Uchiha You smiled. He could feel the barely concealed worry and fear in Senju Tobirama's words.
So he asked, "Nidaime, do you have any requests?"
"You know, I said before when I got the Hashirama Crystal that I owed you. So please rest assured that as long as the request is not too unreasonable, I will agree to it."
Senju Tobirama hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "My brother and I don't have many obsessions. The only thing we care about the most is Konoha Village."
"I hope that you will protect Konoha Village to the best of your ability and not let it be destroyed or fall into decline."
Uchiha You didn't hesitate at all, and agreed with a smile: "Okay."
Senju Tobirama could tell that Uchiha You's words were from the heart, and he finally felt relieved.
He would never be completely at ease. The Second Hokage was a guy so suspicious that he couldn't even trust himself completely. It was impossible for him to be completely at ease with Uchiha Yu.
In such a vast ninja world, the only person that Senju Tobirama can completely trust is his elder brother Senju Hashirama.
Hashirama Senju's strength is invincible in the ninja world. His ideas reflect the general trend of the ninja world. So when he wants peace in the ninja world, war will never break out among the five major ninja villages. When he thinks that dividing the tailed beasts equally can achieve balance, the tailed beasts will no longer be able to live freely in the wild.
Senju Hashirama is the strongest, so he will never be forced by the situation.
What's more important is that Senju Hashirama has a clear mind. He is a person who is consistent and can see through things at a glance. Tobirama knows every one of his thoughts and can of course rest assured.
He already had a good sense of Uchiha Yu.
So, Senju Tobirama took out a thick stack of records and began to share the latest research results with Uchiha You.
He achieved two research goals through one experiment.
After entering the human body, the Wood Release Crystal will completely dissociate into chakra, without leaving even the slightest bit of material residue.
Therefore, the essence of Wood Release Crystal is the materialized Wood Release Chakra. The name given to it by Uchiha Yu can be said to be very accurate.
But how chakra is materialized and how it forms stable crystals is beyond the scope of Senju Tobirama's understanding.
He said helplessly to Uchiha You: "For the two questions you raised, I have absolutely no idea. You can only rely on yourself to study."
Uchiha You said unhappily: "Second-generation, you are not interested, right?"
Senju Tobirama laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I am indeed more interested in specific applications. It's so boring to get to the bottom of things."
Again, research into unknown areas requires self-awareness and can only be driven by desire and interest. Forcing others to do so will have a 100% counterproductive effect.
Uchiha You was helpless. As long as Senju Tobirama had no interest in the deeper principles, he had no way to force him to study them.
He could only let it go. After all, he was a pragmatist and as long as it worked, it was good enough.
The reason why he raised those two questions was because of the habits he brought from his previous life. Only after breakthroughs in basic disciplines can breakthroughs in applied technology follow.
But if you think about it carefully, that is because the technological level of Blue Planet has exceeded the scope of conventional physics and entered the microscopic field, a field that is completely contrary to common sense.
It is true that we can only rely on basic research to lead and applied technology to follow with breakthroughs.
But before Lao Ai came up with the theory of relativity, for thousands of years, it was applied technology that led basic research.
The current ninja world does not need to get to the bottom of things in order to maintain rapid progress.
Anyway, Senju Tobirama has unlimited time, so just let him do his own research. One day, he will take the initiative to enter the field of basic research because his technology cannot make any progress.
Uchiha You has plenty of time and patience to slowly wait for the results he expects.
So he smiled and asked, "What about the results of the research on my body?"
Senju Tobirama's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Uchiha boy, after more than a hundred experiments, I have completely confirmed one thing, that is, you are different from all the ninjas in the ninja world."
"Your body's tolerance for chakra is incredibly high. The chakra released by the Wood Release Crystal is so huge and absolutely destructive, but you were able to withstand it effortlessly."
"It's as if the chakra has no effect on your body at all. Your body is just a storage container, but you can obviously refine and control chakra. It's really incomprehensible."
After hearing what Senju Tobirama said, Uchiha You's heart, which had risen to his throat, finally fell back into his stomach.
[Very good, even Senju Tobirama's direct experiment could not find the natural energy in the meridians. My disguise was very successful. I can do things boldly in the future.]
But what Senju Tobirama said next shocked Uchiha You extremely.
"Also, I discovered through comparison that the chakra in your body is also different."
Senju Tobirama took out the Hashirama crystal and continued, "Except for a small amount of chakra, the chakra in your body reacts more similarly to this crystal of my eldest brother."
Uchiha You frowned and said, "Can you tell me specifically where the abnormality is?"
Senju Tobirama said awkwardly: "It is difficult for me to describe the difference in words. I can only make an analogy. If all chakras have a common centripetal point, then your chakra and my elder brother's chakras are directed towards ourselves."
Uchiha You took a breath of cold air. He knew one thing, that is, Otsutsuki Kaguya once claimed that all chakra belonged to her.
Kaguya actually did it, forcibly stripping everyone's chakra and returning it to herself, proving with her actions that her words were true.
