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

Chapter 144 Live Broadcast

The creation of new magic stirred the three women's emotions. Their eyes, filled with affection, seemed to yearn to execute Uchiha Takeo on the spot and then ride on his back, singing and dancing.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Muan's main body was still in Konoha with his wife, while his clone sparred with the black-skinned Persian cat, Ades.

Amidst the disappointed gazes of the three women, he hurried back into the palace and began to organize the rudimentary magic system he had created.

The idea for the three-colored orbs originated from a game I played in my previous life called Dota, which featured a powerful mage hero who used different orbs to cast different spells.

The Fire Element Sphere, the Lightning Element Sphere, and the Wind Element Sphere, when combined in pairs, can unleash a fourth-tier fusion magic.

Once your strength reaches level 30 or above, you can fuse the three elements to unleash fifth-tier magic, and you will also gain access to a new elemental mage class.

It will likely be either an earth mage or a water mage.

As Uchiha Wu'an pondered, his consciousness suddenly leaped forward, following an unseen pull, and saw a vast, endless sea of ​​black magic power flowing with iridescent colors.

The two contrasting colors gave Uchiha Takeo the feeling that this was how it should be.

At the same time, as his ability to cast rank magic increased, the imprint he left on the sea of ​​magic became deeper and deeper, allowing him to receive more complex and profound magical knowledge.

It carries a strong sense of the idea that humans follow the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Countless magical knowledge, carrying "weight," entered Uchiha Wu'an's mind, and then, under the mental power of the Six Paths level, it was categorized and stored in the memory palace of his mind.

Ordinary magic chanters don't have his ability; they either need to learn magic knowledge from their predecessors.

Either you accumulate knowledge over a long period of time like Fluta, or you suffer a mental breakdown from receiving too much knowledge at once.

While the clone was immersed in the joy of training, the main body, far away in the Ninja World Headquarters Building, was watching an epic live battlefield broadcast.

Konoha, Military Intelligence Department.

In a room spacious enough to seat a hundred people without feeling crowded, a huge curtain, thirty meters long and ten meters wide, hangs on one wall.

The screen was currently playing footage of Amegakure gathering its elite troops to launch a surprise attack on a granary near the Bahars Empire's garrison. The high-speed combat ninja troops, without the aid of magic, ran at full speed far exceeding the speed of the empire's warhorses.

Whoohoo!

Although no sound could be transmitted from behind the curtain, the onlookers, looking at the raging sea of ​​fire displayed on the curtain, could almost hear the scorching sound of the flames and the mournful cries of the enemies who perished in the fire.

Sitting in the very center, Uchiha Muan reached out and manipulated the crystal ball in front of him. The images on the screen began to zoom in or out in sync, finding Hanzo of the Salamander who commanded the ninja army.

"Summoning Jutsu: Salamander - Ibuse!"

A giant salamander covered in fleshy bumps, with short limbs, four fingers on its forelimbs, five toes on its hind limbs, a short, flattened tail, and no scales, appeared on the battlefield.

Seeing this, the nearby ninja began to withdraw in an orderly manner according to plan. Before long, it became a situation where one man and one beast faced a thousand troops alone.

Hanzo the Salamander gazed indifferently at the gathering garrison, then glanced at the granary city not far away, patted the salamander at his feet, and a cruel look appeared in his eyes.

"Poisonous mist spray!"

The salamander opened its mouth and spewed out a well-prepared, deep purple sea of ​​poisonous mist, which evaporated into the sky along with the scorching flames and merged into the clouds.

In no time, the sky was dyed a pale purple, echoing the firelight on the ground, making the people in front of the curtain feel as if they were witnessing the arrival of hell.

"Water Release: A Thousand Rains!"

As Hanzo the Salamander formed hand seals, fine rain began to fall from the pale purple clouds. However, the rain brought not life-giving energy, but deadly venom!

Those touched by the rain fell to the ground without exception, offering no resistance whatsoever, and died in droves.

The few struggles it makes are like a small fish caught on a hook, wiggling its tail before falling into the fisherman's hands.

Flames shot into the sky, turning the horizon crimson, while purple rain drizzled down, and mournful screams echoed in all directions.

The surviving Imperial knights scattered and fled. The last of the Empire's Four Knights, the defector Renas, who was hiding nearby, had her once beautiful golden hair now filthy. Half of her face, which had been hidden by her golden hair, was now visible, and her right cheek was constantly secreting a yellow, pus-like fluid.

This is a wound left on Renas by a curse cast by a special monster before her death, which unexpectedly granted her the high-ranking class of [Cursed Knight], giving her unparalleled attack power among the Four Knights.

But this same path brought her both success and failure. Disfigured, Renas was expelled from her proud family and her engagement to her fiancé was canceled. A noble young lady who had made great contributions to her family and was full of honors suddenly became a wanderer, causing a drastic change in the girl's character.

Renas, who once took pride in sweeping away the monsters that appeared in her family's territory, has become ruthless and willing to do anything to break the curse.

After becoming one of the Four Horsemen, Rena, with the support of the Blood Emperor Gilknefer, slaughtered her exiled family and her abandoned fiancé, demonstrating her unwavering loyalty to the Empire.

"Run! Keep running!"

Perhaps due to the cursed power flowing through her body, Renas had good resistance to the poisonous rain. In addition, as a knight and priestess, she had strong physical strength and constantly healed herself.

Renas luckily escaped the poisonous rain's reach, but her perfectly intact left cheek—originally a beautiful face with a pleasing appearance, full lips, and pearly white teeth—was now marred by wispy purple spots, resembling the ugly marks left by a spider crawling haphazardly.

At the same time, a new power was growing within Renas, making her body stronger and more powerful, and her running speed faster and faster.

In the dim light, the seemingly insurmountable boundary between the realm of heroes and the realm of the abnormal has already been half-crossed by Renas!

"Hmph, so this is the Kage-level powerhouse who is about to be born in the Empire."

Hanzo the Salamander stared intently at the female knight, Rena Roxbury, one of the Four Knights whose intelligence was on his desk and who looked like a stray dog. Her eyes revealed a sinister and terrifying killing intent.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, everyone on the screen could feel that the ninjas below the Kage level in the Military Intelligence Department had goosebumps and felt fear rising in their hearts.
