The Uchiha clan of Konoha Village chose Zhengong Mountain, the Yuki clan of Xue Village chose Duigong Mountain, and there were only five peaks left in the Jiugong Mountain of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Holy Land whose ownership was undecided.
After hearing the news, Maoyou from the Cat Castle became even more anxious.
It urged the ninja cats more and more urgently, making the kittens groan in pain.
Because the pain brought by coercion outweighs the enjoyment brought by delicious food, the ninja cats inevitably feel resentful and even have the idea of escaping.
The calico cat Yaeko was the first to take action. In order to avoid the oppression of the clan leader, she slipped to Uchiha Shisui according to the summoning contract.
With the help of her contractor, Yaeko managed to sneak into the Flower-Fruit Mountain with ease.
The most outrageous thing was that she even boasted to the clan leader Mao You: "My Lord, I have entered the Flower-Fruit Mountain, meow. I have completed your mission, meow."
Maoyou was so angry that he was furious, but he could do nothing about the calico cat.
This kitten is Miwa Masayo's biological sister and the old woman's favorite little cutie. Maoyou really doesn't dare to punish her harshly.
Moreover, Yaeko is either hiding in Konoha Village or staying in the Holy Land of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Maoyou's hands are not that long and he can't reach these two places at all.
Following the example set by the calico cat, the kittens that had signed contracts with the Uchiha ninjas ran away and hid in Konoha Village, refusing to return to the Cat Castle.
The Ninja Cat's training plan collapsed and failed completely.
At this point Maoyou also realized his mistake. He had pushed too far, which resulted in overdoing it and making the ninja cats in the cat castle lose interest in their practice.
So at Uchiha You's suggestion, it changed its course, abandoned its high-pressure coercive policy, and switched to the policy of gourmet food.
If you practice in the cat castle, you will be rewarded with colorful squids. If you practice seriously, you will be rewarded with fish balls. If you make obvious progress in practice, you will be rewarded with dried fish. Accumulated dried fish can be exchanged for octopus legs.
If there is an obvious breakthrough, you can even directly reward it with underground fish.
This is an incredible reward, even Miwa Masayo finds it very tempting.
As a result, the training atmosphere in the Cat Castle became active again, and the speed of progress was significantly accelerated, and finally results were achieved in the early 51st year of Konoha.
Tanida Neko is a tabby cat and the younger sister of Miwa Masayo.
She is extremely sensitive to numbers and has been helping Granny Cat with her business, but she is very introverted and doesn't like to meet outsiders.
No one would have thought that this shy little ninja cat was actually a greedy cat, who was full of energy because he was tempted by delicious food.
She never communicated with anyone and always practiced quietly like a cat hiding away, but her progress was indeed unexpected.
What was unexpected was that she did not encounter the so-called foundation-building level, and she passed it without any obstacles just like Miwa Masayo.
But what is even more amazing is that when the Valley Cat successfully established its foundation, a second tail grew out from the base of its tail, and the new tail condensed the natural energy of the wind spirit.
The originally ordinary tail of the Valley Cat also underwent a transformation and simultaneously condensed the natural energy of the Fire Spirit.
When the two tails swung, the wind spirit and the fire spirit were naturally stimulated. The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. The two forces complemented each other and increased their power by half out of thin air.
The amazing achievements of the Taneda cat made Grandma Cat and Maoyou very happy.
Miwa Masayo even went out personally to bring his sister to Huaguo Mountain.
She also selected Riguya Mountain in the Flower-Fruit Mountain as the Cat Castle in the name of Tanida Cat as the residence of the Ninja Cat Clan.
The little kitten Gu Tianmao likes Huaguoshan very much, but she likes Granny Cat even more.
So she did not choose to settle down in Huaguo Mountain. She usually stayed in the Cat Castle, sitting on Grandma Cat's lap, helping Grandma Cat to calculate accounts and organize the account books.
The third cat sage appeared in the Cat Castle. He not only represented the entry of the Cat Castle but also was the third two-tailed cat in the ninja world after the Two-tailed Matatabiki and the Ninja Cat Clan leader Nekoyu.
Miwa Masayo is not a two-tailed cat. When she started to build her foundation and grew her second tail, she showed the aptitude of a nine-tailed cat. This is the biggest difference between her, a nine-life cat fairy, and other two-tailed cats.
