I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 412 The True Essence of Immortality and True Supernatural Powers

The Toad Kingdom didn't last long; Uchiha Yu easily shattered the genjutsu barrier with his Dust Release technique, which can destroy everything.

Compared to the complete version of Toad's Lament, the Toad Kingdom is still a physical entity. No matter how solid it is, as long as it is still a tangible substance in reality, it cannot withstand the indestructible Dust Escape.

Gamamaru didn't get very far before Uchiha Yu caught up with him.

At this moment, it once again triggered a daydream, and clearly foresaw its own death.

The inevitable death ignited Gamamaru's ruthlessness; it was no longer afraid, nor did it have the thought of running away. Its suppressed curiosity regained its dominance.

Gamamaru asked, "What kind of technique did you use?"

Uchiha Yu withdrew his hand from killing the toad and patiently replied, "This is a ninjutsu."

Gamamaru remarked, "Ninjutsu? What a strange name."

Uchiha Yu smiled and said, "It's not surprising. After the total number of humans exceeded one million and split into dozens of countries and thousands of feudal nobles, the need for intelligence in war gave rise to a profession called ninja."

"Those who practice this profession are skilled in intelligence gathering, infiltration, assassination, poisoning, and sneak attacks. In the process of popularizing chakra among humans, it was ninjas who best combined chakra with their profession and developed the ninjutsu system."

"Powerful ninjutsu led to a dramatic increase in the strength of ninjas, who eventually replaced samurai as the dominant force among humans, just as samurai had replaced nobles in the past."

"I like ninjutsu because it is the ultimate result of humanity's research and practice of chakra."

"Although the power of ninjutsu is much weaker than that of sage techniques, and it is also inferior to the various eye techniques and divine techniques inherited by the Otsutsuki clan, ninjutsu is very easy to use and its effects are effective enough."

"Through research, ninjas defined and created advanced ninjutsu such as Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tota, which are very useful, as they fall between ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai."

"Look, the Sage Techniques that Mount Myōboku has passed down for countless years are completely powerless against the Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Elimination Techniques."

Every word Uchiha Yu uttered was like a thunderclap to Gamamaru's ears, conjuring up a vision of the future without him even needing to dream.

The scene depicted people using strange techniques, enormous and eerie chakra monsters, and pairs of eyes with distinct colors and patterns.

Just like Uchiha Yu's blood-red eyes.

Gamamaru was stunned. As a prophet, it keenly sensed what these images represented: they were visions of the future, of the most influential factors in future history.

Ninjas, chakra monsters with many tails, and strange eyes.

It murmured, "So you come from the future, and the future has many novel things that don't exist now, most importantly, many special eyes..."

Gamamaru wasn't asking Uchiha Yu, but rather expressing his feelings after confirming the fact.

Uchiha Yu smiled in amazement: "You're right, so you should have foreseen your own fate."

Gamamaru closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I know everything."

"But I have a question: why did you side with Kaguya Otsutsuki, choose to be hostile to our Mount Myōboku, and even launch an attack against us?"

"In the future I envision, Mount Myōboku should be a sacred place that ninjas aspire to. You should stand on my side and work with me to persuade Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to overthrow Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's rule!"

Gamamaru's voice grew louder and louder, eventually becoming noticeably hoarse, clearly indicating his great incomprehension and agitation.

That's right. They were attacked for no reason, and eighty percent of the toads in the entire clan were killed by him. The annihilation of the clan was imminent, and even he himself would not be able to escape death.

Faced with such a tragic situation, how could it not be agitated?

But Uchiha Yu still laughed: "Something's not right. It's still the young Gamamaru. Compared to the Great Toad Sage, he's far inferior. The intensity and realism of his performance are lacking."

"I stand before you, speaking of the future with absolute certainty. As a brilliant prophet, you have surely seen more than just a few key glimpses of the future..."

"I must have gotten a lot of memories from my future self."

