I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

It was the first time for Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama to see the Tree Man, and they were extremely curious about the puppet created by this ninjutsu.

To be fair, although the tree man is very tall, he is not very powerful.

Their movements are slow and their attack power is average. Only the body and the clay shell on its body have strong defense.

But in a ninja battle, defense is not always that important. Unless one can reach the level of thunder escape chakra mode, it will hardly become the key to the outcome of the battle.

The tree man's defense cannot withstand a qualified chuunin, and the tree man will be destroyed quickly under the attack of ninjutsu.

But there are half a million tree people in the small Miaomu Mountain in front of them, which is too many.

Can there be one hundred thousand chunin in the entire ninja world?

Senju Hashirama was not at all sure about this, while Senju Tobirama was very sure: "No, there are 47,000 chunin in Konoha, and the other two villages add up to a little more than 12,000."

He began to feel afraid of the wooden people all over the mountains and plains. Without the super-standard combat power like Hashirama, these five hundred thousand tree people alone would be able to defeat the entire ninja world.

Fortunately, their brothers saw Uchiha Yuu, who was standing with Miwa Masashi, drooling at the toads and snakes they had caught.

The two brothers' fear disappeared instantly.

Senju Hashirama said with a smile: "Fortunately, this technique belongs to Uchiha Yu. Fortunately, he is the least ambitious ninja in Konoha, otherwise the ninja world would be over."

Even the suspicious Senju Tobirama smiled and nodded, feeling in his heart: He is indeed very lucky.

After the Thousand-Hand Brothers were relieved, they gathered together again and murmured, studying how to use the Sea of ​​Trees.

Qianju Tojian asked: "Brother, you are an expert in wood escape. Why don't you know this technique?"

Senju Hashirama shook his head and said: "Tobirama, the art of tree people is not complicated. What is really scary is the number. I can create hundreds of thousands of tree people with all my strength, but I have no ability to control them."

"You see, these tree people can work together to assist each other, they can also handle work alone, and they can also change their working methods according to orders and the suggestions of those toads."

"This...this is completely different from a puppet!"

Senju Tobirama was shocked and came up with a possible idea: "Brother, do you think the Jutsu of Tree Man was developed by Uchiha Yuu combined with the Technique of Wood Clone?"

Senju Hashirama shook his head without hesitation: "How is that possible?"

"The art of wooden clones is the same as the art of multiple shadow clones. You know that the number of clones that can be controlled independently is limited."

"Not to mention hundreds of thousands of shadow clones, even a hundred are more than you can bear."

Senju Tobirama frowned and asked, "Brother, how many shadow clones or wood clones can you bear?"

Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment, silently calculated, and then replied: "If it is in the current state, I can create up to a thousand wooden clones."

"It can't be more."

Senju Hashirama pointed to his head: "Otherwise my head will collapse."

At this point, all the possibilities Senshou Tobirama could think of have been ruled out, and he looked thoughtfully at the trees covering every hilltop of Miaomu Mountain.

After a long time, he murmured: "Uchiha Yu has developed an amazing technique. I really want to know the secret behind this technique."

Orochimaru had been dealing with Uchiha Yu for a longer time, and he had guessed early on that Uchiha Yu had come up with something great.

With the support of this magical thing, many ninjutsu can produce incredible effects, especially with decisive advantages in scale and flexibility.

Therefore, Orochimaru was not very surprised by the tree man's technique. He focused his attention on the colorful barrier.

After careful observation, he confirmed that the skill behind this barrier was too powerful and could not be mastered by himself.

Orochimaru simply gave up the research, and waited patiently for Uchiha Yu to finish the conversation with Shisui, and then asked: "Uchiha Yu, should Myoboku Mountain be handed over to Konoha like Ryuji Cave?"

Uchiha Yuu replied: "Of course not. Konoha has been managing Ryūchi Cave for three years and can raise such a large group of snakes to extinction. It is impossible for me to hand over Mt. Myoboku to Konoha."

Orochimaru's face turned red. As the Hokage, he was also responsible for the destruction of the snakes in Ryūchi Cave.

