Uchiha's personal opinion

Uchiha Shisui immediately responded, and seeing that his teacher had no further instructions, he took his leave.

"Miaomu Mountain..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu licked his lips, the killing intent in his eyes finally becoming uncontrollable.

Mount Myōboku, hailed as one of the three holy lands, is by no means weak, especially its large summoned beasts, which can be described as "battlefield road rollers".

But the ninja world is always progressing. Although the shogunate's various new ninja tools are expensive, they are not to be underestimated!

Although the long and arduous expedition will inevitably be extremely costly, it is all worthwhile compared to the benefits gained from annihilating the Greninja clan of Mount Myōboku!

"We'll have to add Asura to the list soon..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu walked towards the bedroom, pondering, "Also, before the military preparations are complete, I need to give Kumogakure and Iwagakure a good beating! That would also weaken their forces and those of the Ninja Toads..."

"Deguang-kun~ What's wrong?"

After waking up, Makoto Uchiha was still waiting for Tokumitsu Uchiha to return.

Good things are coming soon!

Uchiha Tokumitsu stepped forward and hugged him, saying, "Since you're awake, you won't go back to sleep~"

……

"what!"

In the brightly lit palace of Mount Myōboku, the toad sage, who had been dozing with his bubbly eyes half-closed, suddenly awoke.

He then gasped for breath, his face showing a hint of confusion and panic.

"Great Immortal..."

The toad on guard outside the palace heard the great immortal's exclamation and quickly jumped in, letting out a worried cry.

Whether it's due to his advanced age or because of too many worries, the Toad Immortal hasn't been in a deep sleep for a long time.

"I'm fine..."

The Great Toad Immortal took a deep breath and casually sent Toad Guang away.

But how could nothing be wrong?

After slowly closing its eyes, the image that had startled the toad immortal replayed in its mind once again.

"fire……"

"Fire everywhere..."

"The fire raging on Mount Myoboku..."

The Toad Immortal's mood worsened.

Then, he calmed himself down again and tried to continue to peer into the future.

But this time, all it 'saw' was a sea of ​​blood!

"This is an ominous sign..."

The Great Toad Immortal gave up his plan to continue peeking into the future.

Fire and blood symbolize war and death.

Linking it with Mount Myōboku would mean the holy land's crushing defeat, or even its destruction!

This is something the Toad Immortal cannot tolerate!

But who could pose a threat to Mount Myoboku?

Two options flashed quickly through the mind of the Toad Immortal.

"Uchiha Tokumitsu's Shogunate!"

"And...Asura!"

Moreover, theoretically, apart from the holy sites, the only living beings who know the location of Mount Myōboku are the Ashuras!

"...As you know, I will not stand idly by and watch my people decline or perish!"

The Toad Immortal suddenly muttered to himself.

The palace remained silent, and even the candlelight showed no sign of flickering.

"Everything is out of control now..."

The Toad Immortal continued 'talking to himself'.

"The trajectory of the ninja world is unpredictable; there are simply too many unknown variables!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the candlelight began to flicker slightly.

The light inside the palace also changed slightly.

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, then I'll be the bad guy!"

The Toad Immortal's tone turned cold and hard, even revealing a chilling killing intent: "Hagoromo! You don't want the order you've established to completely collapse, do you?"

The wind inside the palace suddenly picked up and blew out some of the candles.

"Uncontrolled absolute freedom means absolute chaos! And chaos will inevitably lead the ninja world to utter destruction! At that time—"

The Great Toad Sage's voice became urgent: "Even if you continue to hide in the Pure Land, you will inevitably be impacted by the Ninja World. The one on the moon might even break free of his seal, and then everything will be over!"

"Our thousands of years of planning will all be reduced to ashes!"

"Do you really want to see this desperate scene?"

The Toad Immortal's words grew increasingly urgent, and his tone became increasingly loud.

However, thanks to the magic, the toad guarding outside the palace did not notice the commotion inside.

The wind stopped.

"..."

The Great Toad Immortal remained silent, quietly awaiting a reply from his old friend who resided in the Pure Land.

After a long while, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the candle flames to tilt and flicker, thus igniting several extinguished candles.

"There's no way to salvage it! At least I don't have the ability to do so!"

Upon seeing this, the Great Toad Sage immediately shook his head and continued, "All I can do is try my best to eliminate any factors that might endanger Mount Myōboku!"

"Don't try to persuade me, and don't stop me. This is my only request... Feather Robe!"

The breeze inside the palace subsided once more.

The Great Toad Immortal remained silent, staring blankly at the giant lighting candle in his bedchamber.

After a long while, a gentle breeze rose again, causing the candle flame to sway and tilt.

The Great Toad Immortal silently watched the flickering candlelight, not in a hurry to speak.

Suddenly, the wind picked up sharply, almost extinguishing the candlelight completely.

The Toad Immortal's heart immediately jumped into his throat!

"Pong!"

The giant candle, which had already gone out, suddenly burst into flames, scorching the still-uncured wax and causing it to splatter everywhere.

The palace was brightly lit once again!

A smile appeared on the face of the Toad Immortal.

"I understand."

The Toad Immortal's voice echoed in the empty palace. He then slowly rose from his throne and walked to the candlestick.

"Order is eternal, and I will personally go to the White Snake's place..."

"The future of the ninja world will surely return to the right path!"

……

"Captain Seiji..."

After a night of travel, the entire exploration team arrived at the end of their adventure—the edge of the wilderness!

Before me lay a vast ocean of turbulent waves, while in the distance stretched an immense fog!

Therefore, any ninja who participated in the Akatsuki raid could clearly sense the special chakra fluctuations emanating from Mount Myōboku in the mist!

Seiji Uchiha licked his lips and ordered, "Fetch water first, then retreat to the rear for seawater desalination. Sealing team, be careful to shield your chakra fluctuations!"

"As ordered!"

Even the most obtuse ninja understood that the goal of this trip was not as simple as exploring the end of the world, so they immediately began to conceal their aura and quietly began to draw seawater according to their assigned tasks.

Uchiha Seiji took out a specially made trident-edged kunai and a scroll from his pocket. After throwing the kunai into the reef in the sea, he tore open the scroll.

But Uchiha Seiji's expression showed some struggle.

This scroll is a special beacon.

After the scroll is torn open and placed into the radio for activation, a special chakra wave will "broadcast" information about the current location to the entire ninja world. Theoretically, as long as any radio is turned on, it can passively receive this extremely powerful chakra wave.

Of course, whether or not this can be deciphered is another matter entirely.

Meanwhile, the second team, which had been following behind, would fire signal flares and establish sniper positions to assist the first team in their withdrawal.

Because Mount Myoboku has no reason

"Captain, the fresh water supply has been replenished!"

Nearly an hour later, Seiji Uchiha received the answer he wanted.

"The communications team is setting up the radio..."

The communications ninja immediately unsealed the radio from the scroll. Uchiha Seiji placed the prepared scroll inside, hovered his hand over the transmit button, and then gave the order again: "Combat squad, conduct close reconnaissance mission! Sealing team, retreat to the rear relay station!"

"As ordered!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the exploration team members immediately split up and set off.

Even though the ninjas on the reconnaissance mission knew that their trip was extremely dangerous.

As the nine combat ninjas waded through the water and rushed into the distant mist, Uchiha Seiji's heart pounded with anxiety. The ninjas who remained behind began searching for battle positions and preparing to provide support.
