Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

-

Inside the dark, enormous stone cave, the White Zetsu were also sharing news from the ninja world. Their lair had been destroyed by Furukawa Osamu, resulting in the loss of a large number of Divine Tree roots, and their intelligence network needed to be rebuilt.

Every day, Obito Uchiha could hear the chattering of several White Zetsu. Although he wasn't alone, he felt extremely lonely.

It was as if the person named "Uchiha Obito" no longer existed in this world; everything outside was irrelevant to him, and no one cared whether he existed or not.

Leaning back in the stone chair, Madara Uchiha used his long white hair to cover most of his dark face, while his Sharingan in his left eye occasionally observed Obito's condition.

As someone who had long been "dead," Madara Uchiha knew how Obito felt at this moment.

The best way to prove your existence and combat loneliness is through recollection—recalling everything you've experienced in your life.

Hashirama was his pillar of support; whenever Madara Uchiha recalled their battles, he could feel his own presence.

Obito Uchiha was too young. Madara Uchiha knew that in order to fight loneliness, Obito would desperately try to remember that girl, and the accumulated longing would eventually become the nourishment for his Sharingan.

"Ah! That's enough! I want to go back to Konoha!"

"Rin and Kakashi are still waiting for me. With these Sharingan, I can help more people in the village."

"Grandpa, thank you for teaching me how to use the Sharingan, but I really have to go back now."

After yelling for a while, Obito rolled around on the stone bed, finally landing on the ground with a cry of pain. The White Zetsu beside him then began to mock him.

"Want to poop? You've lost the urge, you've become just like us."

"Damn it, you bunch of weirdos! Don't think you can laugh at me just because you're chatting with me!"

Just as Obito was about to retaliate, Madara Uchiha suddenly raised his head and, as always, spoke in a completely calm tone:

"Konoha? The village? Do you really care about these things?"

"For the ninjas of Konoha, Obito Uchiha no longer exists."

Having experienced death, you should be more aware of your true self and what you truly crave.

Obito Uchiha felt increasingly distressed listening to the garbled words. He didn't want to think about them carefully; he was afraid of being forgotten. His pent-up emotions finally exploded, and he roared:

"Enough! I am Obito Uchiha from the Uchiha clan of Konoha!"

"Who is more important, the girl whose name you call out in your dreams or the village?"

"Who is more important: the Konoha you've forgotten, your clan, or the girl named 'Rin'?"

"Only by recognizing your true self can you master the power of the Sharingan."

Madara Uchiha continued to "instruct" Obito Uchiha in a completely flat tone. The boy, who was in the darkness, seemed to have realized something and stopped moving, looking dejected.

Influenced by the old man, Obito grew increasingly afraid of being forgotten. He began to try hard to recall each day of his past, and as he was carried to bed, he murmured silently:

“Lin…”

A slight smile played on the corners of the black face hidden behind the white hair. Every day, he was subjected to intense "interrogation of his inner self." In such a dark environment, no one could remain unaffected.

As the plan progressed, Madara Uchiha grew increasingly eager for the arrival of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Obito Uchiha and Osamu Furukawa, the will of the Uchiha and the will of the Senju clan are intertwined once again."

"Hashirama, you've won again, but this time I'm destined to win the final victory."

In Kirigakure, Mei Terumi recently joined the assassination squad through her connection with Suigetsu Hozuki. With the help of Osamu Furukawa, the girl successfully completed several high-difficulty missions.

Most ninja villages will focus on training ninjas with outstanding talents.

The situation is a bit different in Kirigakure. Under the Blood Mist policy, outstanding bloodline limit ninjas are actually met with hostility...

As she submitted her mission and left the Dark Side building, Mei Terumi, wearing a mask and exuding a murderous aura, ignored her companions in the village and walked straight towards the door.

The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village all bowed their heads and made way for her. Mei Terumi initially felt extremely pleased, but then quickly composed herself.

"There's no need for that. Sharing these joys and sorrows with you is also a fun thing."

"You should have recognized your true self long ago, right? These desires can actually make you stronger."

When Mei Terumi heard Osamu Furukawa's voice in her mind, she almost broke down on the spot. Although she was wearing a mask, she felt that everyone around her could see her embarrassing appearance.

