Uchiha's personal opinion

However, Uchiha Tokumitsu had never heard of any outstanding research talents in his clan.

"Let's keep them to take back to the village first. If all else fails, we can use them as bait to lure Orochimaru..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu casually crossed out the prisoners column on the supplies list.

These high-value Kirigakure prisoners were captured by the Uchiha ninja army in an independent operation, so there's no need for the village to go through the trouble of taking them down.

Next came the mountains of supplies.

The Uchiha ninja army that went to the northern part of the Land of Whirlpools to besiege the Hidden Mist Village has not yet sent back any battle reports, but the spoils from the Hidden Mist Village camp alone are already frightening enough.

Although Hatake Sakumo had taken some of the combat supplies from the Kirigakure camp before leading his troops back to the Land of Fire, and also took all the explosive tags and similar items, the other supplies left behind were still quite valuable.

The supplies needed for the long-term operations of the 3,000-strong ninja army thus fell into the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Although it's impossible for one person to consume it all, and even the Uchiha clan can't take all of these resources, at least Uchiha Tokumitsu can pick and choose the most valuable parts.

Due to time constraints, the Uchiha ninjas' inventory of the spoils was rather rough, but Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care at all and was actually enjoying it.

The list of seized items shows that most of the supplies were in boxes or warehouses, such as two hundred boxes of ninja tool sealing scrolls (kunai, shuriken, etc.), seventy boxes of secret medicine sealing scrolls, more than sixty warehouses of ordinary food and fodder, and more than thirty warehouses of ninja military equipment, etc.

What truly captivated Uchiha Tokumitsu were the more than six hundred sealing scrolls he found on the bodies of fallen Kirigakure ninja.

Generally speaking, the sealing scrolls carried by ninjas often contain items that they consider most useful on the battlefield, and these items may be more valuable than the spoils of a regular ninja army.

Uchiha Tokumitsu shook a bell and summoned an Uchiha Jonin.

"You should first arrange for your people to carefully inventory the spoils of the Misty Hidden Village."

Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed to the "Ninjas' Seizure" section on the list of captured supplies and drew a big X on the corresponding column.

The Uchiha Jonin understood and left.

Indeed, war profits are the richest in the world!

In addition to the usual ninja supplies, there was also a large amount of Water Country currency seized, totaling more than a dozen boxes of various denominations.

However, the Land of Water's currency was of little significance to the Uchiha clan, so Uchiha Tokumitsu put a checkmark on it.

"Let's give this part entirely to Sakumo-kun..."

Most of Hatake Sakumo's followers were ordinary ninja clans or commoners, and many had retired due to injuries and were facing difficulties in life. Giving him all of these funds would allow him to be more financially comfortable in supporting his subordinates.

As for ordinary ninja army combat supplies, Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to split them 70/70 with the village.

After all, the allied ninja forces under Hatake Sakumo's command had suffered many casualties and made significant contributions in the battle to capture the Kirigakure ninja army's camp. If he were to say that he had taken too much, it would be somewhat embarrassing for Hatake Sakumo not to be able to give him enough rewards.

The ninja weapons and provisions, which occupy the largest area, are not of great practical value and are easy to obtain. Only the Hidden Mist Village would bring so many during its cross-sea operations. Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu once again generously handed them all over to the village to handle.

There were dozens of warehouses full! This shows that Uchiha Tokumitsu was selfless and loyal, a fact that can be verified by heaven and earth!

After making some scribbles, Uchiha Tokumitsu once again flipped through the densely filled supply list, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Then, he shook the bell on the table again to summon another Uchiha Jonin.

"Plan according to this list, and categorize everything..." Uchiha Tokumitsu handed over the list of spoils. "Organize the clan's supplies first, and find another place to store them. Don't mix them with the village's spoils..."

The Uchiha Jonin took the list and glanced at it briefly, immediately understanding Uchiha Tokumitsu's intention.

"Yes, sir..."

"Also, if it's a regular ninjutsu scroll, have the Uzumaki ninja make several copies, and then give one to both the Uzumaki and Hyuga ninjas."

Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment and then spoke again.

The Uchiha clan differs from other Konoha clans in that they are relatively less concerned about the spread of their ninjutsu. This is evident from the fact that their Great Fireball Technique spreads everywhere.

In Uchiha Tokumitsu's view, the power of ninjutsu varies from person to person, and a ninja's right to speak is based on their own strength. It is impossible for a clan to prosper indefinitely by monopolizing ninjutsu. Therefore, it would be more worthwhile to actively spread these ninjutsu scrolls to further win people's hearts.

Although the Uchiha Jonin who was ordered to carry out this task did not fully understand Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions at first, he still carried it out without fail.

After the Uchiha Jonin bowed and left, Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a scroll from his pocket and placed it on the table.

It's time to study Samehada.

Chapter 143 Samehada from the Heart

Among the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, the most unique one should be the Great Sword Samehada.

This is a ninja sword with a certain degree of self-awareness.

Judging from its appearance, Samehada is more of a spindle-shaped special ninja tool than a ninja sword.

