Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 271 Welcoming Yuuki-kun back to Konoha to preside over government affairs?!

The capital of the Land of Fire.

After the uproar, the capital fell into an eerie silence.

Uchiha Yuuki finally felt a long-lost peace on this land.

The Grand Minister of State did not disappoint Yuki.

After a brief period of chaos, the government of the Land of Fire quickly stabilized, and also provided Konoha with a 200 million tael grant to the Daimyo and Uchiha Castle with a 400 million tael grant.

This amount of money isn't much, but it shows an attitude.

Brother Uchiha, we're all in this together!

After absorbing the remnants of the divine tree and gaining control of the three divine trees, You Shu completely stepped into the perfect Dharma Body level.

The Dharmakaya is named—Void and Myriad Phenomena.

Chakra transformed into black insects, guarding Yuuki's side.

With the blessing of his Dharma body, he will create a domain that is hundreds of meters in diameter.

Within its domain, it deflects enemy attacks and ninjutsu, while an endless stream of chakra worms bite and tear at the enemy.

Yuki's Dharmakaya is different from Hatake Sakumo's Dharmakaya.

All the insect swarms he contracts can be added to his Dharmakaya, bringing more diverse 'special effects'.

This is the core of the Dharmakaya.

Without this power, it would be difficult for a Dharma Body level expert to crush a Shadow level expert!

Each Dharmakaya-level being possesses their own personal will, shaping their unique Dharmakaya characteristics!

Similar to an enhanced version of the Kaleidoscope's exclusive eye technique.

"Sigh, I'm not that warlike, so why are all the special techniques combat-oriented abilities?"

The Dharma body of the myriad phenomena of the void and the swarm of insects complement each other.

Millions of insects received the blessing of the Dharma Body Domain, and their overall attributes were amplified. What a powerful force that must have been!

Yushu slowly withdrew the aura of his Dharma body, returning to a calm and undisturbed state.

Sensing the aura dissipate, Uchiha Shouichi's knocking and shouting came from outside the door.

"Brother, Minister Sakumo Hatake is here to visit!"

"Sakumo Hatake?" Yuuki didn't understand.

The top fighter in Konoha Village, and head of both the Anbu and the education department...

Why didn't he stay in the village to teach and nurture people? Why did he suddenly come to the capital of the Land of Fire?

The funds allocated by the government have already been returned to the village.

Could it have been embezzled by someone along the way?

"Shouyi, what's the latest intelligence?"

After calling out twice, several more scrolls appeared.

He also checked other channels to get a comprehensive understanding of the recent situation in Konoha and guessed the general reason for Hatake Sakumo's visit.

"Hatake Sakumo couldn't escape his fate? Mission failed, villagers died tragically, and he was even suppressed by public opinion?"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Sakumo-kun is such a kind person!

If it were Orochimaru, he would have killed someone in the middle of the night long ago if he had been suppressed by such obviously absurd public opinion.

Only a good person like Sakumo Hatake, who truly loves the village and shows mercy, would be targeted by public opinion with a gun pointed at him.

But this time, instead of committing suicide, he chose to come to the capital?

Escape? Fight back? Or give up?

Thinking about it, Yuuki couldn't help but find it amusing.

Sarutobi Hiroto really goes to great lengths to hurt those who trust him.

Now look what's happened. The loyal ones are either dead or have run away, leaving only a great 'loyal subject' like Yuuki.

While Yuuki was reviewing intelligence, a visitor's invitation from Hatake Sakumo was handed to his door.

...

When Yuuki saw Sakumo Hatake again, he noticed that the other man had grown a few white hairs and seemed to be having a hard time.

"Sakumo-kun, you've come from afar, is it to carry out a mission?"

Sakumo Hatake hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and then said, "I have no mission. I mainly came to visit Yuuki-kun."

Hearing this, Yuuki found it amusing.

He was curious about the extent to which Hatake Sakumo had changed.

So, Yuuki changed the subject, saying, "You've come at the perfect time! I've successfully broken through to the Dharma Body level!"