Uchiha Yu's smile, when seen by Gamamaru, was indescribably cold, as if it had been thrown into an icy hole in winter, its heart instantly chilled to the bone.

Uchiha Yu smiled and said, "Although I am not a prophet, I am able to transcend time, so I am naturally particularly sensitive to fluctuations in time."

"It is the natural order for information to be transmitted from the past to the future, but the reverse transmission is a countercurrent, an existence that violates the laws of heaven and earth. It requires a great deal of power and leaves indelible marks."

"Do you think I can detect any signs of this information backflow?"

Gamamaru's eyes suddenly turned weary: "You're right. I not only saw a lot of scenes, but I also obtained a lot of information directly."

"But I still can't understand why you chose to be an enemy of my Mount Myōboku."

Uchiha Yu kindly explained, "Mount Myoboku did a good job in the future. By establishing contracts with several Hokage of Konoha, it indirectly influenced the direction of the entire ninja world and left behind a near-perfect reputation."

"I must say, Gamamaru, although you are not human, your control over the hearts of people in the ninja world far surpasses that of most humans."

He knew that Gamamaru possessed a lot of information about the future, so he no longer avoided using terms like "ninja world" that were unique to the future in front of it. He even openly praised Gamamaru's abilities and was full of praise for its wisdom.

"Speaking of which, your wisdom is truly impeccable; you've completely outmaneuvered the entire ninja world."

"Although Mount Myōboku was only on good terms with Jiraiya's lineage in the ninja world, it was able to accurately grasp the pulse of the times and reap unimaginable benefits for Mount Myōboku."

"Although you acted rashly and sacrificed yourself at Nagato's hands, you were soon resurrected by Nagato in the Battle of Konoha through self-sacrifice, thanks to your scheme."

Uchiha Yu smiled enigmatically, "As far as I know, Mount Myōboku possesses a resurrection talisman capable of reviving Fukasaku immediately. Yet you deliberately preserved his corpse, awaiting Nagato's self-sacrifice."

Gamamaru sat down expressionlessly, as languidly as a salted fish, and said, "Isn't that only natural? Since we foresaw Nagato's sudden change of heart, there's no need to waste precious life charms."

"Uchiha Yu, I'm curious, why didn't I see you in the future?"

"With the strength you've shown so far, you would be absolutely invincible in the world during the era when Kaguya was sealed away and the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers lived in seclusion in the Pure Land."

"And you are from Konoha, the core village of the ninja world, and a member of the most controversial Uchiha clan. It's impossible for you to be unknown."

Uchiha Yu laughed loudly: "Haha, you really did witness the night of the Uchiha massacre."

"You're right. Based on my strength, the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre is simply impossible to succeed; it will only turn into the night of Konoha's destruction."

"Or rather, how could the Uchiha clan, with me present, be targeted by the Hokage of Konoha?"

"So, the future you see that will be a night of genocide is not the future I live in."

Gamamaru suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Uchiha Yu in disbelief. Even when he knew he was going to die, he was not so shocked.

In fact, it was more shocking than knowing it was going to die, because its deep-seated beliefs were shattered.

At this point, Gamamaru is no longer the young Gamamaru, but a Great Toad Sage whose values ​​are influenced by the older Gamamaru and are oriented towards the future.

In its inherent understanding, the future, while not fixed and unchangeable, is necessarily unique, just like the past.

Now, Uchiha Yu shattered its understanding, after all, this enemy perfectly matched all the characteristics of the future Uchiha clan, even including those Mangekyou Sharingan.

Furthermore, after Uchiha Yu appeared in front of Gamamaru, he frequently had precognitive daydreams, which is enough to prove that he is an Uchiha ninja from the future.

However, Gamamaru did not see Uchiha Yu's existence in the future.

Therefore, there is truly more than one future.

It's not that there are many possibilities that, after being passed through, become the only historical path, but rather that many historical paths truly exist simultaneously!

