The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

The earth and stone seemed to realize something.

The Hero's Water should be condensed from the Tree of Life, so why is it directly contained in a gourd and hung there?

Don't tell me that the Heroic Water condensed from the Tree of Life was directly transferred into the gourd.

"This gourd must have been collected last time."

Tu Shi offered his own guess.

If that's the case, then where is the Hero's Water produced?

Where to collect them?

Tu Shi set his sights on the area where the temple was located.

No one would see such a temple for no reason; the place where the Hero's Water gathers must be in this temple.

Because of his spiritual perception, Tu Shi was able to clearly understand the entire structure of the temple.

The interior of the temple is not enclosed.

It is connected to the outside world.

He placed the gourd containing the Hero's Water into his ninja tool bag and walked towards the depths of the temple.

With the aid of the Sharingan, Tsuchishi was able to see his surroundings clearly.

There's a reason why no fire was lit. The surrounding natural energy is far too concentrated, and after being purified by the Tree of Life, this natural energy carries the aura of wood to varying degrees. If a fire were lit here, the earth and stone dare not imagine the consequences.

"Here?"

Upon reaching the deepest point, it turns out to be connected to the end of the main root of the Tree of Life, and from the end of the main root, several other large roots extend out.

The main root hangs vertically, while the other large roots form a sphere, with the very end extending from below, guarding the end of the main root, forming a container for the hero's water.

"The wonders of nature truly exceed our imagination!"

The earth and stone were deeply moved by this scene.

Heroic waters, secretions from the tree of life?

The soil and rocks were visible; the interior was nearly full.

Perhaps the secret here has been lost to anyone since Kakuzu massacred the high-ranking officials of Takigakure. At least the news about the gathering place of Hero's Water has been lost, which is why no one has come to collect Hero's Water for a long time, resulting in the accumulation of so much Hero's Water.

It's important to understand that before Kakuzu's defection, in the early days of Takigakure, Hero's Water wasn't some sacred object or legend. The village ninjas frequently saw it, and many had drunk it, indicating its production wasn't low—enough for at least a hundred people annually. And the Hero's Water accumulated here is far more than just a tiny bit more than that previous gourd; it's an entire pool, a difference of thousands of times!

Now all this accumulated heroic water has turned to dust and stones!

"This amount of Hero's Water is enough; it's enough for me and my clones to use while training in Sage Mode."

Takigakure, the Tree of Life...

Although with these Heroic Waters, he wouldn't be returning here for a long time, Tu Shi knew that his true form would return at least in the future to carefully study the so-called Tree of Life.

The reason is simply that the other party is able to gather natural energy and even absorb large amounts of natural energy.

Perhaps, this tree could even be considered a spiritual root!

They collected all the Hero's Water and then left the area.

Now is not the time to study the Tree of Life.

After thinking for a moment, Tsuchishi took the gourd containing the Hero's Water from his ninja tool bag and put it back in its original place.

Yeah, leave some for them. I still have principles.

Using earth magic, the soil and rocks returned to the ground.

"Sir, have you found it?"

Shuiyan looked at the earth and stones with hopeful eyes, her longing evident in her gaze.

Tu Shi pondered for a while, then shook his head.

You can't let him see it, and you can't give it to him.

Drinking the Hero's Water will most likely kill you!

For your sake, I'm not giving it to you.

"Where is the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Only then did the hookah suddenly awaken.

This guy's goal isn't just the Hero's Water, but most likely the Seven-Tails!

Those who are already Kage-level powerhouses don't necessarily crave Hero's Water; on the contrary, things like Tailed Beasts might be more appealing to them!

Damn it! I was so focused on whether the other side could get the Hero's Water.

How to do?

Should we hand over Feng?

Hookah was weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Only then did they realize that they seemed to have no choice. Moreover, the Seven-Tails was beyond their control, and every time it went out of control, it would bring them enormous trouble. Handing it over to this adult didn't seem like an unacceptable option.

Shortly after, Suien ordered her subordinates to bring over the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Kaede.

The middle-aged ninja that Tsuchishi had seen when he first entered was also among them. Shuiyan stopped making any moves. This adult probably didn't get the Hero's Water, or if he did, he knew its side effects. Shuiyan probably wouldn't have a chance to make a move, so she canceled her previous arrangements.

A little girl with short, blue-green hair, a hair clip on her right side, dark skin, and orange eyes stood fearfully in front of the earth and rocks.

Ignoring the little girl's condition, Tsuchishi scrutinized the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki with a merciless gaze.

