Uchiha's personal opinion

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder and said with great confidence.

Although the various ninja clans in Konoha may seem somewhat opportunistic, this is understandable.

Uchiha Tokumitsu had actually reserved a place for the Konoha ninja clan in his plans, but he wouldn't let them succeed so easily.

His gaze turned towards the eastern part of the ninja world.

There, perhaps, exists a wondrous new world!

……

"Commander, Lumb!"

On the flagship of the Shogunate's ocean fleet, the fleet's chief of staff, Uzumaki Ichiraku, rushed to the bow and whispered in Uchiha Rumbu's ear, "There's a secret report on the radio!"

"Just increase the transmission power..."

Uchiha Rumbu, who was staring blankly at the Calm Belt ahead, habitually replied, but then immediately realized something was wrong!

Radio station!

Does this mean the radio station, which had been silent until now, received a telegram from Naval Headquarters?!

Say it again!

Grabbing Uzumaki Ichiraku by the collar, Uchiha Rumbu growled in a low voice, "You said about the radio, didn't you!"

"Yes……"

Uzumaki Ichiraku swallowed hard, avoiding Uchiha Rumbu's Sharingan which had been activated due to excessive excitement: "The radio station just received a short message!"

"Short message..."

Uchiha Rumbu then realized what was happening. After loosening his grip on Ichiraku Uzumaki's collar, he looked surprised and delighted, with a hint of bewilderment.

Does anyone know the contents?

After taking several deep breaths, Uchiha Rumbu calmed himself down and slowly walked towards the command center.

"I have already blocked the news, and all relevant personnel have been brought under control immediately!"

Uzumaki Ichiraku immediately whispered in reply, "And it was all carried out by Uchiha ninjas!"

What was the content of the text message?

Uchiha Rumbu quickened his pace.

"We haven't deciphered it using the code list yet..."

"But judging from its characteristics, this message uses the highest-level red code, so it can definitely be from the rear!" said Ichiro Uzumaki.

"I understand!"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Uchiha Rumbu immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to teleport back to the command center.

At this point, he could no longer maintain his composure.

Upon returning to the command center, a communications officer immediately handed the telegram to Uchiha Rumbu and then moved aside to make way for the radio.

Another Uchiha ninja placed the code sheet in front of him.

Uchiha Rumbu first checked the Morse code on the radio and the copy in his hand. After confirming that everything was correct, he looked around at the excited crowd in the command cabin before slowly opening the code table and beginning to decipher it.

The telegram was short, and Uchiha Rumbu quickly completed its translation and interpretation.

"High-powered personnel forward this message; receive a short reply!"

Uchiha Rumbu slowly read the contents of the telegram.

The breathing of everyone in the command cabin immediately became rapid.

"Pass down the order: the entire fleet is to anchor and temporarily halt..."

Uchiha Rumbu was equally excited. "The reason is... crossing the Calm Belt requires more thorough preparation!"

"Ok!"

Ichiraku Uzumaki nodded and personally went out to head towards the communications tower.

Shortly after, a loudspeaker announced the start of the operation, and the ships began to lower their anchors into the seabed with a creaking sound. Ichiro Uzumaki also returned to the command center.

"Received, headquarters is unharmed!"

Uchiha Rumbu personally drafted the reply telegram and handed it over to Uzumaki Ichiraku for transmission.

What followed was an anxious and long wait.

……

"Chief Ashina! Breaking news!"

On an island in the East Blue of the Shinobi World, outside the hurricane barrier, a Uzumaki mechanical ninja kicked open the door of Uzumaki Ashina's room and shouted excitedly, "Fleet! The relay station has received and forwarded the fleet's reply!"

"what!"

Ashina Uzumaki immediately jumped up and rushed towards the communications tower.

"...The headquarters is unharmed!"

Upon reading the contents of the telegram, Ashina Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reply: Communication successful!"

Ashina first issued the order to reply, then said to Kushina, "You personally deliver the good news to Lord Tokumitsu!"

"Ok!"

Kushina Uzumaki didn't hesitate either, immediately sitting down in front of a radio and starting to send out messages.

"This is double the joy of a joyous occasion!"

Ashina Uzumaki couldn't help but sigh.

Finding the fleet's whereabouts is certainly a cause for celebration, but if this good news is superimposed on the glorious battle report of defeating Iwagakure and Kumogakure in the Battle of the Shogunate, and if the idea of ​​relaying the radio was proposed by Uchiha Tokumitsu, then Uzumaki Ashina can create some 'auspicious' reputation to enhance his own and his clan's standing!

Thinking of this, Ashina Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh out loud!

"Lord Deguang has replied!"

After a while, Kushina Uzumaki shouted, "The message reads: Stay in contact, we're on our way!"

"good, very good!"

Ashina Uzumaki jumped up excitedly!

This also demonstrates the importance of the ocean fleet in Uchiha Tokumitsu's mind, and the Uzumaki clan, having completed the communication, can prove their worth once again even without sufficient battle merits!

……

As the fleet and the rear radio kept exchanging text messages, Uchiha Rumbu and a group of Jonin in charge of the fleet finally pieced together the major events that had happened in the ninja world since they had gone 'lost their way', especially the recent outcome of the Battle of Takinohara, which made the Jonin celebrate with great joy!

"I really didn't expect this..."

Uchiha Rumbu was also filled with emotion.

The ninja world is about to be unified...

This was too sudden for the ninjas of the ocean fleet!

"Notify everyone in the fleet that we have made contact with headquarters!"

After ensuring stable communication, Uchiha Rinbu also relaxed the requirements for information control.

Immediately, cheers erupted throughout the fleet.

"Commander Lumb, shall we also read out the rear battle reports from this period?"

Another Uchiha ninja suggested.

"This is great! It will immediately give everyone a lot of confidence!"

Ichiraku Uzumaki immediately echoed.

Uchiha Rumbu naturally followed suit.

Then, as the Shogunate's war reports were broadcast, the atmosphere in the fleet became even more enthusiastic!

All the frustration, unease, and panic that had been building up in the hearts of the fleet ninjas vanished with the good news from the shogunate!

"Oh, and collect lots of weird and wonderful creatures, then store them in the freezer!"

Uchiha Lunbu suddenly said, "Also, clean the bloodstains off all the jewels we seized from that pirate crew last time, and present them to Lord Deguang as foreign treasures!"

"This……"

The Jonin exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding the significance of Uchiha Rumbu's actions.

They naturally understood the concepts of foreign goods and tribute, but weren't those jewels of various styles seized after slaughtering a pirate crew? What did they have to do with tribute? Besides, Lord Deguang certainly didn't lack such trinkets, did he?

Besides, wouldn't it be taboo to give someone this kind of gift?

"Looks like none of you understand~"

Uchiha Lunbu shook his head repeatedly, "Do you know what will happen to the ninja world after we defeat Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

"There will never be another ninja village that can exist independently of the shogunate!"

"It was said by an Uchiha ninja."

"Isn't there also Sunagakure?"

The ninja muttered something.

"Rasa is just a puppet produced specifically for the Land of Wind, he doesn't count."

"That's true..."

Before long, the topic of conversation among the Jonin had completely veered off course.

"Didn't you guys notice the key point?"

Uchiha Rumbu shook his head.

"What's the key?"

Ichiraku Uzumaki was puzzled.
