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

Chapter 84 Obito's Surprise

The following afternoon, after entering the Land of Fire for over a hundred miles, the ninjas from Konoha finally spotted some vanguard squads of Cloud Ninja.

Upon seeing the main force of Konoha, the Cloud Ninja immediately turned and left. Uchiha Touyu, standing at the forefront, narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke to Kakashi and the other two:

"Wait here a moment, I'll go pick a few heads first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished before the three of them.

Standing next to Uchiha Tou, Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with doubt:

"Hiyu-kun, you've actually improved the White Fang Sword Technique to this extent? The lightning on his body has formed a Lightning Release armor. Although it's far inferior to the Third Raikage, it's enough to withstand ordinary C-rank ninjutsu!"

Minato Namikaze had seen Sakumo Hatake in action before and was very clear about the principles behind the various ninjutsu of the White Fang of Konoha.

By using Lightning Release to stimulate his body and Wind Release to reduce wind resistance, Sakumo Hatake may not be slower than Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but his defense is about the same as that of an ordinary ninja, still at the level where he can be killed by a kunai.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this Lightning Release Armor may seem weak now, only able to defend against C-rank ninjutsu and kunai. In reality, even C-rank ninjutsu is considered powerful against ordinary Chunin.

On the battlefield, 99% of the attacks consist of these C-rank ninjutsu and kunai shuriken. Higher-level ninjutsu are considered ultimate moves among elite Chunin, and only Jonin can use them easily.

With this layer of defense, at least on the chaotic battlefield, there is no need to worry about stray bullets, which greatly increases the killing efficiency.

"I'm not quite sure either... Although I'm his teacher, Fei Yu's strength is no less than mine, and the path he takes is completely different from mine."

Orochimaru shrugged and spoke calmly.

"However... his strength has indeed improved very quickly, especially after going to the battlefield. It seems that his potential has been developed, and his strength has become much stronger in a short period of time."

Just as Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze were talking, several screams came from afar. A moment later, Uchiha Tou reappeared in front of them with several heads on his back.

"Teacher, let's go find some ninjas from the Yamanaka clan to search these people's brains. At least we can get some information."

He handed the blood-stained heads directly to Orochimaru. Orochimaru didn't say much, and after taking the heads, he gave a look to the ninjas behind him. Naturally, ninjas from the Yamanaka clan came to take the heads away.

Their heads were taken away by the Yamanaka clan, their bodies were snatched away by a giant snake summoned by Uchiha Tou and prepared to be sent into the blood pool, and their souls were also controlled by Uchiha Tou. It can be said that these ninjas were not wasted in any way.

Uchiha Touyu is now gradually feeling like he's becoming a member of the demonic path, and the "usefulness" of ninjas seems to be increasing in his eyes.

"Should I create something like the Netherworld White Bone Banner in the future? The current Spirit Binding General can no longer control so many souls, and as my foundation is refined, ordinary souls are no longer of much use."

While Uchiha Touyu was still deep in thought, his subordinates were already filled with shock.

Kakashi Hatake is alright; he has a calm personality and is strong enough to be considered a top-tier genius. Plus, with a black mask on his face, you can't really see much of a change in him.

Obito and Rin couldn't hide their surprise any longer, especially Obito, whose mouth gaped open and eyes widened. When he saw the heads, he even shrank back in fright.

"Feifei... Feiyu, how... how are you so strong?!"

Although Obito's question was a bit strange, it piqued the interest of both Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara. For a moment, the three young ninjas all looked intently at Touya Uchiha.

Unlike Orochimaru, who was knowledgeable and had watched Uchiha Touyu transform little by little, and Minato Namikaze, who had never met Uchiha Touyu before, Uchiha Touyu used to be their classmate.

Although Uchiha Tou was already quite strong at that time, he was undoubtedly only capable of dominating the Ninja Academy.

In just over a year, this older student's strength had skyrocketed to the level of a movie star. It was more than just a leap forward; he had completely transformed and become a different person!

Having never seen Uchiha Touyu in action before, Obito and the others didn't have a clear concept of what to do. Now, witnessing Uchiha Touyu's lightning-fast speed, and putting themselves in his shoes, the three were horrified to discover—

It seems that it would only take Uchiha Touya a fraction of a second to get his head!

"If you can kill hundreds or thousands of ninjas on the battlefield like I do, your strength will also become just as great!"

Uchiha Touyu smiled and said something, but of course, it was just a perfunctory remark—without Uchiha Touyu's strength, how could he possibly kill hundreds or thousands of ninjas?

"Thousands of ninjas..."

Obito shrank back and remained silent. Although it had been more than a year since he graduated from the Ninja Academy, Obito had only killed a few thieves at most, and had never even killed a real ninja.

The corpses of thousands of ninjas piled up would form a small mountain. Forget whether he could kill them all, just thinking about killing so many people made Obito Uchiha's heart tremble.

Even Kakashi's pupils trembled slightly as he glanced at Uchiha Touyu with a strange look—his father's disciple was truly a complete killer!

Fortunately, there are plenty of psychopaths among ninjas, so being a serial killer isn't really a problem. The others just muttered a couple of things to themselves, but didn't say anything.

"Lord Orochimaru, the intelligence has been compiled!"

The mountain clan ninja who had gone down with his head down returned in just a few minutes, speaking with a serious expression:

"Lord Orochimaru, according to the information we obtained from these heads, the Cloud Ninja have already established a camp in the Land of Fire, about 20 kilometers ahead!"

"Tsk, these barbarians are really fast..."

Orochimaru spoke, narrowing his eyes:

"Looks like these guys really want a piece of the Fire Country!"

There is still a slight difference between ninja villages and countries, because ninjas themselves do not pay taxes, and their finances, apart from mission commissions, are entirely funded by the daimyo.

Therefore, even during the Shinobi World War, it was rare for ninjas to invade the territories of other major powers. This was because ninjas could not directly benefit from the act of conquering territory; taxes and other revenues had to pass through the daimyo's hands, and then it depended on whether the daimyo would increase military spending.
