Passing Along Intelligence with Slides

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. After all, he isn't our enemy, and we don't have to fight them."

"Besides, the Uchiha are far stronger than you think. As long as we reach Madara Uchiha's level, we can carve out a place for ourselves in this world and become a powerful force."

Uchiha Tamaharu offered some reassurance.

But it was the truth, whether they accepted it or not.

At Tamaharu's words, many people finally relaxed.

A moment ago, many of them had been tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.

"Of course, not every force in the World Government is on par with the Navy."

"The Army and Air Force can't match the Navy's strength. They probably don't have anyone at Kage Level. The intelligence agency might, but it's too secretive for us to know."

"The World Government is the most powerful force in this world. That's all you need to understand."

Uchiha Tamaharu continued.

When they heard that the Army and Air Force couldn't match the Navy, the crowd finally breathed easier.

They'd been afraid that Kage Level fighters were everywhere in this world. How was the Uchiha Clan supposed to survive that?

"The next force I'll explain is one that opposes the World Government. It's called the Revolutionary Army."

"The leader of this force is strong enough to fight the Navy's strongest, but the rest of them can't stand against the Navy. They're still a fairly powerful force."

"Then there's the third force capable of holding its own against the Navy: the Pirates!"

"Pirates are a chaotic collection of fighters, not a unified force."

"But they can still stand against the Navy because among them are the Four Emperors—the four rulers of the sea!"

"They are the Big Mom Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Edward Newgate, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is widely recognized as the strongest man in the world!"

"The captains of the other three Four Emperors' crews are also strong enough to match an Admiral or even a Fleet Admiral."

"There are also the Shichibukai, a group of pirates recruited by the World Government to oppose the Four Emperors. But even combined, their strength can at most match one Four Emperors crew."

"..."

Uchiha Tamaharu continued explaining.

The people below listened intently. They were curious about this unfamiliar world, and amazed by it, too. They hadn't imagined there could be so many powerful figures here.

"What I'm about to explain is important: the abilities people in this world use to fight."

"I'll use an illusion—something like a slide presentation—to give you the details. Just explaining it would be too complicated."

Uchiha Tamaharu had almost said "slides."

"Don't resist. I can use an illusion on a hundred people at most at once. Once you've received the information, pass it on to the other clan members."

Uchiha Tamaharu addressed them.

Everyone nodded quickly. Some had activated their Sharingan to see more clearly, but they hastily shut them off as well.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

Uchiha Tamaharu cast an illusion on the people in the front row to transmit the information. His Chakra drained rapidly, and his face soon turned pale.

Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui, Itachi, and several squad leaders—the strongest among them—were the first to wake. Shock showed on their faces.

The others who finished receiving the information reacted the same way.

"Hurry up. Use the illusion on me."

"Don't just stand there! I know, all right?"

"Shihuo, what are you doing?"

Many people in the back began urging them on.

Only then did those who had received the information begin passing it along.

Shisui and Itachi were the most diligent.

About ten minutes later, all several hundred people had received the information, and their expressions varied.

"The Navy's Rokushiki are manageable for us, including swordsmanship and the like. As long as our bodies can react, we can try to counter them by observing them with the Sharingan."

"But Devil Fruit abilities are the biggest difference between this world and the Shinobi World. Aside from the five types of Release Technique that resemble Logia Devil Fruits, there are also very unusual abilities, much like Kekkei Genkai—for example, Paramecia and Zoan."

"Zoan abilities enhance the body. A small number of Mythical Zoan users have special abilities, while Paramecia abilities are the most troublesome because they're difficult to assess."

"But those enemies face the same problem when dealing with us. Ninja have all sorts of fighting styles. Until they figure out our abilities, it won't be easy for them to take us out quickly."

"So, when you encounter a Devil Fruit User, either kill them with a single strike, using a ninja's methods to finish them as quickly as possible—"

"Or, if your first strike misses, retreat immediately. Don't waste time fighting them. If you can escape into the sea, they'll be helpless. Ninety-nine percent of Devil Fruit Users can't overcome their two weaknesses: seawater and Seastone."

Uchiha Tamaharu explained.

The information had been included in the illusion, but Tamaharu was worried they might be intimidated by Devil Fruit abilities and overlook these points.

After all, they could run into ninja with Kekkei Genkai anywhere. Those were the most troublesome opponents.

"Besides, there's no need to lose heart. The Uchiha in this world are only just getting started. We can gain these kinds of powers, too."

"Busoshoku Haki is what people in this world use to deal with Devil Fruit Users!"

"Oh, and illusions don't work on people from this world because they don't have Chakra in their bodies. To affect them, we'll have to use mental energy. The clan will prioritize developing that."

"Also, starting now, clan Ninjutsu will no longer be restricted by merit points. Anyone who's strong enough can learn them."

Uchiha Tamaharu concluded.

He wanted to give everyone some confidence, and everything he'd said was true.

As long as they learned Haki, dealing with Devil Fruit Users wouldn't be so troublesome.

Unless there was a genuine gap in strength.

According to the power scale of this world, even fighters below Vice Admiral level had powerful bodies, but a slash to the neck could still kill them.

"Tomorrow, we'll organize a group of eighty people to go out to sea."

"Our main tasks will be to obtain funds, buy supplies, translate the writing, and gather intelligence."

"Anyone who wants to join should sign up with your squad leader. We'll select the group tonight, and they'll set out tomorrow at noon."

Uchiha Tamaharu added.

Many people below were tempted. They'd been confined to Konoha before, unable to pursue many of their ideas.

But now that they had a chance to grow stronger, they didn't want to miss it.

The sooner they encountered this new world, the more likely they were to be among the first to grow stronger!
