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

Chapter 69 A New Legacy

When asked about Orochimaru's suggestion, Uchiha Touyu said he needed to think about it for a while. Orochimaru didn't rush him and told him to give him an answer within three days.

Joining Root is not unacceptable to Uchiha Touya, as long as there is no brainwashing process or various cursed seals.

Anyway, he's not exactly a good person, but he doesn't have any moral fastidiousness. He can take on missions from Konoha, so why can't he take on missions from Root? Aren't they all about murder and arson?

But the key question is, what benefits will I get after joining the root? If there are no benefits, I'm not willing to work for free.

Back at his home, Uchiha Touyu first offered incense to his parents, his expression slightly indifferent, before returning to his room and sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"According to Orochimaru, now that I've returned to Konoha, I won't need to go to the battlefield for at least six months..."

The incident involving Root was actually just an accident. When Uchiha Hiyu went to find his adoptive teacher, he mainly wanted to ask how long he could rest.

Keep in mind that Konoha is still fighting Iwagakure, and Kumogakure is also eager to join the battle. Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, has been stationed on the Iwagakure battlefield, and his student Minato Namikaze is also on guard on the Kumogakure front.

Logically speaking, Konoha should be in great need of fighting power right now, but the Third Hokage gave Orochimaru and Uchiha Tou a six-month leave. I guess many people can't understand what he was thinking.

Uchiha Touyu, however, had some speculation about this. He thought that the Third Hokage's move was probably to suppress his and Orochimaru's achievements and reputation, paving the way for the election of the Fourth Hokage.

Only such so-called political factors could cause such pointless internal strife in a normal military department.

"However, this has given me a lot of time to develop and settle down. Now that it's confirmed I won't be on the battlefield for a while and won't be able to get too many souls, it's about time to use these sacrifices."

As he pondered this, Uchiha Touyu focused his mind on the black book of demonic inheritance, beneath which was a dense mass of black energy.

"There are a total of 572 wisps of black energy... I'll first use 500 wisps of black energy for a precise sacrifice, and the harvest will be the most suitable inheritance for me right now!"

Even so-called precise sacrifices can only be precise to a general extent, such as knife techniques, sword techniques, or main cultivation methods, but it is impossible to create a large number of items for you to choose from directly.

Uchiha Touyu played a trick this time, choosing the most suitable prefix so that at least there wouldn't be any useless inheritance.

A large amount of black energy evaporated and dissipated instantly. The black book trembled slightly for a moment, and a complex information flew out and landed in front of Uchiha Touyu.

"The Soul Devouring and Blood Refining Technique? What world's cultivation method is this?"

Uchiha Touyu examined it carefully. According to its description, this Soul Devouring Blood Refining Technique could not even be considered a cultivation method, but rather a secret technique originating from a strange race called the Soul Devouring Clan.

Its effect is quite simple: it refines various beings with strange bloodlines and physiques into a blood pool, allowing them to evolve their own bloodlines through this pool.

The life form being refined must be compatible with one's own race. In other words, if you want to evolve your bloodline in this way, killing chickens and ducks is definitely useless; you can only use humans.

At the same time, the stronger the special bloodline that a human possesses, the better, and the closer the connection with one's own bloodline, the better. If Uchiha Touyu could directly sacrifice the entire Uchiha clan, the purity of his bloodline would probably be close to that of Indra.

If he were to sacrifice all the major clans still existing in the ninja world, such as the Hyuga and Kaguya clans, then he wouldn't just be approaching Indra's level, but would be the real Sage of Six Paths in the world!

But such a thing is best left as a thought. To think that all these powerful clans could be sacrificed... well, it's not that it's impossible, but it's definitely not possible right now.

"This really is the path that suits me best. Isn't the Naruto world a world that only cares about bloodlines? If I didn't have the Sharingan, I wouldn't be able to deal with the resentment from the backlash of the Spirit Binding."

"Furthermore, establishing the blood pool first requires a significant amount of resources..."

It's not just a matter of resources. The so-called Blood Pool, just from its name, is full of demonic style, and what it needs are naturally things like bones and flesh.

Uchiha Touya racked his brains but couldn't figure out how to create a blood pool without Konoha's knowledge. In the end, he could only sigh softly.

"It seems I have to join this Root organization. With Orochimaru's help, I should be able to establish a Blood Pool."

"However, my relationship with this cheap teacher isn't a true master-disciple relationship, so I'd better think of a way... But I don't seem to have anything I can trade with Orochimaru."

While thinking, Uchiha Hiyu simply sacrificed all the remaining 72 bits of black energy. This time, he did not choose to make a precise sacrifice. A moment later, the black book of demonic inheritance gave him a message.

"Huh!? Haha, the details of the transaction came out so easily, didn't they?"

Looking at the "Lich Transformation Ritual" from the D&D world in his hand, Uchiha Touyu's face immediately lit up with joy. With this thing, how could he not deal with Orochimaru?

Having exited the demonic inheritance space, Uchiha Touyu lay on the bed and sighed softly:

"I wonder when the blood pool will be completed... and I also wonder if ordinary ninjas can be refined by the blood pool?"

In theory, ordinary ninjas are not descendants of the Sage of Six Paths and have no special bloodline. However, in reality, all ninjas in this world are descendants of the Ninja Clan established by the Sage of Six Paths. The ultimate source of chakra is still the seed separated by the Sage of Six Paths.

Chakra, as a form of energy, can actually modify genes and bloodlines. To some extent, ordinary ninjas in the ninja world are like dragon descendants living alongside dragons and being infected by them, already showing a certain difference from normal people.

"From this perspective, ordinary ninjas can actually be refined as well. Moreover, mid-to-low-level ninjas died as easily as weeds during the Fourth Shinobi World War, so getting their corpses would be extremely easy."

"The problem is that acquiring them on a large scale might present some transportation difficulties, and collecting corpses from the battlefield isn't easy either. It seems I'll have to ask my cheap teacher for help!"
