Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 178 The Ninja World is like a detonating tag, poised to explode!

"Hiss, with such a powerful effect, stinging ants are bound to become a best-selling product."

Tsunade put down the scroll and examined the antidote ants on the table.

Do you have a way to mass-produce stinging ants?

“Fungal mats.” Yuuki smiled and uttered two words, adding, “Most of the fungal mats collected by the Uchiha clan were used to feed the stinging ants.”

Tsunade smacked her lips.

This kid is indeed quite good at scheming.

Were they already planning to detoxify stinging ants when they were already promoting the sale of fungal mats?

"Do you intend to keep this skill for yourself, or hand it over to the village in a trade?"

With this secret technique, Uchiha Yuuki could steadily become an elder of Konoha, and even succeed the Fourth and Fifth Hokage in the future!

If the Secret Technique: Pulse Guidance is successfully tested and proven effective, it will be a huge sensation for all the ninjas in Konoha.

A crack has appeared in the shackles of blood!

A ninja who has reached the limit of chakra no longer needs to worry about potential.

It belongs to the most basic secret techniques among the basic secret techniques.

It's a skill that can be passed down for a lifetime and support the family.

“I’m willing to share with my fellow villagers, but I won’t hand over the technology,” Yuki said.

Tsunade was slightly moved. The moment she finished reading the secret technique, she admitted that she only wanted to keep the secret technique to herself and leave it for the Senju and Uchiha clans to use, and never pass it on to others.

It seems that my perspective was too narrow.

The will of fire remains as strong as ever.

"However..." Tsunade changed the subject, "With war imminent, should we postpone the implementation of the Ant Stinging Technique?"

“Tsunade-nee!” Yuuki said sincerely, “This is the time for the children to lay a foundation, and the Ant Stinging Technique is the best technique to lay a foundation.”

"If this drags on, how long will it last?"

"The war is over? Is that ten years from now, or eight years from now? Are we going to wait until most of the talented young ninjas have died before spreading the secret techniques? What's the point then?"

"The best time to learn secret techniques was five years ago, the second best time is now!"

"Moreover, by cultivating enough outstanding branches and advancing like a snowball, we can cultivate more than 10,000 Chunin in just a few years."

"At that time, we can sweep through and take down the other four great ninja villages!"

Yuuki stared intently at Tsunade, his face flushed, revealing an even higher level of ambition once again.

The Four Great Ninja Villages?

Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly. Had this brat's ambitions swelled to this extent since he took control of the police department?

"Tsunade! You've been the Senju clan leader for some time now?" Yuuki's tone softened. "You've already seen the village gradually decaying. What is the Senju clan like now?"

Silence fell over the secret room as Tsunade's thoughts returned to the integration efforts of the past few days.

Life is not easy for the Senju family.

This family had been without a clan leader for over a decade, and the previous two clan leaders even considered dissolving the family.

This has jeopardized trust within the family.

It was only because the clan suffered too many losses during the Fourth Shinobi World War, many elders lacked ambition, and there was also the deterrent effect of Grandma Mito that the clan did not descend into chaos.

The various branches that developed freely became extremely wealthy in some areas, while others could barely afford even the 'ninja nutrition meals'.

Not to mention those clansmen who had their Senju surname removed and became ordinary commoners.

Tsunade sighed helplessly, as if she had said something, yet also as if she hadn't said anything at all.

Yuuki sighed, "As the war draws closer, the village is not only not becoming more vigilant, but is instead moving further and further down the path of decay!"

The decay of Konoha was happening much faster than we imagined.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards war changed.

The approach shifted from initially establishing authority through war to cautiously launching wars, or even avoiding war altogether.

This change in attitude directly led to a serious deterioration of Konoha's economic problems!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, was unable to handle this problem well, and may not have even noticed it!

Yuuki deduced this from the latest data.

The village currently has over 20,000 ninjas!

That's right. After two major battles and the loss of more than 7,000 ninjas, the number of Konoha's visible ninjas quickly increased to 20,000!

The pressure from both the Senju and Uchiha clans led Hiruzen Sarutobi to recall retired, demobilized, and career-changing ninjas.

There is also the reason that the hidden forces of small and medium-sized families are re-employed.

Of course, there's also the reason for "forcing growth" through hard promotions and forced graduations.

The village spent almost its entire annual budget, including fines provided by the police department, just to promote this group of ninjas.

But don't forget, there are still 7,000 ninjas whose compensation and medical expenses are waiting to be distributed!

To support the ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi... no, Danzo Shimura even sold off some of the village's assets to fund the military.

It goes without saying who ended up with some of the valuable assets.

"Konoha, no, the entire ninja world, is in a precarious situation! Tsunade, if we don't fight now, Konoha might fall completely from its position as the number one ninja village in this storm!"

Is it that serious?

Tsunade thought Yuuki was exaggerating.

How powerful is Konoha?

With a village at the Kage level, why would they fear the almost extinct Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages?

The only problem might be that Kushina is still young, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can't unleash her full power?

But people outside the village don't know this.

Who would have thought that the new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be a child?

"The situation is extremely critical!" Yuuki carefully analyzed the four countries: "Since the village was established, each country has been exploring how to become stronger in different directions. Only our Konoha has been intoxicated by the glory of the past. This is the defeat of arrogance."

"Amegakure stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, based on poison, deterring the three great nations from entering its territory. Will the smaller ninja villages be envious? Will they research similar deterrent ninjutsu?"

"Faced with numerous external crises and internal decay, they concealed sacrifices, betrayed allies, marginalized the Uchiha clan, poached members of the Senju clan, and suppressed and even monitored clan members. For the sake of easier management, they ignored the internal conflicts within the Hyuga clan..."

"The enemy is growing stronger, while we are growing weaker!"

"The ninja world is like a lit explosive tag, ready to explode at any moment!"

"If we don't seize this opportunity, the fuel that will burn the ninja world will be Konoha Village!"

"Therefore, for the sake of Konoha and the ninja world, we must promote the Sneezing Ant Technique and quickly cultivate our own elite forces!"
