I defected before Genocide Night

After leaving the scope of the Sound Ninja Village, Uchiha Taki did not immediately follow the instructions on the map and go to the canyon Orochimaru mentioned.

"Eight bullets!"

After activating the Mangekyō Sharingan, he used the pupil technique on the shadow under his feet.

Eight Bullet's ability is to pull the past self into the present time and space, that is, to create a clone.

Unlike the shadow clone technique, the clone summoned by consuming a large amount of kaleidoscope power can die instead of the main body.

Moreover, this clone has the qualifications to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

As the Eight Bullets were triggered, the clone climbed up from the shadow behind Uchiha Taki.

Without too many expressions, this clone opened the Sharingan.

It is a magatama state of Sharingan.

Obviously, since Taki's kaleidoscope power is only averagely developed, the clones he can create also have limitations in strength.

"hiss--"

When this clone appeared, Uchiha Taki clearly felt a stinging pain coming from his eyes.

What followed was a massive consumption of the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan eyes and a decrease in vision.

Just summoning a fragile clone actually consumed so much eye power.

Taki suddenly knew the consumption of the eight bombs.

After that, he pointed the chakra pistol at the clone's head and fired the three bullets.

Poof!

The bullet penetrated the clone's head, and the clone fell down and merged into the shadow at Taki's feet.

The pupil power he had consumed when creating the clone before was recovered by more than half after the clone was recovered by the three bombs.

"Eight Bullet!" Taki tried to use this eye technique again.

But this time the Eight Bullets didn't create a clone.

Uchiha Taki did not show any surprise.

The Eight Bullets have a cooling time and can only be used once a day.

This pupil technique will not complete its cooling until the clock strikes twelve o'clock at midnight.

After trying the Three Bullets and Eight Bullets, his attention shifted to the so-called agreement with Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru must have bad intentions."

Orochimaru himself is a contractor of Ryuji Cave, how could he ask others to help clean up the snakes?

I'm afraid Orochimaru knew he couldn't deal with him, so he used this method to make him offend the immortals of Ryūchi Cave.

The three secret realms of the ninja world, Mt. Myoki, the Shimogun Forest, and the Ryūchi Cave, have existed since Kaguya's era.

No one can say what level of power the three immortals possess.

Although he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Taki did not intend to use his own life to test the power of the White Snake Sage.

Although he has a clone created by his power, he can avoid death.

"But I can't ignore Orochimaru's request."

After all, it was an agreed thing, and if he went back on it first, Orochimaru would have an excuse to shirk it.

Of course, Uchiha Taki can also go back and continue to force Orochimaru to hand over what he wants.

But after all, Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas and masters many forbidden arts, so Uchiha Taki doesn't want to push him too hard.

To avoid any unexpected situation.

"Orochimaru only asked me to clean up the snakes, but he didn't ask me to kill them all."

After seizing the loophole, Uchiha Taki took action.

He first came to the location designated by Orochimaru - a canyon.

There are cracks in the middle of this canyon that lead straight to the ground. It is precisely because of the natural breath escaping from the cracks that so many big snakes are attracted here.

On the ground, there was mist everywhere. Even Taki, who had never practiced magic, understood that this was the rich natural energy leaking from Ryūchi Cave.

And in this lingering fog, a group of big snakes were entangled with each other and climbing on the ground.

Taki's appearance instantly alarmed the group of big snakes.

Without any communication, the snakes attacked him.

Swarms of snakes were coming from all directions. Even with Taki's current strength, seeing this scene made him feel a little numb.

It's not fear, it's disgust.

Contrary to his expectations, these snakes were more violent than imagined. As soon as they discovered him as an "intruder", the snakes directly attacked without any room for communication.

There are countless mountains of bones surrounding it, which seem to be left behind by humans who strayed into this canyon. But are there so many lost people?

These big snakes saw Uchiha Taki as if they were prey.

"The art of instantaneous body!"

Uchiha Taki quickly ducked to avoid the rushing snake.

He originally thought that these large snakes were related to Longdi Cave, and that they would have some wisdom and could communicate with each other.

His original intention was to make the big snake retreat temporarily through communication.

But now it seems that apart from their size, their wisdom and other aspects have not been significantly improved.

In this way, if you want to expel them, you can only think about the problem based on the habits of snakes.

Generally, snakes are more resistant to pungent smells.

Without too much hesitation, Uchiha Taki immediately left the canyon.

After many inquiries, he purchased a large amount of sulfur from the merchant and led the caravan outside the canyon.

The leader of the caravan transporting the sulfur looked at him: "Sir, the place ahead is occupied by those big snakes. We can't go any further."

In Tian Country, there are widespread rumors that there is a man-eating snake in this canyon.

People in Tian Country are afraid of this place.

Nodding, Uchiha Taki did not force them: "If you are afraid, just leave first."

The people in the caravan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ask for the balance.

Taki generously took out a box of banknotes from the scroll.

This was obtained by robbing the daimyo of Ta no Kuni before purchasing the sulfur.

Anyway, the daimyo of Ta no Kuni has long since died, and the one who is active now is obviously a subordinate of Orochimaru in disguise.

…

After the caravan left, Uchiha Taki touched the box that had a faint pungent smell and showed a nasty smile.

Soon, he was carrying wooden boxes filled with sulfur and heading towards the hillsides around the canyon.

After getting ready, he stuck his head out and looked down the canyon.

In the vision of the Sharingan, Taki saw the big snakes resting peacefully, with only a few of them rolling playfully.

"Haha, feel the crisis of doomsday!"

Glancing at the mountains of human bones, Uchiha Taki did not hesitate, raised his hand and threw the wooden boxes filled with sulfur into the canyon.

The wooden box fell from a height and broke into pieces.

The sulfur contained in the box suddenly poured out.

Soon, the snakes, feeling the pungent smell of sulfur, began to surge uneasily.

"not enough!"

Although Taki bought a huge amount of sulfur, it was impossible to fill the canyon, so if he wanted to exert the effect of sulfur, he had to use ninjutsu.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

As the big fireball appeared, a heat wave stirred up strong winds in the canyon.

Soon, swept by the strong wind, the smell of sulfur spread throughout the canyon.

Even Uchiha Taki standing on the edge of the canyon could feel some discomfort in his nose, let alone the snakes in the canyon.

The canyon floor, which was originally densely covered with snakes, was instantly cleared, leaving only empty rock and soil.

"It's not over yet!"

Staring at the Sharingan, Taki used the Fire Ball Jutsu again.

Cold air sinks and hot air rises, condensing into clouds and forming rainfall.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and raindrops are falling from the sky.

The sulfur in the canyon was soaked by the rain and completely integrated into the soil and rocks on the ground.

"mission completed!"

In the rain, Uchiha Taki, who didn't care whether he got wet or not, crossed his arms and nodded with satisfaction.

Later, he canceled the Sharingan state.

Now the canyon is filled with the smell of sulfur, and the snakes will not come out again in a short time.

Only after a long period of time, when the sulfur is washed away by rain, will the group of big snakes appear again.

"You can go back!"

Humming a song, Uchiha Taki walked leisurely in the rain.

"Who said you can leave?" An eerie female voice sounded behind him.
