Chapter 45: Invitation from Uchiha Yugu

  Uchiha Akihiko left in a fit of anger. Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo, who was left behind, stood there bnkly for a moment. Then, he shrugged with a smile and walked back.

  After dinner, Uchiha Ryo seriously thought about the issue of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan. However, due to the ck of information, he repeatedly calcuted based on the three - tomoe Sharingan and only concluded that awakening might be reted to one's emotional changes.

  [In essence, the more extreme the emotions, the stronger the strength, and the stronger the strength, the more extreme the emotions...] Leaning against the futon, Uchiha Ryo looked a bit troubled. [It's such a strength that's both vexing and irresistible to pursue...]

  As Akihiko described, the stele records about the tomoe Sharingan were the same as what Ryo had seen before, which was normal. However, the records about the Mangekyo Sharingan were extremely strange. It actually encouraged them to kill each other... Could it be a misinterpretation caused by the difference between ancient and modern grammar?

  This was really disturbing. It seemed that Uchiha Ryo had to find time to go to the pce where the cn records were stored and rummage through them to see if there were earlier cn records to provide additional evidence...

  Uchiha Ryo thought a lot, but in the end, he could only temporarily suppress his suspicion and wait for Uchiha Akihiko to bring more detailed information.

  Before getting more detailed information about the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Ryo got an invitation from Uchiha Yugu to join the supply lines team.

  "Ask me to be the escort for the supply lines team?" Uchiha Ryo tilted his head and stopped swinging his sword. "Are you starting to handle the logistics?"

  "Yeah, it's just a small supply run. If it goes well, I'll start handling all the logistics. You free?"

  "Yeah, I'm fine with it," Uchiha Ryo nodded in agreement. "But if you're looking for a sensory ninja to join the team, Hiro, who is a medical ninja, would be more suitable than me... Well, considering my current state — are you sure it's okay?"

  "I asked him. He said he's swamped with chakra nature transformation training and can't make it. Told me to come to you 'cause you're up for missions again."

  "I see... Then it's okay. When do we set off?"

  "The day after tomorrow. Bring your own supplies and meet me at my pce." Uchiha Yugu looked around, then took out a Scroll of Seals. "I've brought the additional bird feed you asked for st time — but those two crows won't be able to finish it before it goes bad. Did they bring back their mates, so you needed more bird feed?"

  "No, actually, I think it tastes quite good, so I want to use it as a snack... And Izuna seems to love it too."

  "......Can't you just buy nuts?"

  "Don't I have to shell them myself?" Uchiha Ryo tilted his head. "Moreover, you've added flour and other things to the bird feed, and it can also provide a small amount of staple food. Isn't it better than Military Rations Pill?"

  Uchiha Yugu opened his mouth several times but finally said nothing. He just repeated the meeting time for the day after tomorrow and then left.

  After Uchiha Yugu left, Uchiha Ryo summoned Sanzu and sent it to find Hiro and Uchiha Akihiko respectively. He told them that he had to go on a mission, so the scheduled things needed to be postponed for a few days.

  Hiro didn't have any objections. After all, it was he who asked Uchiha Yugu to find Uchiha Ryo. So he just gave Uchiha Ryo another physical examination. After confirming that his injuries had healed, he sent him back where he came from.

  But there was a big problem (Mondai) with Uchiha Akihiko. He just couldn't - or rather, didn't want to believe that Uchiha Ryo had recovered from his injuries faster than him and was already pnning to go on a mission. With a dark face, he said "Got it" and kicked Uchiha Ryo out of his house.

  His decisive action made Uchiha Ryo wonder for quite a while why he was kicked out.

  However, he soon stopped thinking about it. After telling his family about his pn, he seriously considered the mission for the day after tomorrow and arrived at the rendezvous point on time early the day after.

  This supply lines mission was not the rge - scale supply for the entire Uchiha cn as in the past, but a small - scale one that wouldn't affect the cn's operation. This was also the best time for the cn to establish a new trading route.

  However, the essence of this supply lines mission was a test for the power transfer between the new and old generations of the Uchiha cn. After confirming that the younger generation could stabilize the situation, these ninjas whose bodies were starting to decline would go to the most intense battlefields to py their st role.

  Since it was a test, there were naturally other cn members participating besides Uchiha Yugu.

  The test would evaluate from multiple aspects, including the time taken for the supply lines, the ryo spent, the team's casualty situation, and the quality of the supplies. After several rounds, the best - performing cn member would be selected as the general logistics supervisor.

  Uchiha Yugu himself was not skilled in fighting and had no ambition for power. All he wanted was to quickly gather people to complete the mission and then go back to tinker with the summoned beasts. That's why when his peers in the team were discussing whether to let Uchiha Ryo be the team leader, he casually gave up the position without caring at all.

  Uchiha Ryo was quite helpless about this. After all, he didn't pn to transfer to logistics. So when Uchiha Yugu intended to be a hands - off manager, Uchiha Ryo seriously expined the pros and cons and said that he would obey the command - unless it involved combat.

  Uchiha Yugu reluctantly agreed, took out the prepared Scroll of Seals and distributed them to everyone. "Our mission this time is to deal with the Nara Cn, a ninja cn living on the border between the Land of Fire and the Country of Tea. The goal is to establish long - term trade retions with them and get drug supplies from them... Any thoughts?"

  "The Nara Cn? I haven't heard much about them..." The young man with slightly curly hair crossed his arms. "Shouldn't it be a ninja cn that often goes to war, right?"

  The girl standing next to him gave a little nod. "Yeah, their cn mainly makes a living by growing drugs, selling intelligence, and assassination. They don't participate much in frontal battles. Sometimes when they encounter conflicts due to missions, they mostly choose to retreat - they're a retively peaceful ninja cn."

  The young man then turned to the side. "Hey, bro, is that true?"

  Hearing this, Uchiha Yugu looked up and gnced at the young boy. "Yes, that's right. The Nara Cn is a peaceful ninja cn."

  Seeing this, the young boy reached out his hand and poked the girl. "Hey, Rin, tell me more about the Nara Cn, okay?"

  Hearing this, Rin frowned with a bit of impatience. "I only know this much. Go ask Uchiha Ryo."

  "So cold - hearted..." the young boy muttered, but still obediently turned to Uchiha Ryo's direction. "Hey, Brother Uchiha Ryo, tell me about it, okay?"

  "Um, the Nara Cn..." Uchiha Ryo stroked his chin, with a bit more smile on his lips. "I encountered a ninja from the Nara Cn during a mission before. How can I put it? It's a somewhat zy cn."

  The young boy wanted to ask more, but Uchiha Yugu spoke first. "Uchiha Mori, tie up the Scroll for me. And if you have that kind of curiosity, read more books. Don't pester others to ask questions every time we're on a mission."

  Hearing this, Uchiha Mori subtly stuck out his tongue, but was not the least bit afraid of Uchiha Yugu's cold face. "I don't want to. Reading books is so boring and makes one sleepy. A ninja has to stay awake at all times!"
