Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 99 Power knows no distinction between good and evil

In late April of Konoha 49, Konoha ninjas successfully drove out the invading Sunagakure.

Although it came at a considerable cost, capturing Chiyo boosted everyone's morale!

The name "Furukawa Shura" was unanimously recognized by the Sand Village ninjas, and some Konoha ninjas also began to spread it.

After half a month, the news of the battle at Kikyo Castle has spread that Furukawa Osamu single-handedly killed 1500 Sand Village ninjas, and the number is still rising; it's only a matter of time before the number reaches 2000.

Although Osamu Furukawa withdrew from the subsequent battles, the Konoha ninjas could understand.

The more violent the power, the greater the price to pay!

Thinking of how Furukawa Osamu had exhausted his body to save people, some of the young Konoha ninjas almost shed tears when describing the battle.

No one questioned Furukawa Osamu's Will of Fire anymore. With such a disciple assisting the Fourth Hokage, the village's future was bright!

In a special care ward shrouded by a barrier at Konoha Hospital, Furukawa, whose complexion was gradually regaining its color, was conducting a routine check on Chiyo's injuries: "I didn't expect her to maintain such regenerative abilities at such a young age. You truly have a unique talent when it comes to physical modification."

The old woman looked utterly hopeless, but unable to move, she could only whisper in anguish, "Kill me, you wicked little devil!"

In the instant that Chiyo was unable to control herself and experienced emotional fluctuations, Furukawa Osamu's spirit invaded a portion of Chiyo's spiritual body.

"No wonder you could use the Ten's secret technique, Distraction Technique?"

"Interesting ability. You also seem to possess some secret techniques. I suggest you share them as soon as possible, otherwise you'll lose your personality sooner or later."

As Furukawa Osamu uttered these words, a kind smile remained on his face. Under his sincere gaze, Chiyo wailed in agony, "Kill me! You demon!"

The old woman's will was unexpectedly firm. Furukawa Osamu shook his head helplessly, and the slug on his shoulder reminded him in a soft, sweet voice, "Lord Osamu, do you need me to complete the resonance?"

"Forget it, these puppet techniques are enough. Reincarnation isn't suitable for me. Let the Yamanaka clan ninjas handle the rest of the intelligence gathering."

Upon hearing these words, Chiyo's mind went blank, causing a violent emotional upheaval. Furukawa Osamu suddenly chuckled, "I never expected you to personally bestow this secret technique upon me!"

"What amazing ninjutsu! Sunagakure truly has an excellent tradition."

Chiyo fainted upon seeing Furukawa Osamu's radiant smile. She sincerely wished to die on the battlefield so she wouldn't be subjected to such wanton humiliation.

After Furukawa Osamu left the room, the ninjas from the Barrier Squad immediately bowed, and every nurse in the corridor greeted him loudly, "Good morning, Osamu-sama!"

"Working so early, Master Xiu must take care of himself and get some rest."

"Does Master Xiu need breakfast? I made this myself..."

Osamu Furukawa greeted everyone with a friendly smile. Shizune, who was in the distance, rushed over when she saw this. She took the folder and squeezed to his side, saying, "You always like to push yourself even though you've only just recovered."

Shizune stared at Furukawa Osamu's profile and complained softly. Feeling everyone's gaze, her face grew redder and redder as she spoke.

Osamu Furukawa had intended to calm the girl down, but as soon as he turned around, he mutely grabbed the folder and ran off, causing some of the older nurses to chuckle.

In another ordinary intensive care unit, upon seeing Osamu Furukawa appear, Rin Nohara approached him with her notebook and asked him a question. After receiving his answer, she lowered her head and murmured, "Osamu, should I be a medical ninja in the rear?"

"He's been dragging everyone down and even got Obito injured."

After participating in several Kikyo Mountain missions, Nohara Rin finally understood why Kakashi didn't like teaming up with them; there was a significant gap in strength and experience between the two sides.

"Staying in the hospital can also help everyone!"

"However, the frontline personnel are under some pressure right now, and there may be even more difficult tasks in the coming months."

"Rin, don't lose faith in yourself. You're already a Chunin."

With a few words of encouragement from Furukawa Osamu, Nohara Rin quickly regained her composure. Thinking of the recent situation on the front lines, she tilted her head and praised Namikaze Minato: "The Yellow Flash! It's said that Minato-sensei single-handedly killed 200 Iwagakure ninja!"

"Both Teacher and Xiu will become Hokage in the future! I'm starting to understand what Kakashi means by talent."

When Minato Namikaze's battle report reached the village, it caused quite a stir. Unlike Osamu Furukawa's ferocious, wide-range ninjutsu, Minato's killing was "simple and unadorned."

"Minato-kun has always been incredibly powerful!"

"The number of wounded on the front lines of the Grass Country has been gradually decreasing during this period, thanks to his support."

Furukawa Osamu sighed in admiration. Ordinary ninjas were powerless against the Flying Thunder God Technique, but Namikaze Minato had a firm will and did not resist killing. Many enemies died in a single encounter.

Will Xiu go to the front lines again?

"The Sand Village and the Iwa Village don't seem to have any intention of backing down, and it's unclear when the war will end."

Nohara Rin sighed. After many battlefield missions, the girl realized her true self and preferred a peaceful and tranquil life.

