The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 111 An Irresistible Contract (7K)

(Wow!)

After clocking out at the Hokage Building, the head of state and his family returned to their clan's territory. Uchiha Takeo and Uchiha Guri went to the residence of the late Uchiha Hikaru Elder.

After entering the house and exchanging a few words with the two families, Uchiha Takeo saw Uchiha Mikoto sleeping in the arms of a woman.

The cuter and more adorable the baby girl was, the more "holy crap" Uchiha Wu'an thought to himself.

(Was this a casual move by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, or was it due to Indra's indiscriminate use of both meat and vegetables?)

Under the gaze of the Eternal Eye, empowered by magic, Uchiha Muan could see that inside Uchiha Mikoto's body was an extremely pure and vast Yin Release chakra, existing between reality and illusion.

Uchiha Muan didn't use his magic to test her, because Uchiha Mikoto, who was still an infant, couldn't withstand any harm and would only alert her.

(It seems that Kushina Uzumaki is the reincarnation of Ashura; the two brothers who loved and hated each other have become two sisters with a tea-like demeanor.)

(However, could I erase the will of Indra and Ashura, so that Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki could benefit from it without suffering any harm?)

Madara Uchiha has been certified dead by the Ascension Point System, but Indra's chakra successfully reincarnated, proving that the two are different individuals.

Similarly, by erasing Indra's will, Mikoto Uchiha would undoubtedly be able to inherit Indra's legacy, making a fortune in one fell swoop and guaranteeing her entry into the Super Kage realm.

(The friendly relations between the Uchiha and Senju clans must not be ruined by these two brothers.)

Recalling his efforts day and night over the past few years, Uchiha Takeo's eyes narrowed.

After saying goodbye to Mikoto Uchiha's family, he went to Mito Uzumaki's place and met Kushina Uzumaki, the reincarnation of Ashura.

Under the angry gaze of Mito Uzumaki, who was holding a baby and unable to resist, the dignified leader of the ninja world stuck his head to her kneeling knees like a piece of chewing gum.

"Get up quickly, Minako will be here soon."

Mito Uzumaki's urging made Takeo Uchiha look up at Kushina Uzumaki's small back, feeling a little regretful that the mountains that once blocked out half the sky could only feel the taut legs on the back of his head.

He inhaled the delicate fragrance emanating from the noblewoman and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Mrs. Mito, Minako is still in the kitchen and won't be out for a while."

"We can't let this happen if we can't get out later; she'll misunderstand if she sees us."

Mito's eagerness made Uchiha Takeoshi blink and laugh. "Mrs. Mito, what do you think Minako might misunderstand?"

Mito Uzumaki hesitated, her expression complex and difficult to decipher.

Since the two joined forces to fight Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Muan once again experienced the comfort of a noblewoman's lap, this time on the Senju clan's territory.

"Mrs. Mito is alright."

Sensing that Mito Uzumaki was about to make a move, Takeo Uchiha offered her an excuse: "Didn't Lady Mito say that Minako is like my older sister?"

"So, it's okay if I lie down on my mother-in-law's lap to rest for a bit, is that alright?"

(This is a big problem!)

"My leader is always spouting nonsense."

Mito Uzumaki, who had just been about to kick Uchiha Takeo away, sighed upon hearing this. Looking at Kushina Uzumaki sleeping soundly in her arms, she thought of herself as raising another good son.

Just as Minako Uzumaki was about to return, Takeo Uchiha left a shadow clone while his main body returned to his living room.

He shouldn't even think about having affairs if he doesn't take good care of his three beautiful wives, especially Uchiha Hikaru.

Late at night, the head of state and his family once again shared a bed.

Uchiha Takehiro, who was being held tightly by Uchiha Hikaru, took out a crystal ball and projected his consciousness into Uzumaki Minako's room.

(For every clever plan you have, there's a countermeasure.)

(Hikaru, you're still a bit green.)

As the magical power surged silently, the body left in the room became a puppet with eight thousand spear imprints and the ability to trigger alerts.

It will automatically alert Uchiha Takeoshi whenever it senses someone waking up in the room.

His original body, which lacked the eight thousand spears imprint, was enveloped in the gentle and affectionate embrace of Minako Uzumaki.

After the storm subsided, Uchiha Takeo gently stroked the woman's smooth back and said softly, "Minako, once things settle down on the other continent, give me a child."

