The four ninjas were wearing the most ordinary ninja uniforms and did not wear forehead protectors to prove that they were not rebel ninjas.
They had no protective vests, nor dedicated ninja tool bags. The few shurikens, senbons, and kunai they had were all inserted directly into their belts.
Although the elbows, wrists, ankles and knees were wrapped in bandages, signs of damage could still be seen on the shoulders, hem, buttocks and other exposed parts.
These four ninjas could not hide their miserable appearance, the word "poor" was almost written on their faces.
But their movements were concise and sophisticated. Their tactical moves during ambushes and their control of distance during encirclement were all very accurate. They were definitely veterans among the wandering ninjas.
The leading ninja said, "My friend, if you don't want to be besieged by us, you should show your identity. We are not villains who kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Uchiha Yuu didn't believe a word the ninja said.
Although the four ninjas looked poor, each of them was filled with murderous intent, and their eyes were always fixed on Uchiha You's vital points.
Their eyes were filled with indifference and cruelty, and at the same time, they were filled with a desire for blood.
Uchiha You had seen this kind of look in the eyes of many Kirigakure ninjas in the past six months. Especially when the two sides were fighting to the last moment, the battlefield was full of corpses, and the smell of blood was so pungent that it made people dizzy, almost all the Kirigakure ninjas had this kind of look in their eyes.
The first time Uchiha You saw them, he knew that these guys were all bloodthirsty bastards and none of them were innocent.
Since they were the scum of the ninja world, he didn't consider them as human beings and decided to kill them without caring about them.
Moreover, Uchiha You was not trying to lure these four ninjas. He was neither surprised nor happy, and just said one word in a bland manner according to his pseudonymous character: "Get lost."
Without any nonsense, the four ninjas took out shurikens and senbons and were about to attack Uchiha You, but their speed was obviously too slow.
Just as their hands touched their waists, Uchiha You stretched out his right hand, turned his palm upward, and a golden ball of lightning emerged.
Immortal Magic·Thunder Spirit·Palm Thunder
With the blast of thunder from the blue sky, the four ninjas were struck by four bolts of lightning before they could raise their throwing weapons.
The powerful electric current accurately attacked their hearts. The power of lightning was not wasted at all and it accurately blew the hearts into pieces.
Death from a crushed heart is extremely quick, usually taking just a dozen seconds for a person to die completely.
But what brings death faster is the residual electric current after the broken heart, which spreads along the blood vessels and nerves with the heart as the center.
At 0.01 seconds, the weak electric current first reaches the brain along the nerves and directly paralyzes the brain, but as the nerve lines are broken, it cannot cause more severe damage to the brain.
At 0.15 seconds, the main force of the electric current reaches the brain along the blood vessels. The strong electric current runs rampant in the brain, tearing the dendrites of each cranial nerve.
At 0.21 seconds, brain death.
The four ninjas died without any pain. Their movements were even frozen at the moment of death. Their expressions remained as ferocious as when they launched the attack. They didn't realize that they were being attacked at all.
After killing four poor wandering ninjas who were not even Genin, Uchiha You cast his gaze towards a nearby tree and said coldly, "Come out, or I will kill you."
When Uchiha You left the gold exchange, he unexpectedly discovered that an extremely strange aura was following him.
This breath is full of the flavor of nature, but it is not the vibrant nature, but a mutated nature that is decaying and dying but still alive, like a zombie cicada parasitized by fungi.
This smell is not unfamiliar. He once felt it up close with the help of his [All-Seeing Mind's Eye]. It is the unique smell of White Zetsu, but it is a little different.
A strange black and white grass grew out from the root of the big tree, and in the middle of the grass was a strange man in black and white.
[It feels right, it is indeed White Zetsu, but I didn't expect Black Zetsu to be there too. 】
[What a pity! It will be difficult to hunt White Zetsu like this.]
Black Zetsu spoke first: "As far as I know, there has never been a ninja like you in the ninja world. Your power does not seem to belong to the category of chakra. Who are you?"
Uchiha You clenched his right fist, crushed the golden thunder ball, and said indifferently: "My name has been forgotten, but you can call me Thunder God."
The shattered thunder ball turned into countless golden electric sparks, spreading everywhere in the air, making crackling sounds, and interacting with Uchiha You's indifferent words, creating tremendous pressure.
He raised his head, his eyes, which were rendered golden by the natural energy of the Thunder Spirit, stared at Black Zetsu through the shadow of his hat: "So, who are you?"
Black Zetsu's expression became extremely serious and gloomy. He could not feel any chakra fluctuations from this mysterious man who called himself the God of Thunder, which made him unable to judge what the other party's power was.
The most important thing is that he also felt the divinity, which is the characteristics of the gods active behind the cult in the Kingdom of Hot Springs. Is he really a god?
It's not impossible.
Black Zetsu thought secretly that those gods who were hunted down and killed by Otsutsuki Hagoromo did not use chakra at all, but used natural energy and the power of faith. The mysterious man in front of him really looked like a so-called god.
Black Zetsu had a lot to think about, but his thoughts were very fast. He finished his thoughts in the blink of an eye and answered without any disobedience: "I am the will of Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World."
