I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

In the dark underground dungeon, under the dim light of an oil lamp, one could barely see a naked and skinny man sitting blankly in the water, with his hands even shackled.

Uchiha Madara looked at the scene in front of him and asked in disbelief: "Is this really the Jinchuuriki of the Three-Tails?"

Black Zetsu replied respectfully: "That's him, Madara-sama."

Uchiha Madara was still in disbelief and asked again: "The Kirigakure Village treats jinchūriki like this, what are they thinking?"

Black Zetsu was also very helpless, shrinking his head and replied: "I don't know about this, Madara-sama, just because he didn't expect that the Jinchuuriki would be imprisoned in the water prison, White Zetsu searched all over Kirigakure Village and couldn't find it. he."

Uchiha Madara felt the chakra emitted by the living dead in front of him. It was indeed the special chakra of the Three-Tails, the kind of wind, water, and cold ice chakra.

He shook his head helplessly and confirmed the identity of the Jinchuuriki, but he could not understand the purpose of such an important abandonment and such a simple imprisonment.

"These rubbish in Kirigakure Village are indeed useless trash. I should have driven them all away in the first place. If Byakuren hadn't been decent, there really would be no need for Kirigakure Village to exist."

Uchiha Madara suddenly sneered: "Haha, it's luck, if the five great ninja villages are like Iwagakure and Kumogakure, I really can't find a breakthrough to implement the plan today."

He took half a step forward, but was forced back by the stench emanating from the Jinchuuriki's body. He frowned and said, "This guy's body is already emitting corpse odor. It's really troublesome."

"This kind of jinchuriki who is about to die is really troublesome. While I hypnotized the three-tailed Isofu, I also had to spend my energy to keep the jinchuriki alive, lest he die with the three-tails when I subdued him."

As he spoke, his eyes changed from black to three magatama sharingan, and then the three magatama rotated and combined to evolve into the complex pattern of Mitsubishi.

The terrifying blazing pupil power exploded and instantly filled the entire water prison.

With Madara Uchiha as the center, the filthy water in the water prison retreated in a circular shape, and was even forced to rush up the wall, revealing a floor full of mud.

The lower body of the dying Jinchuuriki was also revealed. Uchiha Madara noticed that there were thicker shackles on the ground and covered with red rust spots, which firmly fixed the Jinchuuriki's feet.

He couldn't help laughing and said mockingly: "Hehehe, the lock is so strong, it seems you really made a lot of noise, little Jifu."

The Jinchuuriki suddenly spoke, but his voice was very strange, as if it was separated by a thick wall: "Unfamiliar Mangekyō Sharingan, you, are you the Uchiha of Konoha Village?"

Uchiha Madara: "I changed my eyes, but my pupil power has not changed. Can't you still remember who I am?"

After a long silence, Isofu's voice sounded again: "...You should be dead, Uchiha Madara."

Although it still felt like being separated by a thick wall, the fear and trembling in the words could not be concealed at all. This made Uchiha Madara deeply satisfied. The corners of his mouth curled up: "I am indeed dead, but I still escaped from hell." Climbed out, in order to save this ninja world, I need to use your power."

Isobutsu stopped talking, and the tailed beast chakra emanating from the Jinchūriki suddenly retracted, just like a turtle retracting its head and limbs, leaving only its hard shell outside.

"After all these years, I still only shrink back when I encounter an enemy, without making any progress at all."

"Don't worry, I won't take your life this time, and I won't peel you out of your turtle shell! Come out! Come out!"

The jinchuriki's body trembled obviously, and it seemed that Isofu, who was hidden in the seal, thought that Uchiha Madara's words recalled the horror that made it engraved in his heart.

Uchiha Madara's eyes released stronger and stronger pupil power. Under his strong control, all the pupil power gathered together, like a pair of long swords piercing the jinchuriki's eyes.

The Jinchuuriki opened his mouth wide and seemed to be screaming silently, but he was too weak. Not to mention screaming, he couldn't even do basic shaking.

