Sanlun Yashi consumed a total of 21 pills, and without any major noise, he successfully completed the breakthrough.

But this is just an appearance.

Uchiha You's natural energy seeped into the entire body of the tabby cat, and he observed the entire process of this breakthrough, which made him sweat profusely and terrified.

This is not an ordinary breakthrough, but the process of the Cat Sage breaking through the innate pattern of the Ninja Cat and breaking all restrictions on her by the rules of the Ninja world.

If a single living being challenges the rules of the world, it will naturally be retaliated by the world.

The breakthrough that Uchiha You experienced when he condensed the golden elixir was a grand scene. The thunderous thunder blew away a layer of the ground. He was lucky enough to complete the breakthrough. The danger he experienced during the process was obvious.

However, this time when Miwa Masayo grew her third tail, there was almost no movement, and the only two lightning strikes were generated by her own body.

But the danger faced by the tabby cat this time was even greater. It was not until after the second lightning outbreak that Uchiha You realized that the fatal danger was not in the open, but occurred within the 40 trillion cells in her body.

The power that restrains Miwa Yashiro's breakthrough is herself. It comes from the smallest corner of her body and originates from the genetic information in every cell.

Miwa Masashi's breakthrough was not the development of bone buds visible to the naked eye, nor was it the growth of a tail; that was just the manifestation of the final result.

The real breakthrough is the natural energy of the Thunder Spirit, which, after tearing apart the constraints in the genetic information, re-establishes new genetic information without causing genetic collapse due to previous damage.

Every tear seems so easy, and every reconstruction seems so magical.

There was no ready-made template, and reconstruction required a blueprint. Sanlun Yashi instinctively referred to the powerful life form that he was most familiar with and which was right beside him.

I have to say, it's a good thing this kitten doesn't have a Y chromosome, otherwise she could have turned herself into a male cat, which would be... too...

well.

Uchiha You's mood was indescribable, but he knew that the mutation in the cells was silent, but it was like thunder in the silence.

Whether it succeeds or fails, the cell itself does not die immediately.

However, those cells that fail to rebuild genetic information will completely lose their functions when their lifespan reaches its limit. When the number of deaths is large enough, Miwa Masaya will lose some of his body functions.

For those cells that have been successfully rebuilt, the new cells will be completely different from the original ones during the next division and metabolism.

In a nutshell, as time goes by, Miwa Masayo will change from the life form of Ninja Cat to a completely new life form.

Yes, she will become a catgirl in a year at most because she copied Uchiha Yuu's genetic information.

It was completely different from the scene that was originally expected, where after a natural disaster, Miwa Masayo shed all his fur and turned into a human on the spot.

But in Uchiha You's feeling, this steady change step by step seems so reliable and solid.

The only thing that changed in one step for Miwa Yashiro was his meridians. The two lightning bolts not only blew up his fur, but also shattered the meridians in his body.

With the help of Uchiha You, the tabby cat took advantage of the devastating blow to its body and used its powerful vitality to rebuild its meridian system.

Not surprisingly, her reconstructed meridians are more human than ninja-neko.

As her meridians were rebuilt, her chakra was completely expelled, and what flowed in her meridians was pure natural energy, not fairy chakra.

Miwa Masayo completely got rid of the traces of immortals and embarked on the immortal path opened up by Uchiha Yu.

When her third tail was fully grown, Uchiha You bowed and said, "From today on, you and I are fellow Taoists."

Miwa Masayo asked weakly, "Is it a fellow Taoist like Black Hawk, meow?"

Uchiha You smiled and said, "Of course not. You and I are on the same path. Even if we put aside our relationship as Taoist companions, you and I are still fellow Taoists. Our relationship is much closer than that of Black Hawk."

The tabby cat heard Uchiha You's answer and nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

"I'm so tired meow, take me home to rest meow."

"You, I'm so hungry and sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first. When I wake up, I want to have a big meal!"

"The pill doesn't taste good at all, even though it smells nice."

"This elixir needs a name..."

