The ground shook violently.
A massive crack and a river of molten lava instantly swallowed nearly half of the Evil God Sect's elite forces.
Without even a scream, they were melted away.
The Evil God Sect elites who managed to dodge in time were shocked. They immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to jump out of the range of the combined jutsu and regrouped nearby.
Uchiha Shi seized this opportunity and suddenly swung his sword, Uchiha Style: Shun's Air Slash!
A moon-like arc of light appeared, In an instant, the long sword cut through six spears, three Fire Release: Fireball jutsu, and one Wind Release: Wind Blade.
When it reached the seventh spear, the blade snapped with a crack.
However, getting this far was enough.
Uchiha Shi tilted his head slightly, dodging the last black spear that whizzed past his face.
Then, he took off running, no longer concerned with how to cut through the sixteen remaining Evil God Sect elites.
Terumi Mei, seeing him approach, immediately formed hand seals, Boar-Snake-Goat.
Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu.
She opened her cherry lips and exhaled, instantly creating a thick fog that obscured everything.
Terumi Mei's Hidden Mist Jutsu was even more advanced than Zabuza Momochi's in the future, capable of buying time for her teammates even in front of Itachi Uchiha's Rinnegan.
The thick fog quickly enveloped the entire area, stripping away the vision of all the Evil God Sect elites.
"What is this?"
"The fog is so thick, I can't see anything!"
"It's the Hidden Mist Village shinobi. How did they find us here?"
"Has our plan been exposed?"
Seeing this, the leader of the Evil God Sect elites frowned, lowering the Lightning Release Spear he was holding.
He immediately shouted to steady the troops, "Don't panic!"
"Wind Release ninja, use your jutsu to disperse the fog!"
"Everyone, head to the entrance of the cave and hold the line. Don't give them a chance!"

The thick fog rose and gradually spread, covering half the castle.
The sunlight scattered in the fog, making the entire ancient castle seem like a dream, with its blurry outline tinged with a golden edge.
Even with his Sharingan activated, Uchiha Shi's field of vision was severely limited.
At that moment, A delicate hand grabbed his wrist, pulling him to change positions and move away from the original spot.
"Let's go! We're heading inside the castle. I've already found where they're keeping Fugaku."
Terumi Mei spoke as she ran, sharing her findings, "Besides, things are more dangerous here than we thought."
"The Evil God Sect members are gathering outside, and there are three more teams trailing behind, led by one of the few Jōnin from the Hot Water Village. And that guy isn't wearing a missing-nin headband."
"This is too strange. The core members of this organization are all from the same village."
"Are they the Evil God Sect, or the Hot Water Village?"
Uchiha Shi pondered for a moment, unable to figure out what was wrong, and shook his head.
"Let's stick to the plan."
With that, the two climbed up the inner wall of the castle in the thick fog.
At this point, they had finally shaken off the Evil God Sect's pursuers and achieved their objective.
However, An unexpected person
was already waiting on the inner wall of the castle.
This person was dressed in unique combat attire, with purple cords tied around his waist, black hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eyeliner extending to his nose, pale skin, and wearing blue-green jade earrings.
Seeing the two climb up the wall, he laughed in a hoarse voice, "Hehehe."
"What a surprise, a Hidden Mist Village shinobi and an Uchiha, coming here together."
Uchiha Shi and Terumi Mei's pupils contracted simultaneously.
This person was none other than the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru!
Orochimaru, though smiling, cast a cold, chilling gaze that made them feel as if they were in an icy hell. His gaze slowly crawled over them, like a venomous snake about to strike.
An invisible aura of killing intent spread silently.
Under this killing intent, Uchiha Shi merely frowned, quickly regaining his composure.
Based on the timeline, after the Second Great Shinobi War, Orochimaru had witnessed the deaths of Tsunade's brother Nawaki, Dan, and her parents, feeling the fragility of life.
He had a desperate desire for immortality.
During this period, he had already infiltrated Konoha's forbidden jutsu base and studied a large number of forbidden techniques.
He had also found his own path.
The key to his plans was the Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation) jutsu, which required the Shennong's forbidden technique of rapid regeneration to perfect.
Moreover, there was no hostility displayed towards them, indicating that Orochimaru was not particularly concerned about them.
Thus, his current target was not them, but Shennong.
Orochimaru glanced coldly at the two, not caring why an Uchiha was here.
It was no secret that the Uchiha clan took on external missions, maintained a family of shinobi, and had a long-term mission to guard the Hell Valley in the Land of Hot Water.
What was more interesting to him was the interaction between this Uchiha and the young noble of the Hidden Mist Village.
However, at that moment, he had more pressing matters. Without wasting words, he looked directly at Uchiha Shi and asked coldly, "I received intelligence that a doctor has been following you."
"Hooded, gray hair, yellow coat."
"Tell me, where is he now?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Shi thought it was indeed as he suspected. However, Shennong had saved his life, and he would not betray him.
At this moment, he merely met Orochimaru's gaze coldly, sneered, and said, "I don't know."
As the second-in-command of Anbu Root, Orochimaru was naturally opposed to the Uchiha clan.
Moreover, if Orochimaru were to attack him now, it would most likely be classified as an unexpected event.
After all, Orochimaru was unpredictable, a mass murderer, and obsessed with research.
If he suddenly decided to capture an Uchiha for experimentation, it would be understandable.
Therefore, Uchiha Shi was not afraid of him.
I have health insurance, so I can speak with confidence!
Orochimaru, hearing this, narrowed his eyes, his golden pupils taking on a dangerous gleam.
[Orochimaru thinks you are courting death.]
"Is that so?" He laughed coldly, extending his long tongue to lick his lips, his gaze becoming increasingly meaningful as he looked at Uchiha Shi.
"I hope you can still be so defiant later."
Uchiha Shi shook his head, smiled slightly, and opened his crimson Sharingan, looking at Orochimaru calmly, "I have always preferred a hard approach."
"What, Orochimaru, are you planning to attack me?"
As Uchiha Shi's words fell, the atmosphere in the field became increasingly tense, and a sense of hostility began to rise, as if it could explode at any moment.
Hearing Uchiha Shi call him by his name without even the courtesy of 'Sama' (Lord), Orochimaru's smile became even colder and more meaningful.
His golden vertical pupils were now completely devoid of any other emotion, cold and lifeless.
He looked at Uchiha Shi as if he were already a corpse.
[Orochimaru wants to dissect your brain for research.]

This chapter has been revised. The Evil God Sect plot has been dragging on a bit, and the sections about grinding small enemies to improve skills have been a bit watered down. I need to speed things up.
Readers, if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know in the group.
I will make changes where I can. It's hard to write without any feedback. (Sad)
A gentle request for more follows.
