Chapter 301 Temari Arrives at the Immortal Village
After more than a day of releasing his energy, the restlessness in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes completely subsided.
Instead, there is a serene tranquility, almost like that of a "sage," free from desires and wants.
He returned to the ninja world, but didn't know what to do.
Thus, on a whim, Uchiha Mitsunaga appeared in Sunagakure without warning.
He wore a plain-colored robe, his long hair was casually tied behind his back, and he did not emit any chakra fluctuations, yet the passing ninjas subconsciously stopped and even lowered their breathing.
He looked at the earthen houses of Sunagakure, the villagers coming and going, and even the sand sparrows flying overhead, all with a sense of detached indifference, as if nothing in the world could concern him.
"Invincible...after that...only loneliness remains."
Uchiha Mitsunori muttered to himself, his eyes flickering as he locked onto Temari's location.
He swayed and in the next second he was standing outside a courtyard planted with sea buckthorn. From inside the courtyard came the clear voice of a girl, mixed with the "whoosh" sound of a fan being waved.
When the door was opened, Temari was seen holding her signature iron fan, practicing Wind Release techniques on a wooden stake.
She was wearing a Sunagakure ninja uniform, her blonde hair tied back with a hairband, and a few stray strands of hair stuck to her forehead, swaying gently with her movements.
The 15-year-old girl has grown up; her height of 1.63 meters gives her an upright posture, and her waist is slender yet not frail.
Her arms were slender and graceful. When she waved her iron fan, the sand and gravel whipped up by the wind struck the wooden stakes, leaving fine dents.
Hearing the door open, Temari turned around abruptly, her iron fan still suspended in mid-air.
When she saw that the person who came was Uchiha Mitsunori, her pupils suddenly contracted, and the iron fan in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter". She was stunned.
She had seen Uchiha Mitsunori; at that time, the oppressive aura emanating from him suffocated the entire Sunagakure village.
Looking at him up close now, he seems calmer than I remember, but also more unapproachable.
"You...how did you get here?"
Temari realized what was happening and quickly picked up the iron fan. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she even stuttered a little when she spoke.
She had already accepted her status as his fiancée, but the sudden meeting left her somewhat at a loss.
Uchiha Mitsunori walked up to her, his gaze sweeping over the wooden dummy she had just practiced on, and said calmly, "Temari, as my fiancée, your strength is increasing too slowly. I'm going to take you to Sage Village so you can train properly for a while."
"Immortal Village?"
Temari froze, then her eyes widened in surprise: "What kind of place is that? Is it like the legendary place where immortals live? But... I still have a mission to carry out in Sunagakure."
She swallowed the words back... She didn't even dare to think of refusing Uchiha Mitsumine.
Moreover, the name "Fairy Village" itself was incredibly enticing, making her unable to resist her curiosity.
Uchiha Mitsunori's gaze fell on her reddened earlobes, noticing her hesitation and curiosity: "Sage Village is a special place; many ninjas train there, so the living facilities are complete. You can ask your parents for their opinion!"
Temari nodded hurriedly, gripping her iron fan tightly: "I... I'll go right now!"
After saying that, she was about to run out, but stopped after taking two steps and asked, "Then... will cultivation in the Immortal Village be very difficult? Also, what should I bring? Are the people there fierce?"
Looking at her nervous yet expectant expression, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes showed a rare hint of warmth: "It will be tough, but it will help you break through your bottleneck in a short time. Don't bring too much stuff; there are shops and clinics in the village where you can buy everything you need."
Temari grunted in agreement, then turned and ran quickly out of the courtyard.
She ran towards Fengying Tower, ignoring acquaintances who greeted her along the way, until she burst into Luo Sha's office.
She cried out breathlessly, "Father! Mother... Uchiha Mitsunori is here! He thinks I'm too weak and wants to take me to Sage Village to train!"
Rasa was discussing the distribution of Sunagakure's supplies with Karura when he heard this, and the pen in his hand fell to the paper with a "thud".
Gallo also stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.
"What did you say? Uchiha Mitsunaga is going to take you to Sage Village?"
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, quickly stood up, his tone filled with awe and worry: "Sage Village... Is that place safe? Didn't he say what he was going to teach you?"
"He said there were shops in the Immortal Village and that he could help me break through my strength bottleneck. He didn't say what he would teach me specifically, but it sounded very impressive."
Temari, panting, repeated the conversation they had just had, her eyes full of anticipation.
Luo Sha and Jia Lu Luo exchanged a glance, both seeing complexity in each other's eyes.
They were worried that their daughter would suffer in the unfamiliar Sage Village, yet they dared not go against the wishes of Uchiha Sanfeng.
Moreover, being able to enter the Sage Village for training is an incredible opportunity for both Temari and Sunagakure.
