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

Chapter 163 Two-Tailed Yukito

Uchiha Touyu didn't care much about the fate of the ninjas of the Land of Grass. With the strength of Wuwei and a few high-ranking members of the Grass Village, rebuilding the village wouldn't be too difficult if they really wanted to.

However, with the implementation of the universal chakra policy, the disadvantages of a small country like the Land of Grass have become more and more obvious. In the future, even if they want to be a fence-sitter, they probably won't have much of a chance.

In particular, Uchiha Hiyu took away the Hunyuan Treasure Box. Without such a treasure, the quality of the ninjas from the Land of Grass would obviously drop significantly, and they would basically lose their competitiveness.

In addition, given the effort and time required to rebuild the Grass Ninja Village, Wuwei and the others probably won't waste their time on this futile endeavor.

The war between Konoha and Iwagakure has come to an end, but in the Land of Frost, the war between Kumogakure and Konoha is about to break out.

Fortunately, Uchiha Touyu possessed space-time ninjutsu, and in just over ten minutes, he arrived at the battlefield of the Land of Frost through rapid space-time jumps.

On the battlefield of the Land of Grass, Konoha's commander was Uchiha Fugaku, and the main force consisted of the Uchiha clan. On the battlefield of the Land of Frost, Konoha's commander was ostensibly a Hyuga ninja from the main branch of the Hyuga clan. However, this Hyuga main branch ninja actually had little war experience. The one who truly made the decisions was Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi and the adjutant of the troops.

Meanwhile, among the thousands of Konoha ninjas here, at least a third are Hyuga ninjas—and that's only because the Byakugan is mostly used for support, which is why so few ninjas came.

The Hyuga clan had far more ninjas than the Uchiha clan, nearly a thousand in number. While the Uchiha clan still had some civilians, the Hyuga were truly a nation of soldiers.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan members are no different from normal people before they awaken their Byakugan, but the Hyuga clan members are born with the Byakugan, and they have almost no other way out except to become ninjas.

Furthermore, all members of the Hyuga clan can awaken the Byakugan upon reaching adulthood, and their strength is at least at the Chunin level, so they will never fall to the bottom. In addition, Byakugan ninjas have the highest survival rate on the battlefield, so the number of Hyuga clan members is much larger than that of Uchiha clan members.

It can be said that if the Hyuga clan really got serious, they could replace the entire ninja force currently dispatched by Konoha with members of the Hyuga clan without much problem.

However, while the Byakugan is excellent for both one-on-one combat and support, it falls short in group battles. On the battlefield, a turret-type ninja is more effective at unleashing its full power.

This is precisely why this ninja unit only has one-third Hyuga ninjas; having one Hyuga ninja among every three ninjas is already the best possible combination.

Thanks to their superior vision and perception, the movements of the Cloud Ninja were almost transparent to Konoha. Even though the Cloud Ninja had sent two Jinchuriki this time, they were unable to gain any advantage.

In terms of strength alone, a Hyuga ninja of the same level is definitely much weaker than an Uchiha of the same level. Even without considering the Mangekyou Sharingan, the highest evolutionary form, the Uchiha with only three tomoe is already the strongest in the Hyuga clan.

However, the reason why the Hyuga clan can be on par with the Uchiha clan, besides the fact that the Byakugan is easy to awaken, is mainly because the Byakugan has such high detection and survival capabilities!

On the battlefield, unless you are a powerful Kage-level ninja, what determines whether a ninja lives or dies is never just his strength, but more so whether he will encounter a ninja stronger than himself.

The greatest ability of Byakugan ninjas is to ensure that the ninjas they encounter are not far stronger than themselves, naturally giving them a much higher survival rate than ordinary people.

Therefore, the powerful ninjas of Kumogakure were frustrated to find that the Konoha ninjas were as slippery as eels, always disappearing without a trace from a great distance, while the ninjas of average strength were besieged by Konoha ninjas every time they left the camp, suffering heavy losses after several times.

After touring the Konoha camp, Uchiha Touyu already knew the current situation of the battle. In just a few days of small-team intelligence warfare, Konoha had lost less than a dozen ninjas, while Kumogakure estimated that hundreds of ninjas had either died or been maimed.

