Power Levels of the Ninja World

"Hehe." Hyuga Ningyuan suddenly let out a muffled laugh as he walked down the road.

"What's gotten into you?" Hyuga Mie asked curiously, holding his hand.

"Oh, I was just happy thinking about how I could make lots of friends at the Ninja Academy!" Hyuga Ningyuan replied casually.

The calm from earlier had faded, and the excitement of having transmigrated came rushing back.

He still could not believe that he had really transmigrated.

"Ahem, calm down, calm down. You're grinning like an idiot, like a donut!" Honestly, transmigrating to Konoha was far better than crossing the border.

Crossing the border meant getting shot at and discriminated against. He might even get stuffed into a puff pastry, or starve to death.

Konoha had plenty of problems too, but Chakra alone was enough to overshadow all of them.

Especially since Chakra encompassed Ninjustu, Taijutsu, Sage Art, Genjutsu, and all sorts of other abilities. It was like Daoist Arts, Wuxia, and Xianxia combined into one. One transmigration fulfilled so many fantasies—it was simply incredible!

Besides, Konoha had plenty of beautiful single women with great figures.

That was right, he meant Tsunade. As the saying went, if one never married the Fifth Hokage, traveling the world would still be in vain. Since he had the chance in this life, he definitely had to work hard!

Come to think of it, marrying Tsunade was also a way to remove the Caged Bird Seal. Leaving aside the fact that Tsunade herself was proficient in Sealing Jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu, she would most likely be able to figure out that mark.

As long as he said, "My wife is Tsunade," would the Main Family not come running over to remove it for him?

"Whoosh!" Just as his thoughts ran wild, Hyuga Ningyuan suddenly felt a tug at the back of his head. He was pulled to the roadside, and then a black shadow darted over the wall beside them.

Then came two more whooshes as two young men dressed in black, with ping-pong paddles strapped to their backs, followed after it.

"Uchiha?" Hyuga Ningyuan blinked. So that clan still existed at this point?

"Those are members of the Uchiha Clan!" Noticing Hyuga Ningyuan's gaze, Hyuga Mie reminded him, "You'll probably meet children from the Uchiha Clan at school too. If they're geniuses, it's best to give way a little. If they aren't, well..."

Right. How could the Uchiha produce mediocrities?

She did not say more, but Hyuga Ningyuan understood. The Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan were quietly competing for the position of Konoha's number one clan, so it was best not to lose to an Uchiha in a match.

The Hyuga Clan had told Hyuga Ningyuan this. Hyuga Mie naturally knew as well, but since it concerned her son, she did not want him to bear so much pressure.

And frankly speaking, whether in school sparring matches or in battlefield achievements, the Hyuga Clan had always been suppressed by the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha had the title of one-on-one guaranteed kill, while the Hyuga Clan had no such reputation.

What did that mean?

It meant Konoha was playing favorites.

After all, the strategic value of the Byakugan should have exceeded the Uchiha Clan's combat power no matter how one looked at it. Without the Uchiha Clan, Konoha might not have won that many fewer battles, but without the Hyuga, Konoha would probably have been wiped out long ago!

Yet when achievements were evaluated, they only looked at kills, not reconnaissance.

So despite how much the Uchiha were discriminated against, their treatment in Konoha was actually better than that of the Hyuga Clan!

"Mie!"

"Mrs. Shinrei!"

The appearance of the two Uchiha did not affect their progress. Before long, the two had reached the vicinity of the Ninja Academy.

Mie began running into acquaintances as well.

"Is this your child? He's really adorable!" Mrs. Shinrei looked about the same age as Mie. She wore a floral dress and had large wavy curls, giving her a distinctly Hong Kong-style look.

Behind her stood a chubby little radish of a boy, not even a meter tall. He stared curiously at Hyuga Ningyuan, mainly at his eyes. When he noticed Ningyuan looking back, he immediately turned his head away.

"Not at all, Shinta-kun is adorable too!" Hyuga Mie smiled and gently pushed Hyuga Ningyuan. "Auntie Shinrei is a good friend of mine, so you must get along well with Shinta."