"You bastard, you finally agreed!"

Minako Uzumaki raised her head emotionally, her azure eyes brimming with tears, pearl-like tears falling like they had that night.

In the serene moonlight, the tearful beauty is both innocent and alluring.

"I thought you looked down on my status and were unwilling..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Interrupting Minako Uzumaki's words, Takeo Uchiha rolled over, looked at the beautiful woman beneath him with tender affection, and gently stroked her face.

"If I didn't want to, how could I possibly think about my Minako all the time?"

"Hmph, and you always come to see me in the middle of the night. People need sleep and to take care of themselves too."

The warm hand on her face made Minako's eyes well up with tears. After a small complaint, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Uchiha Takeoshi's neck, speaking in a coquettish tone.

"Couldn't you have come earlier next time?"

"This is indeed a problem that we have to face."

With a firm resolve, Uchiha Takeo slowly said, "I will try my best to manage things at home, and then I will reveal your identity..."

"Minako doesn't want to!"

The sudden refusal stunned Uchiha Muan for a moment, and then he heard Uzumaki Minako utter words that made his blood boil.

"Don't you, Ansang, wish that the matriarch of the Senju clan would secretly get pregnant with your child?"

"You pesky little devil!"

The night is always so short, and Konoha is once again bathed in the light of dawn.

Meanwhile, in the alien continent of [Re-Estize], the indigenous kingdom's high command remained unaware that the entire harbor city of [Ye-Naiur] had fallen completely into the hands of the ninja world.

A continental teleportation array, carved into Earl Nai'er's castle, is continuously transporting combat ninjas and everyday ninjas who maintain order at the grassroots level throughout the ninja world.

The nine major cities of the indigenous kingdom—the large southern city of [Li-Bororol] and the eastern military port city of [Li-Uloval]—are being infiltrated and replaced one by one by combat ninjas.

In a large military camp near the metropolis of [Li Bororal], Uchiha Naka, having used the Transformation Jutsu, became an officer in the camp and met a man with many scars on his face who looked like a warrior—the indigenous Marquis Bororal.

"How weak."

"However, we should also thank you for your weakness."

Having transformed into the appearance of Borokar, Uchiha Naka easily took control of the 5,000-strong military camp and began to plant combat ninjas into the camp with the eyes and voice of a raptor.

With the absolute aristocratic power of "Boroor" and the overwhelming strength of the fighting ninjas, control of the entire large city of "Rei Boroor" is being transferred to the hands of the ninja world in an orderly manner.

In the military port city of [Ly-Urovar], there are now many unfamiliar faces with clothing styles different from those of the indigenous kingdom and with softer facial features.

This type of person is moving south from the northern end of [Rie-Yestej] at an unimaginable speed, spreading to all medium and large cities and fortified towns throughout the kingdom.

The changes at the top did not significantly affect the lives of the lower classes. At most, people were curious about the change in the city's officials, but the tasks they were supposed to perform remained unchanged.

【Ye Nai'ur】Adventurers' Guild.

The sudden, named mission brought together the most prestigious and renowned Mithril-class adventurer team in this harbor city, the "Four Weapons," to a small meeting in a private room on the second floor of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Escorting a VIP from the Earl's mansion, from [Ye Nai'ur] to the royal capital [Li Yesti'ge], and then to the fortress city [Ye Lantier], from north to south, traversing the entire kingdom, normally takes a month for the round trip."

"During this month, we must not only ensure the safety of important figures, but also teach them magic and martial arts, and obey all their orders that do not endanger their lives."

"The reward for the mission is the right to rule a small town near [Ye Nai'ur]. In other words, it turns us adventurers who have braved wind and rain into noble lords whom everyone looks up to. If you want to give up the mission after accepting it, the compensation will be extremely high, and we will never be able to repay it in our lifetime."

The one speaking was Sukama Opero, the captain of the Four Weapons, a female warrior who was the goddess of fire among the four gods of water, fire, earth, and wind in the Kingdom of Faith.

Her original hair color was the gold commonly seen in the kingdom, but it has now been dyed a beautiful silver color.

This isn't about dressing up or having fun; it's about using an eye-catching appearance to promote your team, making a lasting impression and thus getting more assignments.

There are actually quite a few adventurers like her, some even dyeing their hair pink to become famous.

