When Uchiha You opened his eyes, he found that the tornado had not disappeared and the lightning was launching its final attack in vain.
Feeling his own biological clock, Uchiha You was surprised to find that the purple lightning and soul test he had just experienced, as well as the killing of so many undead, had only lasted for three short seconds.
It seems that what happened just now was a time dislocation similar to dreaming. It felt like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a moment.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have been so anxious.
But now that he was out, Uchiha You had no intention of going back. After all, standing on the sea outside the harbor of Kawanoto was too exposed.
He had already felt that as the Thunder Dragon Tribulation, which he couldn't quite categorize, had passed, his body had begun to change, and in the following period of time he would most likely completely lose any sense of the outside world.
Uchiha You knew that he needed a hidden place that was safe from prying eyes, and also a guard he could absolutely trust.
Three wheels of Masayo.
Thinking of his fellow Taoist priest, Uchiha You felt his heart soften, and even on his disguise as a monkey face, he unconsciously revealed a gentle smile.
We have only been apart for a few days, but it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much.
But first find a safe enough shelter.
Uchiha You concentrated on thinking for a long time, and suddenly found that he didn't have a suitable place, the kind of nest where he could make a lot of noise and still feel at ease.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Uchiha You looked up in the direction of the sea and saw the column of smoke that was obviously thinning and fading.
[With such a violent eruption, a brand new island should have appeared there. ]
[I've made such a big noise here, showing off my exaggerated fighting power that's not inferior to the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki at all. As long as I hide there, no one should come over to check, right?]
[No, at least not within a few days.]
[The leaders of the ninja corps on the front line are responsible for the lives of thousands of ninjas. They have no time and no power to decide to provoke a powerful force outside the battlefield.]
[Only the Ninja Village can make a decision on this matter. Let me think about it...]
[I know the Third Hokage very well. He is an absolute conservative. He will never take the initiative to initiate anything that will cause additional conflict, so he will not provoke me.]
[The Fourth Kazekage is a speculative adventurer, but he is the kind of person who won't make up his mind until he has no other choice, so he won't provoke me.]
Uchiha You's thinking speed was extremely fast at this time. He figured out these things almost in an instant. Then he connected the line of faith and said to all the believers: "The disaster is over. I will suppress the volcano."
“Anyone who believes in me must be brave and optimistic, and not be depressed.”
“Those who are strong try to save others, and those who are weak try to save themselves.”
After he finished speaking, as believers all over the city knelt down in worship, his entire body was enveloped in golden flames, and he flew towards the direction of the smoke in the open sea like a flaming star.
In just a dozen seconds, the golden flame disappeared below the sea level.
The wind and fire jet technique that he used when he first came to the capital of Kawaguchi is now enough to enable him to fly, and at a very fast speed.
This way of flying is like a ballistic missile, and it has no flight control. The error is so large that the landing point cannot be controlled. It can be said that there are many problems.
But at the same time, this kind of flight is fast enough and loud enough, making it very suitable for showing off when leaving.
After flying 52 kilometers, Uchiha You fell into the sea in the form of a death spiral, and the crash site was 14 kilometers away from the newly born volcanic island.
He could only crawl out of the muddy sea water and then walk slowly over.
Uchiha You tidied up his appearance along the way. He took off his damaged disguise with a smock and burned it, and washed the mud on his body with fresh water extracted from the Water Spirit Technique.
Before this, his mask had been lost somewhere, revealing a deliberately deformed monkey face. Because he was still wearing Zhurong's vest, the deformation was not removed.
Soon, Uchiha You arrived at the newborn volcanic island, crossed the boiling coastline, and stepped onto the black basalt which was still soft and had only a layer of crust condensed on it.
Standing on the scorching volcanic island, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This newly born volcanic island in the South China Sea is the first territory of me, Zhurong, to become the new god?"
"This island...really looks like the volcano where the monkey lives in the Purple Mansion world..."
“Is this a mysterious connection?”
Uchiha You, with his monkey face, was unknowingly influenced by Xinyuan Moda, and mixed with the personality of his original vest. When he thought of the dark, he suddenly couldn't control himself.
He covered his face with his right hand, raised his left hand slightly into a claw shape, and let out a "hehehehe" laugh towards the sky.
The laughter lasted for ten minutes.
In this weird laughter, based on the heart-shaped monkey, combined with the huge power of faith, the setting of Zhurong vest was used as the framework, and condensed on the Taoist natural kunai carried by Uchiha You.
The finest steel and powerful sealing techniques cannot stop the powerful force and the distortion of the rules.
When the steel's deformation was completed, a heart-shaped mask depicting the Monkey King's facial makeup was created.
When this magical mask was freshly made, Uchiha You instantly got rid of his madness and returned to his normal state of consciousness.
He held the hot steel mask in his arms, his face covered with large beads of sweat, which were the cold sweat from fear.
It turned out that the loss of control just now was the real third disaster.
The tornado, lightning, purple lightning, and tens of thousands of undead were all covers, meant to nourish his mental strength and put him in an extremely excited state.
The ultimate goal is to detonate his mania and pride when facing success, resulting in a tendency towards mental split.
