Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

Page 141

"Forty or fifty people?" Xuan Ye stroked his chin, pondering. He felt that it was actually quite a lot.

I originally thought there would only be twenty or thirty people at most.

The number of clansmen who have successfully cultivated immortal techniques has exceeded Xuan Ye's expectations.

Fugaku continued, "I've already assigned some of the more talented members of the clan to mentor the others, which will save you some time!"

Previously, more than a dozen people would come to Xuan Ye for guidance every day, which was a huge waste of Xuan Ye's time.

Fugaku's actions.

This is also to save Gen-ye's time as much as possible.

This will allow him to cultivate in peace!

Of course, the geniuses in the clan can only be guided on the basics; for the more difficult ones, Xuan Ye may still need to teach them personally!

"Uncle Fugaku is so thoughtful, he really can save me a lot of time!" Genye said casually, and then flattered Fugaku again, making the latter laugh out loud!

Fugaku suddenly looked at Genya and said seriously, "Genya, thank you for personally teaching Sasuke Sage Mode!"

Sasuke is only five years old. Even with his outstanding talent, his comprehension is limited. Thanks to Genya's patient teaching these past few days, he has been able to master Sage Mode so quickly.

"Sasuke actually learned Sage Mode?"

Even Yukino's eyes widened when she heard this, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, her progress in immortal arts is slow.

It seems I can't quite grasp the thought process or the solution!

Upon hearing this news, Yukino felt a sense of being outdone and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yukino's reaction caught the attention of the observant Genba, who didn't immediately comfort her but instead said to Fugaku, "It's all thanks to Sasuke's talent and hard work that he was able to learn Sage Mode so quickly, and with Uncle Fugaku's patient guidance, he's made such great progress!"

"You're too modest!" Fugaku shook his head, then his expression turned serious. "According to the information I have, it seems that Sasuke had a conflict with the young people of the Mito clan a couple of days ago, and even used Sage Mode. The fact that our Uchiha clan is collectively practicing Sage Mode will probably soon be known to the higher-ups in Konoha!"

"It's alright!" Xuan Ye waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Uchiha clan members, whether on missions or not.

Or perhaps it will lead to going to the battlefield in the future.

They would all become known in the village, or even in villages outside the village, that they had cultivated immortal arts.

This is inevitable.

Genba frowned and said, "Uncle Fugaku, I suspect that the higher-ups in Konoha might use the village as a pretext to force us to hand over the cultivation methods for Sage Mode."

There's a reason I said that.

After all, the higher-ups in Konoha are extremely hypocritical and shameless.

"I'll be careful!" Fugaku nodded and said.

At the same time, I think what Genba said makes a lot of sense!

Just as Fugaku was about to invite the two to lunch.

Yukino declined the invitation, citing work commitments.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xuan Ye followed him out.

The two left Fugaku's residence one after the other.

"Yukino-nee, what's wrong?" Genye walked up to her with a smile and walked alongside her.

Yukino rolled her eyes at Genba and said irritably, "It's nothing, I'm in a hurry to get back to work!"

"Busy with work?" Xuan Ye asked, puzzled. "You're not going back to read, are you?"

"Say that again!" Yukino snorted, realizing she was no match for Genba, otherwise she would have liked to go up and knock him on the head!

Genye grinned and said, "Yukino-nee, since you want to learn Sage Mode, let me teach you step by step!"

"Really?" Yukino's eyes lit up. She had thought about this question as well, but the thought of asking Genyo made her feel embarrassed to ask!

“Of course!” Xuan Ye said very seriously!

...

the next day.

An ANBU ninja then "invited" Fugaku to a meeting in the Hokage's office building conference room.

As he stepped into the large conference room.

The top officials of Konoha have already taken their seats.

Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted him with unusual politeness, saying, "Clan Chief Fugaku, please have a seat!"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

So Fugaku put in his best effort!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around at the surrounding executives and said, "We've convened this emergency meeting today because there's something important, or rather, some good news, to share with everyone!"

"What good news?" One of the advisors, Mitokado Homura, feigned surprise and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi with a look of anticipation. The latter coughed and said with a smile:

"According to our intelligence, we've heard that the Uchiha clan of Konoha has developed a Sage Technique that can enhance the strength of ninjas!"

After Sasuke fought against Mitokado Akira and others last time.

The Anbu responsible for monitoring Naruto discovered Sasuke's unusual behavior.

In addition, there was the investigation by the Root ninjas.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Finally, the Konoha leadership discovered that the Uchiha elites were collectively practicing Sage Mode.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi learned of this situation, he was initially very shocked.

At the same time, he thought about how he had been refused cultivation of immortal arts by the Shigu Forest.

After the contract was unilaterally broken.

He felt an extreme sense of imbalance.

Therefore, the purpose of today's meeting is to leverage the power of the various clans to force the Uchiha clan to hand over the method for cultivating Sage Mode!

Fugaku was not surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, and replied, "Thank you, everyone. You're very kind!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Clan Chief Fugaku, as you know, in recent years, especially after the Nine-Tails' attack and the last war with Kumogakure, Konoha's overall strength has declined significantly. If the village's elite ninjas were to train in Sage Mode together, Konoha's strength would increase dramatically, and no one would dare to mess with us. Am I right?"

"The Hokage is absolutely right! Perhaps our Hidden Leaf Village can stand among the Five Great Hidden Villages with our Sage Mode, and then no one will dare to attack or bully our Hidden Leaf!" said Mitokado Homura.

The two were practically performing a charade, one singing and the other harmonizing, appearing cheerful on the surface but harboring malicious intentions in reality.

They wanted to use the power of Konoha's higher-ups to force the Uchiha to hand over a weakened version of the Sage Mode training method!

