Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 95 The Hidden Mist's Alternative Plan

At the end of February in Konoha 49, news of the invasion of Sunagakure and the rampage of the tailed beasts continued to spread.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village faced protests, and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind unusually spoke up for the village. Unfortunately, the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning did not respond.

The Sand Village ninjas have become a laughing stock. They were able to sneak into the depths of the village and steal the secret techniques that were strictly guarded. No matter how you look at it, the Sand Village is rotten to the core.

At the eastern outpost of the Land of Fire, the Konoha ninjas, after completing their daily patrols, would chat and laugh as they gossiped about news from the ninja world.

Upon seeing Furukawa Osamu appear, the ninja squads bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Osamu!"

"Congratulations, Xiu-sama, on receiving the Jonin nomination."

"The youngest Jonin in the ninja world, the Hokage is still a bit conservative."

"Once Lady Tsunade takes over, the village will surely make even greater progress."

Furukawa Osamu smiled and offered a few words of encouragement, his flattery growing even more; even ninjas have their ways of the world.

Ever since he teamed up with Orochimaru to steal the tailed beast's chakra, this teacher has become somewhat obsessed with it, even boldly suggesting that they "take a stroll" through Kumogakure.

Although he had intelligence agents to help him, Furukawa Osamu wasn't so arrogant as to go to the Land of Lightning and "walk into a trap." Kumogakure had probably already begun to suspect him.

Since Kirigakure has remained inactive, the missions at the eastern base have been exceptionally easy, and many young Chunin squads have come here for training.

Uchiha Shisui chose to stay by Furukawa Shu's side. This Uchiha genius was progressing very quickly, but a strange worry always appeared on his face.

"Senior, is it possible for Kyogenmaru to trigger a higher level of Sharingan?"

After hesitating for a few days, Shisui finally asked the question. Furukawa Osamu, while eating his rice ball, feigned ignorance and asked in return, "More advanced?"

"As long as you have outstanding talent, getting three tomoe shouldn't be a problem. They're essentially just another form of chakra expression."

Shisui, sitting on the wooden stake, hesitated to speak, but the more he thought about it these past few days, the more frightened he became. Finally, he whispered, "Senior, it's not the three-tomoe Sharingan."

"Within the Uchiha clan, there is an even more powerful eye technique beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan—the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"According to clan records, Madara Uchiha possessed such eyes; they represent an extremely powerful force."

.

"I think the clan leader seems to be intentionally creating the Mangekyou Sharingan. Compared to the last war, our drug rations have increased."

"If the drug can really generate such power, then the village will definitely be thrown into turmoil."

Shisui became particularly emotional towards the end, but Furukawa Osamu calmly finished his rice ball and simply reminded him, "Your emotions are currently being affected by the medication!"

"Don't let your obsession control your body; stay calm and think rationally."

"I don't know anything about the Mangekyou Sharingan you mentioned, but obtaining that kind of power will inevitably come at a huge price."

"It's difficult for the Kyonenmaru to generate higher levels of chakra; this is determined by the nature of the drug."

Shisui sat on the wooden stake, taking several deep breaths. Then, frustrated, he tugged at his curly hair and bowed his head in apology: "I'm sorry, senpai, I just can't control this power."

"Whenever an obsession arises in my mind, after taking the medication, that emotion is amplified, and my pupil strength also deepens."

"I seem to have started to become addicted to this power. If my senior hadn't reminded me, I might have fallen into extreme emotions again."

Uchiha Shisui said he "didn't want to take medicine," but his body betrayed him, and he had gotten into the habit of taking one during missions.

Furukawa Osamu had been secretly recording this. The brain chakra generated by the Kyogenmaru seemed to be a higher level of energy, which could also be called the source of the Uchiha's power: "It's okay, Shisui, don't forget your age."

"Let the adults worry about their own affairs. I believe that Clan Chief Fugaku will lead the Uchiha clan on the right path."

Shisui let out a long breath, looked at Furukawa Osamu, and said with a look of admiration, "Senior is always able to remain clear-headed in the face of power. I simply cannot do that."

"Every time I talk to my father about these things, he just beats and scolds me. Recently, he has even questioned the issue of blood ties."

"I don't know who to talk to about this. Nobody in the clan cares. Everyone is focused on studying the changes in eye power."

Furukawa Osamu almost lost his composure, even having the thought of doubting his own son. He struggled to maintain his expression, patted Shisui's shoulder, and instructed, "Speak up if you have any thoughts."

"I believe you will definitely be able to lead the Uchiha clan in the future. Be more confident in yourself. Shall we practice Fire Release ninjutsu today?"

Shisui smiled and responded loudly. He enjoyed training with Furukawa Osamu, as it allowed him to progress faster than within the clan.

As the two walked together into the dense forest, Shisui watched Furukawa Osamu's retreating figure and silently resolved: "I will become the clan leader, protect the village, and protect my elders!"

At 4 a.m., Furukawa Osamu arrived at the secret base near the coast. Without lighting any candles, he manipulated his spirit body to slowly refine Sage Chakra, while also sensing the situation within a 10-kilometer radius.

Mei Terumi, having climbed the hillside, looked around. Startled by the voice in her mind, she showed anger on her face and followed the instructions step by step to the agreed location.

In the pitch-black night, Mei Terumi vaguely saw Osamu Furukawa's profile. She quickly regained her composure, shouting furiously, "What did you do to me?!"

"If you want to get information from Kirigakure, you've come to the wrong person. I'm not a reformer, nor do I want to overthrow the Third Mizukage's rule."

"I just want to live a good life. You can't get anything from me."

After the other party finished venting his emotions and sat down on the ground panting, Furukawa Osamu casually replied, "I have obtained useful information. Kirigakure has actually begun to mobilize the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"You're not a reformer, but someone recognizes your talent and will naturally get useful information from you."

"Spirits just amplify your emotions. If you can stay calm at all times, it's hard for me to perceive much information."

Mei Terumi looked at Osamu Furukawa who had come to her and quickly turned her head away. The girl felt embarrassed and annoyed when she thought about her wild thoughts earlier. It was all because she was so badly injured back then.

"I hope you will become the Mizukage and gain control of more resources in the Land of Water!"

"Only in this way can I support my future research. I think it's a win-win situation: you fulfill your dream, and I gain valuable resources."

Mei Terumi kept her head down, still not daring to look at Osamu Furukawa. His words caused her chest to heave again: "If I could become the Mizukage, I would kill you the moment I see you!"

"Get rid of the pursuers first before you talk to me about these pointless things. If you encounter difficulties, just silently repeat them in your mind, and I will sense them."

After giving a brief instruction, Furukawa turned and left. Mei Terumi finally looked up, a strange emotion surging within her again. She could only barely control herself from overthinking: "You're such a despicable bastard!"