"I should probably head to the eastern part of the Land of Fire soon!"

"Lord Orochimaru is in the Land of Rain. I should be on guard against the Hidden Mist Ninja. If you receive any missions from me, don't forget to let me know."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin immediately smiled. She used to dislike being taken care of, but after experiencing some battles, she had come to terms with reality: "Thank you, Shu!"

"If I receive a relevant assignment, I won't hesitate to take it."

Obito Uchiha jumped off the bed and saw Rin Nohara smiling happily beside Osamu Furukawa. He felt a pang of sadness and walked to the door, shouting, "Rin, there's no need for you to do this for me."

"I will protect you. It's all Kakashi's fault. That damn guy watched me get hurt. He thought I could get away with it. He just wanted to see me make a fool of myself."

Nohara Rin tapped her forehead helplessly, tilted her head, and whispered an apology to Furukawa Osamu. Then she turned to him and cautioned, "Obito! Don't be stubborn, I've been watching you!"

"Xiu Neng takes care of us during missions, and I don't want to see you get hurt again..."

Obito Uchiha ignored some of the content and, seeing the girl's concerned eyes, the pain in his thigh disappeared instantly.

Osamu Furukawa quietly left. The kinder and more loving one is, the more extreme darkness can be unleashed. The White Zetsu are monitoring Obito every day, and Madara Uchiha has clearly not given up on his plan.

In early May, the village leadership once again deployed a large number of Konoha ninja to the front lines.

The sudden retreat of Kumogakure greatly reduced the pressure on Iwagakure, allowing them to deploy more troops to the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.

None of the three parties made any further attempts to probe, and Sunagakure even refused to negotiate, continuing to unite with Iwagakure to fight against Konoha ninjas in the Land of Rain.

Orochimaru, of course, would not back down. He launched a counterattack against the sudden attack by ninjas from both countries, regardless of the losses. The fierce battle once again dragged the ordinary people of the Land of Rain into the war.

Fugaku Uchiha once again led his clansmen in battle on the front lines of the Land of Rain, and the name "Fugaku the Fierce-Eyed" began to spread widely.

"Fighting with drugs" has become a habit for most Uchiha ninjas. The more intense the battle, the more they can enhance their eye power through drugs!

Influenced by the special chakra in their brains, most Uchiha ninjas became obsessed with power, while others grew increasingly weary of war, leading to two opposing voices emerging within the Uchiha clan.

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Shisui, who had returned to the village from the front lines to recuperate from his injuries, looked worried. The shuriken he threw were weak and listless, and the kunai he threw at the farthest target failed to hit the black center.

Furukawa Osamu did not immediately ask any questions. After jumping into the air, he casually pulled out eight kunai and held them in his hand.

After throwing four kunai in his right hand, he turned his body and threw them again as he fell. The kunai collided in mid-air and flew precisely towards the tree and the target on the ground.

"Knock knock!"

After Furukawa landed, the eight kunai were deeply embedded in the bullseye. Uchiha Shisui then came to his senses and, seeing that the kunai had almost pierced through the wooden target, immediately praised, "Senpai is truly amazing! No one in the village could achieve such strength and precision."

"I still prefer shuriken; this skill-based way of winning doesn't suit me."

Noticing Shisui's hesitant expression, Furukawa Osamu asked with a serious look, "Are you worried about the medication and your eye power again?"

"I've heard some rumors within the Uchiha clan. There's no need to get caught up in the good versus evil of power. Such disagreements are simply a matter of wavering will."

Shisui suddenly thought of his father, whose personality had become increasingly worse since he started taking the medication. His pupil power seemed to amplify some kind of emotion, and the relationship between the father and son was deteriorating.

"Senior, how can I resolve this disagreement?"

"The clan meeting no longer focuses on how the clan members are doing; everyone is discussing how to awaken an even more powerful Sharingan."

"We seem to be heading towards another extreme, with a feeling that if things continue like this, problems will inevitably arise one day."

It sounds a bit strange for a child under 10 years old to be thinking about these things, but Furukawa Osamu was already used to the Uchiha's sensitive mind. He looked at Shisui seriously and said, "If you are worried that this will cause unrest in the village, I can introduce you to my teacher."

"As a bridge between the Uchiha clan and the village, you can eliminate misunderstandings between the two sides."

"As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, I've looked through some materials, and perhaps you have a greater talent for awakening it than other members of your clan."

"Once you master this supreme pupil technique, as long as you maintain your original intention, all turmoil will subside."

Uchiha Shisui froze on the spot, blinking unconsciously, an incredulous look on his face. He pointed at himself and whispered, "I...I have the talent to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"Yes, believe in yourself, I think this will be the best solution!"

Furukawa Osamu gave an affirmative answer, and Shisui was stunned for a while, seemingly not expecting such a confirmation. He then asked again in a low voice, "Why do you value me so much, senpai?"

"Because your talent can help my teacher, this is my way of repaying her."

"Only by helping the teachers stabilize the village can I pursue my dreams with peace of mind."

Furukawa Osamu responded with a smile, while Shisui seemed inexplicably disappointed. He then looked up with a serious expression and asked, "What is your dream, senpai?"

"I want to live forever. I want to experience what it feels like to be cursed with immortality."
