Miwa Masayo asked quietly, "Where's your hint?"

Uchiha You smiled awkwardly and replied, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for a mission. The village chief was very considerate and told me that he wanted to temporarily add a mission to protect Jiusen Village from being submerged by floods."

"Meow?"

"Yes, I have completed this mission, and the village chief was particularly thoughtful. He was willing to treat the flood as a ninja-level threat and set the mission to C-rank."

"Is it because of the large amount of money?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels, the maximum!"

Uchiha You proudly stretched out his right hand, with his five slender white fingers stretched straight, trying his best to express his pride.

Miwa Masayo squinted at the shit shoveler and sneered, "That's it?"

"You, Uchiha Yuu, a dignified immortal, would you care about a mere 150,000 ryo bonus, meow?"

"You are the man who controls the funds for the revival of the Uchiha clan, nya!!"

"You have a full 40 million taels of cash in your hand! 40 million taels, meow!!"

“It’s different.”

"It's different there, ow!"

The angry tabby cat pounced over, hugged Uchiha You's head, and bit his ear hard.

Of course, this "fierce" bite did not cause Uchiha You to feel any pain. Instead, Miwa Masaya's tongue touching his ear made him feel very itchy.

Uchiha You laughed innocently. He hugged the raccoon cat with both hands and patted her body gently, while explaining: "I cheated the 40 million taels, and I earned these 150,000 taels. Of course, they are different."

When Miwa Masayo found that her bite did not hurt her owner, she obediently let him hold her in his arms.

She questioned, "This 150,000 taels is indeed not a fraud, but the smell of violent intimidation is obvious. What is the difference between this and robbery or protection racket?"

"Rika-chan, that's not right. Did I protect Kyumori Village?"

"It's meow."

"So I didn't say anything threatening?"

"..., it's already so obvious, is there any need to say it?"

Uchiha You held the tabby cat and jumped on the rocks he made. Wherever he went, the rocks made a rumbling sound and then shrank back into the mountains.

He explained to the villagers that this rock dam was pulled out from the mountain and must be put back in, otherwise the mountain would become brittle and more prone to landslides in the future.

After he said this, he immediately took action to push the rock dam back little by little.

Originally, there were a few villagers who questioned the village chief, believing that the ninjas should not be rewarded with money and tasks, otherwise...

No matter why, all the villagers shut up.

Now they think that the village chief's thinking is very correct and full of foresight and wisdom, and he is worthy of being the village chief elected by everyone.

When all the rock dams disappeared, the village chief handed Uchiha You a certificate of mission completion, a document explaining the additional mission, and money.

The maximum bonus for a C-level mission is 150,000 taels, but the person issuing the mission will have to pay more than 150,000 taels because Konoha Village will take a cut.

But Uchiha You accepted it himself. After all, people just wanted to give him money. What he wanted most was the time needed to complete the additional tasks, not the money as a reward for the tasks.

Miwa Masayo was right, he was no longer short of money.

But time is scarce. Uchiha You needs time to delay the date of joining the war. He needs time to investigate the natural energy of the newly discovered barrier lake.

It takes time to arrange for the cat castle to occupy the barrier lake and build the eternal lamp that Sanlun Yashi needs.

Uchiha You still needs time to think about foundation building. As time goes by, feedback from his body tells him that the first stage of foundation building is about to be completed.

With such an important event happening, what would Uchiha You face? There was no ready-made example in the ninja world to refer to, and there was no precedent in the way of immortals that he knew of.

Every step forward on the path to immortality can only be achieved through one's own exploration.

In this situation, what Uchiha You needs most is luck. If he has the lucky halo of the protagonist, no matter what difficulties and obstacles there are, they will not be a problem. Even the most terrible crisis can be turned into a blessing and eventually become a greater opportunity.

But luck is elusive, and Uchiha Yuuka had never won a lucky jackpot in his previous life. He didn't think that he could get through everything by relying on luck.

Luck is unreliable, and what Uchiha You needs is time.

With time, he can think more about the details of the operation of his meridians, observe more of his own changes, and have more opportunities to trigger [Heart Blood **] to judge possible dangerous problems in the foundation-building period.

After getting everything, Uchiha You once again confirmed that he had eliminated all traces of the rock dam and left a large amount of fresh soil.

Uchiha You thought about it over and over again for a few minutes, and confirmed that there was no problem. The frightened village chief opened his eyes.

His pupils had turned into a pair of Sharingan, and the three magatama were fully activated before he opened his eyes, and the three small magatama were spinning, leaving afterimages.

Sharingan: Hint

Suggestion is not memory erasing. Ninjas will not use brain exploration techniques on villagers because the other party cannot withstand the exploration, nor can they withstand the ninjutsu that conceals memory modification. Skilled ninjas only need simple techniques to hypnotize the villagers and make them recall all the details they thought they had forgotten.

Chakra and ninjutsu have long created a gap between ninjas and ordinary people, forming a class barrier that is greater than the possession of money and capital.

Uchiha You's hint was simple, he did not forcibly modify any facts.

He did not change his appearance last night, but the time of his appearance was changed to be earlier.

He did jump out of the water, but the huge waves and flood when he appeared were separated, making people presumptuous enough to judge that the flood and Uchiha Yu's appearance were not synchronized.

The magical ninjutsu he used to save Kyumori Village remained unchanged, but the name of the technique he used was changed to "Earth Flow Castle Wall". Combined with a row of destroyed houses, all ninjas would confirm that this was correct.

And he automatically imagined a stupid Konoha ninja who put up resistance along the road to Kyuomori Village and saved all the logs and two-thirds of the houses in Kyuomori Village after paying a huge price.

At this point, the two points that Uchiha You jumped out of the flood when it was close to its peak, and that he used a technique to suppress the massive flood, were drowned out by people's spontaneous imagination.

People's imagination is naturally self-consistent. Even if a fool's imagination is indeed problematic, he himself will not notice it.

When a ninja comes to investigate and finds that the memories and impressions of ordinary people are consistent, he will not bother to explore the brain further, but will assume that the information is accurate and end the investigation from there.

After doing all this, Uchiha You took Miwa Masayo away. In front of everyone, the two of them went downstream to the south, but in fact, as soon as they left the village's sight, they turned back to the north and rushed to the nameless barrier lake at the fastest speed.

Uchiha You stood on the dry dam, stretched out his arms to embrace the entire lake, and said happily: "When I put my arms around, all the land, mountains, and lakes that he can see in his field of vision belong to the Cat Castle."

"Yours and mine, too."
