Over the next few days, the wicked people in the Tea Country capital felt as if the sky had fallen. Aside from a few with ties to the Land of Fire or Konoha, the rest were either arrested or killed.
Even quite a few capable rogue ninjas were no exception. As long as it was confirmed that someone had committed a serious crime in the capital, Uchiha Feng would personally lead Uchiha Mikio and the Guard Corps to gang up on them.
Under such circumstances, the capital's prisons were nearly packed to capacity.
Among these criminals, one Chunin, one Genin, and two highly skilled samurai were captured alive and intact, then secretly sent to Feng's home.
That night, all four criminals vanished without a trace.
Uchiha Mikio, whose strength after being revived through Impure World Reincarnation had only reached Chunin level due to the poor sacrifice, was reincarnated once more.
This time, with the Genin as the sacrifice, Uchiha Mikio's strength after the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu barely returned to the peak he had possessed in life.
But with the endless chakra and infinite regeneration granted by the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu added in, he had even far surpassed his peak while alive.
As for the remaining three criminals, they were naturally used to reincarnate Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Rin Nohara, and Kushina Uzumaki.
The weakest among them, Rin Nohara, was awakened immediately after being reincarnated. Feng then controlled her as the caster and arranged for her to perform an eye-removal operation on him.
First, he controlled Rin Nohara into removing Feng's One-Tomoe Sharingan, leaving him blind for a while.
Then he immediately consumed the Copy Card that had copied Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version, allowing Feng to successfully master the Susanoo capable of piloting a giant mech.
After that, he had Rin Nohara put the Sharingan back in.
The entire process took only one day. For Rin Nohara, who had replaced Kakashi's Sharingan before, the operation was not difficult. That was also the main reason Uchiha Feng wanted to reincarnate Rin Nohara.
This seemingly absurd procedure of making himself suffer by removing his own eyes and then putting them back actually exploited a minor bug in the Copy Card. By taking advantage of the fact that no eyes meant no ocular power, he successfully turned the Susanoo, which originally consumed enormous amounts of ocular power and chakra, into a divine technique that consumed only chakra.
In the end, the reincarnated Rin Nohara, having completed Feng's operation, was not released. Instead, she was sealed away in a corner.
The reason was simple: he feared his information would leak.
After all, at this point, Orochimaru and Konoha's Root were already researching Impure World Reincarnation. Feng's digging up Rin Nohara's grave had not exactly been secret, so Konoha would uncover it before long.
In that case, Feng might release Rin back to the Pure Land with his front foot, only for someone unknown to reincarnate her again with their back foot. Wouldn't that expose plenty of his secrets to others?
After all, even if those reincarnated through Impure World Reincarnation were controlled by the caster throughout their actions, they still retained their consciousness and knew perfectly well what they had done while under control.
So, for his own safety, Feng could only let Rin Nohara suffer this injustice.
As for Second Hokage Tobirama Senju and Kushina Uzumaki, who had been reincarnated through Impure World Reincarnation, neither had been awakened by Feng.
The reason for not awakening Kushina was that Feng currently had no need for her to do anything. He would need her help later; for now, he was merely reserving a spot in advance, lest Konoha reincarnate her before he needed her.
Moreover, because the task he needed Kushina's help with required considerable strength, the only Chunin captive under Feng's command had been used as the sacrifice for reincarnating Kushina.
There was only one reason he did not awaken Tobirama Senju: he feared losing control.
After all, the original anime had already shown that Tobirama could remove the control of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu on his own.
On top of Tobirama's prejudice against the Uchiha Clan, if Feng awakened the reincarnated Tobirama, he feared the man would greet him with a Flying Thunder God Slash the instant he woke up.
That would be fucking hilarious. He would become the stupidest transmigrator ever.
In any case, Feng had reincarnated Tobirama Senju solely to copy the Flying Thunder God Technique from him.
As long as Tobirama's body was there and Feng could touch it, the Copy Card could copy the ninjutsu on him. There was no need to awaken him first.
Therefore, Feng had no reason to risk losing control by awakening the reincarnated Tobirama Senju.
After copying Flying Thunder God Technique — Tobirama Senju Version, the three Copy Cards given to Feng by his mother on Blue Star when he transmigrated had all been used up.
They had copied the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu from Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Susanoo from Uchiha Fugaku, and the Flying Thunder God Technique from Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Among them, the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, which did not quite suit his wishes but was Feng's best option, had been used early on and turned into his own technique.
The Flying Thunder God Technique and Susanoo, which suited his wishes but were not the best choices, had only seen the card copying the Susanoo used and turned into his own technique.
Even though it was Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version, without the various divine artifacts of future Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo, and its dark crimson color was not one Feng particularly liked.
It was still Susanoo. In this era, before the Fourth Shinobi World War when all kinds of cheats flew everywhere, even a bare-bones Susanoo was one of the most powerful ninjutsu.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about it. Itachi's Susanoo would not appear until the Uchiha Clan massacre was near, and Feng could not wait around for that beast just to obtain a stronger Susanoo.
So for now, and for a long time to come, Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo would be the only Susanoo Feng could choose. After all, there was not even an alternative candidate.
Besides, Feng was not particularly interested in those so-called divine artifacts that came with Susanoo.
The defensive Yata Mirror would be practically useless to him once he had the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future.
The sealing Totsuka Blade would likewise have little use once he planned to recruit Karin Uzumaki as his subordinate.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally better to use Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version first and enjoy the thrill of piloting a giant mech.
Unfortunately, Feng could not properly enjoy that thrill yet.
His chakra reserves were too low. At full chakra, he could only maintain the initial Susanoo form, consisting of just arms and ribs, for five seconds.
Fortunately, Feng already had a solution in mind. Once he had completely taken control of the Tea Country capital, he would properly resolve it.
As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, because it was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Version, Feng currently regarded it as a backup. He would only use it if he failed to copy the Flying Thunder God Technique from Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze in the future.
The reason was naturally that Tobirama Senju was not nearly as skilled at using the Flying Thunder God Technique as Minato Namikaze, even though Tobirama Senju had created it.
Anyone who had watched the anime knew that Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique was roughly equivalent to a teleport in League of Legends. It could provide rapid support, but it had long startup and recovery delays.
Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, on the other hand, was more like Flash—whoosh, whoosh, he vanished, with practically no startup or recovery delay.
For now, Feng was still relatively safe and had no urgent need for the Flying Thunder God Technique. Naturally, he could wait a little longer and plan for the better option.
