Naruto: The Uchiha Calabash Brothers are reshaping the ninja world

Chapter 96 The Uchiha's Mission (Transitional Chapter)

"What are you worried about? Or do you think the Uchiha should shed blood for Konoha in vain?"

Mo stared into Fugaku's eyes and spoke coldly.

"Chieftain—I—"

Fugaku was speechless for a moment, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly. After a long while, he finally replied in a low voice, "I'm just worried—if the village resents the Uchiha because of this, the Uchiha will be completely plunged into an abyss—"

"For someone as weak as you to be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Sharingan is truly overpowered."

Mo looked at Fugaku with an icy expression.

Although Black Zetsu's previous death had an element of scheming, in the end, the Uchiha Jonin were not much weaker than the current generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and it was not impossible for them to annihilate them even at a cost. However, Shisui still died in their surprise attack.

So even though he understood that this was a trap set by Black Zetsu specifically for him, Mo still couldn't help but feel some dissatisfaction with Fugaku, the leader.

"Manka—Clan Chief, you already know?!" Fugaku's face was filled with shock, completely forgetting that he had shown those eyes to Uchiha Sumi on the battlefield.

"Heh~" Mo sneered, mockingly saying, "Weren't you secretly comparing your eye power just now? What was the result?"

"?!" Fugaku's eyes widened instantly, and his mouth gaped open. The shocked expression on his stiff face looked somewhat comical.

He waved his hand and quickly explained, "Clan leader, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to see the difference in our current strength. After all, even the Third Raikage died at your hands—"

He spoke very quickly, his face showing urgency, as if he was afraid that Mo would misunderstand. However, after he finished speaking, Mo's face showed a bored expression.

"Are you really an Uchiha? Never mind—"

As he spoke, Mo shifted his position in the chair, propping his cheek with his right fist and pointing down twice with a finger extended from his left hand.

"If you want it, come and take it yourself. You know the rules."

"I'm really not—"

Fugaku hurriedly tried to explain again, but before he could finish speaking, Mo raised his hand to interrupt him.

"In that case, don't worry about things that don't concern you. You just need to follow orders." Uchiha Mo's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I—I understand." Fugaku let out a long sigh and nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Uchiha Mo with a serious expression and said, "Clan Chief Mo, I know my abilities are limited, but I will definitely use the power of these eyes to assist you in forging the future of the Uchiha clan."

Mo glanced at Fugaku upon hearing this, "In that case, the disciplinary work until the reinforcements arrive will be handed over to you. You will lead a patrol team of Jonin from the army, patrolling every half hour, with the Jonin rotating every two hours."

"Hmm—what about me?" Fugaku looked bewildered.

"You won't change it."

"what?"

Before Fugaku could express his doubts, Mo calmly straightened up and looked down.

At this point, apart from Samehada, all six swords, including Hiramekarei, had been divided up by the Uchiha Jonin.

"Clan leader, it seems like none of us can tame Samehada—" Uchiha Yakumi pointed to the strangely shaped greatsword lying on the ground, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

Mo nodded upon hearing this, showing no surprise on his face. Seeing this, Fugaku could only awkwardly return to his seat.

Unlike the other six ninja swords, Samehada possesses a complete sense of self. To make it willingly submit, there is only one condition: a vast amount of high-quality chakra.

Furthermore, only those proficient in Water Release techniques can fully unleash Samehada's power.

While the Uchiha clan has always possessed powerful chakra quality and substantial quantity, they were still within the realm of normal humans before awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If any member of the Uchiha clan could tame this sword, then only two people might be able to—

However, Uchiha Sumi, who possessed the Futsu-no-Mitama, naturally didn't fancy this sword. As for Fugaku—his immediate priority was to be careful not to hurt himself when swinging the sword—

Mo turned his gaze away. "Put it away with a sealing scroll. The Uchiha clan is full of geniuses, and someone will naturally be able to use it in a few years."

"yes!"

The medicine-smelling creature responded and stepped forward to put the Samehada into the sealing scroll.

At this point, the seven ninja swords had been initially distributed.

Besides Shisui's sewing needle, Uchiha Hachimoku obtained the Twin Blades Hiramekarei thanks to his formidable strength, Hina obtained the Exploding Blade Hibuchi, Uchiha Kazuya obtained the Lightning Blade Kiba, and the blunt blade Kabuto was obtained by Yakumi.

As for the Executioner's Blade, it fell into the hands of Uchiha Chika. This man was the father of Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Tetsuka, and was considered a fairly strong Jonin within the clan.

Taking the scroll handed to him by Yaowei, Mo stood up from his seat and addressed the Uchiha below, saying, "You must remember, these swords are merely to add another means to your abilities. If I discover that you are only obsessed with the power of the swords and neglect your own strength, I will take them back."

"Furthermore, you found these seven swords. They have nothing to do with the war, nothing to do with Kirigakure, and even less to do with Konoha. That's the truth no matter who asks, understand?"

"Understood!" Xn

Everyone responded in unison. Mo didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and said, "This war is an opportunity for the Uchiha. You only have one mission on the battlefield."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone showed expectant expressions. The Uchiha, who had just received a boost in strength, were obviously eager to show off their skills.

Mo's expression remained calm as he uttered two words indifferently.

"To save my life."

"To save my life?"

"Why? We're so powerful!"

"That's right! Clan leader, our opponents are just some lowly Kirigakure ninjas, we won't lose—"

The clansmen all looked puzzled and started discussing among themselves.

Mo spoke expressionlessly, "Listen. This is Konoha's war, and it has nothing to do with the Uchiha. No matter how much the Uchiha contribute, they will not receive the treatment they deserve. No matter what price the Uchiha pays, Konoha will not care."

The moment he spoke, the surroundings fell silent.

"So even if we lose the war and Konoha is invaded, it doesn't matter. As long as the Uchiha's strength remains intact, the Uchiha have not lost. Your lives, the lives of every member of the clan, are more precious than those of the commoners in this war."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't because of Konoha that they harbored any resentment towards Mo; it was simply a matter of confusion.

After all, the Uchiha clan had just been tricked by the Konoha leadership, and many people still harbored resentment about it, especially those who participated in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain. Mo's attitude at this moment was exactly what they wanted to hear.

"But clan leader, what good will it do us to do this?" Uchiha Yakumi frowned, quite puzzled.

"If the war is lost, the Third Hokage might even take the opportunity to turn against the Uchiha!"

Mo waved his hand, his expression remaining calm.

"It doesn't matter, our battlefield is elsewhere. You'll understand once reinforcements arrive and the war stabilizes."

""

"Before that, I need you to protect your lives on the battlefield for the future of the Uchiha. I will use my authority as commander-in-chief to assign you to safe rear areas."
