Taking himself as an example, if he had his eye on a group of rogue ninja, it would take two or three weeks just to find them, regardless of whether he could defeat them or not.
If you're unlucky, it might even take a month or two to find one.
This "Heavenly Emperor" actually completed seven or eight bounty missions within a few months.
This shows that this "Heavenly Emperor" is not only powerful, but also has an incredibly terrifying intelligence-gathering ability.
There must be a powerful organization behind this guy!
Kakuzu was certain.
Turning his head, Kakuzu questioned the black market boss again.
"How's the matter I asked you to keep an eye on going?"
The black market owner shook his head and spoke with a hint of apology.
"Lord Kakuzu, the information you provided is far too little. We have inquired everywhere as you requested, but we still do not have a clear target."
"Keep asking!"
Kakuzu nodded slightly.
Kakuzu didn't really understand why the mysterious Tobi and the powerful leader in the organization suddenly wanted to find a mysterious strongman with special eyes.
The crucial point is that the opponent's eyes are not even one of the three known bloodline limit techniques in the ninja world.
The only descriptions of the mysterious powerful figure are that he has white hair and unusual eyes; other details are vague.
Based on his experience, with such vague information, it would be difficult to find the target if the other party concealed it slightly.
Therefore, he did not have high expectations for the black market.
……
On Uchiha Eiji's side, he was sitting on a cliff, eating grilled meat sprinkled with a secret barbecue seasoning while counting his "consumable income".
Just now, he dealt with a rogue ninja from Kirigakure who specialized in kidnapping wealthy businessmen's sons for ransom.
"Tch, Obito, in order to completely control Kirigakure, has started having Yagura Karatachi implement that so-called Blood Mist Village."
Uchiha Sho muttered something disdainfully.
Unexpectedly, what was thought to be a trivial task turned into such an important piece of information after a brief interrogation.
Sooner or later, the bloodline families of Kirigakure will unite to rebel against Yagura Karatachi.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that they were facing not only Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, but also Obito and Zetsu, who were lurking behind him. This doomed their plan to fail.
The Heavenly Court could consider accepting some of the bloodline ninjas who defected from Kirigakure.
These guys have nowhere to go, and each of them is quite strong.
Rather than letting them become rogue ninjas in the ninja world and harm others, it's better to let them join my great cause of reforming the ninja world.
While overjoyed, Uchiha Sō also began to ponder.
His superior strength was not the primary reason why he could complete bounty missions so efficiently.
Upon careful consideration, the real primary reason was that he continued to use his identities as the Minister of the Konoha Police Department and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, thus utilizing the powerful intelligence network of Konoha, the head of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, and the intelligence network of the Heavenly Court's Commerce Department.
These two intelligence networks complement each other, one focusing on merchants, nobles, and commoners, and the other on ninjas in the ninja world, allowing him to find the target he wants to find in a very short time.
Secondly, the Sharingan's Yin Release Dimensional Distortion distorts the space around him, granting him unparalleled flight speed, which is one of the key reasons why he can quickly complete bounty missions.
Without these two things, no matter how strong he is, he can only obediently follow Kakuzu's example and spend several weeks painstakingly searching for mission targets in the male ninja world.
However, the number of bounty missions is ultimately limited, and the "experimental materials" have been collected almost completely.
The remaining options are either too time-consuming or involve deep entanglements with the five great ninja villages, so he plans to return to Konoha first to start the Bloodline Completion Plan 2.0.
It's a pity we didn't run into Kakuzu!
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a wisp of white smoke rose up beside Uchiha Sō.
After the white smoke dissipated, a small black snake appeared in front of Uchiha Sō.
The little black snake then spoke to Uchiha Eboshi.
"Hiss, little elephant, a thousand taels of silver."
With a dark expression, Uchiha Elephant handed the little black snake a thousand taels of silver, then took a scroll from its mouth.
This little black snake is no ordinary creature; it comes from the Dragon Cave, one of the three holy lands of spirit beasts, and its name is "Xuanqing".
The spirit snakes of Ryūchi Cave are divided into two categories.
One type is large summoned beasts like Manda and Shinya, whose bodies are strengthened by violent natural energy.
One type, modeled after the White Snake Sage, focuses on the micro-manipulation of natural energy and the cultivation of Sage Chakra, with small summoning beasts represented by the three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave: Tashin-hime, Ichikishima-hime, and Takitsu-hime.
Xuanqing is considered to be the most talented sage among the sage snakes of the Wanshe and Xinya group.
This guy was so arrogant back then that he didn't even respect Orochimaru.