At this special moment when the body is exhausted, the mind is tired but excited, the second personality emerges.
If the second personality really appeared, the huge imbalance in mental strength would overwhelm the exhausted body, causing a total collapse of the body, and ultimately Uchiha You would die.
Of course, with the support of powerful self-healing ability, the body may be able to hold on, but the living Uchiha You is most likely not the time-traveling Uchiha You.
Fortunately, there was more power of faith that influenced the independence of the second personality. Fortunately, Uchiha You's own spirit was more resilient and powerful, and he forcibly merged the split mental power and the power of faith, and used the vest's character setting to forcibly distort the second personality, and finally resolved this major crisis.
When the problem was solved, the real disaster was completely over, and Uchiha You also obtained a mask that could be called a divine artifact.
When Uchiha You puts the mask on his face, it will automatically activate the transformation technique, turning Uchiha You into a monkey face and producing a natural personality change, perfectly putting on the vest of Zhurong, the Southern Fire God.
It can even amplify Uchiha Yuu's Fire Spirit Senjutsu, strengthen the absorption and control of the Fire Spirit's natural energy, and reduce the difficulty of performing the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, without even requiring a hand seal.
Of course, even with these powerful functions, this mask cannot be called a magical artifact.
The reason why Uchiha You believed that it was a true divine weapon was because it had the magical ability to perform divine duties on his behalf.
This mask can receive and carry the power of faith. It can also transform the power of faith into divine power and feed back the believers with the effects of divine power.
It also makes believers feel warmth, enthusiasm, courage and curiosity. The divine power consumed can be converted with only 1/3 of the power of faith, which greatly saves the power of faith.
The most important thing is that all of this can be done automatically, and can completely replace Uchiha You to perform these mechanical faith harvesting and divine power feedback tasks.
So, this is a divine weapon, a prop that can replace the gods to perform their duties.
Moreover, this mask is clearly made of steel, but it can use the connection of divine power and faith to magically enter the Zifu world and appear on the head of the heart-shaped monkey.
God knows how many secrets of the basic rules of the ninja world are involved in this kind of miraculous performance.
Uchiha You's hands holding the mask were shaking all the time. Before, it was because of the fear of the near-death experience, but gradually, he understood the importance of the mask, and his arms were shaking with excitement.
He looked at the mask in his hand and thought: How could I not try out such a magical tool?
Uchiha You took a few deep breaths and slowly put the mask on his face.
After the hot mask came into contact with the skin, it suddenly stuck tightly to it, and the Monkey King's mask on the outside changed into a real monkey face. Even golden monkey hair grew on Uchiha You's head and body.
In just a moment, Uchiha You turned into a golden-haired baboon, and it was a baboon that stood upright like a human.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, I thought it was a golden monkey, why is it a blue-faced golden baboon?"
"Forget it. I'm lucky enough not to have turned into a red curly-haired baboon."
The golden-haired baboon muttered to himself as he stretched out his right hand, manipulated the chakra scalpel, cut his fingers and performed the psychic technique.
Accompanied by a small ball of white smoke, Miwa Masayo arrived at the volcanic island.
“Meow!”
The tabby cat screamed and jumped onto the shoulder of its owner as if it had been electrocuted, shouting: "You! What's going on, meow? Why is it so hot..."
Miwa Masayo's head turned slowly and she looked at the huge blue-faced baboon head. Her jaw dropped in shock.
The tabby cat, who had never seen a baboon, thought to himself: What the hell is this monster?
But at the same time, there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and security, which made the tabby cat deeply puzzled: Why does this monster have the smell of You?
In the last three rounds, Yashi bravely asked, "Who are you, meow?"
Seeing that Miwa Masayo was not frightened, Uchiha You said happily: "I am Uchiha You, but I am also the master of the Nanhai Volcano, the Southern Fire Spirit God - Zhurong!"
When Miwa Masayo heard Uchiha You speaking, although the voice was strange, she also felt more familiar. She confirmed that this was Uchiha You's transformed form, and then she was completely relieved.
She tilted her head and looked at the blue-faced golden-haired baboon, looking at his ferocious and hideous face and his huge fangs.
The curious tabby cat touched it with its paw and actually felt the presence of the fangs.
"You, what kind of transformation is this? It's amazing, meow!"
"This is the transformation effect of a divine artifact. It is indeed magical."
Uchiha You put his hands on his face and instantly turned back to his original handsome appearance. Then he put on the mask again and showed the artifact mask to Miwa Masayo.
Miwa Masayo's eyes were full of stars, and he shouted excitedly: "What a magical mask! I wish I could become like this if I stayed here?"
"Eh, I don't know, how about giving it a try?"
"Try it meow, try it for me meow!"
As a result, Miwa Masayo couldn't wear the Monkey King mask at all, and could only return it to Uchiha Yu in disappointment, watching him turn into a golden-haired baboon again.
The tabby cat asked unsatisfiedly: "What do you look like, meow? You look weird, a bit like a monkey, but more like a stinky dog, meow?"
Uchiha You explained: "This is a baboon, a very ferocious monkey."