Fugaku chuckled and said indifferently, "With the correct leadership of our Hokage, that's enough. Konoha will surely become the strongest village, and the Third Hokage may even become the second God of Shinobi!"

But when Fugaku finished speaking, the many high-ranking officials of Konoha looked at each other in bewilderment.

There is only one God of Shinobi, and that is the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Fugaku's words were practically a case of flattery to death.

At that moment, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. He said, "The First Hokage's contributions to the ninja world are great and indelible. No matter what efforts I make, I can never surpass his contributions and status!"

Then, he looked at Fugaku and said, "Clan Chief Fugaku, for the sake of the village's development, please hand over the method for cultivating Sage Mode. At that time, all the ninjas and villagers in our village will thank you!"

On the surface, it's a request.

In reality, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the cultivation method that forced Fugaku to hand over the Sage Mode by the crowd.

Mitomon Homura and the others smiled upon hearing these words.

As long as you obtain the cultivation method for immortal techniques.

Their family's strength will definitely increase significantly.

Meanwhile, Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, and the others frowned deeply.

They didn't think Fugaku would be so foolish as to hand over the Sage Mode!

really.

Fugaku said expressionlessly, "I refuse!"

His answer was expected by everyone. Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became serious, and he said, "Clan Chief Fugaku, please consider the bigger picture. Only when Konoha is strong can the Uchiha clan have a better chance to develop."

"That's right, Clan Chief Fugaku. After all, you are the head of the Uchiha clan. You need to have a broad vision and great wisdom. Don't let yourself be blinded by small, immediate gains. The development of the village should be your top priority!"

"That's right!" The members of Hiruzen Sarutobi's faction vehemently denounced Fugaku, trying to force him to hand over the cultivation method of Sage Mode!

Having anticipated this, Fugaku cleared his throat and said:

"Since that's the case, then it's not impossible. If the Hokage agrees to the following conditions, I might reluctantly agree!"

"What are the conditions?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Fugaku with a puzzled look.

Fugaku then spoke up, saying, "I've heard that the Sarutobi clan is famous for producing ninja tools, holding over 60% of the market share in Konoha. Could you perhaps give half of that share to the Uchiha clan? After all, the Uchiha are part of Konoha. If the Uchiha are strong, Konoha is strong. We will definitely do our utmost for the development of Konoha."

"The Flying Thunder God Technique and other secret techniques left behind by the Second Hokage are said to be highly coveted by our clan's genius, Gen-ye. We urge the Hokage to support him, as he is a member of Konoha. As long as he becomes stronger, he will definitely protect our village without hesitation."

"I've heard that the Mitomon clan has many beautiful women. Could we send a few dozen to our Uchiha clan to help and inspire our young men in their training? Perhaps then they'll be more dedicated to their missions, less afraid of death on the battlefield, and will do everything in their power to protect our Hidden Leaf Village!"

"Furthermore, it seems that the Utatane clan still holds five percent of Konoha's real estate market share. Since it has shrunk to this extent, why not let us Uchiha manage it all? After all, the Utatane clan's real estate projects are really terrible, with many unfinished projects and poor quality. We Uchiha will clean up the mess and solve the problems for you. Just give it to us for free!"

At this moment, Fugaku was in full swing, talking incessantly. Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to interrupt him several times, but Fugaku ignored him each time. If a dog were to walk by at this moment, it would probably be scolded by Fugaku.

That makes sense.

Immortal arts are a high-level secret technique.

The secret level is no less than that of the Bloodline Limit Sharingan.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi to force the Uchiha clan to hand it over, any normal person would think that the former has something wrong with his brain. It's like the former came to the Hyuga clan and asked them to hand over the secret of the Byakugan. Who would agree to that?

Fugaku's combat ability is truly formidable; he directly activates a multi-target attack mode.

No one else could get a word in edgewise.

After a while, the saliva dried up.

Fugaku drank several cups of hot tea in a row!

"Lord Hokage, that concludes my brief statement. We Uchiha are part of Konoha. To prevent Sage Mode from falling into the hands of those with wicked intentions, we refuse to teach it to outsiders. We hope you understand!" Fugaku took another sip of tea; his long-winded speech had practically made his throat burn!

The people in the large conference room looked at each other in bewilderment!

They've been talking for almost twenty minutes.

Your statement is too simple?

Faced with Fugaku's proposal, the Konoha high-ranking officials from the Hokage faction remained silent with grim faces.

at the same time.

Some clan heads also spoke in support of the Uchiha clan, including Hiashi Hyuga, who said:

"Lord Hokage, since Sage Mode was created by the Uchiha clan, we have no reason to force them to hand it over. We cannot stand on the moral high ground and demand that others make sacrifices or do things that go against the interests of our own clan!"

Nara Shikaku chimed in, "Clan Chief Hiashi is right. We should respect the Uchiha's ideas!"

The other clan leaders also nodded in agreement.

Today, the higher-ups in Konoha demanded that the Uchiha clan forcibly hand over their Sage Mode training methods.

Will it be my own family next time?

If we don't stop it today, then when misfortune befalls us next time, no one will come to our aid!

The various families all have conflicting interests, but today they have surprisingly remained united, which was beyond Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations. He originally thought that the various families would agree to this matter for their own interests.

It turned out to be just wishful thinking on his part.

Furthermore, the heads of the various clans are not fools. Even if Fugaku were willing to hand over the cultivation methods for Sage Mode, would Hiruzen Sarutobi really teach the members of the various clans to cultivate it? It's really not certain!

And even if it is handed over.

It's difficult to guarantee that the other party won't modify the cultivation method of immortal techniques.

If this results in the injury or disability of a genius within the clan, it would be a net loss, something that no major clan can accept.

After all, those who want to learn immortal arts must be geniuses within their families.
