Uchiha You was extremely excited and made more attempts.

He found that the natural energies he could drive were different. The easiest to drive was the water spirit under his feet, followed by the thunder spirit in the sky and the wind spirit in the air.

The fire spirit was extremely difficult to create. Uchiha You held his strength for a long time before he could squeeze out a flame, which was about the size of a candle.

This is easy to understand. The natural energy of fire spirits is the least on the sea. After all, there are no natural fire sources such as volcanic islands around.

But Uchiha You also encountered an inexplicable phenomenon. The seabed was about 40 meters below his feet, but he was completely unable to mobilize the natural energy of the earth spirit. Even if he dived into the sea and stepped on the seabed, it still didn't work.

Just when he was racking his brains to figure out the reasons behind this and trying to design an experimental plan, Miwa Masayo came to him.

She saw the thunderclouds that gathered the natural energy of the Thunder Spirit begin to move, and judged that Uchiha You's breakthrough was complete, so she ran over immediately.

With a meow, the white tabby cat pounced on her special spot. Her appearance scared Uchiha You, and he asked, "Lihua-chan, what are all those white things on you?"

"It's salt, meow. Help me wash it off, meow. I can't use water escape!"

Miwa Masayo meowed and begged her owner for help. From her sad expression and long tongue, Uchiha You guessed that the kitten must have licked the salt on its fur and choked.

Uchiha You looked at the embarrassed raccoon cat and asked with a smile: "Lihua-chan, why are you so embarrassed? It's not an easy thing to get so much salt on your body."

As he spoke, he raised his hand flat, palm facing up, and lifted it slightly. A ball of pure fresh water separated from the sea water, surrounded the body of the tabby cat, and quickly washed the salt stains on her body.

Miwa Masayo closed her eyes and enjoyed being washed by the clean water. She explained, "The waves are too big today, meow. They keep getting my body wet."

"You know meow, I don't like the feeling of my body being soaked, so I try to evaporate the moisture quickly meow. Unconsciously, a lot of salt is left on my body, which makes me feel uncomfortable meow."

"I tried to use my tongue to clean the salt particles, but salt is bitter and salty, and it's very uncomfortable to lick, meow. And I can't do water escape, so I can only ask you for help, meow."

"By the way, meow, You succeeded in breaking through, right?"

Miwa Masayo used an inquiring tone, but her tone was very affirmative. It was obvious that she had absolute confidence in Uchiha Yu's success, and asking was just to confirm a result.

Uchiha You smiled and replied: "Of course it was successful."

"That's great, meow. You've gotten much stronger, meow?"

"Yeah, my strength is ten times greater, I can run twice as fast, and my reaction speed has improved a lot."

"In terms of immortal arts, I have absorbed the natural energy of the water spirit. Now I have all five spirits in my body, and the natural energy is reintegrating, as if it is nurturing something."

"In short, it has become much stronger."

Uchiha You combed the tangled cat hair with his fingers and added: "By the way, I can also control the natural energy in nature."

“Like this.”

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward, and the scattered natural energy of the wind spirit in the air gathered together to form a small column of wind.

Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu have been together for a long time, and she understands exactly what this means, so she looked at the Wind Pillar with stars in her eyes.

The tabby cat exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "It's actually the unity of nature and man... It's so handsome."

Uchiha You, however, denied it with a grin: "I can't be sure it's the unity of heaven and man, because my connection with the surroundings is constantly weakening, and the intensity of the natural energy I can control is decreasing rapidly."

"I'm now very suspicious whether this is an early access benefit brought by the breakthrough, or a limited-time experience version."

"Also, even when my control is very strong, I can't control the earth spirit's natural energy. I have no idea why."

Uchiha You spread his hands, half helplessly and half carefreely said: "Anyway, I'm not sure yet, it's really annoying."

Miwa Masayo understood his pride, so she added humorously: "Although it is a trouble, it is also a happy trouble, meow."

Uchiha You nodded in satisfaction when he heard that, stretched out his hand and high-fived the tabby cat's little paw, and then they laughed happily together.

