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

Chapter 224 Participation

The next morning, a girl as radiant as gold walked into the hotel.

Her features were exquisite, her youthful elegance radiant, and her flawless skin glowed with a lustrous sheen under the morning sun. Her clear eyes were like a vast, clear blue sky, serene and pure.

The graceful Princess Lana, dressed in a white dress, walked in and smiled slightly as she met the gazes of Gilkenif and the High Priest. "Gentlemen, please follow me to the Headquarters Building."

The northwest corner of the Magic Continent is the main habitat of humankind, where the Kingdom of [Ri-Estize], the Empire of [Bahars], and the Theocracy of [Six Great Gods] Slane were established.

The Council of Nations, established by a foreign race and subsequently destroyed by Kirigakure, is not qualified to enter the Headquarters Building.

Like the lizardmen left behind in the Great Forest of Tob and the dwarves in the Angelicia Mountains, all that remained for them was unconditional submission.

Uchiha Muan had no interest in establishing any multi-racial united nation.

As the saying goes, humans are the most intelligent of all beings and should be ranked above all others!

As for other races, if they disobey, just kill them to protect their species and maintain biodiversity; the rest are not important at all.

Lana, who came from the Magic Continent to the Ninja World Continent, represents the kingdom.

Representatives from the three countries walked along the bluestone avenue leading to the presidential building. The venerable high priest glanced repeatedly at Lana, who was walking at the very front.

Gilkenif, deep and composed, wore an expression of unspoken unease.

As the first nation to be conquered and subjugated by the ninja world, Gilknefer, knowing Lana well, absolutely refused to believe that she did not have information about this meeting.

"But losing to a man is one thing, but losing to a woman is another?"

Unable to swallow his pride, Gilkenif walked silently to the side.

The high priest didn't know much about Lana and was worried about overdoing it, so he didn't ask.

Having covered a third of the distance, the number of ninjas in the vicinity had increased. Unlike the bustling outer Fifth Ring Road, the inner Third Ring Road was filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Rows of highly ornamental green plants line both sides of the road, and the gentle breeze and swaying shadows bring a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.

A bus powered by chakra slowly pulled up, carrying waves of people to and from Konoha. The soft sunlight streamed in, and several elementary school students yawned at the windows, seemingly indifferent to their arrival.

After all, with so much homework both inside and outside of class, there's no time to care about other things.

The well-informed Jonin by the roadside watched the guests who had traveled from afar with calm eyes.

Only the ninja clan leaders mostly looked at them with covetous and longing eyes, like food on a plate, hoping to get their share.

"Lady Lana."

As they passed by the territory of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, Nara Shikano happened to come out and greeted the blonde girl in front of him. They then walked side by side, followed by the clan leaders of the other two clans.

"Chief Luming, is this alright?"

As the Ino-Shika-Cho trio approached, the nearby ninjas immediately showed surprised looks. Lana, who knew what they were thinking without even looking, smiled and said.

"Of course it's good."

Having been severely injured by Uchiha Madara four years ago, Nara Shikame looks even older than Hyuga Ashizaru. Having been old and experienced, and having worked with Lana in the kingdom's capital for some time, he is quite aware of the methods of the girl beside him.

Lana deserves much credit for the kingdom's ability to rapidly contribute to the ninja world.

Nara Shikamei only discovered the brilliance of the other party's policies in retrospect.

He felt inferior in matters of governing the country.

Given the ninja world leader's meritocratic nature, Nara Shikanaru had no doubt that Lana, with her abilities, would rise to the center of power in the ninja world.

As for any hidden agendas, Nara Shikamei wasn't worried at all.

No matter how astonishing the wisdom, it is all castles in the air and vulnerable under absolute force.

and……

Nara Shikame glanced almost imperceptibly at Lana's pure and clean face, guessing that he would have to give away quite a few of the health teas at home again.

"Others may not know, but I know very well that Lady Lana is no outsider."

"They're not outsiders."

Lana remained noncommittal, maintaining her dignified manners as she smiled and said, "Then I look forward to receiving your guidance from Chief Luming in the future."

"I am old now, and I should be saying this to Lady Lana. I hope that Lady Lana will give me some guidance to the unworthy younger generation in the clan."

Nara Shikamei didn't try to keep his voice down, so Gilkenif and the High Priest naturally heard their conversation, which made them feel uneasy.

If the kingdom's interests are not significantly damaged, the unsatisfied ninja forces will surely plunder even more from both countries!

The high priest glanced silently at Antilin, who was engrossed in playing with a Rubik's Cube and seemed oblivious to everything around her. The thought that arose in his mind made him feel a little ashamed.

Gilkenif glanced at Lana's flowing golden hair, then shifted his gaze to a spot not far away where Hanzo of the Salamander Village, accompanied by Amegakure, was casting a calm look at them.

Han from Iwagakure, Genji from Kirigakure, Chiyo from Sunagakure, and Morning Star from the Uchiha and Senju clans—a diverse group of people gathered at the presidential building, exchanged glances, and entered the Ninja World Conference Room.

"I really didn't want to come."

Uchiha Hikaru, who had walked downstairs, put his hands on his hips and looked at the group of people walking upstairs with a listless expression.

Attending these meetings was like listening to monks chanting sutras, making her drowsy.

Instead of wasting time, you might as well stay home and read more heartwarming light novels.

Sarutobi Sasuke, whom you happen to meet on the way, advised you, "Lord Hikaru, this is a meeting that will decide the future of the ninja world. Even if you don't express your opinion, it's still necessary to listen."

"Then let's use shadow clones."

Before Sarutobi Sasuke could speak, Uchiha Hikaru created a clone while his main body ran upstairs to find Uchiha Takeo.

She was well aware of her brother's true character and did not believe that Uchiha Wu'an at the meeting was the real person.

"Let's go, Chief Sasuke."

"Yes, Lord Guang."

Sarutobi Sasuke followed behind the girl with a calm expression.

Even the Uchiha clan wouldn't dare to use shadow clones to participate in the Supreme Council; the only ones who could do it were the wives of the leaders.

"Morning star, radiant moon, why hasn't the blazing sun appeared yet?"

Inside the meeting room, Fluda, who was seated at the back of the Imperial side, was observing his surroundings.

At the very front were the various Konoha ninja clans, including the newly formed Mizuki.

In the middle are the three great hidden villages, and behind them is the Sand Village. Looking at the whole scene, there are indeed many strong ninjas in the ninja world, but there is not a single one who surpasses the black-and-white-haired girl from the Theocracy.
