Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 173 Kirigakure
[Northwestern Ninja Army] is stationed in the direction where the kingdom borders the Council Kingdom. The Hidden Mist Village, the strongest of the three major ninja villages, encountered a tough and powerful enemy during its fierce siege.

"What a true Dragon King! He is nothing more than this!"

The three-tailed beast roared towards the sky and stepped on the ground. The [Worm Dragon King] that was moving underground was instantly hit by the water column and lifted up from under the ground, revealing a size of dozens of meters, not inferior to the three-tailed beast.

Standing on top of the three-tailed beast, Goji Yagura stared fiercely and with satisfaction at the Worm Dragon King who was howling in pain.

It was this worm-like True Dragon King who almost devoured several Mist Ninja units fighting in the mountains, and only a few of them came back alive to report the news.

As soon as Goju Yagura's mind moved, the three people under his feet immediately opened their beast mouths full of fangs, and a huge chakra energy ball condensed in an instant and fired at the [Worm Dragon King] that was still in the air.

With a loud bang, the True Dragon King, who was able to rival the abnormal ones and was one of the five lifetime reviewers of the Review Country, was blown into two pieces.

The spurting dragon blood was like a torrential rain, spreading in all directions.

"As expected of the successor that Master Yuanshi values! With Karatachi Yagura's ability, he will have no problem becoming the Fifth Mizukage!"

In the current ninja world, there is no prejudice against Jinchūriki. On the contrary, many ninjas have a strong desire to become Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beasts. Especially the appearance of Konoha's Two-tailed Nekochūriki has pushed this situation to a climax!
In the past, the Jinchūriki was a monster, but now he is a shortcut to the end. Even the ninja cat Kiza-sama can reach the sky in one step, so it’s the same for them!
The combat ninja troops of the Hidden Mist Village were fighting against the alien ogre army. The three powerful ninja clan leaders came together to discuss.

Among them, the chiefs of the Kaguya and Kizuna tribes looked at the chief of the Snow tribe with a hint of envy in their eyes.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village, Karutagi Yagura, has already come to the fore, and the remaining Six-Tails has become a hot commodity, and has unknowingly become the property of the Ice Release Ninja Clan, the Yuki clan.

The Mizunotsuki clan originated from the Snow clan, and the ninja clan whose strength was damaged was naturally taken care of by Konoha.

With Konoha's position shifting and Uchiha Takean valuing the Mizunotsuki clan, Yuanshi's position had to shift as well.

Especially the Mizunotsuki clan, who have ice escape combined with frost dragon bloodline, and finally resonate with the frost dragon mount. Even the weakest person has strength close to the Kage level.

The new Mizunotsuki clan, even the head of the science academy, Uchiha Muneki, who taught Mizunotsuki Haku, felt a little jealous.

This ninja clan with overlapping bloodlines, in addition to their peak combat power, can easily beat the Uchiha.

"Master Yuanshi is still in his prime, it's too early to talk about the Yondaime."

The Snow Clan leader said calmly.

With strong internal strength and external support, the Snow Clan leader also wants to produce a Water Shadow of his own!
If we don't take advantage of this favorable situation, it is unlikely that the position of Mizukage will come from the Snow Clan.

Likewise, it is unlikely to come from the not-so-smart Kaguya clan.

Only talented ninjas outside of the three major ninja clans, or the Hozuki clan, which once overcame all opposition and won the position of the second-generation Mizukage, and has strong strength and endless geniuses, have this opportunity.

"Whether it's early or not is not up to us to decide. According to Master Yuanshi's intention, except for our own headquarters combat ninja, the management rights of other combat ninja are handed over to Yagura. The three of us have less say than Yagura."

The ninja forces and the civilian forces have always been the focus of competition for village interests.

If the power of the ninja clan is too strong, the interests of the civilian forces will be encroached upon; if the power of the civilian forces is too strong, the ninja clan will have to give up their interests.

If the cake of the ninja world had not been made bigger by Uchiha Wuan, there would have been substantial conflicts of interest in the ninja villages sooner or later, or even wars over the division of interests between villages and countries. From the perspective of the ninja clan, the head of the Hozuki clan did not mind the Snow Clan taking the lead.

But from the perspective of their own ninja clan, the existence of the Snow Clan is a bit of an eyesore.

"If the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is born, perhaps Master Yuanshi will change his mind."

The Six-Tails is in the hands of the Master. If one wants the Six-Tails, one must get the Master's consent. However, the Master himself prefers someone who is not from the three major ninja clans to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, so as to balance the power of the Hidden Mist Village.

If the Snow Clan wants to become a Jinchūriki, they have only two choices - to side with the Master, or to force the Master to hand over the Six-Tails through external pressure.

The former is basically unrealistic. If the Snow Clan joins the Master who focuses on balance, they will never get much, and even the ones who will be powerful will be Hozuki and Kaguya.

The Snow Clan leader, who knew that the Ghost Lantern Clan leader had ill intentions, looked indifferent. Before he could speak, the Kaguya Clan leader, who had long been impatient, said disdainfully, "If you put a monster in your body, wouldn't you also become a monster?"

"My Kaguya clan doesn't need that kind of thing. My corpse bone veins are the blood that surpasses the tailed beasts!"

After saying this, the burly man pulled out a bone sword from his spine, shouted excitedly, and charged towards the ogre army that was beginning to retreat with the death of the Worm Dragon King.

"Early Fern Dance!"

Countless sharp and thick bone spurs cut through the ground and pierced the ogres one by one. The goblin army accompanying the ogres were directly pierced in half, and their internal organs fell to the ground.

"The strength of the Kaguya clan leader has reached the level of Kage."

The head of the Hozuki clan narrowed his eyes slightly, "No wonder he dares to speak so arrogantly. You have to know that those adults in Konoha are all Jinchūriki."

"It doesn't matter what he says, but we can't let the adults of Konoha misunderstand the position of the Hidden Mist Village."

The Snow Clan leader glanced at the powerful Kaguya Clan leader with an unfriendly look, then turned to look at the Hozuki Clan leader, "Among the three of us, who can compare to you, Hozuki Clan leader, in terms of strength?"

"Haha."

The head of the Hozuki clan laughed, "There is always someone stronger than you. There is always someone higher than you. In front of Konoha, the Hozuki clan is just a bigger grasshopper."

"Chief Gui Deng is too modest."

"You are too kind, Chief Snow."

While the two were talking, Gotachibana Yagura collected the bones of the Worm Dragon King. Part of the bones of the true Dragon King would be sent to the Konoha Academy and handed in as merit.

Part of it will be sent to the Hidden Mist Village’s own research institute, not to overtake others but to consolidate its own position.

The troops led by Gotachibana Yagura were advancing like a hot knife through butter. Just as they were about to kill an Obsidian Dragon King who was covered in black with metallic luster, a man wearing platinum armor slowly descended.
