S-rank Fire Style Forbidden Technique—Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens

Tajima's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Madara, are you questioning my decision?"

"I would not dare." Madara's fists clenched tight, but his voice remained firm. "It's just that these potions are of great importance to Mo..."

"Enough!" Tajima slammed the table and shot to his feet, his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning wildly. "As clan leader, I must consider the entire Uchiha! These potions can greatly increase our clan's strength!"

The air in the council hall seemed to freeze.

Izuna, who had just returned, stood to the side, not even daring to breathe.

Qin Mo gently pressed a hand on Madara's shoulder. "Big brother, Father is right. For the future of the Uchiha, I am willing to hand over the potions."

Madara turned to Qin Mo, his eyes filled with confusion. "Mo, you..."

"However, Father," Qin Mo said, turning to Tajima and bowing respectfully, "these potions require special containers for preservation. Moving them rashly may affect their efficacy. Why not let me safeguard them for now? You may send people to take them whenever you wish."

Tajima narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing this son who hid his depths so well.

After a long while, he slowly nodded. "Very well. But you must report their usage to me every month."

"As you command, Father," Qin Mo replied with his head lowered.

Madara still wanted to say something, but Izuna quietly tugged at his sleeve.

The three of them left the council hall and arrived at a secluded area in the rear mountain.

Madara finally could not help asking, "Mo! Why did you compromise? Could those potions have been..."

Qin Mo gently shook his head, took out a delicate small white jade bottle from his robes, and handed it to Madara. "If you don't believe me, big brother, you can examine it yourself."

Madara took the jade bottle, his Sharingan carefully studying the liquid inside, which glowed with a faint blue light.

He carefully opened the stopper, and a clear, refreshing fragrance immediately spread out.

"This..." Madara looked up in shock. "This potion contains extremely pure natural energy!"

Izuna also leaned in to smell it and cried out in surprise, "This is practically divine medicine!"

Qin Mo stood with his hands behind his back. "Do you understand now, big brother? If I really wanted to tamper with them, why would I use such precious potions?"

Madara's expression grew complicated. "Then why did you..."

"Because Father was right," Qin Mo interrupted, a trace of sincerity flashing through his eyes. "These potions can indeed greatly increase the Uchiha's combat strength."

Izuna suddenly thought of something. "Wait, Mo, what happens after the Kaguya Clan drinks the Water of Life you gave them?"

The corners of Qin Mo's mouth lifted slightly. "If they drink the Water of Life I laced, once the effects take hold within three days, they will become utterly loyal to me. No matter what order I give, they will carry it out without question, even if I tell them to die."

Madara and Izuna both sucked in a breath of cold air.

Madara's fingers unconsciously tightened around the small white jade bottle. "Mo... just like that, you've easily taken control of the entire Kaguya Clan's elites..."

Izuna's breathing quickened, envy flickering in his eyes. "That's incredible! In that case, the Kaguya Clan's strongest fighting force is completely in your hands!"

Qin Mo gently shook his head. "Big brother, second brother, this isn't for me personally.

Think about it. With this force, the Uchiha will hold an absolute advantage in the coming great war."

Madara suddenly grabbed Qin Mo by the shoulders. "But if Father finds out you're secretly controlling the Kaguya Clan..."

"That's why only the three of us know about this," Qin Mo said, his voice suddenly lowering. "Given Father's personality, if he learns of it, he will definitely stop me from doing this."

Izuna nervously looked around and lowered his voice. "But Mo, Father is an expert with the Mangekyo Sharingan..."

"Calm down!" Qin Mo raised his hand and formed seals with complete confidence. The air around them immediately rippled. "I've already used genjutsu to shield this area."

Madara let go, but his brows remained tightly furrowed. "Mo, you're playing with fire. What Father hates most is anyone in the clan making moves behind his back."

"This isn't some petty scheme, big brother." Qin Mo's gaze suddenly turned incomparably serious. "Do you still remember what I told you before, about the Uchiha being wiped out?"

Izuna's pupils abruptly contracted, and even his voice became sharp. "Wiped out? How is that possible! We Uchiha are the strongest clan!"

Madara's Sharingan spun wildly. "Explain clearly! Just who has the ability to wipe out my entire Uchiha Clan?"

Qin Mo said slowly, "Who exactly... I still can't say right now.

But think about it. If even a powerful clan like the Kaguya can be easily controlled by me, what else in this world is impossible?"

Izuna's face turned pale. "Could it be... the Senju Clan? Or..."

"Neither." Qin Mo shook his head. "The true threat is far more terrifying than you imagine.

But right now, we only need to do one thing."

He raised the bottle of Water of Life glowing with blue light. "Become stronger. Strong enough to change fate."

Madara's fists clenched until his knuckles cracked. "So that's why you want to secretly control the Kaguya's power..."

"This is only the first step." A trace of resolve flashed through Qin Mo's eyes. "I will make the entire ninja world know the consequences of making an enemy of the Uchiha."

Madara suddenly lowered his voice. "Mo, tell me honestly... have you already seen the future?"

Qin Mo did not answer directly. He only said softly, "Three days from now, when the Kaguya Clan is completely under my control, I'll tell you more."

A cold wind suddenly rose, stirring the robes of the three.

Madara stared at Mo's profile and, for the first time, felt that he was both so unfamiliar and so reliable.

"All right." Madara finally nodded. "I believe you. But remember, no matter what you're going to do, you have to bring me and Izuna with you."

Izuna nodded hard. "That's right! With us three brothers together, there's nothing we can't do!"

A warm light flashed through Qin Mo's eyes. "All right. Us three brothers, together."

He extended his right hand. Madara and Izuna immediately understood, and the three of them stacked their hands tightly together.

Under the moonlight, that simple action seemed to form an oath that could never be broken.

"But before that," Qin Mo said in a low voice, "we need to make some preparations. Big brother, your strength still needs to become greater!"

Madara asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me you have a way to increase my ocular power again?"

Qin Mo shook his head and took out an ancient scroll glowing with a dark red light from his robes. Special sealing talismans were wrapped around the scroll.

"Not ocular power. This." Qin Mo handed the scroll to Madara. "This is the training method for the S-rank Fire Style forbidden technique, 'Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens.'"

Shock flickered in Madara's eyes. "This... this is the forbidden technique researched by the Uchiha ancestors? Wasn't it already lost?"

Izuna sucked in a breath of cold air. "Mo, where exactly did you get a forbidden technique like this?"

Qin Mo said in a low voice, "In the ruins where I discovered the Water of Life, there were also many lost Uchiha secret techniques.

Big brother, with your talent, you should be able to master this technique within seven days."
