Land of Crafts at the Water-Lightning Border

"Uncle Yashiro, take this."

During a break in the mobilization of the Mobile Unit, Feng secretly approached Yashiro Uchiha and handed him a glass jar.

"This!! Is Mangekyō!"

After seeing what was inside the glass jar, Yashiro's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Feng with disbelief.

Feng then gave a calm smile and said:

"Yes, one of them is from Fugaku. It can predict the future, but the effect is very poor; it's basically useless."

One of them is that beast Itachi, who can unleash the inextinguishable black Amaterasu. It's somewhat useful, but that's about it.

As I mentioned before, I will reward the clan members who contribute the most Ninjutsu to the Ninja Academy with a pair of Mangekyō.

Although the matter of the Ninja Academy is not yet over, Yashiro Yashiro's contributions are undeniable.

They were always the first to respond when it came to contributing Ninjutsu, and the Ninjutsu they contributed were among the best in both quantity and quality. They also consistently promoted and encouraged this practice within the clan.

While we can't say for sure that your contribution is the highest, I'm pretty sure you're in the top three.

Right now, I need to go to the border and can't stay in Kirigakure, but we don't have enough people to stay in Kirigakure.

This requires someone to keep order in the newly occupied Kirigakure.

"Heh, what could be more intimidating than Uchiha with a pair of Mangekyō?!"

Yashiro Uchiha did not respond to the question, but instead stared greedily at the two Mangekyō eyes inside the glass jar for a long time.

This is the legendary Mangekyō of the Uchiha Clan; who wouldn't want to own it?

But soon after, he closed his eyes with difficulty and took a deep breath.

Then he slowly opened his eyes and handed the glass jar back to Feng.

"Xiao Feng, I'm almost fifty. Not to mention how much longer I can live, my aging body is no longer worthy of these eyes."

It would be a waste to give it to me; I'd rather give it to someone else, like Jianshi, Taro, Tekka, Inabi Uchiha, etc. It would be more beneficial to use it on these young people.

As for what I did, it was simply to help you as much as possible before I got completely old.

I only hope that before I close my eyes, I can see you leading your clan to stand at the pinnacle of the Ninja World.

Although he longed for the Mangekyō, his analytical mind clearly recognized that he was not the best candidate for it.

"!!!" Feng was greatly shocked by the Yashiro Uchiha's answer.

Very few people can resist the allure of the Mangekyō, let alone an Uchiha.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then let's make it easy for Kentaro. Jianshi is in the capital, and I have other plans for Tekka and Inabi Uchiha, so it's not easy for them to be equipped with Mangekyō."

However, I'll still need to trouble Uncle Yashiro to give it to him for me. I have to leave for the border soon, so I don't have time to go find him.

As for the eye transplant surgery, if it's urgent, you can find the medical-nin from Byakugan who can transplant Kirigakure's Byakugan. If he's not in a hurry, you can go to Director Yakushi Nonō.

He then smiled and handed the Mangekyō back to the other person.

The Yashiro Uchiha, who had already decided not to exchange his Mangekyō Sharingan, stopped hesitating and accepted it directly.

But perhaps fearing he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he immediately sealed the glass jar containing the Mangekyō with a sealing scroll, hoping to avoid seeing it altogether.

"Okay! I'll give the things to Kentaro in a bit."

"Well, Uncle Yashiro, it's your decision."

Tekka and Inabi Uchiha are almost assembled, it's time for me to come out too.

Feng smiled upon hearing this, glanced at Tekka, Inabi Uchiha, and the others who had already entered the Castle that Tokatsu the Chameleon had transformed into, and then bid them farewell.

Ever since he used the ' Tokatsu ' brand of readily available armory once, he had grown fond of this method of striking at the heart of the enemy and rapidly amassing troops.

Compared to the conventional operation of large-scale mobilization of manpower and large-scale military marches, which easily exposes the operation.

Feng's strategy of gathering a strong team at home, then arriving on the battlefield alone on a flying Summoning Beast or Flying Thunder God, and then making a sudden appearance like a divine soldier, is undoubtedly faster, more covert, and can catch the opponent off guard.

Generally speaking, small countries sandwiched between large countries are often in a very bad situation.

For example, the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass.

However, some small countries manage to thrive by employing unique methods of dealing with the world.

Just like the permanently neutral Iron Country, there's also the Land of Hot Water, famous throughout the Ninja World for its hot springs and bathhouses.

The Land of Crafts, located north of the Land of Water and south of the Land of Lightning, serving as a buffer zone between the two countries, is also a similar small country.

The country was fortunate to have produced an exceptionally talented ninja craftsman decades ago: Seimei.

Seimei established the Takumi Village in the Land of Crafts by manufacturing and selling ninja tools. Later, by undertaking ninja tool manufacturing business for various ninja villages and supplying ninja tools to countries in the Ninja World, the village gradually became the 'armory' of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Although they still had to be mindful of the Five Great Nations ' opinions, thanks to their special status as 'armory' and the fact that the ninja artisans posed little threat to other ninja villages, they received a certain degree of protection from the Five Great Shinobi Villages and were spared direct persecution from war for many years.

Therefore, the Land of Crafts is doing quite well.

However, these good days are likely to come to an end after Feng decided to cause trouble.

"Mei Terumi, what brings you to the border?"

"Hmm? Who is this?!"

At the Kirigakure's outpost in the Land of Crafts, patrolling ninjas looked at Feng and Mei Terumi, who arrived riding Steel-Wing Dragon, with some surprise.

Fortunately, he knew Mei Terumi, otherwise he would Teuchi by hand instead of just speaking.

"This... is a member of the Daimyo family. The specific reasons will be explained to everyone by the Marshal Elder later."

Mei Terumi glanced at Uchiha Feng, who was all alone, and felt a slight unease, but after considering the other party's strength, she instantly calmed down.

Like I said before, Flying Thunder God is a real bug; you can't play it without breaking it.

"Is the Marshal Elder coming too? When? Should I go and call Lord Ming to come and greet him?!"

Upon hearing that the village's "Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar" was coming, the patrolling ninjas immediately planned to summon the person in charge of the garrison.

Akira, the commander of the Anbu when Yagura was the Mizukage, along with Marshal Mei Terumi and others, discovered that Yagura was controlled by Genjutsu and overthrew Yagura rule. He stubbornly believed that these people were rebelling and had turned their backs on the village and the Mizukage.

Unfortunately, the final result proved him wrong; the Marshal, Mei Terumi, and others were right.

Akira, who miraculously survived the civil war, was a staunch supporter of Yagura and was naturally purged after the war.

However, at this time, Kirigakure was depleted of talent. Genji cherished Ming's talent and kept him, but Ming himself could not forgive himself.

So, to atone for his sins against the village and to escape that painful place, he exiled himself to the border, hoping that this time he could truly die for the village.

"No need, find us an open space first."

Mei Terumi stopped the other person and told them what Feng had told her on the way: to find a place to summon the Tokatsu the Chameleon.

"Uh? Yes, Mei Terumi- sama, this way."

The patrolling ninja didn't understand, but obediently did as instructed.
