I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

Thanks to everyone's much faster speed, the tiger troops ate iron plate octopus legs at noon that day.

Everyone praised it, the meat of the octopus legs was really delicious.

Moreover, fresh octopus meat is indeed more delicious than dried and rehydrated meat, and the heat generated in the stomach after eating is more powerful, making people energetic.

Uchiha Shigenobu also recovered at this time, and while eating the fragrant octopus meat without fear of death, he asked: "Brother Yu, this octopus meat is so delicious when cooked, but why is the raw meat so terrible? Hiroto and I are just He tasted a piece as big as a fingernail and fell down.”

Uchiha Yu smiled and said: "You actually want to ask why Miwa Masashi and I can eat raw fish and meat, right?"

Uchiha Shigenobu smiled sheepishly: "Hey, I do still have this question."

Masato Miwa replied: "It's very simple. You two, Shigenobu and Hiroto, are too weak to digest raw octopus meat. Problems with the digestive system will lead to disorders in various systems in the body, and various problems will naturally occur."

Uchiha Yu added: "Please note, the strength Miwa Masayo refers to is the degree of physical strength, and has nothing to do with proficiency in ninjutsu."

"Muscle strength, nerve reflexes, digestion ability, recovery ability, and chakra volume are all." He pointed to his eyes and said: "The Sharingan of our Uchiha family is also an important criterion."

"Of course, only when the Sharingan of the Three Magatama is awakened and no hemorrhagic disease occurs can the body's physical quality reach the standard."

Uchiha and Tsukasa were speechless. He also had a double magatama Sharingan now, but it was precisely because of this that he knew the weight of three magatama.

That was a Jonin, an elite Jonin, the highest rank below the Hokage, the serious high-ranking official of Konoha Village.

He stuck out his tongue and sighed: "Oh, the three Magatama Sharingan are too far away. Let's just eat cooked meat. Cooking it is easier than getting promoted..."

"Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a blow to his head.

Uchiha Yu retracted his finger, pointed at the fried octopus meat, and said: "Don't think that I just fried the meat. Do you still remember the various herbs and spices I brought?"

"In order to cook for you today, I used one tenth of the octopus meat to cook. In accordance with the principle of a monarch, his ministers, and his envoys, I used seventeen kinds of medicines and nine kinds of seasonings to blend and suppress the dryness of the octopus meat. This Only in this way can we ensure that the food can be digested quickly in the stomach.”

"If you just cook it and eat it, hey, maybe it will be worse than eating it raw."

Uchiha Yu's words shocked everyone, but then they relaxed. It turned out that this was also a medicinal diet, and it was much more complicated than the medicinal diet taught in the family.

At this time, the Uchiha brothers had experienced a lot, and they were very different from when they were in the village. After understanding this, they silently ate one more bite of meat, and at the same time, they thought that they must not tell anyone outside the Tiger Army.

We can no longer let our direct descendants steal our things.

Uchiha Yuya stopped talking, and that was the end of the topic.

For the next month, the sea was calm and the number of Kirigakure ninjas was getting smaller and smaller day by day.

Uchiha Yu taught the members of the Tiger Force to learn more ninjutsu, and together they studied how to use the power of everyone to fight against giant ninja beasts, as well as powerful elite ninjas and even shadow-level ninjas.

However, after actual combat training, it was found that there are ways to deal with giant ninja beasts, but there is no way to deal with powerful ninjas. Once a flexible and powerful ninja exceeds two levels, he will in turn become the most powerful enemy in tactics.

There is only one conclusion: only shadow-level ninjas can deal with shadow-level ninjas.

Uchiha Yu was a little disappointed with this result, but he was not depressed. He said cheerfully: "In the end, I can only hope that everyone will work hard to make progress and become an elite Jonin with the Three Magatama Sharingan as soon as possible. The super ninja has taken advantage of his tactics."

"But when you reach that level, you don't need any fixed tactics. Everyone's tacit cooperation is the way to go."

The Uchihas of the Tiger Troops lined up neatly replied in unison: "We will work hard!"