Therefore, in terms of appearance, Sukama Opero is undoubtedly a valiant and beautiful female warrior with a high nose bridge, deep eyes, a curvaceous figure, and silver hair casually draped behind her. Her strength level is almost close to that of an adventurer of the Orichalcos level.

"Everyone, please share your thoughts and opinions. After all, the rewards and punishments for this escort mission are quite unbelievable."

"Captain, what's there to consider? Just agree."

"Become the ruler of the town, hehe, there are so many cute little boys in the town. After becoming a noble, the big sister will enjoy the boys' virginity without any hesitation."

Captain Sukama Opero's words caused the pink-haired woman, who exuded an aura of eroticism, to cover her mouth and let out a silly laugh. The slurping sound of swallowing saliva and her words, which revealed her extremely frivolous nature, made the three teammates around her turn pale.

This heavyweight character, who wants to turn into a truck and run over any young boy she sees, is Lilynet Biani, a powerful priestess in the team who worships the god of earth.

The earth god's seal hanging around her neck was sandwiched between her high, protruding breasts, which could be considered somewhat blasphemous.

The lower half of her clerical attire was specially and meticulously tailored, revealing her long, slender legs with full flesh marks etched by black fishnet stockings, making her look almost like a prostitute dressed in clerical robes.

Lilynet Biani, a priestess with a fishnet, pink hair, and large breasts, is a highly sought-after woman with numerous attractive features. Her only regret is that her crush is a young boy.

The spellcaster and the thief in the group of four were both men in their thirties. They began to express their opinions, with the thief speaking first.

"If we don't spend extravagantly, ten gold coins can support a family of three to live comfortably in the kingdom for a whole year. As a mithril-level adventurer team, our annual income is about four thousand gold coins."

"The tax revenue of a small town is only about eight hundred to one thousand gold coins. We are a coastal city, so let's say nine hundred gold coins."

"Compared like this, it's clearly better to become an adventurer."

"But the accounts cannot be compared so roughly."

The male magic chanter added, "While we earn a lot, we also spend a tremendous amount to better complete our missions, making it impossible to save any money."

"My staff and the priest's staff cost nearly six thousand gold coins."

"The captain's full-body enchanted armor and magic hand axe also cost seven thousand gold coins. Thieves are a little better off, but they still have to spend seven or eight hundred gold coins a year on magic potions."

"Not to mention those recovery potions that cost a dozen or twenty at a time and must be purchased. If you mess up a mission, you might lose money. If you suffer a serious injury, you might work for nothing for a whole year."

"Even if you end up disabled, that's a lifetime of torment, or you unfortunately die. What's the point of earning more money then?"

"Just like the last mission to hunt down the forest monsters, Captain Sukama almost got disfigured."

The magic chanter's words made the two beautiful ladies nod.

The thief then added to the list.

"Becoming a noble in a small town is different. We no longer need to spend exorbitant amounts of money to maintain our magical equipment and buy potions. In this respect, I feel like we adventurers are working for blacksmiths and alchemists."

"We don't have to get up early or work late anymore. We can sleep in warm beds every day, eat hot meals every day, and even take a bath every day. Nine hundred gold coins are enough for the four of us to live a comfortable life."

"The small town in the later stages can also become a city through our governance. At that time, everyone will be lying in a continuous stream of gold and silver, enjoying the luxurious life of the nobility, and our descendants will also be able to live a carefree life."

Sukama Opero glanced at the expressions of the three men, all of whom wore identical expressions of agreement.

Similarly, she didn't want to continue her adventurous life of being exposed to the elements, but as a team leader, she had encountered traps in her long years of missions, and the rewards for these missions were simply not commensurate with their difficulty.

"The mission requires us to escort a VIP to the royal capital, [Rie Yestege]. We've traveled this route many times; it's a mission that any mid-level adventurer could handle, so there's no need for us high-level adventurers."

"With such a generous reward for the mission, the lives of the four of us are pretty much over."

"Does the captain think there's a trap?"

When Lillinet Biani got serious, she was also Sukama Opero's capable assistant. The pink-haired priest carefully considered the mission requirements and then spoke.

"Ensuring the safety of important figures is a given. Teaching them magic and martial arts, for the sake of the reward, is fine too. I reckon they won't even value our abilities. The rest are all orders that don't involve life-threatening situations. Does the captain have any issues with this?"

