I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

The Art of War says: If you are ten, besiege it, if you are five, attack it, if it is doubled, divide it. If the enemy is small, fight it. If it is small, then run away from it. It is better to avoid it.

There are less than 500 tiger troops in Konoha Village and less than 2,000 snake troops, but there are more than 5,000 Kirigakure ninjas.

With less than half of the troops, they dared to implement the tactics of encirclement and annihilation. It was not that the Konoha ninjas were arrogant, but that the elite level and training level of these two troops were too strong, far exceeding the Kirigakure ninjas.

Although the number of Konoha ninjas is not as good as the Kirigakure ninjas, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is reversed, and they have indeed reached the "Ten Encirclement" standard.

Before the battle began, the Kirigakure ninjas did not notice the Tiger troops passing through the flanks, nor did they even notice their two-hour lurking.

After the war, the Kirigakure ninjas also failed to organize an effective defense or attack, or in other words, all their attempts were defeated in advance by the tiger troops and snake troops.

Only 15 minutes had passed, and the organization of the Kirigakure ninjas was completely destroyed, falling into a state of disorganized collapse.

The tiger troops and snake troops started harvesting in an orderly manner. The efficient killing only lasted 80 minutes, and the battle was over.

The Kirigakure ninjas were quite stubborn. About 3,000 of them were killed and 1,000 were captured.

In addition, there were more than 1,000 Kirigakure ninjas who were smarter. They ran away after complete chaos and successfully escaped.

This is the biggest trouble when a small number of elites deal with a large number of enemies. When the number of people is not enough, they are really busy.

Uchiha Shigenobu complained bitterly: "These Kirigakure ninjas are escaping and are 100 times more difficult to deal with than when they attack us with all their strength!"

Uchiha and Tsukasa also complained repeatedly: "It's annoying enough to run away, but it's even more troublesome to surrender!"

"With just over 1,000 prisoners, we can be in a hurry. If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted prisoners."

Minato Namikaze persuaded with a smile: "You can't kill them all if they surrender. If you capture a Kirigakure ninja prisoner now, when you attack the Kirigakure village later, you can reduce the number of Kirigakure ninjas by five who are determined to resist."

"Just think that we are preparing for the next decisive battle."

Uchiha Shigenobu asked in surprise: "Minato Jounin, do you think the Fourth Hokage's next plan is to directly attack Kirigakure Village?"

"Yes, we should attack Kirigakure Village next."

Namikaze Minato's smile was very bright. Today he killed 19 Kirigakure jounin in one go. The beating was extremely enjoyable and he was in a very good mood.

He analyzed the five commanders of the Tiger Force: "In the past two years, Kirigakure Village has experienced three major defeats and a serious civil strife."

"Although I don't know how much their losses were during the civil strife, they lost more than 20,000 ninjas in the war with the Leaf Village alone."

"Twenty thousand people. This number is too scary. The wealth of Kirigakure Village has definitely been wiped out."

"According to the interrogation information, there are at most 3,000 Kirigakure ninjas in Kirigakure Village, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Even if all the escaped Kirigakure ninjas return to Kirigakure Village, they will not be able to gather 4,000 ninjas. With our strength, Kirigakure Village can be completely captured with just a slight force."

Uchiha Tadamichi nodded in agreement and said: "What Minato Jounin said makes sense. Kirigakure Village is definitely defenseless now. We can win it as long as we attack, unless Lord Hokage is unwilling to attack."

Uchiha Kazuki said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Fourth Hokage is different from the Third Hokage. He conquered Sunagakure Village. He will never let a great opportunity slip away."

Uchiha Shibuya said: "If that's the case, that's not bad. At least the hard work now will not be in vain."

Uchiha Kazuji asked: "Minato Jounin, do you think so too?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded: "I think so too. The Fourth Hokage will definitely give an order for us to continue our efforts and launch an attack on Kirigakure Village."

"Well said!" Orochimaru appeared behind everyone with a smile. He said to the six commanders: "As you can guess, I give the order!"

Orochimaru was extremely satisfied when he saw all the Konoha ninjas standing up straight, staring at him with bright eyes, and their eyes burning with hope and desire for battle.

