Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 186 God - Thousand-Handed Buddha

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is a very interesting cheat code.

The Sharingan evolves when there are strong emotional fluctuations.

However, this kind of evolution does not necessarily mean that it will evolve into a kaleidoscope.

There are many kinds of strong stimuli, and if they are negative, they may evolve into a kaleidoscope.

For example, witnessing a loved one die in front of you, or killing your own brother, and then feeling intense regret afterwards.

These are all negative emotions.

Did Uchiha Kagami ever experience negative emotions?

There is.

His surname is Uchiha, and he is naturally more emotional than the average person. Although he is relatively gentle, he is still a member of this clan, and he can be quite stubborn at times.

Now, he has left the Uchiha clan's territory.

Although many Uchiha clan members and ordinary people had left their clan territory to come to the inner city before, Uchiha Kagami didn't seem so out of place.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll realize that something's not right.

Uchiha Kagami is no ordinary Uchiha clansman.

He's the head of the secret service!

Moreover, he enjoys the deep trust of the current Hokage.

Such a figure has left the Uchiha clan territory...

There must be a reason behind it.

Yuya actually already knew why Uchiha Kagami left the clan's territory.

It's still the same old power struggle.

The current Uchiha clan leader no longer wants Uchiha Kagami to stay, because he knows that as Konoha develops, the inner city of Konoha will become increasingly attractive to other members of the Uchiha clan.

Ultimately, it comes down to the same problem: if the distribution isn't fair, people from their own branch of the clan are dissatisfied.

The unfair distribution means that members of other branches certainly won't want to stay in their clan's territory any longer.

That's how it is for him.

However, Uchiha Kagami is different.

He certainly has his own immediate family, but given Uchiha Kagami's personality, he wouldn't discriminate against them.

Although Uchiha Kagami's immediate family members may be dissatisfied, other branches of the family will have a very favorable impression of him.

If that were all, it would be fine; putting Uchiha Kagami in power would be beneficial for unity.

However, there is one major unacceptable aspect to Uchiha Kagami.

That means he was a disciple of Tobirama Senju.

Although putting Uchiha Kagami on the throne would allow him to win over the other Uchiha members and unite the Uchiha clan...

But this guy might just pack up the entire Uchiha clan and send them away!

It's not impossible!

The current head of the Uchiha clan cannot accept this outcome, not even the slightest possibility!

Uchiha Kagami wasn't stupid; he understood this.

Although he was very angry about this, he felt that the Uchiha clan leader thought he was a villain who would betray the clan's interests.

Although he was indebted to Tobirama Senju, why did he simply hand over his entire family to Yua?

That's impossible. If anything, it would be given to Konoha. They would simply break down the walls of the Uchiha clan's territory and completely integrate them into Konoha Village.

What kind of betrayal of the family is this?

Being treated this way by his own clan angered Uchiha Kagami, and the intense emotional fluctuations caused his Sharingan to evolve.

It just didn't evolve into a kaleidoscope...

From this perspective, it is indeed a pity, but considering the price to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan... I doubt that any Uchiha clan member would choose to sacrifice their own family to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Ok……

This refers to normal Uchiha clan members; those whose minds are clouded by power definitely don't count.

Moreover, being distrusted has its advantages, namely that Uchiha Kagami doesn't have to fight for these disgusting power struggles.

So he simply left his clan's territory and moved into the residence of the official arranged by Youya, seeking some peace and quiet.

Uchiha Kagami, who is 43 years old this year and will soon be 44, has noticed that his physical abilities are declining very rapidly.

Being able to worry less about those trivial matters might actually allow me to live a few more years.

It's perfectly normal that Uchiha Kagami immediately expressed his disappointment with Uchiha Setsuna upon his appearance...

……

"What kind of look is that...?" Uchiha Setsuna glared at Uchiha Kagami with a twisted expression, gritting his teeth fiercely. "I've hated you ever since! You betrayed the clan and sided with Senju Tobirama, selling out the clan's interests!"

What gives you the right to look at me like that?!

Uchiha Kagami looked at Uchiha Setsuna with an unusually calm expression: "Betrayed the clan's interests? Why don't you tell me how I betrayed them?"