Uchiha You's successful step forward means that the path everyone has chosen is correct and they have a bright future, which is cause for celebration.

As for whether you can gain power after the breakthrough, that is not important. It is certainly gratifying if you have it, but it will not be a big deal if you don’t.

After laughing for a while, Miwa Masayo asked, "Yuu, what are you going to do next, meow?"

Uchiha You turned his head and looked into the distance, where there was a Dopha Natural Kunai that Miwa Masayo helped him to nail, and there was the three-tailed Isobu.

He smiled and said softly, "Let's go back and see what the result of Sanwei's self-inflicted attack was."

After the breakthrough, Uchiha You became more confident. He also had a full understanding of the strength of the Three-Tail, so he naturally wanted to go back and take another look at the Three-Tail.

Not for any other reason, but because there are still some benefits to be gained from Sanwei.

He licked his lips and said to Miwa Masayo: "If there is a chance, I want to taste the left eye of the three-tailed beast. I have never felt the essence of the natural energy of the wind spirit."

Miwa Masayo drooled and made a request: "Give me a share this time, meow."

Uchiha You said as a matter of course: "Don't worry, don't worry, you had to eat it all before for my breakthrough. From now on, I will just taste it. Most of it belongs to Lihua. After all, it is the essence of the natural energy of the wind spirit."

After getting the promise, the tabby cat started to worry about a new problem: "You, my digestive ability is much worse than yours. Can I really eat meow?"

Uchiha You answered confidently: "How can there be something that is inedible? Even if it is not edible directly, I can help you process it into something edible and delicious."

"I just grind the octopus pearls into powder and process them into cat biscuits that you can eat. Have you forgotten the taste?"

"Meow, remember meow, I trust Youmeow the most."

As the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masayo disappeared.

…

Although the battlefield was the sea, it was still a mess after the war. The ice crystal spikes of the Three-Tailed Beast were floating everywhere on the sea, and there was even a lot of flesh and blood of the tailed beasts that were still alive.

Uchiha You stood on the sea, holding a special kunai picked up from the bottom of the sea, looking around, but found nothing.

He tried to sense carefully again, but still couldn't sense the Three-Tails' obvious chakra.

After a long time, Uchiha You said regretfully: "It seems that we will not have a good meal today. The three-tailed Isobu has already run away."

Miwa Masayo nodded in disappointment as well, but she looked around unwillingly and asked, "Will the floating things here be useful, meow?"

"It's not a big hope. These are the bits and pieces that were shaken off the Three-Tails when the tailed beast was about to explode. They are just like our fingernails and hair. They won't be of much use."

"That's such a shame, meow."

Uchiha You touched Miwa Masayo's head, trying to comfort her wounded heart.

Unexpectedly, the tabby cat suddenly stood up and jumped onto Uchiha You's head. She stretched out her paw and pointed forward, asking, "What kind of meow is that? Is it a fish meow?"

Uchiha You followed the direction pointed by Miwa Masayo and looked over there. He immediately saw two high-arched dorsal fins. They were two strange fish covered with sharp scales, swimming quickly in the sea.

This sea area is littered with the debris of the Three-Tailed Beast, and a large amount of the tailed beast's blood has merged into the sea water. Therefore, the sea water is full of the Three-Tailed Beast's chakra, which has a very strong repelling power for ordinary creatures.

Therefore, when Uchiha Yu brought Miwa Masayo back, the sea was quiet and there was no sign of life at all.

These two strange fish completely ignore the chakra of the tailed beasts. They must have a special relationship with the tailed beasts.

"Come on, let's go see if we can catch those two fish."

"Okay meow, if I can't eat Sanwei's wind spirit natural energy essence, let's see if these two fish can eat meow?"

Uchiha You couldn't help but laugh. He was very satisfied with the character of Miwa Masayo, who treated this creature he saw for the first time as food and wondered whether it tasted good or not.

[This is what a Taoist partner who is compatible with me looks like.]

But they were still disappointed. The two strange fish were very alert and extremely timid. When they noticed them approaching, they immediately dived into the seabed and fled thousands of miles away without hesitation.

