Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 273 A New Opportunity for Konoha! We Must Seize It!

It was noted how much importance the village placed on the symbiotic combat suit.

At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga finally realized the problem.

I missed out on 100 million taels!

What kind of meetings do the elders of the Hyuga clan frequently hold to discuss how to make the Hyuga clan rise to prominence?

The results of it?

A groundbreaking technology, held by the branch family ninjas, was not mastered.

They even drove their own people to the point of killing each other, to the point that they sought help from outside their own families.

Today we only lost a technology.

What about in a few more days?

Loyal members of the clan, having been taught about the importance of family loyalty from a young age, would certainly not choose to betray their clan.

But do these domesticated tribesmen really have the potential to create new ninjutsu?

Will the talented members of the branch family, upon hearing the story of Hyuga Akihara, all choose to betray the family by using their skills?

Hiashi Hyuga believes in the gentle martial art that has been passed down for thousands of years.

However, the techniques of other ninjas continued to accumulate and improve.

If one technique can't compare to Soft Fist, can't ten techniques compare?

Accumulated over time.

The Hyuga family has truly become obsolete!

"The clan must change! If we continue to be arrogant, the Hyuga's reputation will be ruined by me!" Hyuga Hiashi made up his mind.

Change is necessary, but it shouldn't be done blindly.

Even if a traitor like Hyuga Akihara has mastered valuable skills, we absolutely cannot let him go!

Everything for the sake of Hyuga's dignity!

Hiashi Hyuga's idea smoothly shifted from changing the Hyuga clan to eliminating Akihara Hyuga.

Hinata Akihara clearly looks like a jounin!

It might even lead to becoming an elite Jonin!

After all, even if the main family members are useless, they have at least undergone rigorous training since childhood, so they should have the combat power of a special Jonin, right?

That traitor killed a member of the main clan, who was among the top-tier Chunin.

Within the village, there is also the protection and favoritism of three generations of adults.

He had no way to attack Hinata Akihara.

The best opportunity might be... waiting for Uchiha and Tsunade to return to the village?

As fellow veteran ninja clans of Konoha, they have no reason not to uphold justice for the Hyuga clan, right?

'The clan elders have consistently shown goodwill towards the Hokage; there's no need to stop them.'

'I can use my father's serious illness and the elders' power grab as reasons to side with the Uchiha and Tsunade. Regardless of who wins or loses, the Hyuga clan can flexibly switch sides.'

'The Third Hokage did not reveal that the developer of the Konoha battle suit ninja tools was a traitorous branch family ninja, which may be a gesture by the Asahi clan to curry favor with their own family.'

'Doing this shouldn't offend the Hokage.'

Hiashi Hyuga pondered to himself.

He wanted to be a fence-sitter and continue the tradition of the Hyuga family.

The Byakugan's irreplaceable nature means that no high-ranking official can completely abandon the Hyuga!

Just as Hyuga Hiashi was having a good time, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw out another 'Tailed Beast Ball'.

"The village will not easily give up on research into ninja tools. Everyone is welcome to share their excellent designs." He set the tone for the Konoha battle suit: ninja tools are a must!

The purpose of this meeting is not to discuss whether to develop ninja tools, but rather how to develop them!

"Similarly, the development of secret techniques is also of paramount importance!"

The representatives from all levels of the ninja class held their breath, realizing that the real highlight was about to begin!

Secret technique!

A name that lasts a lifetime in a ninja career!

Any ninja who develops a powerful and inheritable secret technique is enough to create a ninja clan!

Even the origins of many ninja clans can be traced back to a simple secret technique.

"Based on the ideas from several researchers, including the certification from Orochimaru, the head of the research department, the village has decided to research 'solidification ninjutsu'!"

Solidified Ninjutsu?

The ninjas had never heard of this type of ninjutsu before.

Is it a sealing technique?

Or is it an illusion?

It can't just be regular ninjutsu, can it?

The ninja clan showed little interest in researching new techniques.

If a technology is not easily disseminated, there is little point in the village developing new techniques.

The scope of new technology research is likely to be extremely broad.

For the ninja clan, practicing this new technique only added unnecessary pressure to the clan members.

