Deserted Island Plan

The five great nations were actually all the same. Each had its own upper echelons, as well as a daimyo.

Whenever major matters needed handling, they had to be discussed by the higher-ups before the daimyo made the final decision.

Mingyou had read the original story. If he remembered correctly, there were still some old fogeys in the Land of Water who held power.

If the Uchiha Clan directly set foot in the Land of Water like this, and those higher-ups harbored ill intentions, then the Uchiha Clan would once again face the same disaster they had suffered in Konoha.

They would likely have to flee again.

That was not what Mingyou wanted to see. After pondering it for a long time, he decided to temporarily bring the Uchiha Clan to a deserted island near the border of the Land of Water.

Although that deserted island was also under the jurisdiction of the Land of Water, it had no ninja forces stationed there, meaning the Uchiha would not be subject to any control.

"This... won't be a problem, Lord Envoy."

Amakawa Hiroshi held the map and stared at it in confusion for a long while.

He could not understand what Mingyou intended to do on an uninhabited deserted island.

However, as a ninja, Amakawa Hiroshi possessed absolute professionalism and did not ask Mingyou about his purpose.

Next, Amakawa Hiroshi had most of the remaining ninja stay behind to continue the investigation.

He himself took five ninja, piloted one of the warships, and left this stretch of sea with Mingyou and Samui, heading toward the deserted island Mingyou had indicated.

"What's this? My Lord Envoy Mingyou, are you planning to take me off to live the life of a rustic villager?"

Samui hooked her arm around Mingyou's, smiling as she asked.

Mingyou nodded and gave her perky rear a squeeze. "That's right. There was a saying in my hometown. Want to hear it?"

"Can't you be serious for once?" Samui's cheeks flushed red as she slapped his hand away in mock annoyance. "What saying? Let's hear it."

Mingyou flashed a wicked grin and whispered, "The saying goes, women with big butts can bear sons. Looking at your figure, you should be prime material for having sons."

"From now on, I'll take you with me and settle down on that deserted island. We'll live a shameless, carefree life, and you'll give me seven or eight children to carry on the Uchiha Clan bloodline."

"You shameless bastard~~" Samui was both embarrassed and furious. She raised her hand and punched at Mingyou. "You damn Mingyou, do you think I'm a pig? Seven or eight children? Dream on!!"

Having taken such a punch last time, Mingyou was prepared this time.

He raised his hand, caught Samui's palm, and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. "Haha, I'm just joking. Don't get so angry."

The ship traveled across the sea for more than three hours before finally arriving at a stretch of coast.

"Lord Envoy, do you have any further instructions?"

Amakawa Hiroshi clasped his hands and bowed as he asked Mingyou once more.

"No, thank you for bringing us here." Mingyou smiled as he thanked him. If he had crossed the sea himself by running over the water, it would probably have taken at least twice as long.

"Oh, right. When your Fifth Mizukage returns, remember to notify her. Tell her that I, Mingyou, intend to settle here."

"If she needs to discuss anything with me, she can send someone here to find me."

"Understood, Lord Envoy." Amakawa Hiroshi nodded, then turned and led his men away aboard the warship.

"Let's go."

Mingyou called out and led Samui across the sea toward the uninhabited deserted island ahead.

As far as the eye could see, surging waves continuously crashed against the shore, while an endless forest stretched beyond the beach.

Even under the exceptionally bright daylight, the sunlight still could not penetrate the gaps between the branches.

Mingyou took the lead, stepping on tree trunks and leaping straight ahead.

Along the way, they saw no shortage of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Occasionally, they even spotted wild beasts darting through the dense forest.

The sight of these things dispelled one of Mingyou's concerns.

He had previously worried whether such an uninhabited island might have a food shortage.

Now, it seemed that this basic issue would not need any concern.

After Mingyou passed through the forest and climbed a tall peak at the center of the island, he stood at the summit, shading his eyes as he looked around.

The island covered a vast area. Compared to the Land of Waves, it was more than three times larger.

Although most of it was covered by forest, the Uchiha Clan did not have many members to begin with, so there was no need to worry about that.

At the foot of the mountain.

Mingyou activated Kamui, and violent spatial distortions rippled through the air before him.

"Father, Mother, all of you, come out."

Over the course of several minutes, Mingyou released all two hundred-plus members of the Uchiha Clan one by one.

Uchiha Mikoto frowned as she looked around. "Mingyou, where is this place? Why did you bring us to this wilderness?"

Uchiha Fugaku also asked, "Yes, Mingyou. How did your negotiations about attacking Konoha go?"

"Sigh..." Mingyou let out a heavy sigh, unsure how to explain things for a moment.

"Father, Mother, Great Elder, we were set up by the Fourth Raikage. He invited us over because he was actually after the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai."

"What? Mingyou, what exactly happened?" Elder Soki immediately became displeased, so angry that his two whiskers puffed upward.

Mingyou hesitated for a moment before saying solemnly, "Father, Mother, Great Elder, it's too complicated. Let me explain it all to you slowly later."

"This is a deserted island within the Land of Water. We should first find a way to establish ourselves here."

Fugaku looked around and did not ask any further questions. "Is that so? We'll follow your arrangements."

Afterward, Fugaku began mobilizing the surrounding Uchiha clansmen to set up a temporary camp.

Inside the Kamui Dimension, these two hundred-plus clansmen had originally lived in tents.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about tents, clothing, or tools for making fires and cooking. They had brought all of those things with them.

Under Fugaku and the Great Elder's arrangements, some of the elderly, weak, women, and children began setting up temporary tents at the foot of the mountain and were also responsible for making fires and cooking.

The other men stepped into the forest and began cutting down trees, preparing for the construction of wooden houses.

Although Mingyou had copied all kinds of ninjutsu, unfortunately, he had never successfully copied Wood Release.

If he had Wood Release ninjutsu, he would not have needed to worry about building houses at a time like this.

He could have simply used the Four Pillars House Technique to build a large number of wooden houses for the clansmen to live in.