Karura stepped forward and gently stroked Temari's hair, her tone tender yet tinged with reluctance: "Then go ahead, remember to take good care of yourself, and if you need anything, just tell that man, don't make yourself suffer."
Rasa nodded and said in a deep voice, "Pack some commonly used things, don't keep the Uchiha Sanfeng waiting too long."
Temari responded, turned and ran back to her room, quickly packed a few changes of clothes and her usual wound medicine, and carefully wiped the iron fan clean before hurrying back to the courtyard.
Uchiha Mitsunaga remained standing in the same spot, looking at the sea buckthorn in the courtyard, as if deep in thought.
"I'm ready!"
Temari ran up to him, looked up at him, and carried a small cloth bag in her hand.
Uchiha Mitsunori waved his hand, opening a spatial portal: "Look, the Sage Village is right inside, don't be afraid."
Temari hesitated for a moment, then gently took his hand.
His large, warm hands gave her a sense of security.
The next second, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted, and the earthen houses and sea buckthorn trees of Sunagakure disappeared instantly, replaced by a vast village surrounded by clouds and mist.
In the distance are scattered wooden houses, their roofs covered with lush green moss. At the entrance of the village hangs a wooden plaque with the three large characters "Fairy Village" engraved on it.
Ninjas dressed in various colors walked by on the road. Some were discussing ninjutsu, some were carrying things they had just bought from the store, and there were even children chasing and playing under the trees. The air was filled with a rich, yet gentle, natural energy, which was completely different from the dry heat of Sunagakure.
Temari gasped in surprise, nearly dropping the cloth bag in her hand.
She looked around, her voice filled with disbelief: "This...this is the Immortal Village? It's much more lively than I imagined!"
Uchiha Mitsunori released his grip and pointed deep into the village: "Yes, this is the 'Sage Village' I told you about before. The house with the yard in front is the place I prepared for you; all your daily necessities are ready."
He paused, his gaze falling on Temari's curious face, and added, "By the way, the time flow in Sage Village is different from the outside world. One year in the ninja world is five years in the village. You stay here for three years, which is only eight months in the outside world. By the time you come out, your strength will have transformed."
Temari's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost dropped the iron fan in her hand again: "Eight months have passed outside, but more than three years have passed here?"
Uchiha Mitsunori chuckled softly, raising his hand to gently brush a fallen leaf from her shoulder, his tone even gentler than before: "Not only that, I'm going to teach you the Celestial Mode."
Seeing Temari tilt her head in confusion, he patiently explained, "The Celestial Mode requires absorbing natural energy for cultivation. Once mastered, it not only greatly enhances one's strength but also nourishes the body. For example, Princess Mikoto and others who mastered it have increasingly delicate skin, are less prone to aging, and have extended their lifespan by decades or even centuries. It's an extra bonus from cultivation."
Temari's eyes lit up instantly, and her previous tension completely disappeared.
Her voice was full of anticipation: "It can beautify your skin and extend your lifespan? Then...when can I start learning? I'll definitely study hard!"
"This can't be rushed, and you don't need to be anxious. Take your time; you have plenty of time!"
Uchiha Mitsunori led her towards their lodgings. Along the way, some Uchiha clan members greeted them, and he smiled and nodded in response.
"First, get used to the natural energy here. Tomorrow I will teach you the basic breathing techniques. The natural energy is dozens of times more concentrated than in the ninja world. It's easy to lose control when you first absorb it, so you have to proceed gradually."
Temari followed behind him, looking at the lively yet peaceful scene around her, feeling the gentle natural energy in the air, gripping the iron fan in her hand tightly, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.
Although the three years of cultivation were arduous, it was all worth it as long as I could learn the Celestial Mode, become stronger and more beautiful, and become his queen.
Her voice was extremely low, as if she were afraid of being overheard, as she softly asked, "Then, once I learn Celestial Mode, will I be as powerful as you?"
Upon hearing this, a faint smile seemed to linger in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes.
He smiled slightly and replied softly, "As long as you are willing to put in enough effort, you may be able to catch up with me someday."
Temari's face lit up with excitement, and she eagerly asked, "Really?"
"Haha, of course I was just kidding!"
Temari was caught off guard by the teasing laughter of Uchiha Mitsunori.
Her smile froze instantly, and she muttered with some annoyance, "Ugh, why did you have to tell the truth? Can't you just let me be happy for a moment?"
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori's smile faded: "Learning Celestial Mode allows you to control natural energy. By mixing natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy in a 1:1:1 ratio, you can fuse them into Sage Chakra, thus unleashing powerful Sage Techniques. At that point, I doubt anyone in your Sunagakure will be your match!"
Temari's eyes lit up instantly: "Are you telling the truth this time?"
Uchiha Mitsunori laughed heartily, "Of course it's true! The power of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu used when employing Sage Chakra will be increased several times..."
