Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

......

The gate of the Uchiha tribe.

Uchiha Peak's consciousness quietly swept over the root ninja and ANBU ninja hiding near the clan.

There were no less than 100 people in the crowd!

Everyone's breath is extremely cold, and their cold eyes are staring at the Uchiha clan's every move through the animal masks on their faces.

Whenever an Uchiha clan member enters or leaves the clan territory, they will secretly keep records.

Whether they are ninjas or ordinary civilians without chakra, they will be recorded.

even!

When every Uchiha jounin comes out, there will be the same root jounin who is good at tracking and hiding, following him secretly.

No matter where this Uchiha Jonin went, who he met, what he said, etc., everything will be recorded, no matter how small it is!

"Ah..."

Uchiha Feng sneered, no longer paying attention to these ninjas, and directly ignored the clan members guarding the Uchiha gate and entered the clan territory.

Without any delay along the way, relying on the connection with the earth clone, he went straight to the place where his home is now.

Uchiha Mine stopped slightly and looked at the so-called home in front of him with a complicated expression.

Simple, remote and lonely.

A low-storied wooden house with less than twenty square meters, located alone in a deserted open space.

If the Uchiha clan's clan is considered remote, then the location of the cabin is the most remote among the remote.

Behind the house is a stretch of low barren mountains, and there are no other houses within a kilometer of it.

At this time, it was night, but it was still dark inside the wooden house.

"Crench!"

It was like the door bolt that had not been lubricated for a long time was turned, and the old wooden door was gently pushed open from the inside.

The earth clone, who looked pale and was wearing Uchiha clan uniform and looked extremely weak, walked out slowly.

"Original body, you are finally back..."

"Eight years..."

"It will be eight years since you left..."

The earth clone breathed a sigh of relief, with a sigh in his voice.

Who would have thought that it would take so long; if his body hadn't dissipated, he would have thought something had happened to his body.

"Thanks to you for your hard work these past eight years, I went to the parallel world;"

"The flow of time in the two worlds is much faster than I expected, which is why you have been holding on for eight years."

Uchiha Feng immediately stepped forward, supported the earth clone, and directly checked the condition of his body with his spiritual consciousness.

"How could you create something so important that you can't even maintain your own existence?"

"You are me, and I am you, so why not talk about hard work?" The earth clone shook his head.

"As for the injury, it's because I was too greedy..."

"On the night of the Kyuubi, I want to secretly take action at the moment of Minato Namikaze and his wife's death to harvest two thousand cultivation points."

The earth clone sighed, and a bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth:

"It's a pity that something unexpected happened and I was involved in the explosion of the Nine-Tailed Beast Jade."

Now that he thought of that horrific scene, he still felt frightened.

If he hadn't used distraction in time to calm his disintegrating body, he would have died in the explosion.

However, due to the relatively small amount of spiritual power allocated to Tufen's body, he could only barely maintain his own existence; he was unable to repair the damage caused by the explosion.

After all, earth spiritual power is not wood spiritual power, and it has no healing effect.

"Alas..." Uchiha Feng sighed and said slowly:

"I should have told you not to worry about your immortality points, which makes you act impulsively."

"You don't know much about earth escape spells at all, and the strength you can exert is very limited; it is too risky to rashly get involved in the Nine-Tails War."

Each spiritual clone can only use spells with corresponding attributes.

The strength of the spiritual clone is closely related to how many spells it masters.

If the wooden clone of Uchiha Peak didn't know the full set of Wood Release, the combat power it could exert would only be at the level of an ordinary Kage level.

And when he left Konoha, the Earth Release Ninjutsu he had acquired was extremely rare;

As for the extremely powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu like Ohnoki's, there is none.

Limited by this, if the earth clone, an ordinary shadow-level person, tries to interfere with the Nine-Tailed Night, there is a high probability that he will not be able to achieve his goal.

And getting injured is almost inevitable.

"How come you live in a place like this without even electricity!"

Uchiha Mine frowned. Although the spiritual clone does not need to eat or drink, and can do things at night, it does not mean that it cannot live better.

"Cough...cough..."

The spiritual clone coughed heavily, and the figure began to become illusory;

Just like a TV picture with poor signal, ghost images begin to appear on the surface of the body.

"Those are all foreign objects, I don't need them..."

"Besides, after the relocation, with my injured body, there is no possibility of me doing anything."

"Building such a small wooden house in such a remote place can make other people slowly forget my existence."

Douben said as he led Uchiha Mine into the dark cabin.

The furniture in the house is very simple, with only a neat wooden bed.

A small wooden table was placed in the center of the wooden bed, with two teacups placed on it.

One of the teacups was as shiny as new, as if it had never been used.

