The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 37 Orochimaru, have you ever heard of the Tenseigan?

"Should we storm Konoha Village?" Nagato fell silent for a moment.

His parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and the person who betrayed them, leading to the destruction of the Akatsuki, was also a Konoha ninja. His attitude towards Konoha was undoubtedly hostile. Yet, his teacher, Jiraiya, was a Konoha ninja.

His feelings for Jiraiya were rather complicated.

When he was young, Jiraiya saved his life, taught him ninjutsu, and taught him the importance of loving peace. In his heart, Jiraiya was always a special figure who was both a teacher and a father.

It can be said that the earliest Akatsuki organization's philosophy was inseparable from Jiraiya's influence.

However, while Jiraiya's ideas were correct, they were far too naive and out of step with the world, making them utterly impossible to realize.

This led to the first destruction of the Akatsuki organization, resulting in Yahiko's death and Nagato's crippling.

Even so, he never hated Jiraiya, nor did he want to confront him directly.

"Hey, leader, if you don't want to kill Jiraiya, just leave him to me to deal with," Uchiha An said very "considerately."

"If you really don't want to see him, that's even simpler. Just send a few beautiful women to seduce him before the big battle, delay him for a few days, and he'll definitely be late."

"So you really do know everything!" Nagato's face stiffened. He gave him a deep look, then shook his head and said, "Since we're going to destroy Konoha, we can't avoid the Sannin. I'll settle things with him myself."

"It began with him, and it will end with him."

"That works too." Uchiha An nodded noncommittally. "So, our deal is done?"

Nagato nodded solemnly.

"Okay! Once I recover, I will launch an attack on Konoha, destroy it, and take the Nine-Tails."

"Haha..." Uchiha An laughed heartily, the tomoe in his Sharingan spinning and transforming into a kaleidoscope shape. "Then what are we waiting for? Let me heal your injuries!"

He stood up, approached Nagato, placed his hand on Nagato's body, and converted all his eye power into Yang Release power, injecting it into Nagato's body.

"Hey, your body is really quite broken."

As soon as Uchiha An began treatment, he felt that Nagato's body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing every last drop of his Yang Release power.

His previous injuries were all healed in an instant under the effect of Yang Release, with an effect comparable to the First Hokage's Wood Release. It only requires a small amount of power to achieve a great effect.

However, Nagato's body was severely depleted. Even with the continuous infusion of Yang Release into him, Nagato's condition only improved slightly.

As he intensely activated his eye power, blood and tears began to flow from his left eye again. However, he didn't care at all and continued to desperately squeeze out chakra, forcefully converting it into Yang Release.

"Alright, that's enough for today!" Nagato flicked his wrist, sending Uchiha An a few steps back. "Your eyes need time to rest, and my body won't heal in a day or two either. There's no need to rush things."

"Xiao Nan, arrange a room for him to stay in. He will receive treatment once a day at this time. I think it won't be long before I recover."

Konan nodded, gave Uchiha An a grateful look, and gestured for him to follow behind.

"Alright, I'll wait patiently for a few days."

Uchiha An casually wiped away the tears from his eyes, squinted, and followed Konan out of the tower.

Konan found a clean room inside the tower and let Uchiha An stay there.

Uchiha An glanced at it casually and then asked:

"Hey, which room does Lord Orochimaru stay in?"

"He and I will be partners in the future, so we need to get to know each other better."

Xiao Nan gave him a deep look, asked nothing, simply pointed him in the right direction, and then took her leave.

As soon as Konan left, Uchiha An went out and strolled towards Orochimaru's room. When he arrived, he knocked on the door.

"Hey, Lord Orochimaru, I'm your good partner! I've come to play with you!"

The door opened, revealing Orochimaru's sinister face.

"Oh, it's An! I was just thinking about the information you gave me earlier!"

"Please come in!"

Orochimaru stepped aside, and Uchiha An strode in. Looking around, he saw that the place was clean and tidy, with books and scrolls scattered everywhere, but there were no experimental items. Clearly, his laboratory was not here.

He casually found a place to sit down, and Orochimaru sat opposite him, poured him tea, and without any formalities, went straight to the point:

"What were you referring to as the 'art of immortality' you mentioned before?"

Uchiha An leisurely took a sip of tea and said slowly and deliberately:

"Before that, let me tell Lord Orochimaru a story."

"The story of my Uchiha clan ancestors."

"Speaking of which, there was once a goddess named Rabbit... Later, she gave birth to two sons, one named Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and the other named Ōtsutsuki Hamura..."

"Later, Hagoromo Otsutsuki became the Sage of Six Paths and had two sons, one named Ashura and the other Indra..."

"And then, Hashirama Senju... Madara Uchiha..."

"Therefore, if we trace the Uchiha clan back, we can actually trace it back to the Sage of Six Paths and the Goddess of the Rabbit."

He briefly explained some background information to Orochimaru, but aside from mentioning the bloodline relationship, he didn't mention any of the important key points.

"Ah, I see!" Orochimaru listened with great interest and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a powerful clan in Konoha, these secrets are probably completely unknown to outsiders."

"However, besides illustrating the noble bloodline of the Uchiha clan, what does all this have to do with the art of immortality?"

"Hehe..." Uchiha An chuckled, then said mysteriously, "What if I told you that the Goddess of the Rabbit and her two sons are still somewhere in the ninja world?"

"What?!" Orochimaru's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "This is impossible!"

"It's been so many years, and they..."

Halfway through his sentence, Orochimaru suddenly realized something and asked in a trembling voice:

"But is it the art of immortality?"

"Indeed!" Uchiha An nodded. "It is indeed a genuine technique for immortality!"

"The immortality technique of the Goddess of the Rabbit is called 'Bloodline Limit,' which is an ability formed by fusing all seven nature transformations of fire, wind, earth, water, thunder, yin, and yang together. It is an existence that transcends the Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Elimination."

"However, the Goddess of the Rabbit is a member of the Otsutsuki clan, and is born with the 'Bloodline Limit.' If you want to obtain it, you will have to find a way to fuse with it yourself later."

"Hagoromo Otsutsuki's immortality technique is slightly inferior, so it's called 'Sage of Six Paths.' All you need to do is synthesize the Rinnegan and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki to achieve that."

"Hamura Otsutsuki's immortality technique is the worst, but the easiest to achieve. It's called the 'Tenseigan.' You just need to collect a large number of Byakugan and fuse them together to obtain it naturally."

Orochimaru's pale face suddenly flushed an unnatural red, his eyes gleamed wildly, and his long, snake-like tongue licked back and forth at his lips.

After a long while, he calmed down, looked at Uchiha An who was leisurely sipping his tea, and said in a deep voice:

"Of the three methods, you only mentioned the method for synthesizing the Tenseigan. In other words, you actually want me to go to Konoha Village and plunder large quantities of Byakugan."

"Right?"