Judging from the battle reports alone, Konoha undoubtedly had the upper hand, and the Cloud Ninja had almost no chance to fight back. However, this was based on the Byakugan's powerful reconnaissance ability, which was a result of the strong bullying the weak.

It can be said that all the Cloud Ninja who died were the weakest Genin-level ninjas among the Cloud Ninjas. The number of Chunin was probably less than ten, and there were not a single Jonin or Jonin.

So although the situation seems very favorable, it's hard to say whether Konoha can maintain its advantage when the weaker ninjas are all eliminated and they encounter tough opponents.

Of course, now that Uchiha Touyu has arrived here, there's no need to think about any future wars.

After figuring out the situation, Uchiha Tou immediately set up an array throughout the Land of Frost and then began releasing Sharingan crystal balls.

Practice makes perfect. Although the Land of Frost is slightly larger than the Land of Grass, it is no challenge for Uchiha Hiu. A pale red light descended from the sky, instantly dragging all the ninjas of the country into an illusion.

"It seems that the Byakugan isn't very effective against genjutsu either; its resistance is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary ninja."

As the red light from the sky spread throughout the Land of Frost, Uchiha Touyu easily sensed everything below. Even the Byakugan, known for its exceptional observational abilities, was powerless against the miniature Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Similarly, the ninjas of Kumogakure were also completely controlled under the barely perceptible red light. Kumogakure's current commander, Yugito Nii, who had just turned 18, was instantly succumbed to the genjutsu even though she had become a perfect Jinchuriki.

"I never expected that the Cloud Ninja would have such a perfect Jinchuriki. It seems that we've already found someone to control the Cloud Ninja!"

Sensing the almost inseparable auras of Yugito and the Two-Tailed Cat, Uchiha Touyu smiled. To become a perfect Jinchuriki, one must at least be a Kage-level fighter. In fact, a perfect Jinchuriki is even stronger than an ordinary Kage-level fighter.

Although Yugito's exit from the story was quick in the original work, it can be seen from those few strokes that she actually had the upper hand in the battle against the immortal duo at the beginning, until she was ambushed by Hidan's Death Treasure Blood, which led to her tragic exit.

If one's strength is insufficient, Kakuzu alone would be enough to give an ordinary Jinchuriki a hard time; there's no need to resort to such underhanded tactics.

"It seems that as long as we can silently eliminate Killer Bee and give this Two-Tails Jinchuriki some support, the Hidden Cloud Village will fall into my hands."

Previously, Uchiha Touya had never considered Yugito, the Two-Tails, mainly because this female ninja was about the same age as Kakashi, and had only just come of age. A few years ago, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Her strength and prestige were seriously insufficient, and she had no chance of inheriting the position of Raikage.

Now that Yugito has come of age and become a perfect Jinchūriki, his strength is sufficient to make him a commander on a battlefront, and his prestige is obviously not low.

At least for now, she has the possibility of succeeding as Raikage, and for Uchiha Touyu, having this possibility is enough.

After taking out another Chaos Treasure Box, Uchiha Touyu once again arranged illusionary stories for the ninjas in the Land of Frost, and also selected some ninjas to absorb the Chaos Treasure Box.

However, this time he didn't go that far with the Cloud Village, only killing about half of the ninjas. As for the Leaf Village ninjas, he just randomly picked some who had no potential and threw them into the Chaos Treasure Box.

"Now, let's get to the main event..."

Looking at the Hyuga main clan ninja controlled by genjutsu, Uchiha Touyu nodded slightly:

"If I want Yugito to rise to power, I can't let her come away empty-handed from this battle. Massively killing Konoha ninja will damage my 'leek' growth. However, if I can get two pure Byakugan, even if the number of Cloud ninjas injured is several times greater than that of Konoha, it shouldn't be considered a failure!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Touyu reached out and gouged out the Byakugan from the eyes of the Hyuga main clan ninja. After thinking for a while, he simply killed the main clan ninja and stored his body in a storage scroll.

"Ninjas with the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan are best refined using the Soul Devouring Blood Refining Technique, which can greatly enhance their bloodline. Although it is no longer useful to me, it is still very effective for my cauldrons."

