The two days were obviously not enough for Uzumaki Minami to improve the Control Talisman of the Reanimation Jutsu, but it was enough to make Uchiha Yoichi very proficient with the Sage Talisman.
Here, he could simulate living people and the Snake Heart Pill. In just two days, Uchiha Yoichi bestowed the Sage Curse Seal upon more than a hundred people. Although there were initially deaths from failures, all of the latter seventy to eighty people survived.
By the end, Uchiha Yoichi also became very familiar with the Sage Curse Seal, ensuring a 100% survival rate.
Once he was done, Uchiha Yoichi went to see Uzumaki Minami.
However, when Uzumaki Minami saw Uchiha Yoichi come in, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Yoichi, I... I haven't improved this Control Talisman yet!"
"You've really disappointed me!"
Uchiha Yoichi's face darkened, then he went to the table where the torture instruments were and picked up a whip, walking over to lash Minami ten times.
Uzumaki Minami held onto the table, biting her lip tightly.
"If there's no progress by tomorrow, it will be reduced to seven lashes... no, five lashes!"
"Wh-what?"
At first, Uzumaki Minami was already unhappy hearing the number seven, but when it changed to five, her face immediately fell.
Then Uzumaki Minami hurriedly promised, "I will definitely succeed, Lord Yoichi!"
But if this could motivate Uzumaki Minami, he could try to accommodate it.
"Go back, and don't tell anyone about what's happening here, not anyone!"
"Yes, I understand, Lord Yoichi."
Uchiha Yoichi checked the time; it was exactly forty-eight hours. Then, everything in front of his eyes changed as he left the Dream Space, and he saw the ceiling of his bedroom.
"I'm back... I forgot to ask Uzumaki Minami how long it might take to improve it. If it can't be done within a month, then the Dream Space will be gone..."
Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself; he would have to wait for Uzumaki Minami to return to the village and let her slowly try.
"Besides Minami, Kushina is also a good Sealing Master... Forget it, she's not one of us, and this is Reanimation Jutsu. If she leaks it, it would be bad."
Uchiha Yoichi quickly discarded this thought. His relationship with Kushina was actually quite ordinary, just nodding if they met. Even though Kushina was close to Minami, he didn't want Kushina to know about the Reanimation Jutsu.
Who knows if Kushina, after learning about the Forbidden Technique, might go and tell Namikaze Minato, and then it would be reported layer by layer until the higher-ups of Konoha knew about it.
"You've worked hard today, you may go back now."
Uchiha Yoichi said upon seeing the small snake from Ryuchi Cave in the corner. Then, remembering something, he added, "Tell Ichikishimahime not to worry, I will eventually go to Ryuchi Cave to learn Immortal Techniques."
The two Immortal Techniques of Ryuchi Cave are quite useful. One is the White Rage Jutsu, combining light and sound waves, a type of strong control Immortal Technique that even Susanoo can't defend against.
The second can control inorganic substances. While the attack might not be strong, it can change the environment and control the enemy.
A typical battlefield group control skill.
Unfortunately, there's no time now, and Uchiha Yoichi also wanted to let his body adapt more to Natural Energy before practicing Immortal Techniques. The longer he adapted, the less dangerous the cultivation of Immortal Techniques would be.
After returning from the Eastern Front, if time allows, he will go to Ryuchi Cave to cultivate Immortal Techniques.
On the other side, the Kikyo Castle battlefield.
Uzumaki Minami suddenly awoke from a dream and, after looking around, she realized she was still in her dwelling at Kikyo Castle. It was just a dream.
"Why did I dream of that kind of thing? Lord Yoichi punished me in such a way, it's too much... All the previous dreams were..."
Uzumaki Minami rubbed her bottom, and suddenly the dream felt very real, even the pain in her bottom and the experimentation with improving the Talisman in the dream were so real.
"I must be too tired recently, to have such an outrageous dream. Quickly, give me back my previous dreams..."
Uzumaki Minami patted her head and then lay down again, intending to return to her previous dreamland.
——————————————
Early the next morning, Uchiha Yokokawa and Uchiha Masato found those willing to go to the battlefield with Uchiha Yoichi, twelve Chunin, and thirty-six Genin, their names recorded.
However, only twenty people gathered today. These clansmen either had already awakened their Sharingan or had good talent and were worth focusing on training.
They all knew they were to receive a very strong power. Although gaining it would be painful, no one would give up the power because of the pain.
After giving out the Snake Heart Pill, Uchiha Yoichi said to them, "In a moment, I will grant you the Sage Curse Seal. Once the Curse Seal markings spread all over your body, take the Snake Heart Pill in your hand and just endure it."
"Understood, Lord Yoichi."
The twenty people said in unison. Some of them were older than Uchiha Yoichi, but since there was no family relationship, calling him "Lord" based on his strength was not inappropriate, especially since he made a name for himself as the Konoha Lightning Fang and severed one of the Third Generation Raikage's arms.
He created twenty Shadow Clones and then bestowed the Sage Curse Seal on these twenty people.
Soon, the Sage Curse Seal with the Three-Tomoe appeared on their chests. Upon accepting the Curse Seal, they almost simultaneously felt a domineering energy from the outside invade their bodies, mixing with their own Chakras.
The markings of the Curse Seal quickly appeared on these twenty people, followed by pain. However, they were all mentally prepared, so not one of them cried out in agony.
