I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 137 The Cultivation of the Crimson Lotus [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Inside the simple wooden house, the location on the sheer cliff made the air thin and the temperature low.

"Fortunately, the Eagle Clan is accustomed to eating meat, generally feeding on animals such as sea fish, rabbits, and sheep, and their diet is also suitable for humans. Otherwise, some strange spiritual places would be quite a nightmare."

He casually appeared in the house carrying two plump rabbits that had already been skinned and cleaned, and Uchiha Yoru even smiled as he looked at Guren.

The aroma of meat wafted through the simple wooden hut. Honglian was nervous and at a loss, afraid of angering Uchiha Yoru, and carefully kept turning the roasting meat.

Uchiha Yoru, standing to the side, glanced at the nervous Guren and smiled casually. "Guren, my identity prevents me from taking you back. After all, you're no longer an ordinary ninja. Have you heard of bloodline limits?"

Young Guren nodded quickly after hearing this. "Bloodline limit refers to a special ability that the user possesses. It is something that all the major nations and ninja villages value highly. Usually, only people of the same bloodline can inherit it, and others cannot learn it."

It's clear that they have a basic understanding of the Bloodline Limit Crimson Lotus, after all, it's a legendary existence.

Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded after hearing this, gently stroking Guren's blue-purple hair and saying softly, "Guren, you are also a ninja with a bloodline limit."

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

In the ninja world, bloodline limits represent power. Upon hearing that she possessed immense power, Guren's face flushed with excitement. Looking expectantly at the man she considered her pillar of support, she trembled and asked, "Can my power help Lord Yoru?"

"sure."

It has to be said that this world is somewhat distorted. Despite possessing great power, there are too many people in this world who lack their own opinions and even place their hopes on others. This distorted mentality seems to be ingrained in their very bones.

However, Uchiha Yoru smiled at this point. He didn't want to change it. After all, for those in positions of power, this was the world they dreamed of. After all, no one dislikes someone who would give their life for you and be loyal to you.

Unlike this world where loyalty is taken for granted, he always understood the value of such qualities, and therefore cherished them greatly, unlike the rulers of this world who did not value such easily obtainable qualities.

"This is a cliff face thousands of feet high, so the temperature is relatively cold, especially in winter."

He took out a large, soft white robe and some clean white cotton blankets for resting and spread them in the room. At the same time, Uchiha Yoru instructed, "Gu Lian, since you grew up in the Chaotic Land, you should know the value of bloodline ninjas. So before you have strong power, your situation is very dangerous."

"Thank you, Lord Ye."

Looking at the familiar, wide white robe draped over her body, and inhaling that familiar scent deeply into her lungs, Honglian's face flushed, and she nodded firmly.

Born on this chaotic island (the Land of Whirlpools), the dog-eat-dog world naturally made her understand the legendary fate of discovering a bloodline ninja.

Children whose bloodline limits are discovered can be sold for a high price. This is something that the five great ninja villages almost openly agree on. After all, the ninja world is full of strange things, and it is never unusual for bloodlines to suddenly appear or awaken after several generations.

The awakening of bloodline limits almost always requires strong mental stimulation, and the chaotic and deformed ninja world has never lacked the existence of bloodline limits born among the common people. After all, looking at the original work, weren't countless bloodline limits that had been scattered outside all awakened in this way?

Looking at the obedient Guren who regarded him as a pillar of support or even a god, Uchiha Yoru smiled. The other's gaze aroused his hidden fetish for nurturing, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart. However, he also had his own considerations.

Even if Guren isn't a bloodline ninja, as long as he trains someone to become a ninja, it's impossible to avoid the ninjas of Konoha. And how many spies are there on the front lines? It's simply impossible to avoid them.

Since he didn't have his own power outside of Konoha, he could only bring Guren to the place where summoning beasts were raised, where it was safe and uninhabited, which was just right.

Aside from the eerie atmosphere of Ryuchi Cave, more importantly, it's not a suitable place for weak ninjas to survive, and those giant snakes wouldn't take good care of a child. Therefore, this is the best temporary base.

"Lord Yoru, I extracted chakra in the village when I was six years old."

Honglian appeared excited and eager to prove her worth, but then she realized that she didn't seem to have any strong advantages. At this moment, her eyes revealed an urgent desire to be recognized. She stretched out her palm, and a deep red crystal slowly condensed and appeared, its color even deeper than the pink crystal she had seen the night before.