The chakras of Uchiha Yuu and Senju Hashirama are very different. Does it mean that their chakras no longer belong to Otsutsuki Kaguya for various reasons?
No wonder Uchiha You was still slowly correcting something after he had completely completed his foundation building, especially after he had developed the Wood Release Chakra.
It seems that he is erasing the ownership of the chakra in his body, changing the chakra from belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki to belonging to himself.
Immortals value life and are pure and refined. The ancients were not deceiving me.
It turns out that there is one last step in building the foundation, which is to cleanse the alien energy in one's body. When one regards chakra as a part of oneself, one can only eliminate the abnormality of chakra.
Uchiha You then thought that he had eaten a lot of Wood Release crystals in recent experiments. Did this increase the amount of chakra that needed to be eliminated?
Fortunately it ended early.
Because Uchiha You was able to understand everything, Senju Tobirama described it in great detail. In addition, the questions raised by Uchiha You from time to time inspired Tobirama, and the conversation between the two lasted for a long time.
Until a piece of the Impure World fragment fell on Senju Tobirama's face. Instead of returning to repair itself automatically, it fell directly on the table and quickly decomposed into dust under the gaze of the two.
Uchiha You asked, "Nidaime, have you improved the Impure World Reincarnation Technique yourself?"
Senju Tobirama nodded and replied, "Yes, the previous Impure World Body started to fall apart very early, which was really annoying, so I made some improvements and extended its use period by a few days so that it won't fall apart anymore."
Uchiha You said sadly: "Instead, once the dregs start to fall apart, the time is up."
A smile suddenly broke out on Senju Tobirama's cold face, and he said, "It's just the right time. I can go back to the Pure Land and have a good rest."
"Since I was released from the Impure World by you, I have not had a rest. Except for the few days when I went to look for Tsunade, I worked day and night. This is harder than working in the living or dead."
"Fortunately, I have completed the work you assigned to me. You can study the remaining details yourself."
Uchiha Youya laughed: "Hehe, you won't be able to rest for much time. I will soon pull you out to work. Anyway, they are all dead. No matter how tired you are, you won't die."
Senju Tobirama was so frightened that his face changed. He shouted in a low voice: "Uchiha boy, you can't be like this. Who do you think I am? You can't let people die in peace!"
If you were to be repeatedly and continuously subjected to the filth, and then be whipped by responsibility and forced to work hard day and night, it would definitely be a torture worse than hell.
Uchiha You said with a smile: "You are dead, so this matter is not up to you, but I, a living person, have the final say. We will see each other again soon."
Senju Tobirama heard that Uchiha You was indeed joking, so he relaxed, snorted coldly, and said: "Next time, prepare a very good body for me, understand?"
Uchiha You raised his thumb and said, "Don't worry, Nidaime, I will definitely let you recover your peak combat power next time and I won't let you down."
But before Senju Tobirama could finish hearing this sentence, he suddenly collapsed.
In just half a second, he turned into a pool of fine dust, and even this dust continued to dissipate into the air, soon revealing a goat with a core that was as dry as a mummy.
This sheep used as a sacrifice is also very magical. When the soul of Senju Tobirama appears in the Impure World Body, the goat will completely disappear.
During the normal use of the Impure World Body, no matter what shape it is broken into, the sheep cannot be found. Until the Impure World Reincarnation technique is over and the Impure World Body collapses, it will automatically appear again.
Perhaps the goat is not only a sacrifice, but also a collateral for the soul. Only by appearing in the Pure Land on behalf of the soul can it deceive the laws of life and death?
Who knows? Even the developer of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama Senju, couldn't figure out the specific reason.
Uchiha You silently cleaned up the goat's corpse and the remaining dirty world garbage, and then sealed the room.
For some time to come, he will no longer be the Second Hokage of the Impure World Reincarnation Movement.
Because Uchiha You's feelings about the Winter Solstice are getting stronger and stronger, this day will be his most critical step and he needs to prepare wholeheartedly.
During the next period of time, any action he takes may involve some of his biggest secrets and must not be seen by Senju Tobirama.
Otherwise, God knows what ideas he would come up with.
Uchiha You has made up his mind that on the winter solstice he will leave Konoha Village and find a truly uninhabited area to complete this step alone.
He didn't even plan to bring Miwa Masayo with him. It wasn't because he didn't trust his partner, but because he was afraid that she would be in danger.
During the last two breakthroughs in the foundation-building period, Uchiha You faced tremendous scenes. He would never believe that there would be no danger in taking this most critical step.
In Uchiha You's mind, the scene this time might be even bigger. All kinds of disasters might come in the form of a grand natural disaster, and it would be impossible to estimate the safe distance.
So, Miwa Masayo should not just stand by and watch.
In the next few days, Uchiha You only performed an operation to regenerate a severed limb, and spent the rest of the time looking inward, searching for the mechanism of chakra destruction, trying to understand and control the related process.
