--Shadow Clone Jutsu!
He rushed out of the bushes first, and Shadow Clone dispersed on both sides simultaneously.
Uchiha Enjin Although the three of them were surprised, they followed without hesitation.
"Who is it?!" Kakashi turned his head warily.
Uchiha Jun ignored it. He turned his left hand and a Secret Scroll appeared - "Secret Scroll·Chakra!"
Warm energy pours into the limbs and bones, and chakra is instantly filled!
He also activated the newly acquired A-nin template--
[Current role: Uchiha Izuna]
[Quality: A-nin (Kage Level) (0/60)]
[Characteristics]: Fire Release specialization, Uchiha-style Swordsmanship, Mangekyō Sharingan, sword mastery, Ninjutsu Mastery
[Skills]: Fire Release·Great Fireball, Uchiha-style Swordsmanship, Uchiha-style Swordsmanship·Anti-reverse, Uchiha's Glory (esoteric)]
A familiar yet slightly different force awakened within him.
Not the swiftness of Namikaze Minato, not the sharpness of Sasuke, but another kind - older, crazier, with the calmness and arrogance of Warring States Era Uchiha Clan's direct bloodline.
Uchiha Jun drew out the sword, and the blade was instantly wrapped in the fiery Fire Release chakra.
"Fire Release·Fireball Jutsu!"
A huge fireball erupted from his mouth, roaring and hitting the Iwa-nin group that was besieging Kakashi and Obito!
The explosion overturned three or four people and gave two Konoha teenagers a precious breathing space.
Immediately afterwards, his figure was like lightning, penetrating into the core of the battlefield.
"Uchiha Clan flow·Swordsmanship·Flash!"
Kakko and the sword light merged into one, passing through the throat of a Iwa-nin Chunin. The opponent had already fallen to the ground before the blood spurted out.
The movements are as smooth as if they have been practiced thousands of times, a skill engraved in the blood.
It's like a red-hot knife cutting into frozen meat with force.
The Iwa-nins were horrified to find that the "Uchiha Clan" that suddenly appeared had such exquisite sword skills!
Every sword is just right, and every sword is aimed directly at the vital point. Fire Release cooperates with the sword skills to double the power!
"Minato-sensei! It's reinforcements!" Obito shouted excitedly.
Namikaze Minato's Yellow Flash paused for a moment and then recovered.
He did not turn around, but said loudly, "Thanks for the help! But the opponent is Jinchuriki, you--"
"I know." Uchiha Jun's voice crossed the battlefield, "Take them to retreat! I'll handle it here!"
Minato was silent for half a second.
He saw the chakra fluctuations wrapped around Uchiha Jun, which were obviously different from those of regular ninjas.
It's that... dangerous, ancient smell.
It is the power of the Uchiha Clan.
"Kakashi! Obito! Anko Mitarashi! Withdraw!" Minato shouted, "Get to a safe distance!"
Kakashi gritted his teeth, took one last look at Uchiha Jun, picked up Obito and Anko Mitarashi, and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
Minato himself is standing on a high ground, Yellow Flash is still shining.
He looked at Uchiha Jun, holding a special Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, and flashed to Uchiha Jun and handed it out.
"This Kunai is for you."
He said in a deep voice, "After I send Kakashi and the others away from here, I will use this Kunai to take you out!"
Before he finished speaking, Minato's figure flashed and appeared beside Kakashi and others.
Another flash and disappeared completely.
There are only four Uchiha Jun left on the battlefield, together with Han, and the remaining Iwa-nin.
"Fire Formation, you also retreat."
"What?! That's just you."
"This is an order."
"... Yes!"
Hearing this, the Uchiha Enjin trio had to evacuate quickly.
Then Uchiha Jun faced off with Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han and other Iwa-nin who started to reorganize their lineup.
After a moment, Uchiha Jun raised his hand and looked at Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.
The workmanship is exquisite and the chakra resonance is obvious.
He weighed Kunai, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the next moment, he flicked his fingers.
"Ding!"
Kunai flew out and plunged into the ground.
Then--swipe the knife!
"Crack!"
The exquisite Kunai was broken from the middle and the pieces were scattered.
Han was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, steam evaporated from his body surface, and the red chakra glow became more intense.
"Stupid! Who do you think you are?! Destroy your only means of survival and face me--"
"Haha, it seems you have misunderstood something, let me tell you."
Uchiha Jun interrupted him, his voice was calm without any hint of fireworks, "You are the challenger."
Han's laughter stopped abruptly.
He saw Uchiha Jun raise his head, his originally dark eyes, and instantly--
Scarlet fills the air!
