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

Chapter 182 The Tailed Beast Disappears

"That was close! I almost got killed."

A tremor ran through the void, and from the ruins, the figure of Uchiha Touyu was revealed—in fact, even without using space-time ninjutsu, Uchiha Touyu, who had already awakened a higher level of Rinnegan, could directly absorb this Dust Release ninjutsu.

"Where did this ninja come from, daring to come to our Iwagakure village to plunder! Where did you take Han?"

Onoki, who was flying in at breakneck speed, shouted loudly, to which Uchiha Tou simply shrugged:

"Where did you take it? You can go find it yourself!"

"Wait... your eyes!! Damn it, Uchiha, are you a ninja from Konoha?"

Upon seeing the three tomoe in Uchiha Tou's eyes, Onoki was slightly startled and showed a wary expression.

However, these complicated thoughts only flashed by, and soon Onoki laughed at himself, thinking that the other party was just a three-tomoe Uchiha, so why should he be so wary?

"Dad, this guy isn't a Konoha ninja... he's that Konoha rogue ninja, Uchiha Touya!"

At this moment, Huang Tu, who was also blessed by his father with the Super Light Rock Technique, saw the familiar figure in the sky and immediately shouted loudly.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Huang Tu had a profound impact on Uchiha Tou. Both his strength and his cunning and treacherous nature left a lasting impression on Huang Tu.

"Uchiha Touyu? Heh... A mere Uchiha rogue ninja dares to cause trouble in our Iwagakure village! Hand over Han, or we Iwagakure will never let this go!"

"Tsk, you're not going to let this go? You think you can take it easy on me?"

Hearing the Third Tsuchikage's threat, Uchiha Touyu found it somewhat amusing. Thinking of the old man's Uchiha Madara Syndrome, he decisively unleashed a powerful burst of chakra. His two three-tomoe chakra beads spun continuously, rapidly condensing into a samurai figure formed from chakra around his body.

Bones, muscles, armor... In a short while, the complete Susanoo, tens of meters tall, stood in the center of the ninja village. A group of Iwa ninja stared in disbelief at the chakra giant that was almost as tall as a small mountain, almost losing their will to fight.

"This...this is...Susanoo!!?"

Upon seeing the familiar chakra giant before him, Onoki, who had been so confident, suddenly gasped in shock, as his post-traumatic stress disorder resurfaced.

"Damn it, all ninja below Jonin level, get off the battlefield! Jonin, come with me and deal with this guy!"

As he spoke, Onoki condensed a ball of light between his hands and fired it directly at Uchiha Tou's Susanoo.

With a deafening roar, the Susanoo's chest was blasted open by Dust Release, but Uchiha Touyu didn't care. With the massive flow of chakra, the giant chakra was restored to its original state, sprouted wings, and took to the sky.

Incidentally, a magatama-shaped energy blast emerged from the chest of the massive Susanoo, directly blasting towards Onoki, who was flying in the sky.

Onoki used his flying ability to dodge left and right, but even though he dodged the Yasaka Magatama, the energy still bombarded the Iwagakure village.

Amidst the deafening roar, the Iwagakure ninjas on the ground hurriedly unleashed various Earth Release ninjutsu to defend themselves, only to have them shattered by the energy attack, resulting in considerable casualties.

"I didn't expect you, Onoki, to look like a ground squirrel but fly so fast! How are you going to deal with this move?"

The Susanoo, hovering in mid-air, stretched out a hand, and a terrifying gravitational pull quickly enveloped Ōnoki, who was flying through the sky:

"Universal Guidance!"

Onoki's Ultra Light Heavy Rock Technique already reduced his weight to the extreme, making it even more suitable for the Universal Pull Technique. With a whoosh, Onoki, who was originally floating in mid-air, was sucked in with a bewildered look. The speed was comparable to that of a thrown shuriken.

"Oops!"

In an instant, Onoki realized that his opponent was also using a gravity-based ninjutsu, and that his own Super Light Heavy Rock Technique had actually given his opponent an advantage!

"Weighting Rock Technique!!"