"Uchiha Madara, the strongest ninja of the Uchiha clan, is he still alive?"
[This bastard is really good at pretending. Even if he's not in front of Uchiha Madara, he can still pretend to be very lifelike. No wonder he was able to stir up such a big storm within a thousand years.]
[At least this actor's accomplishment can be said to be perfect. ]
"Of course Madara-sama is alive. How could a ninja guess his power?"
Uchiha You showed no interest in this and asked again: "What do you want to do by following me?"
Black Zetsu immediately said, "Lord Madara wishes to invite you to join his great plan."
"Not interested." Uchiha You lowered his head, and the bamboo hat covered his eyes again, "Don't follow me anymore, or I'll kill you."
After saying that, he continued to move forward step by step.
Black Zetsu closed his mouth and stopped trying to persuade him, nor did he make any move to chase after him. He just watched Uchiha You leave quietly.
There are conditions for recruiting people to join a gang. Either the person being persuaded is very interested and joins in voluntarily, or the persuader has a strong fist and convinces the other party with reason and evidence (physics).
Black Zetsu is the third son created directly by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. His level of power is extremely high, but the total amount of power is extremely low. He has no ability to convince a guy who is suspected of resurrecting a god.
It was not until Uchiha You completely disappeared from sight that Black Zetsu left White Zetsu and quietly blended into the darkness.
The released White Zetsu chased in the direction Uchiha You left.
…
The world is clear and bright, and then there is a bolt of lightning.
A flash of lightning was born from the void, winding downwards and magically entering a huge hole.
After a loud bang, smoke, rubble, flames, electric sparks and thick steam erupted upward from the cavity like a volcanic eruption.
This is Uchiha Yuu attacking the third cult, which is also the largest of the three.
The cults all chose underground caves as their nests and sacrificial halls, which perfectly captures the characteristics of the cult.
Uchiha You destroyed two evil cults in succession, but the gods behind the other cults became cowards, cut off contact immediately, drained the spirit of the cult leaders, and escaped.
This cannot be blamed on the evil gods. Facing an enemy who can create thunder with a wave of his hand and lightning with a stamp of his foot, the evil gods are afraid of lightning. How many of them have the courage to fight against an enemy who can control lightning?
What's more, Uchiha You was wearing the guise of Thunder God. He had a deep understanding of the essence of Thunder God and exuded a divine aura from beginning to end.
In the eyes of the weak evil gods, Uchiha You looked like the same kind as themselves, but he was a natural enemy who came to hunt them.
Fight a leg!
When a mouse encounters a tabby cat coming to dig a hole, its first reaction is of course to slip away from behind it.
Only the strongest mice, and those that are blocked and unable to escape, will fight back against the cat.
Therefore, Uchiha You's two consecutive actions came to nothing, and he didn't even get the evil god.
After a series of failures, he figured it out and no longer deliberately disguised his divine temperament. He instead used more of the power of chakra to hide his natural energy.
During the third raid on the cult, which was also the largest and most powerful, Uchiha You deliberately suppressed his own strength, fighting in a sloppy and slow manner.
In this way, Uchiha You is no longer a threat in the eyes of the evil god, and he seems to be very attractive no matter how he looks at him.
First of all, as a ninja, the strength he displayed was really not that good. Facing a group of ordinary humans who fought back desperately, he actually had a hard time fighting. It was obvious that he was not even qualified to be a Genin.
Then, as a person, he showed an energetic and radiant spirit, just like a plate of golden fried rice, fragrant and delicious without making your teeth ache.
Normally, the evil god would not be deceived by such a simple trap, but he was too hungry and too weak, and he was too far away from the enemy in order to avoid them, so collecting information was a big problem.
The traps that these gods saw from a distance were not simple or not, but they could only vaguely see that there was such a delicious and soft food.
All I can say is that in the ninja world, intelligence is indeed the first element in combat. In order to avoid the enemy, these gods hid their tentacles tightly, but ended up hurting themselves.
As a result, the cult leader was infused with the power of the evil god and transformed into a four-meter-tall kappa, with the intention of taking down Uchiha You.
The power infused to this extent is enough for Uchiha You. Since God has handed over his tail, he must follow the tail and grab His body.
And God finally saw clearly that the food that looked so tempting was actually his damn natural enemy. Naturally, he had to cut off its tail immediately to survive.
But it's too late.
Uchiha You's mental power seemed scattered, but he was actually gathering the natural energy of the thunder spirit in nature. When he saw the god's flaw, he launched an attack without hesitation.
Immortal Spell·Thunder Spirit·Five Thunderstrikes
There was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and chain lightning struck simultaneously. The giant kappa was turned into charcoal on the spot, and the power of God was also dispersed by the lightning, and it was difficult to recover it for a while.
Uchiha You said with emotion: "Finally caught your tail."
What followed was the initial chain of lightning, which killed all the members of the cult. These villains turned into ashes in the dazzling thunder, and in the end only the monster that had transformed into a kappa was left.
Uchiha You cut off the Kappa monster's limbs and planted it in a big pit. Then he touched the Kappa's bare head and entered its spiritual world.
