Chapter 113 - Chapter 96: Kushina

Afterward, Uchiha Masato temporarily put aside patrols and started watching from the side.

Aside from Wind Escape, even Fire Release was tried. Originally, spider silk was very afraid of high temperatures, but after special crafting, its heat-resistant properties greatly improved, and even an Explosive Tag couldn't do anything to the combat suit.

The fireball that lasted four or five seconds still couldn't scorch this ninja battle suit.

Additionally, it has a good energy absorption effect; regular heavy hits on the ninja suit can reduce the force by sixty percent.

"Next month's combat suit production is seventeen sets. Leave two sets for me, and prioritize the rest for clan members performing dangerous tasks."

Uchiha Yoichi spoke up, "After meeting the clan members' needs, then consider external matters; however, even if production expands, it'll take more than a year."

Uchiha Tokugawa added, "Even if production goes on day and night without stopping, it would take roughly eighteen months for every clan member to have one."

Uchiha Kenji said, "Yoichi, this type of combat suit is considered a treasure, as for the clan leader over there..."

"I know, good things are, of course, prioritized for one's own people, those who are hostile towards me definitely won't get it."

Uchiha Yoichi said, it's no big deal with some money, but ninja battle suits are different; if Tsunade's brother had worn this, even stepping on an Explosive Tag trap would, at most, result in severe injury.

Such a lifesaver at critical times, how could it be given away easily?

"Lord Tokugawa, the most crucial craftsmanship machine, even if it explodes, must not be stolen by others."

"Rest assured, Lord Yoichi. If the machine leaves the Fuinjutsu range, it'll explode, no one can steal it."

Uchiha Tokugawa assured that the Fuinjutsu there was set up by Uzumaki Minami, with the sealing center being many Explosive Tags, equivalent to a mechanized bomb.

The distribution rights for the ninja battle suits were completely handed over to Uchiha Yoichi, with Uchiha Kenji offering full support to Uchiha Yoichi's intent to become the next clan leader, only providing assistance and reminders without interfering with Uchiha Yoichi's choices.

Currently, clan members of the hardliner faction have strong confidence in Uchiha Yoichi, those similar in age or slightly older than him greet him with 'Lord Yoichi' upon seeing him.

After all, Uchiha Yoichi has earned the name 'Konoha Lightning Fang' outside and has also established a Uchiha welfare system within the clan.

Having accomplished so much, coupled with Uchiha Kenji voluntarily relinquishing power, and the respect from Uchiha Masato and Uchiha Yokokawa, the two squad leaders of the Security Team, Uchiha Yoichi has become the leader of the hardliners.

In the end, the combat suits manufactured next month will have two pieces reserved for Uchiha Yoichi's personal use, with ten pieces distributed to clan members of the Security Team like Uchiha Masato, and the remaining five pieces given to hardliner clan members who have already gone to war.

After discussing this issue, Uchiha Yoichi left.

With no current mission and needing to stay on standby in the village, Yuhi Kurenai and her group of three are trained by a Shadow Clone, leaving Uchiha Yoichi's body to only practice at the nearby training ground.

His mastery of swordsmanship has been honed considerably within this year's time, having crossed swords with Hatake Sakumo a few times, focusing purely on swordsmanship without considering overall strength.

Though Uchiha Yoichi was at a disadvantage, his occasional counter-attacks also made Hatake Sakumo take the matches seriously.

According to Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Yoichi's swordsmanship lacks specific movements but can be described in two words: fast and fierce!

The speed of the sword swings is like lightning, following up with attacks aimed at vital points, and with his body being as tough as steel, he disregards certain non-lethal injuries.

That's why Hatake Sakumo defined him with the word 'fierce'.

No other swordsmanship masters have the same kind of sturdy body as Uchiha Yoichi, nor do any ninja with such a sturdy body practice swordsmanship like him.

If Uchiha Yoichi goes all out, even Hatake Sakumo would find it difficult to defeat him, potentially gaining only a slight advantage in the end, but it wouldn't be easy for him.

This is the assessment without revealing that Uchiha Yoichi knows the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. If Hatake Sakumo knew he mastered this Forbidden Technique, he might change his comment.

Next, Uchiha Yoichi plans to thoroughly practice the Reanimation Jutsu.

This jutsu is incredibly twisted, capable of summoning deceased individuals from the Netherworld and controlling them.

Moreover, it provides infinite chakra, and even though Uchiha Yoichi doesn't understand where a Reanimation Body's chakra comes from, if it's infinite chakra, wouldn't it be akin to a perpetual motion machine?

The main thing is that the Reanimation Body requires no sleep or rest and aside from Sealing Techniques and Truth-Seeking Orbs, there's no method that can harm Reanimation Bodies.

Currently, Uchiha Yoichi's business is increasingly extensive, and ninja battle suit research necessitates numerous guards for surveillance; furthermore, with the village facing war, the Uchiha clan must contribute, making it impractical to have too many clan members over watching business affairs.

If Reanimation Bodies could be employed as guards for his business dealings, security would be greatly enhanced.

Additionally, all the Reanimation Bodies do not require Uchiha Yoichi himself for control, by erasing the Reanimation Body's consciousness, control can be delegated to Tokugawa, Hayato, and Toshiki among clan members.

This way, the strength of the Reanimation Bodies may weaken somewhat, but it spares Uchiha Yoichi the hassle.

"Hmm?"

As Uchiha Yoichi was returning home, a sudden encounter with two people interrupted his train of thought.