"Dharma Body level?" Sakumo Hatake was taken aback.

“That’s right. The realm beyond Kage level is called Dharma Body level.” Yuuki explained, “I saw it in an ancient book in the ruins. As the quality and quantity of chakra continuously improve and condense, it eventually condenses into a chakra body outside the body that is far superior to the original body. Therefore, it is called Dharma Body level.”

Sakumo Hatake suddenly realized that the chakra clones he could manipulate and release at any time were called Dharmakaya!

"Congratulations, congratulations on your improved strength, Yuuki-kun. This Dharma body... are there any special features or points to note?"

Yuuki smiled and explained, "After each ninja condenses their magic, a unique technique is born, somewhat similar to our clan's Mangekyou Sharingan."

As one of the top leaders in Konoha, Hatake Sakumo naturally knew about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

I understand even more just how powerful those eye techniques created by individuals truly are!

Uchiha Yuuki provides a brief explanation of how to control the Dharma Body.

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo closed his eyes and slowly communicated with the Dharma body within his body.

Soon I received a message.

Boundless Slashes at the Dharma Body!

After releasing the Dharma body, a domain is formed within a radius of 100 meters, restricting the enemy's movements.

The domain is filled with countless sharp wind blades, which annihilate life within it at the speed of the wind!

"What a powerful Dharma body! Thank you so much, Minister Yushu, for your selfless sharing."

Sakumo Hatake was busy with village affairs and had not been able to settle down to study the Dharmakaya.

To be more precise, he had absolutely no idea about the specifics of the Dharmakaya.

“We’re all comrades, it’s only right.” Yuuki used his sensory abilities to analyze the aura emanating from Hatake Sakumo, quickly gathering data from his other avatar. “So, Sakumo-kun, what brings you here from the village in such a hurry?”

Sakumo Hatake twisted his headband and said seriously to Yuuki, "I hope Yuuki-kun can return to the village and correct the mistakes made by the Third Hokage!"

"I don't deny that the Third Hokage led the village through that somewhat dark period!"

"However, people always change over time."

"I believe that the Third Hokage is no longer suitable to lead Konoha."

Upon hearing Sakumo Hatake's words, Yuuki crossed his hands in front of him, leaned back gently against the chair, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"On one hand, you're working hard to improve the village despite the lack of understanding, and on the other hand, you're receiving insults and slander from the villagers. You must feel very exhausted, right?"

Yuuki's tone was slightly sarcastic: "Isn't that what ninjas are all about? Only by enduring all kinds of unbearable pain can one be called a ninja?"

What was Sakumo Hatake trying to explain?

Yuuki interrupted the other person, shaking his head and saying, "Pain is never something to be praised, nor is it a panacea to be accepted and endured. Hardships do not make people grow, but only make them shrink back and become fearful."

"So, is it because Sakumo-kun has decided to leave and no longer wants to stay in the village?"

Sakumo Hatake was startled, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Unexpectedly, his thoughts were seen through by the 'half-acquaintance' in front of him.

Sakumo Hatake's first thought was to entrust the matter to Yuuki Uchiha, and then lead his trusted confidants who were willing to leave and work together to find a small town to settle down in.

Alternatively, he could voluntarily transfer to the capital of the Land of Fire and become the Daimyo's guardian ninja; that would also be a viable option.

Even though the eldest brother had just died, he felt pretty good about it.

The new daimyo is only a few years old, so there won't be many conflicts between them.

"I really can't hide it from you."

Yuuki shook his head: "That's a real shame."

“I established a medical association in the village, held regular lectures, and distributed written articles.”

“I have always been looking forward to the birth of a true enlightened one in the village.”

"Looking forward to a ninja rooted in the earth, daring to face the decaying thunder."

"I look forward to a flower blooming on a cliff, displaying its dazzling courage."

"What a pity! When faced with a crisis, this powerful figure dared not raise the blade of rebellion, and instead tried to entrust the matter to someone else."

"The teeth in your hand are sharp, but the knife in your heart is dull."
