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

Chapter 221 The Guest

As Uchiha Takeo harbored his ambitions, the Ninja World also welcomed guests from the Magic Continent.

Gilkenif, the Blood Emperor, who belonged to the Bahars Empire, was accompanied by the Imperial Mage Fluda, the Ghost Gunner Rena, and several attendants.

Through a continental teleportation array, escorted by a small squad of the Royal Court Ninja Army, they arrived at Konoha, the rapidly changing capital of the ninja world.

They witnessed a thriving and prosperous scene.

With a population exceeding one million, Konoha City shines like a bright pearl on the map of the ninja world.

Under the planning of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the outer Fifth Ring Road is well-organized, with wide streets bustling with people.

Skyscrapers stand side by side, but they are not the same kind of buildings. Various styles are designed by master architects. Perhaps around a corner, one can have a refreshing and surprising feeling.

Shops line both sides of the street, offering a dazzling array of goods, while vendors' calls rise and fall, creating a vibrant symphony.

The inner three rings are the heart of Konoha, where the ancient and the modern blend perfectly.

The antique architecture and modern high-rise buildings complement each other, creating a unique landscape.

The skyline is fragmented by skyscrapers, while the old wooden buildings gleam in the bright lights.

The streets and alleys were teeming with pedestrians, bustling about like flowing rivers converging into a lively ocean.

Escorted by a squad of royal ninja soldiers, they moved slowly forward, passing through the bustling crowd, and heading towards the core area of ​​Konoha.

This is the political, economic, and cultural center of Konoha, concentrating the most important resources and talents in the entire ninja world.

The newly expanded presidential building, with its round exterior and square interior, stands in the center, symbolizing the supreme power and glory of the ninja world.

Surrounded by the residences of the Uchiha and Senju clans and Konoha institutions, the bustling streets are filled with ninjas coming and going, busy yet orderly.

"Captain Hatake, your country truly boasts a wealth of strong individuals and countless heroes!"

Along the way, Fluda, who possesses the innate ability to see through the ranks of his enemies, is already deeply shocked.

In the Magic Continent, who could imagine that a six or seven-year-old child would possess power comparable to a lower-ranking adventurer?

This is not an isolated case. It was after school, and groups of children scattered in all directions, some climbing over walls and others running around.

Amidst the continuous laughter and the teacher's angry shouts, Furuta glimpsed only the tip of the iceberg of the ninja world's true depths.

This one scene alone completely extinguished Fluda's confidence to continue resisting.

In Fluder's view, the strongest ninjas in the ninja world are indeed terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is their education system. As long as the education system of the ninja world does not collapse, the backbone supporting the ninja world's rampant ninjas will become more and more numerous and stronger!

Not to mention the ninja clan members you see when you enter the Third Ring area, the true core of Konoha. These heroes who were once praised on the Magic Continent are not even as good as a dog beside Hatake Sakumo!

Too much!

"Venerable Furuta, you flatter us. We still have a long way to go."

Sakumo Hatake said calmly.

He once thought that Konoha was invincible and that he was incredibly strong, but after the battle with the Great Tomb of Naruto, he realized that even Morning Star was just cannon fodder, and Radiant Moon was merely a spectator. Only the Blazing Sun could truly shake him.

Jonin and elite Jonin, equivalent to those in the Hero Realm?

Just like the fearless skeleton soldiers, they are dispensable.

Looking at Hatake Sakumo, who exuded the aura of a seasoned hero and was about to become an elite Jonin, Fluder estimated that the other party was not yet twenty years old, and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

At Hatake Sakumo's age, I was probably still struggling to reach the level of a hero. I couldn't help but sigh and say, "Captain Hatake is so young, yet he's already close to surpassing the level of a hero. I'm truly ashamed of myself."

"Heroic Realm? Lord Fluder, you mean Morning Star, right?"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the imperial forces, the decisive yet gentle Sakumo Hatake patiently explained, "Our leader defines the strength above Jonin as Morning Star, Shining Moon, and Blazing Sun."

"Does the sun, moon, and stars intend for the people of the ninja world to reside high in the heavens, looking down upon the entire world?"

Gilkenif, who had been observing silently, thought to himself with admiration, "What a bold move!"

"However, the ninja world truly has such resources."

Unlike Furuta's perspective, Gilknefer, the "Blood Emperor" who was the ruler of a fallen kingdom but possessed outstanding governing abilities, saw Konoha's economic prosperity and the people's vigorous progress.

Such a force, barring an insurmountable disaster or top-down corruption, is bound to grow stronger.

Moreover, compared to Furuta, who lived for over two hundred years, it would be easy for the leader of the ninja world to live for a thousand years.

His desire to revitalize the empire and make it rise again has undoubtedly become a pipe dream.

"As for my strength?"

Sakumo Hatake let out a soft breath. "It's just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning at all."

Just as Sakumo Hatake finished speaking, and before Abruta could say anything more, a melodious bell rang, announcing that Konoha was entering the noisy end-of-get off work period.

Gilkenif and his entourage stopped and looked up in the direction from which the bells were coming.

A newly built clock tower stood not far away, its long chimes seemingly telling the story of Konoha's glory.

Below the clock tower is a wide plaza, in the center of which stands a huge statue depicting the heroic figures of the Hokage throughout history, symbolizing the spirit and legacy of Konoha.

The former Hokage Cliff has been erased by the Construction Bureau and replaced with a magnificent Susanoo statue.

Even the Senju of the Forest had to admit that Uchiha Takeo's achievements were now beyond what Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju could compare to.

Placing their shadow rocks at the highest point of Konoha, overlooking the village, would be utterly humiliating.

On the brightly lit streets,

Another group of people, dressed in attire completely different from that of the ninja world, came along.

Gilkenif's eyes lit up, and with a smile, he walked up to the ninja who was escorting him, who was watching him with indifferent eyes.

"I presume you are the priests of the Holy Kingdom. I am Gilkenif."

Compared to the Blood Emperor, who values ​​the priests in power, Fluda is looking at the leading boy and girl. The boy is the captain of the god-man remnants of the Dark Scripture.

Like the bright moon shining in the dark night, the girl beside him radiated a brilliance like the sun, allowing Fluder to understand from another perspective the significance of the ninja world leader's division of the world into sun, moon, and star ranks.

"As expected of the strongest human nation in the past, it's a pity that we encountered an enemy we shouldn't have met."

Fluder thought to himself without changing his expression, and followed behind Gilkenif.
