I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 90 Please give us a good beating!

The day's training in formation was not in vain. With the help of the suggestive seeds, the genin subconsciously lined up in a neat formation, forming an 8x16 rectangle.

Uchiha Yu began to summarize: "Today's training exercise was called 'formation,' and my stance was called 'standing at the stake.' To be honest, the formation wasn't very neat, and I'm not satisfied with it."

"But many of you have learned standing meditation through observation, which is commendable."

"Those who haven't learned standing meditation, find a way to learn it today."

"Tomorrow, we will continue to stand in line, but it won't be like today, where we can simply stand in a relaxed manner."

"I command!"

Uchiha Yu's sudden command caused the 129 genin to instinctively stand at attention, their synchronized movements producing a powerful footstep.

Uchiha Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Dismissed!"

That evening, upon receiving intelligence about the training, Fugaku Uchiha was furious: "What on earth is Yuu Uchiha doing?"

"Using the tricks samurai used to manipulate farmers to train ninjas for drill training—isn't that absurd?"

The genin who brought the message was a spy planted by Fugaku; he was considered a member of Fugaku's faction. Therefore, he asked, "Clan head, should we take control of the Eighth Captain and stop Uchiha Yu's antics?"

Fugaku Uchiha pondered for a long time, his anger gradually subsiding as he thought, and finally shook his head and said, "No, he was recommended by Lord Shin-in. I can't persuade Lord Shin-in to replace him after just one day of nonsense."

"Wait a little longer. If his antics provoke fierce protests from the lower-ranking ninjas, report to me."

"..." The ninja remained silent for a few seconds before answering, "Yes."

In fact, this was the last time this Uchiha genin proactively reported to Uchiha Fugaku.

The next day, Uchiha Yu continued the formation training, but added his eye power to intimidate the genin, increasing their mental fatigue. Any genin who couldn't master the stance couldn't even last a minute before collapsing, trembling all over.

Even a genin who has mastered the standing meditation technique can only last for a maximum of fifteen minutes before collapsing due to the impact of the eye power.

The frequency of drill training suddenly increased, and the genin learned and mastered the stance training faster and more skillfully. Their obedience and trust in Uchiha Yu also gradually increased.

This is certainly not due to the training, but rather the result of the seed of suggestion planted yesterday sprouting and germinating under the stimulation of the Sharingan's three-tomoe power.

Although the seeds of suggestion cannot last forever, their effects are very noticeable in the early stages of training. They can help genin quickly master the techniques of stance training, quickly enter a state of emptiness, and obtain powerful positive feedback.

Otherwise, how could these genin, who were left over by the clan leader, elders, and village, master the skill of stance training in just one day?

The reason why it took so much effort to subtly hint at things to hundreds of people was because Uchiha Yu lacked credibility.

Uchiha Yu had some trust with these genin through their friendships. For example, at the clan head's full moon banquet, he only needed to say a word to get Shigenobu, who was a waiter at the time, to bring him more meat.

But this little bit of credibility wasn't enough to make everyone obey his orders and seriously carry out the drill training they resisted and despised.

Credit doesn't come from nothing; it can only be earned through accomplishing things and achieving results.

At the same time, only when you have accumulated enough credit can you persuade others to obey you and follow you to do bigger things.

In the process of doing things, every order issued and every day spent requires the exchange of credit. When the credit reaches zero, the task fails.

Credit and results are a constantly shifting cycle, but the hardest part of the credit cycle is not getting everything done, but rather how to gain initial credit when doing the first thing.

For example, at the beginning of Shang Yang's reforms, he established trust by moving a log and buying his first credit with gold.

Uchiha Yu's initial credit was too small, and he didn't have time to slowly accumulate it initially, so he chose to use the seed of suggestion to make a profit without any initial investment.

Under the coercion of numerous suggestive seeds, the genin were able to obey his orders and obediently carry out the most hated and despised formation training, exhausting their energy in the tedious standing, and concentrating on learning stance training in a state of extreme fatigue.

Although the credit consumed at each step was offset by the implied seed, nothing could simply disappear into thin air; instead, it became a debt.

If he ultimately fails, Uchiha Yu will be completely discredited and become utterly disgraced among the Uchiha members he knows best.

Therefore, he didn't dare to conduct several months of formation training, letting the collective sense of power be the result. Instead, he taught standing meditation techniques on the first day, letting the individual's spiritual and mental gains be the result, quickly fulfilling his first promise.

To this end, he went so far as to use suggestive techniques to help the genin maintain their stance, pushing himself to the limit as well.

He succeeded.

