"I'm fine, Ms. Kazuki... By the way, did anyone come by just now?"
"No, I was cleaning at the front door just now, and no one visited."
"Well... thank you for your hard work, take a break after cleaning."
After Uchiha Mikota finished speaking, she felt a slight relief in her heart. It was indeed a dream, otherwise why would she suddenly be back in the study, fully dressed, while she was clearly in the bedroom?
"So it was a dream..."
Her tone carried some inexplicable emotion, a mix of relief and a bit of unknown loss.
However, Mikota thought about that sentence in the dream. Since she had such a vivid and bizarre dream, could it really be caused by day and night contemplation?
Although she had been thinking about the matter in the hospital, was today's dream really what she wanted deep inside?
————————————
"I wake up immediately when the time's up, and my memories and feelings are really transferred back to my physical body, and only two hours have passed..."
After waking up, Uchiha Yoichi checked the time, exactly two hours had passed since he took the sleeping pills and fell asleep.
He clearly remembered the Reanimation Jutsu, and the enhancement in the Flying Thunder God Jutsu was also palpable; after forty-eight hours of continuous training, his control over the Flying Thunder God Jutsu had significantly improved.
If he focused on training using [Dream Master], he could manage even with ten Shadow Clones, and maintain it for a long time, then sleeping for two hours would be equivalent to two hundred days of training for Uchiha Yoichi.
After three rounds, it's nearly two years of training experience, such a good thing....
Also, just now with Madam Mikota, in the Dream Space, he directly surpassed Madam Mikota's bottom line by three levels, and finally, he even made her look at her wedding photo in the bedroom together....
"Powerful abilities!"
Uchiha Yoichi immediately gave a perfect evaluation for the first use of [Dream Master], although the time was a bit short, he left the Dream Space only because time was up.
Then he took the sleeping pills again, swallowed two, and fell asleep once more.
Quickly, Uchiha Yoichi had a sweet sleep, this time without dreams.
Upon waking, Uchiha Yoichi noticed the time consumed during sleep, suddenly muttering with a twitch of his lips: "Useless, no wonder it's a partial ability, it actually has a limit on the number of uses!"
This ability should also be used once a day, on the second sleep just now he merely slept, closing his eyes and then opening them directly.
But thinking about it, if there were no limits, Uchiha Yoichi could lie in bed for a month, training seven hundred days in the Dream.
After sleeping all afternoon, when he woke up, it was almost evening.
Uchiha Yoichi got up to eat something, and then moved around a bit.
Afterward, he planned to make more Flying Thunder God Kunai.
"Make enough for burying Flying Thunder God Kunai across the Land of Fire, placing some outside as transfer points, then I can travel anywhere in the Land of Fire at will."
The Combat Suit Research Factory, Medicine Factory, and Ninja Game Development Company are definitely needed, and other places should conservatively have some Flying Thunder God Kunai buried.
Uchiha Yoichi's Flying Thunder God Mark is Three-Tomoe, just like the tomoe of the Sharingan, making Flying Thunder God Kunai is very easy.
He quickly made some.
The next day.
Uchiha Yoichi seeing there shouldn't be much in the morning, initially planned to use the Dream Space once in the morning, but after thinking he decided to use it at night.
By then Uzumaki Minami should also be resting; he could bring her into the Dream Space to help improve the control curse seal of the Reanimation Jutsu.
As long as improvement enhances control power and reduces the energy needed for controlling the Reanimation Body, then Uchiha Yoichi will immediately research strengthening the power of sacrifices, allowing the Reanimation Body's strength to infinitely approach their lifetime power.
Like this, just by collecting some Jonin corpses during war, his business will have many completely obedient, fearless Jonin-level warriors as escort.
Afterward, Uchiha Yoichi wanted to train, when Orochimaru suddenly visited; he heard Uchiha Yoichi was discharged two days ago and invited him to tour the laboratory.
It was about the simplified version of Sage Mode, which Orochimaru has already created some.
With the precise equipment provided by Uchiha Yoichi, and samples from the clan that absorb Natural Energy, plus Orochimaru's own insights when practicing Immortal Techniques.
He could invent a simplified Sage Mode in such a short time.
"Mr. Yoichi, actually the ability to create a curse seal so quickly still came from a stroke of luck, though it is not a perfect Sage Mode, this degraded Sage Mode resembles the clan's constitution, but can be controlled, thus avoiding madness.... As for the others, it does resemble that clan."
Orochimaru said with a smile, as for the resemblance, it should be referring to the change in appearance.
If absorbing too much Natural Energy and unable to control it, various changes occur, Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode may not turn to stone, but humans will go mad.
Soon, two of them walked into the laboratory.
This is considered very remote in Konoha, it is located on the other side of the Forest of Death, Orochimaru also rears several snakes over ten meters long at the cave entrance, hiding the underground laboratory's entrance in the Snake Cave, making it undetectable to others.
Upon entering, the ventilation is quite good, and the underground space is also spacious.
Once inside, Uchiha Yoichi spotted Orochimaru's pupil, now showing signs of training, seems Orochimaru hasn't completely treated him as a test subject.
"Look, Mr. Yoichi, these are the test subjects; regarding the newly developed Sage Curse Seal, I can still control it...."
Orochimaru said, forming a seal with one hand, causing the experimental subject from the Shimura Race within the cage to painfully lie on the ground, subsequently strange markings appeared on his body surface.
Uchiha Yoichi now activated the Three-Tomoe, carefully observing the chakra changes in these experimental subjects.
When the bizarre patterns spread all over their bodies, their skin changed color, then the exterior appearance altered, arms thickened, horns sprouted on heads, and swellings like tumors emerged on their backs.
"This transformation is indeed eye-catching...."
Uchiha Yoichi remarked, although the strength increased considerably, that man's chakra was average, but upon entering the second state, his chakra enhanced threefold.
Possibly due to the experimental subject's inherently low chakra, resulting in such a dramatic increase.
But for others, there should be a substantial enhancement too.
"For individuals with ordinary aptitude, engaging in the second state of Sage Curse Seal, the duration should not exceed five minutes, otherwise even the Sage Curse Seal might fail to control the natural energy corrosion, ultimately leading to death... Haha, this inspiration came from the White Snake Sage."
Who likes to bite people to aid them in practicing Sage Mode.
Orochimaru tossed a scroll, detailing the methods of practicing the Sage Curse Seal.
"This Sage Curse Seal doesn't meet my desired effect, but it's good for nurturing subordinates, Mr. Yoichi, I need to continue studying, these are what I need."
Orochimaru desires a closer to perfect Sage Mode, the Sage Curse Seal's ability to absorb natural energy and operate still falls short of the genuine version, and the produced Sage Art Chakra also lacks.
Everything relies on the Sage Curse Seal to regulate natural energy.
Apart from the practice scroll for Sage Curse Seal, Orochimaru also provided another scroll, containing what he needed, besides experimental materials, and he noticed two Hidden Cloud Village secret techniques last time.
Uchiha Yoichi looked and agreed instantly: "No problem, these will be delivered soon, as for the test subjects.... I'll purchase them outside the village; by then, Orochimaru can bring them in himself."
"Of course, then I'll wait for your notice, Mr. Yoichi."
