Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 154 Changes Over Three Years

Once the growing pains of awakening chakra in the entire population have subsided, all that remains are benefits.

First, there is a massive overabundance of ninja resources. Although Konoha Village produces elite ninjas due to their ancestral bloodlines, and clan ninjas possess various secret techniques and bloodline limits, there are simply too many civilians!

Even though the probability of a genius emerging from the common people is extremely small, once the amount of awakened chakra reaches the level of tens of millions, the number of geniuses among the common people will absolutely explode!

Even though the Konoha Ninja Academy has expanded its enrollment repeatedly, the requirements for ninja talent are still abnormally high. Basically, without the potential to become a Jonin, one cannot even step through the gates of the Ninja Academy.

Unfortunately, the original Ninja Academy recruited students from Konoha, but now it recruits students from the entire Land of Fire!

Admittedly, even orphans in Konoha Village can generally be related to ninjas by blood, and therefore their average quality is much higher than that of ordinary people in the Land of Fire. However, with a population difference of several thousand times, the number of true geniuses is definitely less than that of the entire Land of Fire.

It's too early to tell now, but we'll see the signs when the Ninja Academy students graduate. By then, these ninjas who graduated under the universal chakra policy will at least reach the level of Chunin!

Having the potential to become a special jonin doesn't necessarily mean you'll become one, but becoming a chunin or even an elite chunin is definitely within your reach. In the past, most of the ninjas trained by the Konoha Ninja Academy were actually genin cannon fodder.

Not only Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, but also the ninja villages in the Land of Wind and the Land of Water have gathered a large number of geniuses. Once these ninjas graduate and grow up, the strength of the three major ninja villages can increase several times over.

While the changes in the ninja village were immense, the changes in the three countries themselves, including the Land of Fire, were also considerable.

Chakra, this extraordinary power, can increase a person's basic qualities such as strength and agility several times over, even if it is only used to enhance the body. Even if it is only used for farming, it can increase the yield by seven or eight times. With the enhancement of extraordinary power, the productivity of the Land of Fire has naturally increased a lot.

Currently, only 1/10 of the population possesses chakra, which is why the Land of Fire's productivity has increased by three or four times. If everyone in the Land of Fire truly possessed chakra, the Land of Fire's productivity could probably increase four or five times!

The Land of Wind and the Land of Mist cannot reach the level of the Land of Fire due to environmental factors, but it is estimated that after the completion of the nationwide chakra plan, productivity will increase by about three times.

The Universal Chakra Plan is actually an exponential growth plan. Don't be fooled by the fact that only 1/10 of the people in the three countries, even the best one, the Land of Fire, possess chakra now. In reality, in just two more years, it's estimated that there won't be anyone in the three countries who doesn't know chakra!

The other two countries are estimated to need another five years to complete the national chakra plan due to the slow pace of policy implementation. This means that there are three years left, and the national strength of the other three countries is far superior to that of the other two.

This is also what Iwagakure and Kumogakure are most worried about right now. If the other three countries take this opportunity to attack them, they may not be able to withstand it.

In the Hokage's office, Uchiha Touya, having just finished another group activity, was lying comfortably on the spacious sofa.

Guren, who had once looked dejected after being sent away by Orochimaru, now lay on Uchiha Touyu's chest with a happy and satisfied smile on her face.

A few strands of red hair fell onto Uchiha Tou's face. Uzumaki Kushina had a gentle smile on her face, her arms wrapped around Uchiha Tou's chest, and she was lying on Uchiha Tou's back, letting Uchiha Tou enjoy the brainwave pad service.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, is currently holding Uchiha Tou's foot and gently massaging it.

At some point, a thick, soft carpet had been laid on the floor of the Hokage's office. Lying on the carpet were many female ninjas, some beautiful, some graceful, and some pretty. Among them were female supporting characters who frequently appeared in the original work, such as Shizune and Yugao, as well as some female ninjas who were not seen before but whose appearances were in no way inferior to theirs.

However, these female ninjas all have one thing in common: they are not only larger, but also more shapely and elastic. This is not because Konoha has good feng shui, nor because these ninjas are exceptionally talented, but all thanks to Tsunade, who is currently massaging Uchiha Touya's feet.