Gamamaru was completely dumbfounded.

Uchiha Yu, however, was not about to let it go, and continued, "As for why you chose to stand on the opposing side of Mount Myōboku, the answer is actually quite simple."

"First, the toads of Mount Myōboku are weak, while Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is very strong, so of course I will choose to stand on the side of the victor."

Gamamaru shook his head, shaking off his daze, and retorted, "You choose to side with the victor? Nonsense, we will be the victors in the future!"

"The victor is Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who became the Sage of Six Paths, not Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit!"

Uchiha Yu shook his head and said, "No, in terms of strength, Kaguya is stronger. She was defeated by Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura purely because she was soft-hearted."

"At that time, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was only a Six Paths level powerhouse. Even with the boost from Sage Mode, he was only qualified to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"If Kaguya Otsutsuki really wanted to kill her son, it would be like an adult beating children. The two brothers would be beaten to death in less than ten minutes. How could a war that lasts for months be possible?"

"Therefore, your victory was largely accidental. You took advantage of Kaguya's familial affection and loving heart, and won by sheer luck. Your intentions were also very dishonorable."

"As long as I stand by Kaguya's side, help her share some of the pressure, and eliminate some of the enemies, she will naturally be the victor."

Gamamaru: "..."

Uchiha Yu ignored it and continued, "Secondly, the existence of Mount Myōboku is very much in line with the ninja world's approval, but it does not align with my values."

"I hate people who, besides myself, hide behind the scenes and scheme against others."

Gamamaru: "..."

Uchiha Yu didn't think he was wrong and continued, "I have even more contempt for bastards who exploit their mother's love during battle and use their son's soul as a tool!"

"And then there's your Mount Myōboku, which sneakily used contracts to influence ninjas, manipulating Jiraiya and intentionally or unintentionally plunging the ninja world into periodic wars."

Finally, Uchiha Yu concluded earnestly, "Therefore, Mount Myōboku, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was influenced by you, are fundamentally different from each other."

"Look, I've said so much, and you've heard quite a few secrets. Whether you understood them or not, your curiosity should be satisfied."

"So, you should die too."

Gamamaru: "..."

Before it could say anything, Uchiha Yu didn't give it a chance to speak at all before reaching out and pinching its mouth shut.

Uchiha Yu actually wanted to strangle Gamamaru by the neck, but Gamamaru really didn't have a neck. If he didn't want it to make a ruckus, he could only strangle its mouth.

Gamamaru did not give up struggling in the end, using one Sage Technique after another from his premonition. Without uttering a single word, he was burned to ashes by Uchiha Yu under layers of seals.

After Gamamaru's death, Uchiha Yu realized that the evil fire in his heart had been completely vented.

For the first time, the depression accumulated over decades of seclusion vanished, and Uchiha Yuu's mood became better than ever before, with the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up.

He chuckled and said, "It's really good to vent properly. Gamamaru is dead, Mount Myōboku is destroyed, and I should go back now."

With his first step out of Uchiha Yu's house, he arrived in the Land of Wind. With his second step, he returned to the Great Palace and sat down in a seat where he could see Kaguya Otsutsuki directly.

Miwa Masayo had been waiting for quite a while. As soon as he saw Uchiha Yu return, he jumped over and carefully observed his partner's expression.

She not only used her eyes to see, but also used natural energy to communicate her feelings, and quickly confirmed that Uchiha Yu was physically and mentally at ease, and had completely gotten rid of that gloomy and oppressive feeling.

Uchiha Yu felt relaxed and refreshed, and Miwa Masayo also smiled happily, as if the sky had cleared over him.

"That's great, Yu's mood has improved, meow."

"Yes, I feel refreshed, both physically and mentally."

"You still need to go out and play often like me, meow. You yourself said it, meow. If you stay at home all the time, you'll get sick, meow."

"I'll remember that. In the end, it's still about not being able to adapt to the problem of immortality."