These two fish have very strange shapes, their bodies are covered with dense spikes, and their fins are short, but their speed underwater is incredibly fast.

Uchiha You didn't even have the chance to get close before the pair of strange fish disappeared without a trace.

Miwa Masayo asked: "What kind of strange fish is this? It looks so weird."

Uchiha You carefully observed the piece of three-tailed meat that was bitten by the strange fish, and then recalled the appearance of the strange fish, he had a guess that was not quite certain.

He rubbed his chin and said to Miwa Masayo, "These two strange fish seem to have come here specifically to eat Sanwei's flesh and blood. They are very special. Judging from their appearance, I think they may be Samehada."

Miwa Masayo asked in confusion: "Samehada, what kind of fish is Samehada?"

Uchiha Yuu emphasized his tone and said again: "The big sword Samehada. It is one of the big swords of the Hidden Mist Village. It is said that the raw material is a special fish called Samehada, which can devour the flesh and chakra of ninjas."

Miwa Masayo was shocked: "I don't know, but this ability seems to be very powerful, meow, just like what you said about the Star Absorbing Technique, meow."

Uchiha You said: "It is indeed powerful to devour the enemy's chakra, but the more powerful one is the Hidden Mist Village. I really want to know how they can make living creatures into living weapons."

"What a pity, we were not able to catch Samehada."

"Otherwise, we can study it carefully. Maybe these characteristics are the characteristics of this fish and have nothing to do with the ninja sword manufacturing technology of the Hidden Mist Village."

Miwa Masayo guessed, "You, what you said makes sense, meow. I think the amazing skill of the Hidden Mist Village is the ability to catch fish, meow."

Uchiha You agreed, "Rika-chan, your guess is very likely. The Hidden Mist Village has been on the sea for decades, so their knowledge of the sea and fishing skills must be very strong."

"ah."

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Orochimaru is here."

“Meow.”

…

Orochimaru's breath was a little weak, but his appearance was much better than Uchiha Yuuka's. His hair was just a little messy and there were two holes in his clothes, but overall he was still very neat.

This made Uchiha You very curious. Will Orochimaru win or lose the battle with Karatachi Yagura?

Orochimaru looked at the sea area, took a deep breath to distinguish the smell in the air, and said with emotion: "Uchiha Yu, it seems that I have to use honorifics to you in the future. You actually beat the Three-Tails away!"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Uchiha You subconsciously blurted out three consecutive denials. Although he dug out one of the Three-Tails' eyes, he did not repel the Three-Tails.

He tried to explain (quibble): "Lord Orochimaru, do you think I can repel the tailed beast in this state?"

"It was me who was beaten up by the three-tailed beast."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha You with a smile and said, "That's strange. If it wasn't you who did it, then who did it?"

"The scent of Sanwei is everywhere here, and its body parts are all over the sea surface. Judging from the spread, Sanwei must have been seriously injured."

Uchiha You shook his head repeatedly and denied it: "I held out for a while under the attack of the Three-Tails, but was eventually forced to retreat. I don't know who drove the Three-Tails away, but it wasn't me."

[I'm not lying: First of all, I really don't have the ability to beat the three-tailed beast away, and secondly, Isobu wanted to leave on his own from the beginning.]

"You make a lot of sense."

Orochimaru seemed to accept Uchiha You's explanation, laughed, and then stopped talking.

But Uchiha You clearly saw that the light in Orochimaru's eyes was extremely deep. Perhaps he also suspected someone else, but his suspicion of Uchiha You had definitely not diminished in the slightest.

[Orochimaru is really suspicious. 】

Uchiha You asked in return: "Lord Orochimaru, you should have caught up with the Fourth Mizukage. Did you capture him?"

When Orochimaru heard this question, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he answered without even looking at him: "I caught up with him, but I couldn't catch him."

"Tsk, the Water Mirror Technique is so annoying."

"Ah, and also, Wanshe died too early, otherwise my chances would be better."

Uchiha You just thought Orochimaru's words of shirking responsibility were just bullshit, and didn't take it seriously at all. He continued to ask, "Lord Orochimaru seems to be in a good mood. You must have received something from the Fourth Mizukage, right?"

