I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 53 The Dark Leader of Cat Castle

Uchiha Yu did not use the Shadow Clone Technique, but rather the Sharingan eye power clone created by the Uchiha clan. It was also the prototype for the Shadow Clone Technique that was "referenced" by Tobirama Senju when he developed it.

After the Shadow Clone Technique was developed, the Uchiha clan's technique, which required the Sharingan with three tomoe, was surpassed in all aspects, including practicality, durability, functionality, and flexibility.

The difference was enormous, so this technique from the Warring States period was naturally rendered obsolete, and even the Uchiha clan ninjas stopped using it. It was only because Uchiha Yu, being a Chunin, hadn't yet learned the Shadow Clone Technique that he was forced to use this outdated method.

The Uchiha clan certainly possessed the Shadow Clone Technique, but Uchiha Yuta didn't learn it. It's just that he was too good at hiding and was an absolutely invisible nobody in Konoha and his clan, so naturally he wouldn't receive any preferential treatment.

Without a gift from a powerful figure in the family, the family allowed its members to purchase ninjutsu with their own money, but he was so poor before that he couldn't afford to buy A-rank ninjutsu at all.

Having finally managed to swindle the funds for the restoration of the nation, he was busy with his cultivation career, trying to adapt to the physical and mental changes of the Foundation Establishment stage, and fighting wits and courage with the heart shape deep within his mind. He had no time to think about fighting the ninjas.

That's how it got delayed.

Fortunately, he found a substitute ninjutsu in the Uchiha Revival Capital, otherwise he would not have been able to deal with the Root ninjas who were tracking him, and he would likely have ended up on Shimura Danzo's blacklist.

Although Uchiha Yu had already begun gathering intelligence on the Root organization, his Foundation Establishment stage strength only allowed him to dare to kill. He would not let any Root ninja who appeared in front of him go.

Similarly, Uchiha Yu, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, was not confident in killing Danzo, much less in killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, and in fact did not have the conditions to completely turn against them.

He was only doing preliminary work in his spare time; it was impossible for him to delay his Foundation Establishment cultivation exploration just to kill Danzo. Therefore, unless there was a direct threat, Uchiha Yu would not actively pursue him.

It should be noted that time is a favorable condition for Uchiha Yu.

With each passing day, his strength increases by one point, while the strength of the nearly fifty-year-old Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo decreases by one point.

Given time, killing Danzo would be as easy as crushing an ant for him; why rush into action now?

Since you've already embarked on the path of cultivation, you should naturally have the mindset of a cultivator.

As cultivators on the path to immortality, it would be unwise for future long-lived beings to compete with short-lived beings for temporary advantage without ever facing a life-or-death crisis.

Danzo has a long life ahead of him; there's plenty of time to play with him in the future.

Uchiha Yu could secretly manipulate fate, use Uchiha Shisui to protect his clan, and then enjoy Shimura Danzo's impotent rage.

That should be a lot of fun.

He could also watch with a smile as Danzo struggled, desperately fighting against the erosion of aging, and when the right opportunity arose, he would casually lay down a fatal move.

Under the immense power of time, Uchiha Yu was able to easily exploit Danzo's weakness.

When Danzo had worked hard to gain power, seized control of Konoha Village, and reached the pinnacle of his life, Uchiha Yu only needed to extend a single finger and give him a gentle push to destroy everything he had.

Ninjutsu, secret techniques, forbidden techniques, sealing techniques, Root, clan, power... everything that Shimura Danzo possessed vanished before his very eyes.

Presumably, making the enemy experience this despair and enjoying their suffering is the kind of pleasure that is in line with the style of an immortal.

If they were to kill Shimura Danzo now, with Uchiha Yu's power, they could only do so silently.

The assassination failed, and Uchiha Yuu either died or escaped, destined to become a rat in the underground world, or even be forced to serve as a lackey under Uchiha Madara. He did not want such an outcome.

