The large meeting concluded, and a smaller meeting immediately began.
There were eleven people in total.
Three elders.
Four Mangekyo users.
The rest were squad leaders.
"What we discussed just now was general information and common knowledge. Next, we will delve into more specific matters."
"Do not resist. I will convey it to you using genjutsu."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to the group inside the newly constructed house.
Everyone nodded, abandoning their resistance to the genjutsu.
Although genjutsu couldn't be used on people from the Pirate World, it was indeed a very fast and detailed method for transmitting information.
"The top-tier gap, is the power difference really that great!"
After awakening from the genjutsu, Uchiha Fugaku's expression was very solemn.
Because Uchiha Tamahiko had previously said that the Marine possessed five Hokage-level powers, he still felt that the Uchiha Clan could be a bit more assertive, as they already had four Mangekyo users.
However, the five Hokage he spoke of were super-Kage level like the Second Hokage, not an aging Hokage like the Third Hokage.
The strongest among them could even contend with the First Hokage.
This was an opponent the Uchiha Clan currently had no way of defeating.
"The Captains of the Four Emperors Pirate Crews also possess such power!"
"This world is truly not simple!"
"The Uchiha should proceed cautiously at first, absorbing the methods of becoming stronger in this world. We too will one day reach that level."
Everyone else also spoke up one after another.
Although they felt immense pressure, these individuals were also the most confident among the Uchiha Clan.
A challenging spirit surged within them, believing that the Uchiha Clan, with such an opportunity, would surely become stronger than them.
"The Uchiha Clan did not come to this world to live in seclusion, so we will eventually be exposed to the gaze of these forces."
"Not wanting to repeat the situation in Konoha, the Uchiha now need a suitable identity. I have decided to become a Shichibukai, using the power of the Shichibukai to protect the Uchiha Clan."
Uchiha Tamahiko nodded, then stated his plan.
Aside from the system's reasons, the Shichibukai identity was indeed quite suitable.
Otherwise, if the Uchiha were to become an illegal force, they would have to clash with the Marine, which would be very troublesome. Uchiha Tamahiko did not want the clan to waste time on this.
Becoming a Shichibukai could solve many problems, such as identity, power, and even their origins.
"Shichibukai is indeed a good choice."
Fugaku nodded, also agreeing with this matter.
The others naturally had no objections, as the Shichibukai were relatively independent. Although they were under the World Government, they usually did not have to obey the Marine's orders.
If they were to directly join the World Government and become a member, it would make people very uncomfortable.
With the experience of Konoha, the Uchiha no longer wished to entrust their lifeline to others!
"For the first outing, I need to take most of our fighting power. The nearest country is the Spring Queen's City, a small nation. After gathering some intelligence, I will arrange for people to bring back a batch of supplies first."
"This world has communication tools called Den Den Mushi. Have someone bring them back then. I might not be able to return for a while, so I'll entrust this place to you, Captain Fugaku."
"Also, this scroll contains the training methods for the Eight Gates Formation and Rasengan. Have everyone cultivate these two Ninjutsu as quickly as possible. One can enhance physical fitness, and the other can provide powerful single-point attacks."
Uchiha Tamahiko arranged, simultaneously handing a scroll to Uchiha Fugaku.
When he first came in, he spent some time confirming the exact location, which is why he chose this spot.
This isolated island is currently near the Calm Belt and doesn't have much freshwater, which is why it's uninhabited.
But for the Uchiha Clan, it's no problem at all. Ninja can walk on water, and the occasionally appearing Sea Kings are completely suppressed by the Sharingan.
Even a Three Tomoe Sharingan can deter these Sea Kings, making them flee in fear.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of things here."
Fugaku nodded. He was also single-mindedly focused on restoring the Uchiha's glory.
At the same time, he was surprised that Uchiha Tamahiko had obtained the training methods for these two Ninjutsu. After all, one was a forbidden Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, which later gained fame when Might Duy used it to kill four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The other was a Ninjutsu uniquely created by the Fourth Hokage!
However, these two Ninjutsu were indeed very useful for the current Uchiha.
"This time, Itachi, Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, and Izumi, you will all go."
Uchiha Tamahiko continued to arrange.
"I can go too. My injuries are just superficial. I'm fine for combat."
Shisui, hearing his name wasn't mentioned, quickly spoke up.
However, his injuries were actually very severe, and he would have virtually no significant fighting power for a month.
"Shisui, you should stay here and recover from your injuries."
"Besides, this place also needs someone to protect it. I now also have the Mangekyo Sharingan and can protect everyone!"
Itachi quickly spoke up.
He cared deeply for his good friend; otherwise, he wouldn't have activated his Mangekyo immediately upon hearing the news of his death.
Beside him, Uchiha Izumi stared intently at Shisui.
She felt that this man indeed seemed a bit more handsome than herself. Was that why Itachi was so good to Shisui?
Izumi was Itachi's contemporary, a genius second only to Itachi, who activated her Three Tomoe Sharingan at thirteen and achieved Jonin level strength.
"I betrayed the clan before, and now, I only want to give back more!"
Shisui shook his head, then said very seriously.
Itachi noticed that Shisui's eyes had completely lost their former optimism; simply put, they had lost their light.
"Since you think you're fine, then come along."
"The main objective this time is to gather intelligence and acquire supplies, so the danger level isn't high."
"Yashiro, arrange the personnel. Prepare to depart tomorrow."
Uchiha Tamahiko nodded, then gave instructions to the squad leaders of the Military Police Force.
"Yes!"
Yashiro and the others immediately left the house to find the clan members outside who were already eagerly waiting to sign up.
Throughout the night, the entire island was bustling.
They had brought back quite a few supplies from Konoha. This time, they took Ninjutsu tools but left all the food and other items behind.
Water resources weren't needed as they could use Water Release to condense water vapor.
For food, they could only eat seafood for now.
The abilities of a Ninja were very useful for wilderness survival.
The next morning, the five ships were basically filled with people.
The shipbuilding technology wasn't good; one could say the ships were almost just planks of wood pieced together. But it didn't affect them much; this was just a place to rest.
Once they reached a town, they would switch to new ships.
"Bang."
"This world's magnetic field is very strange; compasses are ineffective. However, animals' magnetic sense for finding direction is still fine."
"For now, we'll use these summoned Crows to record locations. Later, we'll replace them with direction-finding tools from this world."
Uchiha Tamahiko summoned some Crows, distributing them to Shisui, Itachi, and Yashiro, among others.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the clan members on the island, the five ships immediately left the shore and sailed towards the sea.
