy and cold. He snorted coldly and said to himself: "My low pressure is not necessarily a good thing. I wonder what kind of personality the Fourth Mizukage has."

"If the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, becomes extremely ambitious and goes all out to develop southward, making a big detour and then fighting back to the Land of Fire, then Konoha Village will be in big trouble."

"I hope that the Tiger Force, this thorn in the side, can cause enough trouble to the Hidden Mist Village."

…

Just as Orochimaru turned his attention to the Tiger Force, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi was also thinking about the problems of this group of Uchiha clan ninjas.

Kaguya completed the task of cleaning the sea, but suffered serious losses in the northern area. More than 400 Kirigakure ninjas disappeared here.

It was not until the elite jonin of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Noboru, as well as 50 Hyuga clan ninjas and more than 60 Kirigakure ninjas were finally defeated here that the Kirigakure Village received accurate information.

"The Uchiha Clan's Tiger Unit, and... a weirdo?"

"Chief Kaguya, you actually said that he was guided by fate and deliberately went to kill your people. How can I believe this?"

Faced with the questioning of the Fourth Mizukage, Kaguya Yoshi was helpless. He didn't know why Kaguya Noboru was beaten to a cripple by a monster.

Fortunately, someone spoke up and helped Kaguya out of the predicament.

Terumi Jonin stood up and said, "The last time we assembled a large fleet and passed through the waters of the peninsula, we encountered an island."

He described all the traces of lightning he had seen on the island, as well as the houses where humans lived and the small vegetable plots that had been cultivated. Everyone was struck by what he heard.

"At that time, our guess was that there was a powerful ninja who was good at lightning escape hiding there, and this island was not too far away from the sea where the battle took place. On the contrary, the Uchiha activity area that was discovered later was farther away."

Terumi Jonin said, "I have a wild idea. Maybe this is two different things colliding together."

"On one side, the Tiger Force of Konoha Village is fighting with us for control of the sea area, and on the other side, there is an unexpected conflict between the hermit monster and us."

Karuju Yagura nodded and said, "What Terumi Jonin said makes sense, but we have to verify it. The risk of verification is not low. Well, this time the Snow Clan will be responsible."

The new chief of the Snow Clan was still a handsome boy with long black hair. He stood up and respectfully accepted the order, "Yes, Fourth Mizukage."

The Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura pointed at the island where the Tiger Force was stationed on the map and said with emotion: "I have to say, Orochimaru has a good eye."

"Hey, before Konoha's Tiger Force showed up, there was nothing wrong here. But with them here, we can't attack the Land of Hot Springs on a large scale, and we can't even get to the east coast of the Land of Fire."

"I never thought that pressing a nail here would make me so uncomfortable."

The Fourth Mizukage said to all the ninjas in a serious tone: "Confirm the information about that weirdo as soon as possible, and then no matter what, we must eliminate the Tiger Force as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter what we do, we have to consider them, which is too uncomfortable."

The Master said hesitantly, "In the last war, the Tiger Unit of Konoha Village, with less than a hundred men, actually caused more than 3,000 casualties among our Kirigakure Ninjas. Their combat power is quite terrifying."

"And intelligence shows that they have expanded to about 300 people. This force is not easy to deal with."

The Fourth Mizukage nodded in agreement: "It is because they are so powerful that we have to deal with them with all our strength. If it were any other few hundred ninjas, we wouldn't have to care at all."

The Master asked, "Master Fourth Generation, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Yagura Karuji replied: "In the previous war, Konoha's Tiger Squad has proven that they are not afraid of the siege of thousands of ninjas and are good at dealing with Chunin and Genin."

"But I believe they have no way to deal with powerful ninjas, such as the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, or a ninja unit composed purely of jonin."

"We are the Hidden Mist Village, one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world. No matter how strong this Tiger Force is, they are just a small group of Uchiha ninjas."

"As long as we can obtain detailed intelligence on the Tiger Force and make targeted arrangements, the Hidden Mist Village will definitely be able to eliminate them."
