Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 117 Blood Seed (7K)

Konoha, the forest behind the rock of successive Hokage.

Most of the originally lush forests have been leveled by ninjutsu, giving way to a complex of modern technological buildings nestled in the embrace of nature.

The buildings feature large expanses of glass and metal exteriors covered with a special film that absorbs natural light from the surrounding environment.

The entire academy of sciences seems to be integrated with the sky and nature, showing a harmonious beauty.

A soft mist spread among the cliffs, gently surrounding the buildings of the Academy of Sciences like a layer of gauze.

In the morning light, the glass wall reflects a faint blue light, like a gem shining in the morning light.

Occasionally a few birds fly across the sky, and their long chirping sounds echo in the quiet air.

Uchiha Wuan, who arranged a shadow clone to come here to inspect the research progress, walked into the building together with an Uchiha in charge of the Science Academy who had advanced to the Kage level through Fire Release.

Konoha Academy is divided into two large areas, the surface and underground, each with different functions and tasks.

The buildings on the surface are mainly used for daily education and training. Those who graduate from the elementary ninja school and do not plan to develop in the combat field or do not have combat talent, but want to continue to study, will choose to come here to study.

The tuition fee is not high. As long as the Genin who graduates from the elementary department is diligent, they can work and study under the welfare policy of the academy.

The layout and content of the surface area are similar to those of the universities in the previous life. The graduation system is based on the credit system. During the three-year study, life ninjas need to pass two rigorous assessments covering knowledge, skills and practical operations every year.

If a student fails three out of six times, he or she will be expelled from school, or choose to pay a high tuition fee that even a senior ninja would find painful, and continue studying in the academy for a few more years to obtain enough credits to graduate.

Those with outstanding talents can also graduate early. If they are recognized by their mentors or other faculty members and pass the corresponding assessments and recommendations, they will be qualified to enter the underground space.

A real academy of sciences composed of a variety of cutting-edge instruments and a hollowed-out interior of the Hokage Cliff that has a more sci-fi and futuristic feel than the surface. It gathers outstanding scientific researchers from Konoha and even the entire ninja world!
The Academy of Sciences was developed by Uchiha Takean and Uzumaki Minako, and it has the spatial characteristics of [Tenjo Rizun] and is protected by a large-scale barrier that can act as a space barrier.

Except for the specific techniques set up by Uchiha Wuan, which is the backdoor code, if you want to travel through the academy, you can only use your legs.

The underground structure of the Academy of Sciences is complex. The hard rock of the mountain has been precisely cut and excavated to form a modern research facility embedded in the mountain, consisting of multiple levels and divisions.

"My Lord, please follow me."

After unlocking the elevator through dual verification of chakra and fingerprint, Uchiha Wuan and Uchiha Muneki stepped into the elevator and slowly descended to the underground level below where the power of the tailed beasts was studied.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Uchiha Muneki, who was young, strong, and smart, and wearing the family's standard black gown, was the first to walk out of the elevator and led Wu An through the metal passage.

The corridors and passages extend along the texture of the mountain. The chakra lighting system installed on the walls continuously provides a soft and stable light source. The ground is maintained flat and clean by puppets controlled by apprentices, and there are signboards hanging on the walls.

The researchers and apprentices in white coats in the passage saw the two people coming, and their eyes quickly swept over Uchiha Muneki - in their opinion, although this dean was smart, he was essentially a fighting ninja who liked to fight and kill.

The reason he became the dean was, on the one hand, his great strength, and on the other hand, the round fan family emblem behind him.

Then, when their eyes fell on Uchiha Wuan, who strongly supported the development of chakra technology and brought benefits to millions of people in the ninja world, respect arose spontaneously and they bowed respectfully to this great leader.

This made Uchiha Wuan quite proud.

Uchiha Muneki was too lazy to care about the attitudes of these stubborn people.

For him, as long as he could complete the scientific research task and report the results with his head held high during the meeting of Konoha's top leaders, the rest was not important.

Soon, the two walked into a room with a sign that read "Four-tail Laboratory". The room was extremely spacious and divided into two sections.

The entrance section is filled with sophisticated instruments, where many researchers are busy. The other end of the room is separated by thick glass.

Uchiha Wuan took a look at the environment - the ceiling above his head was lined with chakra energy cables as thick as an adult man's fist.

One end of the cable was neatly and densely connected through the ceiling, along the mountain, continuously transmitting chakra energy to all parts of Konoha.

