Chapter 61: Sneaking In

When Uchiha Feiyu realized that he was the only true top-tier powerhouse on the battlefield during this period, the tiny thought he had from the very beginning rapidly expanded.

As early as when he first encountered those injured Leaf Ninja and saw how tragic the battle situation was, a thought had flashed through Uchiha Feiyu's mind:

Chiyo had lost an arm, Pakura could not fully recover in a short time, and if the Fourth Kazekage's injuries were also extremely severe, wouldn't he be able to directly raid the Sand Ninja base camp?

However, things were even more perfect than he had imagined; the Fourth Kazekage had been poisoned by the Silver-Scaled Poisonous Snake and was on the verge of death, and Pakura had dragged her injuries to fight Orochimaru, meaning she would not be able to recover within a few days. To him, the current Sand Ninja were simply a thin-skinned, stuffed dumpling!

After chatting with Orochimaru for a few moments, Uchiha Feiyu did not hide his thoughts, indicating that he was prepared to go to the Sand Ninja village's camp to do something.

Orochimaru was slightly stunned. In fact, from Orochimaru's own perspective, it was highly likely that the Fourth Kazekage could not be saved. Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for the Sand Ninja village to have any thoughts of fighting; if they dragged it out for a while, the opponent would likely collapse without a fight.

However, the current Leaf was facing enemies on many fronts, and it was said that Kumogakure was also restless, so it would be good to end the battle sooner.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru nodded:

"If that is the case, do you need to bring other ninja to help?"

"No need, if I act alone, perhaps I will be more flexible!"

As Uchiha Feiyu obtained more and more ninja Souls, he gradually tended toward being all-encompassing. He had already acquired Sensory Ninjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu, which made his reliance on ninja squads lower and lower.

He alone was equivalent to an all-encompassing ninja squad!

……

Thirty miles west of Kikyo Pass was the temporary camp of the Sand Ninja village.

Such a temporarily constructed camp naturally could not compare to a true main base. Although some sentry posts and simple Barriers had been designed, the Barrier and sentry system established in just one night was naturally full of loopholes.

With so many Souls in hand, Uchiha Feiyu had also dabbled in Sealing Technique and Barrier Technique. Most importantly, these Sand Ninja Souls themselves were very familiar with their own home's Barriers, so he naturally found the loopholes and mixed in with ease.

"Where should I start?"

Looking at the interior of the current Sand Ninja camp, one could only see earth houses that looked like bunkers; this was also the architectural habit of the Sand Ninja. This kind of semi-circular house could withstand sandstorms in the desert to the greatest extent.

"Speaking of which, these ninja guys are really perverted when it comes to infrastructure. It's just a temporary base established in a mere day; even in modern society, people would usually just make do with tents."

However, it was normal to think about it. Earth Release was the second most common type of ninjutsu in the Land of Wind after Wind Release. Out of ten Sand Ninja, about three possessed the Earth attribute. If each person cast one ninjutsu, this entire camp would be more or less built.

It was just that this kind of camp had one problem, which was that most of the rooms were exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell where the commander was.

Right now, the only person in the entire camp who posed a bit of a threat to Uchiha Feiyu was Pakura. If he could launch a sneak attack and directly severely injure Pakura, there would be no more powerhouses in the entire camp who could threaten him.

In that case, while it might be difficult to kill all the Sand Ninja in the camp with his own strength, as long as he picked them off one by one—raiding once today, raiding once tomorrow—within ten days, Uchiha Feiyu could wipe out all the Sand Ninja!

A Shadow-level Ninja was already terrifying enough, and a ninja like Uchiha Feiyu, who was fast and could also use stealth, was the natural enemy of ordinary, numerous ninja troops.

Unable to find him, unable to catch him, and retreating after a chaotic slaughter—without a high-level expert of the same rank to hold him back, as long as this happened three or five times, even if the ninja were well-trained and unafraid of death, the end result would be a camp collapse.

Casting the Camouflage Concealment Technique, Uchiha Feiyu quietly patrolled the camp, wanting to find Pakura's location.

However, just as he walked halfway, his Soul Perception sensed the presence of another familiar Soul. His face immediately lit up with joy, and he walked over quietly.

"Elder Chiyo, the poison on Lord Kazekage..."

"I'm sorry, this old woman is also powerless... This kind of snake poison cultivated by Orochimaru is simply too fierce."

"Even if I exhaust all my means, I can at most let Lord Kazekage live for a while longer, at most no more than a month. Lord Kazekage..."

"What kind of toxin is it exactly? You are the strongest Medical Ninja in the Land of Wind! Even in the entire Ninja World, only Tsunade among the Legendary Sannin could surpass you, right? How could there be a toxin that even you cannot solve?"

Chiyo's voice carried a bit of helplessness as she spoke bitterly:

"The toxin on Lord Kazekage is completely different from ordinary deadly poisons. It seems to be mixed from hundreds or thousands of types of snake venom, with extremely subtle changing reactions between them, and the erosion speed is extremely fast. Normal methods can hardly resolve it."

"To completely resolve this toxin, either use the Chakra Scalpel to extract a large amount of blood from the body for a blood transfusion at the very beginning before the toxin begins to spread, or the ninja who cultivated this toxin must be able to cultivate a specifically targeted antidote."

"If you want to slowly remove the toxin, it would take at least a year or a half to analyze these toxins and formulate a corresponding antidote, but Lord Kazekage cannot even hold on for a month now."

"Even... even if the toxin is removed, the chakra in Lord Kazekage's body has already been completely eroded by the deadly poison. He won't be able to be a ninja in the future!"

"How could this be..."

Uchiha Feiyu listened for a moment, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a smile. He hadn't expected that the Silver-Scaled Poisonous Snake would actually have the effect of eroding chakra.

Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. In the original Legend of the Condor Heroes, after Hong Qigong was bitten by a snake, although he forced out the snake venom relying on his exquisite internal power, he himself had his internal power completely crippled and became a disabled person. Later, he only recovered his internal power by relying on the Nine Yin Manual.

The internal power in Jin Yong's martial arts was far inferior to chakra in many aspects, but it was far superior in terms of health preservation and strengthening resistance to toxins. Since internal power at the level of the Five Greats couldn't withstand this snake venom, ordinary chakra naturally couldn't withstand the ravages of the snake venom.

If it weren't for the fact that Shadow-level powerhouses had tenacious vitality and had Chiyo, a master of toxicology, helping to detoxify, the Fourth Kazekage would have probably kicked the bucket long ago. Even so, it was only a matter of time before this guy died completely.
