Mikoto's Misaka Network (Seeking Follow-ups)

In less than a minute, Misaka Sister 0002 recovered from her dismembered state into the exact likeness of Mikoto.

However, the clothes on her body were missing the parts covering her limbs, making it look as if she were wearing hot pants and a sleeveless T-shirt.

After dealing with the primary target, the White Zetsu, Fucheng did not let the severed limbs of the White Zetsu or the remains of the Root ninja go to waste.

Fucheng stored the corpses directly into a scroll and used Lightning Release ninjutsu to neutralize the bloodstains on the ground.

"Withdraw! Leave this Root base as it is for now; we won't deal with it yet."

Fucheng carefully picked up the mysterious box, and the two of them, along with the two Zetsu, quickly departed the forest.

The newly born Misaka Sister 0002 was currently wearing a slightly oversized spare outfit belonging to Mikoto.

This made Mikoto suddenly realize that these Misaka Sisters transformed from White Zetsu only resembled her in appearance; their height and weight seemed to be entirely different.

Fucheng thought about the Misaka Sisters in A Certain Magical Index, and it seemed their figures were not identical either.

Some had large chests, while others had small ones.

Some were tall, while others had long legs.

It seemed these White Zetsu-transformed Misaka Sisters also followed this pattern.

Three days later, Black Zetsu led a group of new White Zetsu to Konoha.

They first appeared in the underground of Naka Shrine.

Deep beneath this place, the stone tablet inscribed by the Sage of Six Paths was supposed to be kept.

Because every generation of Indra's reincarnations would eventually see this stone tablet, Black Zetsu would visit it in every era to alter its misleading content.

Only by doing this could Black Zetsu more easily make the reincarnations of Indra believe what he said.

The stone tablet could be considered an "old friend" of Black Zetsu.

However, the reincarnations of Indra throughout history had all failed for various reasons.

It was not until the generation of Uchiha Madara that Black Zetsu finally saw a turning point.

Uchiha Madara obtained Hashirama cells and awakened the Rinnegan.

Once things reached this stage, Black Zetsu's plan could effectively be considered more than half complete.

And theoretically, after Uchiha Madara awakened the Rinnegan, this stone tablet in Naka Shrine no longer had any utility.

However, since it had been an important "deception" tool that had accompanied Black Zetsu all along, the sudden disappearance of the stone tablet still made him feel somewhat agitated.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu had brought ten White Zetsu with him this time.

At the very least, he could strengthen the surveillance of Konoha.

"Go, release the signal!"

Black Zetsu ordered the White Zetsu to use the Spore Technique.

A unique mist containing plant spores and pheromones spread rapidly, carried by the northwest wind.

Within two hours, all of Konoha should be able to receive Black Zetsu's message.

The White Zetsu who received the signal would come to the underground of Naka Shrine to rendezvous.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Not a single hair of a White Zetsu appeared.

"Impossible. Aside from the White Zetsu that died at the training ground outside the village, there were at least three others inside Konoha.

Even if the one monitoring the Uchiha died, there are still the ones monitoring Root and the Hokage Building!"

Black Zetsu's pitch-black face revealed no expression, but one didn't need to be a genius to know he was in a foul mood.

After waiting for another hour, Black Zetsu had no choice but to confirm that the three White Zetsu in Konoha had likely gone missing.

Black Zetsu did not know that at this very moment, in the courtyard of the Uchiha clan head, Mikoto was playing cards with four Misaka Sisters.

All five girls had their faces covered in white paper strips, which symbolized penalties.

However, to avoid causing a stir, the Misaka Sisters were wearing masks just like the Anbu.

The paper strips were stuck onto their masks.

Mikoto, however, had her face exposed, and it was covered in paper strips from her forehead down to her chin.

Even if Black Zetsu appeared in the Uchiha compound right now, he likely wouldn't recognize that the White Zetsu he had dispatched had already turned into soft, adorable girls.

Speaking of these four, Misaka Sisters 0001 through 0004, they looked identical, yet their figures were vastly different.