Uchiha Setsuna's tone faltered abruptly. He had only said it casually, since everyone in the clan usually said it like that...

But to really say that Uchiha Kagami betrayed his clan's interests...

Uchiha Kagami doesn't have that ability. It was Yua who cut the Uchiha with a knife. What does it have to do with Uchiha Kagami?

If he had that ability, he would have taken action against the Uchiha clan back in the Senju era. Why would he have waited until now?

Uchiha Kagami shook his head: "I know what you're thinking. I am the head of the Anbu, but I haven't arranged for any Uchiha clan members to be placed in the Anbu or infiltrated. Just because I didn't do that, you think I'm not worthy of this position."

After all... this doesn't benefit people like you, does it?

Uchiha Setsuna's face twisted even more, a furious expression of a selfish and petty person being exposed.

Uchiha Kagami shook his head again: "So... I never agreed to let you do it from the beginning..."

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly roared in fury, as if his tail had been stepped on: "Do you think I wanted to be the deputy head of the security department?! Every day is filled with a series of messy things! It never gives me a moment's peace!"

And that damn phone call!

Every day when I want to sleep, I get a phone call telling me to go to the garrison headquarters!

I haven't had a good night's sleep in two whole years!

Do you think I really want this deputy minister position?!

Who cares!

"Even a dog wouldn't want to sit here if I hadn't been assigned to it!"

After shouting, Uchiha Setsuna sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw Uchiha Fugaku supporting the current clan head, standing behind him with complicated expressions.

Uchiha Setsuna became even angrier: "Why! Why are you all looking at me like that?!"

Why?!

Uchiha Kagami pursed his lips, then calmly looked at Uchiha Setsuna and said, "Don't you understand? No wonder..."

How much longer do you think the old clan chief can live?

All of Uchiha Setsuna's complaints were immediately stuck in his throat.

He made two "ho ho" sounds, but didn't utter a complete sentence.

Because he realized a possibility.

"Although I had a great reputation within the clan, in the end, I left the clan's territory." Uchiha Kagami looked at Uchiha Setsuna, his eyes once again revealing a mixture of pity, hatred, anger, and disappointment.

"Don't you understand? The reason the old clan chief appointed you as the deputy head of the security department two years ago was to prepare you for your succession..."

However, now…

Uchiha Setsuna froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

He now just found it all ridiculous...

As if his soul had left his body, flashes of recent memories appeared before his eyes...

They appeared before Uchiha Setsuna like a revolving lantern...

A black, unidentified object told him that he was created by Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha saw the best way to save the Uchiha clan on the stone tablet.

Infinite Tsukuyomi traps everyone in an illusion... allowing everyone to live a good life in their dreams.

He believed it.

He considered himself the savior of the Uchiha clan.

He gave up everything to achieve this goal.

So...

If we set all that aside, what about taking a closer look at reality?

The reality is that he is already the deputy minister of the security department...

After the old clan chief dies in a while, he will be the next clan chief...

If he were someone who cared deeply about the world, he would certainly be resolutely implementing his established policies now.

But is he really?

If he were him, Uchiha Kagami wouldn't have shown such disappointment...

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly found it all ridiculous.

"Hehehe..." Uchiha Setsuna chuckled softly, rubbing his forehead. The laughter grew louder until he threw his head back and laughed, forcing back the tears welling in his eyes. He looked at the three Uchiha clansmen before him and spoke in a low voice:

"It can't be stopped now!"

I gave up everything! I even killed my entire family for this!

If I don't complete the Eye of the Moon plan, wouldn't that mean everything I've been doing right now has been for nothing?

The expressions on the faces of Uchiha Kagami, the old Uchiha clan head, and Uchiha Fugaku were complex.

In fact, they had a premonition when they realized that Uchiha Setsuna wanted to kidnap Uzumaki Kushina. It is likely that Uchiha Setsuna himself killed his family.

As for the purpose...

"I can't stop now! I can only keep going! I can only follow the path that Madara once walked!"

I will control the Nine-Tails! I will destroy Konoha!

I want to... become Hokage!

With a loud "boom," Uchiha Setsuna's eyes turned blood red, and Susanoo appeared from his body. This time, armor even appeared faintly.

It's clear that this guy's mentality has completely collapsed; everything he's doing now has a strong element of revenge and venting...