Uchiha Madara's eyes began to shed blood and tears. These were not his original eyes. Not only were they not easy to use, they could not even withstand his powerful eye power.

He couldn't help complaining: "It's really troublesome. Not only do I have to protect the jinchuriki's life, but I also have to protect these fragile eyes."

The dog-legged Black Zetsu praised: "Madara-sama's power is really too powerful. Only your own Samsara Eye can withstand your power."

Uchiha Madara smiled and said: "Hehe, okay, I caught you, Isofu."

Isofu's voice sounded again: "What do you want to do when you catch me, kill me? Haha, thank you very much for that."

"No, killing you means letting you go free. You are still useful to me, so I won't kill you. I will use illusion to control you."

"Hmph, jinchūriki can't be controlled by genjutsu!"

"Indeed, the common sense in the ninja world is that Jinchuuriki will not be controlled by genjutsu, but how can the common sense of the ignorant world restrain a genius?"

"Isofu, can your Jinchuuriki still help you get rid of genjutsu now?"

"If you and the Jinchuuriki are controlled by genjutsu at the same time, can you still help each other break free at the same time?"

"And after I control you, I will erase this memory of yours. You will never know that you are being controlled. How can you save yourself?"

"You think your Jinchuuriki is dying and that if you die just once, you'll be able to get away with anything?"

"Haha, you think my target is you now? Wrong, it's not you."

"The next time, no, the next time you are sealed and become a stable Jinchuuriki is my goal. Before that, you will forget that I have ever come to see you."

Isofu finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a desperate cry: "No..."

Uchiha Madara suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, my head finally showed up, I caught it!!"

The patterns in his eyes suddenly sped up, almost becoming a blur, and the power of his eyes exploded violently, rushing towards the Jinchūriki like a tide.

A few seconds later, Uchiha Madara, whose face was full of blood and tears, closed the Mangekyō Sharingan and breathed a tired sigh of relief. The water that had been forced away flowed back, submerging the lower body of the three-tailed Jinchuuriki again.

After standing still for three minutes, Uchiha Madara's breathing subsided. He wiped the traces of blood and tears on his face with a handkerchief and said with emotion: "It's finally done."

"Ageing is really scary. Forty years ago, it was just a look when I subdued the Three-Tails. Today, it's just hypnosis. It actually almost used up the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Black Zetsu, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said: "Madara-sama!"

Uchiha Madara was still immersed in his own emotions. He closed his eyes and asked casually: "Well, what's wrong?"

Black Zetsu looked at the door of the water prison and said, "The third Mizukage is here."

Uchiha Madara's eyes suddenly opened and he said in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can he get rid of my illusion control?"

"Madara-sama, shall we leave?"

Uchiha Madara didn't answer, he just glanced sideways at Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu understood what he meant instantly and spent a lot of effort to get the three tails. Uchiha Madara would not let the Third Mizukage inspect it at will. After all, this man from the Snow Clan broke through his illusion control.

Even if there is a possibility, he must eliminate this risk.

Knowing that a battle was about to happen next, he silently sank into the shadows and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the water prison was violently knocked open by the water column, revealing the figure of Mizukage and six ANBU ninjas from Kirigakure Village. They formed an attack formation and blocked the entrance of the water prison.

The ANBU ninja who used water escape first saw Uchiha Madara and shouted: "Who are you?"

The other ANBU ninjas were extremely surprised, and one of them even blurted out: "How dare someone really sneak into the forbidden area of ​​my Kirigakure Village!"

Uchiha Madara did not answer Kirigakure ANBU's question. He looked directly at the pale-faced Third Mizukage and asked, "How did you get rid of my illusion?"

"Are you an Uchiha from Konoha Village?" the Third Mizukage asked with a sneer.

He reached out and unfolded a water mirror in the palm of his hand. The figures of him and Uchiha Madara were magically reflected on the mirror, but there were no other six Anbu.

