Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

His body was already radiating a powerful aura, and green-blue steam was rising from it.

Next is the sixth gate. Once he passes this gate, he will be able to compete with powerhouses at the Rinnegan level.

Of course, not a fragile Rinnegan powerhouse like Nagato.

Nagato's body was relatively weak, and even as a member of the Uzumaki clan, he was unable to use the Rinnegan.

Because his body did not have interstitial cells transplanted.

Only those who can fuse with Hashirama's cells, including Obito and Madara, can use the Rinnegan, and there are no major side effects.

A trace of the fear from last time lingered in my heart, but after slightly adjusting myself...

They planned to open the sixth gate.

My body is stronger than before, so even if I suffer a backlash, it will only result in a minor injury.

It won't be as dangerous as last time.

Continue attacking the Sixth Gate following the correct chakra flow path.

With a bang, his aura became even more vigorous, and even the steam he emitted turned blue.

The strong winds even caused the surrounding soil to fly up and the trees to sway.

He carefully examined his body and found that he was now undoubtedly stronger.

Although the breakthrough process was a little painful, it was completely negligible.

My body is starting to stabilize now.

Ryosuke was in a good mood at the moment.

I've finally completed six gates, which is at least equivalent to Kai's seven gates, since the color is now completely dark blue.

Such formidable strength.

He was more durable than Kai because his physique was superior to Kai's.

So he's now at least in the top tier of the ninja world.

Chapter 221 Budget Cuts

Having broken through the sixth gate of the Eight Gates, Ryosuke Uchiha naturally looked forward to the seventh gate.

Because opening the seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation will not endanger your life.

At most, it will only deplete some of his life force, which can actually be restored on its own, so there's nothing to worry about.

Of course, he wasn't in such a hurry to open the seven gates immediately.

After experiencing this unscathed and successful breakthrough to the sixth level, all that's needed is to gradually increase one's physical attributes.

Once you reach a certain level, you won't have to suffer excruciating pain when you try to break through the seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation.

This method of starting is undoubtedly better.

His current goal is at least the future Otsutsuki clan.

These guys don't know if they have the strength to fight back now.

But in the present moment, they are facing off against the future Six Paths Madara and Six Paths Obito.

That must be a case of dimensional reduction attack.

Moreover, Ryosuke Uchiha is already formidable against them now, and he will undoubtedly crush them in the future.

As for facing the Otsutsuki clan more than ten years later, at that time, it will be a dimensional reduction attack as well.

He enjoys this absolute advantage and using it to beat up children.

A few days later, the daimyo's envoy Sasaki arrived in Konoha Village with the daimyo's men.

Their arrival was naturally met with hospitality from Tsunade.

Also being entertained were Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku, as they were now advisors and elders of Konoha Village, and were high-ranking members of the village.

Sasaki, the envoy from the Daimyo Prefecture, came on behalf of the Daimyo.

It was in the reception room of the Hokage Building.

Sasaki looked at the three people in front of him and directly stated the daimyo's intentions.

"The Daimyo agrees to appoint Lady Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage."

None of the three were surprised, as this was something that should have been expected.

Shikaku spoke up.

"Please allow the envoy to spend a few days in Konoha Village, so that Konoha Village can show some hospitality."

Sasaki waved his hand and said...

"I haven't finished speaking yet, the Daimyo also brought other instructions."

Tsunade frowned and asked.

"What instructions does the Daimyo have?"

Although the Hokage is nominally subordinate to the Daimyo, the two do not actually interfere with each other.

Sasaki didn't mince words and spoke directly.

"The Third Shinobi World War is over, but the Land of Fire has suffered heavy losses from the war and needs a lot of money to restore people's livelihoods."

"The Daimyo wishes to reduce financial aid to your Konoha Village and spend more money on the people of the Land of Fire."

The three advisors from Konoha Village all looked rather dark; it seemed they didn't want to pay.

Tsunade refused outright.

"How can this be done?"

"Having experienced the devastation of the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha Village also needs a large amount of funds for reconstruction. In addition, the families of the ninjas who were maimed in the war and those who unfortunately died also need a large sum of compensation."

"We are sorry, but we cannot agree to this request."

How could such a request possibly be agreed to? No.

If that's the case, why would Tsunade be the Hokage?

Ninjas were not paid much.

She was unwilling to make such a decision that would displease her subordinates as soon as she took the stage.

Sasaki, seeing Tsunade's decisiveness, explained.

"Regarding this compensation, our Daming Prefecture will naturally contribute a portion, and the other portion will be covered by your village's mission center."

"The war is over, the mission center must be making a fortune every day."

"These two sums of money are enough to cover the compensation for the perpetrators of the cruelty and the families of the victims."

Shikaku, who was standing to the side, spoke up directly.

"The revenue from the mission center alone is simply not enough."

"The village only takes a small portion of the commission fee; the rest is left to the ninjas who complete the mission."

"This money is only enough for some of the village's expenses, and it's far from enough to cover a large amount of compensation for the deceased."

"Sasaki said impatiently."

"In that case, you can raise it a bit."

"Wouldn't that mean we'd be rich?"

"Sacrificing some personal interests for the sake of the village should be in line with your ninja spirit, right?"

Fugaku watched quietly; it wasn't his turn to make a move yet.

In short, he could never agree to this.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Shikaku was speechless and said...

“Lord Sasaki, those low-paying missions don’t pay much to begin with. If you take a high percentage of the commission, the ninjas will get even less money, and no one will be willing to do such hard work.”

"As for high-paying tasks, those all involve risking one's life. If you ask for a high percentage of the profits, people would never be willing to take that risk."

"So relying on the mission center to fund it is simply unrealistic."

"Please convey to your lord that you should carefully consider this before making a decision."

"Those ninjas who suffered because of the war deserve a reward."

Sasaki was very unhappy when he heard Nara Shikaku's words and asked in return.

“Not only did you ninjas suffer disaster in the war, but the civilians of our Land of Fire also suffered extremely serious disasters and need a lot of money to allow them to recuperate.”

"Moreover, this time your Third Hokage was actually a rogue ninja who leaked military intelligence, which greatly displeased the Daimyo."

"Even the former advisor and elder Danzo was conducting inhumane human experiments, which also aroused serious dissatisfaction among the civilians of the Land of Fire."

"Whether you should be held responsible for this matter or not, reducing your funding is too lenient; you are the ones who should be seriously considering this."

"At worst, we can just reduce the compensation to make do with the disabled ninjas and the families of the victims."

The expressions of the three high-ranking officials of Konoha all changed.