Based on this alone, Tsunade is currently the number one boss in Uchiha Tou's harem. Even if Mei Terumi and Pakura grit their teeth, there's nothing they can do.

After all, women's yearning for beauty is innate. Even Yekura and Terumi Mei couldn't stop their subordinates from pursuing a better figure, could they?

If it were a matter of principle concerning the ninja village, these women would still uphold their village's stance unless Uchiha Hiu gave the order. However, the issue of the harem leader is clearly not a matter of principle. For the sake of their beautiful figures, they can only slightly apologize to the Kazekage (Mizukage)!

Uchiha Touya, who was enjoying himself like a lord, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tsunade:

"Tsunade, is there anything I can help you with today?"

Tsunade chuckled softly as she massaged Uchiha Touyu:

"Isn't it normal for me to contact you unless there's something important?"

"Holding large meetings is very common, but you always make excuses when it comes to holding them in the Hokage's office. You've never asked for them to do so."

Uchiha Touyu smiled faintly, then squeezed the bean between his toes, causing Tsunade to let out a muffled groan.

Tsunade's face turned bright red. She twisted her body but still couldn't break free, so she could only slump down, leaning against Uchiha Tou's legs.

"Okay, okay, I do have something to discuss with you..."

"What's gotten into Kumogakure and Iwagakure? They've actually sent people to Konoha to sign a peace treaty!"

"A peace treaty?! Wasn't that signed right after the Third Shinobi World War? What are those two ninja villages up to?"

"When the Third Shinobi World War ended, what was signed wasn't called a peace treaty, it was called a ceasefire agreement!"

Tsunade said with a hint of disdain, looking into Uchiha Tou's eyes as if to say that he was ignorant and incompetent. This made Uchiha Tou move his feet a few times in anger, making Tsunade tremble all over as if she were on fire.

It took Tsunade a while to come to her senses. Looking at the happy smile on her lips, Uchiha Touyu suspected that she had just deliberately provoked him.

Once she had recovered her composure, Tsunade continued speaking:

"The Iwagakure and Kumogakure want to sign a peace agreement with us that will last for more than ten years, during which time neither side will go to war."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic expression:

"Those two ninja villages are really dreaming. Theoretically, in a few years, after the students from the Ninja Academy graduate, even the strength of Konoha alone would be enough to crush the combined forces of the two villages. So, are they deliberately trying to sign a peace treaty to weather this period of weakness?"

"However... as far as I know, aren't these ceasefire agreements, peace treaties, and alliance agreements between the major ninja villages just toilet paper? Especially Iwagakure and Kumogakure, those two ninja villages break their agreements the most!"

Because of the natural barrier of the ocean, Kirigakure has basically never had any agreements with other ninja villages. Sunagakure, on the other hand, often breaks agreements, but only with Konoha.

Only the Cloud Village and the Rock Village treat agreements with any ninja village, not just Konoha, as mere scraps of paper—they can break them at any time. It's hard for Uchiha Touyu to imagine that these two ninja villages would place their hopes on a mere agreement.

"It's always been those two ninja villages that break the agreement, what does that have to do with Konoha? Konoha has always been very committed to keeping contracts!"

Tsunade spoke defiantly, but seeing Uchiha Tou's ambiguous smile, she could only lower her head helplessly.

"Isn't this something I need to discuss with you, Feiyu? What should we do? You should draw up a plan."

After all, the entire ninja world is practically Uchiha Touyu's vegetable garden now. When to water and fertilize, when to cut weeds, and when to harvest the leeks should all be decided by Uchiha Touyu himself.

Uchiha Touyu hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head:

"It's best not to start a world war before the nationwide chakra policy is fully implemented. After all, don't pick the fruit before it's ripe."

"I understand, I will abide by the agreement."

Tsunade nodded knowingly. Don't be fooled by the fact that Konoha used to seem to abide by all the agreements and regulations and never had a record of breaking them—that's because Konoha simply didn't have the opportunity!

The Land of Fire is located in the center of the continent, a land of constant warfare. Firstly, it is rich in resources and does not need to seek them from outside. Secondly, if it makes a move, it will be besieged. Konoha would certainly not be so foolish as to start a war itself.

