Under a light drizzle, Uchiha Shisui was seen in the distance as soon as he came out. It was clear that he had been waiting for some time.
Uchiha Yoru, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He walked forward, shrugged casually, and said, "What's so important that it requires our genius Shisui to take action?"
The two appeared in the forest. Uchiha Shisui didn't mind and instead smiled, slowly taking out a scroll from his Blade Pouch and handing it over.
"Big Brother Yoru, this is the Ninjutsu and funds granted by the Elder. Meet at the village gate at six tomorrow morning."
After reporting the mission details, Uchiha Yoru sighed and shook his head. He understood the Uchiha Clan's urgency, but unfortunately, this time their efforts were in vain.
After finishing the main topic, Uchiha Shisui's expression turned serious as he said, "Big Brother Yoru, if your matters are settled, at least avoid her for now. Otherwise, it will harm her."
Shisui's meaning was clear. The Uchiha Clan was already in a precarious position, and interacting with other civilian ninjas would cause trouble and even bring harm to the other party.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yoru looked at Shisui with a strange expression and teased, "Shisui, you'll understand when you have a girlfriend."
Shisui was speechless at such a shameless remark. Looking at the man who was only a year older than him, he couldn't understand.
The two returned to the Uchiha Clan like fleas. Konoha, having just experienced the Nine-Tails Incident, was in a state of reconstruction, with all ninjas busy to the point of being frazzled. In contrast, the Uchiha Clan's ninjas were almost all preparing for relocation.
Returning to the temporary residence allocated by the clan, the Uchiha Clan had been affected during the Nine-Tails Incident, especially the Police Force. This was why Konoha used this as an excuse to make the Uchiha Clan relocate.
Opening the scroll, two B-rank Ninjutsu were listed, along with training methods for the Sharingan, manipulation experience, and some precautions. After all, opening the Sharingan was one thing, but it still required training. Just like how different three-tomoe Sharingan users could have varying levels of power.
Seeing the various methods to enhance the Sharingan, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and smiled. Although the System was somewhat rigid, it was undeniably thorough. After exchanging for the One-Tomoe Sharingan, it came with countless techniques and experiences, allowing his body to adapt perfectly and reach the limits of the One-Tomoe Sharingan.
In other words, the System directly provided the peak version, truly living up to the saying, "You get what you pay for." However, when he saw the last A-rank Ninjutsu, his pupils instantly constricted.
"I didn't expect it to be this Ninjutsu."
Looking at the familiar Ninjutsu, Uchiha Yoru sighed and shook his head again. "Of course, the Uchiha Clan is Konoha's undisputed first family. To retain Kakashi's Sharingan, it's not just about his relationship with the Fourth Hokage; it also needs to be a face-saving measure."
It couldn't be that the Uchiha Clan would lower their standards just because of the Fourth Hokage's status. It wasn't enough, so Kakashi had to come up with this Ninjutsu to barely get through.
"No wonder in the original story, the Third Hokage and others didn't stop Kakashi from teaching Sasuke. The reason lies here."
A-rank Ninjutsu Chidori, Kakashi's self-created and famous Ninjutsu, which, when combined with the Sharingan, could be used to its fullest potential. Even in Konoha, lightning-natured chakra was relatively rare, which is why this Ninjutsu had been shelved.
His eyes revealed the One-Tomoe Sharingan as he meticulously memorized all the information on the scroll. Activating the Sharingan wasn't for show, especially since he was alone in the tent. There was no point in showing off.
In the Uchiha Clan, such precious Ninjutsu scrolls naturally had sealing techniques. Only when viewed with the Sharingan would the correct content appear. Ordinary eyes would see something different, with key parts altered. Whoever practiced it would know the consequences, which would be dire.
...
The next morning, a crowd had already gathered outside Konoha's gates. Teams of ninjas assembled and then disappeared like fleas. No, they turned into black shadows and vanished.
"Big Brother Yoru, let's go. We'll discuss the mission on the way."
When the Uchiha clan members appeared, the lower and middle-ranked ninjas passing by didn't react much, but the upper-ranked ninjas clearly had an invisible sense of exclusion.
This time, the number of Uchiha clan members was not small, totaling eight, including him. The obvious team leader was the Uchiha genius, Shisui.
As the team leader, Shisui personally led the way, maintaining a distance from the others. He said solemnly, "Big Brother Yoru, we're heading to the border near the Land of the Sea, where Orochimaru-sama is stationed."
Taking the scroll, Uchiha Yoru squinted and read its contents, then nodded lightly. "I see. This is a signal from the Uchiha, right?"
The Nine-Tails Incident had caused severe damage to Konoha, even leading to the Fourth Hokage's death. The extent of the loss was unimaginable. The border regions began to experience unrest, which was why the Third Hokage could smoothly regain power. Only Hiruzen Sarutobi could stabilize the current situation in the shortest time.
After three days, the Uchiha Clan's attitude had been basically determined: relocation and vigilance. This was an undeniable fact, and the Uchiha Clan had its own response strategy.
They needed to send out signals of goodwill. Similarly, the Hokage's faction also sent out their signals. After all, if the Uchiha Clan was forced to relocate, they needed to regain trust during the current unrest, and the village needed the Uchiha's strength.
They were the first signal the Uchiha Clan sent out, taking on missions at the border. If all the Uchiha elite were confined within the village due to mistrust, it would be a laughable situation, and Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wouldn't sleep well at night.
In this special period, both sides began to show their goodwill. The Uchiha started to dispatch their forces to protect Konoha, both to prove themselves and to regain trust. Similarly, Konoha showed its goodwill, ensuring a mutual benefit.
"Shisui, this mission is to the border. Orochimaru-sama is truly formidable, holding the front line and defending against both the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning and the Mist Village of the Land of Water."
Uchiha Yoru squinted and smiled. Uchiha Shisui's expression was clearly good, probably because the relationship between the clan and the village had at least stopped deteriorating, and the mutual signals of goodwill gave him hope, easing his mind.
Shisui was clearly in a good mood and nodded with a smile at Uchiha Yoru. "Orochimaru-sama is holding the front line, defending against both the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water. We, the Uchiha, are going to support the front line."
Konoha had suffered such a significant loss, with the Fourth Hokage's death. It would be strange if other villages didn't take advantage of the situation. After all, from the original story, it can be inferred that although Konoha didn't experience major wars after the Nine-Tails Incident, local skirmishes and covert probes continued.
In the original story, Shisui had returned from the battlefield against the Mist Village, and the Hyuga Clan incident involving the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning also indicated the ongoing power struggles between nations.