Uchiha You held Miwa Masayo in his arms and returned to Konoha Village and their home without them noticing.

Hearing Miwa Masayo's request, he answered without hesitation: "Let's call it Eight-tailed Thunder Dan."

The tabby cat was stunned when she heard this. Even though she was extremely tired, she couldn't help laughing: "You actually named the main ingredient of alchemy Dan, isn't this too easy?"

Uchiha You laughed and said, "That's great. This name will always remind me that I need to take time to visit the other tailed beasts. I don't know what I will gain."

The tabby cat asked in confusion: "You, I remember the original material was the shell of the Faith Gem, meow. Is there not much left?"

"Can such a thing be found, meow?"

Uchiha You shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since there is one, there must be more. We can always find them."

"And this metal is produced on the shell of the Faith Gem. I might be able to grow this thing in the Ghost Country."

Uchiha You continued to talk a lot, but Miwa Masayo did not hear the end. She gradually fell asleep while Uchiha You was talking.

…

Miwa Masayo's breakthrough was a big deal for her and Uchiha Yuu, but it did not cause any waves in the ninja world because the war between the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village had reached its climax.

The two major northern countries are about to decide the winner.

Unlike in history, Nagato of the Rain Country rose strongly, cut off the most important passage in the Ninja World, and separated the Wind Country and the Fire Country.

The Third Tsuchikage was not distracted by the war in the south and devoted himself fully to the war with the Hidden Cloud Village.

The appearance of the Third Tsuchikage on the front line was a significant boost to the morale of the Iwagakure ninjas. Coupled with the large number of reinforcements he brought, the situation on the battlefield took a small turn.

The Iwagakure Village, which had been defeated and retreated to the Land of Earth, began their counterattack.

The reinforcements that came from the Iwagakure ninja this time were not only numerous, more than twice as many as those from the Kumogakure ninja, but they also had a large number of jonin, giving them an advantage in high-end combat power.

As we all know, Lightning Release restrains Earth Release, which is one of the important reasons why the Hidden Cloud Village suppresses the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

But when it comes to the jonin stage, this restraint is not so obvious. The key to determining victory or defeat between jonin is the use of their own combat system.

There are a large number of Iwagakure ninjas, and all of them have mastered earth-style ninjutsu. The Iwagakure ninjas who can stand out and become jonin all have unique skills to deal with lightning-style ninjutsu.

Faced with the Iwagakure ninjas whose number and quality had skyrocketed, the Kumogakure ninjas soon suffered a lot and retreated to the border of the Land of Earth, almost retreating into the Land of Water Trap.

The Third Raikage, who had been staying in the Land of Grass, controlling the reserve team and looking for an opportunity to win, could no longer sit still.

He could only launch the attack in advance, leading the reserve troops to cut into the Land of Earth from the Land of Grass, and attack the Iwagakure ninja from the flank by surprise.

This attack was very clever. If it weren't for the bad luck of the Sanxia Raikage who happened to meet the Third Tsuchikage who was on patrol with his son, he might have been able to destroy the main force of the Hidden Stone Village in one fell swoop.

Two major countries, two major ninja villages, two Kage, and more than 40,000 elite ninjas appeared on the same battlefield at the same time. A decisive battle that will determine the fate of the two great countries is about to break out.

"Crazy, the Raikage is crazy!"

The Third Tsuchikage roared at his subordinates, "How dare he fight at this time?"

"This is a decisive battle! It's a gamble on the fate of the nation! Even though the Third Raikage is a reckless man, he has never been so impulsive. What on earth is he thinking?"

Huang Tu said naively: "Father..."

An irritated Ohnoki glanced at his son and said unhappily, "You have to call me Tsuchikage-sama now!"

Huang Tu is a sturdy man with a height of 217 cm. He was scolded by the Tsuchikage who was only 130 cm tall, but he did not show any dissatisfaction.

He immediately obeyed his father's order and responded, "Yes! Lord Sandaime Tsuchikage!"

"What do you want to say?" Ohnoki asked.

