Chapter 246

Alan spread a Ninja World map on the ground, marking the locations of the various ninja villages and some key intelligence.

"Locations confirmed. Now assigning tasks." Alan pointed to the center of the map, his tone steady. "Entering the Naruto World this time consumed a huge amount of points. We must ensure every point invested yields the maximum return."

Levi scanned the markers on the map: "It's currently the Third Great Ninja War. Ninja from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are all concentrated on the border battlefields..."

"Nothing to discuss." Bruce stood up, his burly frame nearly two meters tall exuding immense oppressive feeling:

"Defense of this level isn't worth mentioning." Bruce cracked his knuckles. "Whether it's the Third Hokage or the Third Raikage, by the Main God Space's power rating, they're at most Level 5. Not even comparable to ordinary mission targets from our previous world."

Alan narrowed his eyes, sweeping his gaze over several markers on the map: "Bruce is right. The strongest of this world are child's play before us."

He turned to Linda: "You and Bruce go to Kirigakure. The Three-Tails Isobu and Six-Tails are under Kirigakure's control. With your strength, you can handle them."

Bruce clenched his fist, his joints cracking: "A little shrimp like the Three-Tails, I can take it down with one hand."

"Fine." Alan's finger slid across the map, finally stopping at the Konoha marker: "I'll act alone and head straight to Konoha. The Nine-Tails is the strongest of all Tailed Beasts; I must handle it personally."

"I'll lead the newcomers to Amegakure." Levi closed his notebook. "Nagato's Rinnegan is top priority. We must get it as soon as possible, then regroup."

"It's settled." Alan stood up, his black kimono fluttering without wind. "Remember, this world is just our resource point. We must complete the mission in the shortest time possible."

Bruce licked his lips: "Don't worry. These natives don't even know what real power is."

"Move." Alan said softly.

"Hum!"

His figure vanished from the spot instantly, without any warning.

"Still so fond of showing off." Bruce shook his head at where Alan had disappeared, turning to Linda beside him. "Time for us to depart."

He crouched slightly, and red energy flames suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Linda immediately moved close to him, and Bruce placed his right hand on her shoulder.

"Hold on tight."

The next moment, Bruce stomped the ground hard. With a loud bang, the ground instantly caved into a deep pit.

"Boom!"

A sonic boom rang out, and Bruce's figure turned into a streak of light vanishing into the horizon. The air wave kicked up dust everywhere, and surrounding trees were snapped at the waist by the powerful shockwave.

"This guy"

Levi pushed his wind-twisted glasses back up, took a metal disc from his waist, and lightly tossed it into the air.

"Get on." Levi jumped onto the platform, gesturing for the two newcomers to follow.

The two newcomers exchanged glances and also leaped onto the platform.

Levi entered several commands on the control panel. The hover platform instantly accelerated, its thrusters spraying pale blue tail flames, carrying the three toward the Land of Rain.

At the same time, Bruce carried Linda as they moved quickly. Every landing left a deep pit in the ground.

The next moment, his leg muscles suddenly exerted force, and his whole body shot into the sky like a shell, breaking directly through the cloud layer.

"Bruce, your power control is getting better and better." Linda said calmly during the rapid ascent.

"Of course." Bruce grinned. "But this kind of jump is no different from a walk for me."

The two passed through the cloud layer. Bruce scanned the terrain below and soon locked onto the target direction.

"The coastline is ahead." Linda looked ahead. "According to the map, crossing this sea will get us to Kirigakure."

"Wait." Linda suddenly pressed on Bruce's shoulder. "Something's wrong ahead."

Bruce landed on a high point and set Linda down. "What is it?"

On the distant coastline stood a prosperous port city. Large merchant ships came and went in an endless stream, and the port's guard team patrolled in uniform.

"That should be the Land of Waves, no doubt." Linda took out a map to confirm the location. "But according to intelligence, the Land of Waves at this time should be very poor, not even having a proper port."

"Wait!" Bruce's eyes narrowed, pointing at a flag in the port. "That symbol... is the Uchiha Clan's fan!"

Linda's pupils shrank sharply. "Uchiha? Aren't they supposed to be in Konoha?"

The two continued observing and found that Uchiha clansmen guarded the port's key positions.

Merchant ships entering and leaving had to undergo their inspection. Obviously, this had been operating for a long time, not like a temporary occupation.

"Could it be that other Reincarnators entered this world ahead of time and changed the plot's course?" Bruce said in a low voice.

"Impossible." Linda shook her head, her expression grave. "We paid a high price for the pass to the original world. The Main God Space clearly guaranteed that no Reincarnators had entered this world."