The third Mizukage sneered and said: "Ever since your Uchiha clan's ninja Shura invaded the Kirigakure Village, starting from the first generation Mejiroren-sama, all generations of Mizukage will practice this Water Release Heart Mirror and reflect themselves three times a day. Break all illusions."

"Especially the genjutsu of the Sharingan."

"I always thought this was an old and redundant habit. I didn't expect that Sharingan genjutsu could actually control a shadow. I didn't expect that Konoha Village would actually be so crazy that it would attack a shadow."

He roared loudly: "Does Konoha Village think that this is still the era when gods and demons still exist?"

Madara Uchiha laughed wildly, his laughter was a bit hoarse and weak, but the wanton madness and heroic demeanor conveyed made the third Mizukage's expression change drastically.

Uchiha Madara opened the Mangekyō Sharingan again and said coldly: "This time, I will make you completely forget about the Water Mirror Technique and become my puppet obediently."

The third Mizukage began to regret not informing more ninjas. He had never seen such a terrifying person. Even the first Mizukage Hakuren in his impression did not have such a terrifying aura.

He couldn't help but think that maybe if he brought three to five hundred ninjas to surround him, he wouldn't be so panicked.

He no longer dared to hesitate, waved his hand forward and ordered: "Take him down, life or death!!"

The ANBU ninjas picked up their weapons with trembling hands and rushed towards Uchiha Madara regardless of their own safety. They shouted at the top of their lungs: "Kill!"

Uchiha Madara just said coldly: "Ant."

…

Uchiha Madara was supported by Black Zetsu to leave Kirigakure Village. He was so weak that his breathing and the rumble from his trachea could be heard from a long distance away.

"I'm old, I'm really old. Kill six ninjas and control one Mizukage, and I'll be on the verge of death from exhaustion."

"If it were thirty years ago, I would have directly blocked the gates of the five major ninja villages and directly asked their shadows for tailed beasts. I would kill anyone who dared to resist. If anyone refused, I would bulldoze the entire village."

"Well, if I wasn't too old, why would I be like a sewer rat, hiding in the dark and doing all these messy things."

Hei Jue cheered in amusement and said: "Master Madara, this time the water shadow will not break free from your control."

"Haha, I didn't control Mizukage. I just gave him two hints and a false memory. He will only know that he repelled an assassination attempt by a mysterious ninja, but he will not remember any information about me."

"From now on, he will no longer check his mental state. He will also follow my hints to deal with the jinchuriki, seal the three tails completely, and will not recognize any new jinchuriki candidates."

"Madara-sama, since Mizukage has been guarding against the Sharingan's hypnosis, will anyone check his mental state?"

"No one would do this. I severely injured him. A deep mental examination would directly kill him."

Black Zetsu praised in a very stupid manner: "The Mizukage of Kirigakure Village is finished, Madara-sama is wise!"

Madara Uchiha said calmly: "How wise is this? This is proof that I am powerless. I also helped this monkey Sarutobi."

Black Zetsu suddenly interrupted Uchiha Madara and said, "Madara-sama, we have to speed up."

"Without the Mangekyō Sharingan, the erosion of Senju Hashirama's flesh and blood on you is terrible, and the fibrosis rate is too fast."

"Hashirama..."

Uchiha Madara touched his heart and murmured the name. After a long time, he said: "Let's go back as soon as possible."

…

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masashi walked happily on the sea, dragging a fresh and struggling octopus tentacle behind them.

This month, Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masashi went to seek bad luck on the octopus every few days, beat it up, dug out a few octopus pearls, cut off one of its legs and took them away.

The tentacle just cut off from the giant octopus is its last old tentacle.

Miwa Masashi said with regret: "What a pity, why does the octopus only have eight legs? I won't be able to eat it for a long, long time."

Uchiha Yu laughed loudly: "Be content, be content with what you have, Rika-chan."

"Besides, the octopus legs have already resurrected. As long as they mature over a period of time, we will have octopus legs to eat again. We should be content."

"After eating this leg, we have to go back and hand over the mission, and we have to return to the country of Yu."

