Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　But Ye Chen is currently in Konoha, so there's no way he could go there! As for being fully equipped with weights and continuing to do simple squats and punches, it would be useless for Ye Chen.

　The kind of weight that Li was carrying in the original story wouldn't have much effect even if he were given ten times that amount.

　Furthermore, regarding the weight, Ye Chen could easily use the Gravity Fruit to activate a 10x or 20x 20x gravity amplification for himself.

　But at this point, Ye Chen is focusing more on developing the body's inherent potential! Whether it's the Immortal Body or cell activation, they ultimately lead to the same goal! "If we're talking about using Lightning Release to develop the physical body, then Cloud Village is the strongest in this area."

　However, Lightning Release is a closely guarded secret of the Hidden Cloud Village, so there's really no way to pass it down to me.

　Over the years, apart from cell activation, the only thing I've focused on is the Hatake sword technique.

　Sakumo Hatake said

　He didn't deceive Ye Chen; his mastery of Lightning Release techniques in Konoha was absolutely top-notch! But compared to the Raikage's lineage, it was still somewhat lacking.

　He doesn't have any special bloodline limit; it's already extremely difficult for an ordinary ninja to grow to the Kage level.

　Sakumo Hatake was very strong, but he still had his limits; his innate bloodline constitution restricted him.

　Therefore, after his chakra reserves and physical strength reached a certain level, Hatake Sakumo devoted himself to swordsmanship.

　Ten years of honing his skills, and with that single strike, the world was shaken, reaching an unimaginable level! This is also the origin of the name "White Fang of Konoha"! "Night Lord, if you were to develop your physical body..."

　"How about I teach you the Eight Gates Formation?"

　Matt Day said

　Konoha didn't stipulate that he couldn't pass on the Eight Gates Formation. Besides, the Eight Gates Formation had been passed down through his family for generations, so it was entirely up to him to decide who to pass it on to.

　"I've also considered the Eight Gates Formation, but the side effects are too great; it's not suitable for me."

　Ye Chen shook his head, declining Dai's offer.

　"Dai, your Eight Gates Formation is powerful..."

　However, opening even one door requires extremely high internal energy expenditure and physical strain.

　"You can't fight continuously, so you must be careful with your actions."

　Sakumo Hatake said

　"Haha, I know! But isn't youth meant to be blossomed?"

　Might Guy grinned, seemingly unconcerned about the side effects of the Eight Gates.

　If he cared, he wouldn't have persisted in practicing the Eight Gates Formation for decades.

　"There's one more thing, Ye Chen."

　The day after tomorrow, all the high-ranking officials of Konoha will gather at the Konoha Building for a meeting to summarize the events of the Rain Country battlefield.

　This was originally supposed to start a long time ago, but because you haven't returned, it's been postponed for now. Let's go together the day after tomorrow."

　Sakumo Hatake said

　"I'll go as well"

　(2/3)

　Ye Chen was puzzled. This was a high-level meeting; was he...? "The Third Hokage personally conveyed this to me; don't overthink it."

　Sakumo Hatake said

Chapter 305 Danzo and Tsunade developed a deep hatred for each other.

　This content was first published here (second update).

　The Konoha high-level meeting, not an elders' meeting, could be considered a meeting of Konoha Jonin.

　Basically, all elite Jonin have the right to participate, although there aren't many elite Jonin in Konoha.

　Elite Jonin represent the highest level of power in a village. Since there's no concept of a "quasi-Kage" in this world, some elite Jonin possess the strength of a Quasi-Kage or even a Kage-level ninja! To some extent, Quasi-Kage also fall within the elite Jonin category. Most of them are users of special bloodline abilities or other special talents that enhance their combat power.

　Just like the Hyuga clan, even ordinary Jonin of the Uchiha clan possess strength comparable to elite Jonin.

　After all, the amplification abilities of both the Byakugan and the Sharingan increase exponentially.

　At this stage, there are not many people from Konoha who can attend this meeting.

　Ye Chen is certainly qualified; he rose to fame in the Second Shinobi World War, and everyone knows him.

　Also included are the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Sakumo Hatake of Konoha, the newly promoted Jonin Minato Namikaze, the head of the Hyuga clan, and the head of the Uchiha clan.

　In addition, representatives from the twelve main families in the original work all sent representatives to participate in this meeting to varying degrees.

　At the foot of the Hokage Building, Yoruichi and Sakumo Hatake stood side by side.

　One after another, ninjas entered the Hokage Building, but Ye Chen wasn't very familiar with them.

　Their identities were only guessed from their clothing and physical features.

　For example, the Nara clan, the Akimichi clan, and the Yuhi family all recognized Hatake Sakumo and nodded in acknowledgment, similarly guessing Yoru's identity.

　It's no wonder they didn't recognize Ye Chen. Ye Chen was an orphan who lived alone. He graduated from the Ninja Academy in a year and entered the Anbu for an internship. Not long after, he was promoted and joined the Land of Rain. He spent most of his time away from Konoha Village.

　"This meeting mainly concerns the aftermath of the battle in the Land of Rain. Ye Chen, some things you should just listen to and don't need to take to heart."

　Sakumo Hatake said

　Political maneuvering is undoubtedly fraught with intrigue and is generally disliked. He understood Ye Chen's personality, so he decided to mention it beforehand.

　"I know, Captain."

　Ye Chen replied softly, indicating that he understood.

　After saying that, the two headed to the Hokage Building together.

　The high-level meeting room had a long round table, around which sat a large number of Konoha ninja, mostly elite Jonin, including Tsunade and Orochimaru.

　Minato Namikaze sat at the very back of the table. Each seat had an ID number, and everyone had to sit in their assigned seat, much like a boring weekly office meeting in modern times.

　From afar, I could see the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting in the very center, with that cunning Danzo right next to him. Beside them were some unfamiliar ninjas, both men and women, and they were quite old.

　Through the identification tags, Ye Chen also got to know these people.

　The middle-aged woman beside Danzo was Koharu Utatane, followed by Homura Mitokado and Torifu Akimichi! They were all members of the Second Hokage's guard, Tobirama Senju, and his students, deeply influenced by his ideology. Danzo, in particular, inherited the Second Hokage's extreme tendencies, resorting to any means necessary, his hands stained with blood.

　Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't appear much in the original story; they were basically background extras... because Danzo held most of the power.

　However, neither of them are ordinary characters, and Ye Cun also possesses considerable strength.

　Danzo didn't want to offend them easily, as he needed these two to secure his position in some ways. After Hiruzen became Hokage, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu took over as the village's...

　(1/3)

　The high-level advisors, responsible for making decisions on major village affairs, and the organization managing Konoha's political affairs.

　Furthermore, both Mitokado Ero and Utatane Koharu are adept at calm analysis.

　They are very experienced, and their standard for judging things is whether they benefit the village. They will explore various strategies and choose the best method.

　nbs

　Their words would guide the village's actions, and even the Third Hokage would seriously consider them.

　As for the head of the Akimichi clan...

　He seems to have even less screen time than these two. Although he belongs to the Hokage's faction, he wasn't given much responsibility by the Hokage.

　A quick glance was enough to know the identities of most people, or at least form a basic impression.

　However, sitting in the middle to back of Danzo's row was... the middle-aged man with the fan emblem, Uchiha Shunzan.

　He's also the current head of the Uchiha clan! Thinking of the Uchiha clan, a sinister and cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes! Although he had dealt with everyone related to the Uchiha in that incident, things were different now. If the Uchiha clan didn't know what was good for them, he wouldn't mind causing a huge uproar and making their lives a living hell.

　While Ye Chen was sizing up these people, they were also sizing him up! Especially since Ye Chen was sitting in the "Leaf Rakshasa"...

　When they saw the…reserved spot, almost everyone's pupils contracted, and their expressions varied.

　No one expected that the Leaf Village Rakshasa Master was so young! Although the rumors had never stopped, seeing him in person was a completely different experience.

　Danzo, in particular, had a grim expression! Yoruichi's position was roughly in the center, perfectly balanced, with Tsunade on his left and Sakumo Hatake on his right! Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's composed expression, it was clear that the old man had deliberately arranged it.

　"We meet again, Night Lord."

　Orochimaru's seemingly unsmiling telepathic transmission

　"Um"

　Ye Chen nodded, which was considered a greeting.

　"Do you have time to discuss philosophy together?"

　Orochimaru continued to send an invitation via telepathy.

　"Can"

　Ye Chen nodded

　Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was overjoyed and extremely happy.

　It's so easy to talk to smart people; there aren't so many complicated details.

　"Ye Chen!"

　He greeted everyone in a very familiar and easygoing manner.

　Minato Namikaze nodded rather reservedly in the distance. This was a high-level meeting, and he was only qualified to attend as an observer due to special circumstances; he dared not be as casual as Jiraiya.
