Uchiha You raised his head and looked at the four heads of different styles in front of him. Some had the jaws of dragonfly larvae and scorpions, some had the winch-shaped round mouths of leeches, some had the serrated mouths of piranhas, and some had the crushing mouthparts of crabs.

He said disappointedly: "In the spiritual world, they actually use the primitive methods of insects, fish, and crabs to attack."

“Is this God?”

"You really have no imagination at all. You deserve to perish."

As Uchiha You spoke, his body began to glow and suddenly expanded to an indescribable height. His appearance was changing at a very fast speed.

As the light went out, a tall and agile figure appeared in front of the river god. He was wearing bright golden armor and a shining golden crown on his head. He held a golden hoop in his hand and wore cloud shoes that matched his appearance. He had a pair of strange eyes like stars and his ears were hard and long.

Heart-Shaped Monkey King

"Hehehe, this is what a battle of the mind should be like."

"Take this stick from me, Old Sun!"

The confused river god raised his neck stupidly, watching motionlessly as the enemy raised a giant pillar that rolled down with wind and thunder, smashing down on him like the sky was falling.

Boom——

The spiritual world of the monster that transformed into Kappa, under this indescribable terrifying blow, was broken into countless pieces and shattered along with the river god.

Just one attack was enough to exhaust Uchiha You to the point of death, and he could no longer maintain his heart-shaped existence.

The Monkey King didn't even have the chance to reveal his true face before he turned into countless golden lights and returned to Uchiha Yu's body.

When the spiritual world collapsed, the Kappa monster began the process of death, but when the god was shattered, it began the process of automatic resurrection.

Uchiha You took the opportunity to capture them. He only needed to grab the most core structures and piece them together. The spirits of the gods would swarm towards the seal constructed by Uchiha You like birds returning to their nests.

At the last moment before the spiritual world collapsed, Uchiha You returned to his purple palace with the fully formed god.

In his own territory, Uchiha You's spiritual power exploded. Driven by his will, the heavy seals turned into a shallow white porcelain basin and a basin of clear and transparent pure water.

At this time, there was a small monster with four heads, six tails and two claws in the basin. It was swimming around the edge of the basin at a high speed in panic, as if looking for the exit of an endless maze.

After several days of evolution, there was no longer any vacant space in the Zifu world, and all the land and water had owners.

Xiao Ke, the cave octopus, was the one who arrived first, but now he can only work hard to take care of Shen Kun's body in exchange for the right to reside in the North Sea.

However, Xiao Ke's existence caused dissatisfaction among the heart shapes, and the other heart shapes seemed to want to get wings of their own.

Therefore, after the River God came to the Zifu World as the second telepathic creature, he aroused the covetousness of the Heart Shape.

Uchiha You, who was about to leave after completing the seal, saw the fierce look in the eyes of Spleen Pig and the concerned looks of the others, and he knew that something was wrong.

He held the basin in his hands, ready to find a temporary safe place for the river god.

This is a god that we have captured with great difficulty, and it is also a stitched monster of multiple gods that best suits our needs, so there can be no mistakes.

After looking around, Uchiha You shook his head helplessly. There was no more space on the Purple Mansion Land.

So he climbed up a step and walked towards the sky.

As Uchiha You's pace gradually increased, white clouds gathered under his feet, gradually covering a large area of ​​the sky, like a vast expanse of white snow.

According to Uchiha You's expectations, the white clouds float lightly in the sky, but can carry real objects, becoming an area that the five heart shapes cannot reach.

He gently placed the basin on the white clouds, then left the Purple Palace and returned to the real world.

The moment Uchiha You opened his eyes, countless arcs of electricity burst out from his body. Lightning struck the ground violently, and massive amounts of electric charge instantly covered the earth.

A White Zetsu was hit by the electric charge and screamed in pain. It was squeezed out from the ground with its whole body twitching, and was grabbed by the neck by Uchiha You.

He said coldly: "I said, if you dare to follow me again, I will kill you."

Uchiha You gently exerted force with his fingers, and broke White Zetsu's neck with a snap. Then a flash of lightning flashed, blowing White Zetsu into pieces, and then he left behind the remains of White Zetsu that was emitting black smoke.

Under the cover of the discarding action, at an angle where no one could see, Uchiha You inserted his thumb into the back of White Zetsu's neck and silently engraved the Flying Thunder God Mark.

Two hours after he left, the pieces of White Zetsu flesh scattered on the ground began to wriggle, slowly approaching each other and combining into larger pieces of flesh.

After a whole night of hard work, a tattered White Zetsu was resurrected. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to nervously shout, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

“Oh, this feels so good!”

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground unnoticed, silently covered White Zetsu's body, and read his memory.

After a while, Black Zetsu exclaimed: "He is really hunting down the evil god. Could he really be a resurrected god?"

"God is also the enemy of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. There should be a chance to pull Him into the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan."

"But how to do it?"

"Hmm? This White Zetsu is dying? The quality of this White Zetsu is still good. It's worth sending it back for maintenance and getting a new one to possess."

"Hehe, let me tell Uchiha Madara about the appearance of Thunder God. Don't let me be the only one with the headache."

