Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 35

"Do you think I can't kill you just because we're in Sunagakure?"

At this moment, Pakura felt a chilling murderous intent radiating from Genya.

She believed that the youth before her would do exactly as he said.

"Since I saved you, shouldn't you pay me some interest?" Gazing at Pakura, Genya suddenly said slowly.

Pakura was stunned. She looked at Genya with a strange expression, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"You're so young, I'm afraid you're all talk and no action..."

"That's not what I meant!" Genya retorted in a rage. "I'm asking if you have any valuable ninjutsu on you!"

Pakura let out an "oh," then pondered for a moment before replying with a bitter smile, "I don't..."

Genya rolled his eyes, thinking to himself.

Pakura, you really are broke!

Soon.

The merchant ship docked.

Genya and Pakura said their goodbyes.

Before parting.

Pakura planted a "muah" on Genya's cheek and said with a beaming smile.

"Master, thank you for saving me. I won't return evil for good..."

After saying that.

Pakura waved goodbye.

She was returning to Sunagakure.

The scene of Genya saving Pakura had been deeply etched into her mind.

After all, when she had no one to rely on and was on the verge of death, it was Genya who stood before her and saved her without a second thought.

Even if his motives weren't exactly pure...

After Pakura left.

Genya also headed in the direction of the Hidden Leaf Village.

In truth, Genya had a purpose in risking his life to save Pakura: he wanted her to be of use to him.

A Jonin possessing a Kekkei Genkai was of extremely high value.

Moreover, Pakura was a ninja willing to sacrifice everything for her village, which proved her character was reliable and trustworthy.

It was highly probable that she would not betray Genya.

Genya was recruiting these powerful ninjas now in the hope that one day, when war broke out with the Hidden Leaf, the Uchiha would have the confidence and strength to deal with it all.

The Uchiha can choose not to do anything that harms the village.

However, the Hidden Leaf must not harm the Uchiha either!

Otherwise, the Uchiha would fight you to the bitter end!

No one wanted war to happen.

But if it came to that point.

The Uchiha would also do everything in their power to protect themselves.

At the same time, Genya had gained a great deal from this trip.

First, he had upgraded his Sage Body to Level 3, significantly increasing his physical strength and chakra reserves.

Second, he had acquired the Mystical Palm Technique, an A-rank medical ninjutsu, making him a medical ninja.

Third, he had subdued the Scorch Release ninja from Sunagakure, Pakura!

After more than a day.

Genya finally returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Walking along the Japanese-style streets.

Genya noticed that there seemed to be more people with different skin tones around.

Looking closely.

They were all ninjas from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning!

Kumogakure was one of the most powerful villages at present.

Its strength was second only to the Hidden Leaf.

Located among the peaks of the Land of Lightning.

The people in the village were quite distinctive.

The men had dark skin and were robust and fierce.

The women had fair skin and hot, shapely figures.

Regardless of gender, they all possessed exotic features and fiery temperaments, while also being highly skilled in Lightning Release and taijutsu.

"Kumogakure ninjas in Konoha so soon?" Uchiha Genya rubbed his chin, a look of contemplation appearing on his face.

The year is Konoha 53.

Kumogakure has sent a delegation to visit Konoha.

On the surface, it is to sign a peace treaty with Konoha.

In reality, it is to steal the Byakugan bloodline.

As far as the current timeline goes.

It is just about this point in time.

"Konoha pits Hyuga Hiashi against them, the Hyuga elders pit Hyuga Hiashi against Hyuga Hizashi—it's an endless cycle of schemes," Uchiha Genya shook his head.

It was clearly Kumogakure that wanted to steal the Byakugan and kidnap Hinata Hyuga, yet for the sake of so-called village peace, Sarutobi Hiruzen ended up sacrificing Hizashi Hyuga. It was utterly ridiculous.

The fault clearly lay with Kumogakure.

So why should the price for their mistake be paid by the Konoha side?

It was simply outrageous.

At the same time, Uchiha Genya fell into deep thought.

