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

Chapter 187 Night Food Plains

When Uchiha Touyu truly began his training in the Divine Sect and Demonic Sect, he discovered just how chaotic and disordered the bloodline power accumulated within his body was, and that he hadn't even utilized half of its potential.

Putting everything else aside, theoretically, Uchiha Tou's bloodline had already been developed to the Rinnegan stage, but its outward manifestation was still only the three-tomoe. However, although he already possessed the common abilities unique to the Rinnegan, he had never awakened the unique eye techniques belonging to the Rinnegan.

For example, Kaguya Otsutsuki's Amenominaka, Sasuke Uchiha's Senju Power, and Madara Uchiha's Limbo: Border Jail are all unique powers of their Rinnegan.

In comparison, ninjutsu such as Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei, and Ten'ai Zhenxing are actually just applications of gravity by the Rinnegan. Theoretically, any Rinnegan could do such a thing if one were to study it carefully.

Previously, Uchiha Touyu could only use the common power of the Rinnegan, which is why he rarely used the power of the Rinnegan in his daily life.

There's no other reason than that it's better to use the Rinnegan power, which I'm not very skilled at and whose effects are quite ordinary, when fighting one-on-one, I'll use the Lightning Release: Susanoo Chakra Mode, and when mowing down enemies, I'll just use the Wood Release.

For Uchiha Touyu, the cultivation of bloodlines by the Divine Sect and the Demonic Path not only allowed him to separate the Otsutsuki clones from his chakra system, but also enabled him to channel the bloodline power accumulated within his body and unleash the true power within his bloodline.

Previously, Uchiha Touyu believed that unless he transformed into an Otsutsuki clan member, his basic abilities would not be able to improve any further.

However, after practicing the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect, he realized his mistake.

Even though he is still on the verge of evolving into an Otsutsuki, with the cultivation of his bloodline power, his basic qualities such as strength, physique, reaction, and speed, as well as the most crucial chakra quality, will still see a slight improvement after each training session.

That wasn't an improvement in the essence of the bloodline; it was merely that the chaotic potential within the bloodline was rediscovered.

Just like human beings, people like Shaquille O'Neal and Mike Tyson are naturally stronger than ordinary people. Even without any training, their talent alone surpasses the ceiling of many ordinary people.

Although the original Uchiha Touyu's bloodline concentration had reached the critical point of becoming an Otsutsuki, even if he were to become an Otsutsuki, he would probably be the type that suffers from malnutrition.

In human terms, he would be a short person, about 1.6 meters tall, weighing less than 100 pounds, the kind of person who, in a fight, two people could not defeat one person.

After undergoing the cultivation methods of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect, and after a period of tempering and refining their bloodline potential, they may not possess the potential of boxing champions like Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee, but they have at least reached the level of ordinary athletes and are considered outstanding individuals within the Otsutsuki clan.

One day, after finishing his training, Uchiha Tou felt a strange power emanating from his eyes, as if he had entered a magical space.

The space was filled with endless starlight, some bright, some dim, some out of reach, and some right before our eyes.

For some inexplicable reason, Uchiha Touyu looked at the endless starlight and knew what it was—it was the innate eye technique awakened by his Rinnegan.

To be precise, these are the endless talents attached to the Otsutsuki bloodline. The brighter ones are the more powerful talents, such as Kaguya's Amenominaka, while the dimmer ones are the weaker talents, such as Madara Uchiha's Limbo: Border Jail.

The fact that the starlight talents are close together indicates that Uchiha Touyu's own attributes are more compatible and easier to awaken, while the fact that the starlight talents are farther away indicates that it is not easy for Uchiha Touyu to awaken these talents.

Within this starlight space, Uchiha Touyu was also able to move, though at a speed similar to that of an ordinary person. He also had a feeling that his time in this starlight space was already counting down. If he didn't manage to grab a starlight within a certain time, then his awakening of the Rinnegan talent would fail again.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Touya didn't say a word. He reached out and grabbed the nearest and brightest starlight, then frowned.

"Amenotejikara... it wasn't very useful in the fight against Nagato! Let's try something else!"

Uchiha Touyu quickly selected all the nearby starlight. The brighter the starlight, the farther away it is, and the dimmer the starlight, the closer it is. However, the nearby starlight is less than one-thousandth of the total starlight. If you want to select more and better talents, you have to go further away.

Uchiha Touyu quickly selected from the dozen or so starlight nearby, and then basically gave up. It wasn't that they were bad, but most of their powerful abilities were related to space, and he really didn't have much of a chance against Nagato's Takamagahara.

With no other option, Uchiha Touyu could only venture deeper into the Starlight Space. After selecting dozens more unsatisfactory Starlight talents, he could feel his body gradually becoming ethereal.

"There's no other way. Let's go pick a few more. If they're still not useful, then let's choose the one we just saw, Ten no Minaka!"

However, after picking two more bright stars, Uchiha Hiyu still wasn't satisfied. Then, he casually picked up a third bright starlight, sensed it briefly, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Night Eater?! What a strange eye technique! It has no offensive or defensive capabilities whatsoever; instead, it's the ability to dreamt through three thousand worlds?"

For a moment, a hesitation flashed through Uchiha Touyu's mind. The main reason was that some of these starlights only contained simple introductions, which were likely left behind by the previous Otsutsuki and seemed rather rough.

Like this so-called dreaming of three thousand worlds, who knows what these so-called three thousand worlds mean? Are they other different worlds, or other planets, or even different dimensions on some planets?

The first option would naturally be the most effective. The second and third options would render the ability completely useless, but they wouldn't be of much help to Uchiha Touyu either.

