Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Eye power is the manifestation of the Sharingan's synthesis of special chakra."

"Does Chief Fugaku want to enhance his eye power? In my opinion, this may be limited by his physical talent."

"When it comes to refining chakra, some ninjas can refine it to their physical limits, while most ninjas cannot. The same applies to the Sharingan's ocular power."

"Drugs are unlikely to change this upper limit issue; I think it's more related to the ninja's talent."

The three of them had already anticipated this answer, but after taking so much medicine, hearing the word "talent" still made them feel a little sad.

Unlike his two clansmen, Fugaku Uchiha was not disappointed. He had tried many times and had figured out his limits:

"As expected, Xiu, you've helped me confirm the answers to some questions."

"It seems the future of the Uchiha clan still lies in the hands of the younger generation. Mikoto, bring Itachi over here!"

With a look of reluctance on her face, Uchiha Mikoto pushed open the sliding door, handed her son to her husband, nodded in acknowledgment, and then quietly withdrew.

"Itachi will be 2 years old on the 9th of next month. I plan to let him receive ninja training when he is around 3 years old, starting with theoretical knowledge."

“As my son, I believe that when I was 4 years old, Itachi could also embark on the path of a ninja like you, Shu.”

“Shu, I hope you can teach Itachi. You are the most suitable person to teach him. In the future, he will become a force in the hands of the Hokage.”

After saying these words, Fugaku Uchiha bowed slightly, and Inaho Uchiha and Hachishiro Uchiha followed suit.

Furukawa Osamu's lips twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and gently reminded her:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, starting ninja training at age 3 is still a bit too early."

"We can wait until Itachi graduates from the Ninja Academy before giving him elite training, since there shouldn't be too many wars in the future."

Itachi, who will be 2 years old next month, doesn't understand what the adults are talking about. When he sees Osamu Furukawa, he doesn't cry, but instead blinks and shows a pure smile.

"As my son, Itachi must shoulder this responsibility!"

"Shu, I entrust Itachi's future to you. If the Hokage wields greater power, the village will be more stable."

After saying this, Fugaku Uchiha once again showed an expectant look. Osamu Furukawa didn't understand the logic behind his words, but considering that the three of them had taken a lot of Kyogen pills, he still agreed:

"I will help Itachi become an excellent Uchiha ninja."

The seemingly soft and cuddly Itachi Uchiha smiled again, unaware that his future had already been planned by his father.

"Pa...pa..."

Chapter 100 The Fog Hidden in the Mist

In early June, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, representing Sunagakure, "tested the waters" regarding the commission market, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire visited Konoha Village again.

After the ceasefire, how much benefit Sunagakure needed to cede was a major concern for the ninjas of both villages, and the Konoha ninjas who remained in the village began to discuss it intensely.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sunagakure will become an ally of Konoha. Considering the disparity in top-tier combat power between the two sides, this relationship is expected to last at least 20 years!

Good news spread throughout the Land of Fire. Iwagakure and Kumogakure were unwilling to give up, and the two sides, who had a "blood feud," began to show signs of joining forces.

Compared to the other four major ninja villages, Kirigakure still adheres to secrecy, and the Third Mizukage's attitude remains unknown.

-

When Osamu Furukawa gave Itachi Uchiha a birthday present when he was 2 years old, Mei Terumi, who had just turned 12, was also promoted to the Anbu.

The Hidden Mist Village, shrouded in mist year-round, seems to exist independently of the ninja world. Unlike the other four great ninja villages, the village's administrative affairs are handled by senior elders.

The Mizukage is the strongest fighter, but does not participate in daily operations.

When Furukawa Osamu's spirit learned about the relevant information, it immediately thought of Uchiha Madara. It seems that the old man was able to remotely control Kirigakure precisely because he had grasped this point.

Mei Terumi, with her hair pulled back in a high ponytail, began her daily patrol. Behind her mask, her small face was filled with displeasure as she mentally complained:

"Where exactly is this stronghold you're talking about? I've already taken you all over Kirigakure."

"If you can't sense it, don't try to stir up my emotions!"

Mei Terumi complained as she handed over her work to her colleagues. This time, the area she was in charge of was not far from the Mizukage Building, and she could just see half of the village from there.

