She lowered her head, concealing the redness in her eyes and the turbulent emotions in her heterochromatic pupils, and ate quickly in small bites.
Juicy, caramelized, and with the aroma of coarse salt and spices, this is the taste of "life," and even more so, the possibility of "new life."
This place... is really different.
Ye Cang's heart was in turmoil.
The yellow sands and brutal political infighting of Sunagakure seem like faded nightmares, while the vibrant and orderly Kusagakure, where the boundaries between ninjas and civilians seem to be blurring, presents a completely different path.
Perhaps... following him, witnessing or even participating in changing all of this is more meaningful than pointless death or revenge?
At least here, it seems... I won't be easily abandoned again.
Once this thought took root, it spread rapidly like wild grass, igniting the last bit of desolation in her heart.
Uchiha Xiang took in Pakura's subtle changes in expression, and a knowing, controlling smile appeared on his lips.
He had already achieved half of his goal. He turned to the crowd, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power:
"Shisui, Iigaku, what did you see?"
"The beginnings of prosperity, order, and peace."
Shisui said in a deep voice, his Mangekyou Sharingan reflecting this scene with deep contemplation.
"Yes."
Inside the Grass Shadow Office.
Uchiha Sō's gaze fell upon the taller buildings under construction in the distance.
"But this is just the beginning."
"Kusagakure, or rather, the future 'Sirius Clan,' will be a 'mirror' reflecting our ideals—a mirror that reflects the corrupt old system of the ninja world, and even more so, a mirror that illuminates the future."
He paused, his gaze finally settling on Ye Cang, who had just swallowed the last piece of roasted meat and whose eyes had regained their clarity and sharpness.
"Ye Cang".
"Your Majesty."
Yekura subconsciously straightened her back, her heterochromatic eyes meeting Uchiha Sō's gaze. Her former confusion and vulnerability were replaced by a rekindled confidence and resilience belonging to the heroes of Sunagakure.
"The brilliance of the heroes of Sunagakure should not be buried in the dust of conspiracy and betrayal."
Uchiha Sō's words struck Yekura's heart like a heavy hammer.
"The development of the Grass Country needs the strength of someone like you. I appoint you as the 'Burning Heavenly Venerable' of the Wolf Division of the 'Heavenly Divine Court,' to oversee all military and political affairs of the Grass Village and the Grass Country."
Yekura's pupils constricted slightly.
Heavenly Venerable?
To rule a country?
The significance of this position far exceeded her expectations.
"Ino".
Uchiha Xiang looked at Yamagami Ino, who had been standing quietly with a determined look in her eyes.
"Your Majesty."
Ino immediately stepped forward.
"As the head of the Sirius Division, you assist Venerable Ye Cang. The two of you represent the highest will and military deterrence of the 'Heavenly Court',"
He looked at Ye Cang.
"Someone who has a deep understanding of local customs and development plans."
He looked at Ino.
"We must cooperate sincerely."
"As ordered!"
Ino answered without hesitation, looking at Yekura with respect and expectation.
Ye Cang took a deep breath, and a long-lost, powerful, bright smile bloomed on her mature and elegant face. It was a confident radiance of being entrusted with an important task and finding a new direction in life.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! Ye Cang will live up to your expectations and make the Sirius Tribe your sharpest spear and your strongest support!"
"very good."
Uchiha Xiang nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, his voice lowering and carrying a hint of undeniable coldness.
"In addition, Yekura, you have another important task."
"Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."
"Deputy Minister of the Scientific Research Department, Birukho."
Uchiha Sō's eyes became deep and sharp.
"His ongoing research on the 'Oni-Garuru Technique'—a fusion of bloodline limits—has enormous potential, but... both the man and the technique require close monitoring."
I want you to use the Sirius Division's intelligence network to closely monitor his research progress, the condition of his experimental subjects, and... his mental state.
Any unusual activity, especially any signs that may be out of control or endanger the organization, must be reported to me immediately.
Ye Cang understood immediately, a glint of light flashing in his heterochromatic eyes.
Monitoring a dangerous, eccentric researcher?
This task was extremely challenging, but it suited her perfectly. She laughed heartily, displaying the keenness and confidence characteristic of Sunagakure's elite.
"Understood! I will ensure that his every move is under the 'burning gaze' of the Sirius Tribe, and I will never allow any dangerous element to escape control."
Looking at the revitalized, confident, and unassuming Yekura before him, and at the passion for development in Ino's eyes, Uchiha Xiang's vision became increasingly clear.
"Remember our strategy."
He concluded by emphasizing that his voice, though not loud, was clearly audible to everyone present.
"Store up grain—continue to deepen agricultural reforms, stockpile strategic materials, and attract refugees from all directions;"
Build high walls – strengthen the defense system of Kusagakure, promote basic ninjutsu education, and enhance the combat power of the entire population;
Delaying the declaration of kingship—keeping a low profile, accumulating strength, and waiting for the right opportunity.