However, Uchiha Touyu decided to take the gamble anyway—mainly because this starlight was so bright, no less than a superior ability like Amenominaka, yet it had no combat power whatsoever, giving Uchiha Touyu endless room for imagination.

For something that has no combat ability or even support ability, and whose only ability is sleepwalking observation, to receive such a high evaluation, it can only mean that the space it observes and the scope of its sleepwalking are absolutely beyond imagination. Perhaps it really can observe another world.

For an ordinary Otsutsuki, the ability to observe is naturally of little use. Even if you really sleepwalk through three thousand worlds, so what? It doesn't change the fact that you're still a weakling in the real world.

However, for Uchiha Touyu, the various inheritances in the Book of Demonic Paths allow him to observe other worlds, and perhaps he can travel to that world.

Time was of the essence. Uchiha Touyu had just obtained the starlight when he vanished without a trace. In reality, he opened his eyes, only to find them completely black, with three red tomoe-shaped pupils appearing in the darkness, giving off an eerie feeling.

However, after a short while, all these strange phenomena disappeared, and Uchiha Touyu's eyes returned to their normal three-tomoe state, and then returned to their original appearance.

"I hope this Night Gluttony will turn out as I wish!"

Shaking his head, Uchiha Touyu didn't directly use the abilities of the Night God. He was currently in a critical period of training in the Divine Sect and Demonic Gate. Every time he used the eye techniques of the Rinnegan, his training would be suspended for a period of time. Anyway, the matter of the other world was still far away, so he naturally chose to train the Otsutsuki clone first.

Time flies, and soon enough, eight years have passed since Uchiha Hiyu began cultivating the Divine Sect's Demonic Method.

For eight years, the entire Naruto world was peaceful and tranquil... That's impossible.

In the original Naruto world, as long as the five great ninja villages don't cause trouble, the entire ninja world is basically at peace. Unfortunately, due to the widespread dissemination of chakra training methods, far too many people have gained power.

Although the world is relatively peaceful under the control of the five great ninja villages, the ninja world is still filled with chaos caused by ordinary people who have gained power and become arrogant.

While large-scale massacres have disappeared, small-scale incidents of killing a dozen or more people at once, or forming various small groups and turning law-abiding citizens into bandits, are still countless.

Over the past eight years, thanks to the Akatsuki organization established by Nagato, conflicts have been quelled and evil has been punished throughout the ninja world, and the organization has finally overcome this painful period of adjustment.

However, although many minor disturbances have occurred in various countries and regions over the past eight years, their national strength development should not be underestimated.

After the universal use of chakra was truly implemented, almost everyone in the ninja world possessed this extraordinary power. For ordinary civilians, the amount of chakra in their bodies was not even enough to use two D-rank ninjutsu, but it was enough to strengthen their bodies. One person in the past could now be used as seven or eight people.

It goes without saying that ordinary people with some talent can get better jobs even if they don't choose to join the army or join the subordinate expansion organization of the ninja village, thanks to the stronger physical strength brought by more chakra.

Not to mention that among the five great nations, the daimyo and high-ranking officials of four of them have been controlled by Uchiha Touyu. Under Uchiha Touyu's control, these people are all incorruptible, fair and just. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their national strength did not develop rapidly.

In the past few years, even though the entire ninja world has been in chaos, the population has not decreased but increased, and technological development has almost reached the level of Boruto. At least trains, airplanes, skyscrapers and other such things have been created.

The strength of the five great ninja villages has increased several times over. Putting aside everything else, each of the five great ninja villages now has nearly 10 ninjas, and has gradually transformed from a semi-mercenary army into a national army.

Among the five great nations, even the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, which have the smallest populations, actually have no fewer than ten million people. Although the technological development of the ninja world is somewhat distorted, the great nations have actually possessed at least the technology of modern society. Only in terms of war technology, they are still stuck in the era of cold weapons.

In this situation, supporting a cold weapon army of tens of millions of people with a population of at least tens of millions is a piece of cake. Not to mention that although the ninja village itself has gradually transformed into a national army, it has not given up its original mission and has generated considerable income.

Therefore, the five great ninja villages are now thriving. Furthermore, if we compare chakra to technology, the most advanced chakra technology is always found in the ninja villages. In this era of universal chakra, these ninja villages have also reaped considerable benefits. Population growth is a minor issue; the original ninja villages have all developed into large cities.

Konoha Village, formerly the territory of the Uchiha clan, seems unchanged despite the tides of time. The high-rise buildings outside seem unrelated to the detached houses here. The village still maintains its original environment. If it weren't for the newly added signal base stations and power lines in the Uchiha clan territory, one would think that this place is still several years old.

In this day and age, only the ninja clans of these large clans can guarantee that their original settlements will not change. The ninja clans of smaller clans have long since razed their detached houses and built high-rise buildings—the demolition compensation these days is something that smaller ninja clans simply cannot resist.

However, today, the Uchiha clan members staying in their clan's territory felt uneasy and anxious, as if an invisible pressure was weighing on their hearts.

In fact, it wasn't just the Uchiha; some ninjas near the Uchiha clan's territory could also sense that imminent storm, though not as strongly as the Uchiha.

Now 18 years old, Itachi Uchiha, perhaps due to his talent, can not only sense the aura, but also vaguely sense the source of the aura.

He walked out of his house, the three tomoe in his eyes spinning, and headed along the Naka River towards the Naka River Shrine at the source of the river.

In Itachi's perception, that place was the source of everything. It was as if an ancient and immense aura flowed from the Nakagawa Shrine, making all the Uchiha tremble with fear and feel uneasy.

Itachi Uchiha was naturally affected by this aura, but his sense of responsibility drove him to walk there. Halfway there, he saw Obito Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who were also walking towards the Nakagawa Shrine with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