Even if the assassination had succeeded, what would the result have been? It would have only cemented Danzo Shimura's reputation as a hero, even if he didn't want it. It would have fulfilled Danzo's vow to fight for Konoha for the rest of his life.

Is this revenge against Danzo, or is it fulfilling his wish?

After deactivating the Sharingan's eye-power clones and retrieving the clones' memories and experiences, Uchiha Yuu understood and felt enlightened, no longer bothered by the Root's harassment.

He smiled and said to Masayo Miwa, "Let's go see Granny Cat."

"Okay, meow."

The tabby cat took two steps, then suddenly stopped, looked back at its owner, looked again and again, and finally continued forward with a puzzled expression.

"That's strange, why is Yu suddenly acting differently?"

"I can't tell, meow."

"But it's just different, it's so strange."

With her mind preoccupied with problems, Miwa Masayo walked slowly. When Uchiha Yu overtook her, he bent down, picked up the tabby cat, and placed it on his shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I wonder how you've changed? I also wonder what exactly has changed about you, since you don't seem to have changed at all."

"Yes, I left a clone before accepting your reverse psychic summoning..."

"After killing someone and figuring things out, one's mental state will definitely change."

"I see, meow. Dealing with Danzo like this seems interesting. I won't urge you to kill him anymore, but you must take me with you when you do it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we definitely won't leave you out of such fun activities."

……

Grandma Cat is not at her home.

Miwa Masayo wasn't surprised at all: "Well, at this time, Granny should be overseeing things at Karakura Weapon Shop, with Hina and Tahime, those two ninja cats, helping out."

"Don't worry, meow. I've already sent Ninja Cat to inform Granny Cat."

Uchiha Yu said, "Now that we're at Cat Castle, there's no need to rush to see Granny Cat. Let's go check on those ninja cats who had problems training Sage Mode, and also Cat Yu..."

"This big white cat must be the most seriously injured ninja cat."

"It was indeed Maoyou who was most seriously injured, you guessed it, meow?"

"Yes, for Maoyou to mutate to such a large size, the amount of natural energy accumulated within his body must be considerable. This is a significant asset, greatly aiding his cultivation of immortal arts. However, if he makes a mistake during cultivation, the pre-existing natural energy can become a hidden danger, causing him severe harm."

"So, how is he now?"

"It's okay, Meow. It can still breathe and eat, but it can't get up from the ground. Its whole body is limp, but its mouth is still so hard."

"Let's go take a look."

Maoyou was originally the most powerful ninja cat in Cat Castle, with many ninja cats following him. So he went out on his own and built a ninja cat fortress, calling himself the master of the ninja cat fortress.

The ninja cats split because of the absence of a leader in Cat Castle. The human cat grandmother was in charge of ninja cat affairs, and although she did a good job, many ninja cats remained dissatisfied. Cats are not animals with strong obedience and discipline, and the same is true for ninja cats. Even powerful members of their own kind could not subdue all the ninja cats, let alone a human.

However, the ninja world is too dangerous, and the individual strength of the ninja cats is not strong enough. Therefore, if the ninja cat clan wants to survive, they must maintain enough unity in order to gain a foothold in the ninja world.

Cat Yu and Granny Cat adopted a policy of opposition, forcing the ninja cats to choose one side and rely on the other's strength to maintain internal unity. As long as the two leaders could maintain good communication and coordination, it was equivalent to the unification of the ninja cat clan in disguise. Coupled with the secret alliance with the Uchiha clan, Cat Castle had enough strength to stand firm in the crisis-ridden ninja world and even make a fortune in business.

Maoyou is actually the leader of the dark side of Cat Castle and the martial arts expert of the Ninja Cat Clan. His health is very important.

Before Miwa Masayo grew to the point where he could rival Gamamaru and Hakuja, Nekoyu's martial prowess was the fundamental guarantee for the existence of Neko Castle.

Uchiha Yu naturally prioritized helping him recover his health.