Uchiha Yu nodded in approval, and then he suddenly smiled and said: "Do you still remember that the time has come and I am going to check the vegetables you planted?"

"ah??!!"

It is the spring of Konoha's 44th year. Spring plowing in the Land of Fire has been completed, and it is time to start planting vegetables. But on the warm sea, it was the time for the first season of vegetable harvesting, and it was also the time set by Yuu Uchiha to check the results of his brothers' farming.

But it has to be said that the ninjas of Konoha Village are more focused on improving their own strength, spending all their time learning ninjutsu, honing their physical fitness, and practicing physical skills, and they put no effort into the vegetable fields at all.

What Uchiha Yu saw during the inspection was roughly dug out ground, messy vegetable seedlings, and waist-high weeds.

Uchiha Yu said helplessly: "This is not a vegetable field, it is obviously a wilderness."

But he did not criticize the Uchiha who was farming for this. He simply glared at him and said, "There is no need to farm anymore. It is a waste of seeds."

There are 83 Uchihas in the Tiger Force and 83 small vegetable plots, all of which look like this.

Uchiha Yuu was deeply disappointed, but he didn't show it on the surface. He only said a few words of mild criticism, and then it was over after one person was knocked over.

The Uchiha brothers all breathed a sigh of relief and were very happy that they no longer had to farm.

But Miwa Masashi knew that Uchiha Yuu's disappointment was quite severe, and he was even very depressed. So when the tiger troops couldn't see it, Li Huamao tried his best to comfort the shit shovel officer, hoping that his mood would improve as soon as possible.

Uchiha Yuu stroked Miwa Masayo's soft hair and listened to her purring tremolo. It still took him almost a whole day to get rid of his depression.

"My heart is really not young anymore."

"How do you say meow?"

"My brothers were taught a lesson by the octopus. It only took three or four hours for their physical strength and mood to recover together. But I... was just disappointed. With your comfort, it still took me a day and a night to overcome the depression. Slow down."

"It is not easy to collapse when your mentality is stable, but it is more difficult to recover after a collapse. This is the mentality of the elderly."

"I'm lucky to have you, Rika-chan, thank you."

"You're welcome, Meow, you are my contractor, shit shoveler, and Taoist companion, Meow."

"By the way, meow, I just realized that you asked the Uchiha brothers to grow vegetables not to torment them, meow."

"Of course not, I just want to see if I can pick out a few disciples among them, real disciples."

Miwa Masashi suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "You, you want to teach immortality?"

Uchiha Yu nodded: "Yes."

"But, you're not afraid of the Third Hokage, nya?"

"I'm not afraid anymore. I will soon complete the foundation building period."

"Once I break through, I will definitely be able to introduce the natural energy of water spirits. By then, when all five spirits are complete, my power will definitely make a qualitative leap, and I will steadily become a strong Kage-level ninja."

Uchiha Yu tilted his head to one side and stared at the green vegetables, beans, peppers, eggplants and other crops he had grown, looking at the green and lush green.

He murmured to himself: "...Maybe it will be stronger."

Miwa Masayo couldn't understand Uchiha Yuu's mood at this time. The human heart is really too complicated, and a simple kitten really can't do it.

But she knew that her shit shovel would become more powerful and no longer even afraid of the Third Hokage. She was very happy.

So Miwa Masashi asked: "Yu, do you know when you will be able to break through, nya?"

When it came to this question, Uchiha Yu suddenly returned to reality and replied with a grin: "I don't know either."

"Meow?"

"I really don't know. I have enough chakras, sufficient natural energy, and a balanced and stable heart shape. After all, my body is fully prepared. There is only one opportunity left."

"What is a chance cat?"

"It's like eating rare metals in the Kingdom of Sichuan, eating octopus pearls on the sea, in, in..."

"I understand, Meow, your opportunity is to find the next delicious food!"

"..."

Uchiha Yu did feel that the price had dropped a bit, but his intuition and pumping heart told him that Miwa Masayo was right, and what he was looking for was the next delicious food.