The surface of another tea cup is filled with glaze colors that are often hand-painted.

"Clap!"

The earth clone lit the oil lamp, placed it between the two teacups, and said with a smile:

"Body, please sit down."

Uchiha Mine sat on the wooden bed with a complicated expression. What was placed in front of him was the teacup that was still brand new after eight years.

"My biggest hobby is to drink tea facing the empty seat where you are sitting now."

"Now it's finally no longer empty..."

The earth clone slowly sat across from Uchiha Peak, holding a cold teapot in his left hand and a potted plant in his right hand.

"I didn't expect that this tea tree that you casually gave birth to would grow so vigorously eight years later."

He smiled happily.

He handed this emerald green tea tree to Uchiha Mine like a treasure.

At this moment, the double shadow on the earth clone became heavier and heavier.

Dots of yellow earth spiritual power overflowed from the body into the air;

Under the dim candlelight, the light and dimness were uncertain, looking blurry and bright.

"This tea tree is worthy of being created by you using the power of wood spirit."

"The vitality is extremely strong. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, two fresh and tender tea leaves will grow every night."

"In order not to waste anything, I started drinking tea; over time, I fell in love with drinking tea."

The moment the earth clone spoke, two tea leaves were growing on the bare tea tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hahaha, these two tea leaves are the largest and brightest green tea leaves in the past eight years."

"I think the tea brewed will have more flavor."

He laughed loudly, picked the ripe tea leaves, and put them into his and Uchiha Mine's teacups.

Then he lifted the cold teapot with trembling hands and prepared to pour water.

"I have been brewing with cold water for the past eight years, and this tea can be brewed just as well."

"To make tea, of course you need to use boiling water."

Uchiha Mine directly stopped the earth clone's movements, took the tea cup with one hand, and said in a serious tone:

"Tonight, I will personally brew a pot of tea for you!"

With a "Teng" sound, a small flame glowing with five colors appeared in the palm of his right hand and began to heat the teapot suspended above.

"Gurgling!"

In less than a few seconds, the cold water heated by the Foundation Establishment True Fire was boiling, and misty steam continued to emerge from the teapot.

Uchiha Mine controlled the kettle with his spiritual consciousness, first poured a cup for the earth clone, and then filled the tea cup in front of his own table.

The boiling water was submerged in the fresh tea leaves, and the aroma of tea overflowed in the hut.

"Hahaha! This looks like good tea!"

The earth clone laughed, and his figure became more illusory, emitting more earth spiritual power from his body.

"Please!"

“Taste the tea!”

Uchiha Mine held the tea cup with both hands and solemnly invited.

"Please!"

The earth clone also returned the gift solemnly. This time he no longer had to be alone, serving tea to the empty opposite side...

"Gu... Gu... Gu..." He drank the hot tea in the cup directly.

"Good tea! As expected of tea brewed with the foundation-building real fire!"

“This is the best tea I’ve had in the past eight years!”

The earth clone smiled in admiration.

Uchiha Mine also drank the tea in one gulp, looked at the almost transparent figure opposite, and said in a deep voice:

"Have you really made your decision? There is still one last chance."

"I can't find my true body..." The earth clone stroked the tea tree very gently.

"I have been living with tea all day long for the past eight years. Even if I have gained my own will, I still feel that these eight years have been extremely fulfilling and happy."

"That's enough, I'm very satisfied..."

The earth clone looked at Uchiha Peak with a smile on his face, and said with an extremely calm expression:

"Finally, let me dissipate with my own will..."

"I hope you won't take back this part of my consciousness, and let my memory and will of the past eight years disappear from this world..."

Personal will and character are related to one's own memories and experiences.

Obviously, after eight years of separation, the earth clone has given birth to its own free will.

When Uchiha Peak's consciousness came into contact with the earth clone, he knew it immediately and immediately knew the other party's decision.

Even if he can fulfill the earth clone and become an independent individual, the earth clone will not accept it. The other person just wants to dissipate naturally like this.

If it weren't for Uchiha Peak's physical body, the earth clone would not have persisted until now, and might have dissipated a few years ago.

"Name? The name you named yourself?"

Uchiha Mine asked with a slightly sad tone.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Since I am composed of the five elements of earth, I naturally take my name from earth. As for my surname..."

The earth clone paused, looking straight at his own body, or the Creator, with thin eyes, and smiled softly:

"My name is Lingtu!"

The moment the words fell, the almost transparent and invisible figure of the earth clone completely disappeared.

"Ling Tu... let's go!"

Uchiha Feng watched as the earth-yellow spiritual power collapsed, slowly floated outside the house, and was finally annihilated in the endless night.

Then he withdrew his gaze and walked toward the tunnel that appeared on the ground...