He loudly ordered: "Tiger troops and snake troops, immediately transfer the prisoners to the follow-up troops, attack in the direction of Kirigakure Village, and eliminate all Kirigakure ninjas who refuse to surrender!"

"Yes! The Fourth Hokage!"

The Uchihas of the Tiger Force shouted "Long live", left the prisoners on the spot, quickly assembled into an assault formation, and rushed out at the lead.

The Snake Troop created by Orochimaru was more calm. Under the leadership of the equally calm Namikaze Minato, he completed the handover with the subsequent Konoha ninjas, and then followed the Tiger Troop and left quickly.

But Orochimaru, the fourth Hokage, could tell that these boys were actually very anxious and ran very fast, even a little regardless of their formation.

"Hehu troops are still a bit inferior. They are all unruly brats. They are very calm when it comes to their own lives, but you guys are very strict about red tape."

Orochimaru smiled and scolded: "When we get back, let's see how I can train you more!"

However, the Fourth Hokage did not stick to the battlefield. He casually summoned his staff: "Shikaku, I'll leave the cleaning of the battlefield to you. Don't forget to send more security troops to the north."

Nara Shikaku and his two companions looked at each other and reluctantly accepted the order: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

After Orochimaru got rid of the troublesome job, he followed various traces on the battlefield and quickly found the battlefield that truly determined victory or defeat.

Looking at the traces of battles covering the earth, from the traces covering each other in several layers, the Fourth Hokage saw a war more terrifying than a war involving tens of thousands of people.

He murmured: "Apart from Yuu Uchiha, who are these?"

"Of the seven Kirigakure jounin, only two or three are interesting. The rest are insignificant little characters."

"Wait, these traces of flames are not ninjutsu?"

Orochimaru examined it carefully for a long time before exclaiming in surprise: "Hiss~~, it's actually a taijutsu!"

"This taijutsu is so powerful and incredible. When did the ninja world have such a powerful taijutsu ninja?"

"The traces of Konoha's strong whirlwind are actually Konoha ninjas?"

Orochimaru's mouth opened slightly, and the expression on his face couldn't even tell whether he was surprised or happy: "Haha, I, the Hokage, seem to have neglected my duty. I have such a powerful ninja under my command, but I don't know who it is?"

Shaking his head, he looked at the traces on a higher level and marveled: "Incredible, really incredible, this must be Kaguya Hamura, the fifth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. The corpse bone veins can be so powerful that he can face Mu Dun. The level of competition is incredible.”

"I feel like my current strength is not enough to defeat the Mizukage. Fortunately, Yuu Uchiha took over the Fifth Mizukage, otherwise the Tiger Troop and Snake Troop would be in bad luck this time."

Although he was amazed at the power of the Fifth Mizukage, Orochimaru was still able to comment with a smile, but of course when he saw the traces of the battle on the last level, he fell completely silent.

After a long time, Orochimaru stood in the center of a circular trace, carefully observing all the traces around him, and even picked up a bit of soil and put it into his mouth to taste.

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all, what is happening here?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with confusion and confusion, and were also filled with unparalleled excitement and excitement.

He complained in an excited tone: "There are so many secrets in the ninja world, and there is so much knowledge that I need to research and learn. How long will it take to study?"

Orochimaru was so excited that he couldn't help but spit out his tongue and lick it back and forth on his cheek.

Ever since he was reborn as the Fourth Hokage, he had not made such an action for a long, long time, not even when he was alone.

The busy and boring paperwork had worn away Orochimaru's passion. He had not felt such exciting emotions for a long time.

There was even a vague whisper coming from the throat: "This must be a trace of a higher level of power, and maybe it involves immortality. It's really... great."

This was the first time Orochimaru saw traces of a higher level of power, and the excitement in his heart was naturally uncontrollable.

Before this, he had only seen White Snake Great Senshi and Uchiha Yuu, but these two guys were so secretive that he couldn't see clearly at all.

Later, Uchiha Yu showed off the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, and even had a battle with Ryūchi Cave in front of him, allowing him to see enough power.

But Orochimaru only felt fear and nervousness, but not the slightest yearning. What he wanted was never power but knowledge.

