Full-Scale Operation

After resting properly for a few days, Uchiha Sou began his rehabilitation exercises.

Although he really wanted to take this opportunity to live a life of neglecting sleep and food, just to treat it as a vacation.

His life behind enemy lines for the past six months couldn't exactly be called rich and colorful; at the very least, it was tragic and inhumane.

Taking a vacation to relax was not entirely unacceptable.

However, considering the current situation and the fact that he had killed and wounded two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he felt he couldn't afford to lose his head—or his mind.

Therefore, he had no choice but to honestly get up and do his rehabilitation training, but the question of "where to go from here" kept echoing in his mind.

He did have a cheat, and it was very practical, but the problem was that his current troubles were particularly thorny.

He was truly worried that he would go blind before he could even refine his Mangekyo into an Eternal Mangekyo!

"So, I must find something that can replace it, something that can maintain my Mangekyo ocular power, and this thing..."

Believe it or not, it actually existed!

While performing rehabilitation exercises in the training ground, Uchiha Sou suddenly thought of something, which made his thoughts start to stir.

As everyone knew, there were actually only two ways to maintain the use of the Mangekyo without going blind.

One was to go straight to the Eternal Mangekyo once and for all, but Uchiha Sou had no way to consider that.

And the other was the cells of Senju Hashirama!

Senju Hashirama was definitely the strongest Hokage of Konoha, but he was also definitely the most tragic one.

Not only did his best friend run away, but in the end, he had to kill his best friend with his own hands for the sake of Konoha, and he didn't even have peace after death.

Not only was his corpse dug up by his younger brother and his disciples and grand-disciples for research, but his soul was also repeatedly summoned via Impure World Reincarnation.

But it had to be said that his body was truly a treasure, even after he was dead!

"Senju Hashirama's cells are worth considering, but..."

Uchiha Sou muttered to himself, his eyes involuntarily narrowing slightly.

But getting his hands on Senju Hashirama's cells was not easy at all.

There were two places where they could be obtained: one was in the hands of that old man Shimura Danzō, or in other words, in the hands of Orochimaru!

In his memory, although Orochimaru had not yet completely fallen into darkness and become unable to extricate himself at this time, he had already come into contact with the First Hokage's cells.

After all, if he remembered correctly, that kid Yamato was the same age as Shisui.

However, the cells in Danzō's hands at this stage were probably not yet the product of Orochimaru's continuous improvements, and even if he really got his hands on them, he might not dare to use them.

And besides Danzō and Orochimaru, there were others who possessed Senju Hashirama's cells, and they had undergone sufficient modification, and the quantity might not be small!

"Uchiha Madara, and Black Zetsu..."

What Uchiha Sou thought of was naturally White Zetsu, but the problem was that he was too far away from the battlefield in the Land of Grass.

It would be no exaggeration to say they were worlds apart.

Moreover, compared to guys like Danzō and Orochimaru, the danger coefficient of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu was much higher.

Even though he knew that the current Uchiha Madara was only prolonging his life by relying on the life force provided by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

As long as he was bold enough to pull out Uchiha Madara's oxygen tube, that guy would die quickly without needing to be dealt with at all.

But the problem was, did he dare?

Clearly, Uchiha Sou felt he didn't dare; that was Uchiha Madara, after all!

"So, I still need to think it over carefully and plan it out properly."

Uchiha Sou sighed slightly, but just at this moment, he saw Nara Rukawa and Uchiha Shizuka walking towards him.

He immediately adjusted his current state, then stopped his movements and went to meet them.

"Captain So." Nara Rukawa and Uchiha Shizuka immediately bowed slightly to Uchiha Sou.

The attitudes of these two were very respectful, especially that guy Nara Rukawa; it was evident that this incident had truly caused him quite a shock.

In fact, this time it was extremely shocking for all the Konoha ninja who remained in the small town.

Even though they had always respected Uchiha Sou and had always known his strength was formidable.

But they really didn't expect that Uchiha Sou, at such a young age, could achieve a record of one dead and one wounded when facing two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

And the fact that their group of stragglers could force the Mist Ninja to use members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to raid them also showed how effective Uchiha Sou's methods were.

"You two, I've told you before not to be so formal."

Uchiha Sou knew that their mindset was different from before, but he still joked.

"Tell me about the specific situation. Although I've just started rehabilitation, I don't think you need to treat me like a wounded patient."

"That goes without saying, Captain So."

Nara Rukawa smiled, and then his expression became serious.

"There was such a big problem this time, and I bear a great responsibility. In fact, when the genin Might Duy was heading towards our side, people from other camps had already reported this information.

It was my negligence that caused this information to be overlooked, and at the same time, I did not consider the possible reactions and actions of Kirigakure, so I am willing to accept punishment."

When Uchiha Sou established the various "war zones," they had specialized ninja responsible for using summoning techniques to relay messages in order to ensure communication, control, and command.

After Might Duy was cornered by ninja from other "war zones," it was naturally impossible for this information not to be relayed, and Nara Rukawa, who reviewed these reports, was indeed responsible for failing to react.

However, Uchiha Sou was quite understanding of him; compared to a genin like Might Duy running over, the events occurring in various places and the matters at hand were likely more worthy of his attention.

Moreover, it was likely that no one would have truly expected Kirigakure to make such a massive move.

"Everyone has oversights and faults, but the attitude one takes toward these oversights and faults is what shapes different people."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sou shook his head slightly.

"If one only thinks about the losses they have caused, then that person is likely difficult to use for any great purpose."

"If one keeps the losses they caused in mind while finding ways to avoid all of this in the future, constantly allowing oneself to improve and perfect oneself, then that is a successful person."

"Chunin Rukawa, do you now understand where you should place your focus?"

"I understand, Captain So."

Nara Rukawa took a deep breath, signaled to Uchiha Shizuka, and then spoke.

"These are our losses this time. Fortunately, our reaction speed was fast enough; there were about sixty civilian casualties, and eight ninja suffered casualties."

"I don't want a casualty list; leave that for Lord Orochimaru to see."

Uchiha Sou shook his head, his expression turning somewhat cold.

"What we need to do is avenge them; that is the most important thing."

Although Uchiha Sou had gained a lot from this sneak attack, he absolutely could not forget that he had truly almost been the target of a "decapitation strike."

They had attacked his very doorstep, and Uchiha Sou was never one with a good temper; how could he just let it go? Furthermore, his mission was to harass and contain these Kirigakure forces, so combining the two, it was even more impossible to just stop here.

"Captain, you mean..." Nara Rukawa seemed to understand something upon hearing this: "Are we going to begin a full-scale operation?"

"That's right, a full-scale operation." Uchiha Sou nodded: "The previous actions have already proven their effectiveness, and I think it is time to amplify that effect!"

The intensity of a full-scale operation was truly incomparable to the current situation, and although there was a desire for revenge involved, Uchiha Sou did indeed need to do this when calculating the time.

Uchiha Sou had a bad temper, but Konoha's temper was even worse; he dared not provoke that style of killing one's entire family at the slightest provocation.

Moreover, once the full-scale operation began, Uchiha Sou would also participate in major missions.

He was very eager to see what kind of power these eyes could unleash after his rehabilitation!
