Starting Out With Indra's Chakra, Section 7

"Which Ninja Village is planning to attack us?"

After pondering for a while, Uzumaki Akira asked Liu Feng.

"Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and perhaps Shimura Danzō as well."

"Utter nonsense. Lord Danzo is from Konoha. Why would he come after our Uzumaki clan?" Uzumaki Akira sneered at Liu Feng.

"You should know what kind of person Danzo is. Is it strange for him to target you for profit?"

This time, Uzumaki Akira surprisingly did not refute Liu Feng. He knew Danzo was no good person. Danzo had asked the Uzumaki clan for Sealing Jutsu several times before.

However, Sealing Jutsu was the foundation of the Uzumaki clan's survival, so naturally they could not hand it over to Danzo.

"Besides, Danzo is Danzo, and Konoha is Konoha. Don't confuse the two," Liu Feng reminded Uzumaki Akira.

"If you want me to believe you, then show me evidence. Also, what is your purpose?"

After pondering for a while longer, Uzumaki Akira spoke to Liu Feng again.

"I truly can't provide evidence. As for my purpose, I can tell you. The Uchiha clan wants to cooperate with the Uzumaki clan."

"Cooperate? Why would the Uchiha clan cooperate with us? Can you represent the Uchiha clan? If the Uchiha clan wants to cooperate with us and only sent you, that's hardly sincere." Uzumaki Akira spoke coldly.

Hearing this, Liu Feng gave Uchiha Cloud a look, and Uchiha Cloud instantly understood what Liu Feng meant.

"I am the Third Elder of the Uchiha clan," Uchiha Cloud said as he stepped forward.

Sending an elder was enough to demonstrate sincerity, wasn't it? However, though Uchiha Cloud appeared calm, he was actually somewhat anxious inside.

Liu Feng had directly said they wanted to cooperate with the Uzumaki clan, but he truly could not represent the Uchiha clan. Even Uchiha Cloud could not represent the Uchiha clan.

"Uzumaki Clan Head, the one seeking cooperation with your Uzumaki clan is not the entire Uchiha family, but me and the force behind me."

Liu Feng activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan and looked at Uzumaki Akira.

The Three Tomoe Sharingan truly shocked Uzumaki Akira. At such a young age, Liu Feng had already awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan, the limit of the ordinary Sharingan. In the future, he might even awaken the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.

After Uchiha Madara "died," the Mangekyō Sharingan had indeed become a legend. Although Kagami Uchiha, the Second Hokage's disciple, had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, not many people knew about it.

Much of the contempt in Uzumaki Akira's eyes vanished. Though Liu Feng was young, possessing the Three Tomoe Sharingan already qualified him to speak with Uzumaki Akira.

After all, his future potential was limitless, and there was a high chance that he would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"What does the Uchiha clan want to cooperate with the Uzumaki clan on?" Uzumaki Akira asked.

"There's no rush. We can discuss cooperation after the Uzumaki clan survives this crisis. If the Uzumaki clan cannot survive the crisis, there will be no need to discuss cooperation."

Liu Feng waved his hand as he spoke.

"You claim the Uzumaki clan faces a crisis that will wipe us out, yet you cannot provide evidence. It's difficult for me to believe you." Uzumaki Akira still did not believe Liu Feng's words.

"First, I have no reason to deceive you. There is nothing worth deceiving the Uzumaki clan over. Still, I understand that it will be difficult to make you believe me."

"How about this? If your Uzumaki clan encounters no crisis within seven days, I'll give you the Uchiha family's Fire Style Ninjutsu. But if you encounter a crisis, then after I help you overcome it, you must form an unconditional alliance with us."

Liu Feng's offer was very tempting. Though the Uzumaki clan primarily used Sealing Jutsu, that did not mean they could not use other Ninjutsu.

The Uchiha clan's Fire Style Ninjutsu was considered the best in the Ninja World. No one could compare to the Uchiha clan in Fire Style.

"It's a guaranteed profit for you. If you encounter no crisis within seven days, this scroll recording Fire Style Ninjutsu will belong to your Uzumaki clan. If you do encounter a crisis, I can help you. You can never lose."

"Fine, I agree." Uzumaki Akira chose to nod.

It truly was a deal with guaranteed profit for them. Why would he refuse? Could he really be fooled by a little brat?

"How many clan members does the Uzumaki clan have now?" Liu Feng asked Uzumaki Akira.

Uzumaki Akira frowned, but in the end, he told Liu Feng. It was not a secret that could not be revealed.

"Our Uzumaki clan has a total of 327 people."

"Over three hundred people. That's quite a lot. You wouldn't mind if I took some of them away, would you?" Liu Feng asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Uzumaki Akira's expression turned cold, and he seemed about to make a move.

Seeing this, Uchiha Cloud and Uchiha No quickly shielded Liu Feng behind them.

"It's fine, Uncle Cloud. Don't be nervous." Liu Feng still wore a smile as he faced Uzumaki Akira's cold expression.

"The reason I want to take some people away is for your own good. With them elsewhere, even if you encounter a crisis, the Uzumaki clan's legacy can be preserved."

"You don't need to worry that I'll harm them, either. First of all, the Uzumaki clan and Konoha are allies. There is no reason for the Uchiha clan to strike against you in secret. If we really did, it would be the Uchiha clan that suffered the loss."

"You should know the relationship between Konoha High Command and the Uchiha family. If we attacked you, we would be giving Konoha High Command an excuse to move against the Uchiha clan. I will not do something that brings no benefit."

Liu Feng laid the analysis out clearly for Uzumaki Akira.

"Of course, the choice is yours. We will stay here for three days and give you three days to consider. If you refuse after three days, then just pretend we were never here."

After speaking, Liu Feng walked out directly, with Uchiha Cloud and Uchiha No following behind him.