Especially if other people's power is incompatible with his power system, he is even less interested.

He even looked down upon Longdi Cave's magic, thinking it was too crude, had no technical content, and was too risky to practice.

What Orochimaru wants is Uchiha Yu's secret method of senjutsu, but this guy is very strict about it and has only taught it to two people and one cat so far.

The Fourth Hokage once publicly discussed the price face to face and expressed his willingness to exchange Konoha's forbidden arts for Yu's immortality.

Who knew that Yuu Uchiha actually claimed that if he could not understand his thoughts, he would not be able to learn his immortal way. Even if he learned it hard, it would be impossible to practice it. In the end, Orochimaru would definitely suspect that he had deceived him with fake goods and wasted money in vain. Trust between two people.

Of course Orochimaru didn't believe this. He thought that Uchiha Yuu must have too high a vision and looked down upon Konoha's forbidden arts, so he used this logic to block himself.

In fact, Orochimaru only guessed half of it right. Of course Uchiha Yuu is very interested in forbidden arts, but he has the Second Hokage in his hand, and such a large sealed book was written by him, so there is no need to go around the bush. Changed.

And Uchiha Yuu didn't tell lies. Cultivation to immortality is the most scientific and unreasonable, using logical cultivation methods to achieve the most illogical life promotion.

Among the three cultivators, two and one cat, Miwa Masayo, who is the youngest but has been greatly influenced by him, has made the fastest progress and will achieve major results within this year.

Uchiha Shisui followed, and now he has officially started, and is not far away from the success of building the foundation in a hundred days.

On the contrary, Uchiha Ayumi, who is the oldest and has been acquainted for the shortest time, is struggling, and now he cannot even touch the threshold of entry.

It is clear that Uchiha Ayumi has mastered the three basic techniques, but he just cannot understand the principle of being open-minded and introducing natural energy into the body, and has been unable to truly get started.

According to Uchiha Ayumi's description, he has been able to clearly feel the natural energy of the five spirits, especially the natural energy of the thunder spirit, but he cannot absorb it into his body.

Uchiha Yu believes that this kid has already established a world view, and the thoughts of Ninja Dao have dominated his cognition, resulting in a biased understanding of Immortal Dao.

When it comes to cultivating immortality, if you believe in it, you will succeed, if you don't believe in it, you will be in danger.

Now we can only let him continue to hone the three basic techniques, hoping that through long-term practice, he can slowly eliminate this boy's excessive belief in ninja views.

Maybe one day, Uchiha Ayumi will suddenly have an "enlightenment".

There are many incredible things in the practice of immortality. The time he spent on the three basic methods will not be in vain, and will be compensated to him the moment he gets started.

Maybe, the moment when the natural energy is absorbed into the body, Uchiha will complete the hundred days of foundation building step by step.

Compared with Ryūchi Cave's celestial arts and Uchiha Yu's celestial beings, Orochimaru found that although the last layer of battle traces was more powerful, the source of power was the chakra he was very familiar with.

The information revealed in the traces was unpredictable, but he felt that there were traces to follow, and he could even follow this direction and immediately deduce many interesting ideas.

Although it has not been verified experimentally, Orochimaru's intuition is not wrong, because the process is so smooth, and such a natural development should not make mistakes.

And this natural feeling gave him a strong feeling that the person who left this trace was the same as the ninjutsu he had learned.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to Orochimaru. He still remembers the first time he watched the Book of Sealings. It was obviously the first time he saw the contents of the forbidden technique, but he felt extremely familiar.

This is because he learned ninjutsu from the Third Hokage and really mastered it, so he indirectly learned the essence of the Second Hokage.

Therefore, after seeing the forbidden technique of Senju Tobirama, a familiar feeling will come to my face.

Based on this, these traces can give Orochimaru a strong sense of familiarity, and they must be related to the ninjutsu mastered by Orochimaru.

He analyzed this relationship carefully and found that the inheritance relationship was very clear, but it seemed extremely distant. The connection was almost limited to the use of chakra.

The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru took a deep breath, he already knew the identity of this person.

The ancestor of the ninja, the disseminator of chakra, the creator of the tailed beasts, the savior of the ninja world, the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

He laughed hoarsely: "Oh my, my, the distance between you and Yu-kun has grown even wider without realizing it."