With the successful establishment of the foundation by Gu Tian Cat, the reputation of Cat Castle soared, and its leadership position in the Warm-Blooded Immortal Alliance became more solid.
The Flower-Fruit Mountain, which accepted the Uchiha Sage, the Snow Village Sage and the Cat Castle Sage, is even becoming as powerful as the Myoboku Mountain and the Wet Bone Forest.
Perhaps in the near future, Huaguo Mountain will be officially recognized as one of the three holy places, and a multi-ethnic holy place.
After two years, ninjas from various countries and various ninja beast families knew that Ryuchi Cave had been breached and occupied by Konoha Village.
Although the snake immortals of the Longdi Cave lineage have not been completely wiped out and no one knows where they are hiding to survive, there is no doubt that Longdi Cave is no longer among the holy places.
The situation in the ninja world in Konoha in the 51st year was relatively stable, but this was only the feeling of the ninjas in Konoha Village.
In the eyes of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and the Hidden Sand Village, the situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more dangerous. An earth-shaking war may break out at any time and completely destroy the ninja village that they have inherited for 50 years.
Although the Iwagakure Village still exists, and there are even more than a dozen different Iwagakure villages, in the eyes of the ninjas of the three major ninja villages, the Iwagakure Village that once participated in the three Ninja World Wars and fought fiercely with the Konoha Village, the Kumogakure Village, and the Sand Village no longer exists.
In the largest Iwagakure village, even the Iwagakure ninjas in it believed that they were no longer one family with the Iwagakure ninjas led by successive Tsuchikage.
Although the dozen or so underground Iwagakure villages claim to be orthodox, and the fourth, fifth and even sixth Tsuchikage in the villages are the direct successors of the third Tsuchikage, everyone knows what is going on with them.
These Iwagakure ninjas of the old times have no hope. They are just relying on their familiarity with the complex terrain of the Land of Earth to survive in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
They don't even have the ability to recruit a new generation of ninjas. In a few years, they will decline and be wiped out by the Iwagakure Village, which is supported by the Konoha Village. There is no need for the Konoha ninjas to take action at all.
Although the ninjas from the three major ninja villages felt deeply desperate, they still had spirit and still wanted to resist and persevere.
However, small and medium-sized ninja villages, such as Taki Village in Taki Country, Tani Village in River Country, Kusa Village in Grass Country, and Hoshi Village in Bear Country, have given up resistance from their leaders to the lower-level ninjas.
The ninjas of these ninja villages followed the trend, kicked out their own nobles, directly seized the country's political power, and enjoyed the abundant resources.
They have already made up their minds that when Konoha Village is ready and reaches out to them, they will not hesitate to take advantage of the situation and choose to join.
Being able to form an existence like the Iwagakure Village is also a very good result.
Among a large number of small and medium-sized ninja villages, the Rain Village in the Land of Rain is the most special. The Hidden Rain Ninjas do not feel despair, nor do they feel that any crisis is coming.
Their leader, Lord Nagato, once destroyed tens of thousands of ninja forces with a single blow.
The Hidden Rain Ninjas have never been bullied by Uchiha Yu, and they cannot understand what true strength is, so in their hearts their leader is the strongest ninja.
With the protection of the strongest ninja in the ninja world, how could the Hidden Rain Village be in danger?
Nagato and Konan are even more confident than the Amegakure ninjas, because the Akatsuki organization is growing rapidly and has absorbed several Kage-level ninjas.
These Kage-level ninjas include the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village, the new generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village, Hoshigaki Kisame who wields the large sword Samehada, and Hiruko, a classmate of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village who possesses four bloodline limits.
In addition to Kakuzu who came from Takigakure, and Scorpion who came from Sand Village, the core members of Akatsuki are all rebel ninjas from various ninja villages.
Even most of the jonins below the Kage-level ninjas are rebel ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village.
Although these ninjas are all rebels, the strength of Akatsuki's leader Nagato is so strong that he is able to suppress these unruly and troublesome ninjas.
The environment in which the rebel ninjas survived also underwent drastic changes.
Due to the strong rise of Konoha Village, the power of ninjas directly controlling state power was so strong that the Konoha ninjas actually drove the omnipotent Kanjinsho out of the Land of Fire.
Even in the countries surrounding the Fire Nation, the existence of gold exchange offices is shaky, and both capital operations and mission issuance have suffered serious losses.
With the decline of the Kankin-jo, the foundation on which the wandering ninjas and the rebel ninjas depended for survival collapsed. With nowhere else to go, the core members of the Akatsuki organization showed extremely strong loyalty.