He had said all he needed to say. Everything now depended on their own choice. If they truly did not believe him, then so be it if this mission failed.

There was no penalty for mission failure. At most, he would lose the reward.

It would be best if he could obtain it, but if not, he had done his best.

He hoped Uzumaki Akira would agree. As long as he could take away more than fifty people and ensure their survival, his mission would be complete even if the other Uzumaki clan members died.

If Uzumaki Akira refused, then when the true clan-destruction crisis arrived, Liu Feng would not be able to save them either.

He could not save them. Without Kage-level strength, there was no way to stop the destruction of the Uzumaki clan through strength alone. He did not want to get himself killed.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. After staying in the Land of Whirlpools for three days, Liu Feng returned to the Uzumaki Clan Compound.

"I wonder what the Uzumaki Clan Head has decided?" Liu Feng asked Uzumaki Akira.

"I can agree to let you take away some clan members, but you must not let them suffer even the slightest harm. Otherwise, my Uzumaki clan will make your Uchiha clan pay the price."

Uzumaki Akira looked at Liu Feng expressionlessly.

A smile appeared on Liu Feng's face. Since Uzumaki Akira had agreed, completing his mission should no longer be a problem.

"But you must also make it clear. When will you bring my clan members back?"

"Don't worry. I'll take them away for no more than four days. I'll let them return after four days, provided your Uzumaki clan does not encounter a crisis."

Liu Feng was in a very good mood. The completion of the S-rank Mission was close at hand. With the 100,000 Points, the Uzumaki Sage Body, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains as rewards, Liu Feng would not be far from unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Of his three missions, the mission to Unlock Three Tomoe Sharingan had already been completed. Liu Feng had received 10,000 Points and Lightning Style: Chidori.

The Mangekyō Sharingan cost 150,000 Points. Once he completed this S-rank Mission, his Points would exceed 110,000, leaving him less than 40,000 Points away from exchanging for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Once he obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, Liu Feng would truly soar. In a few more years, his strength would naturally reach Kage-level.

"Also, I have one more condition."

Uzumaki Akira spoke while Liu Feng was celebrating.

Liu Feng felt a little annoyed, but he still endured it. I'm genuinely helping you, yet you're still here trying to negotiate terms with me.

"If the Uzumaki clan encounters no crisis after four days, then in addition to the Uchiha clan's Ninjutsu Scroll, you must provide resources worth 300 Million Ryo and sign a contract to prevent you from reneging afterward."

300 Million Ryo was no small sum. Even for a major clan, it was a substantial amount.

The Uzumaki clan had declined in recent years and was somewhat short on funds, so they needed money or resources.

"Fine, I agree to that."

Liu Feng had thought Uzumaki Akira would raise some excessive condition. Although it was indeed rather excessive, Liu Feng believed he was guaranteed to win, so the resources worth 300 Million Ryo were nothing more than a mention.

In the end, Uchiha Cloud personally signed the contract. Uzumaki Akira would not acknowledge it if Liu Feng signed it.

Although Liu Feng was the Great Elder's grandson, Uchiha Cloud's title as Third Elder was more useful in this situation. Even if he held little actual power, he could represent the Uchiha family to a certain extent.

After signing the contract, Uzumaki Akira handed 51 Clan Members over to Liu Feng. Originally, Uzumaki Akira had intended to give Liu Feng thirty people, but Liu Feng had spent considerable effort persuading him to hand over fifty-one.

As for why it was fifty-one people, the mission required ensuring the survival of at least fifty Uzumaki Clan Members. What if fifty people were not enough to complete the mission? So Liu Feng played it safe and asked for one more person.

"I advise the Uzumaki Clan Head to make preparations. Since I dared to sign that kind of contract with you, you should be able to tell whether my words are true or false. I advise you to take all your clan members and leave the Land of Whirlpools first."

As he departed, Liu Feng spoke to Uzumaki Akira.

However, Uzumaki Akira remained completely unmoved, at least on the surface.

Liu Feng was furious inside. He truly hoped more Uzumaki clan members would survive, because he sincerely wanted to form an alliance with the Uzumaki clan.

"Uzumaki Clan Head, when you truly encounter a crisis, take your clan members and flee. I will have people receive you in the Western Sea Area of the Land of Whirlpools."

"But I hope the Uzumaki Clan Head understands that we will prioritize our own safety then. If it is too dangerous, do not blame us for standing by and watching you die."

After saying this to Uzumaki Akira, Liu Feng left with his people.

Although the outcome was not the best result Liu Feng had expected, it was already quite good for him. At the very least, the mission was guaranteed to be completed.

Afterward, Liu Feng had the Uzumaki clan members alter their appearances, especially concealing their conspicuous red hair. Only after disguising them as ordinary civilians did he take them out of the Land of Whirlpools.

There were certainly spies in the Land of Whirlpools, so Liu Feng was extremely cautious. Even they removed their Konoha forehead protectors and took off clothes bearing the Uchiha clan crest, disguising themselves as civilians.

"Liu Feng, if the Uzumaki clan does not encounter danger, our Uchiha clan will suffer a huge loss." Uchiha Cloud spoke to Liu Feng.

If Liu Feng had not kept giving him desperate looks, Uchiha Cloud would never have signed that contract.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cloud. I won't harm the Uchiha clan's interests."

"I'll trust you this once, brat. If you get me trapped this time, I'll charge you ten times the bride price." Uchiha Cloud glared viciously at Liu Feng.

He still felt it was unreliable, but the contract had already been signed. It was too late to regret it now.

"What are you planning to do with them next?"

Uchiha Cloud glanced at the Uzumaki clan members and asked Liu Feng.

"First, we'll take them back to Konoha." Liu Feng was very cautious. Keeping them outside was never safe.
