Uchiha's personal opinion

Uchiha Tokumitsu nonchalantly exposed Black Zetsu's plan in front of Nagato: "Besides, do you think I'd be stupid enough to activate the Eye of the Moon after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki... You know, I'm not that idiot Uchiha Madara!"

But Nagato heard a different meaning in those words!

He had always been taught that Black Zetsu was the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will, and that Madara Uchiha was his father...

Although this concept seemed utterly absurd to Uchiha Tokumitsu, it was a self-evident truth to Nagato, who had lived among the White Zetsu since childhood.

However, if we analyze Uchiha Tokumitsu's words now, it seems that the 'truth' he has always believed in is about to collapse!

Moreover, it seems that his respected teacher, Black Zetsu, did not intend to refute him!

"If you want to rescue Her Majesty Kaguya, who else but me can do it?"

Ignoring Nagato's utterly devastated expression, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued, "So, Black Zetsu, you didn't want to either..."

"His Majesty!"

Black Zetsu no longer hesitated and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

"very good!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was very satisfied.

Although he knew that Black Zetsu, that cunning old fox, could never be sincere, what could he do?

As long as I pay a little attention, Black Zetsu's power poses no threat to me whatsoever, and I can even use him as a very useful tool.

After all, with the Gedo Mazo, mass production of White Zetsu is no longer an impossible task!

Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head and pressed a button on the table, summoning the Imperial Guards who were waiting outside. He ordered them to take Black Zetsu away, and then summoned Namikaze Minato who was waiting outside.

"Your Majesty, we salute you!"

Minato Namikaze remained as respectful as ever.

"Have those two Chunin from the New District Police Station's Information Division returned from their mission?"

"Uchiha Tokumitsu asked."

"Are you referring to Yahiko and Konan?"

Minato Namikaze said cautiously, "They had already finished their mission and returned to the headquarters when Representative Kakuzu and Assistant Political Officer Shisui began to reorganize Lord Minamoto's private army."

In the entire new district police station, these two were probably the only people whose names Uchiha Tokumitsu could remember.

"Yes."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "You take this brat with you, and have him form a team with Yahiko and Konan. You will personally supervise him, and you will also be responsible for assigning him specific tasks..."

Although Nagato was somewhat surprised, he managed to maintain a calm demeanor on the surface.

He thought he would spend the rest of his life in a dark prison.

"However, this kid seems to have some anti-human personality traits, so you should keep an eye on him..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Nagato on the shoulder again and said meaningfully.

Nagato's body trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

The reason for this arrangement was twofold: firstly, Nagato, who had been forced to install the Sharingan after losing the Rinnegan, was no longer a threat; secondly, he was still a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and whether out of a desire to make use of someone's talents or out of a superior's appreciation for talent, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not intend to leave this potentially useful tool idle in prison.

Furthermore, based on Ashina Uzumaki's examination, it was determined that he was the child of a couple of ninja stationed at a border outpost on the northern coast of the Land of Whirlpools. However, since the outpost was destroyed first by the Allied Shinobi Forces of the Three Sannin Villages, the Uzumaki clan had always believed that they had been killed long ago. Moreover, in terms of ninja talent, Nagato was considered an outstanding genius among the Uzumaki clan at that time, otherwise he would not have been chosen and taken away by Madara Uchiha.

As for Nagato, although he has never expressed any opinion on Uchiha Tokumitsu's series of arrangements, it is clear that after Black Zetsu submitted and became his subject, the ideological imprint formed by his education since childhood has begun to waver to some extent.

However, Uchiha Tokumitsu is quite looking forward to seeing whether Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, whose life trajectories have been completely altered, can still spark a different kind of chemistry like they did in their previous lives.

"Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, and Boiling Goat... it's simply a perfect combination!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was quite pleased with his arrangements.

……

January 1st of the first year of the Kaihuang era.

After months of tireless work in three shifts, the special fleet that opened up the route to Mount Myoboku, despite the excessive wear and tear on the reef-damaged ships and the vigilant protection of the combat ninjas, thwarted one attack and ambush after another by the ninja frogs of Mount Myoboku. Finally, on the last day, they successfully completed their mission and fulfilled their long-cherished wish of presenting a gift to His Majesty!

This day was a day of universal celebration in the ninja world, and also the first day that the Uchiha Dynasty's army and navy assembled on a large scale!

"The 1st to 4th Regiments of the Strategic Support Force, the 1st to 3rd Regiments of the 2nd Army Defense Corps, the 1st to 5th Regiments of the 3rd Army Defense Corps, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 4th Army Defense Corps, and the provisional 10th to 22nd Regiments of the Reclamation Corps shall be assembled at the westernmost port of the Southwest Administrative Region within five days!"

"The Royal Navy's First and Second Fleets, along with the company's transport fleet, are to complete resupply and assemble at the western port within three days!"

With a command from Uchiha Tokumitsu, the ninja army, which had been at peace for less than a month, became busy again.

This time, the ninja army mobilized as many as 25,000 combat ninjas. In addition, a large number of medical ninjas and joint company support ninjas will also be deployed, bringing the total number of personnel to over 30,000!

For the ninja world, mobilizing so many ninjas to participate in a battle is absolutely unprecedented!

The Shinobi World Government also launched a propaganda campaign, vigorously promoting to the Shinobi World the conspiracy and schemes that Mount Myōboku had been trying to secretly 'mislead' the Shinobi World's direction, as well as the righteousness and necessity of the Uchiha Dynasty's conquest of Mount Myōboku!

"No outcast can dictate the fate of the ninja world!"

