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

Chapter 85 Another Attack

The relationship between ninja villages and daimyo varies from country to country; some villages are dominant while others are suppressed by the daimyo.

For example, the Land of Fire has a power struggle between the two daimyo, with the Hokage clearly having more influence than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. The Daimyo of the Land of Wind frequently cuts the military budget of the Sand Village, clearly holding the dominant position.

The relationship between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is said to be very close, and it is even said that the two are closely related by blood.

This is probably why the Hidden Cloud Village directly occupied the Land of Fire's territory to help the Land of Lightning expand its territory. I believe that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will definitely give them a satisfactory reward in the future.

After learning about the enemy's situation, Orochimaru did not rush to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village. Instead, he also began to build his own camp, as if he was preparing for a protracted war.

It wasn't that Orochimaru didn't want to get rid of the Cloud Ninja sooner; it was simply that the Cloud Ninja's strength and unity far surpassed those of the Sand Ninja. In addition, their morale was high and they had many skilled fighters, so he really wasn't confident.

Konoha has already lost once, with over 3000 ninjas killed. If they lose again, there's no point in fighting anymore; they might as well just surrender this time.

However, only a day had passed, and the camp was only half-built, with the outer walls completed, when the entire Cloud Ninja army was mobilized and appeared on the outskirts of the Konoha camp.

"As expected of the Cloud Ninja, they came out as soon as they received the news. Are they going to have a final battle with us?!"

Standing on the city wall, Orochimaru looked at the distant, faintly visible group of at least several hundred ninjas and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The fighting style of the Cloud Ninja is very similar to their ninjutsu. They are best at blitzkrieg and mobile warfare. Since the camp is not yet fully built, Orochimaru doesn't really want to fight them.

But he certainly couldn't allow these Cloud Ninjas to spy from the outside; the best approach would naturally be to find a way to drive them away.

Soon, Orochimaru issued orders to form dozens of combat squads to drive the spying Cloud Ninjas away from the area around the camp.

Uchiha Touyu was naturally involved in this matter as well, but looking at the three little burdens behind him, Uchiha Touyu couldn't help but frown.

Kakashi was somewhat useful, but he probably couldn't keep up with Uchiha Tou's killing speed. As for Obito and Rin, they were just pure hindrances.

"Kakashi... never mind. I remember you and Obito both have wind-style chakra. In that case, I'll teach you a ninjutsu. It'll give you a better chance of survival on the battlefield."

After saying that, Uchiha Touyu ignored Kakashi and the others' expressions and directly taught them the Camouflage Concealment Technique.

In Uchiha Tou's view, going to the battlefield to kill enemies and make merits are all secondary. The primary goal is of course to survive. And the Camouflage Invisibility Technique, which has the ability to become invisible, is undoubtedly the top ninjutsu for surviving.

Furthermore, after Kakashi received the complete inheritance of the White Fang Sword Technique, he also learned the Wind Release: Entanglement Technique. Based on that technique, he could easily master the Camouflage Concealment Technique.

Of course, even if Kakashi had some basic skills and amazing talent, it would probably take him several days to master the Camouflage Concealment Technique. As for Obito Uchiha, he was a novice before he awakened his Sharingan, so it's hard to say whether he could even master it.

However, Uchiha Tou didn't care about all that. If Obito was unlucky and died on the battlefield, it might actually be a great thing for the entire ninja world!

"Alright, Kakashi, when we go back to the battlefield, you take care of these two. I'm going to hunt down other ninja teams."

After saying that, Uchiha Hiyu directly controlled Hatake Sakumo's soul and merged it into the White Fang short sword in Kakashi's hand. This way, if they really encountered danger, Hatake Sakumo could possess him and fight for them.

It was only because of Sakumo Hatake that Touya Uchiha was taking such good care of Kakashi; otherwise, he would have just taught three people a ninjutsu and then left for the battlefield.

After leaving the camp, Uchiha Touyu immediately entered hunting mode. His figure became fainter and fainter, and in just three or four steps, he disappeared without a trace.

"Gone...gone...How come Feiyu is completely gone?"

Kakashi felt extremely embarrassed by Obito Uchiha's gaping, surprised expression. He muttered in a low voice:

"Have you forgotten? The camouflage concealment technique he just taught us is a ninjutsu that allows us to become invisible."

"Of course, to the point where one can become completely invisible while in action is indeed quite impressive."

"But the most important thing right now... is to save our own lives!"

As Kakashi finished speaking, Obito Uchiha finally reacted, and with a mournful face, he said:

"What kind of Jonin leads a team like this? What kind of nonsense is this, just dumping us here?"

"Are you scared?!"

"Who...who's scared? But even if I'm not scared, isn't Lin here? What if Lin gets into danger?"

Nohara Rin chuckled softly and said:

"Don't worry, Obito. The mission Tobi gave us is just to save our lives, so there's no need for us to stray too far from the camp. I don't believe there are many Cloud Ninja nearby..."

After getting rid of the three burdens, Uchiha Hiu was finally able to act freely. This time, he no longer used Lightning Release for acceleration, but instead switched to Wind Release for invisibility.

After all, the opponent was the Cloud Village, and the leader of the Cloud Village always took the lead and liked to be at the forefront as the vanguard.

Other ninja villages' Kage-level ninjas are unlikely to rush into the battlefield immediately after the start of a war; they are usually reserved as their last trump cards. However, for the Cloud Village, sending out their top two ninjas at the beginning is practically their most normal tactic.

Although Uchiha Tou and Hatake Sakumo have improved the Lightning Release Stimulation Technique attached to the White Fang Sword Technique, they are probably still not as fast as the Third and Fourth Raikage. If they were to encounter this pair of kings, Uchiha Tou would be in real danger.

For Uchiha Tou, who believed in safety first, he certainly wouldn't dare use the Lightning Release: Stimulation Technique in this situation. Instead, he used the Camouflage Concealment Technique to carry out the assassination.

Even while invisible, Uchiha Hiu's speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. Like a silent, elusive ghost, he moved at lightning speed toward a ninja squad he sensed.

Several Cloud Ninja had set up a trap and were lying in ambush in the forest, a route that the Leaf Village ninja team was very likely to take.

A rustling sound came from the forest. Even though Uchiha Hiyu could suppress the sound he made, the sound of his body hitting branches and leaves could not be eliminated in this dense forest. After hearing the sound, a Cloud Ninja raised his head, seemingly wanting to look around.