Huang Tu replied: "Lord Tsuchikage, I think we don't need to care what the Third Raikage thinks. We just need to focus on the Kumogakure ninjas and eliminate these enemies."

Oonoki sighed and waved his son off.

Obviously Huangtu didn't understand what he just said. "This is a decisive battle, a gamble on the fate of the country" means that neither side is sure of winning, and it is not that the Iwagakure Village has the advantage.

But when the jonin of Iwagakure Village heard Huang Tu's words, the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

They talked a lot, discussing how to win this battle and drive all the damn Cloud Ninjas out of the Land of Earth.

Hearing his subordinates' discussion, Ōnoki once again felt deep despair.

To be honest, he was fully confident of winning the current battle and even defeating the Hidden Cloud Village.

Because Ohnoki is not fighting alone.

Behind the mighty Third Raikage, there was a group of Kumogakure ninjas whose interests were damaged and who were dissatisfied with the Third Raikage. Ohnoki took the initiative to find them and turned them into his own spies.

Even if the Third Raikage noticed it and even took careful precautions, he could only limit the role of these spies but could not eliminate their harm.

For example, in this battle, Ohnoki didn't know where the Third Raikage was hiding, but he knew clearly how many Kumogakure ninjas the Third Raikage brought and how strong they were.

Ohnoki did not have enough cultural literacy to utter the brilliant statement "know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger", but as a veteran of war, he clearly knew that he would never fail if he had full control of the intelligence on both sides.

But after obtaining the intelligence, it is necessary to carefully design a plan, play to your strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses, so that you can reap the fruits of victory.

If we rush forward recklessly as Huang Tu said, the value of the intelligence will not be fully utilized.

As for the heated discussions among the Iwagakure jonin, Ohnoki summed it up like this: "Charge! Beat him! Beat him! Beat him again! Victory will be ours!"

The more Onoki listened, the angrier and more annoyed he became, and the veins on his forehead gradually bulged.

Finally, he had enough and yelled, "Shut up, you bunch of hopeless idiots!"

Although Ohnoki is only 130 cm tall, he has a loud voice. His roar was so loud that the tent shook and everyone covered their ears and kept silent.

But there were also those who were not convinced. The Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi covered his ears with both hands and said dissatisfiedly: "Just say what you want to say. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Ohnoki looked at Lao Zi angrily and said loudly: "Because what you are discussing is the stupid idea of ​​sending the Iwagakure Village to hell."

Lao Zi also had a bad temper. Hearing this, he jumped up and said, "What we said doesn't make sense. Then you go ahead and say something."

"My idea is to retreat," Ohnoki said.

The Iwagakure jonin immediately burst into an uproar, and raised their doubts one after another:

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

"We are fighting now, how can we retreat?"

Lao Zi sneered and said, "How could such a stupid idea as retreating in front of the enemy come out of your mouth? Third Tsuchikage, are you confused?"

Ohnoki looked at him and questioned, "Do you know how many ninjas are capable of fighting the enemy right now?"

Looking at the dumbfounded Lao Zi, he continued without pause: "350 ninjas, among the 25,000 Iwagakure ninjas, only 350 ninjas can fight against the Kumogakure ninjas."

"The terrain here is too narrow. 350 people is the limit. More ninjas will not only fail to exert greater combat effectiveness, but will increase our casualties."

"On the other hand, the number of ninjas that Kumokage Ninja can send to fight us is only this many."

Ohnoki looked at Lao Zi and scolded him without any hesitation: "A mere 350 Kumogakure ninjas can be said to have retreated from the enemy like this. Are you so rigid-minded?"

"Or do you have no idea about the fighting situation on the front line?"

Faced with the Tsuchikage's questioning, Lao Zi suddenly felt embarrassed.

He really didn't know the situation on the front line, but was talking nonsense based on his previous experience.

Ohnoki and Lao Zi have been classmates and rivals for many years. Ohnoki knew what he was thinking at a glance and snorted coldly and ignored him.

