Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 261 The world has suffered for three generations of Mizukage for too long!

The streets of Kirigakure were filled with festive villagers and various earth spirits.

They were indeed ninja monsters, and they were quite content with their lot.

Kyokotsu and Hozuki Mangetsu walked together on the bustling street leading to the Uzumaki clan.

The two had a good relationship; they were among the earliest batch of Heavenly Demons and had even fought side by side on the battlefield, getting hammered together by the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

They're practically brothers in misfortune.

However, the two are the type to learn from their mistakes and strive to improve. After being crushed by the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan, they have been working hard to develop their potential.

Because the two had been celestial demons for a long time, and with their own efforts, they had indeed achieved considerable success.

Therefore, the two of them were very confident and not worried at all about what tricks Uzumaki Yangjie might play.

"What do you think is the reason Uzumaki Yūga invited us this time? It's said that he invited not only us, but also other celestial youkai." Hozuki Mangetsu's bored face showed a slight hint of curiosity.

The Heavenly Demons now represent the highest fighting force of Kirigakure, and the gathering of all the Heavenly Demons is no small matter.

Moreover, the fact that the gathering of celestial monsters was not convened by the Third Mizukage makes the whole affair even more bizarre.

Although they are not afraid, it does not mean they are not curious.

"We simply want to discuss whether we can form an alliance for the upcoming Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ceremony."

"Or perhaps they want to add a few restrictions that are advantageous to Uzumaki Yosuke himself to the Hyakki Yagyō ritual, which does not restrict any means."

Mad Bones scoffed, then continued, "How naive! There can only be one position as the Lord of Demons and Monsters, and no one will give it up. This means that everyone has an irreconcilable conflict of interest."

"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ritual has no restrictions on the means. Even if there are unspoken rules, they can be violated at any time without paying any price."

"He's trying to test real, tangible benefits with morality."

"If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Yangjie used his ability to absorb and unleash life force to create the Fruit of Life, I wouldn't have bothered coming over."

"It's better to stay by the Box of Bliss and try to get used to the dark aura it emits so that we can gain an advantage in the upcoming Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

After hearing what he said, Hozuki Mangetsu stared at Kyokotsu with a look of surprise until Kyokotsu felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

Why are you staring at me?

"...Old Bone, to be honest, I've always thought of you as a brute. You mustn't ruin the pure and innocent image you have in my heart now."

"You're still as infuriating as ever!"

Kyokotsu cursed, but he was just someone who simply liked fighting; he wasn't stupid.

Otherwise, when the experiment on the Heavenly Demon was first introduced, he wouldn't have made such a decisive move, willingly becoming the Third Mizukage's experimental subject in exchange for the Third Mizukage's generous offer of a horse bone, thus becoming the second Heavenly Demon.

The two walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the entrance of the Uzumaki clan, where they were led into the hall by servants who had been arranged in advance.

Mad Bones glanced around the hall briefly and understood.

Only six celestial demons gathered in the hall of the Uzumaki clan.

Whirlpool, Crazy Bone, Kappa, Green Oni, Red Oni, Wild Quilt.

As for why Kyokotsu was so certain, it was because he arrived in the hall at the very last second.

After everyone was seated, before Whirlpool Yangjie could even speak, they picked up the Fruit of Life from their respective tables and began to devour it.

Kyokotsu and Hozuki Mangetsu ate elegantly but quickly, making sure their life force fully nourished their bodies.

Ye Qin ate at a leisurely pace, his curiosity about the Fruit of Life running high. Blood Dragon Eye also utilized life force to some extent, wanting to try and decipher the Fruit of Life to make it the foundation of the Blood Pool clan.

"Brother, it's delicious!" Red Demon mumbled, eating fruit one after another.

"If it's delicious, eat more." The Green Demon was not to be outdone and quickly devoured the Fruit of Life in front of him.

After becoming Heavenly Demons, the Blue Demon and the Red Demon focused more on physical enhancement and were the most efficient at utilizing the Fruit of Life among the seven Heavenly Demons.

Whirlpool Yangjie clapped her hands, trying to get everyone's attention.

But he failed, and nobody paid any attention to him.

Everyone thought that what Uzumaki Yangjie was going to say next was nothing more than some stupid things like alliances and rules.