"Every ninja is the master of their own destiny, and all conspiracies that attempt to manipulate the fate of the ninja world will be destroyed!"

With days of broadcasts, news of Uchiha Tokumitsu's expedition to Mount Myōboku spread throughout the world.

……

Even the Greninja lineage of Mount Myōboku, located outside the wilderness, received reliable intelligence.

The ninja's expedition is truly about to begin!

Surprisingly, after Gamabunta and Gamahiro, who led the ambush, died in battle, the Great Toad Sage took no further action.

Even the attacks encountered by the task force when it opened up new routes were only due to some of the Greninjas acting on their own.

Even at such a critical juncture, the Toad Immortal kept his palace doors tightly shut, seemingly unconcerned about the impending epic enemy.

Although some ninja frogs comforted themselves by saying that the Great Toad Sage had made preparations in advance, and that Mount Myōboku's trump card would surely wipe out the Uchiha's lackeys, most ninja frogs no longer believed such rhetoric.

If Mount Myōboku really had some world-destroying trump card, wouldn't they know about it? Now that even the giant grenades among their main fighting forces have been almost completely wiped out, what other tricks could they possibly have up their sleeves?

However, even though the frogs on Mount Myōboku were filled with apprehension and rumors were rampant, the Great Toad Sage still did not issue any decrees.

As time went on, the Greninja of Mount Myōboku received the latest intelligence—ninjas everywhere had gathered at the port in the far west of the former Land of Wind, and began installing various weapons on the fleet and conducting adaptive training!

According to the ninja frogs' estimates, the fleet that set sail from the Ninja World Continent could reach the outskirts of Mount Myōboku within ten days at most!

The mist barrier surrounding Mount Myōboku was simply no match for the attack of tens of thousands of ninja troops!

Left with no other choice, the hermit Fukasaku once again knocked on the door of the palace, determined to get an explanation even at the risk of disturbing the great hermit!

"Come in..."

Just as the immortal Fukasaku raised his hand to knock on the door amidst the anticipation of the ten thousand frogs, a voice filled with extreme weariness came from inside the palace, and at the same time, the palace door opened by itself without any wind.

The Greninja frogs were overjoyed.

The immortal was first startled, then overjoyed!

What was alarming was that, judging from the sound, the Great Toad Sage seemed to have done something major that had caused him to overexert himself; what was encouraging was that if that was the case, then Mount Myōboku might be saved!

After tidying up his coat, the immortal Fukasaku stepped into the palace.

Then, the palace gates quietly closed, sensing the commotion inside and the hopeful gazes of the Greninjas.

However, this time the palace was not brightly lit as usual. Instead, only a few giant candles emitted a dim yellow light, which made the already exhausted expression of the Toad Immortal even more sinister.

But in the eyes of the immortal, it seemed that there was a strange light in the eyes of the great toad immortal.

"Great Immortal..."

The immortal bowed respectfully, about to say something.

"I know what you mean..."

The Great Toad Sage interrupted Fukasaku Sage, "Moreover, I also 'saw' the approaching Uchiha army..."

"Then we..."

The immortal Shen Zuo's spirits lifted, and he immediately asked the question.

"The future of the Greninja lineage no longer rests on Mount Myōboku..."

The Great Toad Immortal said leisurely, "It's time to make the decision to relocate the entire clan."

"Then wouldn't we be fleeing without a fight?!"

Fukasaku immediately became anxious: "Great Sage, you're being foolish! If we lose Mount Myōboku, how many more years can the Gintoki lineage continue? We can't expect to survive by wandering the Desolate Sea! Besides, we won't last until the Uchiha Dynasty collapses!"

The barrenness of the desolate lands, including the lifeless overseas regions, is something the immortals know all too well!

Even ordinary Greninja frogs find the natural energy too scarce on the Ninja World continent and feel uncomfortable. If they were to wander in the even more desolate Wild Sea, the Greninja frog lineage would probably perish naturally without the need for an attack from the Ninja Army!

"A new world is about to appear before our eyes..."

The Toad Immortal's voice, though weary, carried an invigorating and seductive quality: "Whether we can take another step forward depends on whether we can seize the opportunity!"

"A new world?"

This time, even the immortal Fukasaku couldn't understand it.

The entire ninja world has long since been explored. Apart from the ninja continent and the islands in the near sea, could there be some unknown new continent hidden in some obscure corner?!

"The wonders of nature..."

The Toad Sage's voice carried a hint of awe: "By simply crossing a storm barrier, we can reach a more vast and bountiful new world..."

"In the new world, our Greninja lineage might have the opportunity to transform into a nation, and we'll no longer have to control our population due to resource constraints..."

"This……"

The immortal Fukasaku couldn't help but gasp!

The number of eggs laid in a single litter of the Greninja frog can range from dozens to thousands. The stronger the Greninja frog, the fewer eggs it lays. However, due to the limited resources of Mount Myōboku, the mother frogs can only select the best eggs to incubate, and most of the eggs are actively abandoned.

If we can raise Greninjas without restraint, the Greninja lineage could grow to a million members in just a few years!

Even though the vast majority of them are ordinary frogs with little power, once their numbers reach a certain level, they will naturally undergo a qualitative change from a quantitative one. For the Greninja lineage, this is a life-changing event!

"Then we..."

Suppressing his excitement, Fukasaku tentatively asked, "The ninja army will arrive in about ten days. When should we move?"

"You select a thousand ninja frogs, send them out first, then change course and migrate north. At that time, a will will guide you..."

"The Great Toad Immortal said in a low voice."
