Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 112 Reanimation Jutsu

The morning sunlight shone into the room, and Uchiha Touyu slowly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, moved his fair arm off the bed, and gently stretched his muscles.

Sensing the changes in his body, he frowned slightly and sighed softly.

At that moment, a pair of snow-white arms wrapped around his waist. Yekura, who had been awakened by Uchiha Touyu, pressed her entire body against his back and whispered in his ear:

"What's wrong? Feiyu, you seem a little worried?"

"The effects of dual cultivation have weakened considerably in the past few days, and my progress in strength has slowed down quite a bit."

Uchiha Touka leaned against Yekura behind him and spoke softly. Yekura, pressed down by Uchiha Touka, blushed slightly and trembled a few times.

"Has the effect of dual cultivation decreased? Then let's find more cauldrons. As long as we have enough cauldrons, we can make up for the loss of the effect of dual cultivation, right?"

"I can use the name of the Kazekage to gather female ninjas for you, Feiyu, to choose from. Moreover, once you, Feiyu, control those cauldrons, you will be able to further strengthen your control over the Sand Village."

"What do you think of Jialuo? Although she already has a child, her talent is no less than mine. She is already the most outstanding vessel besides me."

"Furthermore, after awakening Magnet Release, Garu has now become a Kage-level ninja. Once you control her, the entire Sand Village will be under your control, Touya."

At this moment, only a dozen days had passed since Uchiha Hiyu and Pakura first engaged in dual cultivation.

However, the once selfless Fifth Kazekage has been completely tamed by Uchiha Touya, and has sold out his village's female ninja without hesitation, trying his best to please Uchiha Touya.

Even though she knew perfectly well that her current state was not normal, and that Uchiha Touka was actually controlling her through the Joyful Union Manual, she didn't care at all, and was even willing to control more female ninjas for Uchiha Touka.

This also made Uchiha Touyu clearly realize just how evil the demonic inheritance he controlled really was. Fortunately, he wasn't a good person himself, so he didn't have much of a psychological burden.

Gently patting Yekura behind him, Uchiha Touma spoke softly:

"Alright, then I'll leave these matters to you. But I'd rather have fewer but better candidates. They must at least have the potential to become Jonin to truly qualify as my furnace."

"Don't worry, Feiyu, I'll arrange everything perfectly for you!"

Yekura rubbed her chest against Uchiha Touyu's back a few times while casually agreeing. As the Kazekage of Sunagakure, and with the advantage of being a woman herself, it was indeed a very easy thing for her to help Uchiha Touyu choose a cauldron.

After reminiscing with Yekura, Uchiha Touyu put on his mask and walked out the door. He needed to do some work to help Sunagakure recover as quickly as possible.

That is, just find any piece of land with underground water, and then use the Wood Release technique to plant trees and create forests, turning the desert into grassland and conserving water and soil.

However, even with Wood Release, planting trees is not such a simple matter. For example, many of the plants that Uchiha Hiu initially created near Sunagakure have now withered.

Plants are created to grow with water. If there is no underground water source nearby and no one irrigates them, most plants will wither slowly within a few days, and only some very drought-resistant plants will survive.

Therefore, Uchiha Tou didn't initially need to plant trees all over the Land of Wind. Instead, he expanded the oasis area of ​​the Land of Wind to reduce the threat of sandstorms.

Meanwhile, the Sand Ninja are also searching for underground water sources, so that Uchiha Hiu can use Wood Release to extend plant roots deep into them and create some new oases.

In a short period of time, the workload was actually not heavy at all. The afforestation in the past few days has already turned most of the oases and areas where underground water sources have been detected into forests and grasslands.

The next task is to use Wood Release to slowly maintain these grasslands and forests, while exploring the course of underground rivers and artificially developing oases.

In fact, in just a few days of work, the area of ​​the oasis controlled by Sunagakure has expanded seven or eight times. Oases in the desert can be said to be the most precious treasures. Expanding the oasis seven or eight times is enough to greatly increase Sunagakure's finances, population and other aspects.

According to Yekura's original estimate, it would take at least ten years for the Sand Village to recover its strength, even with the support of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. If the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was unwilling to support it, the Sand Village would not be able to recover its strength, and it would be the best it could do to avoid declining.