Instead of wasting time, you might as well eat a couple more Fruits of Life to enhance your vitality.

While the effects of a single Fruit of Life are not very strong, eating several can still have some effect on celestial demons.

Besides, no one expected that eating a few Fruits of Life would greatly enhance their abilities, because that's unrealistic.

Even if the Fruit of Life could greatly enhance their strength, they wouldn't dare to eat it indiscriminately.

Their primary goal is to use the life force from the Fruit of Life to regulate themselves and bring their bodies to a peak state.

"If we can't improve our strength in a short time, then being in good condition will be a crucial factor in our battles." Uzumaki Yangjie looked at the group wolfing down their food without showing any anger.

Because he knew that the celestial monsters would soon lose their appetite.

Everyone thinks they are smart, so they can take advantage of others at will, but in reality, they are just different levels of stupidity.

"Thank you all for coming to the Uzumaki Clan. The main reason I've gathered you all here is because I have a problem to discuss, and it's gotten to the point where I have to say it! Please hear me out."

"The world has suffered under the shadow of the Three Dynasties' water shadows for far too long!"

What the hell is this guy talking about?!

Uzumaki Yangjie's words left the ravenous monsters, who were wolfing down their food, speechless and only able to swallow hard.

"If everyone is silent, it means they agree with my point of view!"

"Waaaaah..."

The Red Demon was clutching his own neck, trying to express something, but Uzumaki Yangjie pretended not to understand.

"You agree with me? I'm so touched. Red Demon, you're the biggest contributor to the upcoming operation!"

"Waaaaah!!"

The red demon reacted even more violently, squatting down to swallow the wine on the table.

Seeing that everyone present was raising their glasses and trying to swallow, Yuzuriha Yojima gave him a bright smile.

"Brothers, drink this, and let's storm the Mizukage's office together!"

The hands of the people drinking wine froze in mid-air, unsure whether to drink or not.

It took a while for him to recover.

Everyone stared at the vortex of Yang Jie with solemn expressions.

Would Yang Jie dare to rebel?

Everyone knew that Uzumaki Yangjie was someone who truly dared to rebel!

Today is going to be troublesome!

You shouldn't be greedy for small gains!

"You invited us to dinner today so that we would leave the 'Box of Bliss' in the Water Shadow Building, to prevent it from affecting our upcoming operations?"

Hozuki Mangetsu said solemnly, feeling a slight regret for attending the banquet.

The Box of Elysium is located near the Third Mizukage. If they want to do something to the Third Mizukage, they will inevitably have to find a way to avoid it, especially since they are currently getting used to the dark aura emanating from the Box of Elysium.

and……

Yuki-onna, Jigen, Mokumokuren, Aoandon, Kisame, Mermaid...

These guys aren't going to let this opportunity slip by.

Even if they weren't involved, these guys would make it seem like they were, and then use that opportunity to eliminate half of their competitors!

Damn it, could Uzumaki Yangjie be someone's pawn?

Hozuki Mangetsu is having a crazy thought.

If Uzumaki Yōjaku succeeds, he will eliminate the Third Mizukage; if he fails, he can still eliminate half of his competitors.

"Haha... I was just joking, everyone don't need to be nervous."

"Please pretend I didn't say anything. I have something to trouble the Third Mizukage with, so I'll have to keep you company from now on."

With a smile on his face, Yuuki Uzumaki left his seat, leaving the others in silence.

"Damn it! Uzumaki Yoji didn't say anything, we didn't hear anything, Uzumaki Yoji left his seat on his own for some reason."

Hozuki Mangetsu said, forcing himself to speak.

As expected, no banquet is ever a good one!

By openly rebelling, Yuzuriha Uzumaki has essentially dragged them onto a pirate ship.

Whether they supported Whirlpool Mustard is no longer clear, and they have fallen into a very passive situation.

They could only assume that Yangjie hadn't said anything and that they hadn't heard anything.

However, this locked them in the territory of the Whirlpool Clan, which was perhaps also Whirlpool Yangjie's purpose!

Looking at the fruit of life before them, everyone found it tasteless and lost all appetite.

They once mocked Yuzuriha Yojima for publicly rebelling, calling it a joke.

As a result, when Yangjie once again publicly rebelled, they became a laughing stock.