Children's friends were basically assigned by adults, though Hyuga Ningyuan did not particularly want to make friends.

Still, the two adults had already started chatting. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well talk to this little chubby boy. Maybe he could even unlock a conversation skill.

"Hello, my name is Hyuga Ningyuan. You can just call me Ningyuan!" Ningyuan held out his hand with a smile.

"Oh, I'm Shinrei Shinta. Then you can call me Shinta!" The little chubby boy held out his hand too, and they shook.

"Is your Shinrei family a Ninja Clan?" Ningyuan asked. He did not remember there being a Ninja Clan named Shinrei in Konoha, but the manga could not possibly depict every aspect of Konoha. Perhaps Shinrei was simply a clan that had never appeared.

"No!" Shinta immediately shook his head. He did not dare pretend to be from a Ninja Clan. "My family used to be ceremonial officials in the Land of Fire, and we only joined Konoha later. My father is the first ninja in our family!"

"Oh, I see!" Ningyuan understood. He had actually wanted to ask whether Shinta's father was a Genin or Chunin, but then he considered that it might involve some secret, so he let it go.

As they chatted about this and that along the way, the two quickly became familiar with each other.

In the games, Konoha's urban area was only a tiny patch, perhaps not even as large as a villa.

The urban area in the anime was not large either. Some content creator had calculated its diameter at only seven hundred meters, which was rather absurd. Given ninja hearing and speed, support could not possibly have been so slow during the Nine-Tails Incident if it were only seven hundred meters across.

According to official data, Konoha's main urban area covered forty million square meters, or forty square kilometers. That was roughly the size of the central urban area of a county-level city.

If it were a modern city, high-rise housing could easily accommodate eight hundred thousand people.

However, Konoha was mainly made up of single-story homes, so its population clearly could not be that high. Still, it should have had somewhere around one hundred fifty thousand to two hundred thousand people.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Five Great Nations had gathered a hundred thousand ninja for the Allied Shinobi Forces. Based on population, Konoha had the most people and should therefore have sent the most troops. Twenty-five thousand would not have been excessive.

Pulling twenty-five thousand soldiers from a population of two hundred thousand was indeed a very plausible figure.

That was Konoha according to the data, and judging from Hyuga Ningyuan's observations along the way, the official figures seemed fairly reliable. He did not know about the population, but the area was definitely forty million square meters.

That also explained why the Uchiha Clan harbored such resentment. They had not merely moved a few hundred meters—they had moved several kilometers, straight from the city center to the outskirts!

Konoha's leader was definitely not just a village chief. He bore the title of village chief while doing the job of a county magistrate!

After realizing Konoha's scale, Ningyuan, who had not cared much about the Hokage Position before, suddenly began to waver.

Being a village chief was indeed not very interesting, but if it were more like being a mayor, perhaps it was not impossible to consider?

And then...

Ningyuan thought again of Pain, who had wiped out Konoha with a single Super Shinra Tensei. If Konoha was this large, then Pain had not destroyed some tiny settlement. That Super Shinra Tensei had affected an area of forty million square meters, with a diameter of seven thousand meters?

That was a little outrageous. The Little Boy Atomic Bomb had a destructive radius of only two kilometers, while its infrared radiation range had only reached seven kilometers.

Destroying Konoha would require thirteen Little Boy Atomic Bombs. In other words, Pain's single Super Shinra Tensei was equivalent in power to thirteen Little Boy Atomic Bombs!

No wonder he called himself a god. What difference was there between him and one?

And Pain was not even at the peak of the ninja world. He was only Super Kage. Above him were Six Paths Madara, the Sage of Six Paths, and Otsutsuki Kaguya!

The ninja world's power level was a little high!

Hyuga Ningyuan clenched his fist, and the corner of his mouth became harder to suppress than an AK.

After all, he had come to this world too. That meant he had a chance of reaching that level of power as well!

"When the time comes, I'll definitely design a landing pose even cooler than Azu's!"