They don't practice, but they're afraid the new techniques will be even more effective.

It's a case of being blocked on both ends.

If a research project is decided upon through this method of announcing research at a meeting, the ninja clan will probably have to pay for it, and it will be a lot of money!

Ninjutsu with a wide range of applications is beneficial to ordinary ninjas.

The rise of commoner ninjas has led to more intense competition with clan ninjas.

The ninja clan is spending money to cultivate a bunch of 'rivals'?

Isn't that crazy?

Hearing that Orochimaru was endorsing them, many ordinary Jonin representatives naturally gained a greater degree of trust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words drew everyone's attention. He nodded in satisfaction and explained, "The so-called solidification ninjutsu is inspired by the First Hokage's Wood Release ninjutsu!"

The actual inspiration comes from ninja beasts, and the 'ninjutsu' can be released without any pre-cast animation.

The reason for using the name of the first generation is...

When it comes to making grand promises, you must aim for a more rounded and sculpted version!

When everyone heard that it involved the First Hokage and the mysterious Wood Release technique, they were immediately intrigued!

Wouldn't the investment just flow into my account like water?

"It is said that the First Hokage never needed to form hand seals when releasing Wood Release ninjutsu!"

"Put your hands together, chant whatever spell you want, and you'll unleash that spell!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said confidently, "Let me clarify one thing: this is not a rumor! The First Hokage truly did not need to form hand seals to release ninjutsu!"

The ninjas in the audience looked surprised and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"The First Hokage doesn't need hand seals? Doesn't that mean he can kill enemies very quickly?"

"It's not just fast! If I unleash ten ninjutsu in a row, the enemy might not even be able to cast a single one!"

"Perhaps we've been misled by tradition! Who says you have to form hand seals to unleash ninjutsu?"

"Is this for real? Without hand seals, how can you control the flow of chakra within your body? At most, you could simplify the hand seals!"

"..."

The ninjas held different attitudes, some doubting, some excited, and some puzzled.

Regardless of their true thoughts, everyone stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The concept of solidified ninjutsu is so advanced, it must be an extremely excellent project!

Even Hiashi Hyuga was drawn to Hiruzen Sarutobi's flatbread.

I subconsciously looked up and listened intently.

"Based on fundamental principles, solidifying ninjutsu takes it a step further. It involves exploring how to fix ninjutsu to specific parts of the skin, facial features, etc., so that it can be released directly when needed!"

"Abandon the traditional methods of hand seals and releasing ninjutsu!"

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped a bombshell with a smile: "Don't forget, everyone, the Chakra Extraction Method is also a type of ninjutsu!"

These words caused an uproar among the civilian Jonin in the audience!

"Refining method! If the refining method were engraved on the skin to refine chakra, would the internal chakra refining process be affected?"

"If it weren't affected, wouldn't everyone's chakra refining speed almost double?!"

"One of the problems that troubles everyone in their training is definitely the speed of chakra refining!"

"That's me! Once my chakra reaches a certain level, the amount of chakra I condense is almost the same as the amount of chakra consumed by the refining method! Relying purely on training, my chakra level hasn't changed in three years! I can only rely on expensive resources to grind it up little by little!"

"..."

The ninja world is a world that values ​​bloodlines!

If your bloodline isn't strong, you can't even build up your chakra reserves!

Solidified ninjutsu gives these bloodline losers a chance to catch up with and surpass the bloodline inheritors!

The voices of approval from ordinary ninjas grew louder and louder.

The ninja clan members who were watching the spectacle looked grim upon hearing this.

This does not mean that the power of ordinary ninjas completely surpasses that of clan ninjas.

Instead, the truly powerful and established ninja clans went to wreak havoc on the Land of Fire.

I don't have time to earn those meager rewards in Konoha Village.

Upon seeing the 'outraged crowd,' Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately and righteously assured them: 'The solidified ninjutsu and the Konoha battle suit are Konoha's best chance ever!'

"We must seize this opportunity to make Konoha stand firmly at the top of the ninja world!"

Konoha, the leader of the five great nations, almost fell from its peak under his rule!

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi very anxious and frustrated!

Finally, he got his chance!

A great opportunity for Konoha to be in his hands!
