Chapter 103 Bloodline Power

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the glass windows of the Senju Family Medical Research Lab, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

The air was filled with the strong smell of herbs and disinfectant.

Tsunade, dressed in a white lab coat, with pale green chakra gathering at her fingertips, was slowly tracing the back of Uchiha Yao.

The chakra, like fine probes, drilled into his meridians, searching for the strange power surging within his body.

From beginning to end, Tsunade's brows remained furrowed, never relaxing.

"Kid, concentrate and carefully feel the flow of your bloodline within you. What does it feel like?"

Tsunade seemed to have touched some kind of core power, and then suddenly tightened the chakra in her palm, followed by a sound.

Uchiha Yao froze, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, his body surface was faintly glowing with a pale golden light.

That was a sign of a strange fusion between Groudon's earth power and chakra.

At the same time, scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan and light blue white eye markings appeared in his eyes.

The auras of the two bloodline limits intertwined in the pupils, making them exceptionally captivating.

It felt as if I had truly opened a Pandora's box, and among the superimposed powers of the Star Palace, Groudon's power was the most obvious.

Now, with the Tenseigan power entering his body, he is able to fuse with chakra.

"What an overwhelming force!"

Uchiha Yao spoke with difficulty, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

"It feels like there's a volcano inside my body, ready to erupt and destroy everything at any moment."

The speed of chakra circulation is more than three times faster than usual, and even the skin can withstand the piercing of ordinary kunai.

Tsunade's fingertips suddenly stopped, the pale green chakra instantly dissipated, and her tone was solemn: "Enough, stop circulating your bloodline limit."

She took a half step back, looking Uchiha Yao up and down with a complicated expression.

"You are still too weak, even with the Sharingan's insight, the Byakugan's X-ray vision, and that mysterious bloodline that can draw upon the power of earth."

It temporarily gives you the chakra reserves and physical strength of an elite Jonin, or even a near-Kage.

But this is just a temporary outburst; you haven't adapted to it at all, and you can't control it at all.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yao frowned and slowly closed his eyes.

With a thought, the pale golden luster on his body gradually faded, and the Sharingan and Byakugan in his eyes also disappeared one after another.

But just as the power faded, a strong sense of emptiness suddenly struck, as if all the strength in my body had been instantly drained.

He staggered and grabbed the experimental table next to him to steady himself.

This physique, which combines the prototype of the Tenseigan, the power of Groudon, and the bloodlines of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, is a pure, explosive power.

After a brief period of manifestation, it will bring about a huge backlash.

Looking at his pale face, Tsunade suddenly had a glint in her eyes. She walked over, picked up the notepad on the table, and quickly wrote a few lines: "I don't know what kind of luck you had, kid, to be able to awaken three bloodline limits."

Each time your bloodline limit is revealed, your chakra will actively temper your physical body, increasing bone density and muscle toughness.

This is a rare advantage.

She paused, her tone becoming serious.

"But it must be used in moderation and should never be used continuously."

Your body is like a thin sheet of paper, forcibly wrapping around a boulder; it will break sooner or later.

Moreover, you have only recently acquired this power and need time for your body to adapt.

I will prepare an auxiliary medicine for you to help you integrate the power within your body.

Uchiha Yao secretly admired her, thinking to himself, "She truly deserves to be called the 'Goddess of Medical Ninjutsu'."

In just a short time, they had a clear understanding of his physical condition.

Indeed, the power within Uchiha Yao was not innate, but rather came from other "selves" in the myriad worlds, as well as from the gifts of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

The Sharingan and Tenseigan chakra manipulation of the Uchiha clan, Groudon's earth power —

These forces, like tangled threads, are entangled in his meridians, and he has yet to fully absorb and integrate them.

He was originally worried about how to speed up the fusion, but Tsunade's words undoubtedly gave him hope.

Half an hour later, the medical research laboratory's treatment equipment stopped operating.

Tsunade pulled a bill from the drawer and slammed it on the table in front of Uchiha Yao.

The number "ten thousand taels" on the paper was particularly glaring, causing his pupils to shrink and him to subconsciously swallow.

The image of Ichiraku Ramen flashed through his mind instantly.

A bowl of ramen costs fifty taels, so one hundred thousand taels would be two thousand bowls! That's almost half a year's worth of food expenses for him.

Don't look so miserable; you don't know how lucky you are.

Tsunade crossed her arms, her tone tinged with impatience.

"This is already at cost price. I had people bring those medicinal herbs from the border of the Land of Fire."

It will help you adapt to the power more quickly and prevent you from ruining yourself by being too hasty. You've come out ahead.