It's not the ordinary Sharingan scarlet, it's a deeper, richer scarlet that seems to absorb all the light!
Three pitch black Tomoe emerged in the blood red, rotated, and then - suddenly connected, turning into a more complex and weird pattern!
"Mangekyo..." Han took a breath.
And inside him, the roar of Five-Tails Kokuō almost pierced his consciousness:
[Idiot! That's Mangekyo! Mangekyō Sharingan! Run! Run with Boil Release! Run now!! Run!!!]
Kokuō's voice was filled with pure fear for the first time.
But it's too late.
Uchiha Jun's Mangekyo pattern rotated, and an invisible mental pressure, like a giant physical hand, slammed into Han's spirit!
"Be honest, Xiaoma." Uchiha Jun said calmly.
Han's body was stiff, Boil Release's chakra movement was stagnant, and the red Tailed Beast Transformation light fluctuated violently, but could no longer expand outward.
He felt like his consciousness was being pushed into the mire, heavy and suffocating.
"Light."
Uchiha Jun calls softly.
Uchiha Hikari walked out of the shadows, his scarlet eyes calmly staring at Han who was trapped by the immobilization technique.
"Yachihoko, Limited Tsukuyomi." Uchiha Jun ordered, "Control him and the thing inside."
"Just use it as a mobile power bank, and use it to draw the power from me."
Uchiha Hikari nodded, and Mangekyo turned it on again.
The purple brilliance bloomed again, covering Han.
Han felt that power penetrate into his mind, penetrate into the channel connecting him with Kokuō, and extend deeper--
[Stop!!] Kokuō screamed, but the sound became farther and farther away, getting weaker and weaker, [You can't... you...]
Then, silence.
Han's mind felt empty. The heavy and full feeling of being constantly connected to the huge source of chakra disappeared temporarily.
Instead, there was a strange, floating ease.
Uchiha Hikari put away the seal and breathed out gently.
"Successful." She said softly, "Double lock, the consciousness of Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts were suppressed into deep sleep, which can last for three days without any problem."
[System prompt: Trigger special long-term task--[Infinite Tsukuyomi·Five-Tails]]
[Task description: Incorporate Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han and Five-Tails Kokuō into the "Limited Tsukuyomi" control network as strategic reserves.]
[Task reward: Five-Tails Kokuō favorability turned on (0/100), Tailed Beast Chakra Extraction Technique unlocked (elementary), Gold Coin×5000, B-Rank Ninja Fragment: Han (Five-Tails Jinchuriki)×30 pieces]
Uchiha Jun felt something in his heart.
Good stuff, it looks like I will compete with Xiao for business in the future.
No, Akatsuki is probably just starting out now. He hasn't even put in the stick yet, so he probably doesn't have Akatsuki anymore.
"Let's go, use Limited Tsukuyomi to brainwash you into being defeated by my sword skills, and use Boil Release to escape."
"Hmm."
Uchiha Jun took back Mangekyo, and his eyes returned to darkness.
"Let's go," he said, "Go back to the village."
The two set out on their way home.
Behind him, the smoke from the battlefield gradually dissipated, leaving only the broken Kunai fragments lying quietly in the soil, reflecting the afternoon sun.
One week later.
Konoha gate, the familiar city wall comes into view.
Uchiha Jun looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The city gate seems to be... more lively?
In the past, mainly ninjas and merchants came in and out, but now, he saw several large carriages that were obviously not caravans, filled with cloth, spices, porcelain and other goods.
There were also some well-dressed civilians, surrounded by servants, lining up to enter the city.
"This month, the village has changed a lot." Uchiha Enjin said with emotion.
He has been away on missions for a long time and has a deeper sense of the changes in the village.
Uchiha Tieya and Uchiha Zhenshan also nodded in agreement.
Uchiha Jun didn't speak, just observed silently.
After entering the city, the changes became more obvious.
The commercial street has been expanded, and several well-decorated shops have been opened on both sides - a silk and satin shop, a spice shop, a high-end restaurant, and even a jewelry store with a "Land of Fire Royal Designated" plaque.
The density of pedestrians on the street is much higher than before, and there are many people wearing gorgeous clothes.
Price?
Uchiha Jun passed by a fruit stall and casually asked about the price of apples.
"Two thousand taels per catty, the best Land of Fire red Fuji!" The stall owner smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Uchiha Jun paused for a moment.
A month ago, this price could buy three kilograms.
"It's going up pretty fast."
"Konoha Did you change your surname to 'name'?"
He commented lightly and moved on.
The four of them went straight to Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is processing official documents in the office, and the smoke is still lingering.