Able to absorb chakra and feed it back to

After being unsealed from the scroll, Samehada, whose hilt was covered with sealing talismans, lay flat on the table, but looked somewhat half-dead.

Without any bandages, Samehada lay limply on the table, its mouth at the top open, a pink tongue dangling out.

It looks just like a salted fish.

Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned.

This thing looks like it's in a bad situation!

I can't just die!

Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and tentatively poked Samehada's tongue.

"Hey~"

Upon being stimulated, Samehada immediately retracted its tongue and straightened its body.

Even the messy hangnails on its back have been neatly groomed.

"...Although the little thing has no morals, it's quite pragmatic."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was amused.

However, it's uncertain whether the sealing scroll from Kirigakure can summon this ninja sword back, so it's still necessary to let a Uzumaki ninja, who is proficient in sealing techniques, handle it.

Uchiha Tokumitsu rang the bell again, summoning the Uzumaki ninja who were accompanying the army.

Before long, five Uzumaki ninjas arrived at the central army tent where Uchiha Tokumitsu was located.

"Good day, Tokumitsu-sama!"

The five Uzumaki ninja bowed in unison to Uchiha Tokumitsu. Looking at the gleaming Greatsword Samehada on the table and the dense sealing techniques on its hilt, the Uzumaki ninja guessed Uchiha Tokumitsu's intention in summoning them.

As a former ally of Konoha, the Uzumaki clan of the former Land of Whirlpools primarily defended against Kirigakure, the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, which was just across the sea. They were also quite familiar with Kirigakure's most famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the characteristics of each of their swords.

"I need you to check the seal on this ninja sword and see if Kirigakure can summon it back through a summoning contract."

Uchiha Tokumitsu got straight to the point.

Although he and Hatake Sakumo had previously captured the Exploding Blade: Frozen Blade and the Long Sword: Needle respectively, they only regarded them as personal spoils of war and did not use them in the war. Therefore, they were not worried about being recalled by Kirigakure after sealing them away.

However, Uchiha Tokumitsu did indeed set his sights on Samehada, the most unique ninja sword.

So we still need to check it.

Five Uzumaki ninjas immediately stepped forward and began examining Samehada; while Uchiha Tokumitsu, to prevent Samehada from suddenly going berserk, condensed a ball of fire-style chakra in his palm and held it to Samehada's chin.

“Lord Deguang, the spiritual contract on Samehada has become one with its body and cannot be broken until the spiritual contract is obtained.”

The number one ninja said.

"However, the connection to the summoning contract can be blocked by layering additional sealing techniques, preventing Kirigakure from summoning the ninja sword back through the summoning circle."

The second Uzumaki ninja continued.

"When applying the sealing spell that shields the spirit contract, you, Lord Deguang, need to remove the binding seal."

The third Uzumaki ninja pointed to the chaotic and disorderly binding seals placed on the hilt of his sword by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"After the sealing technique is applied, Samehada can no longer be summoned at any time through the summoning technique, but there is no need to worry about it being taken back by Kirigakure."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze fell upon the fifth Uzumaki ninja.

"...Me too."

The fifth Uzumaki ninja's face turned bright red before he whispered these words.

"...Alright, Samehada is yours to keep."

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled, stood up and said, "You can complete the changes to the sealing technique here. I'll go take a walk around the camp."

In the ninja camp, Uchiha ninjas were busy organizing various supplies. Wherever Uchiha Tokumitsu went, everyone bowed and greeted him.

Uchiha Tokumitsu returned the greetings one by one, but felt a little uncomfortable. It was inappropriate for him to be idle, but he was unwilling to work with them. So he wandered over to the temporary medical hospital to visit the wounded.

"Young Master Deguang!"

"Lord Tokumitsu..."

The arrival of Uchiha Tokumitsu greatly excited the wounded soldiers who were bedridden.

Especially the Uchiha clan.

"No need for formalities..." Uchiha Tokumitsu gestured with his hands, indicating that everyone did not need to stand up.

"Are you feeling alright?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke gently to an Uchiha clansman.

"Thank you for your concern, young master. I am now out of danger and ready to serve you immediately."

The Uchiha clansman smiled somewhat awkwardly and answered in a low voice.

"Just rest and recover. The family will not forget your contributions."

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted his clansman on the shoulder and then walked to the next bed.

"Are you adapting well to the environment? If you need anything, please let us know and we will try our best to accommodate you."

The second wounded soldier was clearly an Akimichi clansman based on his physique.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Deguang. Everything is fine." The Qiudao tribesman smiled honestly. "It's just that I'm a little annoyed because my injuries are quite severe and I can't eat roasted meat."

"I'll treat you to a big meal once you've fully recovered!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also burst into laughter.

After some questioning, everyone at the temporary hospital received Uchiha Tokumitsu's impartial care. Amidst endless praise, Uchiha Tokumitsu leisurely returned to the central command tent.

The Uzumaki ninja had just completed the second sealing of Samehada.