With the help of Uchiha Hiu's Wood Release, even without funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, the Sand Village was able to recover its strength within five years and even break through its original development limit, truly gaining the confidence of a top-tier ninja village.

Originally, Sunagakure was truly at the bottom among the five great ninja villages. At least Kirigakure declined because of its own actions, but Sunagakure simply lacked the foundation to keep up with the development of the other ninja villages.

Ultimately, the biggest problem is insufficient funding and a lack of ninjas. Without a sufficient number of grassroots ninjas, even if an elite policy is implemented, the possibility of producing top-tier ninjas will be greatly reduced, resulting in a vicious cycle.

Uchiha Hiu's act of planting trees was equivalent to fundamentally reversing the disadvantage of the Sand Village, so it's no wonder that these people were so excited.

Having finished his work for the day and left behind the grateful ninjas and oasis residents, Uchiha Touya, wearing a mask, returned to Sunagakure. Instead of going to find Pakura, he went to an underground base.

Just like Konoha, Sunagakure also has its own underground base, where it also conducts human experiments. Human experimentation is not unique to Konoha's Root, but rather a specialty of the entire ninja world. While the five great ninja villages outwardly condemn it, they secretly indulge in it to the fullest.

Although Sunagakure was poor, it was not to be outdone in this regard. Otherwise, how could Sasori of the Red Sand have transformed the Third Kazekage into a human puppet without any foundation? And how could he have made himself into a human puppet?

"However... the research level here needs improvement!"

After glancing at the secret base of the Sand Village, Uchiha Touya gave a nonchalant assessment, clearly not very optimistic about the Sand Village's research.

After all, he had spent a considerable amount of time in the Root of Konoha and had studied under Orochimaru, an expert in human experimentation. He had seen it all, even if he hadn't eaten pork, and he could tell at a glance that the Sand Village was far behind Konoha in terms of both equipment and technology.

Fortunately, although the equipment here is a bit old, the infrastructure is complete. At least they can still cultivate and proliferate the Hashirama cells that Uchiha Hiyu brought from Konoha.

Of course, the Sand Village could only cultivate Hashirama's cells for transplantation, so there was no chance of that happening.

Looking at the Hashirama cell that resembled a giant lump of flesh, Uchiha Hiyu gently sliced ​​off a small piece of flesh from it before continuing to walk inside.

Further inside was the place where people were killed and imprisoned for human experimentation. Uchiha Hiyu took out Yekura's warrant and directly pulled out a ninja test subject from inside.

The imprisoned experimental subject was disheveled, his chakra had long been sealed, and his mouth was gagged, which conveniently made things easier for Uchiha Touyu.

He took out the Hashirama cell from his hand and pressed it onto the ground, instantly forming a sealing array. Then, Uchiha Touyu grabbed the human experimental subject and threw him into the sealing array, rapidly forming hand seals:

"Ninja Art - Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

A large amount of shredded paper appeared out of thin air and covered the human body material. The human body material trembled all over, hummed twice, and was eventually completely wrapped up. After a moment, the entire human body material had changed its appearance.

With long black hair and red armor, the ninja who appeared before me was bold and imposing, his entire body covered with cracks unique to the reanimated form of Edo Tensei. It was none other than the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Opening his black eyes, Hashirama Senju looked around with a slightly confused expression. Uchiha Touya didn't waste any words, took out the talisman he had prepared beforehand, and put it directly into his brain.

"It's finally a success... Although the reanimated Hashirama isn't very strong, probably not even at the Kage level, as long as he can use Wood Release ninjutsu, that's good enough."

This was Uchiha Touyu's fifth experiment with the Impure World Reincarnation technique. As an S-rank forbidden technique, even with Uchiha Touyu's foundation, he couldn't learn it in one go.

However, after several previous studies, Uchiha Touya had finally mastered this ninjutsu. No matter how strong the First Hokage he resurrected was, at least this resurrection was a success.

Feeling the process of his soul arriving in reality from the Pure Land, Uchiha Tou narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a burst of inspiration in his mind.