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, who had been treated as invisible, were almost blown away while hiding behind a tree.

This was only because Uchiha Setsuna, who was almost out of his mind at the moment, wasn't primarily after them; otherwise, they would definitely have been blown away.

Kushina Uzumaki looked down at Minato Namikaze, who was clutching his stomach and coughing up blood, and asked anxiously yet gently, "Can you still move? We can't stay here! If they start fighting, it might affect us!"

Minato Namikaze coughed and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Although he was simply slapped away by Susanoo, there is no doubt that at this moment, Minato Namikaze was not the same Minato who could go head-to-head with Kurama.

Well, their personalities are pretty much the same.

"I'm not used to you speaking so softly..." Minato Namikaze said softly.

Kushina Uzumaki's face immediately turned angry. She really wanted to slap him, but seeing the injury on Minato Namikaze's face, she held back.

After all, he did it to protect her...

"Little girl, let me do it."

The Nine-Tails' voice suddenly rang in Kushina's mind.

Kushina Uzumaki was stunned for a moment, then quickly composed herself and went to the cage where the Nine-Tails was imprisoned: "Really?! You can really save him?!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox grinned maliciously: "Of course! I never lie! But... I never save people for no reason."

Kushina's expression immediately darkened. She looked at Kurama and said, "What do you want in return for saving him? Let me make this clear: I'm not letting you out..."

Kurama rolled its eyes. Of course it knew that Kushina was willing, but the others in Konoha were not.

"From now on, stop worrying about your stupid homework all the time. From now on, let me watch TV for at least an hour every day. Then I'll help you save this little guy."

How's it going, little girl? Is this deal fair?

Kushina Uzumaki was completely dumbfounded. What kind of request was this?

However, Kushina Uzumaki, who could watch TV whenever she wanted and turn it off whenever she didn't, obviously didn't know how carefree it was for Kurama, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and locked up in prison, to be able to watch TV.

It's fine if I haven't experienced it before.

Once you get involved in entertainment, there's no going back.

It's like asking people who use smartphones now to go back to the era of brick-like phones; they certainly wouldn't be happy.

But here's the problem.

Kushina Uzumaki is a curl-dog.

She not only rolls them up, but she's also very serious about it!

They never tire of learning.

If Kurama were to start fussing and demanding to watch TV in this situation, wouldn't it make Kurama seem like the little kid?

The key is……

The two share the same body, and Kushina Uzumaki often unconsciously speaks out the sounds she makes while doing her homework. Kurama can block it out, but being trapped here is really too boring, so Kurama will occasionally listen in.

Then he will discover...

What the hell are these things?

Quadrants, symbols, algebra, geometry for calculating volume...

It was pure torture.

By comparing the two, you'll understand what happiness is for this fox.

Kushina Uzumaki fell into thought.

While she was thinking, the blue Gundam had already gone berserk, chasing after Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kagami.

Although Uchiha Setsuna is mentally broken now, it's not like he would go so far as to kill an elderly person with limited mobility.

The old Uchiha clan patriarch looked pained.

He truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way...

After sending Uchiha Kagami flying with a single blow, the old Uchiha clan patriarch finally couldn't hold back any longer. He took a shaky step forward and asked Uchiha Setsuna, "Setsuna...you killed all your relatives..."

Is it all for this power?

Uchiha Setsuna was about to give chase to Fugaku when he heard the old clan leader's words and stopped. After a moment of silence, he revealed a sinister smile: "Isn't this power worth pursuing?! This is the level of Madara-sama!"

Who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is stronger than me now?!

"I am the strongest! I am the one who should be Hokage!"

The old Uchiha clan patriarch opened his mouth, but in the end, he sighed, unsure how to begin.

Meanwhile, Kushina Uzumaki and Kurama negotiated and finally agreed on a condition of one hour per day, if conditions allowed.

Then, red chakra enveloped Minato Namikaze, and just as Kushina Uzumaki was waiting to see the effect, a female voice rang out:

"Huh, you've already mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

Kushina Uzumaki was startled and turned her head to look. She saw a figure behind her bending over and looking at Minato Namikaze, who was lying on the ground and was about to fall into a coma.

