After making the decision, Uchiha Tamahiko began to gather his people.
"Shisui, Itachi, this time bring Captain Fugaku along as well. Then, each of you bring three team members, making a total of nine. Also bring Rob Lucci and Kaku. With me, that makes twelve people."
"The main purpose is to prevent Blackbeard's subordinates from escaping when we deal with him. Just have them contain those guys and cut off their escape routes."
Uchiha Tamahiko mused.
With this kind of combat power, if Uchiha Tamahiko were to lead them against Doflamingo right now, it would be an easy victory.
The Uchiha are now Shichibukai, and the Marineford War has attracted the attention of all the powerhouses in this world. No one will pay attention to the uninhabited island near the Calm Belt.
The Marine is also going all out, and the World Government is keeping an eye on the other Four Emperors to prevent more dangerous situations.
The Uchiha's high-end combat power will be away for more than five days, so Uchiha Tamahiko must also ensure the safety of the Clan during this time.
After thinking it through, Uchiha Tamahiko directly found Uchiha Fugaku.
"Captain Fugaku, there's something important this time that requires your help. You'll be responsible for intercepting some enemies and preventing them from escaping."
Uchiha Tamahiko couldn't explain the system mission.
So he decided to use the excuse of working for the World Government to cover his explanation.
"Alright, the Elder can help oversee things. The Clan will be fine."
Fugaku said decisively.
He now unconditionally trusted Uchiha Tamahiko's judgment. Since Tamahiko had approached him directly, it must be an event that absolutely required his intervention.
After Uchiha Tamahiko became Clan Head, he didn't seize any power from him. He was practically a nominal Clan Head, but regarding the Uchiha's external affairs, he was almost a dictator, and Uchiha Fugaku had no objections.
Because almost every day he would recall that if he hadn't listened to Uchiha Tamahiko's advice and led his clansmen to escape to this world...
If they had stayed in Konoha, the Uchiha's fate would have been exactly as Tamahiko said. That night, the Anbu fearlessly delayed him, and Hiruzen Sarutobi personally appeared to take action.
All of this indicated that Konoha had indeed been prepared for a long time to deal with the Uchiha Clan!
Because of Uchiha Tamahiko, the Uchiha Clan was practically reborn. Why wouldn't he trust such a savior!
"Let's depart tomorrow. Also, give the seal for the heart surgery technique that controls Vinsmoke Judge to the Elder responsible for managing the Clan."
Uchiha Tamahiko nodded.
Although he knew Fugaku wouldn't refuse, his decisive agreement still touched him somewhat.
Then he gave him instructions.
Besides the approximately ten Three Tomoe members remaining in the Clan, there was also Vinsmoke Judge as a combat force.
It might be tough against the top three Shichibukai, but it was enough to defend the home.
"Alright!"
Fugaku nodded and then went to make arrangements.
Then Uchiha Tamahiko took out a Den Den Mushi and contacted Shisui, telling him to bring Rob Lucci and Kaku, along with five selected clansmen, to wait for him on the nearest island.
He instructed the others to submit their bounties and then patrol by boat near the Clan territory until they returned.
Shisui didn't ask any questions and immediately began to carry out Uchiha Tamahiko's orders.
After some time of interaction, Rob Lucci and the others became even more curious about the origins of these people, feeling that they were more like members of an intelligence organization than themselves.
They were ruthless and left no survivors.
Their methods for erasing traces were more professional than theirs.
Rob Lucci also had his own ambitions; he wanted to advance further and gain command of this fleet.
But after two covert probes against Uchiha Shisui, he was defeated.
This made him realize that his previous loss to this man wasn't because he was injured and careless, but because this man truly had the strength to defeat him!
"Onii-san, are you going out again?"
Sasuke, clinging to Itachi's leg, was a bit reluctant to part.
After Vinsmoke Judge returned, Itachi went out on a ship once, then came back to monitor Vinsmoke Judge's research.
At the same time, he also had to master the power of the Mangekyo under Fugaku's guidance.
Itachi could now freely use the power of the Mangekyo, having developed both of his eye techniques. However, due to his physical constitution, his Chakra reserves were still not as great as Shisui's and Fugaku's.
He couldn't fight for long periods, but the power he unleashed in short bursts wouldn't be too inferior to Shisui and Fugaku.
"Yes, because there's an important matter that requires my help."
Itachi stroked Sasuke's head, a gentle smile on his face.
Staying on this island these days, he felt incredibly relaxed, free from the pain of being caught between the Clan and the Village, as he had been in Konoha.
Therefore, he had to protect all of this!
Although he didn't know what this mission was for, it was definitely beneficial to the Uchiha!
"Onii-san, good luck!"
"When I grow up, I'll go on missions with you!"
Sasuke also felt a lot less pressure.
He just had fewer childhood playmates, but he felt that his home was much warmer!
"Let's work hard together!"
Itachi said with a smile, stroking Sasuke's head.
Under Uchiha's command, the group quickly made preparations.
All kinds of ninja tools were ready, along with ten new combat suits recently delivered by Germa .
When they left, Vinsmoke Judge had already arranged for people to continue production. Since someone was delivering them, Uchiha Tamahiko didn't stay there waiting.
Once prepared, Uchiha Tamahiko used Susanoo to take Fugaku, his son, and Izumi, and rushed towards where Shisui and the others were waiting.
Shisui was already waiting with his people.
Upon arrival, they immediately boarded the ship.
"Our destination is Marineford. There will be Marines to meet us there."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to the clansman responsible for navigation.
Then he distributed the combat suits to Shisui and the others.
Shisui didn't use the first ten sets they received, mostly giving them to the clansmen who were out hunting pirates.
Some of the selected members also received them, but Uchiha Tamahiko had mentioned in advance that there would be new ones, so he gave the previous combat suits to the clansmen who hadn't come, keeping only one set. With the ones they brought, that made exactly eleven sets; Uchiha Tamahiko didn't need one.
Then, Uchiha Tamahiko began to explain the actual mission they were to undertake.
He didn't want to explain it beforehand, fearing that they would go all out against the Whitebeard Pirates and waste energy.
"So he betrayed the World Government, and it's up to us to wipe out this pirate crew, is that it?"
Shisui finally summarized.
Uchiha Tamahiko nodded.
The others had no objections either, all thinking about how to act.
Rob Lucci, on the other hand, felt this was a good opportunity. Although they had left the World Government, they were still serving it.
Following this man, perhaps they could truly go further!
"Witness the pinnacle battle of this world, understand your place, and let's work hard together!"
Uchiha's words made everyone present feel their blood boil.
The world's strongest man attacking the world's largest power.
It would definitely be an unforgettable battle!