This made the Akatsuki organization grow rapidly in strength, and Nagato became more and more confident in completing his plan for peace in the ninja world.
No matter what the Akatsuki organization thinks, as Konoha Village becomes stronger and stronger, the situation in the ninja world is actually completely controlled by the Hokage.
Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru and the most powerful ninja Uchiha Yu have the final say.
Therefore, when Orochimaru was obsessed with various experiments, Uchiha Yuu did not appear for years, and the acting Hokage Minato Namikaze lacked authority, Konoha Village showed no intention of expansion, and the ninja world was naturally peaceful.
As Konoha Village prospered and other ninja villages were either treading on thin ice or lying in wait for death, the ninja world entered a relatively stable period of peace.
Uchiha You took the opportunity to launch a new round of time travel experiments and sent several Uchiha clan members to the past.
The time it took the Uchiha to arrive was getting longer and longer, and when they returned, the [System] they carried with them recorded precious data.
Thanks to the efforts of these brave experimenters, Uchiha You has made great progress in time travel.
But the time traveler he was expecting never came back. After Hashirama Senju opened a new parallel time and space in the 10th year of Konoha, it lasted for a whole year without being pulled back by the power of time.
This is the most important discovery.
In the past, whether it was Uzumaki Naruto's passive time travel or Uchiha Yu's active physical and soul time travel, they were all achieved by relying on the power of time of the dragon vein.
Although the dragon vein's power of time is enormous, the amount that can be carried by humans through time is very limited.
Most of it will be consumed when crossing the long river of time, and it will not last long in parallel time and space or other time points before it is exhausted.
Without the protection of the dragon vein's power of time, the time traveler's existence will be corrected by the river of time and pushed back to the original point in time.
Uzumaki Naruto's inexplicable passive time travel meant that he couldn't even keep his own memories.
After research, Uchiha You mastered some of the characteristics of the dragon veins, had a clearer understanding of the laws of time, and developed a time seal.
With the help of the time sealing technique, the time consumed by the traveler in the long river of time is reduced by 99%, and the loss in the parallel time and space is also reduced by more than half.
Therefore, the time that travelers can stay is greatly increased, from a few days to several years.
But according to the rules of the long river of time, the time in parallel time and space will show an expansion effect on each other. Even if it is a few years, it is only a few short days from the perspective of the World Gate.
Adding the time consumption of returning through the long river of time, even for the most time-consuming return trip into the future, the longest record is only four months for Zabuza Momochi.
Senju Hashirama was gone for more than a year. Due to the time dilation effect, he had stayed in the parallel universe for at least twenty years.
He hadn't been rejected for such a long time, and there was no sign of him returning. He must have done something special.
This allowed the dragon vein power in his body to be preserved for a long time, or perhaps the dragon vein power was replenished in some way. This allowed him to withstand the correction of the long river of time for years after tearing apart new time and space.
This is the knowledge that Uchiha You needs most, and it is also the last problem he needs to solve.
He has now mastered the technology of time traveling through thousands of years, and after conducting animal and human experiments, he can ensure the safety of two people traveling through time.
The only thing he couldn't do was to allow the time traveler to stay in the past for a full thousand years without being pushed back by the river of time prematurely.
Now it’s up to Hashirama Senju.
Uchiha You is now like a watchtower, spending most of his time every day staying outside the Gate of the World, transforming himself into a time and space barrier, observing the parallel time and space torn apart by Hashirama Senju.
His heart was full of contradictions.
He was looking forward to the first Hokage's quick return so that he could get information as soon as possible and start researching the last problem of time travel.
He also hoped that Hashirama Senju could come back a little later so that he could obtain more reliable time and space residence technology, allowing him to stay for a longer time after traveling through time.
…
The time traveler, Hashirama, was a very thick-skinned man and he had long forgotten that he had traveled through time.
In the 10th year of Konoha, he joined hands with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha to launch a war to unify the ninja world, which once again set off a huge wave in the ninja world.
The Sand Village, which had not yet become stable, was the first to suffer.
Under the pressure of the overwhelming primeval forest spreading from the Land of Fire, the Sand Village ninjas, who had not yet developed puppetry, were weak and had no power to fight against the Konoha ninjas.
In helpless despair, the Sand Village ninjas actually scattered and dispersed in family units.