"Then is it a parallel world?" Bruce leaned against a tree trunk, a glint of interest in his eyes. "The Uchiha Clan deviated from the original story at some point and chose a different path on their own?"

"That possibility is high." Linda put down her telescope. "But the question is, what exactly caused them to leave Konoha? And who gave them the strength and courage to occupy the Land of Waves' port?"

"Let's infiltrate first and see the situation." Linda continued. "If it's really a butterfly effect caused by internal changes, many of our plans will need readjustment."

"Doesn't matter." Bruce grinned. "No matter how much things change, these natives' limits are set. A mere Uchiha Clan isn't enough to affect our actions."

"Don't be careless." Linda's expression was serious. "We'd better figure out the situation before... Bruce! Did you hear what I said?"

Bruce had already picked her up, and energy flames erupted beneath his feet again. "Why think so much? Just kill our way in and we'll know!"

Linda sighed helplessly. After partnering with Bruce for so long, she had long grown used to his personality.

But what he said wasn't wrong. If something unexpected happened, the Main God should warn them.

"Boom!"

Bruce carried Linda and landed instantly at the center of the port dock. A huge shockwave smashed a deep pit into the ground, sending rubble flying.

"Enemy!" a Uchiha clansman shouted.

In an instant, over a dozen Uchiha clansmen wearing clan emblems surrounded them from all directions, their Sharingan glowing with blood-red light simultaneously.

"Stop!"

Several patrolling Uchiha clansmen immediately surrounded them:

"According to Article Three of the 'Ninja World Peace Treaty' signed by the Five Great Nations, the Land of Waves port area has been formally placed under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha Clan.

Anyone entering without permission will be punished for the 'Crime of Destroying Ninja World Order' and executed on sight!"

"Ninja World Peace Treaty?" Bruce and Linda exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

"Bruce." Linda sensed something wrong first. "These people's aura..."

"They're just natives." Bruce strode forward, "Let me give you a demonstration first!"

【61】 "Just some natives." Bruce strode forward, "Let me give you a demonstration first!"

More Uchiha clansmen quickly arrived, surrounding the two of them. The captain of the guard said coldly, "Final warning: surrender, or else."

【62】 More Uchiha clansmen quickly arrived, surrounding the two of them. The captain of the guard leading them said coldly, "Final warning: surrender, or else—"

"Or else what?" Bruce grinned, "Just you lot... huh?"

【63】 "Or else what?" Bruce grinned, "Just you lot—huh?"

Before he finished speaking, the communicator on his wrist suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. A cold mechanical voice echoed directly in both their minds:

【64】 Before he finished speaking, the communication device on his wrist suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. A cold mechanical voice rang out directly in both their minds:

【Warning: Current area marked as S-rank high-difficulty zone. Proceed with caution】

【65】 【Warning: The current area has been marked as an S-Rank high-difficulty region. Proceed with caution.】

"S-rank difficulty?" Bruce's eyes widened, "You're joking!"

【66】 "S-Rank difficulty?" Bruce's eyes widened, "You're joking!"

"I'll say this one last time." The guard captain stepped forward slowly, his voice icy, "Surrender immediately, or bear the consequences."

【67】 "I'll say it one last time." The captain of the guard stepped forward slowly, his voice ice-cold, "Surrender immediately, or bear the consequences."

Bruce laughed in anger: "A few natives dare to threaten me?"

【68】 Bruce laughed in fury: "A few natives, and you think you can threaten me?"

"Whoosh!"

【69】 "Whoosh!"

More than a dozen figures appeared simultaneously, instantly forming an encirclement, their movements neat and uniform.

【70】 Over a dozen figures appeared simultaneously, instantly forming an encirclement, their movements neat and uniform.

"Bruce, be careful!" Linda's expression suddenly changed.

【71】 "Bruce, be careful!" Linda's expression suddenly changed.

These Uchiha clansmen all looked up at the same time, their crimson Sharingan flashing in the sunlight. Strange patterns appeared in their pupils, and a heart-palpitating power instantly enveloped the entire square.

【72】 These Uchiha clansmen all looked up at once, their crimson Sharingan flashing in the sunlight. Eerie patterns appeared in their pupils, and a heart-pounding power instantly enveloped the entire plaza.

In an instant, more than a dozen Sharingan spun simultaneously—all Mangekyō Sharingan!

【73】 In an instant, over a dozen Sharingan spun at once—all Mangekyou Sharingan!

…………

【74】 …………

In the training chamber deep within the Uchiha clan territory, Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged.

【75】 In a cultivation chamber deep within the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged.

Black seal patterns wrapped around his body, a special seal used to restrain the tailed beast's power.

