I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 15 Mortal Body

Uchiha Yu, wearing a thick vest covered with lead weights, was panting as he ran along the edge of the village.

It was called running, but it was actually slower than walking. It was almost like taking one step at a time, leaving deep footprints with each step, and sweat dripped onto the ground like rain.

The vast majority of ninjas are known for their speed and agility. Graduated genin can run at speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. For example, Uchiha Yu could run at 200 kilometers per hour.

But that was under normal load. He was carrying a full 650 kilograms of weight on his back, and he had to use all his strength to take every step.

He could still run when he first went out, but after running half a lap around the village wall, he was completely exhausted. After his physical strength was severely reduced, the strongest feeling was not the weight, but the interference with his movements caused by the shift in his center of gravity due to the weight.

Uchiha Yu is now like a hammer, but with the hammerhead up, and he could fall flat on his face at any moment.

Maintaining balance while walking on an object ten times one's own weight is far more difficult than simply lifting one's leg to walk.

His strength was quickly depleted, and then it was expelled from his meridians and scattered across his limbs and bones.

What's amazing is that chakra doesn't circulate in the meridians, but it can communicate with each other through the natural energy of circulation, unleashing even greater power. Uchiha Yu was able to carry heavy objects, run at speeds of 60 kilometers per hour, and even use chakra to protect tree branches, then leap across them like a monkey.

But the burden was ultimately too great, and the chakra couldn't last long before it was completely depleted.

The greatest advantage of cultivating immortality after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is that it will not drain the chakra from the body's cells, no matter what.

You can use as much as you want as long as it's above the safe limit, but once you reach the safe limit, don't even think about getting a single drop.

So, all that was left was exhausted muscles struggling to hold on, which is why Uchiha Yu was having such a hard time.

But it was precisely during this most difficult time that he truly began his spiritual practice.

Without the protection of chakra, under the pressure of 650 kilograms, every step would cause severe damage to the muscles, fascia, and bones.

Before the pain reaches the brain, the natural energy of the fire element will spread through the meridians, instantly repairing the damaged body and bringing a subtle, perceptible enhancement.

Following closely behind the pain signal, the itching signal generated by the healing of the injury, and the most powerful comfort signal generated by the reinforcement, successively reach the brain.

The sensation of pain, itchiness, and pleasure is simply indescribable.

Unable to stop, Uchiha Yu moved forward step by step, enjoying wave after wave of wonderful sensations.

Cultivating immortality...it's truly addictive!

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from behind. Uchiha Yu immediately felt something was wrong and tried to cover his ears, but found that he couldn't raise his hands at all.

"We're doomed, we're going to die!"

The rumbling sound was also the sound of heavy footsteps. As the source of the sound got closer, the sound grew louder and louder, and even the ground began to vibrate rhythmically.

"Wow—, unbelievable! Guy, did you see that? This Chunin is still holding on, that's amazing!"

[I am not a Chunin, and my alias is not a standard Chunin alias!]

[Forget it, I can't possibly persuade these two stubborn guys, and besides, I've completed my promotion mission; I'm practically a Chunin now.]

"I saw my father!"

"Although his speed is very slow, it's because our cultivation methods are different. We can't carry such a heavy burden, so we can't underestimate him!"

"Father, this senior is a Chunin, while you are only a Genin. How can you judge someone like that..."

Thud! (A fist smashes into someone's head)

"ah!!"

"You're distracted, Kai!!"

"Focus! Only by focusing can you make progress!"

"Look at this Chunin, how focused he is! You're slacking off, you're wasting your youth!"

*Thud!* (Another punch)

"ah!!"

"Youth is the most precious thing; we must work twice as hard so that one day we can shine!"

"yes!"

"come on!!"

"come on!!"

Two ninjas, dressed in green bodysuits and strange orange scarves, with shiny black hair and thunderous voices, each carrying a rock a size larger than themselves, staggered past Uchiha Yu.

This isn't the first time the two sides have met, and today isn't the first time either.

They had already exchanged greetings, so the two green-skinned ninjas simply grinned at Uchiha Yu, flashed his gleaming front teeth, and ran off.

"Keep going! Just two more laps and we'll have completed our goal of ten laps around Konoha Village today. Almost there!"

"Yes, Father!"

"youth--!"

Uchiha Yu didn't stop walking, but his body trembled even more violently until he could no longer hear the energetic shouts, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A gray shadow suddenly darted out and jumped directly onto Uchiha Yu's head; it was Miwa Masayo.

The tabby cat scratched its ear, saying with lingering fear, "The mental shock from the Might family... was too intense. There's no way I can adapt to it, meow."

"Doing this ten times every morning, Yu, how do you manage to endure it?"

Uchiha Yu pointed to his ears and said, "I sealed off my hearing, and I also closed my eyes just now."

"Closing your eyes and blocking your hearing is indeed a solution, but how do you know they've left?"

"They've gone far away, and you'll come back, Masayo Miwa."

"...Good idea."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Masayo Miwa looked back and said, "It will take another twenty minutes for that father and son to catch up. Finally, we can have some peace and quiet."

"How could Konoha have such strange ninjas?"

"Haha, the Might family's ninjas are indeed quite strange."

"You know them, meow?"

"Well, I wouldn't say I know them... After all, I know them, but they don't know who I am."

"Meow?"

Uchiha Yu did not explain to Miwa Masayo how special Might Dai and Might Guy were.

This father and son were the people who left the deepest impression on him in this world, far surpassing the future male and female protagonists. In the end, those who relied solely on their fathers to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world are not qualified to compare with the feat of attempting to kill a god with the body of a mortal.

However, after three consecutive days of contact, Uchiha Yu began to have great doubts about their mortal bodies.

He possesses the most abundant chakra among ninjas of his age, powerful and mysterious natural energy capable of perfectly repairing physical damage, and the Uchiha clan's systematic training methods.

With so many supporting conditions, Uchiha Yu was able to undergo three hours of extreme training.

If he exceeds this limit, his body's self-healing ability will not be able to keep up. Not only will he not become stronger through training, but it will also seriously weaken the results of his previous training.

What do the Kemat father and son possess?

It only taught the most basic taijutsu at the ninja academy, the forbidden Eight Gates technique, and the training methods that Might Dai developed over twenty years.

They don't even have the money to eat meat every day.

Despite such rudimentary conditions, the two were able to train for more than eight hours a day, and they had to use the rest of their time to work, otherwise they wouldn't have enough money to make a living.

Uchiha Yu seized the opportunity to cast a genjutsu, and then carefully examined the area.

They don't really have any special bloodline; perhaps what sustains them is their unwavering will.

Miracle.