The depth of color should be related to the concentration and dispersion of chakra.

"Lord Night, I have awakened my bloodline limit, and I will surely become a force in your hands in the future."

That's the good thing about this world. You hardly need to say anything; people will be eager to become your power and even take pride in being your tool. It has to be said that the distorted world of ninjas has its advantages.

"I examined your body last night. Although you haven't learned ninjutsu or received professional training, I have to say that your chakra reserves are already outstanding for your age, and you've also awakened a bloodline limit."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru had a big smile on his face. He had struck gold. The potential was very high, and he was also a bloodline ninja. Even in the Five Great Ninja Villages, he would be a highly regarded genius, not to mention his rare quality of unwavering loyalty.

Honglian's chakra reserves are quite large, which may be related to her awakened bloodline limit. However, it should be noted that she is still young and has ample room for growth. In addition, the talent of awakened bloodline limit will also provide additional benefits.

"A very beautiful bloodline."

Taking the pink crystal from Guren's hand, Uchiha Yoru smiled. However, Guren, upon hearing this, whispered expectantly, "Lord Yoru, is this a Bloodline Limit Breaker?"

In the peaceful world of the past, girls only cared about being pretty. However, in this world, only strength matters. Strength represents value, while weakness means being abandoned at any time.

Seeing the expectant look in Guren's eyes, Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded, "A very powerful bloodline limit. Guren will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future."

"Lord Ye, rest assured, I will definitely become your most powerful weapon in the future!"

Upon hearing that she possessed a powerful talent, Honglian excitedly stood up and solemnly swore an oath, for the law of the jungle was ingrained in her very being.

"Alright, eat some meat to fill your stomach first, after all, you've already consumed too much energy since you just awakened your bloodline."

With Uchiha Yoru's reminder and the aroma of meat wafting through the house, Guren finally noticed the sour feeling rising in her stomach, caused by extreme hunger.

A heartwarming scene unfolded inside the house. Little Honglian's mouth was stuffed with sweet and delicious roasted meat, and her eyes were secretly filled with tears. This feeling of being valued and recognized was something she hadn't experienced since her parents left. After all, although the uncles and aunts in the village were kind, the village chief clearly still treated her as a breeding tool to carry on the family line and strengthen the village.

All of this was taken in, but Uchiha Yoru remained silent and did not break the silence. This world was indeed terrible, but in this chaotic world, rare and precious qualities were also born.

There is a deep affection for one's companions, a steadfast will to regard the village as sacred, a spirit that prioritizes loyalty above all else, and a distorted emotional attachment that sees oneself as a tool.

But you can't deny that the sense of preciousness that comes from regaining something after witnessing the decline of various qualities makes such a presence even more necessary for the rule of those in power.

And he was also a beneficiary of this quality, a distorted tool for spiritual sustenance. Uchiha Yoru slowly curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile on his face, as if he did not dislike this kind of feeling.

"Guren, you have a good foundation. After awakening your bloodline limit, your potential will be further explored. From today onwards, I will teach you how to become a powerful ninja."

"Lord Ye, rest assured, I will definitely become your strongest tool."

At this moment, Guren's eyes were filled with determination; she took it upon herself to become the most powerful tool in Uchiha Yoru's hands.

Uchiha Yoru chuckled silently after hearing this, and as Guren ate her food, his hands slowly stroked Guren's blue-purple hair.

With a simple tidying up, Honglian's somewhat rough hair was made much more refined, since a small village naturally can't match the refinement of the five great ninja villages.

Her bluish-purple hair was piled high, and the young Honglian was beginning to show the heroic and valiant aura of a future big sister. The difference was that this time her hair was combed more smoothly.

"Gulian, now that you have refined chakra, you must already know most of the characters. From today onwards, my shadow clone will come to train you personally every few days. I will personally teach you basic ninjutsu and literacy. Once you have the ability to protect yourself, I will take you to a place where you can quickly become stronger."

Uchiha Yoru's gentle voice echoed in her ears, while Guren ate the meat in her hand, but her thoughts were no longer on the meat. Her earlobes were burning hot and red as she felt that gentle hand combing her hair, and for a moment, a trace of reluctance appeared in her eyes.

Since her parents passed away, no one has cared for her like this anymore. With a tomboyish personality, she just ties her hair up casually and never pays any attention to it.