The other end passes through the ceiling, across the middle partition glass, and is inserted into the base of a huge glass vessel.

"You guys go and do your own things. Dean Zong Shu will be with me."

Uchiha Wuan waved his hand to let the researchers who came to greet him return to their work, and then he walked towards the partition glass.

Through the glass, one could see a huge space of one hundred meters in length and width, with a glass container filled with liquid in the center. In the container was sleeping a red monkey-tailed beast with four tails, about forty to fifty meters long.

In the northeastern compartment of the base of the vessel, two three-magatama Uchiha were practicing ninjutsu, while several researchers were observing and recording data.

"Master, the application of the Four-Tails has already gone beyond the shallow energy transmission work. Through the essence of its power, we have developed a set of Lava Release Bloodline Limit that can be spread on a large scale."

In Uchiha Muneki's narration, the Uchiha ninja on the left below released the power of Flame Release formed by the fusion of Fire Release Chakra and Yin Release Chakra.

The Uchiha ninja on the right spit out the molten power formed by Fire Style Chakra and Earth Style Chakra from his mouth.

The two ninjas' powers collided in the air, and the intersection of Flame Release and Lava Release instantly burst into a dazzling light. The bone-burning flames and the hot and heavy magma intertwined fiercely in the air, splashing countless burning flints.

Uchiha Wuan asked, "How powerful is it?"

"It's comparable to the Fire Style, and stronger than the basic Five Styles Ninjutsu."

Uchiha Muneki took out a fiery red bullet that looked similar to a Bingliang pill from his arms and handed it to Uchiha Takean, while explaining.

"My Lord, this is the [Laojutsu Blood Seed] formed by the conversion of the Four-Tails' chakra. As long as a jonin who has mastered the nature changes of Fire and Earth Chakra takes it, he can be guided by the seed and form a Laojutsu Bloodline Limit."

At this point, Uchiha Muneki's voice was filled with a hint of emotion and confusion - the bloodline limit that was once extremely rare can now be mass-produced, which has greatly shaken the heart of this Uchiha strongman who believes that bloodline is supreme.

If Lava Release can be produced in bulk, then will the Sharingan, which we are so proud of, be able to do the same one day?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Souji suddenly shuddered.

"Dean Zong Shu, what are you worried about?"

Uchiha Wuan opened his Eternal Eyes, and the complex and mysterious kaleidoscope made Uchiha Souji feel a little relieved. He glanced at the researchers around him and showed a difficult look on his face.

Uchiha Wuan could tell what he was worried about at a glance, and said in a calm tone

"Dean Souju, you don't have to worry about unnecessary things in the future. The ninja world is undergoing changes, and we ninjas are constantly getting stronger."

Uchiha Wuan looked at the perfectly sealed [Lao Shi: Blood Seed] in his hand and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Today, Lava Release could be spread out, and tomorrow, Ice Release could be spread out. In the future, the bloodline limit of these two jutsu fusions will be a slightly more powerful special attribute ninjutsu in the ninja world."

"They are no longer the foundation of a few ninja clans, but the powerful cornerstone of the entire ninja world!"

He spoke in an excited tone as he felt the blood seed melting in his abdomen and emitting strands of molten escape power.

"Even if the Sharingan of my race appears on a foreigner in the future, I will not be surprised or afraid."

Amid the admiring gazes of many researchers, Uchiha Wuan's Eternal Eye revealed a deep light.

"I am only afraid that with so many resources, I will not think about how to make myself stronger, but instead suppress those who are less advanced, and start putting the cart before the horse!"

In an instant, the [Melting Release: Blood Seed] in his body was refined by magic power. Uchiha Wuan felt that the source of his power was like a vine, which had grown an inch deeper into the soil, and the power of his magic power became even stronger.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Uchiha Souji, but the smile on his lips was as warm as a spring breeze.

"Dean Souju, you already have the power of Fire Release and Melt Release in your body, plus the Sharingan, what do you have to worry about or be afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of the rising star in the clan, or someone else taking your place, or the Uchiha clan's position in Konoha, or even my position?"

"We are always walking in the front, don't stop and look back!"

Uchiha Wuan's words echoed in the room like morning bells and evening drums. His voice was soft, but it carried unquestionable power.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing, and the laboratory fell into silence, with only the sound of the instruments operating.