Uchiha Yao took a deep breath, realizing that this was indeed the truth, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Tsunade. Also, I won't skimp on the corresponding treatment costs."

He knew Tsunade's personality well; although she loved money, she would never cheat someone on medical treatment, and this treatment was indeed for his own good.

Before leaving, Tsunade suddenly pulled a document from the bookshelf and tossed it to Uchiha Yao: "This is your bloodline limit research report. It records all the data I observed. It might be useful to you."

As soon as Uchiha Yao's figure disappeared through the doorway, Tsunade's serious expression vanished, replaced by deep weariness and irritability.

She walked to the window, gazing at the Hokage Rock in the distance, where statues of the First and Second Hokage are engraved, and murmured, "The Senju clan is now nearly extinct. What are you high-ranking members still afraid of? Are you those clansmen scattered among the common people?"

The Uchiha clan's territory is located in the eastern district of Konoha, with the Uchiha clan crest engraved on its vermilion gate.

The guards at the gate greeted Uchiha Yao immediately.

As for Uchiha Yao, he responded with a smile.

Instead of going home, he went straight to Uchiha Mikoto's residence.

As one of the few moderates in the clan, Mikoto was not only Fugaku Uchiha's wife, but also one of the few people he could trust.

"Misaka-nee, I have something important to tell you."

Uchiha Yao pushed open the door and saw Uchiha Mikoto sitting at the table organizing documents, so he spoke directly.

Mikoto Uchiha looked up and, seeing his travel-worn appearance, quickly stood up and poured him a cup of tea: "Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen to Tsunade?"

Uchiha Yao took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, then took a deep breath and slowly said, "Based on my three-tomoe Sharingan, I have awakened two more bloodline limits—the Byakugan and a physical bloodline limit that allows me to manipulate the power of the earth."

He didn't hide anything and told her everything about his experience in Tsunade's research lab, finally handing over the bloodline limit research report.

"This is a report written by Captain Tsunade, which contains my detailed data."

Mikoto Uchiha took the report, her fingers flying across the pages. Her expression shifted from initial surprise to shock, and finally to solemnity.

She looked up at Uchiha Yao with a complicated expression: "Three bloodline limits—Yao-kun, do you know what this means?"

If the clan elders and chief find out, they will certainly have high hopes for you, but they might also put you in a very difficult position.

.

She paused, her tone turning serious. "Should we submit this report to the council of elders, or directly to the clan leader?"

Uchiha Yao smiled, he had expected Mikoto to ask that question.

The clan's elders are divided into hawks and doves.

The doves advocated peaceful coexistence with the village.

The hawks, on the other hand, value the interests of the Uchiha clan more and even want to regain the position of Hokage.

Mikoto's grandfather, Elder Setsuna, was a key figure in the hawkish faction.

"Miss Mikoto, who do you think would genuinely care about me, instead of using me as a tool in their power struggle?"

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes flashed with understanding, and she then smiled.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly reaching a tacit understanding, and went to find Elder Shaka.

The Uchiha Naga Shrine is located at the deepest part of the clan's territory.

This place is not only where the Uchiha clan worships their ancestors, but also where the hawkish elders hold secret meetings.

In the dimly lit, secret room, only an oil lamp flickered with a faint light.

Elder Setsuna sat in the main seat, his aged face covered with wrinkles, but his pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, with their three tomoe, remained sharp.

He took the report from Uchiha Yao, carefully flipped through it, and tapped his fingers lightly on the paper, making a "tap-tap" sound.

"The triple bloodline limit seems terrifying, giving you a foundation that surpasses your peers in a short period of time, but the flaws are too great."

Elder Setsuna put down his report, his gaze falling on Uchiha Yao, his tone calm.

"Human energy is limited. The Sharingan needs to be trained in perception and genjutsu, while the Byakugan needs to improve its close combat ability."

And your mysterious bloodline limit, which appeared out of nowhere, seems to require a lot of chakra to support it.

Trying to master all three at the same time is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and the clan head walked in with Uchiha Fugaku and two clan elders.

Uchiha Setsuna was not surprised by this and quietly watched the weak clan leader.

Ignoring Uchiha Setsuna's gaze, the clan head, who had been listening outside for a while, sized up Uchiha You for a moment and slowly nodded: "Flaws do exist, but it is undeniable that you are a genius that the clan sees only once in a hundred years."

He paused, his tone tinged with seriousness. "Such a genius is qualified to carry out important tasks for the family."

Upon hearing this, Elder Setsuna took out a sealed scroll from his robes and handed it to Uchiha Yao: "Since the clan leader says so, then this task will be entrusted to you."

His voice was lowered.

