With Tsunade's approval, Uchiha Fucheng took Misaka Mikoto, Hezi, and Hatake Jiangyi directly to find Yakushi Nonō in the camp.

At this moment, Yakushi Nonō was a tiny figure, appearing timid and shy.

Nonō looked at the group and asked uncertainly, "H-hello, is there something you need?"

Uchiha Fucheng looked down at the little girl who didn't even reach his chest and bent down kindly to answer, "Hello, Yakushi Nonō, I am Uchiha Fucheng."

"Because the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Fugaku, is severely injured, Lady Tsunade has specifically arranged for you to be assigned to my squad."

"During the final stages of this campaign, you will be primarily responsible for helping me look after Uchiha Fugaku and three other severely injured members of the Uchiha clan."

Hearing that this was an arrangement by Lady Tsunade, Yakushi Nonō was a bit dazed, but she nodded firmly, "Understood, Lord Fucheng!"

As a civilian ninja, Yakushi Nonō knew the status of the prestigious Uchiha clan within Konoha.

Moreover, since this was Lady Tsunade's arrangement, she naturally agreed repeatedly.

The girl bowed and introduced herself to the group, "Lord Fucheng, I am Yakushi Nonō, nine years old this year, and a genin who graduated early this year."

"For medical ninjutsu, I only know the Healing Technique; I am still learning the Mystical Palm Technique. My strength might be quite lacking, so I ask for your guidance, Lord Fucheng."

With her flaxen hair and black-rimmed glasses, Yakushi Nonō looked just like a miniature version of Kabuto.

However, at this moment, Yakushi Nonō looked adorable, lacking the cold, "expressionless + fake smile" vibe that Kabuto possessed.

Learning that Nonō had graduated from the ninja academy due to the village's emergency conscription and currently had no teammates, Fucheng decided to simply integrate the girl into the ninja squad led by Mikoto.

It just so happened that Uchiha Hezi and Hatake Jiangyi had lost a teammate, Matsumoto, in this battle.

He would have the three of them work together to take care of the Uchiha clan's wounded in the camp.

To encourage them, Fucheng personally advanced the rewards for two C-rank missions.

"This is an extra reward outside of the war missions. These two C-rank mission rewards are from me personally; please, I entrust you to take good care of Fugaku and the others." Fucheng did not give them cash rewards, but instead took out two ninjutsu scrolls and stuffed them into the hands of the squad leader, Misaka Mikoto.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique are both very practical advanced ninjutsu. All four of you should be able to learn them. If there is anything you don't understand, you can have Mikoto come find me."

Hearing Fucheng say this, the three girls led by Mikoto expressed their gratitude one after another.

[Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique] is a very practical C-rank fire jutsu; once mastered, it can even derive techniques like Phoenix Sage Claw Crimson.

[Shadow Clone Technique], while not as powerful as the [Multi-Shadow Clone Technique], is still an important B-rank ninjutsu that only chunin can typically learn. Although it is relatively common in Konoha, for genin without seniority like them, it was already a rare and practical ninjutsu.

With this, Yakushi Nonō officially joined the ninja squad led by Mikoto.

In Uchiha Fucheng's consciousness, a new reward notification appeared.

[Reward 1: Yakushi Nonō's Fate Dice]

[Reward 2: Yakushi Kabuto's Fate Dice]

Fucheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was pleasantly surprised inside.

He had anticipated the reward for Yakushi Nonō, but he hadn't expected that he could also change the fate of Yakushi Kabuto along with it.

It was clear just how important Yakushi Nonō was to Kabuto.

Roll the Fate Dice!

The dice for both Yakushi Nonō and Kabuto landed on 4.

Yakushi Nonō's reward was [Acquire medical ninjutsu ability, acquire A-rank medical ninjutsu: Mystical Palm Technique].

Kabuto's reward was [Acquire basic medical human research knowledge, acquire A-rank medical ninjutsu: Yin Healing Wound Destruction].