Unfortunately, although he felt that the process of erosion was continuing, his search yielded nothing.
On December 14, he finally suspended this work and began to prepare with all his strength to keep himself in the best condition.
For this reason, he even asked Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Ayumi not to disturb him for the time being.
But fate obviously did not want him to get away with it, so a request that was difficult to refuse appeared before him.
On the 16th, the ninja that surprised Uchiha Yu the most suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Ying from the Snow Clan who had been gone for two full months without any news.
The Ice Release Ninja who suddenly appeared had a refreshing appearance and a calm and composed demeanor, but the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed.
Uchiha You asked, "You haven't sent me a message in such a long time since you left. Are you having trouble handling family affairs?"
"Yes." Ying knelt down and sat upright, explaining softly, "The Snow Clan is in a very troublesome situation. The Fourth Mizukage has targeted the Snow Clan."
"The stupid Hozuki clan and Kaguya clan actually believed the Fourth Hokage's lies. Most of the Hidden Mist Village united to encircle and suppress our Snow Clan."
Uchiha You asked: "A village is besieging a family. This is an irresistible trend. How do you deal with it?"
Ying replied calmly, "I abandoned all the ninjas in my family and let them fight the Kirigakure ninjas. I used their resistance as a cover and secretly escaped with the children and women of my family."
Uchiha You was stunned for a long time before commenting: "There is nothing wrong with your strategy. It is the method that can preserve the bloodline of the Snow Clan to the greatest extent, but you should only take the child away."
"Women are easily swayed by their emotions. Once they get carried away, they will take unthinkable actions, which can easily lead to devastating consequences."
Ying lowered her head, her tone full of regret: "Master You, you are right. I was wrong in this matter. There were four women who ignored my ban and ran away to find their husbands."
"Even though their husbands had died heroically in battle, they believed the Kirigakure ninja's lies that 'as long as you lead the way, I will let everyone live', and led the Kirigakure ninja to find the secret place of the Snow Clan."
Uchiha You was very surprised to hear this, because there was not much sadness in Ying's tone, but it was full of fatigue and helplessness. It was obvious that he had escaped the crisis this time.
Curious, he asked, "How did you avoid the sneak attack from the Kirigakure ninja?"
Ying explained: "Thanks to the Impure World Body you gave me, I don't need any rest at all, so I was able to spread the frost over a large enough area and discovered the Kirigakure ninja who came to attack in advance."
"Besides, the Impure World Body greatly increased my combat power. Those Kirigakure ninjas were eager to take credit, and they only gathered 25 ninjas to steal the credit, so I killed them all."
"After that, I executed the four women who led the way, abandoned a few women who thought I was cruel, and hid everywhere with my children..."
Uchiha You frowned and asked, "Why, after such a long time, the Hidden Mist Village hasn't given up the pursuit? No, you can't hide anymore?"
Ying crossed her hands and bowed down, saying with a sad tone, "I'm very sorry. Although I tried my best to solve the problem myself, I have no other options now. My tribesmen have reached the end of their rope and must get your help."
Uchiha You was in a dilemma. He asked, "You can leave them and come to Konoha Village to find me. Obviously, the Snow Clan didn't make it to the last moment. Can't you wait a few more days? Even five days?"
Ying kowtowed again, and his posture changed to the most humble one, and he begged bitterly: "I really can't wait any longer. The craftsmen of the Kizuna clan have made special ninja tools using the bones of the clan members, which can sense the blood of the Snow Clan within a certain range."
"Although I misled the Kirigakure ninja before I left, they will definitely find out the problem. The children will not be able to hide for ten days."
"Please, you promised me this."
Uchiha You almost cursed out loud, of course he had promised Ying to protect his people, but he always thought it could wait.
After this genocide is over, we will go to the Water Country to search for the orphans of the Snow Clan who were scattered, such as Bai's mother.
By taking these orphans away from the dangerous Water Kingdom and finding a village in the Fire Kingdom to settle them down, we can fulfill the condition of protecting the Snow Clan from being exterminated.
Who would have known that this impure clan leader was so capable that he could organize a large-scale evacuation of women and children in such a chaotic situation, and lead them all out of the Hidden Mist Village and escape from the Land of Water.
If it weren't for those four unfortunate women, his mission could be said to have been successfully completed.
As a result, because things went so smoothly, the women became lucky and were blinded by their emotions, revealing the family's secrets.
Because Ying rescued all the children and women, now it has given the enemy the opportunity to wipe out the Snow Clan in one fell swoop. The situation is really very dangerous.
The same danger exists for Uchiha Yu.
It's not worth risking your life for an excellent researcher.
Just a few seconds ago, he began to think about giving up on Ying.
After all, he is not the only smart genius. Uchiha You has already fooled Senju Tobirama, and Ying is not as important as he imagined.
But his instinct stopped him.
Uchiha You's instincts told him that he had to keep his promise, otherwise he would be dead on the Winter Solstice.
He sighed deeply and asked, "Where did you hide the children of the Snow Clan?"
