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

Chapter 58 Smoke Bomb

"Ugh!!"

Seeing the Konoha ninja turn into dried corpses, Yekura's face showed no joy, but rather a very ugly expression.

Her wounds, after Chiyo's emergency treatment, have mostly healed and at least do not affect her current combat ability. After being healed, she and Chiyo began a large-scale sweep of Konoha ninjas.

Without the intervention of ninjas of the same rank, the overwhelming killing efficiency of Kage-level ninjas against ordinary ninjas was on full display. Chunin might be able to withstand one or two blows, while Genin would be instantly killed. Even so-called Jonin, in the face of two Kage-level ninjas working together, would at most last a minute or two before being defeated.

Even though the two had already killed hundreds of Konoha ninjas, Uchiha Touya still showed no intention of confronting them. Instead, he began a frenzied massacre of Sand Ninjas as if it were a competition.

Even among those at the same Kage level, the efficiency of killing lower-ranking ninjas varies, and unfortunately, Uchiha Touyu is probably among the most efficient.

His invisibility and high speed allow him to instantly kill any non-sensory Chunin or Genin. Coupled with his unpredictable White Fang sword technique, even Jonin are often killed within three moves.

His incredible speed and stealth ability also ensured his high rate of escape from combat, preventing him from being entangled by enemy Jonin and then surrounded and attacked. This meant that even if Yekura and Chiyo wanted to pursue him, they would not have a chance. Instead, during the pursuit, they would be constantly killed by Uchiha Touyu, who killed ordinary ninjas.

Despite Pakura and Chiyo having already killed over a hundred Konoha ninja, Uchiha Touya has already slaughtered nearly 300 Sand ninja! If this continues, the Sand ninja will be the first to collapse!

"This guy is ruthless; he doesn't care at all about his own ninjas being killed. Damn it... Looks like I'll have to use a backup plan now!"

Chiyo's face first showed a look of gritted teeth, then gradually calmed down, and finally became as still as a deep well, filled with coldness.

"A last resort? But..."

Ye Cang hesitated for a moment, but after looking at the current battle situation, he slowly nodded:

"That's right... now's the time to use that!"

With a bang, Chiyo summoned a strange puppet with a huge belly, a cold smile appearing on her lips:

"For some reason, that woman didn't participate in this war! Let these Konoha ninjas try out the ultimate masterpiece of a puppeteer!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chiyo clasped her hands together, and the huge puppet suddenly cracked open with many holes, from which boiling white smoke billowed out like steam.

Faced with the white smoke, Chiyo took out a small black pill without hesitation and swallowed it. Yekura also took a pill. Not only them, but all the Sand Ninja who saw the white smoke drifting over also took out pills from their ninja tool bags without hesitation and swallowed them.

As for the Konoha ninjas who didn't take the pills... they started coughing violently as soon as they came into contact with the white smoke, and their eyes, mouths, and noses felt like they were on fire, making it impossible for them to breathe.

"What is this? Biochemical poison gas! I never imagined the Sand Village had such a trump card!"

Uchiha Touyu hadn't expected his opponent to have such a move, but he wasn't afraid. The main reason was that the poison gas was spreading too slowly. For an ordinary ninja, as long as they weren't entangled by their opponent, they could easily escape.

In addition, powerful wind-based techniques can blow away the poisonous gas, ensuring one's safety for a short period of time.

In Uchiha Tou's opinion, this poison gas is best used in combination with special terrain, or when the Konoha ninjas are surrounded from all sides, so that they have nowhere to escape, which is the truly effective way to kill them.

Currently, although it can disperse many Konoha ninjas and achieve certain results, the actual number of Konoha ninjas who die from the poison gas is not large.

Seeing the poisonous gas drifting towards him, the invisible Uchiha Touya swung his sword and killed a Sand Ninja who was about to take medicine. He then snatched the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Without saying a word, he disappeared into the thick white fog.

Once inside the thick white fog, Uchiha Touyu realized that the so-called poisonous gas did not seem to be the kind of deadly poison that would kill instantly.

Yes, this seemingly terrifying poisonous fog is actually not very toxic. Let alone poisoning a ninja, even an ordinary person would probably need to soak in the fog for ten minutes to kill them.

Even in the poisonous fog, many Konoha ninjas seemed to be running around like headless flies, coughing violently and fleeing aimlessly. If it weren't for the Sand Ninjas chasing them, these Konoha ninjas would probably have all escaped.

Although the toxic gas is not very potent, the resulting side effects are both rapid and difficult to resist. Inhaling the toxic gas can cause severe coughing, sore throat, and intense eye pain.

To put it bluntly, to ninjas, this poison is essentially a strange kind of chili water smoke. However, ordinary gas masks are not very effective against this poison. Uchiha Touyu saw a Konoha ninja wearing a gas mask being slashed to death while coughing.

"That's true. These days, poison gas isn't so easy to make. It needs to be lethal on contact with blood, spread quickly, be contagious through the respiratory tract, and most importantly, the quantity can't be too small, otherwise it's impossible to form a large-scale toxic fog..."

With so many conditions combined, even if the Sand Village had a thorough understanding of poisons, it would still be extremely difficult to achieve this, and most importantly, the cost would be far too high.

This is precisely why the Sand Village only manufactured powerful irritant smoke bombs instead of traditional poison gas bombs—they were too poor! They simply couldn't afford to make them!

"But who cares? Even if Konoha loses, it won't affect me much. I'll just kill as many ninjas as I can and earn as much money as I can!"

In this thick, poisonous fog, Uchiha Hiyu, like an invisible ghost, slashed through the throats of one Sand Ninja after another.

Because the Sand Ninja were in the poisonous fog, they greatly relaxed their vigilance. In addition, the thick fog obscured their vision, making it impossible for them to see the figures of their fallen comrades in the distance. Uchiha Touya unexpectedly found that he was actually more adept at killing these Sand Ninja.

The original Konoha Ghosts were already well-known. Whenever the Sand Ninja saw their comrades suddenly collapse with blood spurting from their necks in the absence of any enemies, they would be terrified and run around in panic. It would take Uchiha Touyu some time to catch up with them.

Now, the Sand Ninja in this poisonous fog are completely unaware and have been killed silently.
