Bird Country Settled

After Toki and Chishima were controlled by Uchiha and Shōya using Yōhei Sharingan, the oppressive atmosphere inside the Daimyo Palace began to dissipate.

Then, the two who were being controlled straightened their somewhat disheveled clothes, regained their composure, walked up to Feng, and knelt down on one knee without any hesitation.

"Your subordinate Toki, greets your master."

"Your subordinate, Chishima, awaits your command."

Feng smiled noncommittally, "Shōya, Yōhei, don't be silly."

The countries we recently occupied, including Beth, Po, and Feng, are still being digested and not yet fully controlled due to a shortage of manpower.

Therefore, the current Land of Birds Feng cannot spare many people to help in the short term, and everything can only be controlled by Shōya and Yōhei themselves.

To the north of the Land of Birds lies the Land of Earth, one of the Five Great Nations, and to the east lies the Land of Rain, the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization.

If Shōya and Yōhei are not careful, their control over the Toki and the Chishima could easily be exposed.

"Yes, Master!"

We must be extremely cautious.

Upon hearing this, Shōya and Yōhei immediately lowered their heads and admitted their mistake.

As one of the most outstanding members of the Uchiha Clan's new generation in recent years, being intelligent and not reckless is the bare minimum requirement.

Feng nodded with satisfaction, then casually found a chair and sat down, saying calmly:

"I have already told you about how I gradually gained control of the Tea Country over the years."

The situation in the Land of Birds is quite similar to what I experienced back then.

Following the same rebellion, a female daimyo rose to power; the same female daimyo had a man by her side; and, similarly, a veteran official who had served three dynasties.

"If you two still can't understand it after all this, you might as well gouge out your Sharingan and change your surname, so as not to bring shame to your clan."

"Master, we understand what to do." Yōhei, the stronger of the two, took the lead and replied to Feng.

"Oh?! Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"First of all, since there is someone like Chishima who is similar to your Master back then, what Shōya and I need to do is to play the role of Mikio back then, completely hiding behind the scenes."

"Hmm! Not bad." Feng's eyes lit up, and he agreed with Yōhei's words.

"Secondly, although Chishima is similar to your status back then, Master, he is quite weak in both strength and personality, and is incapable of leading troops to kill people."

On the contrary, the veteran minister of the Land of Birds, Kōmei, who served three reigns, was both a samurai and the strategist of the previous Sagi, possessing both courage and wisdom.

Therefore, what I need to do next is to control the Toki to gradually hand over all the internal affairs of the Land of Birds to the Chishima controlled by Shōya, and then continuously have Kōmei deal with those who oppose the Chishima' rule in the name of the daimyo.

Ultimately, he turned the Land of Birds into a one-man show, a veritable kingdom of Chishima.

Thus, when you, Master, take over the Land of Birds, and with the First Minister, Chishima, who controls the government, surrendering first, the Land of Birds will have virtually no power to resist."

"Haha, well said! Looks like you've really been studying hard!"

Now, Feng was completely amazed by Yōhei.

Finally, another one with brains has appeared in the Uchiha.

"Master, you flatter me. Everything is thanks to your protection. Otherwise, the Uchiha have perished in Konoha long ago, let alone be where we are today."

Despite being overjoyed by the repeated praise, Yōhei maintained his composure and respectfully greeted Feng.

This wasn't just his idea; it was also the shared thought of Uchiha Shōya, who was standing nearby, and several other Uchiha at the Imperial Residence gate.

Feng's strength is obvious, and everyone can see it with a test. As for Feng's wisdom, the more people who use their brains to understand him, the more they admire him. The Uchiha Clan, which Feng has brought to its current glory, worships him like a god and blindly follows him with fanaticism.

(Feng: I have the intelligence of an ordinary office worker, but the Ninja World is a low point in terms of intelligence and morality. I can just copy a couple of historical events and I'm far ahead of them. They treat me like a god. What can I do!)

"Anything else to add?"

Feng looked at Yōhei with expectant eyes, wondering if there would be any even bigger surprises.

"This... Master, these are all I can think of. If I have missed anything, please Master it out."

However, it is clear that Yōhei's transformation from the arrogant, conceited, and extreme Uchiha into a thoughtful and patient Uchiha is already a qualitative leap for the Uchiha Clan.

To make further demands would be unrealistic.

"Hehe, that's already pretty good."

What you said is actually not overlooked under normal circumstances, but there is an abnormal situation next to the Land of Birds.

Therefore, while the Land of Birds will do as you just said, you and Shōya must be extremely careful to conceal your identities, especially to prevent the Land of Birds from having any contact with the Akatsuki organization or the Amegakure.

If the people of "Akatsuki" really try to break in here, I want you to retreat using Reverse Summoning and avoid any contact with them.