Forced into training, the Uchiha genin learned to practice stance training and experienced the benefits it brought. As genin of the Uchiha clan, they all possessed unawakened bloodline limits and were extremely sensitive to spiritual growth.

All the successful individuals felt a tremor in their eyes; their intuition told them that the Sharingan was sprouting. This unbelievable gain drove these genin into a frenzy.

Even if only a third of the genin succeeded on the first day, it generated enough credit to not only make up for the previous debts, but also to provide enough credit to carry out the next, more arduous training.

Starting from the second day, Uchiha Yu no longer needed to activate the suggestion seeds, as the genin's obedience was already sufficient. Thus, the suggestion seeds planted earlier seemed excessive, gradually pushing obedience and trust to a deeper level.

By the third day, all the genin had learned to practice standing meditation and experienced the growth of their spiritual power in a state of emptiness, as well as the activation of their eyes after the increase in spiritual power.

Amidst their excitement, some genin even began to feel dissatisfied with the current pace of instruction. Full of hope, they proactively asked, "President, are there more projects to come? Can we speed up the learning process?"

Uchiha Yu smiled. The change in address showed their respect for him and their recognition of the study group.

"Of course there are more projects, but speeding up the process will be very difficult..."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yu's words, the genin fell silent instantly, and then went berserk the next moment.

But the three days of training ultimately etched a sense of discipline into their hearts. Everyone stood straight despite being crazy, and the formation remained a perfect rectangle.

These upright figures shouted frantically, offering their most sincere prayers to Uchiha Yu:

"President, please give us a good beating!"

"Please, use all your strength, we can take it!!"

Please!!

Please!

Uchiha Yu had indeed heard quite a few suggestive words, and with a look of disgust, he agreed: "This is what you asked for, so you can't complain about being tired now."

"Absolutely not!" x129

"Then our training will move from static to dynamic. On my command, everyone maintain formation and run around the training field!"

"Let's start with thirty laps to perk us up."

"yes!"

Uchiha Yu proved the relationship between the Sharingan and spiritual power through his own experience.

Awakening the Sharingan requires sufficient mental energy to stimulate the development of a mysterious area deep within the brain. The maturity of this development determines the size of the eye power, which in turn determines whether the Sharingan can awaken and manifest, and to what level it can advance to.

Improving mental strength is difficult, but when it is insufficient, it can be amplified by emotions. However, when the gap is too large, no matter how intense the emotions are, they will not work.

Therefore, the fundamental solution is to enhance mental strength.

According to Uchiha Yu's understanding of the relationship between essence, energy, and spirit, to strengthen spiritual power, one must first improve physical fitness. A strong body can increase the amount of chakra, and abundant chakra can nourish spiritual power.

Those who become ninjas are skilled at extracting chakra from their bodies, and standing meditation can accelerate the efficiency of chakra stimulating the growth of mental power.

The mental energy that the genin have gained through stance training over the past three days is not a result of drill training, but rather the release of their accumulated potential from past training. Many have already fully unlocked their potential; it's time to begin comprehensive and complete training, starting with physical conditioning.

However, the effect of Uchiha Yu's direct arrangement is different from that of the genin's pleading. If Uchiha Shigenobu hadn't been the first to make the request, he would have had to use the Seed of Hint to find a suitable scapegoat.

Therefore, Shigenobu deserves praise and should be given special attention in the future, so that he can become Shisui's capable assistant.

Running as a ninja is nothing special, and running in neat formations is not difficult either. The genin in the training club quickly adapted to this requirement, and the eight formations ran in perfect order, with powerful and resounding steps.

But all the genin knew that things were definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, starting from the second lap, Uchiha Yu put vests on every genin, adding twice their own body weight, making all their previous movements suddenly much more difficult.

As the president of the study group, Uchiha Yu had made thorough preparations.

Sweating profusely, it didn't matter. Uchiha Yu had already prepared large buckets of warm water, in both salty and sweet flavors, enough for everyone to drink all day long.

Despite the immense physical exertion, it was no problem. Uchiha Yu had a large pot of medicinal porridge prepared according to the recipe, and the speed at which it replenished his energy was absolutely astonishing.

After running thirty laps after thirty laps, everyone's stomachs were empty and they were seeing stars from hunger. But that's okay, we can run two more thirty laps and then everyone can eat as much barbecue as they want.

Uchiha Yu made a reservation at the Akimichi family's yakiniku restaurant yesterday, and it was the whole place.

As for him personally cooking for everyone, that's wishful thinking.

This wasn't just three or five people, but over a hundred hungry, half-grown children.

As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home. These boys and girls can now eat four or five bowls of ramen in one sitting. Uchiha Yu doesn't have the ability to keep so many mouths shut by himself.

