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

Chapter 63 Retreat

In fact, even synthesizing a kekkei genkai of the escaping technique type is an extremely difficult task for ninjas.

Especially for those who did not inherit any bloodline, the first bloodline limit creator was ten times more difficult to achieve than those who inherited a bloodline limit.

However, for Uchiha Hiu, who possesses the ability to summon spirits, learning a bloodline limit would be much easier—he could kill a ninja with a bloodline limit, possess them using the ability to summon spirits, and by using the bloodline limit ability a few more times, his own body and chakra would naturally develop a bloodline limit under this stimulation.

Just as Uchiha Touyu was rejoicing over his gains, a large amount of soul energy appeared in his perception, completely enveloping the house.

"They arrived pretty quickly. Even Yekura came?"

With a deafening roar, the entire house was blasted to pieces by a massive fireball. Amidst the smoke, Uchiha Hiyu burst forth like a bolt of lightning.

Before the two Sand Ninjas blocking their way could react, their throats were slit by short swords.

However, having received the news, the Sand Ninja who came to besiege the Leaf Village Ghost were naturally not some insignificant characters. The Sand Ninja whose throats were slit turned into mud with a splash, clearly just two earth clones.

At the same time, a golden fireball fell from the sky again, and with a bang, it exploded on Uchiha Hiyu, turning him into a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow clone? Watch out! This guy must be invisible! Everyone on alert, don't break the encirclement!"

Ye Cang spoke with a serious expression, and at the same time, he launched a barrage of bombardments on the ruins of the room without hesitation, completely disregarding the corpses of the Fourth Kazekage and Chiyo.

Rasa and Chiyo, while alive, were the Kazekage and elder of Sunagakure, but after death, they were nothing more than corpses of research value. This is the cruelest reality of the ninja world.

However, after the bombing, the entire room was reduced to ashes, and both Rasa and Chiyo were reduced to pulverized, dried corpses, but there was still no sign of Uchiha Tou.

Ye Cang glanced at the marks on the ground, his lips twitched, and veins bulged on his forehead:

"Damn brat...this guy left from underground from the very beginning! What a coward!"

Just as Yecang began to curse, a scream echoed throughout the entire Sand Village camp. Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately ran towards the direction from which the scream came.

When Yecang arrived at the location, all she saw were the corpses of Sand Ninja; Uchiha Touyu had already left.

A moment later, screams of agony from the Sand Ninja echoed from another direction. Yekura, who rushed there again, still couldn't find Uchiha Touyu, only the Sand Ninja suffering heavy casualties.

"Lady Yekura, this can't go on!"

A relatively calm Sand Village Jonin stopped Pakura, who was about to run over, and said:

"Gather all the ninjas! Only then can we deal with the invisible and elusive assassinations of the Leaf Village Ghost!"

"And... Lady Yekura, we should surrender to Konoha."

Ye Cang's body trembled slightly, and his face first showed a bit of anger, which then turned into a helpless expression.

"I understand... Let's gather everyone together first!"

The Sand Village only has three Kage-level fighters. The Jinchuriki is an old monk who can't kill people. Now, Rasa and Chiyo are dead, leaving only the weakest, Pakura.

This strength has almost fallen out of the ranks of great ninja villages. To be honest, the current strength of Sunagakure is not necessarily much stronger than that of Amegakure. If they do not admit defeat, they may become the first great ninja village to be destroyed!

After Yekura gave the order, all the Sand Ninja quickly gathered together. Even when Uchiha Hiu killed another thirty or forty Sand Ninja, she did not move.

Once all the Sand Ninja in the camp had gathered together, Uchiha Tou knew that his assassination mission should come to an end.

Before the power levels in Naruto were inflated, no ninja could defeat a large ninja army head-on. He could try to assassinate them while the situation was still chaotic, but he definitely couldn't directly confront these ninjas.

Having left the Sand Village camp without a sound, Uchiha Touya happily returned to the Konoha camp and handed in his mission to Orochimaru.

After listening to Uchiha Hiyu's report and learning about the current situation of Sunagakure, Orochimaru immediately concluded that Sunagakure could no longer continue fighting.

"It seems the war is finally over. Feiyu-kun, you've done a great service!"

"It has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that you, Lord Orochimaru, killed the Fourth Kazekage. Otherwise, you wouldn't have won so easily."

Uchiha Touyu said nonchalantly that he didn't care much about battle merits. On the contrary, Orochimaru was eager for the position of Hokage and needed battle merits.

Orochimaru chuckled softly, then suddenly spoke:

"Feiyu-kun, have you ever considered becoming my disciple?"

Become Orochimaru's disciple? Uchiha Touyu paused for a moment, then began to ponder.

What are the benefits of becoming Orochimaru's disciple? Well, there really are. As one of the Legendary Sannin, a candidate for Hokage of Konoha, and a master of forbidden techniques in the village, Orochimaru possesses a vast array of ninjutsu, encompassing almost all of Konoha's forbidden techniques.

Moreover, unlike other teachers who emphasize gradual progress when teaching apprentices, he would impart all his knowledge of most ninjutsu and forbidden techniques to anyone who caught his eye.

As for the downsides, if Orochimaru were to defect in the future, his disciples in Konoha would definitely be affected. In addition, there is another point: they might be used by Orochimaru as a vessel to change bodies.

But thinking about it carefully... anyway, I, an Uchiha, don't expect to have any future in Konoha, so I'll just use myself as the target of the Reanimation Jutsu... Let's get to know each other.

Even if he were to defect with Orochimaru, it wouldn't seem to be a problem, since he'd already had enough of Konoha.

With his own strength, even if he defected, the pursuit by Konoha would be nothing more than a formality, and he wouldn't need to worry about his safety at all.

Moreover, Konoha does indeed possess many forbidden techniques that Uchiha Touyu covets. However, as an Uchiha, he has virtually no chance of obtaining such high-level forbidden techniques.

For example, the Impure World Reincarnation, Flying Thunder God Technique, or Spirit Transformation Technique are all Konoha's true trump cards. This Uchiha has basically cut off the normal way to obtain them.

However, if one were to join Orochimaru, obtaining these ninjutsu from him would be much easier. Given Orochimaru's personality, aside from the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique and the Reanimation Jutsu, which are crucial to his life, he doesn't have much interest in keeping other ninjutsu secret.