"Haha, you are indeed Uchiha You. You guessed right."

"I forced the Fourth Mizukage to promise that the Hidden Mist Village would never provoke any fight within two years."

"Lord Orochimaru, you are kidding me again."

"Haha, you saw through it. Goji Yagura didn't say this to me, but I killed most of the Kirigakure ninjas he brought with him. I deliberately selected my targets."

"I killed all the minor ninjas who didn't have bloodline limits, as well as the civilian ninjas."

"I deliberately let go of the ninjas from the Hozuki family and the Kaguya family, and then killed most of the ninjas from the Snow Clan. The Fourth Mizukage should understand my painstaking efforts."

Uchiha You took a deep breath, Orochimaru was really cruel.

Among the Kirigakure ninjas brought by the Fourth Mizukage, one third were bloodline limit ninjas, one third were minor ninjas, and one third were civilian ninjas who did not even have surnames.

Although Orochimaru could not defeat Karatachi Yagura, he should have had the upper hand in the battle and had a lot of initiative, so he went to slaughter the retreating Mist Ninjas.

If Orochimaru did not lie, according to his killing method, civilian ninjas and small ninjas were severely damaged, and the bloodline limit ninjas once again became a powerful force in the Hidden Mist Village.

In order to prevent the Fourth Mizukage from compromising, Orochimaru deliberately weakened the Snow Clan, creating an obvious weakness among the three major ninja clans to force the Fourth Mizukage to launch an attack.

It's too insidious and the planning is too careful. As long as Karutagi Yagura still has a little ambition to be the master, he can only start the internal strife in the Hidden Mist Village according to Orochimaru's idea.

You have to know that the Hidden Mist Village had just experienced four months of internal strife. After everyone was finally tired of fighting, the winner, the Fourth Mizukage, was decided, and the situation was finally settled smoothly.

If the Hidden Mist Village starts fighting internally again, the new and old grudges will be added together, and the severity of the conflict will reach its maximum.

In addition, the defeat destroyed Karatachi Yagura's prestige, and the Hidden Mist Village lost the constraints of authority.

A new round of internal strife will definitely not be quelled in four months. It is estimated that it will take at least one or two years. After dozens of large and small ninja clans are wiped out, it will slowly subside because there is too much bloodshed and the participants can no longer kill.

In this case, the Fourth Mizukage does not need to swear an oath. He will take the initiative to withdraw all the Kirigakure ninjas and solve internal problems behind closed doors. He will definitely not have the time and energy to cause trouble externally within two years.

Uchiha You raised his thumb to show his acceptance.

When Orochimaru saw that Uchiha You could understand all his calculations, he felt like he had found a close friend and laughed triumphantly.

He even changed his address directly: "Youjun, it's great that you can understand my plan."

…

When the Fourth Mizukage returned to the Hidden Mist Village with his defeated troops, the atmosphere in the entire village immediately became depressing. As the ninjas from the three major ninja clans returned home, the Hidden Mist Village was soon covered by the thick fog created by the Hidden Mist technique.

The murderous aura was brewing in the thick fog, becoming stronger and stronger. The ninjas and villagers seemed to smell the blood, so much so that some villagers fled the Hidden Mist Village.

The Fourth Mizukage stood in his office, the light in his eyes constantly changing, and it was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.

He was considering whether to restart the "Blood Mist Village" policy, risking giving up his bloodline limit family, protecting his power in the Hidden Mist Village, and striving for greater opportunities for the future of the Hidden Mist Village.

The continuous fierce battles have made Goji Yagura exhausted, and the intense thinking has consumed a lot of his energy, and his spirit is gradually weakening.

"That boy Orochimaru did a great job. He created a perfect opportunity for me."

"Who is it?"

Yagura Karuta shouted loudly and reached out to grab the coral staff leaning against the desk, but his hand stopped halfway, and his whole body was as stiff as a sculpture, and his eyes turned into three-magatama Sharingan.

He was controlled by the Sharingan genjutsu.