In this solemn atmosphere, Uchiha Souji's voice was firm and clear.

"No one can surpass the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the strongest ninja in the past, present, and future of the ninja world!"

Uchiha Souji suddenly bent down, then slowly raised his head, and his three-magatama Sharingan burst out with fiery determination and belief.

"I have fully understood the will of the Leader." Uchiha Souji's voice was low and powerful.

"From now on, I will devote all my energy to studying the fusion technique of Flame Release and Lava Release, making myself and the Uchiha clan even more powerful!"

"very good!"

"Flame Release is a power that we Uchiha developed ourselves. We can naturally choose to pass it on or not. This is our advantage."

Uchiha Wuan showed a gratified smile on his face, and gently patted Uchiha Muneki's shoulder, saying in a melodious and cheerful tone, "Uchiha has many advantages, there is nothing to worry about!"

"However, we also have to consider carefully. The power of the Blood Seed cannot be given to others at will." Uchiha Wuan pondered, his voice like a clear spring in the mountains, clear and powerful.

"Things that come easily are often not valued. Letting them earn this power through meritorious deeds may better reflect its value."

Uchiha Wuan set the tone for the spread of [Lao Jie: Blood Seed], and his eyes turned to Uchiha Muneki.

"Regarding the specific exchange matters, you need to discuss in detail with the Military Affairs Department. The exchange merits cannot be too high, so that those jonin are discouraged; nor can they be too low, so that the chunins can easily get them."

"My Lord, I understand."

"Then let's go to Zero Tail's research room and take a look."

The two walked out of the [Four-Tail Laboratory] and came to the [Zero-Tail Laboratory] next door. The two were similar, but the atmosphere was completely different.

(As expected of a Zero Tails that grew by absorbing the dark side of human hearts, with all five of them together, I don’t even have any sexual desires anymore.)
Like a sage after the event, Uchiha Wuan looked at the five most eye-catching giants in the laboratory with clear eyes.

The bodies of Zero Tails are stored in five vessels, each of which is half the size of Four Tails. It is a snake-like monster wearing a mask, as big as a double-decker bus. The number "Five" has been engraved on the mask in the order in which it was made.

"Master, the chakra of the five Zero Tails can currently meet the needs of the current Ninja World Teleportation Array and Konoha, but if we want to maintain a continental-level teleportation array, we need a new chakra teleportation array and increase the number of four Zero Tails again to maintain the daily operation of the continental-level teleportation array."

Before Uchiha Muneki could speak, the person in charge of Zero-Tail research came over, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke in an orderly manner.

Unlike the Four-Tails, which uses chakra cables to power the entire Konoha, the space teleportation arrays rely on a base with space array patterns engraved on it under the Zero-Tails to continuously transmit chakra to each space teleportation array.

"I understand. Please report this to Dean Zong Shu later and a member of the Space Technology Department will come to handle this matter."

The Space Technology Department is a new department established in Konoha in the past three years. It specializes in the research of the Flying Thunder God Formation. The main member is Uzumaki Ashina. Uzumaki Ashina has no use for the plane teleportation array, but he has some experience with the standard space teleportation array that is copied from others.

Drawing the space teleportation array of the Zero Tail base is still within the scope of ability. Even if there is a mistake, it will not be a big problem, which saves Uchiha Wuan a lot of trouble.

"The number of Zero Tails can also be increased. There will be no fewer teleportation arrays in the later stages, and the locations for training can also be moved to various villages. One is to reduce the chakra loss during space transmission, and the other is to make the Zero Tails grow faster."

The Zero Tail leader nodded and said respectfully, "I understand, Your Excellency."

After Uchiha Wuan scanned the five Zero Tails, he asked the Zero Tails leader, "How is the Wuling I sent earlier?"

"It is acting as the energy supply device for Zero Tail."

The Zero-Tails leader led the two to change the angle and pointed to the middle of the five culture vessels, where there was a smaller culture vessel connected to the five Zero-Tails through five transparent chakra cables.

"Wangling is an intelligent demon. Not only is it a collection of the dark side of human nature, it also has the power to bewitch people."

The Zero Tail leader smiled and continued, "But in front of the five Zero Tails that are constantly absorbing their power, they can't make the slightest wave."

Uchiha Wuan saw the monster in the petri dish shrink from the original arrogant shape of the Yamata no Orochi to the appearance of eight small snakes, and nodded with satisfaction.

