"Elder Hiroki, did you call for me?"
Lifting the curtain, Kyosuke found that a group of important figures had gathered inside the tent.
Even Tenjin was present, which was unusual, as he usually refrained from attending Uchiha meetings.
This scene indicated that they were preparing for something significant.
Ignoring Yayoi, who was kneeling at the back, Kyosuke confidently sat down and asked with a light chuckle, "I'm here, just tell me what the matter is."
Seeing this, Elder Hiroki took out a declassified letter and passed it around for everyone to read.
When it reached Kyosuke, the "Dance King" couldn't help but ask, "A surprise attack on the convoy in the Land of the Whirlpools?"
"That's right," Elder Hiroki nodded and said, "The enemy is conducting long-distance operations, and their subsequent supply lines are likely to face problems."
"Reliable sources have informed us that several supply caravans disguised as merchant convoys are heading toward the battlefield. I need you to intercept them."
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke and Madara exchanged a glance, still not understanding Elder Hiroki's true intention.
Attacking the supply convoy could be done by sending a few subordinates, so why make such a big deal out of it?
This meant that Elder Hiroki likely had other plans.
Sure enough, Elder Hiroki soon revealed his true purpose: "After destroying the convoy, I want you to charge deep into the Land of the Whirlpools and cause chaos."
"I will launch a full-scale assault at the same time. If Uzumaki Ashina doesn't retreat, he will face the fall of his country."
Clearly, Elder Hiroki had no intention of continuing to stall with the enemy.
"Deep into enemy territory, huh," Kyosuke shrugged, showing no concern for the difficulty of the task.
With the Flying Thunder God technique, it didn't matter whether the battle was in enemy territory or not; it made no difference to him.
Not only Elder Hiroki, but Kyosuke was also tired of fighting against the Uzumaki clan.
In fact, his long years of warfare had made him mentally and physically exhausted.
If it weren't for the points system, he wouldn't want to keep immersing himself in bloodshed.
He enjoyed fighting, yes, but it couldn't go on endlessly.
"Can't even let me live?" he sighed inwardly.
The Flying Thunder God still hadn't reached the second stage, largely due to his ongoing war career.
If he had enough time to practice, he would have mastered the ability to teleport to moving coordinates by now.
"I really want to take a break," Kyosuke thought with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Madara's expression shifted, as if he had realized the brilliance of the plan.
The mobility of space ninjutsu would make it difficult for the enemy to track their movements.
If the enemy couldn't find them, the Land of the Whirlpools would continue to be passive, and eventually, the Uzumaki clan would have to take action.
At that point, the power of the Uzumaki clan would easily be resolved.
"It's a good plan," Madara nodded, his voice serious.
"The team shouldn't be too large. Just the two of us will be enough."
"Two?"
Elder Hiroki glanced at Izuna, hesitating slightly.
"Isn't that a bit too few?"
"I'll go too," Izuna spoke up, but was immediately silenced by his older brother's glare.
"Stay here and help Elder Hiroki," Kyosuke said with a side glance.
The troops they brought were loyal to their father, Tajima, and without them, the entire camp would be in disarray.
Therefore, Izuna had to remain behind.
However, two people were indeed a bit too few. If they encountered a large-scale encirclement, they would only be forced to flee.
Maya and Izumi needed to lead the troops, so Kyosuke couldn't bring them along, and Madara's side was likely in a similar situation.
Without near-elite Jonin-level strength, they would only be a hindrance.
For a moment, no one could find a suitable candidate.
Until Tenjin spoke up.
"For the team, let Yayoi go with you," Tenjin suggested.
"With her Byakugan, the mission should go smoothly."
What he didn't say was that his disciple's strength was likely comparable to that of the two others.
Yayoi, 13 years old, a little older than Madara, originally had extraordinary talent.
Since implanting the Otsutsuki cells, her cellular activity had greatly increased.
In other words, her chakra reserves had grown significantly.
Although not on the level of Mito's Yin seal or Hashirama's, her chakra far exceeded that of an average Jonin.
In fact, her chakra reserves might even surpass Madara's current capacity.
Of course, Kyosuke knew the price behind this. No power came without a cost.
All gifts of fate had their price.
Accepting power meant enduring the pain of cellular backlash, and to accept this help, Yayoi had to betray her entire clan.
No one would freely give such gifts without a hidden agenda.
The only difference was whether the recipient was aware of it.
"Fine."
Elder Hiroki smiled, his gaze sweeping over the three of them. "This war is entrusted to you."
"Once I leave, the camp will be in your hands."
After taking the supplies prepared by Maya, he gave a brief instruction and made his way to the agreed meeting point.
Soon, he met the lightly armed Madara.
Seeing the large bag on Madara's back, Kyosuke couldn't help but shake his head in resignation.
He knew there was no convincing him to live in poverty.
This guy, wherever he went, needed to be well-fed and well-treated, never compromising on food.
"What a shame," Madara said regretfully, patting Kyosuke's shoulder.
"We couldn't keep the princess of the Uzumaki clan. If you had married her, the Land of the Whirlpools might have become our ally."
"Huh?"
Kyosuke looked at him in disbelief. "Marry that bean sprout?"
'Maybe when she's on par with Tsunade, then we can talk about it.'
Wait a second, did Madara just—
Kyosuke turned his head, his face darkening. "Do you have anything to explain about the rumors that have been circulating lately?"
He had thought, how could rumors about Mito's pregnancy have spread so suddenly? Now it made sense—it was all Madara's doing.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Madara replied, avoiding Kyosuke's glare.
"Stop turning away, look me in the eye, you bastard!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Heh, your ability to lie is as bad as your Body Flicker technique."
The two stood at the entrance of the camp, bickering, until Yayoi arrived, bringing a temporary halt to their argument.
"Let's go," Madara took charge, and the three-person team quickly headed east toward the Land of Fire.
To disrupt the morale of the Uzumaki clan, they had to make the enemy fear them.
So, after eliminating the disguised supply convoy, they would charge straight into the enemy's headquarters.
With the capital in danger and their family at risk, Kyosuke was certain that the Uzumaki clan couldn't stay idle for long.
To avoid their extinction, the Uzumaki army had to return quickly.
For Kyosuke himself, the Land of the Whirlpools still held many treasures worth exploring.
Such as various sealing scrolls, and the strange mask that could connect to the Shinigami.
