Everyone suddenly understood, looking at Shine with admiration.
This move not only saved the Clan Members and framed the enemy but also tied up the Konoha High Command. It was truly killing three birds with one stone.
"On the western battlefield, Uchiha Takuma is surrounded by Hidden Mist bloodline limit Ninja and is on the verge of death. His Sharingan is about to awaken the Three-Tomoe!" Crimson's message came again, her tone tinged with urgency.
Shine's eyes narrowed. Awakening the Three-Tomoe at the brink of death—such talent absolutely could not be wasted.
"Yan, Genki, come with me. Qi and the Hien sisters, stay behind to look after Night of Power and clean up the traces." He flickered, rushing out first, his Mangekyo Sharingan operating at its peak, anticipating every movement on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, artillery fire continued, and the slaughter had not stopped. No one noticed several dark figures disguised as Root members secretly harvesting the dying Uchiha combatants, like hunters in the night, both ruthless and precise.
And the "Root traces" they left behind were quietly stirring up a new storm in the Ninja World.
Shine looked at Takuma, whom he had rescued, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face beneath his mask—Konoha wanted the Uchiha to be completely depleted in this war, but he insisted on making the Uchiha rise against the tide in the flames of war.
In the trench, Uchiha Night of Power slowly opened his eyes. In a blur, he saw several figures dressed in Root uniforms, his heart filled with fear and doubt.
He didn't know what he was about to face, but he didn't realize that this "abduction" would be a brand new beginning for his destiny.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building far away, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still anxious about the assembly of reinforcements, completely unaware that his calculations had already been thoroughly disrupted by a larger conspiracy.
After seven days of fierce fighting, fifty-three Uchiha embers were finally preserved.
When the last Clan Member, whose Chakra had been sealed, was carried into the secret base by Qi, Shine took off his Root mask, stained with gunpowder. His face showed fatigue, but his eyes glowed with a burning light.
Among these fifty-three, there were seven Three-Tomoe Sharingan wielders—all elites who had broken through after bloody battles on the front lines. The remaining forty-odd people were either Two-Tomoe or One-Tomoe, and even the weakest had reached Chunin level. Such a clustered fighting force was enough to become a hidden chess piece that could shake the situation.
"Immediately send them to the specially made stone cells on the west side. Hien, Crimson, they're yours now." Shine's tone was solemn as he pointed to a row of reinforced cells deep within the karst cave (karst cave). "First, stabilize their injuries with Medical Ninjutsu and repair their Chakra pathways. Do not remove the Seals for now—I need time to confirm their loyalty."
Hien and Crimson nodded in acknowledgment. The two sisters tacitly took out special medical scrolls, their fingertips condensing gentle yet highly penetrating Chakra.
Unlike ordinary Medical Ninjutsu, the sisters' specialty, "Twin Healing Meridian Art," could precisely repair life-threatening injuries and disordered Chakra nodes without removing the Chakra Seals.
One was responsible for debridement and suturing, the other for clearing the Meridians. Pale green Chakra enveloped the injured like flowing water. Those deep bone-visible knife wounds and scorch marks from Ninjutsu began to scab over and heal within just a few hours.
Inside the stone cell, Uchiha Night of Power leaned against the stone wall, feeling the gentle guidance of the chaotic Chakra within him, and the penetrating pain in his left arm gradually subsided.
He looked at the busy Hien sisters outside the cell door, then at the light blue glowing Seal on his wrist, his brows furrowed: "Were we rescued, or are we imprisoned?"
Uchiha Takuma, beside him, had just woken from a coma. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan flashed a hint of red in the dim stone cell, his voice wary: "These people are wearing Uchiha clothes, but they've locked us in here... What exactly does Lord Shine want to do?"
Similar questions spread among the fifty-three Clan Members.
Some of them had personally witnessed the illusion of "Root" abducting their comrades, and others harbored doubts about this suddenly appearing Uchiha Genius—after all, Shine's father was Uchiha Senba, a powerful figure who had long since distanced himself from the center of power but held extremely high prestige within the Clan. Although Shine himself was exceptionally talented, he rarely appeared before Clan Members.
Especially the seven Three-Tomoe powerhouses, who secretly circulated their Chakra, attempting to break through the Seal—but this Seal was personally cast by Shine, integrating Mangekyo dōjutsu and Uchiha secret techniques. In their current state, they couldn't possibly shake it.
"Don't waste your energy." Crimson walked into the cell, carrying a bowl of medicinal soup, and handed the ceramic bowl to Night of Power, her voice clear and cold. "If Lord Shine wanted to harm you, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to rescue you from the battlefield, nor would he have let us sisters expend Chakra to heal your injuries.
The temporary sealing is for safety, and the confinement is for screening—on the battlefield, hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that there aren't any pawns loyal to Konoha among you?"
These words struck a chord with everyone.
After years on the front lines, the Uchiha Clan Members had long seen through the Konoha High Command's apprehension and suppression, but there were indeed some within the Clan who still held illusions about "protecting Konoha."
Silence fell over the stone cell. Some bowed their heads in thought, some had flickering eyes, and others still looked unwilling.
The sisters' treatment lasted for three days. During this time, Shine would inspect the stone cells daily but never spoke to the Clan Members, merely observing everyone's expressions and actions through the iron bars of the cell door with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He memorized the names of the seven Three-Tomoe Ninja—Uchiha Takuma, Night of Power, Cangjie, Lin, Zhengsi, Yahiko, and Mahiro—all elites secretly trained by his father, Lord Senba, in his early years, and also the rare core strength within the Clan who firmly believed in the concept of "Uchiha Supremacy."
When the last Clan Member's injuries healed, the atmosphere inside the stone cell grew even heavier.
All fifty-three were battle-hardened Ninja, and even with their Chakra sealed, they could feel the powerful aura emanating from each other.
The seven Three-Tomoe powerhouses subtly formed their own small groups, while the other Clan Members either attached themselves or observed. The entire stone cell was like a powder keg poised to explode, needing only a spark to ignite it.
Shine knew it was time to break the deadlock.
Dressed in Uchiha Clan attire, he walked into the stone cell area alone, followed by Yan and Aka, their Chakras forming an invisible pressure.
"I know you harbor resentment and doubt," Shine's voice echoed through the empty stone cell, clearly reaching everyone's ears. "But I can tell you clearly that from the moment Konoha sent you to the battlefield as expendable resources, your destiny should be controlled by yourselves, by the Uchiha—this has also been the wish of my father, Lord Senba, for many years."
