The Epic-Enhanced Konoha Crush Plan (5)

"Taichi will definitely be interested, but as for Hikari and Shion, I'm not so sure. Let's go ask them first."

Shiraha put away the Invitation Letter and headed to the mountains behind the village, where he had set up a training ground to practice his spells.

After their advancement, Hikari and Taichi spent their time in the training grounds familiarizing themselves with ways to significantly improve their physical abilities, Mental Power, and Magic Power.

Although he wanted to take his three children to Konoha to "show his support," he wouldn't force Hikari and Shion if they didn't want to go. After all, there were a few outstanding newcomers in the Uchiha generation who could fill the gap.

Taichi's lively and active personality, Shiraha couldn't imagine what reason he would have for not going.

This time he will personally lead the team to Konoha. It's been so long since we last met. I wonder if the Third Hokage misses him, and Danzo too.

The Hyuga Branch Family's liberation movement was delayed because of the Gelel Stone Vein.

Last time they went to Konoha, they took away most of the Uchiha Clan Hyuga Branch Family ninjas. It's obviously reasonable, right?

Shiraha just arrived at the training ground on the Back Mountain and hadn't even seen anyone when he heard the sounds of a fierce fight coming from inside.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Feeling the intense energy fluctuations and the scattered radiation field, Shiraha smiled. It seemed that these two kids had been working very hard recently and had adapted to the increase in strength after their advancement.

In the Demon Country, his incarnation, Issei, is instructing Shion, Shion strength is clearly no less than that of the two brats.

Shiraha quietly approached the center of the battle, unnoticed by Taichi and Hikari.

The two were focused on their battle.

Both of them were covered in white scales and were engaged in close- Taijutsu combat. Their simple punches and kicks produced sonic booms in the air, which was quite terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the two began a close-range clash of 0th-Level Spell, followed by a clash of ninjutsu.

Taichi and Hikari had only recently advanced, and in such a short time they could only learn one or two First-Level Spell. As for instant casting, that was impossible. The only spells they could cast without incantation were their Innate Spell and 0th-Level Spell.

His three children all awakened two Innate Spell, one of which was the instant-cast Innate Spell "Demonic Scales," which combined offense and defense.

"Take this ' Acid Arrow '!"

Hikari threw a punch at Taichi at close range, and just as he was about to reach him, he suddenly shouted.

Shiraha was watching from the sidelines, was slightly taken aback. "Acid Arrow" is an advanced version of the 0th-Level Spell "Acid Splash". It is a type of level 1 attack spell with a relatively fast flight speed and very strong attack power.

Even if Taichi has the defense of "Demonic Scales", he would probably suffer a lot if he were hit.

"As expected, Hikari's talent is the best. I didn't expect that, huh?"

Just as Shiraha was marveling at the Wizard Talent of the Hikari Wizard, he suddenly froze.

Just as Taichi dodged, Hikari did not release the "Acid Arrow," but instead his eyes glowed red, and two red rays instantly struck Taichi.

"You're playing tricks."

The scales on Taichi's watch quickly turned grayish-white. Before he could finish speaking, he turned into a stone sculpture, his face still bearing an angry expression.

Seeing Hikari, Mitsuko slowly walked up to Taichi, then drew the Ninja Blade hanging from her waist and held it to Taichi's neck.

Whether it's her Wizard Talent or her talent as a ninja, she is exceptional.

With Chiho and Shisui taking turns instructing him in swordsmanship, he is definitely the strongest of the three children of Shiraha.

"So that's how it is. What a clever and cunning fighting style." Shiraha couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Hikari's fighting style was very similar to his own; he had a real talent for combat.

This is the second Innate Spell that Hikari awakened. It is an extremely powerful curse-type spell called "Petrifying Gaze". It has both physical and mental attack effects. It may be that she awakened the ability contained in the ' Garaga ' cells transplanted into Shiraha's bloodline.

The power of the Innate Spell "Petrifying Gaze" was somewhat beyond Shiraha's expectations. Anyone hit by Hikari's eye light would almost certainly be petrified if they were of the same level.

Shiraha had tested it and found that the Demonic items sealed with a level one defensive spell could not block the petrifying light of the "Petrifying Gaze" at all, so it could only be dodged and could not be withstood.

