Yashiro Uchiha Is Thoroughly Convinced

Yashiro Uchiha looked at the giant before him, like a god of war, swallowed hard, and felt a chill run through his heart.

Even his strongest A-rank ninjutsu, unleashed at full power, was not half as large as that giant.

The clan records said their ancestor Madara Uchiha had used this thing to beat the Nine-Tails like a dog.

Even if Feng was not as powerful as their ancestor, he should at least be able to fight the Nine-Tails to a draw, right?

With such tremendous strength, Yashiro felt that perhaps he should simply admit defeat and try believing what Feng had said before.

"Uncle Yashiro! Here I come! Hahaha!

Swordsmanship: Iaijutsu!"

Unfortunately, Feng had no intention of giving him the chance. Laughing loudly, he controlled Susanoo and launched an attack at Yashiro.

No man could refuse the joy of piloting a mech. Now that Feng was controlling Susanoo like a mech, of course he had to have some fun with it.

With a swift draw-and-slash, the earth was instantly carved open by a trench hundreds of meters long.

Facing this attack head-on, Yashiro Uchiha had to use every ounce of strength he had just to barely dodge this area-of-effect attack that was somehow a single-target attack aimed directly at him.

"Feng! I surrender!

Little Feng! I surrender! I surrender!"

Having dodged the attack, Yashiro Uchiha hurriedly shouted.

Seeing Susanoo preparing to unleash another sword technique, he feared that if he shouted even a second later, there would be nothing left of him but ashes.

Fight that thing?

Forget it!

Feng had said he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, while Yashiro only had the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. It was perfectly normal that he could not win, and losing was nothing shameful.

Their Uchiha Clan had always been this way: whoever possessed the more evolved eyes was stronger.

"..."

Hearing Yashiro Uchiha's shout, Feng was somewhat speechless.

He had not even had his fill of playing with this "Gundam," yet the battle was already over.

Unwilling to accept it, he could only vent on the nearby mountains and forests.

Sword Art: Cold Gleam—two neighboring mountains were pierced through in a single line.

Sword Technique: Dragon Flash—after a flurry of slashes, everything within nearly a thousand meters around him, grass and trees alike, had turned to ash, leaving behind a wasteland.

Sword Art: Downfall—with a strike that descended from the sky after leaping into the air, the hundred-meter trench created by the earlier iaijutsu slash became a massive crater.

Sword Technique: Sky Sever—a chakra sword aura a hundred meters wide directly cleaved through two mountains.

Sword Art: Cross Slash—Sky Sever followed by Dragon Flash after a Body Flicker, the resulting cross-shaped slash reduced the two mountaintops that Sky Sever had just sent flying into rubble.

Next came the Modified Great Fireball, its basin-sized Blazing Fireball Technique enlarged to several dozen meters by Susanoo, further turning the wasteland beneath its feet into scorched earth.

Finally, the Rasengan unleashed by Susanoo directly destroyed the half-cleaved mountain, turning it into yet another massive crater.

Yashiro Uchiha, who had already fled far away, widened his narrow eyes until they were round as bells.

Such power, such strength...

Unless Ancestor Madara were reborn, who could possibly rival him?

Why was Feng still wasting time outside on some plan to control a country? Would it not be simpler and faster to return to Konoha and steamroll everything?

After Feng played around for a while, the Nine-Tails' voice sounded in his mind again.

"Feng, in your current state, you can probably only go all out for ten minutes."

"Hm? What's the reason?"

Feng froze at those words and asked in confusion.

He did not believe that the Nine-Tails, which had supplied chakra to tens of thousands of Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War, would be exhausted just from supporting a Perfect Susanoo at full power for ten minutes.

There had to be another reason.

"Feng, you and I are only temporary partners.

We cannot truly understand each other's hearts, so our chakra cannot perfectly complement one another.

Therefore, your body can currently only receive enough chakra from me to fight at full strength for ten minutes.

Any more than that, and the consciousness within my chakra will devour your consciousness, causing you to go berserk and lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe.

Then, once your consciousness has been completely devoured by me, you will die and take me down with you."

The Nine-Tails patiently explained the reason.

This explanation left Feng helpless.