He enjoys cooking, but doesn't like being a chef.

Let's eat out. Anyway, the clan will reimburse us, and the Uchiha clan won't even have to pay. It will be deducted directly from the Akimichi family's shop rent, which will be more than enough.

But to the surprise of the more than one hundred people, when they were all full and lazy and ready to go home after eating and drinking their fill at the barbecue restaurant, they were blocked by Uchiha Yu in front of the restaurant.

Today, Uchiha Yu's credibility was enough to command respect. He didn't say a word, and all the genin obediently followed him back to the training ground.

Under the bright moonlight, 129 ninjas stood in neat rows, silently waiting for Uchiha Yu to speak.

But soon, they realized something was different. They were surrounded by familiar companions, and their teammates were in front and behind them. Everyone's breathing gradually became the same, and everyone felt as if they had merged into a behemoth, which was incredibly powerful.

This is the power of uniformity and collective action; a sense of regularity is a power that can be understood by people.

Not only did the genin feel the power, but Uchiha Yu was also satisfied with the results of his three days of hard work.

He smiled and said to everyone, "We can't use this formation on the battlefield. This is just a training formation."

Before the genin could react, he resumed his serious expression: "Alright, after this feast, I've brought you all back. First, I want to test your obedience. Very good, I'm satisfied."

"The second thing is that I think someone might break through tonight, so I've brought everyone back with me to witness... a historic moment for the Uchiha clan."

"?" x129

Uchiha Yu activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, unleashing the power of his genjutsu to its limit. This gave his voice a powerful persuasive quality, connecting with the seeds of suggestion in the hearts of every genin present.

The genin, not having activated their Sharingan, were completely powerless to resist the genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan and involuntarily followed Uchiha Yu's movements.

"Follow my movements, lift your left foot to the right, shoulder-width apart. Raise both hands, bend your elbows, and hug them in front of your chest, palms facing inwards with fingers spread apart."

"Chest out, head up, abdomen relaxed, knees slightly bent. Relax your breathing, breathe slowly, gradually close your eyes, and listen to my voice."

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and made a strange "purring" sound, just like a cat's, which instantly resonated with the chests and abdomens of the hundreds of people present.

This is the gentle release of [Zha Lei], imitating the resonant sound emitted by Miwa Masayo when he is resting.

Uchiha Yu once again activated the nearly depleted Seed of Suggestion, transmitting his breathing frequency to everyone and forcibly altering their breathing rhythm.

There was no way around it; Uchiha Yu had no confidence in his younger siblings who had grown up under the influence of Japanese culture. He believed that these children could not possibly understand the true meaning of the Hunyuan Zhuang.

The standing meditation they learned before was just a very crude imitation. Although it had a good effect on calming the mind, it was ultimately superficial and would not be enough for further practice.

"Relaxed and natural, ethereal and upright, winding and exquisite, perfectly round and unified."

Although the essence of the Hunyuan Stance is only sixteen characters, its meaning is infinite. Even Uchiha Yu himself did not fully understand it, and even the parts he did understand, he could not describe or explain in the language of the ninja world.

How to teach these Uchiha genin who have never been influenced by the culture of the Yellow Emperor to understand these complex mysteries is a huge problem.

After much contemplation, Uchiha Yu came up with the idea of ​​combining the Seed of Suggestion with the Illusionary Sound Technique to directly convey his true experiences to everyone, allowing them to understand through firsthand, sensory perception. Surely that would be enough to get them started.

All 129 genin present closed their eyes, bathed in the increasingly bright moonlight, and maintained the same breathing rhythm as Uchiha Yu. With the effect of resonance, the snoring sound gradually became louder.

The same rhythm made the breathing clearly audible, but it made the training ground seem even more peaceful and quiet. Just as a secluded valley must have birdsong, the sound of being completely integrated with nature enhanced the feeling of tranquility.

The genin were led by Uchiha Yu into the Tranquil Void, where the flow of chakra within their bodies became smoother, and the large amount of meat and fish they had eaten for dinner was absorbed with all their might, turning into streams of heat to replenish their bodies.

A body that receives abundant nutrition generates a large amount of chakra, and this abundant chakra, in a calm state of mind, becomes a ladder for the growth of spiritual power.

Chakra cannot be directly converted into mental power. The source of mental power lies in the mysterious and unpredictable mind. Chakra is merely the most effective tool for acquiring mental power.

As more and more spiritual power is developed, the bloodline limit shared by the Uchiha bloodline, the pupil power generated by the absorption of spiritual power, begins to develop and grow rapidly.

On the third day after its release, the number of items released surged by 2/3.