After unloading her equipment at the Dark Side building, Mei Terumi hurriedly returned to her apartment. Standing in front of the mirror, the girl angrily said again:

"Don't think I'll trust you just because you've helped me a few times!"

"You've gathered a lot of information; it's time to end this relationship."

"The weak have no right to negotiate with the strong. Let me think carefully, who is it that keeps sharing embarrassing childhood stories with me every night..."

"Shut up! You bastard!..."

In front of the mirror, Mei Terumi covered her flushed face and screamed repeatedly. Whenever she felt lonely, she would unconsciously start talking to Osamu Furukawa.

She became extremely addicted to this constant companionship, but the thought of the information she had leaked made her constantly blame herself.

After twisting and turning wildly for a few minutes, Mei Terumi finally controlled her surging emotions, looked at herself in the mirror, and muttered to herself:

"He no longer asks me to explore every inch of the village."

"It was just killing. I didn't betray the village. These were all tasks assigned by Suigetsu Fuguki."

Furukawa Osamu's spirit was speechless again. Whenever she felt guilty, the girl would nervously comfort herself and even try to find his good points.

There's no need to continue investigating Madara Uchiha's stronghold, naturally because he's already succeeded, and it doesn't matter what the old man wants to do next.

"Keep killing! Until you become the Mizukage, we can change the village together."

"It's very easy to manipulate the so-called daimyo of the Land of Water without them knowing you can do it."

"At that time, the Land of Water will be completely under your control, and all I need is your support."

When Mei Terumi heard Osamu Furukawa's voice in her mind again, she stared blankly at herself in the mirror, the blush on her face still lingering, and a feeling of joy began to well up.

After grumbling twice in protest and remaining silent for a while, Mei Terumi suddenly spoke up:

"Ah."

Furukawa Osamu's spirit pretended not to hear; he needed to arrange some "escape routes," and even more so, he needed this "killing" from Kirigakure:

"The 'death supplement' and bloodline limit of the Land of Water are not to be missed."

Snow fell on Konoha Village earlier than in previous years, the situation became clearer, and the number of missions increased slightly. The Konoha ninjas were very satisfied with this situation.

The Uchiha clan members were very satisfied, and under the leadership of clan leader Fugaku Uchiha, more and more clan members awakened the Sharingan!

All signs indicate that the Uchiha clan is on the path to greatness, and they will once again bear the title of "strongest clan".

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, Osamu Furukawa and Shisui Uchiha were enjoying freshly grilled senbei. Shisui was genuinely happy every time he saw the increasingly bustling commercial street.

"Senior, if only our clansmen could all live such a peaceful life."

"Actually, many people have this idea. It was thanks to the reminder from my seniors that I was able to realize what everyone is thinking."

"Like the owner here, he doesn't really care about the chief's plans. The ordinary people just want to live a prosperous life."

Zhi Shui whispered his thoughts, explaining that he had recently had heart-to-heart talks with many of his clansmen and had gained a better understanding of their needs.

Furukawa Osamu nodded slightly, greeted the ninjas who entered the shop, and then responded with a smile:

"Don't forget that besides ninjas, there are many other people living here."

"Clan Chief Fugaku is indeed very powerful. You don't need to completely deny these clansmen. Just keep this power under control."

"With your talent, there shouldn't be any problem."

Upon hearing the praise again, Uchiha Shisui blushed slightly; he rarely received approval from his family.

"Thanks to your teachings, senior, not only in how to think about problems, but also in fire-style ninjutsu, no one in the clan can compare to you!"

Osamu Furukawa hoped that Shisui's strength could suppress the other clan members, and Madara Uchiha's knowledge of fire-style ninjutsu could be of help:

"These are just some tips. Keep up the good work, Shisui."

Seeing Furukawa's nonchalant demeanor, Uchiha Shisui felt even more respect, bowed slightly, and happily replied:

"Yes, senior, I will try my best to keep up with you."

Chapter 112 "Evil" Immortal Arts?

At the end of November, Tsunade, who had taken on more work, quietly moved to a secluded courtyard on the east side of the village.

The move went unnoticed by anyone. Osamu Furukawa took on the "labor," proving that the Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed very useful; he could handle the job all by himself using the Shadow Clone Technique.