"Kushina Uzumaki, a member of the Uzumaki clan who is currently the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is very likely to be the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Try to get close to her and gain her trust.

This will not only demonstrate the Uchiha clan's sincerity to the village leadership, but also pave the way for your future ambition to become Hokage.

Uchiha Yao's expression instantly became quite interesting, and he subconsciously looked at Uchiha Mikoto standing to the side.

Kushina Uzumaki is Mikoto's best friend. To let him get close to Kushina, and even use her, is...

But at that moment, Mikoto Uchiha secretly gave him an encouraging look and nodded gently.

Uchiha Yao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Uchiha Mikoto with some confusion, but knew he shouldn't refuse now: "For the honor of the Uchiha clan, I am willing to accept this mission!"

"good!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Fugaku's eyes. "Since you're willing to take on this responsibility, the family won't treat you unfairly."

Mikoto Uchiha spoke up at the opportune moment, her tone tinged with worry: "You needs to use Tsunade's treatment as a pretext to contact Kushina, but Tsunade's medicines are very expensive. The last treatment cost 100,000 ryo, and the subsequent expenses—"

"You don't need to worry about the money."

Elder Sha interrupted her, his tone decisive.

"Starting this month, the family will allocate 50,000 taels of silver to you every month to fully support your mission. If you need anything, you can contact me directly."

After leaving the Naga Shrine, Mikoto led Uchiha You to a secluded courtyard.

Seeing Uchiha Yao's still somewhat somber expression, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't look so troubled, I already told Kushina."

She leaned closer, lowering her voice, "You just need to go through the motions, chat with her occasionally, you don't need to do anything special. I'll explain things to Kushina for you."

.

Uchiha Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed. As expected of Uchiha Mikoto.

It turns out that this was something they had already considered, and they had spoken to Kushina in advance so that it wouldn't put him in a difficult position, and they could also give their family an explanation.

That night, Uchiha Yao once again arrived at the Senju clan's residence.

Tsunade's residence was still brightly lit. She was sitting at the table checking accounts when she saw Uchiha You enter. Without looking up, she said, "What, here for more medicine? Let's make it clear first, this time you can't owe me any money."

"No, Lady Tsunade."

Uchiha Yao walked to the table and told the whole story about how his clan had arranged for him to get close to Kushina.

There was no concealment whatsoever, including details such as Uchiha Mikoto's prior communication and the fact that it was just a formality.

There's no need to hide these things.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade slammed the abacus in her hand onto the table with a "thud".

She raised her head, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Hmph, the Uchiha are still the same as ever, only good at these opportunistic tricks."

"Lady Tsunade, you're mistaken!"

Uchiha Yao suddenly raised his voice, his tone tinged with excitement.

"The Uchiha's love for the village is no less than that of the Senju."

We fought for our village and shed blood to protect Konoha.

But the village leadership always treated us as outsiders and the Senju as a threat.

He took a deep breath, displaying the slight bewilderment of a young man who felt misunderstood.

"I know you have grievances against the higher-ups, and I also know that someone is plotting against you in secret."

As he spoke, he took out a counterfeit intelligence scroll from his pocket and handed it over.

"This was given to me by Elder Shaka; it seems someone is watching you."

Tsunade took the scroll and quickly flipped through it, her face gradually turning gloomy.

He then slammed the reel onto the table and punched the wall next to him, instantly creating a dent in the hard wall.

"These bastards!"

She shouted angrily, her eyes filled with rage.

But after a moment, Tsunade's anger gradually subsided. She looked at Uchiha Yao, her eyes sharpening: "Do you think I don't know? This is the Uchiha's pledge of allegiance, trying to get me to join you in fighting against the higher-ups."

Uchiha Yao did not deny it, but looked at her calmly: "I just don't want to see you being schemed against, nor do I want to see the Uchiha clan being ostracized."

I know you don't care about power, but you should at least care about the reputation of the Thousand Hands clan.

Tsunade remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and softening her tone: "I don't care about Kushina's affairs. You can do whatever you want with her, but remember, don't try to hurt her, or I won't let you off the hook."

"Don't worry, I will never hurt Kushina, nor will I do anything to harm the village."

Uchiha Yao patted his chest and assured them, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

By simply going through the motions, one can appease both the clan and Tsunade, and also avoid being targeted by the Third Hokage. This is undoubtedly the best outcome.

As night deepened, Uchiha Yao walked out of Tsunade's residence and looked up at the starry sky over Konoha.

He knew this was just the beginning; the power within him had not yet fully integrated, and the family's mission still needed to be carried out with caution.

But he was not afraid, because he held the power of three bloodlines, and the future belonged to him.