Everyone understands the way of heaven, collects heavenly materials and earthly treasures, experiences the baptism of heavenly tribulations, and achieves the supreme way.

Are you just looking for food everywhere?

Oh my god, this immortal cultivator feels a bit cheap.

But no matter what, I finally have a direction, and I can work hard to find it in the future.

…

The next day, after absorbing the purple energy of heaven and earth and watching the sunrise, when Uchiha Yuu continued to think about what he was looking for to eat, Uchiha and Tsukasa came running.

He had just led his team through arduous physical training, and said with a slight breath: "Brother Yu, an ANBU has come to inform us that Lord Orochimaru is coming."

"Lord Orochimaru is coming, did you say anything to do?"

"I told you that we would be promoted."

Uchiha Kazuji said excitedly: "Brother Yu, you are going to skip the special jounin class and become a jounin directly."

Uchiha Yu said "Ah" calmly. This was agreed upon last year. What's so exciting about it.

Moreover, the Third Hokage has deliberately delayed it for several months. You don't need to think about it to know that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo must have done some tricks. Who knows how disgusting it will be.

He asked again: "What about you, where are your Chuunin promotions?"

Uchiha and Tsukasa nodded repeatedly and said: "Our promotion appointments are also together, 22 chuunin in one breath. Hehe, I have become a chuunin too."

Uchiha Yu ordered: "Notice down, training is suspended, gather. Prepare to welcome Lord Orochimaru."

"yes!"

Fifteen minutes later, Orochimaru handed a special Jounin forehead protector to Uchiha Yu in front of the Tiger Troops, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Uchiha Yu, you have become a real Jounin."

Uchiha Yu took it with a smile, then took out a brand new forehead protector from his arms and handed it to Orochimaru. It was the forehead protector he got when he graduated from the ninja school.

This forehead protector is super new. Have you worn it on your head five or six times?

When Orochimaru took it, he was surprised when he saw the brand new forehead protector, and then he turned to look at the Uchihas of the Tiger Force. Sure enough, not only did he not see a forehead protector, he didn't even see an Uchiha family emblem.

Orochimaru laughed inexplicably and put his forehead protector into his arms as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his smile, Uchiha Yuu habitually changed the hand holding his forehead protector halfway and put it on his forehead honestly.

Seeing his actions, Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction.

Then came the promotion of 22 chuunin. Orochimaru read the list casually, unsealed the sealed scrolls and distributed chuunin vests casually. This was considered as completing the ceremony.

Orochimaru waved his hand casually and said: "The Tiger Force is disbanded, Uchiha Yuu stays, I have something to explain to you."

Surprisingly, Orochimaru explained the responsibilities, obligations and powers of the Jonin. After listening to Orochimaru's story, Uchiha Yu realized why the Third Hokage was so cautious about the promotion of Konoha Jounin.

It turns out that the Jounin of Konoha has a power. All Jounin of Konoha (excluding special Jounin) automatically form a Jounin class, which can decide all affairs of Konoha Village.

All major decisions made by the Hokage must be voted by the jounin class before they can be implemented.

This includes the annual financial budget, the establishment and closure of any formal department, the start and end of any war, and even the fate of the Hokage himself.

Starting from the second generation of Hokage, the last step for Hokage to ascend to the throne is the Jounin vote. Even if the daimyo of the Fire Country agrees, if the Jounin class fails to vote, the Hokage will automatically step down.

Of course, Naruto has more power and is more practical.

Take the Third Hokage as an example. He not only controls the approval authority for promotion to Jonin, but also controls the procedures for the meetings of the Jonin class. Not only can he control the composition of the Jonin class, he can also decide when to hold meetings and why to vote at meetings. Everything is under the control of the Third Hokage.

As long as it was not caused by anger and resentment, it is unlikely that the Third Hokage would fail in the voting of the jounin class.

At this time, Uchiha Yu finally understood why Konoha White Fang had to die. Hatake Sakumo became the Jonin class monitor. After putting on the Hokage half-sleeves, he actually controlled the meeting procedures of the Jonin class.