Most of the Sand Village ninjas chose to surrender, put on the forehead protectors of Konoha Village, and transformed themselves into Konoha ninjas.
A few Sand Village ninjas chose to escape. They were all large ninja clans. They crossed the desert with their families, passed the Bear Country and Bird Country in the north, and entered the Earth Country.
In the end, they all joined the Iwagakure Village, became Iwagakure ninjas, and strengthened the power of the Land of Earth.
Not only does the Konoha Village have the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, they also found Uchiha Madara, and even got the time traveler Hashirama out of thin air. The power increased by these three people together is definitely not just three times, it's thirty times!
The Sand Village was the first to suffer, but the Cloud Village and the Iwagakure Village were not doing well either.
There were less than 20,000 ninjas in Konoha Village at that time, and it was impossible for them to mobilize a large ninja army to attack two major countries at the same time, but they dispatched their two strongest ninjas.
Uchiha Madara went to the Land of Lightning. His Susanoo was so powerful that it could reach heaven and earth. He danced the battlefield dance in the Hidden Cloud Village for four hours and left in a leisurely manner after having a great time.
The Battlefield Dancer was ruthless and had no scruples about killing people, leaving corpses all over the Hidden Cloud Village. The once powerful ninja village was completely reduced to ruins.
The first Raikage Ai, sent.
The time traveler Hashirama went to the Land of Earth and planted big trees in this barren country.
Especially around the Iwagakure Village, densely packed large trees grew overnight. These large trees stood shoulder to shoulder, root to root, completely blocking the road for hundreds of kilometers.
The Iwagakure ninjas naturally could not tolerate this. Since they couldn't find the time traveler, Hashirama, they desperately attacked the big trees created by the Wood Release, trying to destroy the forest.
The attacks of the Iwagakure ninjas are mainly earth-style ninjutsu. Neither rocks nor rock bullets are enough to destroy wood-style ninjutsu.
No matter how many rocks are raised, or how many rock bombs are piled up to hit them, it is just insignificant damage to the forest covering hundreds of kilometers.
On the contrary, the attacks of the Iwagakure ninjas provoked the forest's automatic counterattack. Countless Iwagakure ninjas were pierced by the animated branches and bled to death, or were entangled by tree roots and strangled when they entered the forest and tried to set fire.
The first Tsuchikage Ishigawa led the team into the forest and was almost trapped in the forest. He used the super light rock technique to fly high up and thus escaped with his life.
This battle crushed the morale of the Smoking Ninjas. They had been severely beaten by Uchiha Madara seven or eight years ago, and thousands of ninjas were blocked by one person at the gate of the village.
The First Tsuchikage had no choice but to accept the request to attend the Five Kage Conference in person before Uchiha Madara could leave satisfied.
So many years have passed, and they have studied countless methods to try to increase the power of earth-style ninjutsu and destroy Susanoo.
Currently, two methods stand out, one is Kekkei Genkai Explosion Release, and the other is Blood Elimination Dust Release, but neither has been successfully developed yet.
But what makes the Iwagakure ninja despair is that what good will it do even if the development is successful?
This time, the attacker from Konoha Village was the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama. The thriving Wood Release Forest was like a sponge, easily absorbing the attacks of the Iwagakure ninja.
To put it bluntly, the scale of the Wood Release Ninjutsu was too large, and the damage caused by the Earth Release Ninjas with their all-out efforts was not even as fast as the forest's automatic recovery.
What the hell is this!
Even if Explosion Release and Dust Release are successfully developed, and their power exceeds Earth Release by hundreds or thousands of times, their scale cannot be increased by hundreds or thousands of times.
Theoretically, the most suitable method to attack Wood Style is Fire Style, but the strongest Fire Style happens to be the Konoha ninja.
After personal experience, the Iwagakure ninjas finally understood why the first Hokage was called Hashirama Senju, and not Uchiha Madara who was proficient in Fire Style.
There is no other reason, it is determined by the strength of one's strength.
The ninja world in Konoha's 10 years was not what it was later. The four major ninja villages were not yet mature, the underground forces had not yet taken shape, the gold exchange had not yet been established, and the spread of news in the ninja world was very slow.
When the Sand Village was destroyed and the Wind Kingdom fell into the hands of Konoha Village, it was not until a few months after the Sand Village was relocated that the Mist Village, the Cloud Village, and the Iwagakure Village learned such important information.
It's too late for everything.
