Naruto: The will of fire has nothing to do with my Uchiha

Senjutsu is indeed a way to improve strength, and it plays a role as a ticket in the confrontation with six-level enemies. However, this kind of laboratory work requires a lot of time and trial and error costs, and Orochimaru's years of achievements are also Just a curse seal might be a useful back-up, but Sasuke was not in a hurry about it.

After the new year, other tasks will naturally have to be steadily advanced. The progress of island construction in the Kingdom of Waves reached expectations, so Sasuke came to the Kingdom of Earth.

What is there in the Land of Earth?

The Kingdom of Earth is located to the north of the Kingdom of Wind. It has many plateaus and mountains. It has a higher latitude than the Kingdom of Wind, and the average temperature is lower. Although there are high mountains and ridges, there is no shortage of water sources. The landscape is relatively flat, except for the Gobi Desert. It has a lot of agriculture and forestry. The proportion of land used is really small, and it has been developed as much as possible. Overall, it is definitely not a fertile ground.

Compared with the Kingdom of Thunder, which openly kills, sets fire to, and robs among the five major countries, the Kingdom of Earth's methods are more inclined to use underhanded tactics, espionage, and sowing discord. Sasuke doesn't have much favorable impressions of this place. He can only say that the environment is slightly better than that of the Wind Country.

But the Earth Kingdom has two jinchūriki who can use the power of the tailed beasts.

In other words, Sasuke's target is the Jinchuriki of the Earth Kingdom. If it is more specific: the four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Zi.

In the Iwagakure Village in the hinterland of the Earth Kingdom, Sasuke did not find his target, but he still managed to find out something about Lao Zi's whereabouts - practicing seclusion in various places in the Earth Kingdom.

In the previous third Ninja War, he, as a Four-Tails Jinchuuriki, also participated, which shows that he did not fall out with the Iwagakure Village. It sounded like something Tsunade and Jiraiya had done before.

As for where exactly it is, asking for help cannot be done directly to Iwagakure Village to force people out, so Sasuke can only do a blanket investigation.

It is a little troublesome to find and distinguish ordinary ninjas through the ability of their Sharingan to see chakra with the naked eye, but the existence of a Jinchuriki is like a beacon in the dark night. No matter how tight the seal is, it will still make it difficult to distinguish it. Much stronger than ordinary people.

After spending more than half a month carefully investigating most areas of the Land of Earth, I finally found Lao Zi in a border village with a relatively humid environment.

Lao Zi was a thin, red-haired old man, probably less than Sasuke's shoulders.

This little life in the garden is quite beautiful. Needless to say, his movements in the fields are really just the same old tricks.

After he finished loosening a ridge of land, he stopped hoeing and asked the people on the field who had not left for a long time. The aura and chakra they displayed were not ordinary people.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Your Excellency, you are Lao Murasaki, the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki of the Earth Kingdom, right? I have a task I want to entrust you with."

"I have a mission to entrust to Iwagakure Village. There are many good ninjas in the village."

"If there is a second Molten Release ninja in Iwagakure Village, it is not impossible to consider it."

Lao Zi was silent for a moment,

"Then I guess you really can't find it."

"Let's talk about it first. What exactly do you want to see me for?"

"For a project, I need melt escape to melt the entire ground."

Sasuke lifted up a piece of flat ground on the side of the road and spread out the engineering drawings for Lao Zi to see.

"I need you to melt the ground into a slightly concave plane. Of course, it is best to melt it thicker."

"How do you want to charge?"

Ninjas are not illiterate, and map scales are compulsory courses. He fiddled with numbers in his mouth, and Lao Zi's face was filled with black lines.

"You think one square kilometer is not a big area, right?"