He turned to Uchiha Muneki, his tone carrying a hint of importance.

"Dean Souju, build a Zero Tail power supply base station for the Ghost Ninja Village as soon as possible, and send the ghosts there as well. After all, it is a shrine dedicated to the Uchiha, and we cannot treat it unfairly."

"As you command, Your Excellency."

Uchiha Souju responded respectfully, but he was secretly speculating in his heart.

The gossips about Konoha Village came to his mind - the priestess of the Ghost Village might be the lover of the Leader.

(Not without basis at this point, I’m afraid.)
Uchiha Muneki planned to tell his relatives and friends when he returned to avoid offending Uchiha Takean. The priestess of the Ghost Ninja Village must not be offended.

After completing the inspection of the underground first floor, Uchiha Wuan stepped into the more secretive underground second floor - this is an area dedicated to bloodline limit research.

The second underground floor has already separated from the mountain of Hokage Cliff and goes deeper underground. A higher authority is required to enter here.

The underground areas of the Academy of Sciences are all confidential areas. In addition to signing a confidentiality agreement, researchers on different floors are strictly prohibited from moving around.

With Uchiha Souji's authority, he only knew that there was a special research department below and the people in the department were all mysterious, but he had no right to know what it was specifically about.

Uchiha Muneki suppressed the recent rumors unhappily - how could the head of the ninja world conduct human experiments? That was a joke!
The general layout of the second basement floor is similar to that of the first basement floor.

Uchiha Wuan walked into a huge laboratory. The laboratory was two hundred meters long and wide, like a giant underground warehouse. Everywhere he looked were rows of nutrient chambers for cultivating humans.

At this time, humans of different ages are being trained in each warehouse.

On the bottom base of the nutrient tank, there are labels - Senju, Uchiha, Kaguya, Hagoromo, Moon Hyuga, Ninja Hyuga, Uzumaki...

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and under the illumination of the cold light, the nutrient bin glowed with an icy luster.

“Every time I come here, I always feel a little uncomfortable.”

Uchiha Wuan's footsteps sounded on the cold metal floor, and they were particularly clear in this quiet space.

"Your Majesty the Führer."

Several researchers walking through the nutrient chamber discovered Uchiha Wuan, greeted him respectfully, and then continued with their own work.

The number of researchers here is not as large as that on the negative first floor. Most of them come from the secret base established by Uchiha Madara in Yunlei Gorge. All of them have had their wills and thoughts modified by Uchiha Wuan using the Eternal Mangekyō.

At the same time, he was also branded with the [Mark of the Tongue to Eradicate Evil].

The information here is not allowed to be leaked for the time being!
Uchiha Wuan stepped into a room marked with a plaque called [Stairway to Godhood]. The pungent smell of blood hit him in the face, making him frown.

His eyes swept across the various surgical instruments in the room, and finally stopped at the clone who was no longer breathing on the operating table.

Finally, Uchiha Wuan focused his attention on the man holding the blood-dripping scalpel, and called out the man's code name in a calm tone, "Root, how is the research on the Otsutsuki bloodline going?"

The code name of [Root] is Uchiha Wuan's bad taste, but [Root]'s ability is quite good. The clones that move freely in the alien continent are the masterpieces of [Root].

"Your Majesty the Führer."

Hearing the voice, [Root] slowly withdrew his obsessed gaze from the clone with pale skin and horns on his head. The skin that had not seen the sun all day was as pale as a dead person, but the eyes were unusually bright.

Hearing Uchiha Wuan's question, [Gen] slowly shook his head, his voice low and hoarse, but with the distress and excitement of facing a difficult problem.

"The fusion of the Otsutsuki bloodline is much more difficult than expected. Even though one hundred clones have been consumed, the experiment still has not made any progress."

In the slightly disappointed look of Uchiha Wuan, [Root] smiled slightly, "However, the research on Wood Release has made a breakthrough."

"Please follow me, Your Excellency."

[Gen] took off the bloodstained surgical gown, revealing his skinny body wrapped in a white coat, and led Uchiha Wuan to a place used for experiments.

The experimental site is square and has no unnecessary things. The metal walls around it are thick and solid, and can trap even a weaker shadow-level warrior to death.

Uchiha Wuan and [Root] stood above the experimental site, on the viewing platform separated by glass, overlooking the experimental site below.

A moment later, with the roar of a metal door, a clone in plain clothes slowly stepped into view.