But if there were a real chance—for example, if a powerful figure like the God of Shinobi, Shura of the Shinobi World, were to reappear in Konoha and also have a certain sense of belonging to Konoha, then Konoha would probably be the first to break the treaty and wipe out the other four great ninja villages first!

Therefore, Tsunade certainly wouldn't take any peace agreement to heart. Under normal circumstances, even if they signed an agreement on the surface, Konoha would definitely break the agreement and take action immediately when the feedback from the nationwide chakra plan arrived.

The Land of Fire is only three years ahead of the other two countries. If we don't take advantage of these three years to make a move, are we going to wait until the other side has fully developed before we attack?

Unfortunately, with Uchiha Touyu speaking up, Tsunade, no matter how unwilling she was, could not go against Uchiha Touyu's wishes.

Even though she knew very well that Uchiha Touyu was not peace-loving, but only wanted to extract more blood and marrow from the ninjas and even commoner geniuses of the five great nations, and that once all the nations and ninja villages recovered, a huge war would definitely be waiting for them, Tsunade could not object to Uchiha Touyu's opinion.

Seeing Tsunade's somewhat lost expression, Uchiha Touya gently stroked her face:

"Don't worry about so many things. Now that you've become my vessel, don't care about the lives of ordinary people or even ordinary ninjas anymore. Otherwise, you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end."

"Don't forget... every Qi and Blood Pill you've consumed is stained with a human life!"

Tsunade's body trembled slightly. Over the years, Orochimaru's Chaos Box had already been made public in Konoha, or rather, it had been made public privately among ninjas of a certain level.

After all, the atmosphere in Konoha is not as completely dog-eat-dog as in Kirigakure. It still needs some semblance of decency. So, theoretically, these are all pills developed and refined by Konoha. Nobody knows how these pills are made.

Of course, many Konoha ninjas have deduced the ingredients of the Qi and Blood Pill, whether it is from Konoha's increasingly strict laws, the silent disappearance of death row inmates in prisons, or the fact that the reward for capturing someone alive during a mission is far greater than that for killing an opponent.

Not to mention that in the Mist Ninja and Sand Ninja, the Chaos Treasure Box and Blood Qi Pills were not concealed at all, and any ninja with even a little bit of information knew that they were indirectly eating people.

The biggest beneficiaries and the ones who benefited the most were naturally Uchiha Tou's harem. Among the three ninja villages, the number of female ninjas who have reached the Kage level has now exceeded double digits. As for the other female ninjas, they all possess the strength of elite Jonin to Quasi-Kage.

It should be noted that Uchiha Touyu has served as a furnace for over a hundred people in Sunagakure and Kirigakure, and even more in Konoha, almost three hundred!

This group of about 300 people is a training ground for ninjas. More than 200 of them have the strength of a near-Kage, and there are nearly 20 Kage-level ninjas. Only 40 or 50 of them are female ninjas. Because they are younger and have been in the harem for a shorter time, they are only at the level of elite Jonin.

Admittedly, dual cultivation and training in the Moon Reading Space can greatly improve the strength of these cauldrons, but to improve to this level in a few years, they must have consumed a lot of Qi and Blood Pills. It can be said that a cauldron for 300 people has consumed at least four or five thousand people!

The Qi and Blood Pill provides a comprehensive boost to the human body. Ninjas with abundant Qi and Blood not only have more chakra, but their life essence also increases.

Even Tsunade couldn't resist this temptation. With abundant blood and energy, ninjas could live up to the life limit of 200 years old, and their appearance and physical condition would not change before they died.

Tsunade's Yin Seal can also adjust her appearance and has the same effect of prolonging life and locking in qi and blood. It is precisely because of this that she understands even more how magical the Qi and Blood Pill is. Compared to the Yin Seal, which mainly changes the external appearance, the Qi and Blood Pill truly strengthens the source of life from the inside.

Originally, she was already over 40 years old. Even with the Yin Seal regulating her internal energy and vitality, her life force was almost the same as that of a woman in her 30s. However, after taking a large amount of Qi and Blood Pills, Tsunade felt that both her youthful appearance and her life essence had returned to the state of an 18-year-old.