Because it is Innate Spell, Hikari can cast "Petrifying Gaze" at least a dozen times in a row.

In a level 1 battle, being able to unleash so many powerful offensive First-Level Spell is an absurd thing.

Furthermore, the spell "Petrifying Gaze" requires Mental Power to neutralize its effect.

Last time, Hikari used the "Petrifying Gaze" to petrify Taichi had used "Demonic Scales," for 10 seconds.

In a battle at the level of Formal Wizard (sorcerer), 3 seconds is enough to die several times over, let alone being petrified for 10 seconds.

Click click click.

Something resembling pebbles fell from Taichi's body. Despite his full exertion of Mental Power and Magic Power power, he was only petrified for 8 seconds this time.

"You cheated! That's unfair! Let's do it again!" Taichi said angrily, "We agreed not to use a second Innate Spell."

"I didn't agree to that, and haven't you heard Dad say that all's fair in war?" Hikari raised her chin slightly, a haughty expression on her face. "Besides, even if you used a second Innate Spell, so what?"

Taichi's momentum immediately deflated, because although his second awakened Innate Spell was very strong, it was not for combat, but rather a support-type spell called "Serpent Spirit Sense".

"Serpent Spirit Sense" greatly enhances his all-around perception, but its current auxiliary effect in combat is almost negligible.

"You're still a long way from beating me!" Hikari's expression was full of sarcasm.

"Don't be so smug. If it were Sister Shion, she definitely wouldn't fall for your trick!" Taichi retorted.

Hikari glared at Taichi and scoffed, "Shion- neechan isn't as stupid as you, and her awakened ' Wood Clone Spirit ' isn't afraid of my abilities anyway. But what does that have to do with you?"

I was speechless for Taichi moment, my face turning red with frustration.

'This shouldn't be inherited from me, right?' Shiraha, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, felt a little helpless. After four years of training in the Outer Sea, Hikari had grown up and was no longer as clingy to his father as before. His little darling had completely lost her touch.

Recently, Shiraha has been considering whether he and Chiho should try to have another baby girl.

Thinking of this, Shiraha flashed and appeared beside Hikari and Taichi.

"Dad."

"Dad."

The two children came to Shiraha's side, seemingly already used to Shiraha elusive nature. Only after advancing to the First-Level Bloodline Warlock could they more clearly sense the terrifying bloodline power around Shiraha.

"I saw the battle just now, and you all performed very well. It seems you've adapted to the significant increase in your strength." Shiraha said with a smile, "I came here to ask you something. Konoha is going to Chunin Selection Exam conjunction with Sunagakure. I'm planning to take Shion to participate in the exams. Would you like to go?"

Taichi's face lit up with excitement. "Of course!"

"I'm fine with anything," Hikari said casually.

"Alright, get ready. We'll set off for Konoha in ten days."

Shiraha nodded. He was even looking forward to it now. Three Kage Level fighters were participating in the Chunin Selection Exam. He wondered what kind of expressions those people would have.

This is a perfect opportunity to show the entire Shinobi World the power of Uzushiogakure.

If the Hyuga Branch Family clan also successfully leaves Konoha and joins Uzushiogakure, the Shinobi World's landscape will change drastically in the next few years. The departure of two major clans from Konoha will be a devastating blow to Konoha's strength and reputation.

At that time, the target of fear for other ninja villages will shift from Konoha to Uzushiogakure.

However, with him and Kushina around, they were not afraid at all even if the other ninja villages united, not to mention that Shiraha would not give these ninja villages a chance to unite.

Currently, there is also a Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in the Shinobi World, and Kaguya Otsutsuki is sealed on the moon. These two suspected Fourth-Level Lifeform are even though they do not have the "Star-Level" combat power equivalent to the Wizarding World. Shiraha feels that he should at least reach the peak of level two, or even advance to Third Level, to better deal with them. For now, he should focus on development.

Shiraha wasn't particularly interested in a small world like the Ninja World of Domination, but if he wanted to advance to Fourth-Level or even Fifth-Level in the future, he would need a lot of resources and would inevitably have to Plane Exploration.

Although Wizard and sorcerers are professions where great power is attributed to themselves, the exploration of the unknown is never-ending, so a certain level of scientific and technological ability is required.

