Time flies, and the years fly by.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

The second generation came to the training room as usual to check on Sasuke's condition.

Counting the time, four years have passed.

It was four years ago today that the Second Hokage injected Sasuke with Hashirama's cells and used inhibitors to help him fuse that dangerous thing.

Although they had made preparations that took a considerable amount of time, when it actually took four years, even the second generation couldn't help but doubt their decision.

"Master Nidaime." Sakura had been guarding here all the time. When she saw Tobirama coming in, she greeted him respectfully.

"What's the situation?" asked the second generation.

Sakura: "It's still the same as before, no response, no communication."

It's not just an immune response, it's also the body's protective mechanism being triggered.

Sasuke has been unable to move or communicate, but through brain wave testing, the second generation and Sakura know that Sasuke is awake.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy long ago.

But Sasuke's brain waves have always been normal.

Being trapped in a container for four years and unable to move, apart from the fact that Sakura was always by his side and talking, that kind of perseverance cannot be underestimated.

At the same time, this is also the reason why the second generation has always been confident in his plans.

After taking a look at the observation report made by Sakura, the second generation prepared to leave.

The current external situation is not optimistic.

The sacred tree is growing more and more luxuriant, and it will probably bloom and bear fruit soon.

The second generation must put a contingency plan on the agenda in case of emergency.

He took one last look at Sasuke and was about to leave, but at this moment.

Sasuke, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his remaining right eye and stared at the second generation.

The kaleidoscope was deeper and more oppressive than the one four years ago.

Sakura also saw this scene, and she shouted excitedly: "Second-generation master!"

Inside the container, Sasuke tried to move his fingers.

The noise caused by Sasuke's tiny movement was indeed scary.

The specially made glass container cracked instantly and then exploded.

The cell transplant fluid in the container burst out like a flood.

Without the support of liquid, Sasuke's body sank.

puff.

He was half kneeling on the ground.

"Sasuke, how are you?" Sakura hurried forward to support him.

"Oh, I'm fine."

Sasuke slowly stood up. His body was flawless and his muscles were clearly defined. Although his muscles were not very swollen, the power contained in them was indeed terrifying.

Maybe Sakura didn't notice.

But the second generation, as a perceptive ninja, knew that the Sasuke in front of him had been reborn.

Be it his physique or his chakra, he is already very close to Madara and his older brother.

The second generation was excited in his heart, but his face remained as cold as ever.

He walked up to Sasuke and said, "Uchiha brat, I thought I had the wrong person."

"Who do you think I am? If Uzumaki Naruto can do it, I can do it too." Sasuke glanced at them with a proud look and a matter-of-fact tone. "I heard your conversation. Time is running out. Tell me, what is the next training content? Or, there is no need for training. I think I can go and take off the head of that man named Jigen right now."

The second generation's eyes condensed. After gaining power, this guy was a little arrogant: "You are becoming more and more like your ancestors, but I want to remind you, that is, don't think too highly of yourself. The world today has changed. If you underestimate the world, you will probably die miserably. Forget it, there is no point in talking more, it is better to let you see it directly."

"I couldn't ask for more." Sasuke said confidently.

……

call out!

Two figures appeared in the void.

It was Tobirama who brought Sasuke to a certain area.

There are lush vegetation, birds flying and cicadas chirping, and there are flowing water and high mountains in the distance.

It's like a tourist destination.

"What is this place?" Sasuke asked.

The second generation crossed his arms over his chest: "The Land of Wind, Sand Village."

"what?"

Sasuke had never been here, but he knew that this was the Land of Wind, a barren place. The Sand Village got its name because of the sand and wind everywhere. The picturesque landscape in front of him had nothing to do with the Sand Village, right?

"I've already told you that the world is no longer what you know it to be, and that's where all this change comes from."

The second generation pointed to a big tree at the end of the horizon.

Although it was a little blurry, Sasuke could still make out that it was a large tree.

Giant trees.

It's not just a description, but the real "towering" one.

The tree's crown covers the sky, and the tree's trunk is so thick that it is hard to describe. It is probably not an exaggeration to call it a pillar of the sky.

The second generation continued, "That is the sacred tree. Its trunk is rooted in the Whirlpool Country, and its roots extend to various major countries. The power it possesses is unimaginable. The desert has become an oasis, and the fertile land has become even more fertile. The original output of one acre of land has increased tenfold. Now, no matter where people are, they will no longer go hungry."

"Then, what is the price?" Sasuke knew that all gifts were secretly marked with a price, just like when the Uchiha clan was exterminated and he was the only child left alive, that was the price Itachi paid for him.

"Human lives." The second generation just said calmly, "People only know that the tree has brought them benefits and wealth, but they don't know that the sacred tree is just raising pigs. Sooner or later, the sacred tree will show its fangs."

The second generation has never stopped over the years. In addition to some research, he is always collecting intelligence.

The sacred tree is naturally the top priority.

To be honest, the sacred tree needs to thank someone for its current growth.

But more of it is fed with human lives.

From the beginning, each country donated one thousand people every month to the current three thousand people every month. The sacred tree needs more and more lives.

In the past, people of various countries did not care much about the lives offered as sacrifices, because the tree-worshipping cult specifically targeted the elderly, the seriously ill, and criminals.

Any country can find these thousand people by just gathering together.

But so many people are needed in a month, and it will be no problem in a year or two. But as time goes by, where can we find so many criminals and the elderly and the weak?

But the sacrifices cannot stop, because it is so wonderful to have good weather and no diseases.

Ordinary people don’t want to lose such days, and the powerful don’t want to lose them even more.

Gradually, people found that the country's laws were becoming increasingly strict, and even spitting on the ground would be considered a crime and then offered as a sacrifice to the sacred tree.

I don’t know how many innocent people lost their lives.

After two or three years, people began to feel a little frightened. They found that the great sacred tree no longer seemed so sacred, because they didn't know when the butcher's knife would fall on their heads.

But no one cares what they think.

Because those who were sacrificed could not be nobles or powerful people, but only ordinary people.

"No one stands up to resist?" Sasuke asked.

The second generation chuckled, "Some smart people have already seen the clues, but it's too late. The power of the sacred tree is growing day by day, and the power of those sacred tree messengers alone is enough to suppress hundreds of thousands of people. To put it bluntly, that is the great trend of the tree worship. They no longer have to worry about the opinions of ordinary people like before. According to my guess, it won't be long before the sacred tree will completely reveal its true face, and by then, the whole world will be its food."