"Be patient. Haven't you ever questioned the policies of Kirigakure?"

“Even a cold-blooded young ninja like Zabuza Momochi joined the reformists to try to end the ‘Bloody Mist,’ but you, as a bloodline limit ninja, refused.”

Osamu Furukawa's spirit murmured somewhat discontentedly, and Mei Terumi, sensing the emotional fluctuation in his tone, responded smugly:

"Because I don't want you to have access to information about Kirigakure."

"You're still being hunted down by bloodline ninjas. Could it be that your companions are harboring hatred out of jealousy?"

"You bastard..."

Mei Terumi kept processing this in her mind until Osamu Furukawa whispered a reminder, "Someone's coming."

The over 2-meter-tall Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, carrying the giant sword Samehada, strode forward. The ninjas on duty all lowered their heads and made way for him, no one daring to look directly at his fat face with "claw marks".

As a strong candidate for the next Mizukage, Suigetsu Hozuki wielded considerable influence in Kirigakure. He approached Mei Terumi, opened his mouth wide to reveal sharp teeth, and whispered:

"You're the ninja with two bloodline limits?"

"The elders seem to regard you as the village's most valuable asset. I have no interest in knowing that. As a bloodline limit ninja, I want to know your attitude."

"Support me? Or oppose me?"

"Samehada seems to really like your chakra. If you want to oppose me, I don't mind making you Samehada's food."

Suigetsu Hozuki is in charge of Kirigakure's most important cipher department. All the village's intelligence passes through his hands, so Mei Terumi's dual bloodline limit is no secret to him.

“I...I will obey your will.”

Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, immediately bowed her head in obedience. Suigetsu Hozuki grinned and laughed twice, his sharp teeth filling the girl with fear.

"Very good. Since you've agreed, you'll be my subordinate from now on."

"I need you to gather information on the bloodline limit ninjas. With your strength, you should be able to secure a high position."

"Don't disappoint me. You know the consequences if the Hidden Mist ninja fail to complete their mission."

Suigetsu Hozuki leaned down and stared at the thin girl. Terumi Mei lowered her head even further and quickly responded.

The sight of Sushiyama Fuguki's fearful reaction only made him happier; he loved the feeling of controlling other people's lives.

After the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon left, the officers on duty obediently returned to their positions without complaint; this was the treatment that the strong deserved.

In the end, you still joined.

Furukawa Osamu's spirit chuckled softly, unperturbed by the lack of response, and continued to elaborate on his plan:

"This fat cat actually controls an important department. If I get the chance, I'll help you kill him. After I crack those codes, the intelligence will be mine."

Mei Terumi's body trembled, and she could no longer control her emotions. The girl retorted angrily:

"What do you want to do? Those are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist..."

"What ninja swords? They can only scare timid girls like you. Keep an eye on them for me. Seven ninja swords are worth collecting."

“You showed murderous intent during our previous conversation, and I will grant your wish.”

After saying these words, Furukawa Osamu's spirit disappeared. Terumi Mei screamed in her mind as if venting her emotions, her deepest desires being read. She didn't want to face her true self.

It took Mei Terumi a while to fully control her emotions. Gazing at the village shrouded in mist, she murmured to herself:

What exactly do you want?

No one answered her question. Furukawa was busy searching for the missing Uchiha Madara. The old man had most likely come to Kirigakure and had already begun to push forward with his plan.

Late at night, in his base on the Iron Country peninsula, Osamu Furukawa focused intently on manipulating his White Zetsu clone, carefully sensing the chakra in the space above, and whispered to confirm:

"Only the White Zetsu's chakra remains; the Gedo Mazo and Madara Uchiha have disappeared."

"So it really is a psychic technique?"

The slug crawled to the tree roots, sensing the energy remaining within, and softly said:

"This energy is used to maintain the activity of the white ice deep underground."

"Lord Xiu's earlier judgment was correct; the other party has the method to leave this place."

The Iron Country Peninsula is very far from Kirigakure. According to Furukawa Osamu's memory, Uchiha Madara's plan was successful, and the other side obviously had another stronghold not far from Kirigakure.

