White Zetsu praised without thinking: "Madara-sama is really amazing, he controlled the Fourth Mizukage with just one look!"

Black Zetsu asked with concern: "Master Madara, are you okay?"

Uchiha Madara closed his eyes and rested for a long time before his breathing became stable again. He motioned to Black Zetsu to wipe the sweat off his forehead and replied, "Not bad. Karatachi Yagura's spirit has fallen into a trough. I didn't have to use much effort to control him."

A White Zetsu came up to Uchiha Madara without a second thought, and after observing him carefully, he shouted, "Madara-sama, you look terrible."

The next moment, the reckless White Zetsu was flattened by Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara's body had aged to the extreme, so much so that he had to rely on the Outer Path Demon Statue to stay alive.

However, due to the existence of Hashirama's cells, Uchiha Madara's physical strength did not decline. Although he could not fight continuously, he still had the strength to kill White Zetsu with a single blow.

After casually killing a White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara glanced at the other trembling White Zetsu and said coldly: "You are obviously a waste, but you don't even have the awareness of being a waste, and you dare to criticize me!"

"Black Zetsu."

"I am here, Madara-sama."

"Next time I will choose a smarter White Zetsu to revive, and don't let this annoying guy appear in front of me again."

"As you command, Madara-sama."

"Help me keep watch. I want to rewrite Karatachi Yagura's memory to prepare for Obito to control the Hidden Mist Village."

"Please rest assured, I promise that no ninja will come to disturb you."

Uchiha Madara walked in front of Karatachi Yagura, and the patterns in his Sharingan twisted and changed. After opening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he forcibly invaded the brain of the Fourth Mizukage and began to modify his memory and judgment bit by bit, adding irresistible obsessions at key points.

The question of whether the Kistogenetic Ninja Clan must be destroyed in order to protect the Kistogenetic Village has turned into an obsession that every Kistogenetic Ninja with a Kistogenetic Limit must be killed in order to protect the Kistogenetic Village.

The question of whether it was necessary to restart the Blood Mist Village policy in order to effectively deter Kaguya Yoshi turned into the paranoia of restarting the Blood Mist Village policy at all costs in order to kill all the Kaguya family.

The regret of not being able to defeat Orochimaru gave rise to his desire for power, which turned into his obsession with becoming the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

Uchiha Madara edited one line at a time according to his plans for the future, and gradually changed the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta, turning him into a key link in his plan.

The hypnosis method of utilizing the other party's existing thoughts and strengthening them into obsessions is the method that requires the highest technical skills and the lowest strength.

But for Uchiha Madara, it was still an unbearable burden. Soon he began to gasp for breath, and then tears of blood flowed down his face, and his face gradually became as pale as paper.

When Uchiha Madara finished everything, he was so weak that he couldn't stand up at all. His breathing became very weak and he certainly couldn't speak.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu is his "extension of will" and knows what Uchiha Madara needs and what to do next without saying anything.

Under the command of Black Zetsu, a White Zetsu possessed Uchiha Madara's body, transmitting chakra and vitality to him, and acting like an exoskeleton instead of Uchiha Madara.

With the help of White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara successfully left the Hidden Mist Village and returned to the underground base at the junction of the Land of Grass, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Fire.

When the black tube was connected to Uchiha Madara's back, his condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. His skin became white and smooth, his face became rosy, and his breathing became smooth and strong, as if he had recovered his health.

But Uchiha Madara knew that all this was just an illusion.

He uses the connection between himself and the Outer Path Statue to extract Nagato's chakra and life from a distance, so that he can maintain his current state of health.

Moreover, this time when he went out, without the support of the Outer Path Statue, he forcibly used the Mangekyō Sharingan, which brought Uchiha Madara's body to the brink of complete collapse.

Even the White Zetsu possession could only keep him immortal, but could not allow him to recover even a little bit, which meant that the next time the black pipe was disconnected, it would be the time when Uchiha Madara died.

Uchiha Madara sighed deeply. He was not afraid of death, not at all.

Is life interesting the way he lives now?

Maybe those fat and bloated daimyos are willing to live like this, and delay it for as long as possible, but he Uchiha Madara definitely can't stand it.

The reason why he was living a miserable life was because there was still one link missing in his plan.

He was missing a Uchiha junior who could inherit his will and carry forward the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. If this person appeared today, Uchiha Madara would disconnect the black tube without hesitation and face death calmly.

You have to know that what he is consuming now is Nagato's chakra and life, which is extremely serious harm to Nagato and is the last straw that causes his continued weakness.

There are too many things hanging on Nagato now, the Rinnegan that requires a long time to cultivate, and the Gaiden Demon Statue that requires a huge amount of chakra.

With Uchiha Madara dying for his life, no matter how strong Nagato's physique is, he can't withstand such bone-sucking pressure.

The sooner the successor can be found, the sooner he can go to the Pure Land to rest, and the sooner Nagato can breathe a sigh of relief. After that, various plans, including his resurrection progress, can also be advanced by one day.

Uchiha Madara thought of this and shouted: "Black Zetsu!"

Black Zetsu emerged silently from the shadows under Uchiha Madara's feet like a most qualified servant, bowed respectfully and said, "Master Madara, what can I do for you?"

Uchiha Madara asked: "Have you confirmed the people in the Uchiha family who have the potential to awaken the Mangekyō?"

Black Zetsu replied, "Yes, Madara-sama, I have confirmed it."

"Yes." Uchiha Madara made a seal with his hands, and a stone pillar rose from the ground. He sat down quite relaxedly, and then ordered: "Tell me, I can't leave here anymore, and I have enough time to listen to your detailed description."

"Yes, Madara-sama."

Black Zetsu didn't need any documents, and began to narrate based entirely on his memory: "First is Uchiha Kazuma, 29 years old..."

Uchiha Madara interrupted Black Zetsu immediately after hearing his age. He said flatly: "This one won't work. He's too old. Next one."

"Yes, Madara-sama."

"The next one is Uchiha Ryuichi, 21 years old, a jonin, has awakened the three-magatama Sharingan, and is in the security force..."

…

Orochimaru and Uchiha Yuu tested each other with various topics. The battle of intelligence, eloquence and cheekiness lasted for more than ten rounds, and both of them began to get impatient.

[Meow, it's really annoying to argue with a shameless bastard! ]

[Damn Uchiha Yuu, he's so smooth that I want to strangle him to death, who taught him that? ]

In the end, it was Orochimaru who spoke first: "Uchiha Yuu, I want your Tiger Force's full set of tactics, what do you want?"

Uchiha You smiled happily, and he said straightforwardly: "Lord Orochimaru, I want the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

Orochimaru nodded immediately: "Deal!"

Uchiha You pulled out a sealed scroll from his bosom. After removing the seal, more than twenty handwritten volumes were revealed.

He patted the pile of notes and handed them directly to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was shocked by Uchiha You's actions. He smiled grimly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll turn against you after I take your things?"

Uchiha You returned the favor with a hearty smile and said, "Lord Orochimaru is the smartest ninja in Konoha Village, so I am not afraid."

Uchiha You's calmness and self-confidence made Orochimaru's heart skip a beat. He described himself as "the smartest" instead of "the most trustworthy", implying that he was capable of ensuring the execution of the transaction and was not worried at all that Orochimaru would cheat.

Moreover, Orochimaru understood that there was only one ability that could truly guarantee the execution of a transaction, and that was - violence!

While he was secretly shocked, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He knew that Uchiha You was indeed very powerful. He was able to entangle the Three-Tails that had broken free from the seal, and was able to survive the attack of the Tailed Beast Ball. His strength had surpassed that of most jonin.

But this young Uchiha is only 18 years old after all. How could he be violent enough to make him carry out the transaction honestly?

Orochimaru is a genuine Kage-level ninja, and the best among them. If you want him to trade honestly, you have to be at least a Kage-level ninja.

A few years later, when Orochimaru had worn himself out and his strength had severely declined, he didn't care about the elite jonin Hatake Kakashi and didn't think he was a trouble.

With Uchiha Yu's wisdom and caution, his hint to Orochimaru was actually an announcement: I am already a Kage-level ninja.

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha You, his eyes gradually became sharper, while Uchiha You, who was stared at by him, was very relaxed, and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant.

"I see."

Orochimaru bit his finger, formed a seal and performed a summoning technique, summoning a short and thick python.

The python opened its mouth and spit out hundreds of scrolls of various sizes. The key point was that those scrolls were all covered with sticky white mucus.

Miwa Masayo and Uchiha You covered their mouths at the same time and took half a step back together.

Orochimaru was picking out the records of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique from the scroll, and when he saw their actions, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

If any other ninja did this, Orochimaru would ignore them when he was in a good mood, and kill them when he was in a bad mood. They are nothing more than ants, and there is no need to care about their feelings.

But Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masaya are different. They are regarded as equals by Orochimaru, and their feelings cannot be ignored.

So when handing the ninjutsu scroll to Uchiha Yu, Orochimaru explained a few words very seriously: "This is a protective liquid to prevent the scroll from decaying. It doesn't smell at all."

When Uchiha You took the scroll from Orochimaru, he found that the mucus had indeed disappeared completely, without even leaving any trace.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. Now that the slime had disappeared, he no longer felt nauseous and opened the scroll to read it carefully.

After just a few glances, Uchiha You confirmed that this scroll was not just the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, but also Orochimaru's research notes.

It includes the original version by Tobirama Senju, the four-stage version improved by Orochimaru, and most importantly, Orochimaru's various thoughts on this forbidden technique.

He put the scroll away with satisfaction and said to Orochimaru, "Happy cooperation."

Orochimaru had also completed a preliminary review of the tactical notes at this time. He was deeply attracted by the simple and exquisite tactics recorded in them, and was even more shocked by the systematic thinking content.

After reading some descriptions involving the theory of contradiction, Orochimaru experienced the feeling of "unclear but powerful" for the first time in his life, so much so that he began to suspect that there was a wise man behind Uchiha You.

After hearing what Uchiha You said, he asked back: "You mean, there will be another exchange?"

Uchiha You answered seriously: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru, there will be another exchange."

Orochimaru was silent for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Just as the two of them packed up their things and prepared to leave the battlefield, Orochimaru suddenly said: "As a partner, I remind you to be prepared."

Hearing this nonsensical sentence, Uchiha You was not surprised. He asked: "I know, how much time do I have?"

"One month at most."

“Thanks for your help.”

To be honest, what Uchiha You did this time was not more exaggerated than what he did in the past four months. Unfortunately, among the Kirigakure ninjas defeated this time, there was the new Fourth Mizukage, and more importantly, the first Jinchūriki of the Kirigakure Village.

Defeating the Kage of the Adult Village and repelling the Jinchūriki was the greatest achievement in the ninja world. Orochimaru had no way to cover it up by playing words and could only report it to the Third Hokage as it was.

Under the shining light of the two losers, Uchiha You will be completely exposed to the eyes of the Third Hokage, and will then usher in a series of feedbacks.

Leaving the Land of Hot Springs and the Tiger Corps is inevitable, and there is a high probability that he will be transferred directly back to Konoha Village and hidden from then on, allowing his reputation to gradually fade.

Fortunately, Orochimaru had just promised that he would help delay the report and buy Uchiha You a month.

Uchiha You was grateful for Orochimaru's help from the bottom of his heart, because this month was very important to him.

The breakthrough in the foundation-building period ended, but the changes in his body did not stop.

After the five spirits are complete, the natural energy reintegrates in the meridians. The fusion process is very slow, and it is obvious that some kind of power is gestating.

Affected by the changes in natural energy, the chakras in the body's cells also show a tendency to merge.

The Dantian is changing, the Zifu is changing, and the five major heart shapes are changing.

Uchiha You really needed some time to wait for all the fusion, gestation and changes to be completed.

In addition, he was concerned about two things.

First of all, there is the evil god of the Land of Hot Springs. Uchiha Yu has already benefited from the evil god and has touched the power of Susanoo in advance without awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This proves that the evil god really exists and is related to the ultimate power of the Uchiha family. He cannot just turn a blind eye to it.

Before returning to Konoha Village, he must try to contact the evil god again, and it would be best if he could find a way to contact the evil god anytime and anywhere.

Another thing that Uchiha Yuu was concerned about was the tiankeng in Kubota Village.

The big hole he dug himself connected to a huge and complex underground cave. He didn't feel anything special at the time, but later he could always think of this cave, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

As time went by, Uchiha You's intuition became stronger and stronger, and he was convinced that there was a big secret in that underground cave.

When he determined that the underground cave was suspicious, he was really shocked.

To be honest, this is no small matter.

Since Uchiha You started cultivating immortals, he has been able to practice and survive until today, all thanks to his judgment of the pleasure and pain of his body, as well as the guidance of his intuition. The accuracy and sharpness of his intuition have been tested many times. If he made a mistake once, it would be difficult for him to survive until today.

However, his intuition, which he relied on so much, did not reveal anything in that huge underground cave. Instead, it only began to provide feedback a month after he was away, and as the time spent away increased, his intuition became stronger.

Uchiha You was sure that there was nothing wrong with his intuition, but there was something wrong with the underground cave!

There was power there that could overpower his instincts.

He had to go down again and explore the cave inside and out.

These two things must be resolved before returning to the village. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to always keep them in mind. If it becomes an obsession over time, that would be bad.

Of course, there is one last very important thing, the transfer of power within the Tiger Force.

But where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

There are also various conflicts of interest within the Tiger Force, as well as different disputes and conflicts.

When Uchiha Yuu was there, the Tiger Force could be considered a whole.

Because it was he who founded the study group, guiding these lower-level Uchiha to open their eyes and bringing them unlimited hope.

When these Uchiha were sent to the Land of Hot Springs and were at a loss and in a state of panic in the face of the Kirigakure Ninjas who were trying to restrain them, it was Uchiha Yu who organized them into the Tiger Force.

Uchiha You led them to be invincible and had no shortage of success on the battlefield. They killed gods and ghosts, creating an unprecedented record.

In sharp contrast, the members of the study club who were sent to the Rain Country were almost wiped out in the defeat, and in the end only one person returned to Konoha Village alive.

Such an extreme contrast between the two sides allowed Uchiha You to gain unprecedented prestige and hold absolute power in the Tiger Force.

But under Uchiha Yuu, the so-called number two, Uchiha Shigenobu, could not suppress the three of Uchiha Kazusa, Uchiha Tadamichi, and Uchiha Hiroto.

Under these four, each team captain has his own group, and even the squad captains form their own groups. There are many conflicts between these small teams.

Although the Tiger Unit has less than 300 people, the internal conflicts are still very complicated.

Uchiha Youzai is able to suppress everyone and bring huge benefits to everyone. He naturally unites all the Uchiha under his command, and they behave like one person.

But after he left, no one could gain the recognition of everyone, contradictions would emerge, combat effectiveness would naturally decline, external benefits would naturally decrease, and then contradictions would further erupt.

In order to prevent the Tiger Force from entering this vicious spiral, Uchiha Yu needs to make special arrangements.