Well, the responsibility is not big. After all, he didn't eat much of the delicious snake soup, but he consumed a lot of big snakes during the experiment.

No, no, no, that number is not much, at least it is nothing in front of the huge group of snakes.

The key to the demise of the Longdi Cave snake group is the issue of reproduction.

After the ownership of Ryūchi Cave was handed over to the Konoha Village, a large number of outstanding Konoha ninjas passed rigorous assessments and entered Ryūchi Cave for training and research.

In the Ryūchi Cave, some ninjas successfully developed celestial beings, opened up a new way of practicing celestial beings for Konoha Village, and made great contributions to the balance of power between the Snake Troops and the Tiger Troops.

The ninjas of the Aburame clan have bred brand-new parasitic bugs. The bugs called parasitic bugs are larger and stronger, allowing the Aburame clan to achieve their purpose of cultivating immortality through insects.

The ninjas of the Inuzuka clan are working hard to cultivate ninja dogs. Although Inugenren has not yet been born, the quality and strength of the ninja dogs are steadily improving.

In short, the ninjas of Konoha Village can do anything, but no one except Orochimaru is interested in snakes, so they can only barely maintain the survival of the snake group in the form of tasks.

Because no ninja paid attention to the living environment of the snakes, when an ecological crisis occurred in Ryūchi Cave, it was ignored.

The initial changes were small, except for the disappearance of the annoying cockroaches that were everywhere.

Perhaps some ninja's inadvertent experiment touched a certain link in the Ryujidong ecosystem, and the extremely tenacious genocide of cockroaches was exterminated.

With the extinction of cockroaches, the number of rats, which lost their important food source, was greatly reduced and they were quickly exterminated by snakes.

After the rats were extinct, it was the turn of the ordinary snakes in the snake group to suffer. Hunger and the hunting of the big snakes quickly destroyed the ordinary snake group.

When all the ordinary snakes died, the huge ecological disaster was finally discovered by the Konoha ninjas, but it was too late.

Those snakes and giant snakes that are rich in natural energy and extremely valuable have lost their food and can only rely on the blood food fed by Konoha ninjas to survive.

I don’t know why, even after the common snakes became extinct, these remaining large snakes did not lose their ability to reproduce and did not produce a single snake egg for two consecutive years.

It's just that it doesn't lay eggs. The giant snake also showed inexplicable symptoms of weakness. No matter how much meat it eats, it can't suppress its weakening trend.

In the end, the giant snakes lost their appetite one after another, relying solely on the energy stored in their huge bodies to survive.

In Konoha's 50th year, the last giant snake died of starvation, and there was no longer a snake in Ryūchi Cave.

Uchiha Yu lost the resources of Ryūchi Cave that he was looking forward to, and Orochimaru lost the last psychic beast.

Yes, Chiya, who had chosen to surrender, also died of systemic organ failure caused by hunger due to uncontrollable loss of appetite.

This is a painful lesson.

Now that Miaomu Mountain has been captured, a large number of toads and snakes are trapped in Miaomu Mountain and become captives and trophies of Huaguo Mountain.

Uchiha Yu looked at the pit full of toads and snakes, and his heart naturally ignited desire again.

The hope of cultivating spiritual creatures.

This is the unique racial instinct of the Yanhuang race, just like wanting to plant something after seeing fertile land, or wanting to play with a straight stick.

Even after Uchiha Yu explained it, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ayumi still found it difficult to understand.

This is caused by the different views of the two sides. Although the two younger brothers have successfully cultivated immortality and entered the Huaguo Mountain sequence, they are ultimately from the ninja world and are very different from the heads of their own families.

It was different when Miwa Masayo stood next to Uchiha Yu. She knew from the beginning that her Taoist monk wanted to eat delicious snake soup, hot pot toads and braised snake segments.

Well, the kitten with the tears of disappointment flowing from the corner of its mouth also wants to eat. If you want to eat, you have to catch it. If you catch too many, you have to find ways to breed it. Isn't this a natural thing?

The toads from Miaomu Mountain and the snakes from Ryūchi Cave are high-grade species bred in the two holy places for thousands of years. Their natural energy contained in their bodies is second only to the transparent small fish in the underground river.