The Third Tsuchikage said to the jonin: "We have 20,000 troops, but being in this mountainous area bordering Taki Country will severely limit our ability to exert our strength."

"So, we can't fight with Kumogakure here. Instead, we should go to a wider battlefield and make full use of the advantages of the number and discipline of the Iwagakure Village."

Old Zi complained, "We know we shouldn't fight here, but ahead is the more complicated Land of Water Trap. Do we have to let the Cloud Ninja go deep into the Land of Earth for this purpose?"

He was just complaining out of habit, subconsciously causing trouble for the Third Tsuchikage.

But his complaint was agreed by Ohnoki: "Old Zi said it well, that's what I meant. In the mountains, we have no advantage in numbers."

The Third Tsuchikage spoke loudly: "We should indeed retreat back to this valley."

Ohnoki pointed to a small plain on the map and said, "On this rare piece of flat land, we will make full use of our advantage in numbers to surround and destroy the Kumogakure ninja."

"Then, we can chase the Kumogakure ninja's escape and drive them back to the Land of Lightning along with the cruel flames of war!"

"oh--!"

When the jonin of Iwagakure heard the Tsuchikage's declaration of victory, they immediately cheered even though they did not understand why they were able to win.

Looking at his subordinates who were in high spirits, Ohnoki let out a long sigh.

Although victory in the future was expected, and he might even be able to defeat the Third Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage was extremely worried about the future of the Iwagakure Village.

Before the war began, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared, and the Sand Village was replaced by the Fourth Kazekage. Under the leadership of the Fourth Kazekage, the Sand Village did not fight well in the war and was even defeated by the Leaf Village.

But in Ōnoki's view, Rasa is a rare talent, and his failure is mainly due to the fact that the Sand Village is too weak and is not qualified to be compared with the Konoha Village.

Last year, the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village died a violent death. The Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura, took over the Hidden Mist Village smoothly and carried out internal reforms and external wars with great success.

At this time, Ōnoki didn't know that the Hidden Mist Village had already changed the fifth Mizukage.

In his eyes, Karuji Yagura has excellent strength and intelligence, and is an absolutely qualified successor.

Two months ago, the Third Hokage, who was close in age to Ōnoki, died, and Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage had proven himself in the previous war and took over the power of Konoha Village very smoothly. Under his leadership, the momentum of Konoha Ninja became increasingly powerful and even conquered the Sand Village.

Ōnoki believes that Orochimaru is impeccably excellent, and he truly envies Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There is another powerful ninja in the ninja world who is no less powerful than the Five Kage, and that is the demigod Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village.

He died earlier than the Third Hokage, but Nagato, the successor of the Hidden Rain Village, was so young, yet he was a monster more powerful than a demigod.

Ohnoki wasn't just envious, he was nakedly jealous!

Maybe in a few days, he will kill the Third Raikage with his own hands, but Ai from the Cloud Shadow Village has already been determined to be the Fourth Raikage, no one else.

The Hidden Cloud Village, which suffered a crushing defeat, will at most fall into a certain degree of decline, but will not fall into chaos all at once.

That's the benefit of having a good heir.

Among all the three generations of Kage, Ōnoki is the oldest one. He is now an old man over 60 years old, but no one among the Iwagakure ninja can succeed him and become the new Fourth Tsuchikage.

The Iwagakure Village doesn't even have an outstanding Tsuchikage successor like Orochimaru, and it doesn't even have someone as barely qualified as Rasa.

what to do?

Tsuchikage Ohnoki was extremely distressed, but looking at the group of guys in front of him, he could only accept the reality helplessly.

[These guys are all idiots with rocks in their heads. There is no hope for them. ]

[Maybe I have to pick from the young people. Maybe there are still good ones among the kids nowadays.]

[Well, if you still can't pick one, then there aren't enough children in Iwagakure! ]

[After this battle is over, I will force that bastard Huang Tu to get married. Even if he is not good enough, my grandson may be a genius.]

[If it really doesn't work, I will be patient for another fifteen years to raise my grandchildren.]

[There is still hope for Iwagakure Village. ]
