Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 207 The Great Horror of Cloud Hidden Village! The Lightning Gathering and Refining Method!

Tsunade had been away from the village for some time, and she was also feeling depressed.

The two of them naturally bought some drinks and had a simple get-together.

"Tsunade has grown up and learned to compromise."

Slightly tipsy, Tsunade's face was flushed. She slapped away Yuuki's hand, which was hiding the bottle, and said in annoyance, "Hey, kid, don't act like an old man!"

"What's the point of not compromising? Are we really going to turn the whole village upside down? In this ninja world, death is the norm."

"Go with Orochimaru."

Tsunade drank a glass of wine, feeling utterly disheartened.

Yushu picked up a handful of peanuts and ate them one by one, remarking with emotion, "Everyone has indeed become accustomed to death. As the scale of the war escalates step by step, the villagers are not panicked at all."

Tsunade chuckled twice: "Panic? They probably don't even understand the situation in the ninja world."

"They might even think the village has the upper hand!"

Most Konoha villagers, and even some ninjas, held an optimistic view of the war's outcome.

The only ninja village to declare war on another village was Sunagakure.

As everyone knows, among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure is the weakest.

The great three generations of leaders, personally resisting foreign invasion, must have found it easy and enjoyable.

There is hatred between Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Amegakure, which will hinder their alliance and thus pose little threat to Konoha.

Kirigakure is just a small, isolated village overseas; there's nothing to worry about.

The war will end soon.

However, in the eyes of those at higher levels, the reality was not like that at all.

Many villagers and ninjas still believe that hatred is the dominant factor that leads to war.

In fact, self-interest is the biggest factor influencing war.

The infighting between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is nothing more than a matter of profit.

If Konoha shows signs of fatigue during their battle, it will surely be attacked by both of them!

Moreover, entrusting the course of the war to the plans of other villages is tantamount to handing the noose that would hang oneself to the enemy!

Yuuki looked at him with disappointment: "Yes, Konoha has declined, and there are too many weaklings now."

Tsunade nodded in deep agreement.

Weakness is a relative concept.

Konoha has fallen into a state of decline.

If other ninjas heard these two's arguments, they would only scoff at them.

The village's ninja force is larger than ever before, the Jonin are stronger than ever before, and there are even Kage-level ninjas in the village.

Is this considered weakened?

Tsunade drank another cup of wine, her face flushed with drunkenness: "In the end, it was that old man who caused all this trouble!"

"Internally, we cannot unite all of Konoha's forces; externally, we cannot quickly defeat the village's enemies."

"We've been on the battlefield for over ten days, and not a single report of victory has come."

Tsunade turned to Orochimaru and asked, "Let's not talk about those unlucky things. Tell me about yourself. Why did you insist on building a useless memorial hall for past department heads when you made a request to Orochimaru?"

During the recent negotiations with Orochimaru, Yuuki made several small demands.

Permits for activities such as building memorial halls or producing police department coupons.

Yuuki explained, "This is what we must do to truly strengthen the Uchiha clan."

"Huh?" Tsunade teased casually, "Do you need to do such boring things to strengthen your clan? Why don't you marry more wives and have more children?"

Yushu coughed twice. What kind of indecent words are these!

You've gone off track, Tsunade!

Yuuki explained, "That's not how it works."

A strong and powerful family must have memorable characteristics within the village and among the villagers.

For example, the clan emblem of the Whirlpools, and the statue of the Fire Shadow Rock.

The Uchiha clan has never had such a memorable moment in the village.

This is the root of the rejection of the Uchiha clan.

The village's Hokage Rock, symbols, uniforms... there's almost no display of the Uchiha clan.

The only position left for the Uchiha was a nominal one—the police department.

The police department has considerable nominal power, but it has an overlapping department called the Anbu, which reports directly to the highest leader, the Hokage.

Under normal circumstances, the police department cannot project a positive presence.

This is a systematic process of memory exclusion, which is more destructive than coups, ostracism, and assassinations.

Under the subtle influence of others.

The Uchiha clan's status as elders has been forgotten.

The merits of establishing the village have been diminished.

The villagers couldn't understand why the Uchiha were shouting that it was unfair.

The victims had no way to defend themselves and could only remain silent in the face of a coup.

In fact, the Senju family faced a similar predicament when the third generation took power.

Hiruzen Sarutobi attempted to further erase any trace of the Senju clan's existence.

but--

The predicament that Senju is facing will soon disappear.

According to the original plan, after the Second Shinobi World War and the Wood Release experiment, most of the Senju clan members who were publicly known to have died.

If the person is gone, what predicament is there left?

“That makes sense, the old man really is…” Tsunade didn’t know what to say.

Are these actions beneficial to the village?

Of course there are.

By eliminating the influence of the ninja clans, the village will inevitably become more stable, and the Hokage's ability to unify power will greatly increase.

It is highly beneficial for both domestic development and external warfare.

But from the ninja clan's perspective, that's just pure thuggery.

Yuuki shook his head: "Ultimately, it's because the Third Generation Master's abilities are insufficient."

"Unlike the Third Raikage of Kumogakure."

"Raikage?" Tsunade asked curiously, "What happened to the Third Raikage? Didn't you cut off one of his arms?"

Yuuki smiled helplessly: "It's just propaganda from Kumogakure to divert people's attention."

"Abandon your attention to the new secret technique of the Cloud Ninja."

At this point, his expression turned serious, and he sighed, "The Third Raikage has found a path that transcends the Kage level, and it is very likely the right direction for chakra development!"

"what?!"

The flush on Tsunade's face faded instantly.

She was surprised, her expression complex.

Beyond the level of a film?

Perhaps only her great-grandfather and that legendary Uchiha possessed power sufficient to be considered beyond Kage level?

Even my second grandfather, Tobirama Senju, did not surpass the Kage level!

Could it be that a new god of the ninja world has been born in the ninja world?

"Are you serious?"

“I’ve been very serious. I haven’t been back to the village these past few days. I’ve been at the battlefield, deducing the Third Raikage’s Lightning Release Armor.” Yuuki handed Tsunade a scroll: “Furthermore, I’ve deduced a simple new chakra refining method, the Lightning Gathering Refining Method!”

Tsunade opened the scroll.

Hiss, the lightning extraction method.

Refining chakra, transforming it into lightning chakra within the body, and then, against the flow of energy, gradually emerging from the body like a pupa!

It hurts to look at it!

Outside the body, it condenses into a materialized form of Lightning Release chakra.

Gradually increase the strength, quality, and sensitivity of chakra.

Until it can be freely manipulated, transforming into armor, swords, or even Raizo.

What Reizo is, we'll leave that aside for now.

Did I misread it, or did you write it wrong?

Tsunade pointed at the scroll, incredulous: "You wrote in ninja script?"

"Transformed within the body, the most violent Lightning Release chakra?"

"I wouldn't dare say the Third Raikage is absolutely certain he can do it, would I?"

Yuuki shrugged: "What else? Surpassing Kage level, it's not like buying cabbage on the street."

"In the entire ninja world, I estimate that only the First Hokage and Madara have ever reached that level!"

Tsunade's eye twitched—that makes sense!

However, if a powerful ninja surpassing the Kage level were to emerge from the Hidden Cloud Village, the ninja world would once again face a bloody storm.

Not all ninjas are like my great-grandfather, who restrained his power.