Miwa Masayo suddenly realized and said with emotion: "It turns out that the god of the Nanhai Volcano Island is a monkey."
Uchiha You: "..."
Seeing the golden-haired baboon-like Uchiha You in embarrassment, Miwa Masayo covered her mouth and laughed.
After just a short while, she no longer found the golden-haired baboon scary, and instead found the furry Uchiha You very interesting.
"Meow." The tabby cat, who had laughed enough, cleared his throat and asked, "You, you summoned me here because of what big thing you are going to do next?"
Uchiha You smiled and took off the mask, returning to his human form, and then replied: "Rika-chan, I have completed the three disasters and am about to make the final and most important breakthrough."
Miwa Masayo was shocked and asked quickly, "Today is not the winter solstice, meow. Didn't you say that the most important day is the winter solstice, meow?"
Uchiha You replied: "The most important day should still be the winter solstice, but it doesn't start on that day, but continues until that day to completely complete the transformation."
The tabby cat suddenly realized and nodded to indicate that he understood.
So Uchiha You continued: "In the next two days, I will go through the biggest transformation. I don't know what will happen next. Maybe it will cause a big scene and attract dangerous peepers."
"So I need your protection."
He stretched out his hand and drew a circle around the island, then said, "No matter who it is, anyone who approaches this island must be driven away as far as possible. It's best if you don't show up directly, but use the natural energy of the Fire Spirit to drive them away."
"I just survived a disaster in Chuanzhidu and created quite a stir. It should have a considerable deterrent effect in a short period of time."
Miwa Masayo nodded and said, "No problem, meow. I'll do my best."
"But, Yuu, your transformation must take two days, nya?"
Uchiha You nodded and said, "My intuition tells me that it will indeed take two days. Lihua-chan, is there any problem with the time?"
Miwa Masayo wagged his tail and said proudly, "You, you always say that I forget things, but this time it was you who forgot, meow."
"After you complete the regeneration surgery, the seven days of rest will end tomorrow, meow. You have to regenerate my arm right away, meow!"
Uchiha You smiled slightly, reached out and touched Miwa Masayo's head, and said confidently: "Rika-chan, do you think I can't think of this?"
"The critical moment of the winter solstice coincides with the time of the regenerative surgery. How could I forget?"
"Don't worry, I have already left a shadow clone to handle the pre-operative examination and three days of preparation. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Not only do I not have to worry about anything happening on the winter solstice on December 21, I don't have to worry about being caught even if I go back in the early hours of December 24."
"There's plenty of time."
Not seeing the anxious look on the poop scooper's face, Sanlun Yashi suddenly felt a little discouraged.
But she suddenly heard a hint of weakness in the shit shoveler's words, and quickly looked over, and found that Uchiha You's face was pale.
"You're in bad shape, meow!" The distressed Miwa Masayo said quickly, "Hurry up, what are you going to prepare for next? Let's finish it quickly, meow!"
Uchiha You smiled and said: "It's okay, I can still hold on."
"Hurry up, meow! Don't hold it back, meow!"
"Okay, I need a place that's hidden enough to avoid being seen by others."
"It would be best if I could be close to fire, earth, water, wind and lightning at the same time, so that I can draw on the natural energy I need at any time."
Miwa Masayo was stunned. Following Uchiha Yu's finger, he looked towards the crater with billowing gray smoke and asked hesitantly, "Do we really want to choose that place, meow?"
Uchiha You nodded and said affirmatively: "It is the crater."
"Although the volcano only spewed out ash, there must be magma under the crater, and the fire spirit and earth spirit are definitely abundant."
"The erupting material contains a high content of water vapor. Although the natural energy of the water spirit is small, it is enough for emergency use."
"The eruption itself is a strong movement of wind, and the wind spirits naturally have abundant energy."
"The last of the natural energy of the Thunder Spirit..."
Looking at the lightning that crackled almost all the time in the billowing gray smoke, Sanlun Yashi knew that the natural energy of the Thunder Spirit must be abundant.
Her mind was in a mess, and she murmured, "It's hard to believe, but now that you mention it... the crater is indeed a very suitable location, meow."
Uchiha You took a few deep breaths, took Miwa Masayo off his shoulders, and placed him on the hot ground.
The tabby cat became a cat fairy by deriving from the natural energy of the fire spirit. Her paws cannot be harmed by flames.
The previous jumping and screaming were just residual biological instincts. As long as you are mentally prepared, you will naturally not be afraid of feeling your feet burning.
Uchiha You said earnestly: "Lihua-chan, we have already embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Although I am one step ahead, you are no longer an ordinary life."
"You must quickly get used to your new life form, get used to your body being invulnerable to fire and wind, and get used to the fact that I am no longer afraid of fire, toxins, suffocation, cutting, and other dangerous situations."
"As your body improves rapidly, your mentality must keep up."
"Otherwise, your mentality will one day become a hindrance for you and me to move forward."
Miwa Masayo seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this. She looked at Uchiha Yu and nodded solemnly.
Uchiha You finally said: "If no one comes to spy, Lihua-chan should practice a normal attitude towards fire. The environment here is very suitable."
After saying that, he walked up to the crater with determination and jumped down.
