Chapter 35: Preparations for Konoha Village
The power of history is like a relentless tide. Even with Su Xiuyu's unexpected appearance, the course of Konoha's creation continued to follow its destined path. No one had yet figured out the exact blueprint for the future village, but Su Xiuyu had already thought of the name.
Unfortunately, despite his efforts, he failed to win over the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance. In truth, it didn't really matter. Su Xiuyu had simply followed the wisdom from his previous life—one more friend means one less enemy. He had done his part to pave a smoother road for the Uchiha clan.
But the failure wasn't significant. After all, only cattle and sheep traveled in herds—tigers and leopards roamed alone. If Su Xiuyu truly wanted to, he could have wiped out the three clans in a single day.
But what's the point?
He wasn't a butcher. There was no satisfaction in slaughtering the weak.
After mulling it over, Su Xiuyu felt better. Even if his efforts to form alliances failed, the Uchiha clan still had Madara and himself. Even if Madara eventually passed away in a hundred years, Su Xiuyu would still be there.
Glancing at the system panel, he noticed the further enhancement of his Ōtsutsuki bloodline. Su Xiuyu knew he had a long life ahead of him—possibly even immortality, like the true Ōtsutsuki.
Of course, immortality didn't mean invincibility. Even Ōtsutsuki could be killed. The Sage of Six Paths and the Ōtsutsuki clan themselves were proof. Kaguya, for all her godly power, was sealed away by her own sons.
What weighed on Su Xiuyu's mind more was Uzumaki Mito's lifespan. The Uzumaki clan was known for their longevity, but even they had limits. Mito secretly practiced the Yin Seal, mainly to preserve her youthful appearance. It was vanity, yes, but Su Xiuyu didn't mind—he liked it.
There was still plenty of time to find a way to grant Mito immortality. And with the possibility of traveling to other worlds, he was confident he could eventually find a method.
