"You, what kind of power is this, a special natural energy?"

"No, this is chakra."

In just a few seconds, Uchiha You realized that his previous judgment was wrong.

After this power was emitted and diluted, he could keenly distinguish that it was not natural energy, but an incredibly concentrated chakra.

Miwa Masayo did not have such a keen perception, and in her perception, it was still a powerful energy that she could not distinguish.

Uchiha You gently peeled off the sharp object, and it turned out to be a strange object nailed to the wild boar's thigh bone. It had grown together with the wild boar's bone.

There was no reaction when I reached out close or even touched it, but when I tapped it lightly with a knife, sparks flew out and the vibrations I had just felt also burst out.

Miwa Masayo also felt that this fluctuation was indeed chakra. Not only was its concentration incredibly high, but it also had a strong stimulation.

Pulling this metal-like object off the pig's leg bone and observing it carefully, Uchiha You discovered that it was a thin slice shaped like half a sunflower seed, with fresh fracture marks on one side and high-temperature burn marks on the other.

[This structure, coupled with the stimulation I felt, seems to have some impression, what is this thing? ]

Uchiha You thought hard, he was sure it was not an experience in this life, because his memory was very good now, and with the vision of the Sharingan, he could easily recall any details.

That can only be the memory of the previous life. After a death, the memory is vague after all. No matter how good the memory is now, there is no way to repair the blurred memory.

In the end, Uchiha You couldn't think of any useful clues, so he had to put the thing away, but what surprised him and Miwa Masayo was that this thing could not be stored in the sealing scroll.

"That's weird, meow. I never knew there were things that couldn't be contained by a sealing seal."

"I do know that the clan leader once said that ninja tools with space properties and artifacts like the Uchiha fan cannot be sealed and stored."

"Space attribute, divine weapon! Am I so lucky?"

"You, be sure to keep it safe and don't lose it."

Uchiha You wrapped the melon seeds in thick silk, stored them in a wooden box, put them at the bottom of his backpack, and then continued with his dinner.

But the second half of the dinner was very unpleasant. Even though there was no collision, the half melon seed still emitted a chakra fluctuation every once in a while, making Uchiha You uneasy.

This is equivalent to a large coordinate display, announcing its existence to everyone around at any time. This is not a risk that a ninja can afford.

After barely finishing his meal, Uchiha You began to try to block the melon seeds. He tried all the containers he had, but none of them could block the spread of the strange chakra.

Only by inserting it into the wild boar's meat can this half-eaten melon seed calm down.

The problem was temporarily solved, but Uchiha You was not happy. He said to Miwa Masayo: "The problem is that this meat will rot. What should we do with it later?"

Miwa Masayo was also at a loss. After much thought, she came up with a whimsical and absurd idea: "Yu, I think you can eat it. You, are such a big eater..."

As the man and the cat looked at each other, the tabby cat's voice gradually became smaller, and finally it lowered its head and dared not say any more.

Uchiha You was not angry. On the contrary, he really thought that this seemed to be a feasible method. Because of Miwa Masayo's words, he noticed the desire of his body that went against common sense.

He, Uchiha Yu, wanted to eat that thing that looked like metal.

It's ridiculous and unbelievable.

The physical desire existed from the beginning, but Uchiha You initially mistook it for a desire for pork. Even after eating a whole leg of a wild boar, he still couldn't reduce the feeling of hunger.

When I saw this half melon seed, my body's desire reached a new height, but the deep-rooted "common sense" directly denied the correctness of my body's desire.

People cannot eat metals directly. All metal-like substances are toxins to humans. The larger the atomic weight, the stronger the toxicity. Some heavy element metals are particularly toxic.

In short, all metals cannot be eaten, this is an iron rule of common sense!!

This is the most terrifying "obstacle of knowledge and views" among practitioners. The once correct knowledge and insights have become the biggest obstacle to understanding new things.

If it weren't for Miwa Masayo's ridiculous proposal, Uchiha You would probably have missed the impulse of his body's desire and missed this opportunity. Because of the powerful force of habit of the human body, there might never be a next time.

But the obstacle of knowledge and perception is not so easy to overcome. Even though he was aware of the body's desires, and even though he had relied on physical pleasure as a guide throughout his cultivation, Uchiha You was still conflicted.

Brain: It can’t be eaten. How can metal be eaten?

Body: I ​​want to eat!

Brain: How to eat? Even if the teeth don’t fall off, what about the throat, esophagus, and stomach?

Body: I ​​want to eat! I want to eat!!

Brain: How can I digest it after eating it? Something so sharp that it can pierce into the pig's leg bones will cut the intestines!

Body: I ​​want to eat! I want to eat! I want to eat!

Brain: I'm going to %@%#

Body: I ​​want to eat! ! ! !

Brain: ...

In the end, Uchiha You's body defeated his brain: If you want to eat... then eat!

He looked at the uneasy Miwa Masayo and said with a smile: "Thank you for your reminder. I think eating it is indeed the best way to deal with it."

Miwa Masayo: “Meow!?”

"You, you, you, don't scare me. I'm not afraid of you. It's not my fault if you die..."

"Meow! Don't eat it—"

Of course the tabby cat couldn't stop Uchiha You. He threw the half-eaten melon seeds into his mouth with the most determined attitude, then closed his eyes and chewed them hard.

Crack, crack, crack, crunch, crunch...

As the teeth and strange objects collided, all kinds of strange sounds were made, some as crisp as breaking pearls and jade, and some as harsh as nails scratching on a blackboard.

The strange object was broken, and especially when Uchiha You subconsciously mobilized the natural energy of fire to assist it, it softened noticeably, gradually becoming as soft as taffy, and even showing great stickiness.

As the strange object softened, the throat no longer resisted the action of swallowing, and sent waves of debris into the esophagus, which then moved them into the stomach.

Uchiha You suddenly realized that he didn't know his stomach at all. It wasn't a stomach, it was a furnace, a blazing furnace!!

After the strange object debris entered the stomach, it did not stimulate the secretion of gastric juice or bile. Instead, the natural energy of fire spontaneously gathered in the stomach. The natural energy condensed into a blazing, almost white flame, melting the debris and further decomposing the melted matter into imperceptible substances.

Then, absorb it!

The stomach actually absorbed those imperceptible substances. Some of them were sent into the blood vessels, flowing through the heart to the whole body, and some of them were sent into the meridians and merged into the torrent of natural energy, triggering changes that he could not understand.

The body did not react abnormally to the changes in natural energy, and even began to show signs of excitement. This was a feeling Uchiha You was very familiar with, and it was a sign of the beginning of a breakthrough.

He smiled and said to the frightened Miwa Masayo: "Thank you for your advice. I finally found my way."

“My way is to eat!”

"Meow?"

The next moment, powerful natural energy burst out from Uchiha You's body, the foundation building entered a new stage, and new attributes of natural energy began to gather.
