Currently, the Chinoike Clan has fewer than a thousand members in total, and with the deterioration of the natural environment in Hell Valley, Uchiha Fucheng suspects it is hard to say if there are even five hundred of these Ketsuryugan users left.
Even with the recuperation in recent years and an increase in the number of people awakening the Ketsuryugan, the number of Ninjas the Chinoike Clan can assemble will not exceed one hundred.
Among them, those at the Jonin level might not even be one-tenth of the total.
And the number of personnel Uchiha Fucheng approved for this battle, excluding Uchiha Kagami and his son, is a full 14 Jonin.
In terms of high-end combat power, they completely crush the Ketsuryugan clan.
Coupled with the existence of Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shinji, who can suppress Jonin, theoretically, there is no problem with slaughtering the entire Ketsuryugan clan.
"The side effects of the Ketsuryugan's Bloodline Limit are too great, and there are too many restrictions; there is no need to collect organs." Uchiha Fucheng pointed at the map with a senbon, his words becoming increasingly cold.
"We, the Uchiha, do not need those old guys whose ideologies have already set.
Regarding their Jonin, keep one or two who have gentle personalities and are willing to sit down and talk. Kill the others, and hand the corpses over to the Land of Lightning to be used as mission settlement items."
Uchiha Shinji's expression was conflicted, seemingly unable to bear it. "If we do this, will it be...?"
Uchiha Kagami immediately stopped his son.
"Shinji, in fact, Patriarch Uchiha Fucheng saying this is to give more of the Chinoike Clan a chance to live."
Uchiha Shinji was stunned.
He did not expect his father, who had the gentlest personality, to say such a thing.
Uchiha Kagami looked at him gently. "The first thing I learned from the Second Hokage was that people who are too cautious about killing often end up causing more deaths."
"Ah?!" Uchiha Shinji was somewhat confused.
But Uchiha Fucheng heard Kagami's words and revealed an intrigued smile.
Uchiha Kagami continued, "Yes, the Jonin of the Chinoike Clan are the true decision-makers of this group. If we do not eliminate the decision-makers who influence the entire group, the ordinary civilians, the women without combat power, and the young Ninjas cannot determine their own fate."
Kagami's meaning was very clear: if they were too soft-hearted, as long as those Jonin gave the order, these women and children of the Chinoike Clan, even if empty-handed, would still bite at the Uchiha Ninjas.
Uchiha Shinji, who was listening silently, was greatly shocked.
After all, he had experienced numerous battles, and referring to the battles he had seen, the final outcome of the Chinoike Clan would very likely be exactly as his father described.
The men, women, and children of the entire clan, kidnapped onto the chariot of "revenge," would be slaughtered to the last by the Uchiha.
Feeling somewhat self-deprecating, Uchiha Shinji realized his own shallowness and sincerely apologized with a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Father, Patriarch, I guarantee I will not interfere with the decision-making of this mission. Lacking strategic thinking, I will definitely be cautious in my words and actions from today on. I will carry out the mission diligently. Please trust my determination and execution."
His attitude and sincere apology made Uchiha Fucheng feel deeply gratified.
There is nothing more terrifying than encountering a "saint," especially when one appears on your own side.
Uchiha Fucheng signaled to Uchiha Kagami with his eyes not to give Uchiha Shinji any hints.
Then he asked in a serious tone, "Shinji, let me ask you then, where are we going to use the one or two Jonin we keep?"
This question seemed to leave Uchiha Shinji, who had never dealt with "conspiracy theories," somewhat bewildered.
But as an Uchiha with top-tier talent, his intelligence and logical ability far exceeded that of ordinary Ninjas.
Soon, Uchiha Shinji found the breakthrough point from the various pieces of information.
"Patriarch, are you saying...? You want to let them deal with the nobles of the Land of Lightning?"
After he finished speaking, Uchiha Fucheng smiled with satisfaction.
Konoha's victory over the Land of Rain had caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation to soar.
Currently, the new generation of "Sannin" who are famous in the Ninja World are all direct disciples of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the title of "Professor of Ninjutsu" is truly well-deserved!
But when he summoned his disciples to discuss the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the nobles of the Land of Fire, he found that all his disciples had asked for leave from him.
They either claimed to be unwell or were at a critical moment in their experiments and could not get away.
Take Jiraiya, for instance; he had even taken an annual long leave early on, abandoned his identity as a Konoha Ninja, and went off to travel and write books somewhere unknown.
Without his disciples to discuss with, he could only go to notify Danzo Shimura.
But unexpectedly, Danzo Shimura's Root subordinates also gave the somewhat strange reason that "Lord Danzo is out on official business."
He is the Hokage of Konoha; why didn't he know that "Danzo is out on official business"?
Furthermore, Root was controlling Danzo's whereabouts in every aspect, keeping it strictly confidential from him, the Hokage.
They wouldn't even say where Danzo Shimura had gone.
In the office, the various items scattered on the desk made Hiruzen Sarutobi even angrier. He wanted to push everything in front of him onto the floor!
"Danzo! I am the Hokage!" the Third Hokage muttered in a venting manner.
In the empty room, the sound of Hiruzen Sarutobi's own voice echoed.
For the first time, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that without Danzo's phrase "You will regret this," something seemed to be missing.
He felt somewhat lonely.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the "Strongest Hokage of Konoha," felt "powerless" for the first time.
Clang! Clang-clang!
Three knocks with a special rhythm!
It let Hiruzen Sarutobi know that an AnbuNinja had entered.
This time, the Anbu brought the latest intelligence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi only glanced at it, and was so excited he almost threw the scroll away. "What is going on? Did Root just receive this?"
The brown-haired Anbu nodded slightly and answered seriously, "The [Feather] we planted has successfully become a regular member of the Root communication squad. This is the message he just sent back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.
