I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

One is the threat posed by Nono's offensive capabilities.

No matter how insightful you are, you will always make mistakes.

Compared to Mieko Uchiha's attacks, Nono's attacks were undoubtedly more lethal.

This made Uchiha Mieko dare not relax in the slightest.

The constant tension took a heavy toll on her mental energy.

Another factor is external pressure.

Chapter 79 The Price of Greed

With her companions dying one after another until she was the only one left, the pressure on Uchiha Mieko was unimaginable.

The pressure intensified, especially when she caught sight of Naraku and Sasori in the distance.

Although Naraku and Sasori did not make a move, their mere presence was enough to instill a chilling sense of oppression in Uchiha Mieko.

escape! !

The invisible pressure made it almost impossible for Mieko Uchiha to breathe.

Looking at the exceptionally tenacious Nono on the other side.

They were watching Naraku and Sasori, who were eyeing them menacingly from not far away.

The thought of escaping involuntarily surfaced in Mieko Uchiha's mind.

It wasn't that she lacked the dignity of the Uchiha clan, nor that she didn't want to avenge her comrades; it was simply that her current situation left her with absolutely no hope.

Once the thought of escaping took hold, it could no longer be suppressed.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

With a sudden leap, Uchiha Mieko quickly formed hand seals, squeezing out her last remaining chakra, and spat out dozens of fireballs from her mouth.

Some of these fireballs were aimed at Nonou on the opposite side, but most were directed at Naraku and Sasori not far away.

After unleashing her Fire Release technique, Uchiha Mieko, upon landing, immediately unleashed her maximum chakra and sped off in the opposite direction into the distance.

A casual wave.

As the fireball flew towards him, Sasori was about to make his move when a giant chakra arm materialized behind Naraku.

With a casual palm strike, all the incoming fireballs were scattered.

"How could we let you escape!"

Naraku's gaze fell on Uchiha Mieko, who was trying to escape, and he raised his hand in a sword-pointing gesture.

thunderbolt!

A bolt of lightning shot out in an instant, traversing the distance between them, and pierced through the chest of Uchiha Mieko, who was already at her last gasp.

A scream.

Uchiha Mieko's face showed resentment, but she was powerless to change the situation. She immediately collapsed to the ground and quickly lost her life.

The lightning dissipated from the sword's point.

Naraku calmly lowered his right hand.

His original intention was to use the other person to train Nonou, but the other person chose to run away at the end. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to end the training early.

Anyway, there's nothing to regret.

After all, the battle just now had already provided excellent training for Nonou.

"Is it over? Phew, the Uchiha are indeed difficult to deal with. If I didn't have a lot of information about them, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold out until now."

Mieko Uchiha's final fire jutsu failed to hold off Naraku and Sasori, and also failed to harm Nono.

After dodging the incoming fireballs, Nonou, who had originally intended to give chase, discovered that the enemy had already been dealt with by 'Naraku'. She immediately gave up and sat down on the ground to catch her breath.

Looking at the corpse of Uchiha Mieko not far away, Nono, after recovering her strength, still felt lingering fear as she recalled the battle with her opponent.

Battles between ninjas are not just a contest of raw strength, but also a battle of intelligence.

Sometimes, the latter is even more crucial than hard power.

The fact that the battle between Nono and Uchiha Mieko has lasted this long is largely due to the intelligence they have gathered.

Thanks to Danzo's fear of the Uchiha clan, Nonou had a thorough understanding of the Uchiha's fighting style.

Elite Jonin like Uchiha Mieko are especially important targets for the Root organization's intelligence gathering efforts.

"Let me heal you, otherwise when the original body returns, it might blame me for not protecting you well."

Naraku approached, making sarcastic remarks as he came up behind Nonou and used his "Healing Palm Technique" to treat her.

“The mindset of a shadow clone is inherited from the original body, so your judgments are no different from those of the original body.”