"There's no need to rush. I am the immortal Uchiha Yu, and I have a full thousand years to spare. There's really no need to rush."

"Mmm, so when are you going to play with me, Yu?"

"Play? Pear Blossom Sauce, what kind of meat do you want to eat?"

"Venom cat!"

"Haha, okay, I'm going to rest well today. Tomorrow we'll set off for the Land of Earth to catch the Golden Deer."

"Great, meow!"

"Let's not teleport anymore, let's just fly there from the Land of Wind, like a real trip."

"Okay, meow!"

They put their cultivation plans out of their minds, snuggled together in a chair, and whispered about their trip, planning a route to sample famous local delicacies.

As a result, Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo talked like this all night long, forgetting all the rest they had promised to get when they returned, and happily flew north towards the rising sun.

As for the toads of Mount Myōboku, he couldn't care less about them, and Uchiha Yu didn't even think to mention them until the time of departure.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was unaware that the toad of Mount Myōboku, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, would occasionally recall an interesting toad that reminded him of the opening of the door to Sage Mode.

Mount Myoboku disappeared silently from history.

In fact, the toad clan of Mount Myōboku did not become extinct with the death of Gamamaru.

During Kaguya Otsutsuki's time, Gamamaru was not yet the Great Toad Sage, nor even the leader of Mount Myōboku; his status was not that important.

Because of Uchiha Yu's indifference, many toads successfully escaped the disaster and survived the subsequent looting by the Ryuchi Cave lineage, thus successfully continuing the toad bloodline.

After the Ninja Era, Mount Myōboku, which the toads rebuilt, became a sacred site, ranking alongside Shikkotsu Forest, Ryūchi Cave, Nekosaboku, and Sanshūdani as one of the Five Great Sacred Sites.

After experiencing this burning passion, Uchiha Yu finally grasped the true meaning of being a sage and began to live according to the way of "soaring through the heavens and earth, roaming the world. Eastern Danqiu and Western Taihua, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening."

To his great surprise, this leisurely and carefree life actually led to a steady improvement in his abilities.

As Uchiha Yu relaxed, his connection with the world gradually strengthened, and he soon discovered that he had mastered true "supernatural powers".

If you're happy and want to see a rainbow, just say "Rain, come!" and a sudden downpour will come.

Then the clouds parted, the fog cleared, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

When you're feeling down and want to see the sun, you casually say, "Go!" and the clouds in the sky scatter like a flock of startled sheep.

In the blink of an eye, the sky cleared and the sun shone brightly, warming the heart.

This is the supernatural power of "words becoming law".

Any natural phenomenon within Uchiha Yu's field of vision that he could understand could be immediately realized simply by describing it.

This is true divine power, surpassing the divine arts of the Otsutsuki clan, a divine means akin to a miracle.

Uchiha Yu recalled his childhood when he thought his special ability was a supernatural power, and he even named a bunch of supernatural powers such as [Spur of the Moment], [Omniscient Eye], [Free and Easy Wandering], [Thunderclap], and [Mirror Flower Water Moon].

Looking back now, these messy, tender dragon bones were all abilities he had unleashed from the Taiyin Spirit Body of the Uchiha clan after achieving minor success in his cultivation.

These abilities are all based on his bloodline, existing somewhere between unsealed ninjutsu and bloodline limits.

As the Mangekyou Sharingan awakens into the Rinnegan, all these abilities are integrated into instincts, becoming basic abilities under the control of the Rinnegan, and can hardly even be considered a type of eye technique.

The phrase "Words become law" is different. Uchiha Yu needs to concentrate his mind, draw upon his vast chakra and natural energy, and communicate with the entire world to achieve the effect of "Words become law".

However, he knew with absolute certainty that as his own strength continued to improve and his connection with the world continued to strengthen, the difficulty of using this supernatural power would inevitably gradually decrease.

And the area that can be controlled by this supernatural power will not be limited to the realm of weather.
