Chapter 32: Anbu Notification

At the beginning, when Uchiha Feiyu first obtained the Book of Demonic Inheritance, he had indeed worked hard for a period of time, wanting to extract more information from the book.

Unfortunately, all efforts were ultimately in vain; the Book of Demonic Inheritance residing in his mind did not interact with the outside world at all, and Uchiha Feiyu did not know how to obtain information from it.

"Looking at it now... it's because I hadn't killed anyone before; otherwise, I probably would have discovered the characteristics of this book long ago."

"That's right, it is called the Magic Dao Inheritance Compendium, after all; using human lives as sacrifices is simply the most normal thing."

"I just don't know if the requirement for this sacrifice must be human, or if all intelligent beings will do? Besides humans, the Naruto World has quite a few intelligent species like Summoned Beasts."

"I have finished off those fierce beasts before, and although they were much smarter than ordinary wild animals, they definitely couldn't be counted as an intelligent species, at least not to the point of being able to speak."

While pondering in his heart, Uchiha Feiyu did not hesitate to sacrifice all three wisps of Black Qi on the Altar; instantly, the massive Book of Demonic Inheritance in his mind trembled slightly, revealing a sliver of information.

"Cultivation method for the Silver-Scaled Poisonous Snake? What kind of nonsense is this?"

Closing his eyes to absorb the content of the information, a look of obvious dissatisfaction appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face; the content provided by the Book of Demonic Inheritance this time clearly did not satisfy him much.

As for the so-called Silver-Scaled Poisonous Snake, after Uchiha Feiyu carefully discerned it, he managed to figure out the origin of this type of snake.

It originated from the Legend of the Condor Heroes, a strange and highly poisonous snake cultivated by the Western Poison Ouyang Feng; the Iron Staff in Ouyang Feng's hand was coiled with two such Silver-Scaled Poisonous Snakes, which were not only as hard as metal, unafraid of blades or spears, but also incredibly poisonous—even an expert of the level of the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong would almost lose his life if bitten once.

One must know that in terms of resisting deadly poison, the effect of internal energy is even greater than that of chakra; in terms of poison resistance alone, Hong Qigong surpassed even the average Shadow-level powerhouse.

The cultivation method for this kind of strange, highly poisonous snake was indeed useful if one said it was useful, but to Uchiha Feiyu, it could only be considered a piece of waste paper.

"Perhaps if I give this thing to Orochimaru, I can trade it for something good? If only I could get in touch with Ryuchi Cave; that bunch of snake demons would probably pay a significant price for this piece of waste paper."

The strange snakes cultivated by Ouyang Feng were not only incredibly poisonous and impervious to blades, but their speed and intelligence were also far superior to ordinary snakes; otherwise, they could not have complemented his Spirit Snake Staff Technique.

Being able to cultivate ordinary poisonous snakes into exotic beasts—if one added the variable of chakra, perhaps one could really create some kind of incredibly powerful Summoned Beast snake king; if Uchiha Feiyu brought out this cultivation method, he might be able to trade for a Summoning Contract from Ryuchi Cave.

"I remember that the big snakes at Ryuchi Cave are entirely about the law of the jungle; every time Orochimaru has a fight, at least dozens or hundreds of poisonous snakes have to die... If I had that Summoning Contract, I would go to Ryuchi Cave every day to devour souls; my physique, chakra, and spirit would likely skyrocket."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feiyu was no longer dejected; although he did not know this guy Orochimaru yet, wanting to find this famous ninja to make a trade probably wouldn't be a difficult matter.

Compared to Tsunade and Jiraiya, Orochimaru did not care much about the Summoning Contract of Ryuchi Cave; Anko, Kabuto, and Sasuke Uchiha had all obtained contracts from Ryuchi Cave, and at the same time, Ryuchi Cave did not care about its contractors.

This was undoubtedly good news for Uchiha Feiyu; if it were the other two of the Legendary Sannin and their summoning holy lands, obtaining a contract would likely not be possible through trade alone.

A swishing sound came, and the expression on Uchiha Feiyu's face changed; in an instant, a short blade was in his hand, tracing a lightning-fast arc and pinning directly into the shoulder of the suddenly appearing ninja:

"Who is it? Who are you?!"

"Wait, I am an Anbu of the Leaf! It is the Hokage, there is something to notify you about!"

The ninja wearing an animal mask showed no expression, but both their voice and movements revealed a hint of panic, and fresh blood was faintly seeping from the shoulder pierced by the blade.

"Is being Anbu something to be proud of! Can an Anbu ninja just skip the front door and climb through a window? If I put on this Anbu outfit, can I just go into people's houses and rummage through their things too?!"

Uchiha Feiyu did not indulge this habit of the Anbu; he gave this guy a good scolding as soon as he caught him, and the Anbu before him could not even talk back—after all, they were just delivering a notice, and climbing through someone's window was definitely unjustifiable if one really wanted to talk about it.

It was just that ordinary ninjas had long been accustomed to this intrusion by the Anbu, and coupled with their fear of Anbu ninjas, they naturally would not have any complaints; unfortunately, this time they had run into a tough nut like Uchiha Feiyu.

"I... I didn't have that intention..."

"Then why didn't you knock on the door when you came in? You are just here to notify me of news, not to arrest me; do you not even have that bit of respect?"

"Uh..."

The Anbu ninja was speechless; Uchiha Feiyu kept a cold face, blasted this unlucky fellow out, and subsequently headed toward the Hokage Building.

"That old man, the Third Hokage, is looking for me again... probably because of those few ninjas I finished off, right?"

Uchiha Feiyu's thoughts turned slightly, and he immediately guessed the reason for the Third Hokage seeking him out; the strength he displayed in battle was truly excessively powerful, and now that the Leaf was in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, it naturally needed a Power Level like his.

"Nowadays, the initial clashes of the battle with the Sand Ninja have ended, and it has almost entered a lull period; the battlefield is no longer as dangerous as it was at the beginning."

"If the time drags on and other major Ninja Villages get involved, I will probably have to go to other fronts; by comparison, the Sand Ninja Village battlefield can already be considered safe."

During the time he was walking toward the Hokage Building, Uchiha Feiyu was also constantly convincing himself; in reality, he knew very well that the reason he had changed his mind was entirely due to the changes in the Book of Demonic Inheritance.

Being able to use the lives of intelligent beings as a price for sacrifice to obtain the knowledge of the Book of Demonic Inheritance—this was the real reason Uchiha Feiyu changed his mind.

For Uchiha Feiyu, who did not care about the Leaf, fleeing the battlefield directly was not a big problem; with his current strength, as long as he kept a low profile, his safety factor could be fully guaranteed.

The Leaf, which was currently waging war, could not possibly entangle itself endlessly with a powerful ninja who neither knew any secrets nor had caused them any harm; after a few years, even if the war ended, the Leaf would likely have no heart to go looking for Uchiha Feiyu.

The only reason he abandoned the safe route was that he used to be exerting effort for the Leaf during the war, whereas now he was exerting effort for himself.

If he could obtain enough Black Qi of death for sacrifice, it was not impossible to obtain some Demonic Arts from an Immortal Cultivation world and completely change his destiny.
