Steve Chapter 125

The members of the Uchiha clan actually prefer finding middle ground and seeking compromise.

For instance, if you were to suggest that Uchiha clan members are too proud to serve on the Konoha's police force, they would definitely object and might even create a fuss about it.

However, if you were to propose using the clan's strength to eliminate the Five Great Nations and restore the Uchiha clan's greatness through a war of blood and fire, they would be more willing to negotiate and might agree to step down from the police force.

"Um, Lord Madara..."

Suddenly, an Uchiha clan member couldn't hold back and spoke up, "How about you help us secure a different position? We don't want to be part of the Konoha's police force. It's a lot of effort and not worth it."

"Yes," other Uchiha clan members chimed in, "Being in the police force doesn't bring much benefit, and the commoners are always criticizing us behind our backs. We'd be better off without this position."

"That's right," another Uchiha clan member with the Three Tomoe Sharingan nodded, "Maybe we could learn from the neighboring Hyuga clan. They don't hold any official positions, and they're doing just fine, aren't they?"

"In my opinion, we're just too proud most of the time. That's a flaw we need to work on."

Another voice from the crowd added, "Perhaps it's better not to be in the Konoha's police force right now. At least that way, we can have a better relationship with the commoners and avoid being isolated by the village..."

It turns out, as long as you appear more extreme than the Uchiha clan, they become more cooperative. If this were in the past, even Fang Mo might have agreed.

However, the current situation is quite unique. Fang Mo indeed has ambitions concerning the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations. Considering the Uchiha clan's expertise in genjutsu, they are the most suitable for the job.

Didn't you notice how the fake Uchiha Madara controlled the Mizukage of the Mist Village with his genjutsu for so many years?

So, Fang Mo really needs to find a way to establish this team.

Therefore, he firmly states, "No! The Five Great Nations must be destroyed! I, Uchiha Madara, cannot tolerate seeing the Uchiha clan mistreated!"

"Um..."

Seeing Fang Mo so determined, the other clan members look to Uchiha Fugaku for guidance.

The meaning is quite clear.

It's probably something like, 'Chief, you better handle him!'

However, Uchiha Fugaku has already communicated with Fang Mo mentally and knows he doesn't want to assassinate the Daimyo but rather control them to build an ideal nation.

So, he ignores the implied message and instead takes a step forward, kneeling down, "I, Uchiha Fugaku, will lead the charge and restore the Uchiha clan's glory!"

"Very good! Full of spirit!"

Fang Mo nods in satisfaction, and his eyes begin to emit a crimson light.

An overwhelming pressure envelops the entire scene, and all Uchiha clan members feel a heaviness in their bodies. This is the first time they've experienced such a terrifying aura. Is this the true power of their ancestor?

It's truly awe-inspiring, almost like facing a deity.

"Our first target is the Land of Water. Uchiha Fugaku and I will personally lead the charge."

Fang Mo says slowly, "We'll control the Daimyo of the Land of Water on one hand, and seize the Tailed Beast from Kirigakure on the other. If they dare to resist, we'll destroy the entire village..."

"Um... about that..."

The clan members exchange glances, and one of them asks, "Madara-sama, how many of us will you be taking?"

"Three more."

This time, Uchiha Fugaku speaks up, "Actually, it's just to nurture potential members within the clan. The real battle and control will be handled by Madara-sama and me. However, our elite members should experience significant situations."

"Um... Can I join?"

In the crowd, a small hand is suddenly raised.

Everyone turns to look and sees a hedgehog-headed teenager wearing a headband. He might look somewhat young, but his expression is determined.

"Huh? Who is he..."

"Isn't that the guy..."

"Isn't he called Shisui?"

Of course, Fugaku notices the teenager not far away.

He looks quite ordinary, just a black-haired youth with a clean and refreshing appearance, dressed in short sleeves without any extravagant embellishments. The only distinctive feature is his eyes, which have already taken the shape of the Three Tomoe.

Fang Mo's main target is actually him. Kotoamatsukami seems to be quite famous, and its effects are somewhat similar to brainwashing with a Mind Control Scepter. Fang Mo doesn't know if he might fall victim to it, but he doesn't want to take the risk.

However, unlike with Danzo, the boy hasn't done anything wrong. He can't just go and stab him. So, he decides to bring him closer before deciding.

Following Shisui's raised hand, several other Uchiha clan members raise their hands one after another.

Fang Mo wasn't very familiar with these few individuals, so he handed them over to Uchiha Fugaku for handling. He let Fugaku choose a few suitable candidates with decent combat potential, not necessarily requiring strong skills, just the ability to use Sharingan.

Meanwhile, significant reforms were underway in Konoha.

Various new policies were being implemented, including the cultivation of crops previously entrusted to Orochimaru. These crops were currently being tested in experimental fields. Orochimaru had discovered a Wood Release user within the Root and bestowed upon him a new title, Yamato.

Yamato had two main responsibilities: assisting in expanding the experimental bases and using his Wood Release chakra to care for the valuable crops.

On the other hand, Uchiha's team quickly came together.

Fang Mo waved his hand and led the group, including himself and three others - Uchiha Shisu, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Mentai, out of Konoha.

It was evident that Uchiha Fugaku had some personal motives. Among the team members, aside from Fang Mo and himself, were three others: Uchiha Shisu, who had already been mentioned, Uchiha Itachi, Fugaku's biological son, and Uchiha Mentai, who Fang Mo hadn't heard of before.

Fugaku seemed to want to expose his son to the world. As for Uchiha Mentai, he was relatively unknown to Fang Mo, but Fugaku mentioned that Mentai had awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan at a young age and was a skilled medical ninja.

Fang Mo suspected that Fugaku brought a medical ninja from their clan to ensure his son's safety.

The journey from the Water Country to Konoha took some time, but with skilled individuals like Fang Mo, Shisu, and Itachi, they reached their destination relatively quickly.

The Third Great Ninja War was reaching its conclusion. Gai's use of the Eighth Inner Gate had taken a toll on Mist Village, and Uchiha Madara's plans.

Outside Mist Village, Fang Mo listened as Uchiha Fugaku outlined a strategy.

"We should find a way to lure out their Jinchuriki."

Fugaku suggested, "We currently lack precise information, but we can capture a ninja and extract information using genjutsu. Leave that to Itachi and Shisu."

The plan was swiftly put into action. Itachi and Shisu quickly incapacitated a Mist ninja team using genjutsu. However, before they could retrieve them, a massive water blade suddenly aimed at them.

Reacting swiftly, they avoided the attack, but a green-haired youth appeared, carrying a flowered iron rod - the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

Uchiha Fugaku, activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, asked Fang Mo if they should intervene.

"Deal with him first... Wait?"

Fang Mo began to say, but he suddenly noticed a peculiar pixelated avatar on the top right corner of his perspective (the minimal) - a black-and-white square.

Recognizing the unmistakable symbol, he realized it was Zetsu, the Thousand-Year-Old Crow.

But Zetsu wasn't acting alone; there was a white side as well - his dual nature as Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

"Madara-sama?"

Fugaku grew anxious, noticing Fang Mo's distraction. With Uchiha Shisu and Itachi still confronting the Fourth Mizukage, he urged Fang Mo to act.

"For now, you deal with the Fourth Mizukage."

After being reminded, Fang Mo refocused on the situation. He wondered why Zetsu had appeared and decided to assess the situation before making a move.