The Sirius Clan will be the cornerstone and cradle for my future revolution that will sweep across the ninja world.
Everything you've done is for the ultimate goal of breaking down this corrupt old order of the ninja world and establishing a 'Heavenly Court' for all who yearn for peace and prosperity!
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui's eyes shone brightly, his whole body trembled, and then he spoke with a firm expression.
"Brother Elephant, I want to join the Heavenly Court too!"
Chapter 95, Heavenly Emperor, Star Emperor, Battle Venerable, Scorching Venerable
"Good! Since you, Zhishui, are willing to join the Heavenly Divine Court, then from this day forward, you shall be the Heavenly Venerable of the Battle Department."
Uchiha Sho nodded in satisfaction. He had brought Shisui along specifically to show him his "Heavenly Court".
The original intention was to recruit him into the Heavenly Court, and Yekura's joining was the icing on the cake, much to Uchiha Sō's delight.
With Yekura, a Kage-level bloodline powerhouse, in charge, the Land of Grass has finally made up for its last weakness.
However, it is clearly far from enough for a single Kage-level shinobi to stop the covetousness of the five great nations of the shinobi world.
If the Land of Grass continues to develop in this way, the five great nations of the ninja world will surely send spies to spy on it and try to find out the true nature of the "Heavenly Court".
Therefore, Uchiha Sō decided to create some trouble for the five great nations, so that they would be preoccupied with other matters.
This arduous task was naturally entrusted to the Akatsuki organization, where Obito, the "best brother" of the Ninja World's Elephant Emperor, belonged.
Only those who are "enlightened" can shoulder this heavy responsibility.
However, Akatsuki has not yet reached its full potential, and Nagato and Obito are not fools; they will not rashly provoke the five great ninja villages.
Then it was the turn of the "Heavenly Court" to make its appearance.
Uchiha Eiji planned to lead several of the strongest members of the "Heavenly Court" in a direct confrontation with the "Akatsuki" organization.
After demonstrating sufficient strength, they will then form an alliance with the Akatsuki organization under the pretext that the "Heavenly Court" is about to launch a ninja world revolution plan, creating a sense of crisis for Obito and Black Zetsu.
Driven by the sense of crisis brought about by the "Heavenly Court," these two will surely accelerate the Akatsuki's collection of the nine tailed beasts.
At the same time, with the Heavenly Court as an ally, they will be more confident in challenging the five great nations.
The reason why Uchiha Eizo dared to act in this way stemmed from the fact that the current peak combat power of the Heavenly Court was sufficiently formidable:
[Uchiha Sō, the Emperor of Heaven, is a peak Kage-level shinobi with the Mangekyou Sharingan. When necessary, he can unleash the Emperor Susanō, and for a short period, his combat power can reach the edge of the Super Kage level.]
[Emperor Ziwei, Otsutsuki Ichiraku, is also a peak Kage-level shinobi. He possesses the Tenseigan. Given enough time, he can resonate with the giant Tenseigan on the moon, unleashing Kage-level power for a short period.]
[Ye Cang, the Heavenly Venerable of the Sirius Clan, possesses the Blazing Release bloodline limit and is a Kage-level powerhouse. His wide-range destructive power is feared by all.]
[Uchiha Shisui, the Heavenly Venerable of the Battle Division, also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is a Kage-level powerhouse. He can unleash Susanoo when necessary and may also unleash even greater power.]
It can be said that with the four members of the Uchiha clan joining forces, there is no place in the entire ninja world that they cannot go.
Even with Nagato's Rinnegan, the Elephant Emperor is not invincible.
Even the Akatsuki organization is not invincible against the Heavenly Court.
Having decided to confront the Akatsuki organization head-on, Uchiha Sō had already contacted Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku, asking him to come and help.
Speak of the devil and he appears!
Otsutsuki Ichiraku, wearing a mask adorned with stars and a purple-gold dragon robe personally designed by Uchiha Sō, excitedly asked, "Sō-nii, are we finally going to face the mastermind behind it all?"
"Be careful, everyone. This time, our opponents are no ordinary people, especially Shisui and Yecang. Outside, we must address each other as follows: I am the Heavenly Emperor, Ichiro is the Star Emperor, Shisui is the Battle Venerable, and Yecang is the Scorching Venerable. Do not get them mixed up."
Before setting off, Uchiha Sō unified their respective names.
"receive."
Yekura, Shisui, and Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku responded in unison.
Yekura wore a mask painted with flames and a robe with a pattern of a wolf's head embroidered with flames.
Shisui wore a mask painted with flowing water and a dress embroidered with green butterflies.
Seeing this, Uchiha Sho nodded in satisfaction.