"It seems I still need to learn a barrier technique, and I also need to replenish my spiritual energy and sage chakra. I'll have to trouble you again."

The slug returned to the shoulder, liquefied, and responded with a soft, sweet voice after completing the resonance:

“I will help Master Xiu complete his evolution; you are my only kindred spirit.”

-

In mid-June, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire completed preliminary negotiations and reached a preliminary consensus on the entrusted market.

The Land of Wind will grant 50% of the missions to the Leaf Village ninjas, and the Sand Village, as an ally, can share missions as long as the Leaf Village ninjas agree.

The terms of the agreement will most likely only be partially implemented, because the Konoha ninja will not share their spoils with the defeated nation...

After the meeting, the Jonin members who remained in the village all wore happy expressions. This result was much better than the last war, and some even began to look forward to defeating the Iwagakure ninja.

As soon as Furukawa Osamu, wearing a Jonin green vest, left the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shisui immediately came looking for him.

After the two arrived at Training Ground No. 44, they had just jumped onto a huge tree branch when Shisui hurriedly revealed the news he had received at the clan meeting:

"Senior, the clan chief has formulated a new plan. He intends to train another group of young children."

"The clan leader's son, Uchiha Itachi, has joined, and many others in the clan are responding."

"Itachi is only 2 years old. What exactly does the clan leader want to do? Aren't we young people enough?"

Seeing the incomprehension on Shisui's face, Furukawa Osamu was speechless. He had underestimated the allure of the Mangekyou Sharingan to the Uchiha.

Looking at it from another perspective, Fugaku Uchiha still has a bottom line; at least for now, he's only taking medication.

"Calm down, stay calm, don't let your emotions control your body."

"Even if we want to implement this plan, the source of the herbs is in my teacher's hands. The cultivation of mutated herbs requires a specific method, and the mother plant needs to be replaced every month or so."

"After the war ends, supplies will definitely decrease, so you don't need to worry that the medicine will affect a large number of children."

As Furukawa Osamu explained in a deep voice, Uchiha Shisui's emotions stabilized again. Seeing the other's worried expression, he simply added:

“Zhishui, what’s your decision? If you’re still worried about your people, I’ll recommend you to my teacher.”

“Once you accept this arrangement, you will be able to leverage the village’s resources.”

Previously, Uchiha Shisui had been hesitant, but at this clan meeting, Uchiha Fugaku's plan made him completely determined, and he solemnly nodded in response:

"Senior, I want to make a change."

In the evening, at Konoha Hospital, Tsunade looked at Furukawa Osamu, who had finished his work, and hesitated before finally asking the question that had been bothering her:

"Is everything Uchiha Shisui said true? Kyogenmaru can subtly change one's thoughts?"

“He is Jing’s descendant, and I have no doubt about the will of fire he inherited, but wanting to save his people? This child seems to have some issues.”

Furukawa Osamu nodded, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face:

"Shisui was just exceptionally sensitive; he was always afraid of the ever-growing power of his Sharingan."

"But the more you fear this power, the more it catalyzes that special brain chakra."

"As for matters within the Uchiha clan, it's not appropriate for you to interfere, Master. Shisui has special talents, and he will help you take care of the Uchiha clan in the future."

Tsunade sensed something odd about Furukawa Osamu's tone when she heard "future," but before she could dwell on it, he asked with concern:

"Teacher, how are you feeling?"

"The technique of the Hundred Healings Seal has evolved more than halfway. Have any problems arisen?"

"I will continue to replenish your Sage Chakra tonight. As long as this continues for a few years, allowing the technique and your body to reach a balance, you won't have to worry about backlash."

Tsunade instinctively turned her head away, avoiding Furukawa Osamu's eyes, and quickly crossed her arms in response:

"Don't worry about me, I'm in better health than ever before."

"Xiu, you also need to take care of your health. You always have to take care of me when you come back. As a teacher, I seem to be too willful."

Osamu Furukawa walked to Tsunade's side and they both looked out the window:

“It is only right for a disciple to serve his teacher. Without these teachings, I would never have gained my current strength.”

"Teacher, I will help you realize your dream."

Tsunade stared blankly at Furukawa Osamu's reflection in the window, lost in thought, before finally responding:
