After this discussion, Uchiha Kagami didn't expect to come up with a secret mission, and it was the highest-level mission in the entire shinobi world. Currently, only he and Fumori Masaki knew about it, and in the future, others might join. This secret mission was undoubtedly very difficult because they didn't even know the true identity of the enemy.
"Masaki, do you think the enemy is a legacy organization or certain individuals?" Uchiha Kagami asked.
"I don't know. I hope it's just a few people, because that would be easier to deal with. Judging from the fact that the enemy's actual power isn't very strong, the latter possibility is greater," Fumori Masaki said.
"But since they were able to tamper with our family's stone tablet, they must have some unique abilities in certain areas, such as that stealth ability, which makes them impossible to guard against," Uchiha Kagami said.
"That's why I think we should lure them out. If we wait, it's too passive. Once they hide in the shadows, they'll be impossible to find again," Fumori Masaki shook his head slightly. "And once they appear, we must kill them with one blow. However, whether we can kill them with one blow is hard to say."
Uchiha Kagami nodded slightly. If one considers the enemy's special abilities, a certain degree of immortality must also be taken into account. There are countless bizarre secret techniques in the shinobi world, such as slightly shifting internal organs to deceive others or other suspended animation techniques. Even the Hidden Leaf Village cannot collect all the secret techniques of the shinobi world.
"I thought of something that might be able to do it," Fumori Masaki then revealed his true purpose. "Kagami, have you heard of the Totsuka Blade?"
"Totsuka Blade? The Sword of Sealing, the legendary Kusanagi Sword. Even if it's just grazed by its light, one will be pulled into an intoxicating dream world, sealed within it, never to return," Uchiha Kagami said skillfully. "In the family's ancient texts, I've seen some descriptions. It seems that some Uchiha ancestors in the past had found this sword."
"Oh?" Fumori Masaki thought,'Sure enough.' The Totsuka Blade was indeed recorded within the Uchiha clan, which is why Uchiha Itachi was able to find it. "Does it say where it is?"
"No," Uchiha Kagami replied. "It is said that the Totsuka Blade is not a physical sword, but rather appears as an ethereal entity. If that's true, then ordinary people probably have no way of finding it."
"But the Sharingan has a certain degree of spiritual perception," Fumori Masaki said decisively. "Kagami, I need to ask you to look for clues about this sword. If we want to eliminate the enemy instantly, I believe this sword will be the key to victory. As long as it can strike them, the opponent will have no chance of turning the tables."
Uchiha Kagami pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He didn't ask a ridiculous question like what if it didn't hit, because with the nature of the Totsuka Blade, merely grazing the opponent was enough. If even grazing them was impossible, then other methods would be even less likely to succeed.
"Thank you, Kagami," Fumori Masaki said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"What's there to thank for? We're family," Uchiha Kagami smiled. "Besides, the other party has been eyeing our family all this time. No matter what, we can't let them off the hook."
When the two walked out of the study, the hot pot was almost finished, and the girls had obviously ended their previous topic and were chatting about other things. Seeing Fumori Masaki and Uchiha Kagami come out, Maki said, "You've been talking for a long time, what were you discussing?"
"Just work-related stuff, you know," Satomi replied.
Fumori Masaki smiled. He couldn't tell others about this matter. Although Black Zetsu shouldn't be able to infiltrate his intelligence network here, the best way to prevent leaks was to let as few people as possible know.
Uchiha Kagami looked at the hot pot on the table and asked the others, "How do you like our homemade soup base? Although it's not quite like yours, it should have a unique flavor, right?"
"Hmm, how should I put it? If it were before, it would probably suit my taste very well," Satomi nodded, looking at the soup in the pot. "However, after Masaki started making those dishes, my taste gradually changed."
Because Fumori Masaki preferred the flavors of his previous life and tried to imitate them at home, over time, Satomi, Akemi, and Asuna's tastes gradually became less like traditional people of the Land of Fire. Uchiha Kagami and others, who occasionally came over for meals, didn't have as noticeable a change in taste as Itachi.
"Combining traditional flavors with the new flavors I've created, it truly has a unique taste, just as you said," Fumori Masaki said. The homemade soup base by Uchiha Kagami was not the traditional Sukiyaki of the Land of Fire, but an improved version based on Fumori Masaki's Chinese cuisine. Fumori Masaki understood this, and in his opinion, this soup base was more suitable for the traditional people of the shinobi world.
"I think, in the future, when we invite foreign dignitaries from other hidden villages, we can let them enjoy it," Fumori Masaki continued.
"Foreign dignitaries? Are you going to invite guests from other hidden villages in the future?" Uchiha Kagami asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, to maintain the alliance, allied nations must maintain friendly exchanges and make progress together. Besides the Five Kage Summit, discussions with smaller countries should also be held frequently so that they can understand the intentions of our Hidden Leaf Village," Fumori Masaki said.
"Alright, alright, it's a good time to rest, let's not talk about work matters," Satomi and Maki said as they cleaned up together, giving the two a glance while tidying up.
"Alright, alright," Fumori Masaki said no more and went with Uchiha Kagami to help clean up, while the other young people chatted together. After they finished cleaning up, they joined in, chatting about everyday things and so on.
When they came to their senses, it was already very late. Uchiha Kagami asked everyone to stay and rest there. They had already prepared rooms. As the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kagami's house was undoubtedly very large, with many empty rooms, so accommodating guests was no problem at all.
"Then we'll trouble you," Fumori Masaki also didn't want to walk any further. It was so late, so he would just rest here.
"Speaking of which, I've never really stayed at Mizuki's house before," Akemi said, looking at Mizuki with a smile.
"Now you can try it! Let's all stay in one room," Mizuki quickly said. Except for Fumori Masaki and his wife, everyone else was a girl, so staying in one room was fine.
"Perfect, we can even whisper secrets," Akemi looked at Kushina with a sly smile and said, "Kushina, then you can tell us all about that guy named Minato Namikaze."
"Then you have to tell us too," Kushina, of course, understood what the other person was thinking and replied without showing any weakness. The latter frowned slightly, then nodded gently, indicating that she wasn't afraid and was ready for it.
Mizuki, on the other hand, glanced at Asuna, leaned in gently, and secretly touched her arm. When the other person turned her head, she whispered, "Do you really have someone you like?"
"This…"
Asuna's voice paused, and her expression didn't seem very rich, but Mizuki, who was familiar with her, immediately understood and pouted, "Oh, you've been hiding it from me."
"There's nothing to talk about," Asuna turned her head slightly, a little embarrassed.
Mizuki raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh, you're still not going to tell me, are you? Then I'll have to ask you properly. You won't get any rest tonight!"
Seeing this scene, Tsunade chuckled inwardly, wondering why they were so concerned. What was meant to come would always come, and it wasn't a big deal, so she wasn't in a hurry—although she wasn't young anymore, and her elderly parents at home had been asking her about this matter.
The girls chattered and went into the room. Satomi and Maki also went in to help. Although they lived together, they still had to sleep with their husbands.
Fumori Masaki and Uchiha Kagami stayed outside for a while, walking together into the courtyard and looking at the sky. Although it was late, the prosperous Hidden Leaf Village had not completely quieted down. Because the war was about to end, people couldn't help but celebrate the arrival of peace. If they weren't in the Uchiha clan's residence, but outside, they would surely hear the voices of the people.
"I originally thought I could get a good night's rest tonight, but I didn't expect to analyze such a thing, which made me feel nervous," Uchiha Kagami said.
"Relax, this is a long process, and often nothing will happen for a long time," Fumori Masaki looked at the sky. "You just rest well now and wait for the other party to jump out themselves."
"Easier said than done. I'm not like you, able to maintain that state of mind," Uchiha Kagami pouted.
"Did you try the meditation cultivation method I told you about before?"
"Yes, but the effect wasn't particularly good."
"Is that so? It seems it's not particularly complete yet. It seems that lowering the threshold for Sage Mode is not an easy task," Fumori Masaki sighed, looking at the mark on his palm. "It's not easy to get chakra from the Four-Tails Son Goku either. We'll have to ask the new Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village to help."
"You could also ask the Nine-Tails for help. In the past, there wasn't a good mental connection method, but now with my Mangekyo Sharingan, it's easier to enter the Tailed Beast's mental space," Uchiha Kagami said.
"Tsk, that's true, but I don't know if the Nine-Tails will be easy to talk to. That's a rather troublesome fox. Although the One-Tail is also said to be very troublesome, at least the new Kazekage Bunpuku is a respected person, so their relationship might not be bad. As for how Kushina gets along with the Nine-Tails, she never says when I ask her on a daily basis."
"Since you plan to do this, then you'll have to build good relationships with the Tailed Beasts in the future. If there really are achievements in the research of natural energy, then for the Tailed Beasts, there will be no need to use the Jinchuriki method, which is hard on both sides. Even if there are still Jinchuriki, it should be by mutual consent," Uchiha Kagami said.
"Yes, my future idea for the Tailed Beasts is a joint alliance to protect them, prevent anyone from using their power, and prevent the Tailed Beasts from causing harm to the populace due to a whim. By cooperating friendly with the Tailed Beasts, we can better utilize each other's power," Fumori Masaki nodded slightly.
"That's truly something to look forward to. The Jinchuriki method used to seem fine, but now it doesn't seem so good," Uchiha Kagami said with a smile.
The two spoke while looking at the sky, which glowed faintly due to the bustling market, quietly enjoying the view. Although the war on the eastern front had not yet ended, an atmosphere of peace already enveloped the village. Everyone sincerely hoped that peace could be maintained indefinitely.
