I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 62 A Ninja as Powerful as a God

Darkness always comes early in the canyon; while the sky is still azure, Jiusen Village is already shrouded in gloom.

The villagers, whose safety was compromised by such intense sunlight, had finished their work and hurried home to prepare dinner in the dim light of the day.

Just then, several villagers rushed in.

"Village Chief! Village Chief!! Water, water, water..."

Hearing the shouts, the village chief rushed out of his room and yelled, "What happened to the water? Has the water stopped flowing?"

"It's not a dry stream, it's a flood! The flood is coming soon!"

"flood!!"

All the villagers became excited and came out of their houses to look north from the edge of the cliff.

Sure enough, under the light of day, a white line of water appeared in the distance to the north of the valley. Because of the distance, the roar of the flood had not yet reached us, but the slight southerly wind had stopped.

The village chief squinted and looked carefully again and again until the north wind began to pick up and the faint sound of water could be heard. Then he laughed out loud: "Well done! The ninjas of Konoha Village are indeed worthy of their reputation. They solved the water problem in just two days."

The villagers were overjoyed, and some even shouted:

"Let's have a good drink tonight, tomorrow we'll be rafting!"

"Yes! Rafting is hard work, you need to have a drink to conserve your energy!"

The village chief remained unmoved by the villagers' requests to drink. In the damp and foggy mountain valleys, it was impossible to withstand the cold without drinking, and joints would easily ache and weaken when exerting themselves.

If a person is standing on a raft and uses a bamboo pole to push against rocks to change the raft's direction, their joints will become sore, and they and the entire fleet will die.

For the men who work on rafts, joint problems are more deadly than being slightly drunk.

The speed of the flood in the valley far exceeded outsiders' imagination. While it was still light, the white-capped flood peak passed through Jiusen Village.

The floodwaters after the peak of the flood were a thick red color, clearly having stripped away the thin soil in the valley, which is why they looked so turbid.

The three-meter diameter culvert designed by Uchiha Yu was designed to be twice the maximum flow rate of that tributary. The amount of water poured out reached the level of a flash flood caused by a rainstorm. This is the terrifying nature of the water storage capacity of the landslide dam.

If it weren't for the culvert releasing water, but instead for the landslide dam collapsing and the accumulated lake water being released completely, the flood peak would have directly submerged Jiusen Village.

But the current situation is still not optimistic.

The vigilant village chief quickly noticed that the floodwaters were rising rapidly and threatening to submerge the village. He dared not delay, and took out a round-cornered iron fork from his house, striking it forcefully. Amidst the roar of the flood, only the sharp clanging of metal could awaken all the villagers.

Urged by the village chief, no one packed up their money; instead, they took their families and food and moved to higher ground.

Jiusen Village is located in the middle of a hillside. The entire village is built against the mountain, and the roads can only be built in a zigzag pattern. All the houses are arranged in a row on the inside of the road, and there are only three rows of houses in the whole village.

The houses have a huge elevation difference; the top row of houses is nearly 50 meters higher than the bottom row, so all the villagers have temporarily gathered here.

Soon the floodwaters rose to Jiusen Village, and the first row of houses was swept away one after another, causing women to cry.

But as the floodwaters approached the first strange cry on the zigzag road, the men also let out a roar of resentment and anguish. That was the village's timber yard, storing a large quantity of logs, worth far more than all the houses in the village.

Although the floodwaters were gradually receding, no villagers dared to go down to save the logs.

They witnessed firsthand how their own houses and hard rocks, which were difficult to remove by human hands, were flattened by the flash flood. How could human flesh and blood resist such a devastating attack?

It's absolutely a case of whoever goes will die.

Just when all the villagers were in despair, a person suddenly jumped out of the flood.

Uchiha Yu endured five hours in the flood, smashing through countless boulders and breaking countless logs, until he finally reached a wide river channel where the current slowed down. This was the very village of Kumori where the mission had been issued.

Without any hesitation, he stretched his body, straightened his limbs, and with the help of the water's speed, like a flying fish breaking free from the flood, he lightly spun in the air and landed on a flat piece of land.

Noticing something amiss on the ground, Uchiha Yu naturally turned around to look. He discovered logs piled up against the cliff and heard the desperate, painful cries of the villagers on higher ground. He instantly understood what was happening.

Masayo Miwa understood, and asked, "Shall we make a move?"

Uchiha Yu nodded: "Let's do it. After all, it's something I can do. Right now, my mindset is more important than anything else."

"At worst, we can just spend some time afterward processing the villagers' memories."

"Anyway, the whole village only has a little over four hundred people, so the population isn't that large."

"Four hundred or so isn't that a lot, meow?"

"Killing four hundred ordinary people isn't a lot, but can hypnosis erase memories in the same way, meow?"

"Killing someone is just a matter of a few, maybe a dozen, ninjutsu techniques, but erasing memories would kill you from exhaustion. Even if your three-tomoe Sharingan is stronger than other Uchiha, you still can't do it!"

"I can't do it, meow!!"

Uchiha Yu smiled and began to form hand seals. His hand seal speed was not fast because the power he was using was chakra and natural energy. In order to avoid the two powers mixing in his body, he could only slow down the hand seal speed to coordinate with the fusion sage chakra that was happening outside his body, which could not be fast no matter what.

"Miyako Miwa, you've misunderstood me. I don't want to erase the memories of more than four hundred people. I just want to give them a hint."

Immortal Technique: Ten Thousand Mile Cliff Flow

The earth trembled, and from beneath Uchiha Yu's feet, rocks bulged outwards, then bent and grew upwards, forming a thick, suspended granite dam.

This suspended dam extends to the left and right, reaching out of sight and seemingly running through the entire valley.

The suspended dam was so sturdy that it did not sway in the face of the raging floodwaters.

Although this thick rock is very thin compared to a real mountain, it seems just like a real mountain, forcefully pushing back the ever-rising floodwaters and firmly sheltering the village behind it.

This is the power that Uchiha Yu can unleash when he is standing firmly on the ground, completely different from when he was rolling around in the flood.

The contrast between his pitiful, weak, and helpless appearance then and his majestic appearance now is too great.

The villagers of Kusen Village, high up on the hillside, witnessed Uchiha Yu's immense power. Their cries abruptly ceased, and everyone was awestruck by the miracle that unfolded before their eyes—a testament to human invincibility and the overwhelming power of nature.

The stunned villagers were speechless, except for the well-informed village chief who murmured, "Ninjas... are truly as powerful as Kami..."

"Fortunately, we respected him enough..."

"Fortunately, this Konoha ninja is kind-hearted..."

"But I can't rely on other people's kindness. I have to do something, I must do something..."

"A mission, yes, a mission!"