"Yes, for all orders that don't involve life-threatening situations, if the other side tries to act recklessly, we simply have no room to refuse."

"What a mess, hehe. If the other person is a cute little boy, it wouldn't be a problem."

Seeing Lillinet Biani thinking about lewd things again, Sukama Opero couldn't help but stand up and slap her on the back, causing her breasts to shake violently.

"it hurts."

"Be serious!"

Lillinet Biani glanced resentfully at Sukama Opero, who had returned to her seat with her arms crossed, and said with a pout, "Since you're worried, why don't we go and ask that important person for details?"

"I've thought about it too, but the new black-haired guild leader from the Adventurers' Guild refused to reveal any information about the mission, implying that if I didn't want to take it, I could find someone else."

"Changing the player won't work!"

The magic chanter and the thief shouted in unison, "Fortune favors the bold! We risk our lives to hunt monsters, and we'll spend a month serving our noble lord. Just bear with it!"

"Aren't you afraid that some important person likes men and will demand that you serve him naked in the street?"

The magic chanter and the thief both shrank back in unison, thinking of the nobles' shameless and absurd lives. They wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words, and wore a smirk on their faces.

"We can't think of nobles as so bad. Besides, the other party is a big shot from Earl Nair's castle. Given Earl Nair's kind and generous nature, it's impossible for him to be such a pervert."

"That important person might be Count Nair's child, or perhaps his youngest son. He might want the four of us to form a bond during our journey and become his tutor."

The thief's words sharpened the goddess of lust's eyes to the point of vulture-like glint, and greedy saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

"The third boy, he's just twelve years old. It's definitely time for him to travel around the country and broaden his horizons. On the way, I'll let the young boy understand what the beauty of an older sister is."

"You keep talking about 'shota' all the time. You'll ruin yourself sooner or later."

The magic chanter ignored Lillinet Biani's utterly appalling expression and Sukama Opero's angry rebuke, and spoke with a furrowed brow.

"It's also possible that the other party has ulterior motives, but as the captain said, it's enough to buy our lives. For the sake of our future and the future of our descendants, we can take the risk."

Finally, a cold glint appeared in the magic chanter's eyes, "If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to run away. The fortress city of [Ye Lantil] happens to be adjacent to the theocracy and the empire."

Unable to pay hefty compensation and unwilling to be hunted down by adventurers from their own country, fleeing to a neighboring country is the best option. After all, as long as you have the strength, you can live a good life in any country.

"Run away when things are hopeless..."

The reputation of the "Four Weapons," which Sukama Opero had worked hard for nearly ten years to achieve, was undoubtedly the one thing he was most reluctant to give up.

However, everyone was reluctant to give up this task, which was of unknown difficulty but offered lucrative rewards.

"Right now we can only trust Count Nair's character. Let's take on the mission first, and then see how things go. If things don't work out, everyone should be prepared."

"Whether it's collecting evidence of the other party's prior breach of contract, or our escape route."

"Understood, Captain."

After the four weapons reached a consensus, Sukama Opero left the private room and went to the guild master's office at the far end of the second floor. As soon as he entered, he saw the new guild master, a middle-aged man with the strange surname Nara and a black pineapple-shaped hairstyle.

Despite his seemingly frail body, he exuded a sense of oppression, like a prehistoric beast, over the female warrior.

Sukama Opero bowed. "Guild Master Nara, we, the Four Weapons, are willing to accept the guild's mission."

"A wise choice."

Nara Shikamaru, the patriarch of the Nara clan who had been on the front lines since yesterday, put down the guild documents in his hand and took out the mission scroll given to him by Uchiha Takeoshi from his waist.

At first, he was puzzled as to why the leader would hire these weaklings, but after seeing the two attractive women among the four weapons, he could roughly guess the leader's thoughts.

These exotic women, who all possess rare and precious items like the "Super Power Pill" at home, are all a little envious of Nara Shikamei.

However, due to Senju Moriki's revelation, Super God Power Pill was secretly warned by Uzumaki Mito, and from then on, it could only be produced in secret. This caused Nara Shikanaru, who had been severely injured by Uchiha Madara and almost lost his chance to become a ninja, to feel lost for a while.

"This is the mission scroll. The detailed mission departure time is written on it. Open it and take a look when you get back."