Therefore, Shiraha could properly manage the ninja world, turning it into his rear base. To establish a complete advanced industrial system, build high-tech research institutes throughout the Shinobi World, cultivate a strong academic atmosphere, and research the most advanced technologies, he needed a stable and unified environment.

In the current Shinobi World, many countries' citizens are starving and poorly clothed, let alone able to read, write, study, and research.

First, a unified government must be established, placing everyone in a relatively equal country. At the very least, the food and safety needs of the people must be met. In this way, the vast majority of ordinary people without connections will strive to climb the relatively fair and rapid path of advancement in 'science'.

Before long, there will be millions of highly educated people, and various industries will develop rapidly after their influx.

If Shiraha only wants to establish a unified Shinobi World, it is not very difficult for him in terms of military strength. As his strength increases, the difficulty of unifying the Shinobi World will become smaller and smaller.

However, if we achieve ideological unity now, unification by force will not face too much obstacle.

Because there are still many citizens in the middle and upper classes who do not want the country to be unified.

The more turbulent the Shinobi World is, the more they can profit from war.

If the Shinobi World is unified and belongs to one country, the size of the ninja community will inevitably shrink rapidly. Who will buy the huge quantities of medicinal herbs? Which ninja village will consume the mountains of them? And what about the various supporting war resources? These people living in the upper and middle classes are the ones who least want peace.

However, among these people, there are quite a few talented individuals who have received a considerable degree of education. Even if some of them hope for peace in the Shinobi World, they cannot change the mindset of the entire social class. Therefore, they can only choose to integrate into the social class, and they live much better than the vast majority of people anyway.

As for ideals and ambitions, what do they amount to?

The talents among these people are still very valuable to Shiraha, so launching a war that would sweep across the entire Shinobi World would directly make him an enemy of these people. Although Shiraha is not afraid at all, it is very troublesome, after all, he does not want to become a murderous maniac.

This planet is larger than Earth in his first life. The total number of ninjas in the entire Shinobi World is only a few hundred thousand, and even with the permanent population of the major ninja villages, it only amounts to a few million.

However, there are hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the entire Shinobi World, and they were the ones who suffered the most injuries in the Ninja World War.

Shiraha's Innate Spell "Chain of Emotions" can collect the emotions of extraordinary beings, gather a large amount of rich Emotional Power, create a point of mass, and most likely be able to forge ' Emotion Rule '.

If Ninja World War breaks out, negative emotions such as fear, despair, and pain will definitely erupt in large numbers. However, these ordinary people, who make up the largest number, are not actually supernatural beings; they are the ones who experience the most emotions.

Therefore, when the Shinobi World is unified, and everyone has Chakra and can become a ninja, in a safe, relatively equal new country with upward mobility, most people will be filled with hope for life. That is the condensed emotion of "hope", which is the most likely to be able to forge fragments of "Emotion Rule".

Shiraha only had to spend more time, which was the least valuable thing to him at the moment, and the gains he made far outweighed the effort.

"Thinking about it this way, the Eye of the Moon Plan is actually the most suitable method to give everyone obvious Chakra talent."

A common enemy, an enemy that may threaten the Shinobi World for decades, centuries, or even millennia to come, would greatly help in establishing a unified nation.

It seems I still have to do Black Zetsu a favor.

Since Obito was able to come to his senses at the last moment, and Rin is still alive, it doesn't seem difficult to turn him to his side.

A preliminary plan quickly took shape in Shiraha's mind.

Just as Shiraha was pondering, he sensed something amiss in his arms and took out a Communication Scroll.

Bang!

A small, yellowish-brown snake emerged from the smoke and spat out an intelligence scroll thicker than its own body.

Shiraha opened the scroll and was slightly taken aback.

"Orochimaru is indeed going to Konoha. The Konoha Crush Plan is proceeding as scheduled. Might Duy has been taken away, but Jiraiya has returned."

The scroll was delivered by Yakushi Kabuto, who was in the Anbu, and it contained detailed information about the Konoha Crush Plan.

What puzzled Shiraha was that, even if Orochimaru had mastered the "Symbiotic Serpent" Meditation Method and advanced to the first level, it would still be unrealistic for him to deal with so many powerful figures in Konoha.

"This is going to be good!"

Shiraha's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