Number 1 had a plump, pear-shaped figure; Number 2 had a petite, loli-like frame; Number 3 was the closest to the original Mikoto in height and leg length; and Number 4 had an exaggerated, hourglass figure with a tiny waist.

They all retained a portion of the White Zetsu's Wood Release and regenerative abilities, though they lost the plant-based Spore Technique; however, they possessed less than one-third of Mikoto's Level 3 Electro Master lightning abilities.

They could all learn the Three Body Technique and taijutsu.

But when it came to other Fire, Wind, Earth, or Lightning Release ninjutsu, they were essentially incompetent.

Fucheng even suspected that the ninjutsu learning ability of these Misaka Sisters could rival that of the ninjutsu-insulated Might Guy.

With four Misaka Sisters now present, Fucheng and Mikoto had repeatedly searched the village, yet they found no other hidden White Zetsu.

It seemed they were the only surveillance eyes Uchiha Madara had within Konoha.

As the number of Misaka Sisters increased, the Misaka Network began to show its initial effects.

As long as a Misaka Sister remained within one hundred kilometers of Mikoto, she could provide a power boost to Mikoto.

The sisters themselves could also gain a certain degree of lightning ability enhancement under the coverage of the Misaka Network.

In particular, when Mikoto used Electromagnetic Wave Perception, the presence of four Misaka Sisters would amplify her original sensing range by more than six times.

With the four Misaka Sisters positioned in different directions, as long as they were within 1KM of Mikoto, her instantaneous electromagnetic wave detection range could be expanded from the original 500 meters to a 3KM radius centered on her, thanks to the Misaka Network's amplification.

This range was truly exaggerated!

Even the Byakugan, which was renowned for its reconnaissance capabilities, could only conduct visual reconnaissance within a 1KM radius under favorable weather conditions.

Fucheng jokingly remarked that if a few more Misaka Sister nodes were added to the Misaka Network, Mikoto would truly become a human radar.

As the atmosphere of war in the Land of Rain intensified, Konoha simultaneously began its war mobilization against the Land of Rain.

Within three days, the prices of supplies in Konoha, such as ninja tools, medicine, and food, skyrocketed across the board.

Fortunately, after the establishment of the Uchiha Clan Industry Management Center, Fucheng had consistently and firmly instilled in the clan's ninja that this war in the Land of Rain was inevitable.

This allowed the Uchiha clan to begin accumulating and purchasing supplies very early on.

In particular, the internal regulatory role of Uchiha Points ensured that the market environment of soaring prices did not affect the war preparations of the Uchiha ninja.

This time, Fucheng's war strategy could not be like Fugaku's previous one.

Not only was there a chaotic mess of jonin, chunin, and genin, but the village had also split the Uchiha clan into several completely uncoordinated factions.

The radicals, the conservatives, and the clan head's faction were all in total disarray.

Not only were the Uchiha jonin and chunin not well-deployed.

Even many Uchiha genin who should not have been on the battlefield were forcibly conscripted by the village to participate in the war.

If the Land of Rain battlefield were to open this time, the first thing Uchiha Fucheng would do was establish a combat unit under his own independent command.

Then, he would only draft a small number of Uchiha jonin to serve as a special ability unit, providing strategic support to other Konoha ninja.

As for the chunin brought to the battlefield to gain experience, and the elite genin intended for growth, they had to be carefully protected under his wings.

As for the Uchiha genin with average abilities, in Fucheng's view, there was no need for them to participate in the Land of Rain campaign at all.

It was better for them to stay home and train with peace of mind; it would not be too late to consider participating in the war once they had accumulated a certain foundation in ninjutsu.

If Konoha wanted to forcibly conscript ordinary Uchiha genin this time, Fucheng wouldn't even need to speak; a large group of united Uchiha jonin elites would be enough to make the Third Hokage tread carefully.

Finally, because he saw the infant Kakashi, Uchiha Fucheng unexpectedly thought of another way to utilize the Copy Ninja's potential.
