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

Chapter 155 Cemetery

"Tsunade, be good. I'll take you to cause trouble for Chranon later."

Uchiha Takeo stroked Tsunade's smooth blonde hair, then pouted and pointed at the expressionless Uzumaki Minako.

"Let's go after Minako finishes speaking."

Tsunade's face instantly fell, and she walked to Minako's side with her head down.

Under her mother's gentle yet stern gaze, she looked like a wilted eggplant, utterly listless.

"I'll go check on Orochimaru and the others."

Uchiha Muan entered the inner room and saw Orochimaru and Hiruko, who were wearing medical bandages and had only minor injuries, taking care of Jiraiya and Kato Dan, who were lying on the hospital bed looking sullen.

Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy were leaning against the headboard, resting with their eyes closed.

The atmosphere in the room wasn't heavy, probably because someone had offered some words of comfort; the injured people in the room were all holding back their anger.

Upon seeing the newcomer, they all looked on with surprise.

"It's only been a short time, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

The familiar tone made Orochimaru's eyes flicker, and he instantly realized that the Konoha Academy of Sciences must have developed something new.

Driven by curiosity, he hurriedly threw the towel he was using to wipe Jiraiya's sweat aside, almost hitting Jiraiya's face.

Amid Jiraiya's disgruntled grumbling, Orochimaru trotted over to Uchiha Takeo's side, his tone tinged with anticipation, "Teacher Takeo, has the Academy of Sciences developed a new Bloodline Seed yet?"

"This is different from the Blood Seed. It involves transplanting the Frost Dragon bloodline from the Magic Continent into the bodies of people in the Ninja World. You'll understand the specifics once you join the Academy of Sciences."

"Of course, there's also Hiruko."

Uchiha Muan looked at Hiruko, who was following Orochimaru. When their eyes met, the white-haired boy blushed.

Compared to the carefree Jiraiya, Hiruko's current temperament is not bad, it's just that their personalities are different, one is reserved and the other is arrogant.

When facing an enemy, they can strike without hesitation.

"Your Majesty the Führer."

"Alright, the injured person shouldn't move around!"

Uchiha Wu'an stopped the group of people who wanted to get out of bed to pay their respects. He glanced at their faces and noticed that his presence had made them nervous. He offered a few words of comfort and then left the room.

"Hiruko, when I get back this time, I will apply to my teacher to join the Academy of Sciences."

Orochimaru stared at the tightly closed door, his memory still lingering on Uchiha Takeo's tall, silver-white hair, and his tone gradually took on a fanatical quality.

"I don't enjoy fighting. Even if I become a Kage-level fighter, I'll still be a dispensable force in the Ninja World and the Magic Continent."

"In the teacher's eyes, they are probably like dust, easily blown away."

Orochimaru turned to look at Hiruko, his tawny, snake-like eyes filled with an indescribable determination. "But as long as we uncover the secrets of bloodlines and bloodstains, we can make more Konoha ninja truly strong!"

"I can't do it alone, but when everyone works together, even the gods have to lower their gaze!"

The impassioned tone stirred Hiruko's interest. He clenched his fist and nodded without hesitation, "Orochimaru, you're right."

"Everyone has their own expertise. Our ambition lies in the laboratory. As long as we can study the grand fusion of bloodstains, we can even artificially create immortal gods!"

"Then you two better keep up the good work!"

Jiraiya shouted, "Remember to give me the first opportunity to use your research findings! I will protect Konoha and our ninja world forever!"

Count me in!

Kato Dan smiled warmly, Hatake Sakumo smiled without saying a word, and Might Guy shouted with teary eyes, "This is youth."

Hearing the commotion inside, Uchiha Takeo looked leisurely at Tsunade, who was clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands and looked pitiful, and then at Uzumaki Minako, whose face seemed to say "Don't interrupt."

He shrugged and led Lilynet away from the Golden Pavilion.

"Young Master Wu'an, shall we take Sukama and the others with us?"

"No, they have their own things to do. Just the two of us will go and meet with Zhilanong's top disciple. Hopefully, he will give me a pleasant surprise."

The two walked towards the public cemetery, attracting countless glances along the way as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Lilynet puffed out her high, firm breasts, wrapped her arms around Uchiha Takeo's arm, asserting her male dominance, which made many beautiful women look at her with regret.

The man's eyes were filled with envy, but jealousy was simply nonexistent given the vast difference in their circumstances.

Soon, the two arrived at the public cemetery, where they saw haphazardly placed tombstones and wildly growing weeds and withered trees. The scene was chaotic, and many bones could be seen on the ground.

"Lilynet, when you go back, plan out this cemetery."

Uchiha Muan patted Lilynet's slender waist, and she understood and let go, taking out a staff from her ninja tool backpack. Her charming face turned serious and earnest.

The two continued deeper along the crooked dirt road, where the negative energy accumulated from countless dead people surged from the ground.

The purplish-black negative energy formed a thin mist, causing those who entered to feel a sense of unease from all sides.

Uchiha Muan felt the negative magic power slightly eroding his body. If it was only this level, an ordinary young man would become like a withered tree after staying inside for four or five years.

(Speaking of which, if we keep adding more necromancers, will they eventually gain absolute dominance over the undead?)

Ainz Ooal Gown's race is skeleton mage, which later advances to become the Grand Mage of the Dead, and finally the Ruler of the Dead. All his professions are related to the undead.

If he could control Ainz Ooal Gown, the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick [Ainz Ooal Gown] guild would fall under Uchiha Takeuchi's control.

Moreover, the members of this guild are all alien species, and there are many strange and unusual bloodlines among them. I remember that they were over level 80 and had two golden dragons obtained through spending money.

While Uchiha Takeo was lost in thought, the two arrived at a dilapidated and abandoned temple.

Near the temple, traces of battle remained, and a dozen or so wandering skeletons, noticing the approach of the living, spontaneously charged forward.

"Third-tier magic - Holy Light!"

A dazzling, warm light shone down from the staff, and the low-level skeletons it touched emitted wisps of blue smoke. Then, with a crack, their joints snapped, and they crumbled into a pile of white bones.

With a rustling sound, two figures emerged from the temple.
