Chapter 31 The Hand Clan: Declined to This State
Konoha Police Department, meeting room.
On the heavy wooden table, a list was being passed around among the people.
The list clearly states—
Total number of applicants: 5220
Uchiha Clan: 2302 people
Kurama family: 420 people
Kazami Family: 300 people
Hyuga Clan: 200 people
Pig, Deer, Butterfly: 100 people
The Senju family: 42 members
Small family... commoners...
Fugaku Uchiha glanced at the numbers on the paper and frowned slightly: "The Senju clan... only 42 people signed up? 3 Jonin, 9 Chunin, and 30 Genin. The Senju clan has declined to this extent; it seems they have truly fallen."
The Eighth Hokage sneered, "Back then, they barely maintained their status by relying on the remaining prestige of the First Hokage, but now they can't even produce a decent strongman."
Uchiha Mitsumine took the list, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The Senju clan suffered terribly at the hands of Hiruzen Sarutobi. After the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade left the village citing hemophobia. However, many women in the Senju clan marry outside the clan, so their influence is considerable. Their existence is advantageous to us."
Fugaku Uchiha didn't respond, but continued to examine the list.
Uchiha Mitsunaga tapped his fingers lightly on the table and analyzed, "The Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Hiruzen Sarutobi are very close, but this time they sent 100 people over. It seems they don't want to choose the wrong side."
"The Aburame family has close ties with Danzo, and the fact that they sent 10 people to register indicates that they are still observing the situation."
"The main force of the Hyuga clan is on the battlefield in Sunagakure. Sending 200 people this time is already a gesture of goodwill."
Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly: "It seems that the landscape of Konoha has changed."
Uchiha Mitsunori closed the list, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, as if he could see through the paper to the hidden truth behind it.
"Our Uchiha clan has 2302 members registered, but we can't take them all. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi announced his abdication after the war, that old man Danzo Shimura will definitely not let it go. So we're only taking 1000 elite troops to the Hidden Mist battlefield, and the remaining 1302 will stay in Konoha just in case."
The Eighth Hokage nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to stay in the clan to guard it. If Shimura Danzo causes trouble, I will cut off his claws. Don't worry about the village and the guard unit; I will handle it!"
With a serious expression, Fugaku Uchiha solemnly said, "Mitsubone, I have decided to appoint you as the instructor of the ninjutsu 'God and Demon Transformation'. This is an extremely important task. You must teach the 'God and Demon Transformation' to the Jonin and Chunin of the clan by today."
Uchiha Mitsunaga nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I will do my best to complete the mission. But there is one thing I need to trouble Elder Eighth. I brought the Uzumaki clan members back with me, and I don't have time to arrange things for them right now, so please don't let them leave the Uchiha clan territory. That guy Shimura Danzo might cause trouble for them, so we can't give him an opportunity."
Uchiha Yatsuhoku sneered and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on things."
After the meeting, Uchiha Mitsunori went to the courtyard where the Uzumaki clan members were temporarily staying.
A dozen or so red-haired ninjas were sitting together discussing something when they saw him enter, and they all stood up.
"Lord Mitsumi!"
Uchiha Sanfeng raised his hand to gesture for them to sit down, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Uzumaki Chinatsu.
"I have something to tell you. The person who caused your country's destruction and the extermination of your people is Hiruzen Sarutobi. He just announced his abdication after the war, but things won't be that simple."
"The clan head and I are going to the Hidden Mist battlefield and will not be able to protect you for the time being, so you must stay in the Uchiha clan territory and not go out. If you need any supplies, you can ask Uchiha Hachiho, and he will take care of it for you."
Chinatsu Uzumaki clenched her fists, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes: "I understand."
Seeing that the Uzumaki clan members were relatively calm, Uchiha Mitsunori said calmly, "As long as you master the power of the Nine-Tails, you can become one of the strongest in the village. That's why Uzumaki Mito made Uzumaki Kushina the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so that your Uzumaki clan would have someone to rely on. However... she has not yet mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, so her strength is currently limited."
The Uzumaki clan members began to whisper among themselves: "Lady Mito... the power of the Nine-Tails... Kushina!"
Uchiha Mitsumine waved his hand and said, "Quiet down. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are also eyeing this power, which is why Kushina Uzumaki is being monitored by the Anbu. Chika can go to the edge of the clan's territory to see her, but don't get too close. You can tell her the truth, but you must advise her to stay by Minato Namikaze's side; that kid is very strong."
Standing to the side, Uzumaki Megumi asked softly, "What about me?"
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Come with me to the Hidden Mist battlefield. I'll feel very uncomfortable without you by my side."
Chinatsu Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh and said, "Huiyi, you have to take good care of him. All of us are relying on your man now."
Huiyi's face flushed instantly, and she hid behind him.
......
At the Uchiha training ground, more than a thousand Uchiha ninjas stood in neat rows, their eyes fixed intently on the Uchiha Three Peaks.
He turned to face the crowd, his voice booming: "Today, I will teach you... the Divine Demon Transformation... It's a special form I created by incorporating the principles of the Shadow Clone Technique into the Transformation Technique. It features two heads and four arms. Because the two heads are connected, they can easily perform combined ninjutsu!"
"Look closely, this ninjutsu has twelve hand seals, namely: Sheep - Monkey - Pig - Horse - Tiger... Ren."
Uchiha Mitsunaga's hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals. In an instant, his body twisted and deformed, flesh and blood writhed on the right side of his neck, and a new head burst forth! Two thick arms extended from his armpits!
The entire audience was stunned; the two-headed, four-armed form resembled a mythical Asura!
The head on the left spoke: "Next, I will demonstrate to you the power of combined ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! ... Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A 10-meter-long fireball was blown out of the mouth on the right side of the skull.
A gust of wind blew out from the mouth of the other head, and the huge fireball was blown by the wind, and the fire instantly became more intense, like a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws and rushing forward... 30 meters... 60 meters... 72 meters.
The surrounding Uchiha ninjas stared in disbelief: "How can his combination ninjutsu reach such a distance?"
Uchiha Mitsunori explained, "The attack range of ninjutsu used by genin is generally within 10 meters, chunin around 20 meters, jonin between 30-50 meters, and elite jonin over 50 meters. This is the difference in the level of control over ninjutsu. The dual-headed nature of the Divine Demon Transformation doubles the efficiency of your training, which is the key to your rapid growth, so you must practice diligently!"
The Sharingan can copy taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Of the 1524 Uchiha ninjas present, 983 possessed the Sharingan, and 136 of them had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.
For them, learning ninjutsu was much easier than for ordinary ninjas.
In less than three minutes, the training ground began to light up with the glow of chakra.
"I did it!" A Jonin with three tomoe Sharingan shouted first.
The muscles on the right side of his neck twitched, and a new head slowly took shape, with two thick arms extending from under his armpits.
Although the form is still unstable, the essence of the Divine Demon Transformation has been initially grasped.
Following that, the second and third place Uchiha ninjas also succeeded.
A Chunin excitedly flexed his newly acquired arm: "Hahaha! Is this what it feels like to have two heads? It's amazing!"
His right side grinned, "My thinking feels clearer!"
The atmosphere on the training field gradually became more and more enthusiastic. More and more people succeeded, and those who failed continued to try under the guidance of their teammates.
"Ding! The host has observed 1524 ninjas using the Divine Transformation technique through the three-tomoe Sharingan and gained 7085 experience points for this ninjutsu."
"Ding! Divine Transformation! Automatically upgraded to Extraordinary, awakening three heads and six arms!"
