Ninja World Power Tiers

"Heh heh." Hyuga Ningyuan, walking along the road, suddenly let out a muffled laugh.

"What's wrong with you?" Hyuga Mie, holding his hand, asked curiously.

"Oh, I just thought about making lots of friends at the Ninja Academy, got a bit excited!" Hyuga Ningyuan said casually.

In truth, his earlier calm had faded, and the thrill of being a reincarnator was surging up.

He still couldn't believe he had actually transmigrated.

"Cough, cough, calm down, calm down. Smiling like that, you look like a donut!" To be fair, transmigrating to Konoha was way better than taking an illegal route.

Illegal routes meant getting shot at, facing discrimination, maybe even being stuffed into a barrel or starving to death.

As for Konoha, while it had its own big problems, just the existence of Chakra alone made up for everything.

Especially since Chakra covered Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Senjutsu, Genjutsu, and a whole range of abilities—basically a fusion of Daoist Arts, Wuxia, and Xianxia. One transmigration fulfilling multiple fantasies, absolutely awesome!

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

That's right, I'm talking about Tsunade. As the saying goes, if you don't marry the Fifth Hokage in this life, you've wasted your time traveling through worlds. This time around, I've got a chance, I've got to give it my all!

Speaking of which, marrying Tsunade was also a way to break the Caged Bird Seal. Not only was Tsunade herself a master of Sealing Jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu, she could probably figure out this seal.

Just say "My wife is Tsunade," and the Main Family would come running to remove it themselves, right?

"Whoosh!" Lost in his thoughts, Hyuga Ningyuan suddenly felt a tug at the back of his head. He was pulled to the roadside, and a black shadow shot past the wall beside him.

Then, with two more "whoosh" sounds, two young men in black outfits with ping-pong paddles on their backs followed after it.

"Uchiha," Hyuga Ningyuan blinked. So that clan was still around, huh.

"Those are people from the Uchiha Clan!" Noticing Hyuga Ningyuan's gaze, Hyuga Mie warned him: "You'll probably run into Uchiha kids at school too. If they're geniuses, it's best to give way. If they're not, well..."

Right, when did the Uchiha ever produce mediocrities?

She didn't say more, but Hyuga Ningyuan knew that the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan were subtly competing for the position of Konoha's top clan, so it was best not to lose to an Uchiha in a match.

This was something the Hyuga Clan had hinted to Hyuga Ningyuan, and Hyuga Mie naturally knew about it too. But when it came to her own son, she didn't want to put that much pressure on him.

And frankly, whether in school sparring or battlefield achievements, the Hyuga Clan was always outclassed by the Uchiha. The Uchiha had a reputation for one-on-one kills; the Hyuga Clan didn't.

What did that mean?

It meant Konoha was playing favorites.

After all, the strategic value of the Byakugan should have outweighed the Uchiha's combat power. Without the Uchiha, Konoha might not have lost many more battles, but without the Hyuga, the village would probably have been overrun long ago!

Yet when it came to evaluating achievements, they only looked at kills, not reconnaissance.

So no matter how much the Uchiha were discriminated against, their treatment in Konoha was still above the Hyuga Clan's!

"Mie!"

"Mrs. Shinrei!"

The appearance of the two Uchiha didn't slow them down. Soon, they were nearing the Ninja Academy.

Mie started running into acquaintances.

"Is this your child? How adorable!" Mrs. Shinrei looked about the same age as Mie, wearing a floral dress with big waves in her hair, giving off a Hong Kong-style vibe.

Behind her stood a chubby little kid under a meter tall, staring curiously at Hyuga Ningyuan—mostly at his eyes. When he noticed Ningyuan looking back, he quickly turned his head away.

"Not at all, Shinta-kun is adorable too!" Hyuga Mie smiled and nudged Hyuga Ningyuan: "This Auntie Shinrei is a good friend of mine, so you need to get along well with Shinta."

Kids' friends were usually assigned by adults, though Hyuga Ningyuan wasn't really interested in making friends.

But since the two adults were already chatting, he might as well talk to this little chubster. Who knows, maybe he could even unlock a conversation skill.

"Hi, I'm Hyuga Ningyuan. Just call me Ningyuan!" Ningyuan extended his hand with a smile.

"Oh, I'm Shinrei Shinta. Just call me Shinta!" The little chubster reached out too, and they shook hands.

"Is your family a ninja clan?" Ningyuan asked. He didn't remember any Shinrei ninja clan in Konoha, but the manga couldn't cover every detail of the village. Maybe Shinrei was just a clan that never appeared.

"No!" Shinta shook his head immediately. He wouldn't dare pretend to be a ninja clan: "My family were ceremonial officials in the Land of Fire before we joined Konoha. My father is the first ninja in our family!"

"Oh, I see!" Ningyuan nodded. He'd wanted to ask if his dad was a Chunin or a Genin, but figured it might be some kind of secret, so he dropped it.

Chatting about this and that, the two quickly got familiar.

Konoha's urban area in the games was just a tiny patch, maybe smaller than a villa.

The anime's urban area wasn't big either. Some YouTuber calculated it to be only 700 meters in diameter, which was ridiculous. With a ninja's hearing and speed, if it were really just 700 meters across, the reinforcements during the Nine-Tails Incident wouldn't have been that slow.

According to official data, Konoha's main urban area was 40 million square meters, or 40 square kilometers. That was about the size of a county-level city's downtown.

If it were a modern city, high-rise housing could easily hold 800,000 people.

But Konoha was mostly single-story buildings, so the population couldn't be that high—probably around 150,000 to 200,000.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Five Great Nations gathered 100,000 shinobi. Based on population, Konoha, being the largest, should have contributed the most troops. Twenty-five thousand wouldn't be unreasonable.

Pulling 25,000 soldiers out of 200,000 people—that data seemed solid.

That was the Konoha in the numbers, and from what Hyuga Ningyuan had observed along the way, the official data was fairly accurate. He didn't know the exact population, but the area was definitely 40 million square meters.

That also explained why the Uchiha Clan was so resentful. They hadn't moved just a few hundred meters—they'd moved several kilometers, straight from the city center to the suburbs!

The Hokage of Konoha was never just a simple village chief—it was a title that carried the weight of a county mayor's responsibilities!

Having discovered the sheer scale of Konoha, Ningyuan, who had previously been indifferent to the position of Hokage, found himself wavering.

Being a village chief was indeed uninteresting, but if it was more like a city mayor, maybe it wasn't something to dismiss outright?

And besides—

Ningyuan then thought of Pain, who had wiped out Konoha with a single Super Tensei. If Konoha was this vast, then what Pain destroyed wasn't just some small hamlet. That one Super Tensei had a range of 40 million square meters, a diameter of 7,000 meters?

That was absurd. For comparison, the blast radius of the Little Boy Atomic Bomb was only 2 kilometers in diameter, with infrared effects reaching just 7 kilometers.

To destroy Konoha would require 13 Little Boys. In other words, that single Super Tensei from Pain packed the power of 13 Little Boy Atomic Bombs!

No wonder he called himself a god—what difference was there between that and divinity?

And Pain wasn't even at the peak of the ninja world yet. This was only Super Kage level. Above him were Six Paths Madara, the Sage of Six Paths, and Otsutsuki Kaguya!

The combat power scale of the ninja world was a bit high!

Hyuga Ningyuan clenched his fists, the corners of his mouth already harder to suppress than an AK-47.

After all, he had come to this world too—which meant this level of power was something he had a chance to achieve!

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