In this world, influence is everything.

Chapter 74 In this world, influence is everything.

"Lord Hui!"

Uchiha Teru received a warm welcome from all the Uchiha clan members on his way to the clan chief's camp, and he became a legendary figure in the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Teru calmly enjoyed everything, pretending to be completely unmoved by the admiration, which only attracted more worship from the Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan reveres power, and the current special circumstances of war have led to a rapid rise in Uchiha Akira's status.

It has become one of the important pillars of the war between the Uchiha and the Mist Ninja.

As Uchiha Teru entered the clan leader's barracks, he saw Uchiha Fugaku with a worried expression and many Uchiha elites.

Fugaku Uchiha is very troubled right now.

Orders came from the upper echelons of Konoha, ordering him to lead Uchiha Shisui and a portion of the Uchiha elites to support the eastern front headquarters and defend against an attack from Kumogakure.

The problem is that the battle between the Uchiha and Kirigakure is not over yet, and Ao, who just retreated, will not give up easily.

If the Kirigakure ninja were to attack again after he and the Uchiha elites leave, it could cause significant damage, or even lead to the loss of the front line.

"Sigh! I don't know why they issued such an order, without considering the Uchiha's situation at all."

Fugaku Uchiha hesitated. Executing the order was too risky, but not executing it was also not an option. Disobeying military orders on the battlefield had severe consequences that the Uchiha clan could not afford.

"Hui, what do you think? Should we agree?"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Kaguya Uchiha and asked her a question, in an attempt to win her over.

"The order must be carried out, but how should it be carried out? We can try. Those present are all elites, but aren't the ordinary tribespeople also elites?"

"This order is simply because headquarters or other high-ranking officials see that our war with the Mist Ninja has temporarily stopped, so they want to take the opportunity to redeploy forces. But this is against the rules. As long as we get through this, we will have much more autonomy in the future."

"And if the war isn't over, can't we just use an emergency military situation as an excuse? After all, the Mist Ninja are watching us like tigers, and we can't do anything about it, can we?"

"But now the war has temporarily ended, and the Mist Ninja will not cooperate with our actions."

Shisui said with a frown.

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Shisui, his former idol, but now surpassed him, and said:

"War is a two-way street. If the Mist Ninja won't attack, then we can attack the Mist Ninja."

After listening, Shisui seemed to want to speak but hesitated, yet still wanted to speak.

That same expression again, so weak. Just say what you want to say, like him.

The Uchiha genius is never wrong; even if he is, it's the world's fault.

Fugaku Uchiha sighed and chose a compromise.

"Zhishui and I led some clansmen to the eastern front headquarters to explain the situation. During this period, Yaowei will temporarily take charge of everything."

Uchiha Yakumi stood up and bowed slightly. He was Uchiha Fugaku's right-hand man and had been through many battles, so everyone respected him.

Fugaku Uchiha ultimately chose to carry out the order; as the head of the Uchiha clan, he had more to consider.

If the discount is applied this time, who knows if the Uchiha will receive the same discount when they need support?

Fighting the commander on the battlefield is suicide; with Shisui and me, we should be able to silence the others.

……

On the ship bound for the Land of Hot Springs.

Suigetsu Hozuki is communicating with his partner.

When he tried to obtain information about the Uchiha clan of the Land of Hot Water, he obtained a detailed intelligence report.

Looking at the detailed intelligence in his hand, Suigetsu Hobuki was completely dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at this seemingly fake intelligence.

What is cooperation? This is cooperation!

They dare to sell such important information; that's incredibly audacious!

Suigetsu Hobutsuki couldn't help but sigh, realizing that his skill level was ultimately inferior to his opponent's and that he still needed to work harder.

At the same time, he recognized that the other party was the same kind of person as himself, and that he could expand the scope of cooperation in the future. He really liked the idea of ​​gaining significant benefits without any danger.

After Suigetsu Hozuki appeared, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appeared one after another. Now they need to discuss how to complete the Mizukage's mission.

Although they were all very confident in themselves, the reputation of the Uchiha clan as the number one clan in the ninja world was not weak either.

"If you ask me, we should just charge straight in. My Thunder Blade is invincible. I still need to hold the funeral."

"I don't care," said Raiga Kurozumi, his face showing indifference.

"Intelligence is still very important. I believe everyone has heard of the reputation of the Uchiha Sharingan. No one wants to lose a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"The frontline commander of the Mist Ninja is Ao. We'll ask him for information later."

When Pipa Juzo offered his suggestion, it garnered approval from the others.

After all, who would willingly take risks if they could carry out a mission safely?

"Qingxing? He's been in command these past few days and hasn't breached a single line of defense. We have to clean up his mess. What a useless piece of trash!"

"We don't want to end up with absolutely no information about the Uchiha clan!"

Wu Li Shenba looked down on Qing, and it was a waste to give such a guy a disdainful look.

It would be better to transplant it to him. As the user of the Exploding Blade: Spray, he would definitely be able to unleash the power of the Byakugan more effectively than Ao.

Everyone glanced at Muri Shinpachi's left eye, which was covered by a black eyepatch, and understood the source of his immense hostility towards Ao.

"There are also members of the Hyuga clan on the battlefield of this mission. Maybe we can encounter a member of the main branch and obtain a pair of Byakugan."

Pipa Juzo tried to make empty promises, but Nori Jinpachi simply wouldn't buy it.

"Ever since the Hyuga main family had their Byakugan confiscated by the village, they have dared not appear on the battlefield again, even with the protection of the branch family."

"We still need to gather information about the Uchiha clan. Let's ask Ao about it after we get to the shore."

Juzo Biwa also gave up. The entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist gathered, forming a powerful force, so there was no need to be too careful.

"I don't care. No matter what kind of defense you have, it's meaningless in front of me."

The man holding the blunt knife, the "Helmsman," was very confident.

"I know about the Uchiha clan."

Suigetsu Hozuki, holding Samehada, said casually.

"You know that?!"

The way people around him were looking at him was strange.

"I have my own intelligence channels. Fugaku Uchiha and the Uchiha elites have already left for Konoha headquarters."

"Now is the weakest point in the Uchiha defenses, and the seven of us can break through easily."

Suigetsu Hozuki said casually, and then took out a map from his pocket, which showed the Uchiha's defenses.

"Let's take a look. It's still somewhat authentic, but we only have this much information because of the limited time."

Suigetsu Hozuki inadvertently displayed his strength, and looking at the six people who were shocked, he revealed a smug expression.

Are you really that good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting if you're not good enough? In this world, you need influence and power.