After all, he only regarded the Nine-Tails as a chakra power bank, and the secret that he was a transmigrator could never be revealed.

Therefore, truly understanding each other's hearts was absolutely impossible.

Fortunately, with his current strength, as long as he did not go out and stir up trouble recklessly, it was more than enough.

Moreover, in Feng's mind, the Nine-Tails was only temporarily sealed within him. In his future plans, he would not need the Nine-Tails at all.

Thus, maintaining the current state was acceptable.

"Alright, I understand.

Kurama, please keep an eye on that in the future. Don't let me go berserk.

If I can't win, I still have the Flying Thunder God to run away."

Having thought it through, Feng said this to the Nine-Tails.

"Hm?! You useless brat actually use the Flying Thunder God to run away...

If Tobirama and Minato found out, they would probably teleport over and chop you to pieces.

Heh, as long as you understand the situation, that's enough."

Upon hearing that, the Nine-Tails mocked him as usual before lowering its head indifferently.

After all, it was merely a sealed tailed beast. Other than saying a few things to vent, there was nothing else it could do. It could only rely on its jinchuriki.

"Feng! Little Feng! What's wrong with you?!"

In the distance, Yashiro Uchiha saw Uchiha Feng, who was controlling Susanoo, suddenly become completely motionless and hurriedly called out loudly.

After witnessing the strength Feng had just displayed, Yashiro had already moved Shisui, Tekka, and the other talented juniors in the clan far down in his mind.

Those geniuses were still merely geniuses at present. They needed time to grow, and no one knew how far they could eventually develop.

Yet Feng, who was about their age, had already grown into a towering tree.

Who was the true genius, and who deserved the clan's favor more? The choice was obvious.

By the time Feng heard the shouting, he had more or less finished talking with the Nine-Tails.

He then dismissed Susanoo, and his figure suddenly blurred.

Whoosh!

A crisp sound rang out not far from Yashiro Uchiha. He turned toward it, only to see that Feng had suddenly appeared nearby after being far away a moment ago.

"Flying Thunder God?!"

Yashiro Uchiha could not help but cry out, immediately understanding.

No wonder his Three-Tomoe Sharingan had been unable to see how Feng vanished during their spar.

"It was Minato's Flying Thunder God, wasn't it?!

Feng, that had to be the Flying Thunder God! It had to be!"

He questioned him repeatedly, though he had already concluded that Feng had used the Flying Thunder God Technique just now.

"Yes, the Flying Thunder God. It isn't as smooth as the Fourth Hokage's.

But overall, it is more or less the same."

Feng nodded in admission.

He had already used the Flying Thunder God in front of many people, so he had no intention of hiding it too carefully.

"Hahaha! Good! Wonderful!

The godly power of Susanoo and the Flying Thunder God that traverses space.

Hahaha! With those two things, who could possibly be your opponent?

Let's see who in Konoha dares give us Uchiha any attitude from now on.

Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Having received Feng's confirmation, Yashiro Uchiha laughed wildly without stopping.

"Hey, Uncle Yashiro, stop going on about Konoha all the time.

I wrote it very clearly in my letter.

I did not ask for your help because I wanted to find a way back to Konoha.

I wanted to discuss getting several people from the clan who are skilled at genjutsu to come help me.

No matter how impressive you are in Konoha, you are ultimately just a village chief. I am now the husband of the Tea Country's Daimyo and its actual ruler.

The ruler of a country or a village chief.

Uncle Yashiro, anyone could tell which one is better."

Hearing that, Feng could not help interrupting Yashiro Uchiha's wild laughter.

Konoha? A group of superhumans engaging in petty brawls at the village gate was beneath Feng's interest.

"Oh? Oh! Right! Right!

With your strength, Feng, you must see farther than we do.

Whatever you say, we'll do."

Yashiro Uchiha did not refute Feng's words. He merely nodded in agreement again and again.

At the same time, he thought to himself, Feng awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, possesses Susanoo with godly power, and can use the Flying Thunder God to traverse space. He is definitely stronger than trash like us in the clan who only have the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Listening to Feng can't be wrong.

As for the matter of someone previously doubting whether Feng possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, Yashiro claimed to know absolutely nothing about it.