"I understand, President Nara."

After leaving the office, Sukama Opero breathed a sigh of relief and walked briskly back to her previous private room to read the contents of the scroll with the other members.

"There's nothing particularly new about the mission itself, but what surprised me was the paper on the scroll. It's different from what I've seen before; the material..."

The magic chanter, touching the scroll, hadn't thought for long before the others pulled him along to buy the necessary items for their long journey.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Takeoshi, far away in the ninja world, arrived at Oni Ninja Village. While playing with the adorable little Miroku, he listened to Momiji recount the changes in Oni Ninja Village and finally talked about the changes that the Black Corner Region had brought to the ninja world.

"Lord Wu'an, after the news of the construction of the Susanoo statue in the village spread, Hanzo of the Salamander Village, the leader of Amegakure, and Han, the leader of Iwagakure, rushed to the village, wanting to see me."

"Summon Tachibana no Tachibana, who's been struggling with the Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique these past few days and is practically losing her fur," Uchiha Takeo said nonchalantly. "Let her play and relax with Miroku."

"They all acted quite quickly. Did they explain their purpose?"

"We all want to borrow the Jonin from Oni Ninja Village. What are your thoughts, Lord Wu'an?"

"Just do what you think is right. If you think their conditions are reasonable, agree to them; if not, refuse. Don't take it too seriously. The Black Corner Region's affairs won't affect the Oni Ninja Village."

"I understand."

Hongye nodded, and then spoke her mind.

"Lord Wu'an, should the Demon Ninja Village be annexed by Konoha?"

Why would you have this thought?

Miroku was no longer in the room. Uchiha Muan pulled Momiji's voluptuous body into his arms, looked down at the shrine maiden with her rosy cheeks, and asked with a smile.

"Without Lord Wu'an's protection, after the Black Corner Ninja Village was ranked, the territory of the Demon Ninja Village would inevitably shrink, either being occupied by the neighboring Iwagakure Village or the Sunagakure Village."

"Therefore, for the sake of the future, merging the Demon Village into Konoha and making it the place of worship for the Uchiha clan is the best choice."

"Hmph, I am who I will be from now on!"

Uchiha Muan could easily understand the unspoken meaning in Kureha's words. She was simply worried that if he were to fall flat on his face one day, there would be no one to take care of the Demon Ninja Village behind him. He angrily pinched the shrine maiden's nose.

"God may not die, but God may change His mind."

"Right now, you big-breasted, brainless shrine maiden, what you should be doing is serving your god well, not thinking about the future."

Grabbing the groping hand that was groping her, Momiji looked earnestly at Uchiha Takeoshi, a hint of sorrow in her eyes, "Lord Takeoshi, you are the one chosen by prophecy, but none of those who are prophesied can..."

"Then let me be the first one."

Uchiha Wu'an remained calm. Prophecy wasn't something predetermined. With the power of the Six Paths, he had nothing to fear as long as he didn't do anything reckless.

"And as long as I don't go to that underground palace, nothing will happen to me, right?"

"As long as Lord Wu'an doesn't put himself in danger, I'll feel much more at ease."

With her face flushed, Momiji placed the salted pork knuckle inside the collar of her shrine maiden robe and continued speaking.

"But I still want to merge the Oni Village into Konoha. That way, the shrine won't need to train combat ninjas anymore, and it would be a good thing to provide Konoha with life ninjas."

Mergers and acquisitions may happen in the future, but I don't want to do them now.

Uchiha Muan said slowly, "No matter where you are, comparison is what motivates people or forces to improve. If everyone were to lie low like you, the vitality of the ninja world would inevitably decline."

"Because most people think, 'Since Konoha is ahead of us, what difference does it make whether I try hard or not?'"

"If the ninja village system is maintained, it is obvious that in order to gain more benefits for one's own ninja village and prevent it from being encroached upon by other ninja villages, it is necessary to vigorously develop the ninja village."

"Similarly, only the strong can acquire more ideas, which will become a trend in the ninja world. In the future, the ninja world will surely be a ninja era for all people, and the starting point for combat ninjas must be Jonin."

"Let's discuss the merger when that time comes."

"Let everything take its natural course."

Uchiha Takeo stroked the already aroused Kureha, while the shrine maiden swayed her body and began her daily duties as a servant of the gods, her melodious voice soaring to the heavens.