"Master!?" Akatsuki... Is it really that scary?

But I remember that just a few months ago they were defeated by you Kazue together."

Feng's excessive caution towards "Xiao" puzzled Yōhei greatly.

"Scarsome? Heh, not at all."

I just still have some plans for the future that I need their help to complete.

"If we expose ourselves too early and 'Xiao' doesn't go as expected, we'll suffer a huge loss."

Feng briefly explained.

"I see. I understand now. I will certainly follow your instructions."

"Me too!"

Yōhei immediately agreed, Shōya followed closely behind.

Although Feng didn't explain it clearly, knowing that there was a reason for it was enough for the two of them.

'After all, no one can match the wisdom of our Master, and he has seen the future countless times. Whatever he does, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.'

When the Master is willing to explain, that's when everyone can know.

Master is unwilling to say more, it must be because we are not qualified to know.

Whether it was Yōhei or anyone else, they all firmly believed this.

"Okay, go and call Naogō, Kōji, and the others over."

Next, we will combine our Genjutsu to erase all memories of us from everyone in the Daimyo Palace tonight.

Then the two of you can relax and gradually take control of the Land of Birds.

"I should also take the others to catch up with Ao and see if there are any countries left to take advantage of behind Naruto Uzumaki."

"Yes, Master."

Shōya was slightly weaker, immediately accepted the order and went to the gate of the Imperial Residence to call out to Naogō, Kōji, and the other two groups of Uchiha.

While Yōhei stepped aside to wait quietly, he continued to strengthen the control effect on Toki, the female daimyo of the Land of Birds.

In the Ninja World, it's not difficult to erase part of someone's memory using Genjutsu; the challenge lies in erasing memories without damaging the other person's brain.

Feng and the others had no such concerns and could just get started, so they completed the spell in no time.

"Huh? How did I end up lying on the ground?"

Am I drunk?

When the people of the Land of Birds, who had lost their memories of Feng leading the invasion of the Daimyo Palace, woke up, they were all quite puzzled.

"Everyone, the reason you were unconscious just now is because Mōsō's remnants put sleeping pills in your food and drink."

Fortunately, Chishima was cautious and had hidden two hired ninjas beforehand.

"Now that the remnants of Mōsō's faction have been eliminated by the two ninjas, everyone is safe."

However, Toki and Chishima, who were already controlled by the Sharingan, used a pre-prepared excuse and their own identities to cover up the matter.

However, everyone should be thankful that they accepted this reason.

Otherwise, he didn't actually leave. Instead, he stood at the highest point of the Land of Birds's capital, overlooking the Daimyo Palace, and together with Feng, Uchiha Naogō, Kōji, and others, he would have made a cameo appearance as Itachi crouching on a telephone pole.

Suddenly, a pitcher plant slowly rose from the floor behind Feng.

Feng glanced sideways and said calmly:

"White Zetsu, I didn't expect you to find this place. Who sent you?"

Upon hearing this, White Zetsu grinned and pulled out a sealing scroll from his person.

Naogō, Kōji, and the others immediately drew their weapons, staring at White Zetsu, and shielding Feng behind them with wary eyes.

"It's alright, put it away. It won't dare to cause trouble, otherwise Black Zetsu would be crying."

Feng waved his hand dismissively, signaling everyone to disperse.

He and Black Zetsu have pretty much laid their cards on the table, so there's no need to hide anything from them about the Land of Birds.

"Lord Feng, Lord Jue asked me to bring this to you."

He also asked me to tell you that he has only found body parts of Uchiha Mikoto, Nawaki, and Pakura so far. As for the body parts of Asura, Indra, and Izuna Uchiha that you requested, there are currently no leads.

If you are willing to wait, we can continue to help you search, but we cannot guarantee that we will find it.

White Zetsu then spoke up.

"Search? Of course we'll keep searching. If we can't find you, I'll have Black Zetsu hang you all back up in the tree."

Having obtained the materials for the Impure World Reincarnation of Mikoto Uchiha and Nawaki using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Feng should have been happy. However, in order to fool Black Zetsu, he pretended to be dissatisfied and vented his anger on White Zetsu.

White Zetsu: "..."

Speechless for a moment, and feeling fear for the first time, he quickly sank into the ground and ran away.

Although White Zetsu is only half-plant and half-biological and has no emotions, it should theoretically be fearless.

But Feng revealed the only thing it feared—hanging back on the God Tree.

Ordinary people can hang on the God Tree to cosplay as a 'teru teru bozu' and immerse themselves in Genjutsu world to dream, but White Zetsu. While hanging on the God Tree, White Zetsu can think, but he can't move or speak, which is incredibly boring.

Therefore, no White Zetsu that has experienced the joy of speaking after coming down from the God Tree would want to be hung back on the God Tree.