Without hesitation, Onoki switched from the Super Light Rock Technique to the Heavy Rock Technique, and the Onoki who was flying at super speed like the Susanoo giant suddenly stopped.

However, this sudden movement and stop, coupled with the change in gravity, is not something an ordinary person can withstand. A normal ninja might be fine, at most experiencing a moment of dizziness or blackout, but when it came to Ono...

"Ughhhh!! My back is killing me!!"

With a slight cracking sound from his joints, Onoki, who was floating in mid-air, froze. Intense pain swept through his body from his waist, and he remained suspended in mid-air before plummeting down.

"Dad!!"

Huang Tu rushed forward and reached out to hug his falling father. However, in this stiff state, Onoki was unable to release the Weighted Rock Technique. For a moment, Huang Tu felt as if he were hugging a block of iron.

Fortunately, unlike his father who was short-limbed and osteoporotic, Onoki's son was a tall, broad-shouldered, and burly man with the strongest arms in Iwagakure. Although he was also pulled down, he managed to catch his father.

However, under such weight, when caught by his son's arms, Onoki's already aching back immediately cracked under the strain. Onoki's eyes rolled back in pain, and he almost fainted.

"Shinra Tensei!"

When Onoki used the Weighted Rock Technique, Uchiha Tou abandoned the Universal Pull. After the earth embraced Onoki, Uchiha Tou chuckled and unhesitatingly switched to using Shinra Tensei.

The immense repulsive force emanating from Susanoo instantly blasted the two people in the sky away. Huang Tu coughed up a mouthful of blood, immediately used Earth Release: Enhancement Technique, and then turned around to protect his father behind him.

With a loud crash, the two crashed directly into the high mountain of Iwagakure. Even with the protection of the yellow earth, Onoki screamed in agony in this state, feeling as if his spine was about to break.

The Iwa ninja below were even more unlucky. The sudden burst of terrifying repulsive force directly pushed hundreds of Iwa ninja below away. Apart from a few dozen powerful Iwa ninja who used Earth Release defensive ninjutsu, almost all the other Iwa ninja were killed or injured in an instant.

The Susanoo in the sky vanished without a trace. Uchiha Touya flashed and flew directly to the place where Huang Tu and Onoki had crashed. Looking at the cliff that had created a large crater, he slowly descended.

At this moment, Onoki had already fainted from the continuous attacks. Although Hirotsuchi still retained some fighting ability, he was in a very sorry state, with one arm hanging down, which looked like it had been broken.

"What else do you want to do, Uchiha Touu!?"

With blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Huang Tu looked at Uchiha Touyu warily, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

He had never understood why his father was so terrified of Madara Uchiha, always flinching with anger whenever the topic came up. However, now that Huang Tu had truly witnessed the terrifying power within the Uchiha bloodline, he finally understood his father's feelings.

The power contained within the bloodline of the Uchiha clan is truly terrifying!

Uchiha Tobi didn't even bother to answer Huang Tu's question. Instead, he transformed into a phantom and appeared right in front of him, sending him flying with a single punch.

Huang Tu once took pride in his strength, but in front of Uchiha Tou, he felt like a helpless rag doll, completely powerless to fight back.

After knocking away the dust, Uchiha Hiyu placed one hand on Onoki's head and pulled it upwards, extracting the old man's soul.

"Let me take a look at the specific information about the Four-Tails! Hmm, Dust Release seems to be a very useful Blood Elimination technique."

Although Dust Release may seem ineffective in battles at the Six Paths level, it is actually a blatant suppression of authority, and does not mean that Dust Release itself is weak.

It could even be said that even within the Otsutsuki clan, ninjutsu like Dust Release, which ignores defense, is definitely among the most powerful.

If the Dust Escape technique can be elevated to a Celestial Art, it will naturally be able to break through the authority suppression of the Six Paths level, and its power will be enough to shine in any battle.

Uchiha Touya's strength has now reached its peak, and even in the entire ninja world, there are fewer and fewer ninjutsu that are qualified for him to learn. However, Onoki's Dust Release is clearly one of the rare exceptions.

