Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Subduing the Captives

At the mention of the name "Senba," many people in the stone prison stirred.

Senba's prestige within the Family didn't come from power, but from his years of silent dedication to fighting for the Clan Members' rights, and his unfathomable strength. Many elder Clan Members held him in deep respect.

Shine raised his hand, a wisp of Chakra condensed on his fingertip, and with a gentle touch, the Seal symbol on Night of Power's wrist dissipated into points of light.

"Among you, if anyone still wishes to return to Konoha and continue being their pawns, I can let you go—but I must warn you, the Konoha High Command will not trust a Uchiha who escaped from a 'Root abduction.' What awaits you will only be tighter surveillance and more brutal exploitation."

Night of Power flexed his wrist, Chakra flowed smoothly, and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan instantly lit up.

He didn't make a move immediately, but stared intently at Shine: "What do you want us to do? And what is Lord Senba's unfulfilled wish?"

Shine's lips curved into an arc, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "I want you to be loyal to the Uchiha, not to Konoha.

I will inherit my father's unfulfilled ambition (Note: refers to an uncompleted wish, but the person is not dead.), give you greater power, lead the Uchiha out of their oppressed fate, and make the Ninja World revere our Sharingan once more.

But the prerequisite is — you must absolutely obey my commands and dedicate everything to the Family's rise."

Silence once again fell over the stone prison, broken only by the sound of breathing and the subtle flow of Chakra.

The seven Three-Tomoe Ninja exchanged glances, each seeing the struggle and wavering in the other's eyes.

They had personally witnessed Konoha's indifference and experienced the cruelty of the battlefield. Senba's name and Shine's promise were like a massive stone, striking their already shaken hearts.

"I agree." Uchiha Takuma was the first to speak, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan gleaming with resolute light. "My father once received a favor from Lord Senba. What Konoha owes us, what they owe the Uchiha, I will personally reclaim!"

Where there was one, there was a second.

Night of Power, Kurasuke, Rin... the seven Three-Tomoe Ninja successively declared their allegiance. Immediately after, over forty Two-Tomoe and One-Tomoe Clan Members also nodded.

They might not have fully trusted Shine, but they were utterly disillusioned with Konoha, held reverence for Senba's ideals, and harbored a desperate hope for the Family's future.

Shine looked at the uniform figures before him, a satisfied smile gracing his eyes.

He raised his hand and released everyone's Chakra Seals: "From today onwards, you are my Uchiha Shine's subordinates, the core combat strength of the secret base.

Next, Uchiha Xiu will formulate exclusive training plans for you, and I will personally guide the seven Three-Tomoe powerhouses in developing their Sharingan abilities—prepare yourselves to welcome a brand new Uchiha."

The stone prison's gates slowly opened, and fifty-three Uchiha Ninja filed out. Their Crimson Sharingan gleamed under the fluorite light of the cave, like fifty-three rekindled stars.

Their eyes no longer held confusion or hesitation, only fiercely burning Battle Intent and yearning for the future.

Shine stood still, feeling this formidable condensed combat power, knowing in his heart—his era, the Uchiha's counterattack, was about to begin.

Under the fluorite glow of the secret base, Uchiha Shine's fingertip traced across the virtual summoning panel. The flickering numbers were particularly dazzling—14,800 summoning points, his harvest from the battlefield over seven days: the heads of fifteen Hidden Mist Jonin, the lives of thirty-four Chunin, the souls of seventy-eight Genin. Every drop of blood had transformed into a chip to strengthen the Uchiha.

The Jonin summoning conditions had not yet been unlocked, so without hesitation, he directly chose to summon thirty Uchiha Two-Tomoe Chunin. Thirty Crimson pillars of light illuminated the center of the cave, and thirty figures clad in clan attire appeared in response. Their Chakra fluctuations were uniform, all seasoned Chunin combatants.

"Greetings, Lord Shine!" The thirty summoned Ninja knelt on one knee, their voices strong and clear.

Shine nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze sweeping across the cave—the original ten summoned Ninja (Yan, Chi, Genki, Qi, Xiu, Hien, Crimson, Chen Mo, Yue, Jin), the fifty-three battlefield elites he had rescued, plus these thirty newly summoned Chunin, brought the total number in the base to ninety-six.

The previously expanded space now seemed cramped. The passages between the stone houses allowed only one person to pass sideways, and the training grounds were packed to the brim, even breathing carried the heat of the crowd.

"Xiu, these people are under your command. Assign them to the Third Training Squad to hone their teamwork with the existing Clan Members." Shine's tone was calm, but the satisfaction in his eyes was undeniable. "Ensure they form a combat-ready force in a short amount of time."

Uchiha Xiu bowed in acceptance, looking at the nearly hundred combatants before him with both excitement and hidden worry: "Lord, space is severely lacking. Even the quiet recovery area for the injured is almost completely occupied."

Shine had already noticed this and turned to Uchiha Chen Mo—this summoned Ninja specialized in Earth Release: Earth Expansion Jutsu, and was central to the base's construction.

"Chen Mo, lead all Clan Members skilled in Earth Release to immediately expand the base." He pointed his fingertip at the rock wall deep within the cave. "Expand into the mountain, adding thirty stone houses, two training grounds, and one supply warehouse. Ensure ample space per person."

"Yes!" Uchiha Chen Mo responded and quickly left with a dozen Earth Release Ninja to begin the work.

The rock walls steadily pushed inward with the combined efforts of Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall and Earth Release: Earth Piercing Jutsu. The sound of falling 碎石 was incessant, yet the rate of space expansion still couldn't keep up with the pressure from the surging population.

More problematic was the issue of supplies—previously, with fewer than twenty people, occasionally raiding merchant convoys passing through the Land of Whirlpools was enough to meet the demand for provisions, medicine, and Ninja tools;

But now, with nearly a hundred mouths to feed, the daily consumption of provisions was astronomical, not to mention the Chakra extraction agents needed for Cultivate and Advanced medicinal materials for healing. Relying solely on plunder was simply unsustainable.

Shine paced thoughtfully in the cave, tapping his fingertip against the stone wall. The secrecy of the base was paramount; its location absolutely could not be exposed, so establishing external supply lines was out of the question.

After a moment of contemplation, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He took out a summoning talisman inscribed with a Ninja Cat mark: "I can only trouble my father."

He dripped blood onto his fingertip and pressed it onto the summoning talisman. A faint light flashed, and the Ninja Cat "Moyn" instantly appeared before him, bowing respectfully: "Lord Shine, Lord Senba has been waiting for a long time."

"Tell my father," Shine lowered his voice, "the base currently has nearly a hundred Clan Members, and supplies are critically low. Please ask him to use the Ninja Cat Clan's summoning channel to transport the Family's secret stash of provisions, medicinal materials, and Ninja tools here in batches. It must be done covertly, leaving no trace."