Uchiha Wuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on the figure of the clone, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

If the Wood Release experiment with cloning humans is successful, it will mean that he is one step closer to mastering the power of the Rinnegan.

[Root] also had a hint of excitement on his face. He ordered in a deep voice, "Begin to use Wood Release."

"Got it, start using Wood Release."

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique."

The clone responded quickly, forming seals with both hands quickly, and with the surge of chakra, multiple wooden vine branches extended from his arms and flew into the air.

"it is good!"

As soon as Uchiha Wuan finished his words, the clone's body was pierced by countless branches in the next second, and the scene instantly became bloody.

“There’s still a little bit of instability.”

Ignoring Uchiha Wuan's dissatisfied gaze, [Root] fell into deep thought and murmured.

"We used the Uzumaki clones, the Senju clones, and finally the most adaptable Uchiha clones. What else is lacking?"

"We haven't done enough experiments yet, and the DNA samples needed for the experiments need to be expanded. We need to find clones from different cases that can stably transplant the Wood Release power of Hashirama Senju."

Looking at the mumbling Root, Uchiha Wuan took out the space scroll and handed it to Root, saying, "It contains the remains of Uchiha Madara and the five pairs of three-magatama Sharingan."

"You can try to have the clones equipped with Sharingan. Wood Release is the power of Yang Release, while Sharingan is the power of Yin Release. Perhaps the two can complement each other."

The results of the Wood Release have been demonstrated. Although it did not satisfy Uchiha Takean, it has gained his initial recognition and provided the final piece of the puzzle for the Rinnegan.

However, Uchiha Madara's Eternal Mangekyō is still in his hands.

Under the surprised and delighted gaze of the Root, Uchiha Wuan ordered, "The research on the fusion of the Otsutsuki bloodline can be put on hold for the time being. Now, we should devote all our efforts to the research on the transplantation of Wood Release. I need to see a perfect finished product!"

"Roger that, Your Excellency!"

The excited [Root] rubbed his cheek against the space scroll, and his morbidly obsessed expression made Uchiha Wuan look away, and then he said.

"I came to you today not only to learn about the progress of the research on bloodline boundaries, but also to give you another task."

"Please give your instructions, Your Excellency." [Root] responded immediately.

"There are many powerful inhuman beings in the alien continent, and the best among them is the legendary True Dragon King."

"My clone in the alien continent is too fragile. I need to use dragon blood to strengthen it."

Uchiha Wuan looked at the [Root] who was excited again and smiled slightly.

"However, it is difficult to capture the real Dragon King now. As for ordinary non-human creatures, the Ninja Corps will hunt them in the foreign continent and send them to the Academy of Sciences. You can practice with them first."

"As you command, Your Excellency!"

"In addition, the number of researchers on the negative second floor will also be expanded. From now on, this will be the negative second floor."

The increase in tasks will inevitably slow down the progress of other research, and some things have to be brought to the table and cannot be left to people's wild guesses.

Uchiha Wuan said after pondering for a moment.

"You will arrange for people to continue to expand the space underground and build a less bloody surface - second floor for the research of non-human things from other continents and general bloodline limits."

"For the work of recruiting personnel for the second floor, you can go to the Ground Science Academy to recruit people. Just report the lack of equipment. Dean Sonoki and the Konoha Secretariat will cooperate with you."

[Gen] nodded. The expansion of manpower would also be beneficial to his work. Outstanding personnel among them could also be slowly attracted to the [Inner Negative Second Floor] to better serve Uchiha Wuan.

After a while of discussion, Uchiha Wuan's shadow clone disappeared into the air, and [Root] also immersed himself in his own experiment.

The person who received the news was standing in the head of state's office at this time, looking at the bustling and ever-changing Konoha, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then he drank the cup of fine deer blood provided by the Nara clan, and glanced at Minako Minako who were busy.

Uchiha Jiji also worked at the Konoha Security Headquarters, preparing for the recruitment of personnel for the three outer city districts and the security bureau of the alien continent kingdom [Li Yestige].

The priestess Hongye was so embarrassed yesterday, so I decided not to bother her today.

The Ministry of Education also plans to expand the higher-level ninja school and calls Uchiha Hikaru to a meeting.

(Now that I think about it, the [Ox and Horse] combination from the other continent has more time.)
Uchiha Wuan's eyes moved, and his mind had already flown across the sea.