"I hate Yu no Kuni, there is a strange smell everywhere, which makes cats nervous."

"It's strange, meow. I have never smelled this smell before, but it can scare meow."

Uchiha Yuu said: "You still have to spend time researching this issue. Rika-chan, you are a cat sage. Things that can make you scared and nervous must not be simple."

"No, meow. I don't want to study it. I think it's better to stay away from it, meow."

“Don’t run away from a problem, otherwise the problem will continue to bother you and may even form a psychological barrier in the future.”

"Don't meow, Cat Immortal has no mental disorder."

Suddenly, Uchiha Yu's movements stopped. He frowned and looked to the southwest. Through the memory image from the disintegration of the shadow clone, he saw the ninja army in Kirigakure Village.

"New Year's Day is coming soon, why are the bastards from Kirigakure Village out in force at this time?"

"The Kirigakure Village is going out in force, nya?"

"You can't be wrong. There are fifteen large ships and more than a hundred small ships. They are all densely packed with ninjas. There are at least five or six thousand ninjas. They must have been dispatched in large numbers."

Miwa Masashi was stunned. She turned her head and looked behind her: "What should we do with our octopus legs?"

"Bake it as we go, and we'll eat it on the way."

"Octopus legs have no fat, so grilling them is not as delicious as pan-frying them."

"Stop complaining, let's go."

In fact, the distance between the two sides is still very far. Uchiha Yu's shadow clone saw the location of the Kirigakure ninja army, which was in the Kingdom of Water. It would take at least a whole day for a sailing ship to sail from there to the Kingdom of Yu. .

He and Miwa Masashi had enough time to return to the uninhabited island, eat the sizzling octopus in peace, and then return to the country of Yu to report the news.

But at this time, every minute gained by calling the police to Konoha Village may save the life of a Konoha ninja.

Although Uchiha Yuu has no sense of belonging to Konoha Village, he does not know how many lives of Konoha ninjas can be exchanged for a peaceful meal. He is not so cold-blooded.

A few hours later, Orochimaru got the information about Uchiha Yu, and all Konoha ninjas mobilized and nervously began preparations for battle.

The military camp of the Konoha Ninja Army was full of ninjas running at extremely fast speeds, and it was a chaotic situation.

Uchiha Yu didn't like this atmosphere. After handing over the mission and information, he took Miwa Masayo and hid in the most remote corner of the camp.

The organizational form of the Ninja Legion is completely different from that of Blue Star. A commander like Orochimaru does not directly command the entire army. After he has conceived the tactics, he will break them down into different tasks.

Orochimaru will hand over key tasks in the mission to his direct subordinates to ensure the realization of tactical intentions and the advancement of the battle.

Most of the less critical tasks will be sent to the mission center, allowing ordinary ninja teams to take the initiative according to their own circumstances.

It's not that Orochimaru doesn't want to command everyone directly, but that the ninja army does not have a corresponding management system and does not have any basic conditions for direct command.

As the supreme commander, Orochimaru's organizational unit was actually a ninja team of three to four people.

In the Country of Yu, the Konoha Ninja Army has more than two thousand ninja teams of varying sizes. Their situation changes almost every hour. How can you let Orochimaru directly command them?

If we were to form larger squadrons of 30 people, brigades of 100 people, or even larger detachments of 500 or 600 people like ordinary people's armies, we would need more than 300 commanders at all levels to manage these ninjas well.

Among the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha Village, there are a lot of team commanders, but there are only a few who can command thirty people, and even fewer commanders who can command hundreds or even hundreds of people in battle.

To put it bluntly, Shimura Danzo could not command a hundred people to fight. He had no such experience at all.

Without enough qualified commanders and forcibly establishing a multi-level organization, you will encounter the problem of a bloated organization and ineffective command, which is not conducive to the ninja's ability to exert its combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, it is the mission mode that ninjas are most familiar with, which is more conducive for ninjas to exert their combat effectiveness.
