Chapter 31

The moon shone bright, stars were sparse, and bright moonlight showered the earth.

In a deep valley, Yuzhi carried a shovel, spade and other tools on his back, walking slowly forward.

The vegetation here was extremely lush, dense trees blocking the moonlight from falling.

But the dim environment did not affect him; his scarlet eyes continually scanned everything around.

"This damned place is actually quite big."

At this moment, Yuzhi had finished all preparations for digging a grave and had arrived at Autumn Moon Valley.

However, this place was much larger than he had imagined, forcing him to spend more time searching here.

Fortunately, he had already prepared himself mentally, after all, the Uzumaki clan's document did not give a specific location.

All he could do was continually observe with his Sharingan, trying to discern any traces left here as much as possible.

"Good thing I have the Sharingan; otherwise I could only sigh helplessly."

Over a hundred years have passed, and the traces that could remain are truly very few.

If he were to search with only human eyes, Yuzhi could truly choose to give up, for natural changes had already wrought massive changes in everything around.

Moreover, do not forget that the great war decades ago between Madara Uchiha and ZhuZhang Senju had a huge impact on the entire Land of Fire.

Although Autumn Moon Valley is relatively far from Leaf Village, the destruction it suffered did not reach the level that would ultimately form the 'Valley of the End'.

Yet, under such a forceful impact, it is not strange that some changes also appeared here.

So wanting to find anything here remains quite difficult.

And the Sharingan, with its superlative insight, can find some traces left behind here.

"Moreover, my Sharingan is not weak."

Yuzhi's Sharingan strength is still not bad, even though he has only just awakened it not long ago.

Moreover, because he cultivates Shadow Release, the speed of his eye's improvement is not slow either.

Yet he still feels that this speed is far from meeting his requirements.

After all, he intends to become a rebel; without strong power backing him, how could he set his mind at ease?

Furthermore, Uchiha Fugaku possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan, especially this old silver coin has hardly ever displayed what his eye technique is.

Information is extremely crucial; having information allows one to make necessary preparations, thereby making victory easier.

"However, it seems he used a technique similar to Tsukuyomi on his eldest son, to show the future after the Uchiha seize power?"

Yuzhi seems to recall such a scene, but he himself is unsure whether it was an eye technique.

However, he is clear that regardless of what others' powers are, only by possessing corresponding power himself will do!

"Let's see what this round's reward is."

He shook his head, Yuzhi no longer thought further, he tightened his grip on the shovel behind him, and then continued searching in earnest.

Such searching is boring; in the dark forest, only the sound of the breeze rustling the branches, 'shhh', can be heard.

And the birds perched on the branches intermittently emit calls.

Such a tranquil environment seems peaceful, but Yuzhi constantly feels a faint unease.

Although it's not clear why, he has after all endured the trials of a brutal battlefield, and his heart has long become immensely strong.

"Even if this damned place once experienced who knows how many wars, how many people died here."

"but I truly don't believe that without Edo Tensei you could still crawl up and bite me!"

Thinking this to himself, Yuzhi continued to explore the surroundings, his scarlet eyes faintly glowing in the darkness.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, as Yuzhi walked out of this forest, he suddenly froze in place.

Before him lay a vast clearing, bright moonlight pouring from the horizon onto the ground, making the place look especially splendid.

Standing here, just lift your head and you can see that full moon, as if it were right above your head, within reach.

Under the silver moon's glow, Yuzhi's field of view became even broader, and he unexpectedly discovered that there were traces of chakra here!

"Is that... traces of a Seal Technique?"

Seeing this, Yuzhi's heart was full of doubt, yet his face also showed a hint of delight.

He had searched for so long with nothing to show for it; now at last he saw some clues, whether or not they were worth being happy about.

But he was equally doubtful, wondering if this Seal Technique was indeed the target he sought.

What kind of deep hatred would it take to seal someone even after death, never allowing them to appear again?

"A hundred years ago, it seems there was no Edo Tensei either."

Yuzhi couldn't help but complain inwardly, but regardless, having made a discovery, he naturally would not let it slip.

He hurried over, and Yuzhi's eyes began to scan these Seal Techniques.

The Seal Techniques here are very ancient, and this design is something Yuzhi has never seen before.

However, Yuzhi can tell that this Seal Technique has been left here for at least a hundred years!

"Regardless, let's open it first."

To confirm, we must first open it.

Fortunately, this seal before us has weathered much; even so, it could still endure for who knows how many years.

But if we merely find the seal's node and slightly damage it, then this seal will become completely ineffective!

"Fortunately, I previously obtained the Seal Technique as a reward, and I still have my Sharingan."

Thinking this, Yuzhi extended his finger, azure chakra coiling around his fingertip.

His eyes continually scanned the seal before him; shortly, his finger instantly pointed to a position on the seal.

In an instant, the seal began to stall, and then it started to shatter!

The radiance of the shattered seal scattered in all directions; shortly, this light merged into the moonlight and completely vanished before his eyes.

Watching this scene before him, Yuzhi lightly nodded, just as he had thought.

So then what's next?

Dig up graves!

He created a Shadow Clone Jutsu, lifted a shovel and spade, and Yuzhi began to quickly dig up the soil here.

He is now full of vigor; if he digs the right grave, he can complete his mission!

Although he is a figure from a hundred years ago, being defined as the existence of the Uchiha Ultimate Weapon, he is undoubtedly extremely formidable no matter how you look at it.

He might even be someone who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"I don't know what reward this time will be; it won't let me obtain his eyes, will it?"

Yuzhi secretly thought to himself, of course he knew this kind of thing was unlikely.

Moreover, he doesn't need anyone else's eyes; he can enhance his own power through Zhuo Er Extraordinary.

If he obtains this person's pupil power, or his abilities regarding the eyes, that would be enough for Yuzhi!

"Ideally, it would be a portion of Shadow Release's power, which would speed up the growth of my eyes."

Yuzhi murmured to himself, and the speed in his hands began to increase.

As he dug deeper and deeper, he finally unearthed something resembling a coffin.

Moreover, on this coffin he clearly detected traces of a Seal Technique; obviously this is connected to the Seal Technique on the ground.

"Looks like this is the place."

Looking at the coffin before him, Yuzhi suppressed his inner excitement and then reached out to open it.

He actually wanted to see just how terrifying this person was—a peerless beauty from a hundred years ago who forced the Senju Clan to ally with other families to launch a surprise attack.

"Moreover, I also want to see what you have left behind."

Thinking this, Yuzhi flung the coffin open, but the moment the coffin was fully lifted, his whole body froze.

"This... this is"

Yuzhi stared blankly at everything before him, because inside the coffin there were none of the skeletons he had imagined.

What was there was merely a girl wearing traditional Uchiha Clan robes, her eyes tightly closed, looking about the same age as him!

"This... this damn is the Uchiha Clan's Ultimate Weapon?"

At this moment Yuzhi really couldn't hold back; this is completely unlike what he imagined!

However, as he stared at the girl in a daze, the girl suddenly opened her eyes.

That scarlet hue appeared even more eerie under the silver moonlight, and at that moment her gaze turned toward Yuzhi.