…

In a wild hot spring in the Land of Hot Springs, Uchiha You lay openly in the boiling hot spring water, enjoying the impact of the gurgling bubbles leisurely.

By the pool, Miwa Masayo was enjoying a salad of boiled eggs in hot springs and chopped octopus.

Because the sulfur smell of the hot spring has penetrated into the egg whites, this salad tastes very unbearable to humans, but for the cat fairy, it is a novel, stimulating and unique taste.

There's even a feeling that the more you eat, the more addicted you become.

Miwa Masayo ate happily with a loud noise. Uchiha You smiled, closed his eyes and concentrated, once again sensing the Flying Thunder God Mark that he had left behind.

"Tsk, the location has moved. That White Zetsu is indeed not dead."

"Really? He's been beaten like that, but he's still alive?"

"It should not be dead. This may be a very special White Zetsu. As long as we follow its trail, we will definitely be able to find Uchiha Madara's trail."

"You, think carefully, do you really want to cause trouble for Uchiha Madara, meow? He is Uchiha Madara, meow."

"Uchiha Madara dealt me ​​a ruthless blow through the Three-Tails, forcing me to fight with a 60% chance of winning. How can I be content without taking revenge!"

Miwa Masayo emphasized again: "He is Uchiha Madara-neko."

Uchiha You raised his eyebrows, counted the years with his fingers, and then said seriously: "It doesn't matter, Uchiha Madara should be dying of old age now. I can't beat the Shura of the Ninja World in his prime, so I can't bully the dying Uchiha Madara?"

"Besides, I know the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if I can't beat him, can't I just run away?"

"Once I find him, I will send my shadow clones to trouble him every now and then. No matter how powerful Uchiha Madara is, I don't believe he can be so powerful that he can still fight before he dies."

Miwa Masayo joked, "What if he's so powerful that we can't defeat him even when we're dying?"

"Well, then I will dig out a piece of his flesh, and then use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive him, and give him the worst sacrifice. This way I can finally get my revenge, right?"

The tabby cat was stunned, and it took him a long time to utter half a sentence: "...It should be possible, meow."

Uchiha You raised his head and submerged all of his body except his face under the water, and said with emotion: "I hope to find Uchiha Madara soon. After that, I have to hurry to Kubota Village."

"In the Land of Hot Springs and Water, this is the only thing that concerns me."

"Once everything is dealt with, I can return to Konoha Village with peace of mind."

Miwa Masayo asked in surprise: "Really, there is nothing to worry about?"

"Indeed, there is no more. I have eaten what I should have eaten and seen what I should have seen."

"I've seen the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Kaguya's Corpse Veins, the Snow Clan's Ice Release, and the Kidō Clan's Water Transformation Technique. I've also seen the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, and the AB combination."

"But there's one thing I haven't figured out, meow."

"Hey, what about Rika-chan?"

Uchiha You sat up in surprise, searched his memory carefully, and soon found the thing that troubled Miwa Masaya.

That was when they first arrived in the Land of Hot Springs. At that time, Miwa Masayo felt depressed all the time, as if something strange made her feel very uncomfortable.

It was not until Uchiha Yuu took Miwa Masayo out to sea for the first time that she felt less uncomfortable when they were on the ocean.

Later, when she returned to the Land of Hot Springs and led the Uchiha people to form the Tiger Corps, Miwa Masayo no longer had that uncomfortable feeling that made her feel uncomfortable.

Now that this topic is brought up again, does it mean that the feeling that made the cat fairy uncomfortable has appeared again?

Miwa Masayo nodded without hesitation and said, "It was these two days, meow, that I started to feel unwell again, meow."

The tabby cat scratched its ears with its claws, and then said: "But this time I obviously don't feel as depressed as last time, meow, it feels..."

She raised her head, puffed out her chest, and said proudly, "My strength has increased, and my tolerance for oppression has become stronger."

"Rika-chan is amazing!"

Uchiha You praised Miwa Masayo generously, saying that the cat fairy was really amazing. After watching her breakthrough process from afar, she actually also made a major breakthrough, changing the harmonization ratio of her own fairy chakra from 1:1 to 1:3.

Now one portion of chakra can mobilize three portions of natural energy, greatly increasing the total amount of senjutsu chakra of Miwa Masayoshi. She is finally able to use projection-type senjutsu.

The number of times and types of magic arts that the Cat Fairy can use have doubled, so her strength has naturally increased a lot.

The most important thing is that the change in the ratio of fairy chakra represents that Miwa Masayo's understanding of fairy arts has deepened. Her understanding of fairy arts has increased, and the power has directly increased several times.

However, she still felt depressed, which meant that the source of the pressure was still a threat to the Cat Fairy.

Uchiha You stood up from the hot spring, the natural energy of water spirits surrounding him, instantly making his body dry again.

He calmly put on his clothes, hid various weapons, props, scrolls and other items, and finally put on his most familiar blue-gray coat.

Uchiha You stretched his body and confirmed that his physical condition had recovered to its best. He said, "Lihua-chan, while we have time now, let's find the source of your discomfort."

"Whatever it is, or whoever it is, we have to know it."