After tidying up Honglian's hair and retying it, a tear that slid to the ground naturally did not escape his eyes, but he pretended not to see it. He was never stingy with this kind of tenderness. They were both suffering people, and the other person regarded him as a pillar of support, or even a god in his heart.

Therefore, he never put on an air of superiority like some nobles, making cheap charity seem disdainful.

Your gentleness, even a glance of encouragement or praise, is always something of utmost nobility in their eyes, but to them it's nothing more than a cheap word of comfort or a smile.

They regard you as a god, and all they need in return is a simple word of comfort and a smile from the god, and the god will reap a lot of loyalty.

……

"Guren, although you refined chakra early on, the crude methods of the small village only allow you to refine chakra in this crude way and then instinctively strengthen your physique. What you need to do now is to move from passively strengthening chakra to actively strengthening it."

"This is hand seals. By forming hand seals, the ninja can mobilize the body's chakra and circulate it within the meridians to release ninjutsu."

Honglian's foundation was too poor. After all, she had never undergone systematic training, so it was naturally bad. Honglian seemed to realize her own situation and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Seeing Honglian's expression, Uchiha Yoru did not offer any comfort. After all, people only learn when they know their own shortcomings, and the other person's shameful feeling was also one of the driving forces that motivated him to learn.

"There are twelve hand seals in total. These are hand gestures, and each gesture can mobilize the flow of chakra in different meridians. You need to practice diligently. When you form the hand seals and the chakra in your body starts to circulate quickly, that is, when your mind and hand are in harmony, you can activate ninjutsu."

"However, before that, you practiced hand seals and felt the chakra flowing through your body. Every time you consciously controlled the flow of chakra, it strengthened the chakra's nourishment of your body, which is called enhancement. This is active! But before, you only learned about chakra. The effect of the body's chakra flowing instinctively and actively on strengthening the body is incomparable to that of active."

Back then, Uchiha Yoru was incredibly diligent and eager to learn about new and exciting ninja knowledge. After all, he was one of the top students in his elite class, and he was a top student who worked very hard in his studies.

Honglian transformed into a student eager to cram everything into her mind. With her already good aptitude and the awakening of her bloodline, her learning speed was incredibly fast.

No wonder there's a saying in the ninja world: ninjas who awaken their bloodline limit are all geniuses.

"Lord Ye, why is it that with the same seal, you said it could activate nine main meridians, but I can only activate three? The other six seem to be unresponsive?"

The studious Honglian immediately discovered her own problem, and secretly felt distressed, wondering if she was a good-for-nothing.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru smiled with satisfaction. "That's why you need to train hard. Only through the tempering of time can you freely control the flow of chakra in your meridians while forming hand seals. Some legendary ninjas even develop an instinct when they reach a certain level of training, and can activate ninjutsu simply by clapping their hands together."

"What you need to do now is to familiarize yourself with these twelve mudras. Remember to practice them well every night before going to bed. Talent is just the foundation given to you by God, while diligence is the condition for your success. It takes time to hone your skills in forming mudras."

The humble and eager-to-learn Honglian immediately showed a determined look, "I understand, I will definitely not let Lord Ye down."

At this moment, Guren transformed a certain spirit into boundless fighting spirit, and Uchiha Yoru also showed a satisfied smile. No wonder everyone likes to teach geniuses. They can understand things immediately and even draw inferences from one instance. This kind of teaching is simply a pleasure.

Inside the room, one was teaching, while the other was frantically absorbing endless ninja knowledge like a sponge, wanting only to quickly become stronger and become the strongest tool in the adults' hands.

In the cold room, Uchiha Yoru would take time every day to teach the other person about the ninja academy. After all, to become a strong ninja, a solid foundation is essential for long-term success. Directly teaching ninjutsu at a fast pace would only be counterproductive and waste the other person's talent.

This is one of the reasons why countless small countries in the ninja world have been unable to catch up with the great powers over the years.

Honglian began her systematic studies and underwent rigorous ninja training, while Uchiha Yoru's shadow clones would sit cross-legged after each lesson, sensing the presence of natural energy.

The existence of the Perfect Curse Seal already allowed him to sense the presence of natural forces. In addition, since he was a shadow clone, if anything went wrong, the control of the Perfect Curse Seal would directly release the natural energy within his body to prevent petrification.