【76】 Black sealing patterns wrapped around his body, a special seal used to restrain the power of a Tailed Beast.

"Hah"

【77】 "Hah"

Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning, reflecting the black chakra flowing within the seal, "This tailless tailed beast is indeed interesting."

【78】 Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning, reflecting the black chakra flowing within the seal, "This Tailless Tailed Beast is indeed interesting."

He pressed his palm lightly against the ground, and a faint black ripple spread out.

【79】 He pressed his palm lightly against the ground, and a faint black ripple spread out.

This power was completely different from traditional chakra, more like a special energy condensed from the darkness and negative emotions deep within the human heart.

【80】 This power was entirely different from traditional chakra, more like a special energy condensed from the darkness and negative emotions deep within humanity.

Combining the characteristics of the tailless tailed beast with ancient martial arts manuals for cultivating the spirit, he found a way to quickly awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

【81】 Combining the characteristics of the Tailless Tailed Beast with an ancient martial arts secret manual for cultivating the spirit, he found a method to quickly awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Through this method, clansmen could elevate their Sharingan to the Mangekyō level without experiencing intense emotional stimulation.

【82】 Through this method, clansmen could bypass intense emotional stimulation and directly elevate their Sharingan to the Mangekyou level.

"Unfortunately, there is still a flaw." Fugaku pressed his temple, "The Mangekyō Sharingan awakened this way cannot spontaneously birth its own dōjutsu; it is ultimately an incomplete power."

【83】 "Pity it still has a flaw." Fugaku pressed his temples, "The Mangekyou Sharingan awakened this way cannot spontaneously birth a dojutsu; it is ultimately an incomplete power."

After all, it is merely awakened through external force, possessing only the form of the Mangekyō but lacking the true essence of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

【84】 After all, it was merely awakened through external force—possessing only the form of the Mangekyou, but lacking the true essence of a genuine Mangekyou Sharingan.

Even so, this is still a major breakthrough, allowing ordinary clansmen without talent to obtain powerful strength.

【85】 But even so, this was a major breakthrough, allowing some ordinary clansmen without talent to gain great power.

He opened the scroll and carefully studied the cultivation method written on it: "If we can go a step further, perhaps we can solve the flaw of being unable to birth dōjutsu."

【86】 He unrolled a scroll, carefully studying the cultivation method on it: "If we can go further, perhaps we can solve the defect of being unable to birth a dojutsu."

Just as he was immersed in his research, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

【87】 Just as he was immersed in his research, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind:

【Emergency Mission Issued】

【88】 【Emergency Mission Release】

Fugaku's movements froze instantly. He was too familiar with this voice; it was the notification sound from the God Realm space.

【89】 Fugaku's movements froze instantly. He knew this voice all too well—it was the notification tone from the Main God Space.

But the problem was, he was currently in the Ninja World.

【90】 But the problem was, he was currently in the Ninja World.

According to his understanding, missions from the God Realm space would only be issued within the Reincarnation Space. This was the first time he had received a mission from the God Realm while in the Ninja World.

【91】 According to his understanding, missions from the Main God Space were only released within the Reincarnation Space. This was the first time he had received a mission from the Main God while in the Ninja World.

Even more concerning was that this was actually an emergency mission.

【92】 Even more concerning was that it was actually an emergency mission.

Since becoming a Reincarnator, he had never encountered such a situation.

【93】 Since becoming a Reincarnator, he had never encountered such a situation.

The next second, a semi-transparent virtual screen slowly unfolded before his eyes:

【94】 The next second, a translucent virtual screen slowly unfolded before his eyes:

【Mission Name: World Invader】

【95】 【Quest Name: World Invaders】

【Mission Description: Two unknown powerful entities have invaded the Wave Country port area.】

【96】 【Mission Description: Two unknown powerful existences have invaded the port area of the Land of Waves.】

【Mission Objective: Eliminate the two invaders】

【Time Limit: 1 hour】

【Note: This is a defensive mission; failure will result in severe consequences.】

【100】 【Note: This is a defensive mission; failure will lead to severe consequences.】

"Invaders?" Fugaku frowned.

【101】 "Invaders?" Fugaku furrowed his brow.

At this moment, a clansman knocked on the door of the secret chamber: "Clan Leader, news from the port: two unidentified people have appeared!"

【102】 At this moment, a clansman knocked on the door of the secret chamber: "Clan Leader, news from the port—two people of unknown identity have appeared!"

"I know."

【103】 "I know."

Fugaku stood up, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Tell the patrol team not to act rashly; I'm heading there now."

【104】 Fugaku stood up, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Tell the Patrol Squad not to act rashly; I'm heading over now."
