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

Chapter 37 Harvest

After Uchiha Hiyu arrived near Kawara Town, Konoha quickly gained the upper hand in this small-scale regional conflict.

Within three days, the two wiped out seven Sunagakure squads, causing heavy losses to the entire Sunagakure village and ultimately forcing them to withdraw from River Valley Town.

Once Yamanaka Seiichi pinpointed the location, Uchiha Hiyu made his move and killed someone. The whole thing was incredibly easy, as if it were a simple matter of taking something out of a bag.

When some Konoha ninjas in River Valley Town saw Uchiha Touyu make a move, they almost all suspected that the former Konoha White Fang had been resurrected. They worshipped him like a god, which made Uchiha Touyu realize just how powerful Hatake Sakumo was back then.

On a small hillside near Kawai Town, Uchiha Touyu looked at his subordinates:

"How is it, Cheng Yi? Are there any more chakra reactions nearby?"

Yamanaka Seiichi shook his head:

"Aside from some Konoha ninja chakra reactions, there is no unfamiliar chakra nearby. The Sand Village ninjas should have left completely."

"Well... it seems the prey here has all been killed."

Uchiha Touyu sighed softly, his expression still somewhat unsatisfied, causing Yamanaka Seiichi's expression to stiffen slightly.

(Orochimaru-sama also said that this Uchiha was born afraid of death, but now it seems he's clearly a killing machine!)

Uchiha Touyu was certainly not some kind of celestial killer descended to earth. The reason he enjoyed killing so much was partly to accumulate souls, and partly because the dark energy he obtained from killing could be used for sacrifices.

He never felt a strong sense of belonging to this world, and now that he had the cheat ability to kill and loot gold coins, he naturally viewed these hostile ninjas as experience points, showing them no pity whatsoever.

"In that case, let's go back to camp first, rest a bit, and then continue the mission."

Uchiha Touyu gazed at the soul spheres surrounding him. These souls were naturally the souls of the Sand Ninja he had killed. Unlike Hatake Sakumo, the Sand Ninja were unwilling to pass on their secret techniques to Uchiha Touyu.

However, it doesn't matter. Uchiha Touyu can use these souls to perform skills, and then deduce the principles and methods through the ninjutsu he performs. It is more difficult than having the other soul possess him and teach him, but it is much faster than learning slowly.

Moreover, while running around and killing outside could yield a lot of "gold coins," it also delayed the growth of Uchiha Hiu's chakra, leaving him with little time to devour and refine the soul of the Ryuchi Cave Orochi.

Hearing Uchiha Tou's words, Yamanaka Seiichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the past three days, Uchiha Tou had swept through the entire River Valley Town, but Yamanaka Seiichi, the hero behind the scenes, had also contributed a lot. Especially since he did not have Uchiha Tou's overwhelming strength, he was under a lot of pressure.

I am naturally quite happy to be able to go back and rest now.

……

At the Konoha camp command post, Orochimaru looked at the pile of blood-stained Sand Ninja headbands in front of him, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"Although I already knew that Feiyu-kun was quite strong, I'm still a bit surprised that he could do this much!"

"The power of Konoha's White Fang back then can now be seen in Tou-kun at about 70-80%!"

Ninjas who can conduct guerrilla warfare in small teams on the front lines during wartime are mostly elite ninjas. Of these 20-plus ninjas, at least half are Chunin.

After Yamanaka Seiichi thoroughly searched the brain, he found three special Jonin inside. This level of loss was enough to make the Sand Village grim.

Most importantly, this is only the result of Uchiha Hiu's killing spree over three days. If he continues to maintain this killing efficiency, whittling down the enemy day by day, the entire Sand Village will probably be driven to desperation within two or three months.

"Orochimaru-senpai, stop talking the talk! What's the reward for completing the mission?"

Uchiha Touyu completely ignored Orochimaru's pep talk and immediately started asking for benefits.

Orochimaru's lips twitched. This guy... has such a thick skin, no, he should be said to be completely shameless!

"Of course there are rewards. First of all, congratulations to Fei Yu on becoming a special Jonin. As the leader of the battle line, this is the best I can do to promote you. To become a full-fledged Jonin, you need the Hokage's personal promotion."

"In addition, based on the number of people you kill in the mission, you can get two A-level permissions and learn two A-level ninjutsu. Although I don't have the Book of Sealing here, I do have a ninjutsu learning catalog. You can take a look at it first."

"If you don't find one that suits your taste, you can always go back to Konoha to learn the ninjutsu from the Scroll of Sealing Techniques, since the ninjutsu there is more comprehensive."

"Also, you killed more than 20 ninjas, and the total reward for the mission is two million taels. This is your monetary reward."

Special Jonin sounds similar to Jonin, but as mentioned before, their power and other responsibilities are far less than those of Jonin, and they are not much different from Chunin.

Two A-rank ninjutsu sound pretty good, but unfortunately, Uchiha Tou's current skill level is shallow. Apart from the ninjutsu that come with Hatake Sakumo's White Fang Sword Technique, the others are only at the level of ordinary C-rank ninjutsu. He doesn't have the mind to learn more for the time being, so he can only put them on his list for now.

Two million taels of silver, which is roughly equivalent to RMB 1 million (100 tael = 10 yen), is an enormous sum that Uchiha Touyu has never seen before. However, upon closer reflection, this amount is at most one-tenth of Asuma's, and Uchiha Touyu's excitement subsided.

After receiving the reward, Uchiha Hiyu first shared a portion of the mission bonus with Yamanaka Seiichi, and then plunged into the training ground.

Having killed many people and collected many souls during this period, Uchiha Touyu is preparing to completely exploit the ninjutsu these souls possess to further enhance his own strength.

Due to the influence of the environment, most of the ninjas in Sunagakure train in Wind Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release. Some train in puppet techniques, which involve chakra control and are also closely related to Yin Release.

After a month of rest and training, Uchiha Tou's Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation had caught up with Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation. The skills and experience gained from more than 20 Sand Ninjas allowed him to improve rapidly, and the shortcomings in Wind Release in Hatake Sakumo's White Fang Sword Technique were completely made up for.

In addition, he also learned some Sand Ninja skills, including two Wind Release ninjutsu worth learning, Wind Cutter and Wind Blade, several B-rank and C-rank genjutsu, and a close-range sensory ninjutsu unique to puppeteers that releases chakra threads like a spider web.