These two abilities were quite good; the A-rank Mystical Palm Technique could be used to heal others.

Meanwhile, the A-rank Yin Healing Wound Destruction was for self-healing.

If his injuries were too severe, he still had his Mangekyō skills; the combination of low, medium, and high-tier medical capabilities successfully formed a graded medical ninjutsu repertoire.

Having handled the matter of Yakushi Nonō, Uchiha Fucheng seized the time to consolidate the other Uchiha ninjas in the camp.

Fucheng's goal was not simply to avoid the crisis of clan extermination; Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki who had escaped through feigned death were the true Damocles' swords hanging over his head.

The greatest enemy of a transmigrator is always the master behind the scenes of this world. When the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up, but for Fucheng, he was confident that he would be the tallest one in the future.

How to face the future Ōtsutsuki aliens?

Fucheng had his own understanding: the first step was to integrate all the power of his own clan.

Before the war began, the Uchiha clan ninjas on this battlefield were mainly divided into four parts.

The ninjas of the Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna's lineage had the most intense desire for war; after all, they had even dared to assassinate the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. These ninjas basically followed the main force of the battlefield and were the first wave to depart for the Sand Ninja front.

The Uchiha ninjas of the clan head faction, led by Fugaku, served as high-end combat power under the command of Hatake Sakumo, cooperating with the Konoha White Fang for assault operations.

The third part, including Uchiha Fucheng and Uchiha Yashiro, were all mobile squads with relatively average strength.

Relying on the bloodline advantage of the Sharingan and some ninjas from the Hyuga clan, they were scattered around the battlefield, mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions.

The fourth wave of Uchiha ninjas was among Tsunade's reinforcements, consisting of moderate factions like the Second and Third Elders.

The strength of these ninjas was even lower; among the thirty-plus ninjas, there were only two jonin team leaders. Someone like Mikoto, a Uchiha chunin, was considered a formidable member among this group.

The Uchiha ninjas, who had been scattered into small teams following the battle, were gathered together once more by Uchiha Fucheng at this moment.

The secluded area in the southeast corner of the camp served as the temporary station for these Uchiha clan ninjas.

Uchiha Fucheng saw the familiar faces of Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Huoying, Uchiha Qingming, and others he had been separated from earlier.

There were about two hundred Uchiha clansmen in the camp, and it was somewhat inconvenient for them all to gather in one place. Fucheng had no choice but to first summon the core jonin to congregate in the largest meeting tent.

Excluding Fugaku, who was too severely injured to attend, and Uchiha Yueying, a jonin who remained semi-conscious, there were 33 core jonin members in the tent.

This number was far higher than the typical jonin ratio of an average ninja clan.

If not for the news of Uchiha Fucheng awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan on the battlefield gradually spreading among these clansmen, these unruly Uchiha might not have even given Fucheng the courtesy of attending this gathering.

In particular, many ninjas from the faction of the Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna did not look at Fucheng with any respect.

Looking at the Uchiha jonin sitting in a circle inside the tent, Fucheng was reminded of the time when he first started out mining, with only a dozen cousins by his side.

Compared to the former Li Fucheng, the current Uchiha Fucheng already possessed power beyond his wildest imagination.

Power could be intoxicating.

Uchiha Fucheng had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the group; he simply caused his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to spin rapidly.

The surrounding Uchiha jonin were shocked; only when the Mangekyo Sharingan truly appeared did they feel what it meant to be suppressed by bloodline.

The jonin also activated their own Sharingan, observing the transformation of Fucheng's eyes from three tomoe to Mangekyo.

The tomoe connected into a single piece.

First, they formed a central symmetry, and then, four arc-shaped, lightning-bolt-like blades abruptly manifested!

The appearance of the Mangekyo caused the breathing of every Uchiha present to quicken.

Fucheng, however, sat with a commanding, imposing air, his gaze sweeping fiercely across the Uchiha jonin seated in a circle around the tent.

"If I were to say that I want to become the clan head of the Uchiha..."