Among the techniques that Uchiha Touyu currently possesses, the Devouring Spirit and Refining Blood Technique is mainly used to revert to his ancestral bloodline, the secret technique of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is used to strengthen his physique, and the final Chaos Treasure Box is simply used to replenish energy, blood, and spirit.

However, if he makes even a little more progress in his bloodline and chakra, he will completely evolve from a flesh and blood body into an energy body, which can be considered a complete Six Paths, or rather, an Otsutsuki.

To avoid this situation, Uchiha Tomoyu had to slightly suppress himself and store most of the leeks in the Hunyuan Treasure Box until he could collect more black energy offerings and obtain a better cultivation technique.

However, putting some bloodline ninjas related to the Otsutsuki clan into the Hunyuan Treasure Box would be a huge waste. The Hunyuan Treasure Box has no effect on improving bloodline or changing physique. Even if you throw a Sage of Six Paths into it, it will only decompose him into pure chakra energy, blood energy, and spiritual energy.

Therefore, having determined that he was no longer prepared to continue down the path of reverting to the Otsutsuki lineage, Uchiha Touyu could slightly loosen the restrictions on his training, giving Tsunade and the rest of his harem a chance.

After retrieving the storage scroll, Uchiha Hiyu placed his Byakugan into a glass test tube, then casually summoned Yugito and handed the test tube to her.

Although Yugito is currently under an illusion, she still exudes a cold and elegant aura. She has straight beige hair tied into a long braid that reaches her waist. She obediently extends her hand and takes the glass test tube.

"The illusion can last for three more days... so there's no need to rush."

He gently reached out and stroked Yugito's face, then Uchiha Touyu's hand slipped inside her collar.

After gently massaging her twice, Uchiha Touyu nodded in satisfaction. Although she couldn't compare to Tsunade's extraordinary talent or her cheating medical ninjutsu, this perfect Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja was definitely unparalleled among ordinary female ninjas.

"It seems that the women of Kumogakure are indeed a size larger than those of other ninja villages... That makes sense. When Kishimoto designed the Five Great Nations, he clearly designed Kumogakure as a bald eagle. The women of that country are indeed more physically imposing than people of East Asian descent."

These chaotic thoughts flashed through Uchiha Tou's mind. Then, Uchiha Tou hugged Yugito and disappeared without a trace after a flash of light from a space-time ninjutsu.

"Hmm... what's going on?"

In an inn in the Land of Frost, Yukito clutched his head, slowly waking up from the illusion.

She felt as if she had just been fighting Konoha ninjas on the battlefield, but the next second she found herself in an unfamiliar room, as if a large chunk of time had been cut off in between.

With a wave of his hand, Yukito's expression suddenly changed, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Two-Tailed Nekomata? Are you there!?"

There was no response, and the special telepathic communication between the perfect Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast vanished without a trace, as if the Tailed Beast had never existed within her body.

However, Yugito knew that was impossible. Once a Jinchuriki loses his Tailed Beast, it's practically certain death, and there has never been an exception.

"So... I've been sealed away?!"

With a wave of his arm, Yugito felt the lifeless energy within his body, the chakra he couldn't mobilize at all, and immediately confirmed his guess. His expression then became even more gloomy.

I am now the commander of the Cloud Ninja of the Frost Country, and also their most powerful trump card. If even I was captured and sealed away without a sound, what will become of the Cloud Ninja of the Frost Country?

Just what kind of powerful individuals did Konoha send? I am a perfect Jinchuriki, yet I was sealed and captured here without even realizing it...

"Are you awake?"

The door opened, and Uchiha Hiyu walked in, looking Yugito up and down.

"You woke up quickly...but luckily we still have enough time!"

"Who are you? Are you a Konoha ninja? What do you want with me?!"

Yugito's expression changed. Without chakra and unable to draw upon the power of the tailed beast, she was now just an ordinary woman who could fight. She could take on ten ordinary people who didn't know chakra, but any genin with a little combat experience could easily put her in eighteen different positions!

"you!"

Uchiha Touyu said one word very directly.