Shizune was somewhat reluctant to see Tsunade leave, but she knew that her teacher was creating an opportunity for her.

In the end, the girl accepted the kindness, and Shizune would be especially happy whenever she saw Furukawa Osamu preparing breakfast for her.

Late at night, Tsunade, having changed into casual clothes, sat cross-legged in front of Furukawa Shu once again, quietly adjusting her breathing:

"Let's begin, repair!"

Furukawa Osamu nodded solemnly, and after forming a hand seal, an even more solidified spiritual body appeared in front of Tsunade.

Although the killing has decreased recently, the bodies of White Zetsu controlled by the live slugs and spirits are still secretly collecting death energy on the front lines.

With the added "efforts" of Mei Terumi and Minami, Osamu Furukawa's spirit body became even stronger.

In some ways, the chaotic ninja world was more suitable for the growing Furukawa Osamu. Before his body and spirit reached their limits, he needed a "death supplement."

Tsunade was unaware of the specifics of her disciple's ninjutsu. She assumed that everyone could see the spirit, and at this moment, she was unaware of the connection between her Hundred Healings Seal and Osamu Furukawa.

The spiritual form of Tsunade looked up at the chakra mist above her head, instinctively grasped Furukawa Osamu's left hand, and turned her head to ask softly:

"If I complete the accumulation and form the Hundred Hairs Seal, will I be able to cultivate immortal arts?"

"It's still quite difficult. Only after we can steadily refine a large amount of Sage Chakra can the live slug help us."

"The magic of Shikko Forest can activate the body to its limit, and with long-term use, cells can even increase the number of divisions."

Furukawa's spirit form looked down at Tsunade, noticing a flash of disappointment on her face, and immediately added with a smile:

“With me here, I can also help the teacher accomplish these tasks.”

"A little bit of Sage Chakra is nothing to me, teacher. Get ready and let's begin."

Furukawa Osamu grasped Tsunade's hands in spirit form and slowly merged into her body after she nodded.

Perhaps it was because Tsunade had reached a certain stage in her training of the Hundred Healings Seal, but she felt her body "boiling," with her cells constantly absorbing ordinary chakra and Sage Mode chakra from Osamu Furukawa.

The thrill of being in control returned, and Tsunade focused her mind to control the rate at which her body's cells absorbed nutrients.

This time was different from the past. Tsunade found it extremely difficult to control the technique. After an unknown amount of time, her "boiling" body finally stopped.

As her consciousness regained control of her body, Tsunade suddenly lost her strength. She could feel her body undergoing another transformation, but now she couldn't muster any energy.

Furukawa Osamu quickly came to her side and put his arm around the limp Tsunade, letting her lean on his shoulder before asking in a low voice:

"Teacher, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Don't push yourself. It's very difficult to evolve the Hundred Healings Seal using ordinary chakra."

"I...I'm fine, I just didn't expect that reaching this stage of cultivation would require so much chakra..."

Tsunade lowered her head and responded softly. At this moment, she was trying to calm herself down. After taking a deep breath, she finally managed to turn her head to look at Furukawa Osamu.

Noticing the anxious and worried look on her disciple's face, Tsunade immediately lowered her head, trying to keep her voice as cheerful as usual, and repeated her instructions:

"Don't underestimate me, I'm just over-refining my chakra."

"It seems too late. Why don't you stay here tonight? There are plenty of rooms available."

"I understand, teacher."

Tsunade's heart tightened upon hearing Furukawa Osamu's response, but then, hearing her disciple's concerned question, she quickly pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind:

"I didn't expect absorbing a large amount of Sage Chakra from Shikkotsu Forest to have such side effects..."

At 4 a.m., when it was still pitch black, Danzo continued to review the intelligence he had gathered in a room deep within the roots beneath the Shadow Rock by candlelight.

The situation in the Land of Rain is quite problematic. Danzo has witnessed the power of the Rinnegan and simply doesn't believe that Hanzo can kill the opponent.

"If this power cannot be controlled, it must be eliminated."

"Secretly recruit another batch of members. Ryuma, don't alarm the Third Hokage and Tsunade about this. Go contact the ninja clan; they know what to do."
