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

Chapter 95 The Great Battle Begins

Under Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, the two returned to the Konoha Village camp in less than half a day by constantly teleporting.

At this moment, a large group of Cloud Ninja could be seen near the Konoha camp. However, Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique was incredibly fast, flashing past in an instant, which prevented the Cloud Ninja from intercepting them.

Back in the command center, Uchiha Touyu noticed that the atmosphere had become extremely tense, with all the Jonin looking serious and ready to go.

"Lord Orochimaru, we're back!"

As soon as Minato Namikaze entered the command room using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he immediately spoke up. Orochimaru glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly.

"You've done a good job. The mission was executed well. The Yunren barbarians were really quick to be provoked this time."

As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Hiu with a subtle look. Even a cold-blooded ninja like Orochimaru felt that directly attacking those disabled and wounded soldiers was going too far.

The main reason is that those disabled ninjas are no longer able to go to the battlefield and will only become a burden to the Cloud Ninja. Killing them would only anger the Cloud Ninja and there would be no benefit to be gained. That is why Orochimaru has such extra compassion.

However, Orochimaru had to admit that Uchiha Hiu's approach was indeed very effective in the current situation. Sure enough, the Cloud Ninja were immediately provoked into a decisive battle.

Ignoring Orochimaru's subtle gaze, Uchiha Touyu found a seat and asked:

"When are you planning to start the war?!"

"Tomorrow is fine. You guys can rest tonight and recharge!"

Ninjas are known for their swift and decisive actions. Early the next morning, all the Konoha ninjas in the camp were ready to go.

Standing at the forefront of the Konoha army was Orochimaru, the commander, with Minato Namikaze and Touya Uchiha on his left and right sides, respectively.

"Set off!"

With a wave of Orochimaru's hand, the ninja force that had been gathered together scattered like fleas, rushing out of the camp in a flurry.

Twenty miles outside the camp, the ninjas from Kumogakure had already arrived. Several sensory ninjas sensed the chakra aura of the main ninja force and quickly went to report to the Third Raikage.

"So those guys from Konoha are finally willing to fight us? Let's go, follow me, and crush them!"

With a wave of his hand, the Third Raikage's group of Cloud Ninja shouted and charged out aggressively behind their leader.

For ninjas, 20 kilometers is a short distance. By the time the ninjas on both sides can see each other face to face, the original ninja force has already scattered and formed small teams. This is the most common way for ninjas to fight.

"So, that cunning little snake-playing brat has finally emerged from your Konoha turtle shell?!"

The Third Raikage, standing at the front line with the AB team, looked at Orochimaru in front of him and said loudly with a laugh.

Because the previous ninja unit was completely wiped out by the Third Raikage's attack, Orochimaru's design of the camp this time was insane, adding layer upon layer of barriers, which is why the Third Raikage called it a tortoise shell.

"Heh, to be such a brazen bandit, you Cloud Ninja have truly broadened my horizons!"

"Enough nonsense! This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Your Konoha is no match for our Kumogakure, so naturally you should relinquish the benefits that don't belong to you!"

"Tsk, let's see who's the real deal then!"

Orochimaru wasn't some successor to the Will of Fire, and he also subscribed to the law of the jungle. Seeing this, he didn't bother with words, but simply formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground:

"Spiritual communication!"

As a plume of thick smoke billowed out, the enormous Manda appeared on the battlefield, though its appearance was now quite different from before.

Its original purple scales have now turned into a brilliant silver, and the two tiny horns on its head have taken on a bony, jade-like appearance. Most surprisingly, the venomous fangs in its mouth have now become crocodile-like serrated teeth.

Judging from its aura, Manda's strength is definitely much greater than before. Uchiha Touyu has never seen a real tailed beast, but in his mind, Manda is probably not much weaker than those weak tailed beasts.

"Did they use the same method they used to cultivate the Silver Scaled Venomous Serpent? I never imagined they could even successfully cultivate a giant serpent like the Ten Thousand Serpent!"

Upon seeing the Manda's shimmering silver scales, Uchiha Tou immediately understood the origin of this giant serpent's transformation.

However, it is estimated that only a genius like Orochimaru could improve the original cultivation method to this extent.

"Go, Manda! All the Cloud Ninja before you are your food!"

Orochimaru spoke softly, and Manda roared and charged forward without another word.

"Manda seems to have become quite obedient, which is probably due to Orochimaru's training..."

Watching Orochimaru and Manda rush towards the Third Raikage, Uchiha Touyu nodded slightly. It was good that Orochimaru had been strengthened; at least he could fight the Third Raikage for a while longer, giving him an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Uchiha brat, where are you looking?!"

Just then, a roar came, and the Fourth Raikage transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing directly towards Uchiha Touu!

"You big oaf, you think you're afraid of me?"

Uchiha Touyu, regaining his senses, let out a long laugh. His entire body crackled with lightning, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand gleamed with a pale light as he charged toward the Fourth Raikage.

"When the Thunder God meets Suzuki's Blade!"

With a lightning-wrapped iron fist swinging out, Uchiha Touyu suppressed the thought in his mind, "Isn't this just a straight punch?" and swung out the Kusanagi sword in his hand, which flashed with a dazzling white light.

As the two bolts of lightning collided, the air was shattered inch by inch. When the sword and fist made contact, the Fourth Raikage's expression suddenly changed.

The high concentration of Lightning Release chakra wrapped around the fist crumbled completely the moment it touched the Kusanagi sword. The cold blade instantly sliced ​​into the fist, skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones. It was no stronger than a piece of paper in front of that sharp blade, and instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist!

A piercing scream came from the Fourth Raikage's mouth. As a well-known tough guy in the entire Cloud Ninja, under normal circumstances, even if he were to be shattered to pieces, the Fourth Raikage would not be able to make such a scream. However, the damage to the soul caused by the evil energy brought pain that was ten times stronger than the damage to the physical body!