No, it should be said that they were examining the seven tails inside the little girl's body.

Should we engage the Seven-Tails in direct combat?

At this moment, Tsuchishi was considering the possibility of releasing the Seven-Tails to fight him.

"Let's forget about it. We just fought the Eight-Tails, there's no need to fight the Seven-Tails so soon. Besides, if we really start fighting, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will probably find out. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, they might react in an extreme way."

"Moreover, the Seven-Tails seems to be able to release phosphorus powder attacks, which are also poisonous and disgusting."

Tu Shi made a decision in his heart.

I won't fight the Seven-Tails.

Hands form a mudra.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two shadow clones appeared.

He ordered the others to stay away, and Tu Shi left behind a shadow clone while his main body and the other shadow clone retreated a distance.

Hands form a mudra.

"Qi Yuan Slash"

The Spirit Slash without the Lava Release attribute is enough to deal with the Seven-Tails; at least cutting off its tail won't be a problem.

Even Tushi couldn't help but wonder if he had some strange fetish, since every time he collected tailed beast limbs, they were always tails...

Seeing that the main body was ready, the shadow clone in front of Feng turned its right hand into a knife and slashed at Feng's neck. After Feng fainted, the clone formed hand seals to cast a sealing technique, locking Feng's consciousness.

Then he stepped back.

Tu Shi suppressed his aura as much as possible and did not use the Lava Giant or Lava Release: Spirit Slash, only using Spirit Slash, which made him relatively less threatening. This made the Seven-Tails not take Tu Shi very seriously. Seeing that he could get out, he naturally took action immediately.

With Feng's consciousness sealed, the Seven-Tails seized the opportunity to take control of Feng's body.

The Seven-Tails' chakra dissipated, and a violent aura permeated the air.

"Chirp!" (Seven-tailed beetle, I don't know what to call it, so I'll just use this description for now)

Maple's body quickly entered the tailed beast transformation state, a tail appeared, followed by three pairs of wings, and then, with the roar of the Seven-Tails, it entered its complete form.

The appearance of the Seven-Tails was also revealed to everyone.

It's a beetle with six wings and a tail, but that's not the problem. The key is its size. Its body, which is a full hundred meters long, is no smaller than other tailed beasts, and the green light emanating from its tail is even more eerie.

Just as the Seven-Tails entered its complete form, Tsuchishi launched an attack, and two shadow clones quietly began forming hand seals.

The Qi Yuan Slash was unleashed.

A sharp disc hurtled through the air.

The earth and rocks were not far from the Seven-Tails to begin with, and in just a moment, the Qi Yuan Slash had arrived in front of the Seven-Tails.

"grumble!"

The Seven-Tailed Fox roared in anger. It had already witnessed this guy in the sealed space. Although it knew that its release was related to the other party, this guy made no attempt to hide its naked malice. The moment it came out, this guy launched an attack! It was furious!

Like other tailed beasts, the Seven-Tails is extremely skilled in using its tail, habitually choosing to use it for both attack and defense.

Faced with the Qi Yuan Slash, the Seven-Tailed Fox held its tail upside down in front of it and crossed its six wings in front of it, preparing to block the Qi Yuan Slash.

Tu Shi revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Tailed beasts are, after all, beasts; even with intelligence, they cannot escape their instincts.

I want your tail.

Oh, and there should also be wings.

"grumble!"

The Seven-Tailed Fox's roar, filled with rage and pain, echoed in all directions. Even the earth and stone couldn't help but cover their ears; the sound was too piercing.

The Qi Yuan Slash sliced ​​through the Seven-Tails' defenses without any hindrance, and even after severing the Seven-Tails' tail and wings, it continued its momentum and struck the Seven-Tails' carapace.

As expected of a beetle, the Seven-Tailed Fox's carapace was quite hard. The Qi Yuan Slash, whose power was somewhat neutralized by its tail and wings, did not directly cut through the Seven-Tailed Fox's carapace, but only left a deep crack.

When the Seven-Tails became enraged, Tsuchi-Shiki's two shadow clones had already completed the hand seals and were ready to use the sealing technique.

"Five Elements Seal!"

Apart from the severed tail and wings, the Seven-Tails' entire body was pulled back into Maple's body by the sealing power.

Double Five Elements Seal!

Although it didn't combine the two Four Symbols Seals to form the Eight Trigrams Seal like Minato Namikaze did, creating an effect greater than the sum of its parts, the simultaneous use of the two Five Elements Seals still added considerable power, directly resealing the Seven-Tails into the Jinchūriki's body.

The battle was over.