Coupled with Hatake Sakumo's huge reputation among the jounin, he can convene a jounin class meeting at any time and directly vote the third generation Hokage to step down.

With such power in hand, it has nothing to do with what Hatake Sakumo wants to do. The Third Hokage will attack him no matter what and kill Hatake Sakumo at any cost.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not choose to physically eliminate Hatake Sakumo, but wanted to kill the Jonin squad leader honorably and politically, leaving behind a stigmatized Jonin.

According to the principle of using merit instead of merit, Hatake Sakumo, who needs to be punished and meritorious, will become the sharpest White Fang dagger in the hands of the Third Hokage.

The plan was perfect.

It's just that the Third Hokage didn't expect that White Fang was actually a true idealist. He committed suicide because of the collapse of his faith and made a mess.

After Orochimaru introduced the power of the Jonin, he asked curiously: "How is it? Do you feel like you have great power and want to vote for the future of Konoha Village?"

Uchiha Yu saw the joke in his golden snake eyes, and he replied without concealment: "Don't joke, Orochimaru-sama, I am just an inconspicuous newcomer among more than three hundred jounin, my vote It means nothing to the Leaf Village."

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction and said, "I knew you wouldn't care about this false power."

"Then what I will give you next is power with practical significance."

The establishment of the Tiger Force was expanded, and Orochimaru allowed Uchiha Yu to expand to between 300 and 360 people, allowing the recruitment of ninjas outside the Uchiha family to join.

After listening to Orochimaru's words, the key is to get the officially signed document. Uchiha Yuu was very excited, but still asked calmly on the surface: "This is very valuable, but where is the ninja I want?"

Orochimaru did not see what he hoped for, and replied with some disappointment: "Don't worry, I have approved your application. Most of the Uchiha family's recruited ninjas and recovered ninjas will be concentrated in the Tiger Force."

"It's just that when there is a decisive battle with Iwagakure in the future, the Tiger Force must be able to suppress the demolition force."

Uchiha Yu confidently stated: "I need a year to ensure that the Tiger Force becomes elite enough to fight against the demolition force."

"very good."

Orochimaru patted the non-existent dust on his body and said, "The matter is done, it's time for me to leave."

He glanced at the surrounding environment and said with envy: "I really envy you. You were able to live such a leisurely and comfortable life during the war. I didn't have the chance to enjoy it."

After saying that, Orochimaru suddenly deflated like a deflated balloon, and soon the others disappeared, leaving only a crumpled human skin on the ground.

Orochi flow·The art of shedding skin and false body

This is an advanced ninjutsu among the Orochi-ryu ninjutsu. The shed snake skin is made into a ninja tool, turning it into a controlled fake body that can walk freely.

Orochimaru can control the fake body from a long distance, talk, use ninjutsu, and even fight as if he were there in person.

It is said that the most well-made fake body can exert three-quarters of Orochimaru's strength, and the fake body's defense is stronger than Orochimaru himself, and it can withstand considerable damage. It is a very difficult ninjutsu.

Uchiha Yu looked at the snake skin with squinting eyes. After thinking for a few seconds, he punched it, igniting a golden flame and burning the snake skin to ashes.

Anything Orochimaru dropped would not be reassuring, so it would be better to burn it.

Hundreds of kilometers away in the Konoha camp, Orochimaru was signing a mountain of documents. He suddenly sensed something and was slightly startled.

After a few seconds of silence, he laughed and said in a low voice: "You really burned my snake skin to ashes. You are worthy of being the 'Corpse Burner Yu'. You are really too careful. I will have to do something else next time." Find a way."

"Why don't you try to hypnotize an Uchiha and make him my spy?"

"Well, not bad, it's a very interesting idea and worth a try."

The more Orochimaru thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he felt that he needed to be careful: "Everything must be premised on not being discovered. Uchiha Yu is very difficult to deal with. If he is discovered, this game will not be fun."