"I'm still struggling with the Five Shadows here, and he has already dealt with the Immortal of Six Paths."

"I really want to communicate with the Immortal of Six Paths. Even if it's an unfriendly fighting method, it's a direct communication."

"Orochimaru, you can't forget your purpose. Your original intention of becoming Hokage is to compete with Yuu-kun, so you can't be left too far behind by him."

Suppressing his passionately beating heart, Orochimaru stood up and looked at his surroundings, especially the large trees and bone spurs that were still standing on the outside.

A great impulse suddenly surged in his heart.

[There is a big gap between me and Yu-kun, and compared to the Fifth Mizukage, but how much is the difference? 】

[Let me give it a try. 】

[Speaking of which, ever since Yu-kun took me to Ryūchi Cave and helped me perfect this technique, I have never used it before. 】

Orochi style·Forbidden method·Yama no jutsu

Orochimaru's figure was submerged in the huge white smoke. When the white smoke dissipated, what stood on the ruins of the battlefield was a huge white snake with eight heads and eight tails.

The Eight White Snakes look somewhat similar to the White Snake Great Immortal of Ryūchi Cave, but the feeling between their brows and eyes is full of Orochimaru's feminine and cold temperament.

Especially the head with the Hokage hat on his head is full of vivid pride.

The prototype of this technique is a forbidden technique recorded in the Book of Sealings. It was developed with reference to the legendary monster Yamata no Orochi. Although there is no record of the developer, the whimsical ideas in this forbidden technique are full of Senju Tobirama's imagination. smell.

However, there is a fundamental difference between the Orochi flow's Yamata no Jutsu and the original version. It no longer uses chakra to simulate the Yamata Orochi, but uses the severed tail of the White Snake Sage as a material to cultivate a real white snake.

Based on the soulless white snake, combined with the Orochi flow transformation technique and the corpse fusion technique, Orochimaru devoured the body of the white snake and eventually developed into his own Yamata no Orochi.

No, maybe it should be called the Eight-Sou Orochimaru.

Orochimaru felt the incomparable surging power in his body, which was the extremely powerful earth escape chakra, and the natural energy of earth spirits that Orochimaru could not sense, but he confirmed its existence through calculation.

"Hehe, although I don't know how to use senjutsu yet, I have already controlled Ryūchi Cave and mastered the indirect method of controlling senjutsu chakra."

"Let me see the power of Orochi's flow control magic!"

The eight snake heads danced, and chakra also surged. Some of it was naturally transformed into magic chakra, mixed and filled in the mouths of the eight snake heads.

Orochi flow·Yamata no Orochi·Kurong flow

The heads of eight huge white snakes faced in all directions and sprayed out thick gray viscous liquid with all their strength.

The gray liquid quickly dispersed after leaving the snake's mouth and turned into blue-gray smoke, melting everything in its path.

This is not the melting of strong acid, but the weathering caused by wind and sand erosion. The big tree dehydrates and dries up, and then peels off like gravel-like fragments like bone spurs.

The intensity of the weathering was stronger below. The tall trees and bone spurs that towered above the ground quickly became thinner near the ground and soon broke from their roots and fell to the ground.

The tree trunks and bone spurs weathered faster after falling to the ground, completely decomposing and disappearing in just a few minutes.

But Liturbulence is not Burning Escape or Magnetic Escape, but the changing and evolving nature of Earth Escape, and it has more than just weathering and destructive abilities.

Shrouded in blue-gray mist, the weathered sand grains continued to become smaller. When they turned into indistinguishable particles of dust, they unconsciously turned into brown soil.

These soils are united into lumps, and instead of being weathered, they quickly cover and absorb the weathered sand.

The color of some soil changed from brown to hard bluish white, becoming new rocks.

The color of some soil changed from brown to fertile black, making it suitable for farming.

But after accumulating to a certain extent, the new rocks and soil also began to weather, as if they had entered a new reincarnation.

In the turmoil of Yamata no Orochi, this battlefield has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

In the cycle of rebirth and death, the original traces of the battle were completely washed away, leaving only a fertile black land in the end.
