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

Chapter 173 Formation

Just as the Great Tomb of Nazarick was preparing for war, Mito Uzumaki flew down from the sky on the Nine-Tails and then arranged for the Nine-Tails to go to the Free City for inspection.

The previous battles had thrown the city into chaos. Even with the timely intervention of combat ninjas to restore order, it was still not as awe-inspiring as the Nine-Tails looming in the sky.

"Honestly, why did you go so far? Wasn't the original plan to visit as a guest?"

Mito Uzumaki, who had not brought them to the brink of death and thus made Demiurge's will to die conscious, walked to Uchiha Takeo's side. Her graceful and elegant demeanor made it impossible for her to believe that she was a powerful fighter who could unleash a punch with power approaching that of the Six Paths.

Such a woman is best suited for the royal palace, where she wears a magnificent and colorful robe, her eyes sparkling, and speaks in a dignified tone to issue commands.

"It's their fault for not recognizing the situation. When Demiurge tried to self-destruct, the main body couldn't stop him in time. The only option was to kill him and capture the other three demons back to Konoha."

Uchiha Takeo chuckled. "This must be a case of plans not keeping up with changes."

"With your abilities, you really can't do it? I think it's because no one has contradicted you for too long, and you've almost developed a 'those who obey prosper, those who defy perish' mentality."

Mito Uzumaki recalled the massive hand that had just torn open space and sealed off the heavens and earth, and a tremor ran through her heart.

Put yourself in their shoes: even with all the preparations, facing Uchiha Takeo would probably end up just like Demiurge.

It's hard to believe that such overwhelming power couldn't stop Demiurge's self-destruction.

But this overwhelming strength is not a reason for me to accept that my daughter-in-law has been captivated by him, and that she will give birth to his child ten months later!

"I hope that in the end, you won't end up being abandoned by everyone, just like Uchiha Madara did back then."

"Mrs. Mito, is this how you see me now?"

Uchiha Muan took a few steps closer, almost touching Uzumaki Mito's body, causing the beautiful mature woman to subconsciously take a step back, while Uchiha Muan followed with a step.

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't Mrs. Mito think I was someone who would prosper if I obeyed and perish if I resisted? Now you can guess what I want to do?"

Warm breaths brushed against their faces. Mito Uzumaki's clear, bright eyes showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance. She wanted to make a move, but she was worried that the other party would use the pretext of self-defense to subdue her.

What would happen next? The mature woman dared not even think about it. If a situation arose where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shared the same husband, Mori no Senju would lose all face!

After her soul returns to the Pure Land, what right does she have to meet Hashirama Senju and all her ancestors?

"I still have a lot of matters to attend to at the Military Intelligence Department, so I'm heading back to Konoha!"

Mito Uzumaki, deciding to avoid the trouble altogether, turned and left under the watchful gaze of Takeo Uchiha, her swift figure already exceeding the speed of sound.

"Lady Mito, though the world is vast, it is all within the domain of [Amaterasu no Ritsu-no-Mikoto]."

"Where can you run to?"

Having worked hard for years, Uchiha Takeoshi was not about to let Uzumaki Mito leave his grasp.

This tangled and complicated relationship will eventually be sorted out by the magic of time.

Uchiha Wu'an let out a soft groan and used flight magic to fly towards the Free City.

Soon, news of the horrific state of the shrine on the grounds of the Great Tomb reached Uchiha Takeoshi's desk.

All the adventurers and combat ninjas in the vicinity were turned into human stakes and stuck outside the Great Tomb.

They even used magic to preserve the expressions of despair and pain they had when they were alive.

This cruel method terrified the ninjas, but it also united them in their hatred of the enemy.

With the leader of the ninja world in charge, they do not believe that any force on this continent can stop the ninja world's progress!

A circular, dark magical shield also enveloped the Great Tomb. Neither human eyes nor the celestial eye on the moon could penetrate the shield to see what was inside.

Konoha, Military Intelligence Department.

"As everyone knows, our opponents are a group of powerful, inhuman beings."

The walls inside the room were covered by a screen that occupied the entire wall, which was divided into more than a dozen images.

Three of the sides depict the three demon generals, who are in the Academy of Sciences, their powers sealed, their bodies bound, but their consciousness clear.

Even through the screen, everyone present felt a sense of panic, as if their very existence was being oppressed.

"These three are all at the level of the Eight-Tails. Their demon captain, Demiurge, could even be considered a weaker version of Madara Uchiha!"

Uchiha Yomo stood at the front of the stage, his words carrying a sense of caution, "Demiurge has been eliminated by His Majesty, but we must not let our guard down. The enemy's headquarters still has many superhuman powerhouses whose strength surpasses that of Demiurge."

The crowd listened attentively to Uchiha Yomo's account with solemn expressions.

"In the prophecy of the shrine maiden Momiji, they possessed a self-destruct magic capable of attacking the Six Paths. Our leader was dragged down with the enemy and perished in this way."

"Fortunately, this tactic is only in the hands of the opposing leader, and because of its rarity, they only have one chance to use it!"

Uchiha Yoshikazu pointed at the two images on the screen: one was a large tomb that was not covered by a magical shield, and the other was a large tomb with bloody human stakes stuck in its entrance, his eyes filled with anger.

"Gentlemen, the enemy has already set up their defenses; how can we let this go unchecked!"

Uchiha Yomotsu's face gradually regained its plump appearance, and the brilliance of his former glory reappeared.

Fire Release, Lava Release, and Sharingan—these three bloodlines are standard equipment for high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan, giving them the starting point of Kage-level strength!

"Currently, the Magic Continent has three major ninja armies: the Central Ninja Army, the Southeast Ninja Army, and the Northwest Ninja Army. To further suppress the forces belonging to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the Royal Court Ninja Army will be formed, personally led by His Majesty, and stationed on the Kaz Plains to annihilate the Great Tomb of Nazarick!"

The deep, stirring words resonated with the crowd. Just as it had been said before, no matter how powerful the Great Tomb was, the ultimate way to defeat the Supreme Leader was through mutual destruction.

Now that we have this intelligence, how could His Majesty repeat the same mistake?

The ultimate victor will undoubtedly be the ninja world, and undoubtedly, the Leaf Village!

Therefore, the Royal Court Ninja Army, directly under Uchiha Muan, was highly coveted. Joining it would guarantee a status that was half a level higher than that of ordinary combat ninjas of the same rank.

Power and fame are always objects of human pursuit.

Who in the world is an exception?

The organization of the Royal Court Ninja Army is being implemented rapidly, and new changes have occurred in the area of ​​the Northwest Ninja Army.