After receiving treatment from the "Palm Healing Technique," Nono's pain was immediately relieved, and she even had the energy to chat with "Naraku."

"The Sharingan, the Uchiha clan has really been screwed over by Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi this time."

Inside the Star Shadow Pavilion, Naraku, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the pairs of Sharingan eyes stored in glass containers on the coffee table.

When he returned to Hoshinin Village, the battle between Nono and the others had already ended, but thanks to feedback from his shadow clones, he still learned what had happened immediately.

He didn't expect that in addition to capturing Huang Tu and Han, he would also gain fourteen pairs of Sharingan eyes from Nono and the others.

The reason there are only fourteen pairs of Sharingan is that the remaining three pairs were damaged in battle.

Fortunately, the five best pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan have been well preserved.

Among the many ninja clans, the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly one of the wealthiest and most powerful, with numerous skilled members.

However, losing five elite Jonin and twelve Jonin at once is definitely a devastating blow to the Uchiha clan.

Using the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, Naraku has already read the relevant memories from the heads of Uchiha Gouka and the others, and knows the reason for their arrival.

Although according to Uchiha Gouka's memories, it was only Danzo who approached the Uchiha clan, it's obvious that Hiruzen Sarutobi was definitely involved.

The current outcome can only be described as being in the best interests of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

Similarly, he didn't lose out either, since he also gained fourteen pairs of Sharingan.

Therefore, it seems that only the Uchiha clan was ultimately injured.

Well, you could say that this is the price of greed.

"The Sharingan is considered one of the top bloodline limits, but this bloodline limit has a strong exclusionary nature. According to records left in Sunagakure, even if the Sharingan is obtained through transplantation, there will be side effects such as the inability to shut it down and severe chakra consumption."

Scorpion, having put away his Scarlet Luminous Amber and revealed his true form, sat on the opposite sofa.

He glanced at the Sharingan on the coffee table and, seeing that Naraku seemed quite interested in it, couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Organ-type bloodline limits like the Sharingan are often sought after by ambitious individuals who want to plunder them through transplantation.

The best example is the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

To prevent their white eyes from being taken away, this clan even developed the "Caged Bird" curse seal.

While the Uchiha clan did not reach this level, this was also due to the Sharingan's extremely strong exclusivity.

Just as Sasori said, even if an outsider were to have the Sharingan transplanted, there would still be various side effects.

Compared to the benefits of the Sharingan, these side effects seem to outweigh the benefits.

“There are also records about this within the Root organization!” Nono, sitting next to Naraku, nodded.

With the healing from the shadow clone, Nono's injuries have almost fully recovered.

Even after Naraku returned and nourished himself with his true energy, his physical strength had been restored.

Therefore, after a quick wash and change of clothes, Nono followed along to the office.

Naraku was well aware of what Sasori and Nonou had said.

Chapter 80 The Disposal of the Tailed Beasts

"Scorpion, you did very well this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Putting aside the Sharingan for the moment, Naraku smiled and looked at Scorpion opposite him.

Scorpion said, "As for a reward, I just need the leader to give me more pointers on puppet-making techniques in the future."

After undergoing practical testing, Sasori was very satisfied with the improved Third Kazekage and Hiruko.

But precisely because of this, he became even more eager to obtain more skills from Naraku.

"No problem!" Naraku readily agreed.

Seeing this, Scorpion was delighted, knowing that he would soon have new puppetry skills to learn.

"Tell me about Huang Tu and Han. Are we planning to negotiate with Iwagakure?" Nonou asked Naraku.

Nonou was naturally very happy that Naraku had been able to defeat the Iwagakure army.

Similarly, from the fact that Naraku didn't kill Huang Tu and Han, but instead captured them, she could roughly deduce Naraku's thoughts.

“Yes, Huang Tu is Onoki’s son, and Han is the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. I think no matter how stubborn Onoki is, he won’t dare to send troops to deal with us so easily now,” Naraku nodded and said.

He was just a person after all.