The reason why Uchiha Sho was able to sign a summoning contract with it in Ryuchi Cave was largely because Uchiha Sho used the Bloodline Completion Project to extract cells from other snakes in Ryuchi Cave and make a White Snake Sage bloodline evolution potion for Genqing.
Actually, at that time, the Uchiha Elephant Bloodline Replacement Project was at a critical stage, and more experiments were needed to obtain data in order to ensure the success rate of the project.
So what could be a better experimental subject than the Ryuchi Cave Summoning Serpent? It's resilient and durable!
Moreover, the way snakes shed their skin to evolve is remarkably similar to the bloodline completion of Uchiha Elephant.
It was this "White Snake Immortal Bloodline Evolution Potion" given to Xuanqing that made him extremely greedy.
The evolution of the bloodline of spirit beasts consumes a great deal of various materials, and Xuanqing cannot consume the resources of Dragon Land Cave indefinitely.
What else could it do?
The only thing left to suffer is the shaman, Uchiha Enoshiro.
Xuanqing's fees have all been standardized:
[One thousand taels for each message delivered.]
[Participate in the battle; one genin for 10,000 ryo, one chunin for 100,000 ryo, and one jonin for 1,000,000 ryo.]
Therefore, after Uchiha Sō awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he never summoned this "money-grubbing" guy.
Nobody's money grows on trees!
Chapter 68, Preparing to Defect
The only thing that could make Xuanqing actively seek him out through reverse spirit communication was a message delivered by Orochimaru.
Uchiha Ei slowly unfurled the scroll Orochimaru had given him, and several powerful characters instantly came into view.
"Return to Konoha immediately!"
These words seemed to carry an indescribable sense of urgency, causing Uchiha Sho to frown.
Is Orochimaru finally going to take that step and choose to defect?
In fact, Uchiha Sō had a vague premonition the moment Xuanqing rushed over.
After all, he left a shadow clone in the Konoha Police Department to keep a close eye on Konoha's movements.
Orochimaru apparently contacted him through Gensei only after seeing his shadow clone and confirming that Uchiha Samurai's main body was not in Konoha.
The only reason Orochimaru would act so hastily is that he has already made up his mind to defect.
Uchiha Sho secretly pondered that since Hiruzen Sarutobi had already designated Orochimaru as the "successor to the Hokage," he would inevitably have to "send Orochimaru away" first in order to solidify his own position.
The power struggles within Konoha's upper echelons have always been brutal and realistic; the bonds of master and disciple, the Will of Fire, all seem so pale and powerless in the face of these interests.
Uchiha Eiji looked disdainful and casually put the scroll away.
……
Tick, tick, tick...
The sound of dripping water echoed from the damp, dark passage, which greatly annoyed Uchiha Sō.
This pitch-black passage seemed to lead to an endless abyss, giving one a sense of foreboding.
He couldn't understand why Orochimaru insisted on setting up his laboratory environment in such a bizarre and perverse way.
Living and working in such a gloomy environment for a long time would likely cause a person's psychology to gradually become distorted and abnormal.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Uchiha Sō would never have been willing to come to Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Tread, step, step..."
In the silent passage, only the footsteps of Uchiha Xiang echoed.
He walked along the passage, silently considering everything that might happen next.
Finally, he reached the end of the passage and slowly pushed open the heavy door.
Behind the door was a spacious, bright, and well-equipped laboratory, where a figure in a white lab coat stood.
The figure turned around, revealing Orochimaru's slightly gloomy face.
"It's Elephant-kun!"
He shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Uchiha Xiang knew that Orochimaru was not in a good mood at the moment.
This is not hard to understand, after all, Orochimaru had considered his master-disciple relationship with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and did not want to put him in a difficult position. He even told Uchiha Sō that he was prepared to give up his chance to become the Fourth Hokage.
However, to everyone's surprise, even so, Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't tolerate him.
Orochimaru was filled with resentment and bitterness. He felt that he had given so much for Konoha, but in the end he was ostracized.
Although he collaborated with Danzo and did use some people from Konoha Village for experiments, these people were basically provided by Danzo's Root organization and had no direct connection with Orochimaru himself.
Orochimaru has never intentionally harmed a single villager of Konoha.
If that's the case, why could Hiruzen Sarutobi tolerate Danzo continuing to wreak havoc in Konoha, but not Orochimaru?
Was it simply because he threatened Hiruzen Sarutobi's chosen candidate for the Fourth Hokage?
Although Orochimaru didn't particularly care about the position of Fourth Hokage, it was insignificant compared to his great goal of immortality.