"The three Ninja Hawks carried by Danzo Shimura flew back to the Root base hungry because they couldn't find their master?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered the deep meaning behind it. "And the information carried by the Ninja Hawks was the message from five days ago to gather personnel and meet in the Land of Grass?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paced back and forth twice and continued to order, "Go and summarize all the intelligence regarding the Land of Grass from the last ten days and hand it to me."
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were narrowed in thought.
He already felt uneasy.
It seemed as if an invisible giant hand was circling wantonly above Konoha Village.
Communication Ninja Hawks, Reverse Summoning Jutsu, short-range walkie-talkies.
These are the mainstream communication methods of the Uchiha Clan, and also of the current Konoha Village.
The speed of information exchange is slow, real-time two-way communication is impossible, and long-distance real-time communication cannot be carried out.
These are all important problems faced by communication in the Ninja World.
But with Uchiha Fucheng obtaining the important "Bolu Bolu" den den mushi reward, this history will be rewritten.
The den den mushi from the One Piece system, although they look like snails, are truly bugs, and are simple to raise and not complicated to breed.
He arranged for several Misaka Sisters to open a special breeding area directly on the Stardew Valley farm to implement the Uchiha Clan's "den den mushi Cultivation Plan."
The physical items rewarded by the system were two pairs of adult den den mushi, about 45 centimeters in length.
Attached were 3,000 den den mushi eggs.
Under the joint care of the Misaka Sisters and Uchiha Ninjas, two batches have been successfully hatched, totaling nearly 1,600.
At this time, the newly hatched den den mushi are only the size of a walnut.
They need nutritional supplements and increased feeding efforts until they grow to a body length of over 22 centimeters before the den den mushi can undertake long-distance communication tasks.
These little guys, which look like snails and have spots or stripes on their bodies, sleep when not talking.
When connected, they wake up and make a "Bolu Bolu" sound.
During a call, the mouth of the den den mushi moves just like the speaker's mouth, imitating the speaker's expressions and actions.
Their working principle is to convert human voices into the bio-electric waves of the den den mushi for long-distance transmission and reception.
The frequency of this bio-electricity and the method of interaction immediately aroused Mikoto's curiosity.
The den den mushi uses bio-electric waves as the transmission medium, and each den den mushi has its own unique electric wave frequency in its body. From this point of view, they are very similar to the operating mode of the Misaka Sisters in the Misaka Network.
It's just that the communication distance of the Misaka Sisters is far smaller than that of the den den mushi.
Mikoto referred to this electric wave frequency and began to conduct networking experiments with the Misaka Sisters.
She wanted the Misaka Sisters to be able to perform real-time long-distance mutual transmission via the Misaka Network even when not using den den mushi.
As long as this is achieved, the Misaka Sisters will be able to transmit information across the entire Ninja World anytime, anywhere, and eventually form a Misaka Network that covers the entire Ninja World.
From the Misaka Network, Mikoto obtained a powerful computing power bonus. Mikoto's current strength is worlds apart compared to when she was a Chunin.
Now, she can even mobilize the Misaka Network to memorize a strange book ten centimeters thick in one minute.
Of course, this memory is stored in a distributed manner in the brains of multiple Misaka Sisters.
But combined with Mikoto's current Sharingan ability, she only needs to activate the Misaka Network bonus and scan the surroundings with her Sharingan, and she can accurately state the details of all items in all directions around her.
This terrifying memory, calculation ability, and logical analysis ability are already very close to the level of [Hyperthymesia].
It is just that calling upon this Misaka Network will impose a very heavy mental burden on Mikoto; otherwise, Mikoto would certainly be able to possess Kage-level or even Six Paths-level abilities.
If there were no side effects, she could activate her high-dimensional thinking for a long time, and Mikoto could almost rival a "humanoid computer."
Just now, in the process of researching the den den mushi, Mikoto briefly used the super computing power of the Misaka Network.
In just one minute, she made quite a few discoveries.
Especially when trying to use bio-electric waves to communicate with the Misaka Network, Mikoto was pleasantly surprised to find that her current communication coverage distance had already exceeded the entire Konoha.
The several Misaka Sisters stationed in Stardew Valley, who were originally outside the communication range, can now have real-time conversations with Mikoto's main body.
The expansion of communication distance has another additional advantage.
That is, the electromagnetic wave reconnaissance range built through the Misaka Network has also achieved a leap-forward improvement thanks to this technological breakthrough.
10KM, 20KM, 50KM...
Mikoto linked with the Misaka Network and performed an electromagnetic wave scan of Konoha and its surrounding areas at full power for the first time.
Puff!
Two streams of nosebleed flowed down.
This startled Uchiha Fucheng, who instantly flashed over to support the swaying Mikoto.
"Stop first!"
Mikoto's eyes were dazed, and she smiled sheepishly at her somewhat rash experiment.
"I was careless. The speed of the range expansion was too fast, and the scanned information rushed into my brain like an explosion, making me dizzy."
Uchiha Fucheng hugged Mikoto worriedly. "Don't speak yet, I'll treat you first."
The Mangekyo Sharingan's [Okuninushi-no-Mikoto] ability immediately covered Mikoto's injured head.
Mikoto's complexion recovered visibly to the naked eye. The side effects of the information overload just now also began to fade.
"Don't be so reckless next time. Experiment bit by bit. Especially when I'm not around, you are strictly forbidden from experimenting with abilities that might overload." Mikoto laughed carelessly, with a bit of a boyish stubbornness.
But seeing Uchiha Fucheng a bit serious, she leaned against Uchiha Fucheng's chest affectionately and rubbed her head obediently.
"I'll be careful next time, but the reconnaissance just now discovered something good!"
