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

Chapter 137 The Taste

For thousands of years, no orthodox human on this other continent has reached the level of a hero, equivalent to the powerful ninjas of the ninja world. Only a very small number of abnormal individuals have become the pillars of humanity.

If the Dragon Emperor hadn't summoned the players to descend and improved the bloodline of humans from another continent, it would have been almost impossible for a true dragon king comparable to one who wielded primordial magic to be born.

It's as if there's a lock that firmly restricts the limits of humanity on this alien continent, reflecting the saying, "Like begets like."

This phenomenon is common in the ninja world as well, but the situation is not as severe as in the other continent.

Onoki, Hanzo the Salamander, and Might Guy are all prime examples.

Bloodline determines a ninja's lower limit, while talent determines their upper limit.

The current Uchiha clan possesses Fire Release, Lava Release, and the Sharingan. Their minimum skill level is Jonin, and their maximum skill level is Kage. Compared to before, the number one clan in the ninja world can be crossed out. Now, they should be the number one clan in the world!

However, for an Uchiha ninja to become a Super Kage, they must also be exceptionally talented and unconventional—that is, possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, or be a bloodline-eliminated, perfect Jinchuriki, and Sage Mode user.

The most direct way is the awakening of the kaleidoscope, but this relies on the outburst of emotions.

Some Uchiha ninjas experience emotional rollercoasters, going from high to low, and even when they're on the verge of death from the intense stimulation, they still don't awaken their Sharingan, let alone their Mangekyou Sharingan.

It's like solving a math problem; if you don't know it, you simply don't know it. There's no room for wishful thinking.

The Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan – each step is more difficult than the last. Even now, none of the Uchiha ninjas cloned by the Konoha Academy have successfully awakened the Sharingan.

There must be some kind of rule binding them.

Research on Wood Release has made good progress; some clones are already able to use Wood Release ninjutsu and survive for a period of time.

However, the power of Wood Release is only comparable to that of Fire Release and Lava Release.

Just as Uchiha Takeo and Minamoto Kaori were mutually dependent, in the lounge of the Presidential Building, Tachibana Satoshi, feeling slightly uncomfortable, put on Uchiha Takeo's oversized T-shirt, which covered his lower body.

The lack of fur covering his body made Orange feel a chill, and his legs, perfectly proportioned to his body, swung back and forth.

"Orange, how does it feel to live as a human from now on?"

Minako Uzumaki looked the golden-haired, jade-faced cat-eared loli in front of her up and down, marveling at her. She had already decided to go back and study the [Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique] to make herself even more perfect.

"Meow feels okay, just a little uncomfortable."

Orange-saurus twitched its ears and tail, then stood up and began to walk around the room. As it walked, it unconsciously lay down on the ground.

From behind Minako Uzumaki, you can see Tachibana's raised cat tail and her fair, rosy skin.

This caused Minako Uzumaki to blush slightly. She gently shifted her gaze to the large bed beside her, and with a flicker of her eyes, she spoke to Tachibana.

"Tachibana-za, I'm also a pretty good medical ninja. Let me take a look at your body."

The Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique is ultimately a forbidden technique involving the human body. Before using it, one must carefully examine the body from the inside out.

Minako Uzumaki mimicked Takeo Uchiha's tone and manner, speaking with righteous indignation.

"The human body can be described as a sophisticated instrument; any accident can lead to serious consequences."

"Then let's show it to Meow quickly! Meow still wants to become an invincible cat sage!"

At Minako's instruction, Tachibana lay down on the bed and quickly revealed a comfortable smile, just like when he was still an orange cat being petted.

(The skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones are exactly the same as those of humans. With Orange's knowledge, it's impossible to do everything in such detail, not even for me.)

(From this, we can infer whether the [Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique] can simulate the bloodline limit of the ninja clan?)

Minako's palms were glowing with a green light. Before long, she had touched Tachibana's entire body and collected some of his hair and blood to take to Konoha Hospital for testing to see if his genes matched those of humans.

If that were truly possible, all the summoning beasts in the ninja world could probably become human, and if bloodline limits could be simulated, the very heavens of the ninja world would likely change.

After pondering for a while, Minako Uzumaki suddenly felt a movement behind her, and a pair of large hands reached in from behind her bodycon skirt.

The beautiful woman's complexion quickly turned rosy, and she lay down on the bed like Tachibana, waiting for Uchiha Takeoshi's detailed examination.

(here we go again.)

Tachibana was no stranger to this scene. She stretched and was about to get up and return to the empty area of ​​the ruins when Uchiha Takeo grabbed her cat tail.

"Meow meow meow?"

Tachibana turned around, somewhat dazed, and her adorable tilted head made Uchiha Takeo hug her tightly. He took a deep breath, and the fragrance filling his nose made him let out a long sigh.

"Just as I suspected, it still tastes like that orange-skinned girl!"

………………

"My Lord."

In the Sunagakure leader's building, Ebina spread out a map of the current ninja world on the table. The land that originally belonged to Sunagakure had shrunk by more than half, which made Ebina feel more and more heartbroken as he looked at it.

"The desert afforestation project is already showing initial results, and those areas that were previously separated can now become rare fertile land!"

"The matter is already settled, so let's not wallow in self-pity."

Chiyo, who was becoming increasingly dignified as a leader, had a deep look in her eyes. Without any extra expression or words, she focused her gaze on Bunfuku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, who looked guilty.

"Funfu, I have exchanged some basic sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan at the Konoha Military Department. They should greatly alleviate your condition. I'll leave the leadership work in the alternate continent to you from now on."

"Thank you, Chief, for disregarding past grievances and allowing me to atone for my sins in the battle of Black Corner Region."

Information about the battle in the Black Corner Region spread throughout the ninja world. Jinchuriki were not well-liked in their villages. If it weren't for the emergence of a ninja world leader who valued strength, Jinchuriki would have been as unpopular as rats in the street, hated by everyone.

These days, Bunpuku has been staying almost entirely indoors in Sunagakure, partly to avoid hearing gossip and affecting his state of mind.

On the other hand, he devoted himself to studying the sealing techniques sent by Chiyo, and tried to make up for his weaknesses in order to clear his name.

"Fenfu, don't let everyone down again."

Chiyo's words, half warning and half expectation, made Bunpuku nod heavily. "I will certainly not let the village down this time, in the desert city exploration mission arranged by His Majesty!"

"That's good."

Chiyo gave Bunfuku a deep look, her expression resolute, and said nothing more. She then turned to look at Ebina.

"Next, I will be going to another continent to accompany His Majesty. I'll leave the village affairs to you. Remember to send a message promptly if you are unsure about any political matters. There are also Sunagakure outposts in other continents."

Haibina said in a deep voice, "Chief, I understand."