If it were possible to intercept souls directly during the Impure World Reincarnation process, wouldn't I be able to simply collect those souls?

The power of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, namely the Binding of Spirits, depends entirely on the souls one controls. If one could completely combine the Impure World Reincarnation and the Binding of Spirits, then Uchiha Touyu would be able to control a large number of powerful souls simply by digging up graves.

Putting everything else aside, Uchiha Touya has been coveting the soul of the Second Hokage. His forbidden techniques and Flying Thunder God ninjutsu are extremely valuable to Uchiha Touya now.

On the contrary, Uchiha Touyu didn't care much about the soul of the First Hokage. As long as he kept sacrificing Hashirama's cells to the Blood Pool and then absorbing them through the Soul Devouring and Blood Refining Technique, one day Uchiha Touyu would be able to awaken a complete Sage Body.

Although Hashirama Senju appears carefree and is similar to Naruto, he was actually quite talented in ninjutsu. In addition to the Wood Release ninjutsu that he developed entirely, he also developed some practical ninjutsu such as the Genjutsu Dark Travel Technique.

However, compared to his younger brother Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju's ninjutsu talent seemed unremarkable. For one thing, the entire Book of Seals of Konoha could almost be called a complete encyclopedia of Tobirama Senju's ninjutsu research, with at least 80% of its content contributed by this Second Hokage.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, in particular, was a ninjutsu that Uchiha Touya, who was afraid of death, was determined to obtain. If it weren't for the fact that ninjas who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique were so difficult to kill, Uchiha Touya might have gone to assassinate Namikaze Minato and forcibly plunder his soul.

After placing the manipulated First Hokage into a coffin, Uchiha Touyu planned to hand over control of the Hokage to Pakura, and he wouldn't have to fight anymore. From now on, the landscaping of the Land of Wind would all be handled by this reanimated First Hokage.

"The next thing to do is to move the blood pool from the Land of Fire to the Sand Village... This can be left entirely to the Sand Village ninjas. Anyway, the materials from the blood pool are worthless to others, so there's no need to worry about it being stolen by anyone."

"The rest... is just a matter of watching how the Fourth Shinobi World War unfolds."

……

In the Kazekage's office, Uchiha Touka handed the talisman that controlled the First Hokage to Pakura and left a summoning talisman array on his body before putting him back into the coffin.

"With this resurrected First Hokage, Touya, you won't need to be so busy anymore."

Yekura's face showed a hint of joy as she leaned against Uchiha Touyu, her eyes filled with a gentle light.

Even if the First Hokage was weakened, he could still exert strength close to that of a Kage thanks to his immortality through the Impure World Reincarnation and his Wood Release ninjutsu. Pakura was naturally quite happy to have gained control of the Impure World Reincarnation body.

It wasn't just because of the First Hokage's role in the Sand Village, but also because she sensed Uchiha Touyu's high regard for her. Of course, Uchiha Touyu was mostly just annoyed by the trouble, which is why she handed over the First Hokage's Edo Tensei body.

"By the way, Feiyu, didn't I tell you this morning that I'd prepare some cauldrons for you? Now that I've taken care of Jialuoluo, how about we try it out tonight?"

Uchiha Touyu paused slightly, recalling the rather resolute widow, and asked:

"I don't think that Garura is a woman who's easily compromised. Besides, she's currently a Kage-level ninja and the widow of the Fourth Kazekage. Her identity is sensitive and attracts attention. How did you manage to win her over?"

Ye Cang chuckled softly and said:

"Sister Galio is indeed very tenacious, but she has one major weakness: don't forget that she is now a mother!"

"For the sake of adorable Temari, Karura-neechan has no choice but to sacrifice herself."

"Threatening her through her daughter? Did she really give in so easily?"

"I told Sister Galiluo that it was a secret technique that could make me stronger, and then I showed her how much I had improved, telling her that it was all because of this secret technique, and that it wouldn't take too long, just a few times. She eventually accepted it."

"However... I think once we start dual cultivation, Sister Jialuo will know what it means to be addicted to something new. At that point, Feiyu, you probably won't be able to get rid of her even if you try."
