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

Chapter 126 The Golden Princess

[Central Ninja Army] Garrison.

The fortress was located on the outskirts of the capital, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, in a quiet and secluded environment.

The construction ninjas dispatched by Konoha used their professional earth and wood ninjutsu to quickly build a large-scale and well-organized military fortress in the center of the forest in just two or three days.

The fortress was surrounded by a powerful barrier spell, forming an invisible shield that kept out any possible outside spying.

Currently, the Royal Capital Magic Chanters Guild is unable to break through the barrier spell.

Because of the distance, if the teleportation array in the capital city were to malfunction, the ninja army could march to the capital at full speed in less than fifteen minutes, maintaining absolute control over the capital.

At that moment, the teleportation array lit up, and seven figures appeared one after another. The more than thirty squad leaders who had been waiting all knelt on one knee upon seeing the person at the front, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Supreme Leader!"

Uchiha Muan slowly looked around, a look of satisfaction on his face.

These squad leaders are all elite Jonin level, there are no mediocre ones among them, and you can even see many familiar faces, such as my wife Kaori Minamoto's personal guard.

"Everyone, get up."

"The Central Ninja Army has just been established and there are still many things to do. Everyone, please go and attend to your own matters."

After meeting with the mid-level ninja officers and learning more about the ninja army, night fell.

In the royal capital city of Lo Lunt, the third princess, Lana Thiel Shardon Lyle Vansef—the Golden Princess Lana—the only member of the royal family still free to move about, sat by the palace window, bathed in moonlight as bright as mercury.

Her long, glossy golden hair shimmered with a silvery glow in the moonlight.

On the girl's delicate face, her lips were like smiling cherry blossoms.

She wore a light blue princess dress, and her exposed skin was very pale, like a crystal-clear snowflake.

The deep blue eyes are reminiscent of sapphires, full of soft hues.

(What kind of person would the leader of the ninja world be?)

(he……)

(Can I control it?)

Her gentle eyes lost their light at this moment, transforming into a look of scorn. Lana recalled everything she had observed, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, as if she were anticipating something.

Because of her exceptional talent, everyone around her sees her as a complete idiot.

The biological father was a man who, when read, was compassionate, but when written, was indecisive and incompetent.

The biological elder brother is corrupt and greedy, unable to distinguish his own identity, and actually makes deals with [Eight Fingers], destroying his own country. He is reckless and arrogant, and his intelligence is comparable to that of a pig-man.

Although the second brother is physically like a pig, he has some brains. He knows the dangers now and can act for the future. But he is ultimately in the realm of mortals. Jumping around will only lead to his death sooner.

Even the captain of the Steel-class adventurer team, [Blue Rose], who had accomplished heroic feats and was known as [the Radiance of Life], was still seen by Lana as a tool that could be perfectly utilized.

and so--

Why can't others understand things that I can understand?

Unable to grasp this, Lana gradually became incomprehensible to others, gradually became twisted, gradually buried everything in her heart, developed anorexia, and slowly walked towards death.

But one rainy night, he met his beloved pet and wanted to live again. So he gradually showed his talents, improved his status in the royal family, and got better treatment for himself and his pet.

But the sudden arrival of the ninjas changed everything.

(Uchiha Rai, commander of the Central Ninja Army, is a relative of the ninja world's leader. He is similar to Lajus, possessing great strength but lacking intelligence to match it. As long as he has value, such a person is not difficult to control with gentle persuasion.)

Recalling Uchiha Rai's cold demeanor and aloof attitude in front of her, Lana felt little fear.

If you can communicate, you can use your superior observation skills to find the other party's weaknesses, and then you can counter their moves.

(What I'm worried about now is the leader of the ninja world. Is he extraordinary in martial prowess, extraordinary in wisdom, or both?)

In the afternoon, after learning from the combat ninja guarding the royal city that she would be paying respects to Uchiha Takeoshi the next day, Lana began to analyze the man in her mind.

The basic intelligence information was gleaned from the subtle changes in the combat ninja's expression and tone.

These highly trained combat ninjas never uttered a word of information except for necessary missions. Lana felt that these units were very much like assassins—like the ninja assassin sisters in [Blue Rose].

The fact that the leader of the ninja world could inspire such uncontrollable admiration in these assassins who had silently taken control of the kingdom speaks volumes about his power!

(Will they be someone who can understand me?)

Lana pondered, then jumped for joy, and couldn't help but rise from her seat, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and gently bowed to the moonlight.

Then she tiptoed, her slender, fair arms swaying with her supple, boneless waist.

The flowing skirt, like a blooming blue lotus, slowly unfolds.

The cool moonlight is a silent accompaniment.

………………

Royal Capital Adventurers' Guild.

Sukama and Lilynet were received by Guild Master Nara Shikamei.

"Ladies, we meet again."

Nara Shikamei, who was well-informed, politely arranged for someone to pour a cup of tea for the two women, and then said with a smile.

"In terms of strength and merit, the [Four Weapons] have met the requirements for advancement. Congratulations to the two of you for being Orichalcum-level adventurers from now on."

Their strength was somewhat aided by the convenience of their equipment, and their merits were also slightly different, but these were not problems.

"Thank you for the guild's recognition."

Seeing that this person had jumped from the Harbor City Adventurers' Guild to the Royal Capital Guild, his status must be quite high. The two women first exchanged a polite greeting, and then Sukama couldn't help but ask.

"President Nara, could you tell us about Young Master Wu'an?"

"I dare not meddle in matters concerning His Majesty the Ninja King." Amid the disappointed gazes of the two women, Nara Shikamei pulled out the "Biography of the Ninja King" that he had prepared beforehand and said with a smile.

"However, you two can learn about the leader's whereabouts from the books published in the Ninja World Continent. As for the rest, that depends on your efforts."

Nara Shikamei, who didn't mind making a casual connection, looked at Sukama and Lilynet, who were happily accepting the gift, and took out the Orichalcum Adventurer's Mark, and continued.

"If the [Four Weapons] team wants to add more personnel, I have a good candidate in mind."
