Naruto: The Uchiha Calabash Brothers are reshaping the ninja world

Without Terada Yusuke slowing everyone down, Team 8 returned to Konoha in just a day and a half after Uchiha Sumi recovered his chakra.

"Phew—I'm finally back! It feels like I've been gone for months!"

Asma breathed a sigh of relief; the scenery that had seemed so dull in the past now looked so welcoming.

Mo lowered his indifferent black eyes. "Take the voucher and settle the task. As for the reward, you can split it equally. You don't need to give it to me."

After saying that, Uchiha Mo lifted his foot and walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Having received a gift from the black market merchant of the Bird Kingdom, the reward for a C-rank mission was nothing more than a drop in the ocean for him.

Mo is now eager to check his gains and get his hands on Granny Cat's Kusanagi sword.

Just as he was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a minute! Mo..."

Uchiha Mo paused slightly upon hearing the voice, then turned around to see Kurenai Yuhi.

She looked away, her right index finger fiddling with the curls at her temples, and slowly asked:

"Mo, you haven't forgotten our promise, have you?"

"no."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo turned his gaze back and used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave the place.

He quickly returned to the Uchiha clan's territory, but after knocking on his own door, there was no response for a long time.

Mo frowned slightly. "Still training?"

He glanced at the darkening sky, then reached into his ninja tool bag, took out a key, and opened the door.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was pushed open, and Mo strode into the house. After putting his things away, he went to the courtyard.

"Spiritual communication!"

Mo bit his thumb, slammed his palm on the ground, and a black mark instantly spread out from his palm.

Immediately afterwards, a "bang" sounded and smoke rose up around them, and a smooth, soft-furred ninja cat appeared beside Mo.

"Mo Jun, what's the matter now? Meow."

Mo stood up. "I'm going to see Granny Cat through the psychic abilities. Mission accomplished."

The ninja cat nodded its tiger-like head upon hearing this, "I understand, meow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ninja cat vanished into smoke with a "bang." Not long after, Uchiha Mo sensed a summons.

Without a second thought, Mo accepted. The next moment, he too vanished into smoke with a "bang" in the courtyard.

……

  

Empty area.

Mo lifted the curtain at the door, stepped inside, and entered the inner room.

"It's Mo..."

Grandma Cat raised her head at the sound, glanced at Uchiha Mo, took a puff of her pipe, and slowly said:

"Now that you're here, it means the matter of the Bird Kingdom is over, right?"

Mo nodded, his clean eyes looking at the old man as he slowly said:

"The one who carried out the trap was Kakuzu. The reason was that several ministers and black market merchants from the Land of Birds had evil intentions and coveted his secret techniques. As a result, the trap failed and they were all killed instead."

When that name appeared, Granny Cat's arm holding the pipe stiffened slightly, and she only let out a long sigh after Mo finished speaking.

"Sigh—young people, I don't know if it's ignorance or audacity... If it were us back then..."

Halfway through her sentence, Granny Cat suddenly stopped, looking at Uchiha Mo ahead, and shook her head with a smile:

"I'm sorry, but as an old woman, I tend to reminisce about the past."

"Does Grandma know Kakuzu?" Mo didn't pay attention and asked another question instead.

Grandma Cat nodded. "It's more than just knowing him! Although he's not exactly a household name, anyone with a brain in the underground black market who can make it big knows him. It's just that those unlucky bastards from the Bird Kingdom actually dared to mess with him..."

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Mo's mouth.

"Does your mother-in-law know which underground black markets or money exchange he usually frequents? He got away after I destroyed four of his hearts last time."

Grandma Cat's right hand trembled, and many sparks flew out of her pipe.

"..."

Her cloudy old eyes stared straight into Uchiha Mo's eyes, which remained calm and unbiased.

"You almost killed him?"

Mo didn't speak, but suddenly pulled out four tattered masks from somewhere and casually threw them on the ground in front of him.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

"..."

"Sigh~" Granny Cat's wrinkles smoothed out, and she shook her head with a wry smile.

"I'm really getting old, I can't keep up with the times. I didn't expect you to be so strong, Mo? If you don't mind, I'd like to know how you knew about Kakuzu. I don't mean anything by it, because it's not like there aren't good people who have tried to take him down before, but his abilities... give him a strong intelligence advantage."

Upon hearing this, Mo slightly activated his pupil power, and his pair of black eyes instantly turned crimson, leaving only three black tomoe lying quietly in his pupils, slowly rotating.

There is nothing that these eyes cannot see through.

Grandma Cat was slightly taken aback, but not wary, and looked straight into Mo's eyes.

"Three tomoe... I understand. I will mark the frequency with which Kakuzu has visited black markets in various places in recent years on a map later. I will not charge you for this information; consider it a reward for those people to vent their anger."

After saying this, Granny Cat raised her hand to extinguish her pipe and turned to shout:

"Rin! Bring that Kusanagi sword to Sumi!"

A still somewhat childish girl's voice came from the inner room, "Yes, Grandma!"

Not long after she finished speaking, a girl about the same age as Shisui rushed out, carrying a black ninja sword that was longer than her.

She looked up at Mo, and a blush immediately spread across her cheeks.

"Here you go, Brother Mo."

Huan handed over the ninja sword, and Mo reached out and took it.

The straight sword still felt just right in his hand. His previous ninja sword had been destroyed during the battle with Kakuzu, so he could seamlessly switch to it.

Mo drew his ninja sword and glanced at it. "Does this ninja sword have a name?"

Some special individuals within the Kusanagi sword series have unique names, such as the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi and the Ama-no-Kurakumo-no-Tsurugi...

Mo seemed to be asking about the name of the Kusanagi sword, but the subtext was that he was asking if this Kusanagi sword was such an excellent individual.

Upon hearing this, Granny Cat grinned, a rare occurrence, and laughed out loud—a laugh of someone who had finally met a discerning customer.

"Hahahaha! As expected of you, this sword certainly has a name. You can call it 'Fuyu Sword,' or you can call it 'Futsu-no-Mitama,' whatever you like. Besides that... you can try adding attribute chakra to it..."

Mo glanced at Granny Cat, then looked down at its gleaming blade.
