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

Chapter 38 The Vampire's Touch and the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique

The pitch-black book of demonic inheritance still floated in the darkness, and in the altar below, more than 20 black lines of varying lengths were constantly moving around.

After entering this space, Uchiha Hiyu immediately asked a question: Could you guarantee that all the inheritances given by the Book of Demonic Path would be useful to him?

The book of demonic inheritance in the sky emitted bursts of black light, forming twisted and eerie characters:

If there is a specific objective when offering sacrifices, then ten times the number of lives are required.

Uchiha Touyu paused slightly, then stroked his chin:

"In other words, if I really want certain magical knowledge, I have to pay ten times the sacrifice to get it?"

"As for ordinary sacrifices, it's hard to say whether the knowledge gained will be useful... just like the initial method of cultivating the Silver Scaled Serpent."

Although it is titled "Complete Collection of Demonic Path Techniques," based on Uchiha Tou's experience of inheriting the techniques twice, it seems that any dangerous and vicious cultivation method can be included in this book.

For example, the methods for cultivating the Spirit Binding General and the Silver Scale Poisonous Serpent are theoretically not considered orthodox demonic arts, but rather evil arts. Yet, they are still included in this book, which shows that the contents of this great book are probably all-encompassing and countless.

In this situation, the vast majority of the knowledge and inheritance obtained by Uchiha Hiyu through sacrifice would probably not meet his requirements.

"No matter what, let's try it first! First, offer ten wisps of black energy directly, and then try to determine the method of sacrifice."

Ten wisps of black energy flashed and disappeared in an instant. The Book of Demonic Path Inheritance trembled slightly, and a beam of black light shot into Uchiha Touyu's body.

"Vampire Touch?! Isn't that a necromancy spell from Dungeons & Dragons? Even this is considered sorcery?"

"Will there be spells like 'Finger of Death,' 'Lich Reincarnation,' or 'Summon the Undead' in the future? Should I just become a necromancer?"

"However... a spell like Vampire Touch might not work in the Naruto world, right? Chakra and magic in the D&D world are not the same thing."

The Vampire Touch from the DND world deals massive damage to enemies and converts half of the damage into healing energy to heal the user. Its drawback is that physical contact is required to use it.

Although it's only a third-rank spell in the D&D world, it would at least be rated as an S-rank ninjutsu in the Naruto world, so it can't be said to be useless.

However... converting this kind of magic into ninjutsu is still a bit difficult. At least with Uchiha Tou's background, it's definitely not going to happen in the short term.

Furthermore, the Vampire Touch requires physical contact; cutting with a knife certainly doesn't count. While it's not entirely diametrically opposed to Uchiha Tou's fighting system, it's still somewhat difficult to integrate with it.

"Consider it as building up your foundation...you'll always find a use for it later."

"For now, let's try a sacrifice method with a clear objective!"

With a thought, the remaining dozen or so black wisps instantly evaporated. The black Book of Demonic Inheritance trembled slightly and transmitted another message.

When Uchiha Touya just made his sacrifice, he was hoping to get a sword technique in return—mainly because the effect of a precise sacrifice is only one-tenth, equivalent to sacrificing a Chunin-level death aura, so it's impossible to get anything too good.

What was passed down to Uchiha Touyu in the Book of Demonic Path Inheritance was indeed not a good thing—it was just the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, which only contained the techniques themselves.

The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique originates from the Sunflower Manual. It is an evil martial art that requires a great price to master. Once mastered, the user's movements become ghostly and incredibly fast. Moreover, as long as one passes the first test by castrating oneself, one can master the technique in a very short time.

However, what Uchiha Hiyu obtained was only a version of the moves, which was the kind of fancy moves that Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi started practicing in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

"Tsk... To say it's useless... well, not really, but to say it's useful... well, it really isn't very useful."

Uchiha Touyu glanced at the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique with some disdain, but ultimately decided to let Hatake Sakumo see the sword technique later, as it might give him a lot of inspiration.

Sakumo's White Fang Sword Technique can be considered a high-speed technique, so perhaps it can have some synergy with the moves of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Having gained two things, Uchiha Touya immediately withdrew from this space, and at the same time made up his mind:

"I need to go kill more people... If I kill over two hundred this time, I can directly obtain a more precise inheritance, on par with the Vampire's Touch!"

Vampire Touch combines both offensive and healing capabilities, making it a top-tier S-rank ninjutsu in the Naruto world. Any S-rank ninjutsu can create an elite Jonin, and even in Kage-level battles, this ninjutsu is considered a trump card.

If he were to acquire some supporting inheritances, Uchiha Tou would definitely be able to make a leap forward in strength again in a short period of time, and truly enter the quasi-Kage level.

In fact, after this period of training, Uchiha Touya, now possessed by Hatake Sakumo, is already considered a Kage-level ninja, albeit the weakest one.

Even without Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Tou's strength was already comparable to that of an elite Jonin. Of course, just like his possessed state was at the Kage level, Uchiha Tou in his blank state was also just an elite Jonin at the beginner level.

With high hopes for the future, Uchiha Touyu left the Demonic Path space. After more than a month of recuperation, he felt that his strength had reached its peak and was preparing to go to Orochimaru to ask for some more missions.

"This time we can be a little more aggressive. After all, on the battlefield now, almost no one can threaten my life. Unless the Fourth Kazekage is out of his mind and comes to kill me personally, even Chiyo, that puppeteer, doesn't have the ability to kill me."

With these thoughts in mind, Uchiha Touyu walked out of the hidden training ground he had created and headed towards Konoha's camp. However, halfway there, the expression on his face changed slightly.

"What's going on? Why are there so many unfamiliar souls around here?"

Uchiha Hiu, who possesses the ability to bind spirits, can sense the aura of souls at close range. In this respect, he can be considered a sensory ninja, but his sensing range is very narrow, and the range he can sense is less than 20 meters.

However, after eliminating many Sand Ninja and absorbing the sensory abilities of one of the Sensory Ninja, his sensory range expanded more than tenfold, and he can now sense the soul aura of life within a 200-meter radius.

He then discovered that within this area, there seemed to be some unfamiliar spiritual energy.