Feng smiled at this, suddenly feeling that he had been too polite. When dealing with the Uchiha, he should not talk things out first and resort to violence only if negotiations failed. He should strike first and be polite afterward.

Look at Uchiha Sasuke in the original story. When he had only a One-Tomoe Sharingan, he ruled the Ninja Academy like a tyrant, acting as if he owned the world.

After leaving the academy, Kakashi easily put him in his place and taught him cooperation. Then Zabuza Momochi put him in his place and taught him to seek guidance.

Later, after awakening the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and Mangekyō Sharingan, he contributed multiple classic moments of, "The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and Uchiha Sasuke thinks he can do it again."

Therefore, Feng decided that whenever he spoke with clansmen in the future, he would state his purpose directly. Whoever disagreed would get beaten up on the spot. Reasoning with them after the beating would be far more efficient.

"Uncle Yashiro, do you really mean it? Whatever I say, you'll do?"

Feng looked at Yashiro Uchiha and asked with utmost seriousness.

He intended to replicate what he had done in the Tea Country in other nations next, and he had to ensure that those carrying out the plan were completely united.

Otherwise, if they were exposed, there might no longer be a place for the Uchiha Clan anywhere in the shinobi world.

"Uh... I'll listen to you from now on.

The entire security force under my command will listen to me too, so that should not be a problem.

But as for the others, you will need to persuade them personally. I cannot make the decision for them."

Yashiro Uchiha had wanted to agree immediately, but then remembered that he was merely a security force captain.

He could not make decisions for the other captains of equal rank, the elders, the Uchiha combat forces stationed outside, or the commander-in-chief, who was also the clan head.

Thus, he hurriedly pulled back his words before saying too much.

"It's fine. I do not need many people, just three who are exceptionally skilled at controlling others with genjutsu.

As I recall, one security force has ten squads.

Every squad captain has at least the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

It should not be difficult to find three among them who are skilled in genjutsu, right?"

Feng said.

Once the Bloody Mist Village rose again in Kirigakure soon, he planned to take control of the three island nations south of the Tea Country: the Land of Moon, the Land of Rainbow, and Southern Red State Island.

These three countries had originally followed the Land of Water and Kirigakure's lead.

When Kirigakure had not yet become the Bloody Mist Village, its shinobi had taken nearly all the missions in those three countries.

But after it became the Bloody Mist Village, Kirigakure's shinobi would no longer have time to take missions. Their concern would be how to survive within the village.

Thus, by then, there would be almost no obstacles to Feng taking control of those three countries.

Furthermore, the three countries were far from the shinobi continent, making them easier to conceal from discovery.

"Three people skilled in genjutsu?

That won't be a problem. I'll arrange for them to come over once I return."

After thinking briefly, Yashiro Uchiha immediately agreed.

The captains of Squads Nine, Five, Two, and Seven were all quite skilled in genjutsu. The captains of Squads Two and Seven even possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, so they should meet Feng's requirements.

"No, don't bring them over directly.

Once you have selected them, arrange for them to be sent to the battlefield base along the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

Then find a way to fake their deaths and make them disappear from Konoha's sight.

Afterward, have them come near Upper Leaf City and activate this. I'll use the Flying Thunder God to pick them up."

As he spoke, Feng handed Yashiro Uchiha two kunai bearing Flying Thunder God formulas.

"Keep the other one on you at all times so I can send you messages when necessary.

You are too well-known. If you fake your death, it may cause turmoil in the clan.

It is better for you to remain in Konoha and keep things as they are. I also have an important matter in the clan that I will need you to handle in the future."

"...Alright!"

Yashiro Uchiha fell silent for a moment before agreeing firmly.

He had originally wanted to follow Feng as well, but upon hearing that there was an important matter concerning the clan, he immediately decided to follow Feng's arrangements and return to Konoha with peace of mind.

"Heh, then I'll wait for your good news, Uncle Yashiro."

Feng immediately smiled and bid him farewell.

He had just played around with Perfect Susanoo here, causing far too much commotion. It would not be long before someone came to investigate.

And he did not want to reveal too much yet.

Thus, now that they had finished talking, the two of them needed to leave quickly.