After his soul was extracted, Onoki collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless. Upon seeing this, the already severely injured Huangtu roared and charged forward again, disregarding his own injuries.

A bolt of lightning shot out from Uchiha Hiyu's hand, piercing through Huang Tu's chest. The tall ninja took two more steps forward, blood spilling from his mouth, and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

He casually collected Huang Tu's soul as well, glanced at the chaotic Iwagakure village, and vanished in an instant.

……

In the Land of Earth, in an ancient temple.

Old Zi sat cross-legged, with a wooden staff beside him, browsing through the Buddhist scriptures in his hands.

Most Jinchuriki, because they have to fight against the will of the Tailed Beasts, often like to read Buddhist scriptures and similar materials to enrich their minds. This habit may have been passed down from the time of the Sage of Six Paths, the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.

However, after flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in his hands a few times, Lao Zi felt extremely troubled, as if some bad premonition was lingering in his mind.

Old Zi put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hands, slowly stood up, and walked out of the temple, wanting to go out for a walk to clear his mind.

"That old bastard Onoki... always acts like he's superior because of his age, treating us Jinchuriki like tools. I wonder how his junior, Han, is doing?"

After muttering a couple of words, Lao Zi suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

With a slight distortion of space ahead, a familiar face appeared before him.

"Uchiha Touu?! How dare you show your face in front of me again!"

Looking at this opponent he had faced during the Third Shinobi World War, Roshi's face immediately twisted in disgust. Almost all the ninjas who had fought against Uchiha Touu during the Shinobi World War were filled with hatred for this powerful but despicable guy, and Roshi was one of his victims.

However, since the person Rōshi initially faced was Uchiha Hyuga, whose strength had not yet reached its full potential, he did not know about Uchiha Hyuga's current strength. As for Uchiha Hyuga's later achievements, such as killing the Third Raikage, he himself gave them to Orochimaru. To this day, only a few ninjas truly know Uchiha Hyuga's strength.

However, Rōshi did not belong to this small group of ninjas. Although he felt that Uchiha Hiyō's strength had definitely improved since the Third Shinobi World War, he could never have imagined how much Uchiha Hiyō had improved.

"Tch, so what if I appear in front of you? You don't actually think you're my match, do you?"

Uchiha Touyu almost burst out laughing when he saw the angry yet confident Old Purple in front of him. With three tomoe spinning in his eyes, he cast a genjutsu directly, and Old Purple was immediately and completely controlled by the genjutsu.

"You were so arrogant, I really thought you had some skills, but you were completely outmatched with just one look..."

Uchiha Touyu said something rather speechless, then took out the Hunyuan Treasure Box from his pocket and directly controlled the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to walk inside. The Hunyuan Treasure Box emitted a strange suction force, forming a hole like a black hole, which swallowed Rōshi whole.

"Now all the Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts have been dealt with. Nagato will probably be quite annoyed when he returns!"

Uchiha Touyu chuckled lightly, then his expression turned serious:

"I wonder how strong Nagato really is now? How much does the Sage of Six Paths' power boost his strength? It's a pity that the original manga didn't describe the Sage of Six Paths' strength much, which leaves me a bit confused."

He wouldn't use the power shown by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in the original work to measure Nagato's strength. Who knows how much of the power the Sage of Six Paths passed on to his two sons in the original owner's body?

Not to mention, purely from a fundamental perspective, Nagato Uzumaki, with his Sage Body and Sage Eyes, had a much higher foundation than Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki at that time!

With the Rinnegan, Sage Body, and Perfect Sage Mode, Nagato Uzumaki, even with the same power-ups as Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, would still gain a level of power far greater than those who gained Yin and Yang powers respectively, not to mention the possibility of gaining even greater power-ups.

"However... there are actually some ways to obtain information about Nagato."

Uchiha Touyu focused his attention on the Kamui dimension connected to his eyes. In the Kamui dimension, a pale-faced, cold-looking girl was constantly exploring the boundaries of this space.
