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

Chapter 153 Mizuki no Haku

A sudden, gurgling sound of blood surging arose, accompanied by the rapidly ascending fusion curve on the instrument screen, and [Root]'s eyes widened in shock.

(This completely defies common sense!)

[Root]'s eyes twitched, and his chest heaved violently before he slowly calmed down.

He put aside all the shock and stopped thinking about things that weren't his concern, and asked softly, "Sir, should we delete this data completely?"

Do you want to stay?

Uchiha Takeo's question prompted the research-obsessed Root to kneel without hesitation, pleading, "Please grant my request, sir!"

"If we can unravel its mysteries, the path to immortality will surely be right before our eyes."

[Root] One can even imagine that if a creature that combines the advantages and strengths of various races were to be born in the future, it could be given the name of a god!

But do gods also grow old and die?

"If you want it, then stay."

"Thank you, sir!"

Uchiha Muan didn't go to see the overjoyed Root, nor did he care whether Root could be researched and developed.

I am just a special case; nothing can be found in the research on the "roots," which is purely natural.

However, if we discover anything, that would be great.

After all, no matter what the outcome, he will always be the first to enjoy it.

Then, depending on the situation, it will spread to the ninja world, raising the lower limit of strength of the people of the ninja world and even the people of the Magic Continent. In the end, everyone will become the point of sublimation, returning to the embrace of Uchiha Wu'an, and embarking on the path to immortality with him.

The glass container covering the operating table slowly opened, and several researchers stepped forward to gently remove the wires connecting the frost dragon's bloodline, revealing the clone's current appearance.

The white frost on his body slowly melted, and his flowing black hair turned silver-white. As he slowly opened his eyes, his vertical dragon eyes carried a captivating and oppressive force.

A faint chill emanated from between his mouth and nose, causing nearby researchers to shiver involuntarily.

"My lord, how are you feeling?"

"Better than ever before!"

[Root] also walked up to the clone, looking at the clone who was still lying on the operating table with respect and fervor, and began to ask detailed questions.

One researcher was taking notes, while another was fiddling with instruments, recording the clone's current physical data.

Seeing this, Uchiha Wu'an had no intention of staying any longer. He turned around and slowly left the place, taking the private elevator to the second floor, where bloodline research was conducted.

Amidst the respectful gazes of many, Uchiha Wu'an slowly walked to the front of a house.

Unlocked by a combination of chakra and fingerprint verification, the heavy metal door produced an unusual scraping sound—the clanging of metal striking ice.

The biting cold didn't faze Uchiha Mu'an. Stepping inside, he was greeted by a naked half-dragon—scaled, horned, with wings on its back and ice crystals fluttering around it.

Among the dozen or so members of the Mizuki clan, he is the strongest but the least rational. He is more like a Kage-level beast than a human, or perhaps an abnormal being.

With his bone-chilling ice-elemental bloodline and frost dragon bloodline physique, he would easily crush Chiyo, who relies on puppets and poison, in a head-on confrontation.

But a dragon beast that is completely devoid of reason is a complete failure, and its future fate will either be to be used as a stud or to evolve its body into that of a true frost dragon.

Or, during the process of bloodline evolution, the bloodline may collapse and cause death.

"roar!"

The roaring sound, accompanied by the violent scraping of the Vajra chains, echoed in Uchiha Wu'an's ears.

With the Eternal Kaleidoscope open, even a dragon beast with strong mental resistance, or rather, one that is impossible to control, has a stabilizing force embedded in its chaotic and unpredictable brain under the control of a sixth-level mental power.

This gave the dragon beast's chaotic consciousness a direction to converge, and a glimmer of intelligence appeared in its murky and fierce eyes.

The transformation at the level of mental will is still ongoing. Uchiha Wu'an's methods are skillful and superb, and he quickly restored the half-dragon's consciousness. However, his past memories have been fragmented, and his open eyes are filled with curiosity and panic about the outside world.

He saw the man standing before him with his hands behind his back. The unforgettable memories touched his soul, causing him to instinctively kneel down and call out, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Um."

Uchiha Muan looked at the half-dragon's current appearance and nodded slightly.

Because his consciousness had been awakened, the surrounding cold was gradually subsiding, and the dragon-like features on the half-dragon, such as dragon horns and wings, were also retracting into his body.

She revealed an androgynous face that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, as well as a slender and tall figure. Most importantly, when she raised her head, her pure and gentle temperament reminded Uchiha Wu'an of the past, and he said softly.

"The past is meaningless to you. From now on, you will be the head of the newly established ninja clan—the Mizuki clan. I hereby bestow upon you the name Haku."

"Water without moonlight".

Mizuki Shiro blinked in confusion, muttered her name a few times, and then a happy expression appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty the Führer."

Upon learning that Uchiha Takeo had arrived on the second basement level, Uchiha Muneki, who was in charge of the Academy of Sciences, rushed over. When he saw that the half-dragon, who had been classified as a cripple, had regained consciousness, his eyes first showed surprise, and then calmness.

As the leader of their Uchiha clan, whatever he does is perfectly justified.

There's absolutely no need to make a fuss about it.

"Zongshu, Bai will be under your care for now. Treat him as one of our own."

Uchiha Muan reached out and stroked Mizuki Shiro's hair, Shiro's eyelids narrowing into crescent moons.

"This fierce-looking man is Uchiha Muneki. Haku will be learning from him for now. As for the rest of the Mizuki clan, I'll leave them to you."

Mizuki Haku patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Haku won't let you down!"

"Then I'll wait and see how Bai performs."

Uchiha Muan patted Mizuki Haku on the shoulder one last time before disappearing from the spot.

This time, Uchiha Muan was in a good mood and was willing to let one of the dragon beasts he found pleasing regain its sanity. As for the others, it would depend on their luck.

"Lord Zongshu, His Majesty the Führer has ordered me to follow your instructions. What should we do now?"

In the cold room, Mizuki Haku looked at Uchiha Muneki. His vertical dragon eyes sent a chill down Muneki's spine, even though he was already a Kage-level expert. Yet, he looked pleased.

"Clan Chief Minazuki, welcome to Konoha and become a member of the Führer's ranks."

"Now please come with me and change into a clean and presentable set of clothes."