Similar to the monster last time, it is still a broken spiritual world, but the difference is that the god who occupies the world did not kill the host, and the head that probed into the world was also shattered by thunder and is struggling to reassemble.
Most of God's body is still outside the world, and He is not just a head. After seeing Uchiha Yu in human form, God was horrified and asked tremblingly: "You, you, who are you?"
Uchiha You's mind raced, and he immediately asked back: "You are not a god of death either, so who are you?"
God was obviously stunned. His three heads that were still free looked strange and answered in succession:
"Death is dead."
"Death is not completely dead."
"His soul was taken away."
"The God of Death's Godhead is shattered."
"There are many Death Gods now."
"He merged completely with death."
The three heads were intertwined, and the illogical descriptive words gave Uchiha You a headache.
After struggling to sort out the logic between these words, Uchiha You asked again: "Who are you?"
"I am Dongliu Jun, the god of all streams and rivers." x3
"River God... How dare you call yourself the god of all flowing water? You really don't know how to live or die."
"I am not the god of one river. I am the gathering of the gods of hundreds of rivers. Naturally, I am the god of all flowing water."
Uchiha You's eyes widened. This was actually a stitched monster god. Many river gods in the ninja world were gathered together and merged into one with the help of the power of gods to resist the crisis of extinction.
He was deeply impressed by his luck. He was so lucky that he could encounter such a perfect prey after only two failures.
Uchiha You's high-profile search for God was because after his first close contact with God, he had a preliminary understanding of God after more than four months of careful research.
Since the god in front of him could communicate, Uchiha You was unwilling to start hunting immediately, but instead wanted to obtain more information through conversation.
Unexpectedly, this god was very talkative and chattered on and on about a lot of unheard-of information, which made Uchiha You extremely happy.
It turns out that God was born from human faith. When human groups have common needs, the spiritual power that comes together is faith.
The power of faith is very weak, but the spiritual power full of desire is fused with natural energy, and the final product is a natural energy life that can think, that is, God.
They are the native inhabitants of the Ninja World.
Former indigenous people.
But with the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, everything changed drastically.
Those weak gods who could only live in shrines, as well as the demon gods such as weasels and wild boars who regarded themselves as divine bodies, had no power to resist the Otsutsuki.
The once prosperous Shintoism that boasted eight million gods was destroyed, and countless gods died.
Even the powerful concept god was no match for the Otsutsuki clan. It was defeated and had to lie dormant.
Later, unprecedented changes took place in the ninja world. The chakra, a special power of the Otsutsuki clan, spread to the ninja world. It not only replaced natural energy to become the dominant supernatural power, but also thoroughly penetrated into every corner of the world.
As a product of pure natural energy, gods cannot absorb and utilize chakra. Even natural energy mixed with a trace of chakra is highly toxic to gods.
They are like the ancient anaerobic bacteria that emerged after the emergence of blue algae and were poisoned by the ubiquitous oxygen of the new era.
Chakra seriously hinders the connection between God and natural energy. In order to survive, God can only increase his demands for faith. Excessive extraction will cause believers to collapse and eventually decline completely.
As chakra was spread by the Six Paths Sage, chakra gradually gained the upper hand and forced the gods into a desperate situation.
So the gods started a frantic effort to save themselves.
Some gods were poisoned by chakra before they could do anything, and they completely fell and disappeared;
Some gods were extremely arrogant and launched a desperate counterattack against the Otsutsuki clan, but were all killed and their corpses were made into various sacred artifacts and tailed beasts.
"The Tailed Beasts! You said the Tailed Beasts were made from the corpses of Gods?"
"Yes, I have seen the Nine-Tails. I can smell the scent of Tamamonomae from its chakra. The other tailed beasts should be similar."
"I see, it turns out to be so... As expected."
Uchiha You breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the Six Paths Sage's level was not as high as he had imagined. This was really cause for celebration.
Among the deeds of the Six Paths Sage, the most terrifying thing is not the creation of the moon by Chibaku Tensei, but the disassembly of the Ten Tails to create the nine tailed beasts.
This is the great supernatural power that creates life and holds the authority of creation.
Whenever he thought about who held this power in mythology, Uchiha You couldn't help but feel fear.
There are only the great goddess Nuwa who created human beings and the great god Houtu who created reincarnation. What a great existence they are.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all. What the Six Paths Sage did was not to create life, but to graft the power of the Ten Tails onto the corpse of the god.
Although it is still scary, it is no longer unchallengeable.
Just as Uchiha You was concentrating on thinking, the broken head of the river god was quietly pieced together and approached silently, while the other three heads quietly stretched their necks and approached the spiritual world while telling the secrets of God.
The river god took advantage of Uchiha You's eyes closed in thought and suddenly launched an attack.
"Hahahaha, go to hell and become my food!"
The chin of the head in the world popped out and attacked Uchiha Yu like a water scorpion.
The three heads outside the world smashed the world barrier and rushed towards Uchiha You from the left, middle and right.
Four heads and four different attack methods hit Uchiha You almost at the same time.
However, all attacks were blocked by a transparent barrier.
