I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 56 Hengwen Immortal Alliance

The leader of Cat Castle has been confirmed as Cat You. The so-called Dark Ninja Cat World, including that silly Ninja Cat Fortress, has no reason to exist anymore.

The return of hundreds of ninja cats to Cat Castle will expose the castle's coordinates among various ninja beast clans. However, powerful ninja beast clans such as the Ninja Wolf Clan, the Vajra Ape Clan, the Giant Insect Clan, and the Falcon Clan have also sensed the presence of the two cat sages.

The leader of the Golden Ape Clan, Ape Demon, sighed, saying with a mixture of helplessness and relief, "It's a real pity that I'm not a cold-blooded immortal. But appearing in the Ninja Cat Clan is perhaps the least bad outcome."

His deputy, the white ape, laughed and said, "This is a good thing. With the birth of a warm-blooded sage, we have more confidence in our cultivation. Moreover, I think we can ask the cat sage if he is willing to teach us sage techniques."

Upon hearing the white ape's words, the ape demon beamed with delight and exclaimed, "You're right! The cat immortal faces immense pressure and danger alone against the cold-blooded immortals of the three holy lands!"

"Neither the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku nor the Great White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave are benevolent beings."

The white ape sighed, "You're right. Don't be fooled by how fiercely the toad and the snake fight, and how they verbally express their desire to wipe out each other's entire families. Whenever a new enemy appears, the two families always unite and advance or retreat together."

"The Cat Sage needs allies among the sages, and only by forming a warm-blooded sage alliance can we stop worrying about Gamamaru's schemes."

……

"Based on your intelligence, it's obvious that we don't need to worry about the giant insect race. They have no intelligence at all; they just gathered together to raise the strongest and most numerous giant insects."

Cat Yu and Granny Cat nodded repeatedly, having no objection to Uchiha Yu's judgment.

Uchiha Yu placed his hand on the head of a ninja cat, guiding it to absorb earth-elemental natural energy, combine it with Sage Chakra, and continue the process of transforming its body into a Sage Body.

Because he directly possesses earth-elemental natural energy, which is easy for him to control, he was able to focus on thinking about the future of Cat Castle.

As the leader of Cat Castle, Nekoyu is indeed more suitable than Miwa Masayo and Granny Neko, as only he knows information about these ninja beasts, but even his knowledge is limited.

Unfortunately, the Ninja Cat Clan is known for its weak combat strength among the Ninja Beasts, and is looked down upon by the Vajra Ape Clan and the Falcon Clan, and bullied by the Ninja Wolf Clan.

It was precisely because of their unstable foothold that the Ninja Cat Clan had no choice but to have closer contact with human society. They not only got involved in arms and intelligence to make a living, but also secretly established ties with the Uchiha Clan.

Because Cat Castle has always adopted a strategy of hiding, Cat Yu and Granny Cat have no idea how to get along with other ninja beasts. They also heard that Uchiha Yu is very smart, so they came to seek help with their intelligence.

Maoyou's fur is getting longer and longer, especially the white fur around its neck, making it look more and more like a lion cat from Linqing. But for some reason, while its majestic and domineering lion king aura continues to grow, its ethereal and fairy-like charm is also becoming stronger.

Maoyou asked again, "Besides the Giant Insect Clan, which other ninja beasts should Cat Castle establish contact with?"

Without hesitation, Uchiha Yu answered, "All of them."

"all?"

"Yes, we should contact all ninja beast forces and try to form an alliance."

"An alliance led by Cat Castle."

"Why? The Falcon Clan and the Ninja Wolf Clan, they've both bullied us!"

Maoyou even pointed to the scars on his back and legs, saying resentfully, "Look, this was done by the Falcon Clan, this was done by the Ninja Wolf Clan, is Cat Castle going to ally with them too?"

"Yes, I will." Uchiha Yu's voice was flat and devoid of emotion as he explained, "As the leader of Cat Castle, you must prioritize the interests of the Ninja Cat Clan."

"If the Cat Castle is powerful enough to flatten the territory of the Ninja Wolves and the Falcon Clan, and is completely unafraid of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, then you certainly have the right to be willful and kill all the ninja beasts that have offended you."

"But now, neither you nor the Ninja Cat Clan are qualified."

Cat You: "..."

Grandma Cat remained silent for a long time before patting the big white cat's paw and saying, "This is the leader's shackles and responsibilities. You've worked hard, Cat You."

Maoyou finally lowered his head helplessly: "An alliance is fine, but forming an alliance must be aimed at a certain enemy. Who is our Cat Castle's enemy?"

Uchiha Yu said, "I already told you about Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myōboku."

"Two of the three holy sites... why? Cat Castle has never had any conflict with them, never harbored any hatred."

"When you and Masayo Miwa became immortals, conflicts arose."

Maoyou couldn't understand and pressed for an answer: "Why?"

"The three holy lands can actually be regarded as two, because there is only one Slug Immortal in the Wet Bone Forest, who has always been without desires and will not compete for any resources."

"Ryuchi Cave and Myoboku Mountain are large and prosperous, with many immortals and countless offspring. They all have huge material needs."

"Neither the giant snake nor the toad engages in production, nor do they do business like the ninja cats. So how do they meet their resource needs? They sign contracts with humans in the name of the Holy Land, exchanging their own combat power for resources."

"By virtue of the sacred land and the name of the immortals, and by virtue of the fighting power of the toads and serpents, they have become the strongest summoning beasts. Although it is an employment contract, it has been managed to make humans pray to them for help."

"In order to win the favor of the toad and the giant snake, the humans who signed the contract had to give double the effort, so that they only needed to put in one unit of effort to get twelve units of benefit."

"The toad and the giant snake are indeed strong enough that few ninjas can match them. Even if they encounter a ninja they can't defeat, the other party won't kill them to avoid becoming mortal enemies with the Holy Land. They've also reached a tacit agreement to hold back in battle. Without any danger to their lives, they live a leisurely and prosperous life."

"But now there's another quasi-sacred site, a new immortal. The original monopoly of Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku has been broken, and they're about to lose a huge portion of their monopoly profits. How can they accept that?"

"Naturally, it should be eliminated as soon as possible."

Maoyou suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. I understand now."

"But if it's so dangerous, why are the Golden Ape Clan, the Ninja Wolf Clan, and the Falcon Clan willing to ally with Cat Castle?"

Driven by profit.

"The Vajra Ape Clan and the Sarutobi Clan formed a pact, and for so many years they have fought diligently, honestly serving as weapons, risking their lives, yet their gains are less than a fraction of what Mount Myōboku receives. Isn't it simply because they don't have the title of Sage?"

"With the two great holy sites as examples, the monkeys naturally want to become immortals, establish new holy sites, and earn more money with less effort in the future."

"They want to learn magic from me?"

"Yes, and we also need your strength to resist the attacks from Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave. So until they have their own Sage Monkey who can stand up to the two holy lands on their own, the monkeys will steadfastly protect the Hengwen Immortal Alliance."

"The Hengwen Immortal Alliance?"

"I just came up with this name randomly. You see, the immortals of the three holy lands are all cold-blooded animals. And the Cat Castle, the Golden Ape Clan, the Ninja Wolf Clan, and the Falcon Clan are all Hengwen ninja beasts, so isn't the alliance you established the Hengwen Immortal Alliance?"

Maoyou muttered with a strange expression, "This name is really casual."

Suddenly, a ninja cat entered the conference room and reported, "The white ape of the Vajra Ape Clan requests an audience with Lord Cat Yu."

Everyone was taken aback; these monkeys reacted incredibly quickly.
