Chapter 52: The Upcoming Decisive Battle

"The most important thing right now is still winning the war against Konoha. Because there has been no interference from that Konoha Ghost over this past month, our logistical supplies have finally recovered quite a bit, and we can carry out a major battle."

"Moreover, the faster this battle is fought, the better. Konoha's medical system is currently recovering as well. If it weren't for the Rock Ninja declaring war on them and tying up the vast majority of their energy, the Konoha camp would have already re-established its own medical system by now!"

Although the Sand Ninja killed off seventy or eighty percent of Konoha's precious medical ninja last time, as the number one Ninja Village in the Ninja World and the birthplace of medical ninjutsu, Konoha's reserve of medical ninja is still quite sufficient.

Added to the fact that the Ninja World War has only just begun and has not yet reached the stage of running out of ammunition and food, new medical ninja soon arrived at the front lines and began re-establishing field hospitals.

"According to our intelligence, in at most another week or two, Konoha's field hospitals will be re-established. In the future, we won't be able to find an opportunity as good as the last one!"

"Therefore, the best method is to conduct a decisive battle within this week and kill a large number of Konoha ninja!"

"It is fortunate that you have arrived at the front lines now, Pakura. You count as a fresh force, and with your help, our war will have a few more chances of victory!"

A Shadow-level powerhouse is a pivotal force in any war. Even if Pakura, as a Shadow-level, belongs to the entry-level tier, she still possesses sufficient deterrent power.

"I understand. I will cooperate with the main army's actions!"

Pakura nodded. Since she had already arrived, this great battle would certainly not be without her.

"Very good. Then the remaining problem is to find a way to fight a decisive battle with Konoha as soon as possible!"

Attacking the Konoha camp directly would be too disadvantageous. However, due to the professional nature of ninja, inciting a large-scale battle is never a difficult thing; one only needs to gather personnel and attack their weak points.

It is impossible for Konoha to watch idly as the Sand Ninja attack their homeland, so as long as the Sand Ninja make moves toward a large-scale advance, the other side will have no choice but to accept the challenge.

"Well done, Feiyu! The fact that the Sand Ninja haven't been able to collect enough supplies for these past two months is all thanks to you."

"I have also heard the name of that Scorch Style User, Pakura. In terms of strength, she is not much worse than the Fourth Kazekage. You are still young, and avoiding her sharp edge is a very correct choice."

Facing Uchiha Feiyu, who had returned to the camp without reporting, Orochimaru not only did not offer any reprimand but instead showered him with praise.

There was no helping it; the Uchiha Feiyu before him was the number one trump card of the current Konoha camp, so even if he slacked off during missions, Orochimaru would not be harsh.

Not to mention that even when Uchiha Feiyu slacked off, the quality of the missions he executed was far superior to that of an average Elite Jonin. Under such circumstances, Orochimaru naturally would not say anything more.

This also allowed Uchiha Feiyu's subordinates to breathe a sigh of relief. They did not have as big a heart as Uchiha Feiyu, and they were still a bit worried when they returned.

"Now that the other side has an additional Pakura, I estimate that Sunagakure will launch a decisive battle soon, right!"

Uchiha Feiyu began to inquire about intelligence directly, wanting to understand the situation of the Sand Ninja. At the very least, he needed to have a general idea of their movements.

"Because of your activity, Feiyu, the Sand Ninja are still not prepared for a decisive battle, at least they are still lacking in supplies. However, it is estimated that in at most a month or so, the Sand Ninja should launch an all-out attack."

"Otherwise, once the new field hospitals are repaired, the Sand Ninja's chances of winning will decrease significantly!"

"A month or so... then it seems I must train well!"

Uchiha Feiyu frowned slightly; this time was a bit tight!

To be honest, Uchiha Feiyu's gains during this period could be described as full. With the souls of a large number of Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja, he could push his ninjutsu to an extremely high realm in a short time.

For the same ninjutsu, the power that can be exerted is completely different. Just like the B-rank Fire Release in the hands of Madara Uchiha, the power exerted is at least ten times stronger than the B-rank Fire Release of an ordinary Chunin.

The difference here, besides the amount of chakra, also includes nature transformation and shape transformation of chakra, the understanding and optimization of ninjutsu structure, and some unique techniques for releasing ninjutsu. It is this all-around superiority that causes the power of the two to be worlds apart.

Every ninja, through long-term exploration, has their own understanding of ninjutsu and has more or less carried out chakra shape or nature transformations. Perhaps one person's knowledge is shallow and their training results are rough, but when this number reaches three digits, the accumulation of so many foundations has already laid the foundation for the Shadow-level.

Right now, Uchiha Feiyu has nearly 500 souls on hand. Most are souls of ninja he killed, and some are souls collected on the battlefield. They include Sand Ninja, Rock Ninja, and Konoha ninja, with all seven attributes complete. This also includes the souls of twenty or thirty Special Jonin and Jonin.

If he could digest all of their ninjutsu one by one, he would inevitably make rapid progress on the basics of these ninja and become a ninja like Sarutobi Hiruzen who is fully proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

However, even with the means of Soul Possession, wanting to fully digest the skills of so many souls is a long training time that would be calculated in years for Uchiha Feiyu.

Now they are in the middle of a war; where would there be so much time for Uchiha Feiyu to settle down?

But even so, a month or so is enough for the current Uchiha Feiyu to take another step forward.

The current Uchiha Feiyu, with the possession of Hatake Sakumo, is only one step away from the prime of the White Fang. After another month or so of training, he is confident that he can fully reproduce the full strength of the White Fang of the Leaf, and coupled with the Light-Weight Rock Technique and Camouflage Concealment Technique, he would even surpass him in skill pool depth and combat means.

As for his own strength, it is also roughly in the category of the stronger Elite Jonin. After training for another month, perhaps he can transform to the Quasi-Kage level.

(If I possess that kind of strength, even in the Ninja World War, there won't be many people who can threaten me!)

Returning to his residence, Uchiha Feiyu lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and appeared in a pitch-black space.

It stands to reason that the surrounding space was pitch black and should be difficult to see clearly, yet a pure black, thick book was floating in mid-air, completely unaffected by the surrounding black environment, appearing even more "dazzling" instead.

A black Altar appeared beneath the book, and wisps of messy Black Qi were constantly swirling on the Altar like headless flies, looking like a black ball of hemp thread.

Facing this kind of black thread ball that could give an ordinary person trypophobia, Uchiha Feiyu determined the number of Black Qi with just a single glance.

"Three hundred and forty-two wisps of Black Qi... have I killed that many ninja without realizing it?"
