--------------------------------------------------------------

Humans with demon bloodline are not too rare, but most have such diluted bloodlines that they are not very special. For example, Kaito suspected that the shark-faced companion of the Uchiha might have had demon blood mixed into his ancestry. Among these humans with demon blood, occasionally, there are individuals with atavistic traits, who could be considered half-demons. Orochimaru's curse mark was likely developed using the blood of such half-demons as a catalyst. "Demons naturally control some natural energy, indeed, it's a shortcut."

Chirping noises rose as if from countless birds, and upon activating the curse mark, Sasuke even directly used the Chidori. The curse mark, combined with lightning nature, increased Sasuke's speed several times, making him rush towards Kaito like a lightning bolt. However, Kaito further increased his own speed, lightly shifting positions to easily dodge the Chidori's straightforward attack.

"Alright, Sasuke, stop now."

As the Chidori in Sasuke's hand dissipated and his movements halted for a moment, Kaito appeared behind him and placed a palm on his back. The power brought by the curse mark instantly faded, and Sasuke, breathing slightly, knew that the battle of vastly differing strengths had ended.

"I've basically understood your strength now," Kaito removed his hand and walked in front of Sasuke, "Let's start the formal training before the teaching."

"Can I learn the same power as you?" Sasuke asked after calming down.

Kaito shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, but what I learned doesn't suit you."

"Why not?" Sasuke frowned.

"Because I have no chakra at all," Kaito spread his hands, "The power I practice was called spiritual power a thousand years ago, and it's incompatible with chakra."

"It was because I, despite being from the Uchiha clan, had absolutely no chakra and was naturally born with spiritual power, that I was brought here."

Kaito said this as he walked back to the porch to sit down.

At this point, Sasuke remembered Kaito mentioning there should be many inheritances here, so he asked, "Then what can I practice?"

Kaito took out a set of tea utensils in front of him and started making tea, beckoning Sasuke over: "Come here, Sasuke, sit down, let me think."

At this moment, Sasuke suddenly felt this uncle might not be very reliable.

But since he had come all this way, he couldn't give up on practicing and could only sit down with a straight face.

"Don't worry," Kaito elegantly prepared the tea and handed a cup over, "I've thought of it now."

Sasuke really wanted to throw the tea cup at his head at that moment.

But he still accepted the cup with both hands, thanking him.

It wasn't because he couldn't win.

That's what Sasuke thought.

"Ahem," Kaito faced Sasuke's angry gaze and leisurely drank a sip of tea before speaking, "Sasuke, although you can't practice spiritual power, there are secrets in swordsmanship and mental strength you can practice."

"Especially the secret techniques of mental strength, which, when practiced to a certain extent, can evolve your Sharingan."

"I want to learn that!" Sasuke was excited, "Teach me quickly!"

"Not so fast, first we must remove the curse mark Orochimaru left on you," Kaito pointed at Sasuke's neck, "The curse mark contains the wild demon blood and Orochimaru's soul fragments, which will affect the purity of your own mental power."

He touched his chin: "Speaking of which, those Summoning Beasts invented the so-called Sage Mode that mixes natural energy with chakra, you should be able to practice too. Hmm... the form of the curse mark is not bad, I'll research a harmless curse mark for you later."

Sasuke ignored his uncle's tendency to come up with ideas on the fly, put down the cup in his hand, and urged, "Then start by removing Orochimaru's curse mark first, I must begin training as soon as possible."

"Alright, let's start."

Kaito formed hand seals, and his Mangekyō Sharingan appeared, with the pentagrams slowly spinning.

"Dispel!"

As he acted, a pentagram pattern array appeared under Sasuke's feet, emitting a soft white light that enveloped him.

As the light grew brighter, the curse mark on Sasuke's neck and the Evil Sealing Method seal that Kakashi had set both began to slowly turn into black particles and gradually dissipate.

With a faint scream, the black particles completely vanished, and Sasuke's neck no longer had any traces.

"Done," Kaito then lowered his hands.

Then the white light around Sasuke began

 to fade, and the pentagram array also disappeared.

"Come with me, we're going to the study," Kaito got up and walked inside.

Sasuke touched his neck, quickly got up, and followed.

'Finally, it's about to start, I will become stronger.'

To surpass this man, Sasuke looked at the tall figure in front of him.

Then, the one to save the world would be me, Uchiha Sasuke, hmph.

Meanwhile, across a vast distance of sea, deep in a secret base in the Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru suddenly stopped his experiments.

"What is it, Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto entered the lab, noticing Orochimaru seemed somewhat enraged and asked.

"Heh, the curse mark I left on Sasuke-kun has been completely erased."

Orochimaru's gaze turned coldly towards Kabuto, asking, "Kabuto, have you found out? Who took Sasuke away, and also has the capability to completely erase my Heaven Curse Mark?"

Kabuto calmly pushed up his glasses, answering calmly, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru. We've received information from both Konoha and the Akatsuki."

"Oh? Well done, Kabuto. Tell me, I'm getting more and more interested," Orochimaru's tongue flicked out, licking his lips.

"The one who took Sasuke away is a man named Kaito Uchiha," Kabuto responded respectfully, "Kaito Uchiha appeared suddenly on the day Sasuke defected and then took Sasuke away. Along their journey, they encountered Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha."

"Oh?" Orochimaru became even more excited, "Another Uchiha? So, what happened?"

"Kakashi Hatake did not engage in battle, but later, in a fight in the Land of Frost, it was said that Kaito Uchiha used the Mangekyō Sharingan and easily defeated Itachi Uchiha."

"Heh, interesting! Another pair of those eyes, eh? The Uchiha are truly blessed," Orochimaru's tongue licked even faster, "What's the specific identity of Kaito Uchiha? Did you find out?"

"Yes, according to information sent back from Konoha, Kaito Uchiha is the younger brother of Sasuke's mother, Mikoto Uchiha."

"Kaito Uchiha?" Orochimaru's raspy voice rose, "I'm curious, indeed. I'm looking forward to meeting him."