What exactly did Sarutobi Hiruzen rely on to become the Hokage of Konoha?

Could it be his ability to wield a thick, massive Ruyi Staff with such ease?

However, although they were both bloodline clans of Konoha, the relationship between the Hyuga and the Uchiha was not friendly. As long as it didn't involve him, Uchiha Genya wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

If it doesn't concern you.

Stay out of it.

Let them fight like dogs and tear each other apart.

Just as Uchiha Genya was distracted, a booming voice came from behind him.

"Uchiha Genya, come and accept the iron fist of justice from the future Hokage!"

A surging gust of wind from a punch struck out.

Uchiha Genya tapped the ground, his body dodging slightly.

He saw a little fatty lunge forward, only to crash heavily onto the ground in an unsightly "face-plant" position.

A familiar voice.

A chuunibyou line.

Without needing to think, he knew it was Sarutobi Taro.

"Genya, long time no see!"

Nami exclaimed, quickly hurrying to Uchiha Genya's side.

A blush flashed across her delicate face.

Her fair, smooth little hand gripped Uchiha Genya's arm tightly.

Uchiha Genya had been away on leave for a long time, and Nami had missed him dearly.

She had intended to try going out to see if she might run into him.

She never expected to actually meet him on the street...

Uchiha Genya patted Nami's small hand and spoke righteously.

"Nami, although we are good friends, friends must maintain a proper distance, especially between boys and girls. You shouldn't do this in the future!"

"Let go of my arm!"

I just haven't seen you in a long time, I was just excited... Nami nodded gently, her face flushed, thinking to herself: Genya really is a man of principle.

Uchiha Genya then walked over to Sarutobi Taro and threw an arm around his shoulder, a gesture that left Nami stunned.

Didn't you just say you wanted to keep your distance from friends?

Then why are you hugging classmate Taro right now?

Nami, I don't understand...

Uchiha Genya ignored Nami's reaction and spoke to Sarutobi Taro with a solemn expression.

"Classmate Taro, do you know what the most important quality for becoming Hokage is?"

The sudden question left Sarutobi Taro bewildered, and he followed Uchiha Genya's lead, asking: "What is it?"

Uchiha Genya answered firmly: "It is knowing how to sacrifice oneself!"

"The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, for the sake of the village, did not hesitate to fight to the death against the village traitor, Uchiha Madara!"

"Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, for the sake of his teammates, did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to hold off Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and the main force of Kumogakure."

"Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to seal the Nine-Tails, creating peace for the village!"

"Since your goal is to become Hokage, shouldn't you learn the meaning of sacrifice?"

Genya stared directly into the eyes of Sarutobi Taro, posing a soul-searching question!

"Yes!" The words set Sarutobi Taro's blood boiling with fervor!

"Good, then treat me to Ichiraku Ramen; I'm starving." Having spent the last few days outside eating nothing but dry rations or whatever wild game he could catch, Genya was about to throw up from the monotony.

"Alright!" Sarutobi Taro agreed decisively.

He believed that if he were to become Hokage, the spirit of sacrifice he understood in his youth would surely endure and remain timeless.

Sarutobi Taro suddenly made a bitter face and said, "Genya, can you eat a little less?"

The last time he treated Genya to Ichiraku Ramen, the latter had eaten twelve bowls in total; his appetite was truly massive, and Sarutobi Taro's pocket money simply couldn't handle it.

Although two years had passed and his allowance had increased, it still couldn't keep up with two big eaters like Genya and Nami.

Genya patted him on the shoulder and said, "Taro, you need to broaden your perspective!"

Sarutobi Taro said aggrievedly, "I can't broaden it..."

"Just think about how meaningful it will be for your name to go down in history once you become Hokage."

"Genya, eat whatever you want today, I've got you covered!" Sarutobi Taro waved his hand grandly, looking quite generous.

The three of them set off.

They headed toward the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

Genya wore a smile on his face.

Nami looked at Genya with a strange expression from time to time, very curious about how much credibility there was in his talk of "keeping distance."