Miwa Masayo swallowed the last of the hot spring egg in two or three bites, jumped up and landed on the shoulder of his special seat, and said while cleaning up, "Let's go!"

"After I became stronger, I could vaguely feel the focus of that feeling. Let's go and see what it is."

…

22 days later, Orochimaru's report on repelling the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, after a bumpy submission process, finally arrived on the desk of the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen specially lit a pot of cigarettes and watched the rare victory report, enjoying it happily.

He read almost word for word, a happy smile blooming on his face, not caring at all about the wrinkles on his face that could not be erased.

As he watched, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile disappeared.

He put out his pipe, read several pages carefully over and over again, and found the reports from previous months. This was not difficult at all for the Third Hokage who personally reviewed all the documents.

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the four reports side by side, and after carefully comparing and reading them several times, he gave an order: "Notify Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu to come to the meeting immediately."

An Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in the corner of the office. He knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "Yes, Hokage."

Soon Konoha F4 gathered and started their closed-door meeting.

The 49-year-old Sarutobi Hiruzen was still very straightforward. He did not let the three classmates guess what he was thinking, but directly circled the key points of the four reports and assigned them to read.

The Third Hokage stood in front of the window, lit his pipe again, and took several puffs before he regained control and said, "Danzo, you were not aware of Uchiha Yuu's problem beforehand, and you handled it roughly and ineffectively afterwards. You cannot shirk your responsibility."

"Most importantly, why did you resort to such a violent method of killing? I have repeatedly emphasized that you cannot attack Konoha ninjas. This is the bottom line that cannot be crossed!"

"Not only did you cross the line to kill people, but the forces you sent were seriously insufficient and you were killed in return. You also concealed the failure of the mission and did not report it, which has delayed it until today. It is completely out of control."

Shimura Danzo bowed his head and admitted his mistake very straightforwardly: "This is all my mistake, please forgive me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not let it go. He said: "In the past two years, the way the Root handles various things has become more and more rough and simple, and often messes things up."

"Shimura Danzo, if this is your level, I will take back the autonomy granted to the Root, and the Anbu ninjas will be able to carry out assassination missions as well."

"Do you understand?"

Danzo Shimura was scolded like a grandson, his face turned red with anger and the veins on his forehead bulged.

But he did not explode, instead he breathed heavily, finally suppressed his emotions, and said: "Hiruzen, I will pay more attention."

Seeing that his old classmate admitted his mistake with a good attitude, the Third Hokage didn't take it seriously and stopped there. After taking a few deep puffs of his cigarette, he asked, "Tell me, how should we deal with Uchiha Yuu?"

"This Uchiha Yuu is not even 19 years old yet he already has a nickname. 'Corpse Burner Yuu' is such a fierce nickname. You can tell right away that he is not a good person."

Shimura Danzo maliciously speculated: "His mind must be very twisted."

"We can't let him go so easily. I suggest sending him to the Rain Country. No matter how strong he is, he won't survive long there."

"As long as he's dead, there won't be any problems."

The Third Hokage sighed deeply: "Danzo, take a good look at the relevant reports about Uchiha Yuu, he won't die that easily."

"Thousands of Kirigakure ninjas besieged the Tiger Unit of less than a hundred people led by him, but he ended up killing more than three thousand ninjas."

"If he replicated this feat in the Land of Rain, his reputation would probably be half that of Hatake Sakumo."

Mizutomon En said, "Let him go home and rest. If you don't give him any missions for half a year, his reputation will gradually cool down."

"Our problem back then was that we only thought about solving problems. Whenever there was a difficulty, we handed it over to Hatake Sakumo. The pressure and risk on him were too great, but after he solved all the difficulties, his reputation was too high, which put us in a dilemma."

“We can’t repeat the mistakes of the past.”

The Third Hokage nodded repeatedly and praised: "Yan is absolutely right. Uchiha You is an excellent Konoha ninja and a valuable talent. We cannot put too much pressure on such a talent. Since he has been fighting in the Land of Hot Springs for more than half a year, he should be allowed to take a good rest for a while, and give other ninjas a chance to show their talents."

Everyone agreed with this view except Danzo Shimura.

Utatane Koharu even agreed, "The Hokage is right. Let Uchiha Yuu come back and rest. This is the village's reward to him. It is also a very necessary protection. We cannot let our ninjas become overly exhausted on the front line."

Danzo Shimura had a gloomy look on his face, but he finally stopped saying anything and acquiesced to the result.

The four of them got together and began to execute the order with the highest efficiency. It only took ten minutes from writing, approving, reviewing, signing and stamping the order to handing it over to the Anbu ninja to send out.

Because a special ANBU ninja was assigned, the order was handed directly to Orochimaru the next day, and he casually put it under the pile of documents.

He has already promised Uchiha You a month, and there are still 6 days left. No rush, no rush.

Uchiha You's teaching ability is so strong that he can give three more lessons to the Snake Army within 6 days.

Even though it was only shadow clones that came to class, it could still bring about very obvious progress to the Snake Army. Moreover, delaying time could also increase Uchiha Yu's favorability.

How could a shrewd guy like Orochimaru miss this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?