When he saw Uchiha Jun walking in, he put down his pipe, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"You're back? How was the mission?"
"All five Iwagakure strongholds have been cleared, and Iwa-nin has retreated thirty miles away from the border." Uchiha Jun handed over the mission report, "The details are in the scroll."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll, browsed it quickly, and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. This month, the pressure on the border has been reduced a lot. Your contribution will not be forgotten by the village."
He paused and his eyes fell on Uchiha Jun's face. "In addition, I heard that you also solved the harassment of Five-Tails Jinchuriki on the way? This matter was mentioned in the report submitted by Namikaze Minato."
Uchiha Jun shrugged. "I happened to meet him and helped to contain him."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at him and did not ask any questions. "Okay, task settlement, one S-Rank Mission and four A-Rank Mission, the total reward is five million taels. In addition, in view of your outstanding performance in the task, Hokage Building specially approves your higher task selection authority and allowances."
This treatment is far beyond the regular Jonin.
"Thank you Lord Hokage." Uchiha Jun bowed and left.
After leaving Hokage Building, Uchiha Jun went straight back to the clan area, cleaned up briefly, and then came to the clan leader's residence.
I plan to ask Uchiha Fugaku for his opinion. This month, Uchiha Fugaku has not done any tasks.
When Uchiha Jun heard that Uchiha Jun was returning to the village, Uchiha Fugaku was also waiting in the study early in the morning.
"I'm back." Fugaku put down the tea cup in his hand and motioned for him to sit down. "I heard that the mission was completed smoothly. Even Minato praised you highly?"
"Good luck." Uchiha Jun did not take any credit, "Besides, I noticed great changes in the village."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed, "Yes, in the past month, Land of Fire Daimyo has placed three 'Hokage Advisor' in the village. Their power is equivalent to the position of consultant. After they came, the village became like this."
Then Uchiha Fugaku briefly introduced the situation of this month.
Generally speaking, these three Hokage Advisor used Daimyo Palace's funds and connections to attract merchants, introduce foreign goods, and promote Konoha's business "prosperity."
The market for Konoha suddenly became rich, but the corresponding prices also increased accordingly.
"I can't tell yet whether it's good or bad." Uchiha Fugaku frowned, "On the surface, the village seems to be more prosperous, but... I feel something is wrong."
Uchiha Jun tapped his fingers on the table and said after a moment, "It's economic control."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at him doubtfully.
Although he is the clan leader, in the final analysis, he is just an executioner who has been trained since childhood. Due to his limited size, Uchiha Fugaku or Konoha, all the clan leaders of the ninja clan, are not very knowledgeable about economics.
The only thing that makes a difference is collecting rent by relying on the 'land' passed down by the Uchiha Clan's ancestors.
As for some industries run by tribesmen without ninja talents, Uchiha Fugaku can only know the approximate profits, operating conditions, and business performance.
"The goal of the Daimyo Palace is not to prosper Konoha, but to control Konoha."
Uchiha Jun said in a steady voice, "Ninjas are separated from production, and most people survive on mission rewards. Ninjas who own land can also rely on rent subsidies, but ordinary ninja families, middle- and lower-level ninjas, have a single source of income."
"If prices continue to rise and the cost of living increases, they will have to take on more tasks or... accept other forms of 'subsidies.'"
Uchiha Fugaku's pupils shrank. "You mean..."
"At that time, money will be able to control the gods and exorcise ghosts." Uchiha Jun said calmly, "Daimyo Palace There is plenty of money. When ordinary ninjas find that they can only make ends meet by performing tasks desperately, but they can work for the daimyo and let the whole family live a good life by giving some 'sponsorship' from the consultants. What will they choose? People's hearts will change, especially under the pressure of survival."
He paused and continued, "In the long run, Daimyo Palace will be able to use money to win over a group of middle and lower-level ninjas, and even Jonin can reorganize his own power."
"--For example, re-establishing a 'Guardian Ninja' that only obeys the orders of the Daimyo Palace. By then, Hokage's authority will be affected, and Land of Fire will have the ability to 'challenge' Hokage, instead of using a 'soft knife' like now."
'It seems that there are capable people in the Land of Fire Daimyo Palace. It's interesting. It seems that this small vault will be able to be cut again soon.'
Uchiha Fugaku's face became more solemn when he heard this. "What about us Uchiha Clan? Although we have some properties with stable rents and less impact, but if it is true as you said..."
"Uchiha Clan There is no need to worry." Uchiha Jun waved his hand, "We have a lot of land, stable industry, and the short-term impact will be limited, and,"