When she bent over, her chest pressed against Kushina's face, and Kushina immediately felt a little suffocated.

However, she still greeted him politely, "Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade patted Kushina's head, then glanced at her briefly before speaking softly, "Internal organ concussion, several broken ribs, and fractures in her hands and feet. Although it's a serious injury, it's not untreatable. Take back the Nine-Tails' chakra, I'll treat him."

Kushina Uzumaki stared blankly at Tsunade, then mentally roared at Kurama (the Nine-Tails): "You damned fox! You tricked me!"

You must have known Lady Tsunade was coming soon before you told me this!

When confronted with her questioning, Nine-Tails simply whistled and turned its head to one side.

I don't know what you're saying, *whoosh whoosh*

Meanwhile, after Uchiha Setsuna roared like a madman, a masked figure appeared in front of him and kicked him.

Uchiha Setsuna grew even angrier, and his Susanoo became more solid, with a clear body outline, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The newly arrived ANBU ninjas crumbled at the first touch.

Susanoo is indeed the nightmare of all taijutsu ninjas.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! I am the strongest..."

"despair"

Uchiha Setsuna's laughter abruptly stopped. Although it was just the sound of footsteps, he turned his head to look in that direction and narrowed his eyes.

The figure, wearing a red conical hat with red characters on it, had his hands in his pockets and was draped in a white feather gray cloak. His gray striped suit gave him a very formal look.

"...Kamikame Yua..." Uchiha Setsuna spoke softly in a low voice.

"Not just anyone can become Hokage."

This is not just a power, but also a responsibility.

You are responsible to all the villagers of Konoha, and to the more than two million people living in the inner and outer cities of Konoha...

"And it's obvious that you only see the profits involved, but have no desire to bear any responsibility." Yuya sighed, pressing down on the very tip of the Hokage's hat, and said:

"I actually hate using violence... because violence only breeds conflict, although in many cases... violence is indeed the best way to solve problems."

Yuya tossed the straw hat aside, and the ANBU ninja with the watermelon-shaped haircut quickly caught it.

Uchiha Setsuna smirked coldly: "I have now acquired Madara-sama's fighting power! Kamikaze Yua!"

You don't know how you became Hokage, do you?!

You're nothing but a piece of trash designated by Tobirama Senju! Have you ever been to a battlefield?! Do you even know how to fight?!

"You! Can you take this punch?!"

Uchiha Setsuna laughed wildly, and the huge blue Gundam punched towards Yua.

You Ya remained calm and simply said, "One ton of gold has a volume of 0.05 cubic meters... So..."

You Ya took a half step back, then slammed his hands together heavily in a clapping motion.

【The Divine Thousand-Handed Buddha!】

A huge cloud of white mist appeared, and Susanoo, which had been throwing a punch at Yua, was bounced back as if it had hit a metal plate in the mist...

When the white mist dissipated, a solemn and sacred Buddha statue, as tall as Uchiha Setsuna, standing tens of meters high, stood atop the mountain. Surrounding the Buddha statue were a thousand giant golden hands, like a peacock spreading its tail.

Yuya certainly didn't have that much gold; he had simply awakened his abilities.

Although Yua's Gold Saint ability might be forgotten if it weren't mentioned, the reason why Konoha wasn't short of money during the initial reforms was precisely because of this ability.

And now...

Yuya was simply using his abilities in combat.

Even if one awakens their abilities, they can't conjure up permanent gold, but it's more than enough for a fight.

As he spoke, Yuya stood atop the golden Buddha statue, looking down at the several large and one small figures who were now completely dumbfounded. He calmly addressed Kushina Uzumaki, saying, "When we get back, calculate the weight. This is something I specially saved for you..."

Graduation project.

Kushina... Kushina's face turned green.

"No, impossible! Impossible! It must be fake! An illusion! This is an illusion!"

As Uchiha Setsuna looked at the figure, though different in color, it was still a nightmare for their Uchiha clan. His already dwindling rationality and his near-collapsed spirit finally snapped.

He controlled Susanoo to rush towards the Buddha statue.

Meanwhile, Yuya, with his arms crossed, watched as a giant golden hand beside the Buddha statue gradually detached from its original position and rammed towards the blue Gundam in front of him...

Then came the second, the third... the thousandth hand...
