Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 91 The Uchiha clan gathers, everyone sees me off, and they await my return!

"Chief Hiashi, what's wrong?" Asuma was completely taken aback when he heard this.

He felt like a clown.

Hiashi Hyuga offered no explanation, simply standing there calmly.

No one understood the power of the Divine Moon better than him.

He knew in his heart that the abilities and courage displayed by the Uchiha boy before him meant that trusting him was the right thing to do.

Shingetsu wasn't surprised by Hiashi Hyuga's response. He turned to Asuma, who looked incredulous, and crossed his arms: "So, Asuma? Even the Hiashi clan leader has no objections, what else do you have to say?"

"Hmph!" Asuma opened his mouth, looked at Hiashi's calm expression, then at Shingetsu's seemingly smiling face, and at the gazes cast by the Third Hokage and the others. In the end, he could only snort in frustration and turn his head away, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The Third Hokage watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

"This Uchiha Shingetsu is completely different from other Uchiha!" He tapped his pipe and finally made the decision: "In that case, Uchiha Shingetsu will be the captain of the temporary team for this border support operation. Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai, the four of you will follow Shingetsu's orders. Hiashi and Hizashi, you are experienced, so please assist Shingetsu as much as possible."

He dared not let Shingetsu truly take command of Hyuga Hiashi.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, but their tones and expressions varied. Kakashi remained as lazy as ever, but his Sharingan's movement gave him a somewhat profound look. Guy enthusiastically gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem. Kurenai glanced at Shingetsu with some concern, while Asuma looked unconvinced.

Hiashi Hyuga calmly accepted the order, while Hizashi Hyuga, though still having doubts, nodded in agreement with his brother.

Shingetsu's Sharingan swept over the crowd, finally settling on the Third Hokage. He said confidently, "Third Hokage, rest assured, we will definitely complete our mission, defeat Kumogakure, and restore Konoha's glory!"

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing Kamizuki's words, the Third Hokage quickly took a deep drag on his pipe, his gaze falling on Kamizuki, his tone carrying a warning: "Your mission is not to launch a preemptive attack and repel Kumogakure, but to go to the front lines to stabilize the defenses, demonstrating Konoha's firm stance and sufficient strength. You must make Kumogakure back down, creating conditions and space for subsequent diplomatic negotiations. Ultimately, resolving the issue peacefully is the fundamental solution."

"This is the same old rhetoric again. Only a fool would believe it!" Shingetsu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was unconvinced by this talk of trying to make peace through negotiation, but he still pretended to listen attentively and nodded in response, "I understand, Third Hokage. We will focus on deterrence and strengthen our defenses."

"Kamizuki!" Fugaku, standing beside him, had a conflicted expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Only when everyone was about to leave and go back to prepare their belongings did he signal Shenyue to stay a little longer.

"Kamizuki!" Fugaku lowered his voice, his brow furrowed. "This time, we're facing the Fourth Raikage, a powerful figure renowned for his berserk strength and lightning speed. He's far beyond the reach of ordinary Jonin, and might even be more dangerous than anyone you've ever faced before. I'm worried…!"

He paused, as if making a great decision: "If you don't want to go, I can find a way to have someone else from the clan go in your place, or even go myself!"

Seeing the genuine worry in Fugaku's eyes, Shingetsu knew that he was speaking from the heart.

A warmth touched his heart, but he immediately shook his head. His Sharingan eyes showed no fear, only a fierce fighting spirit: "Clan leader, don't worry. Bearing the name of the Uchiha, I fear no challenge. This trip to the border is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Uchiha. Rest assured, I know my limits."

Seeing the determination in Shingetsu's eyes, Fugaku knew his mind was made up. He could only pat him on the shoulder, his thousand words ultimately reduced to a sigh and a word of advice: "Be careful. The future of the family still depends on you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely!" Shen Yue nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed to prepare for their departure the next day.

Shenyue returned to his residence, carefully checked and prepared his ninja tool bag, counting out the kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags one by one, and then carefully wiped his ninja sword.

As night deepened, he lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

Instead of worrying about the future.

Right now, you might as well get a good night's sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

The morning light was faint, and the thin mist had not yet dissipated.

Shen Yue opened the door, took a deep breath of the crisp morning air, and prepared to head to the village entrance to gather.

However, he had only taken a few steps and entered the main road of the Uchiha clan's territory when he was stunned.

On both sides of the road, there were many familiar figures.

Clan leader Fugaku, Shisui with his Body Flicker, Itachi with a complex expression, Inahisa, Yakumi, Yashiro, Tetsukiki, Aomizu, Izumi, young Sasuke, and many other elders and peers from the clan, even some young children were with the adults.

They were still shrouded in the lingering morning mist, and under the rising sun, they seemed to be gilded with a layer of broken gold.

"What's going on here?" Shen Yue stopped in her tracks, looking at the scene before her with some surprise.

What's going on here?

"Everyone knows you're going on a mission, so they all want to see you off!" Fugaku said, a touch of emotion in his heart.

Unbeknownst to her, Shenyue had truly gained the recognition of everyone in the clan.

Even he, the clan chief, didn't receive this treatment.

"So, everyone got up early on purpose to see me off." Shen Yue's heart was also touched.

"Brother Shenyue, you must come back safely. I'm still waiting for you to teach me Fire Release!" Uchiha Izumi was the first to speak, her voice clear and crisp.

"Captain Shingetsu, let those guys from Kumogakure see how powerful the Uchiha are!" Inahashi waved his fist.

"Be careful and don't be reckless," Yashiro solemnly advised.

"Kamizuki-kun, the family's expectations are with you." Shisui said with a gentle yet firm smile.

Fugaku didn't speak, but patted Shingetsu's shoulder heavily, everything was understood without words.

Qing Shui and Tie Shu pushed their way to the front, their faces filled with urgency: "Captain! Take us with you! We can fight too!"

Shen Yue looked at her two subordinates who had followed her from the beginning, feeling a pang of emotion, but firmly shook her head: "You two stay in the village, cultivate diligently, and protect the clan's territory. I'm enough to handle the front lines. Become stronger, and I'll return to see your progress."

"Let's protect what we cherish together!"

Although Qing Shui and Tie Shu were filled with reluctance, seeing Shen Yue's unwavering gaze, they finally nodded vigorously: "Yes! Captain! We will definitely train hard and strive to catch up with you!"

"Everyone, wait for my return!" Shen Yue's mind was churning with thoughts, and she had a thousand words to say, but at this moment she felt that her vocabulary was not enough. In the end, she could only utter these six words.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, filled with a mixture of eagerness, worry, and pride, Shenyue bid farewell to them, slowly turned around, and walked towards the village entrance.

He could clearly feel the gazes following him from behind, carrying heavy expectations.

He didn't turn back, but made a vow in his heart once again: he must become stronger, strong enough to reverse the seemingly destined tragic fate of the Uchiha clan and lead them towards true light.