The key is that the quantity is so large, as long as the breeding is good, it can definitely meet Huaguo Mountain's demand for meat.

With the experience of failed captivity in Ryūchi Cave, Yuu Uchiha had to consider the problem from a long-term perspective in order to satisfy his dietary needs.

For this reason, he let go of the intelligent toads and snakes whose fighting spirit had been wiped out. They could act as the administrators of Miaomu Mountain and directly manage those toads and snakes that were still animals.

As long as there is a layer of snakes and toads leading the way, the little toads and little snakes should not feel strong fear, which will not affect their urge to cook and squawk, and they can eat well, grow meat and give birth to children.

It just so happens that one of Uchiha Yuu's principles is that he will never eat creatures that have awakened wisdom.

Because wisdom is a miracle in the universe, it must be treated with the most basic respect as a human being at all times.

Intelligent beings can be treated as friends or strangers. Even if they unfortunately become enemies, just beat them to death. Eating them is absolutely not allowed.

Even those little toads and snakes that were farmed, as long as they were lucky enough to awaken their wisdom, Uchiha Yu would never eat them.

They will have three ways to go: those with flexible ideas can join the management team of Miaomu Mountain, those with bravery and fearlessness can die heroically, and those with determination can find a gap in Miaomu Mountain and escape by their own abilities.

The gaps are ready-made. As long as you search carefully, you will definitely find them. Uchiha Yu will never stop them.

As long as they can escape, Uchiha Yu will arrange for someone to be responsible for guiding them, so that these toads and snakes with the most outstanding talents can find the resistance group led by the immortal as soon as possible, so as to obtain a safe growth environment.

In Uchiha Yu's understanding, animals in captivity are always more fragile than wild animals.

This is not to say that captive individuals are poor in strength, but from a racial perspective, wild animals are more resistant to risks and will not be easily wiped out by a disease.

Just like those white and tender fat pigs in pig farms, they can usually easily crush those black wild boars, even if the wild boars have long tusks.

After all, a domestic pig that eats well and drinks enough to avoid being cold will definitely be fatter than a wild boar that eats the wind and drinks the dew. It is a basic rule among animals that the fat one is more powerful than the thin one.

However, the fat pigs in the pig farm are all medicine jars. Even if they are protected by antibiotics, they will be wiped out from time to time.

The farm-like Mt. Myoboku is similar to a pig farm. Toads and snakes can definitely be well fed, but they can never grow freely.

They must meet the standards of Huaguoshan’s meat requirements.

This means that in the future, toads and snakes will be manually screened and concentrated into only a few types, such as those that produce the most meat, those that contain the most natural energy, and even those with the best meat texture.

The most terrible thing is that such type strengthening will inevitably cause toads and snakes to become weak and vulnerable to plague and disease.

Moreover, excessive genetic homogenization will pose greater risks, just like the Big Mac banana on Blue Star. It is large, thick-skinned, sweet and fragrant, and is the undisputed king of bananas.

But Big Mac bananas around the world are vegetatively reproduced. From a genetic perspective, billions of Big Mac bananas are actually a single grass.

As Fusarium oxysporum mutated and became able to infect Big Mac, in just a few years this banana variety, which had been planted throughout Blue Star and had billions of clones, was helplessly extinct.

If it weren’t for the wild bananas, humans wouldn’t be able to eat bananas.

This is why the ginkgo tree, which is planted everywhere in China, is still a first-level protected plant and is listed as a critically endangered species.

Because all ginkgo trees in China are genetically one tree. As long as one is knocked down by some mutated fungus, it means that the countdown to the demise of all ginkgo trees has begun.

Therefore, protecting the toads that survive in the wild is an indispensable redundancy for raising toads and snakes in captivity in Miaomu Mountain.

Therefore, this sudden attack by Huaguo Mountain successfully destroyed Miaomu Mountain. The giant toad sage and white snake sage died intact, but two relatively weak sages, Shima sage and Ichikijima Hime, escaped.

There is another extravagant hope in Uchiha Yuu's heart:

Ten years after Senju Hashirama went to Konoha, the unified government of the ninja world that was born was able to achieve the unification of people's hearts, thanks to the ten-year natural disaster caused by the battle between three six-path-level experts.

