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

Chapter 229 Fusion

The principle of prioritizing strength has always been one of the guiding principles of Uchiha Takeo.

In a world of extraordinary power, the strongest who suppresses everything is the grand path, the most unsolvable open strategy!

Uchiha Muan agreed without hesitation, "The Vice Governor of the Heavenly Province will be Mizunazuki Haku."

Then, he looked at Nara Shikamei and Lana, "If you still have any ideas, go to Governor Minazuki and apply to the Konoha Secretariat."

"Yes, sir!"

After answering, the two sat back down. Lana's delicate and beautiful face still held a faint smile, as if she felt no disappointment or sorrow at being rejected.

Gilkenif glanced at Fluda and [Ghost Spear] Rena, whom he had brought with him. Both of them were at the Morning Star level, which was quite formidable in the past, but in the ninja world where there were many talented people in the upper and middle ranks, they were not good enough.

"Stay calm. Even if we can't win the governorship, we must still capture several important cities in the empire!"

Gilkenif pondered his options, and then, during the discussions, appointed governors or deputy governors for the major provinces.

The Province of Fire – governed by Vice Governor Uchiha;

The position of Konoha Police Chief will be resigned and will be taken over by the newly promoted Uchiha, Morning Star.

The Province of Water – the former fourth Mizukage Genshi took up the position of Vice Governor;

The Province of Tsuchi – the position of Vice Governor was assumed by the fifth generation Tsuchi Kage Kan;

The Province of Wind – Chiyo, the former leader of Sunagakure, takes up the position of Vice Governor;

The Province of Lightning—the land where the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village were destroyed, a region that is both chaotic and orderly, is now officially governed by Uchiha Hikaru, the principal of the high school.

The Province of Rain – The former First Generation Amekage, Sanshoku Hanzo, took office as the Vice Governor.

After the six major provinces of the ninja world were agreed upon, the Magic Continent was also created.

The Province of Heaven – with Mizuki Shiro, the leader of the Frost Dragon Knights, assuming the position of Vice Governor;

The Province of the Land – Due to its geographical location bordering the Central Continent, it is governed by Mito Uzumaki, who also serves as its governor, and is guarded by Ryuchi Cave, a sacred site for summoning spirit beasts.

The Province of Mystery – Antilin, an awakened member of the bloodline of the divine being from the [Dark Codex], assumes the position of governor.

The Yellow Province – Yagura, also known as Kojiki, was appointed as the Vice Governor.

All the regional governors of the Ninja Empire have been appointed, and the future development will be closely related to the governors of each province. The talents and cadres that Konoha has cultivated over the years are ready to be put to practical use.

Time passed slowly, and the meeting came to an end.

Uchiha Muan's main body stayed by his wife's side, while his clone went into the underground space of the Academy of Sciences and, under the arrangement of [Root], lay in a petri dish.

Orochimaru and Hiruko were watching the experiment with wide eyes.

Under the manipulation of [Root], the dragon blood, refined and condensed from the Dragon Emperor's claws, appeared golden in color. It flowed through a series of conduits and finally through a needle, revealing the body of Uchiha Takeoshi.

The intense bloodline rejection reaction instantly caused the connected monitors to flash a dangerous red light, prompting Hiruko to say with some concern.

"Lord Gen, the Golden Dragon Blood has not been tested yet. To integrate it into Teacher Wu'an's body like this, even if it's just to create a clone, is far too risky."

"Don't speak, Hiruko!"

Orochimaru restrained Hiruko, who was about to make a move. His golden snake eyes, though sinister, revealed a resolute determination. "Master Wu'an and Lord Root are not reckless people. They must have their reasons for doing this!"

"Kid, just watch carefully."

[Root] glanced at Hiruko and said calmly, "Whether we succeed or fail, we who possess resurrection magic are invincible."

"And the man lying in the lab is the world's strongest man!"

"Nothing is a miracle for His Majesty; it is simply a matter of course."

"That seems to make sense..."

Hiruko stared at Uchiha Muan, whose flesh had torn apart and whose bones were partially exposed. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he fell silent under Orochimaru's confident gaze, looking at the laboratory with considerable tension.

My mind involuntarily drifted to the great achievement of merging my bloodlines, and I knew I would inevitably face examples of bloodline conflicts.

With the addition of the newly discovered dragon blood, countless inspirations burst forth in his mind, lacking only sufficient theoretical basis.

"Perhaps conducting experiments while simultaneously summarizing and recording the findings is also a good approach."

"Even Master Wu'an personally participated, and he has resurrection magic, so why can't I?"

"My own body is nowhere near as precious as Master Wu'an's!"

"Moreover, using myself as a test subject will definitely allow me to understand the various situations that occur during bloodline fusion more clearly!"

Unbeknownst to Uchiha Takeo, who had left a profound shock on Hiruko's mind, his spirit transcended his physical body, observing the surging and raging magical energy within his body from the perspective of his soul.

The essence of the golden dragon blood has almost transcended the constraints of flesh and blood, becoming a high-level form of magic.

The current fusion can be seen as higher-level magic absorbing lower-level magic!

Lower-level magic instinctively resists and erodes higher-level magic.

In the clash between the two, the most obvious manifestation is that the clone's body is overwhelmed, and the low-level magic is constantly being defeated by the high-level magic, making it unable to protect the flesh and blood it possesses.

"Just one opportunity is needed!"

Uchiha Muan calmly looked at the petri dish that had turned into blood, his eyes gleaming with the light of the Eternal Eye. He stared at the two intertwined energies within his body and waited silently.

"The life force is about to stagnate."

Orochimaru stared at the life fluctuation line on the screen, his heart pounding with anxiety. He nervously grabbed Hiruko's hand, causing Hiruko to secretly roll her eyes.

"Teacher Wu'an, you absolutely won't fail!"

Thinking of Uchiha Muan's great power before, Orochimaru felt more confident. However, he was not sure if the clone could do it now.

"You two, stop arguing and watch carefully!"

[Root] suddenly said, just like when he fused with the Frost Dragon bloodline before, at the critical moment, the insignificant bloodline fusion value appeared and then rapidly increased!

The blood in the petri dish seemed to be boiling, with bubbles constantly rising and bubbling. Under the surprised and delighted gazes of Orochimaru and Hiruko, Uchiha Muan's body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Without the slightest warning or foreshadowing, it was as if the fusion had begun and success was inevitable—it was so obvious that it nearly blew Root's mind out of control!

"That's utter nonsense!"

This is completely unscientific!

But it's very mysterious!

Looking at the overjoyed Orochimaru and Hiruko, one can easily imagine whether their worldview will be completely shattered when they look back on what happened today.