So does this unfinished unification of time and space also need a real "enemy"?

Will the snake clan led by Ichikishima Hime and the toad clan led by Fukasaku Sennin be able to grow up in the future and assume the historical responsibility of tempering Konoha?

He sighed, the future of Konoha had nothing to do with him.

Uchiha Yu had already made up his mind. After the situation in Myoboku Mountain became unstable, he would go to a thousand years ago, to that ancient mythical era.

Through the information brought back by the [System], he has grasped the reason for Senju Hashirama's long-term stay, and is ready to stay for a thousand years at a time.

He will stay in this era from a thousand years ago in one breath, and then find a way to return to the current time and space after he has fully mastered the power of the Blood Succession Snare.

Or... never come back.

Yuu Uchiha deployed the Flying Thunder God Formation on the spot, channeled Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ayumi by translating the Flying Thunder God mark in Sharingan, and then handed over most of the work on Myoboku Mountain to them.

The next six people who came to raid worked together, led by Uzumaki Mito, to dismantle and rebuild the colorful barrier, and rebuilt it into a large barrier integrating invisibility and defense.

With the technology provided by Uchiha Yu, the defense method has been changed from arched force confrontation to a space-time maze that combines space folding and penetration.

In other words, contacting the barrier from any angle will not cause confrontation, but will only cause the person in contact to pass directly through the barrier and reach the other side of the diagonal line of the barrier.

Because of the effect of space folding, the person crossing the barrier will not even notice that he has experienced teleportation. All his senses will tell him: he just took a normal step forward.

The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, who was good at the flying thunder god technique, was actually unable to detect this kind of space travel.

Uzumaki Mito, who led everyone to build this barrier, could only discover the hidden barrier by relying on his knowledge that there was a barrier here and casting the sealing release technique at the coordinates.

Among all the people, only Yuu Uchiha, who developed the ability to sense space through constant time travel, was able to discover that the space here was folded.

Uzumaki Mito exclaimed: "This kind of barrier is really amazing. It turns out that barrier has such a development direction. It's really great."

Senju Tobirama has secretly decided that while he will continue to study dragon veins, he will also restart the development of the Flying Thunder God Technique. This kind of space enchantment is so interesting.

Orochimaru even made a request generously: "Second Hokage, let us work together to study the art of space."

Senju Tobirama agreed without hesitation: "No problem."

The space technology developed by Uchiha Yuu is too high-end. It is far from being comparable to the development of the flying thunder god technique. It requires careful research to get to the bottom of it.

Senju Tobirama felt his scalp numb just thinking about it. Orochimaru must have felt the same way, so he eagerly proposed joint research.

Uchiha Yuu didn't care at all about the connection between them.

He simply asked Orochimaru and confirmed that he was willing to leave everything behind and live in seclusion in Huaguo Mountain for a long time. He also promised not to reveal the secrets of Huaguo Mountain to the outside world, and then handed over the method of entering and exiting Huaguo Mountain to Orochimaru.

Uchiha Yu also designated a piece of land for Orochimaru and asked him to dig a hole at the foot of Nakamiya Mountain where he lived as a place for living and research.

Three months later, Uchiha Yu suddenly returned to Konoha Village with Uchiha Shisui, and urgently summoned the core members of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan gradually dispersed as Konoha grew stronger. It took two days to gather three Mangekyō, 82 Sanmagatama Jonin, and 655 members of the Tiger Force.

When 740 Uchiha gathered in Nanga Shrine, it seemed that the shrine could not keep up with the development of Uchiha. The huge hall was not enough to accommodate the three magatama jounin.

In desperation, the Uchiha could only hold a meeting in the courtyard.

Uchiha You first asked Uchiha Shisui to show his Mangekyō Sharingan, and then announced to the Uchiha clan amidst their cheers of surprise:

"From today on, Uchiha Shisui will take over from me as the head of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha You opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, scanned the 740 Uchiha ninjas present, and issued a final question: "This is my last order as the head of the clan..."

"Who agrees, who disagrees?"
