Naruto’s Strongest Force [translation]

Konoha School has started for the year, drawing special attention due to the enrollment of heirs from major ninja clans, a trend notable for this semester.

The most famous among them are Naruto and Sasuke, not to mention that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki but the latter is a member of the Uchiha clan, now closely associated with the Village.

Adding to the importance, Sasuke's enrollment is personally overseen by Uchiha Deputy Clan Natsuki, sparking curiosity about the underlying motives.

Does it symbolize friendship from the Uchiha clan? Although Neji is a level older, he maintains a close friendship with Sasuke and Naruto.

Naruto's connection with Natsuki has had a positive impact, providing him with a caring elder figure.

With Sasuke and Neji as his friends, Naruto has less tendency to engage in mischievous behavior. He no longer deliberately plays pranks to annoy others.

Entering the ninja school, whether commoners or nobles, everyone is aware of the identities of Sasuke and Neji.

Naruto benefits from the protection of his friends from two major families, preventing anyone from causing trouble. In this way, Naruto's situation is better compared to the original world.

...

After a lengthy journey, the Kumogakure finally arrived at Konoha Village.

Following extensive consultations and negotiations, all the terms were officially finalized, leading to the signing of the peace agreement.

In celebration of this significant event, Konoha Village organized a large-scale peace celebration.

Despite the villagers of Konoha having mixed feelings towards Kumogakure, their collective disdain for war brought many of them to join the celebration.

Several retail streets in Konoha became even more bustling and overcrowded with the festivities.

Capitalizing on the celebration's distraction, Kumogakure's mission secretly moved around to gather information.

To their surprise, they discovered a noteworthy fact – the current Uchiha members had withdrawn into their clan, with security patrols now entirely manned by members of the Hyuga clan.

Conversely, the Hyuga family's defenses had noticeably loosened.

After compiling this information, Yugito couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

He took out a patrol map of the Hyuga family and examined it carefully, an item Kumogakure had paid a substantial amount to obtain.

"Shinichi, have you thought about it? Maybe it would be better if someone else takes on this task," Yukito inquired with a tinge of regret.

"Sir, all three of my brothers died in the war. Now, I only have one thought left – revenge. Whether we succeed or fail, we all reap the benefits," Nagasaki Shinichi responded, his eyes empty and his demeanor radiating a sense of resignation.

"Yugito, why don't you go out and have some fun? The celebration is particularly lively. Yo, yo, you guy, stupid guy," Killer B inserted with a casual tone as he walked in.

As the considered leader of the entire mission, he had traveled to Konoha a few times, accompanied by several advisors and elders sent by the village.

Addressing him, Yugito said, "Killer B, stop playing around and prepare yourself. Your strength may be needed tomorrow."

He stopped his laughter and clenched his fists vigorously.

...

The excitement in Konoha had no effect on Natsuki, as he had no interest in such festivities. After a period of hard work, Uchiha's new clan land was finally built.

The moment the clan land was completed, a notification sounded:

[Ding... The first stage of development tasks, leaving Konoha, and independent self-improvement is completed.]

The host acquires knowledge related to Konoha-style sealing techniques.

A flood of knowledge about sealing rushed into his mind, addressing an urgent need.

Alongside the well-known sealing techniques of the Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, another particularly crucial technique emerged—the defensive detection barrier technique, also utilizing sealing arts.

This technique was precisely what Uchiha needed urgently, lacking the ability to detect barrier techniques.

By marking various points with barrier spells and activating them with chakra, the defensive detection barrier technique allowed for an immediate response when outsiders entered the range.

With this technique, Uchiha could now easily identify and respond to intruders, eliminating the vulnerability of enemies sneaking into their large areas.

Previously, the Third Hokage had monitored the Uchiha clan openly by building a high-rise structure nearby.

After moving out and with no high-rise buildings, ANBU was deployed for secret monitoring.

Natsuki had long been displeased with this situation, and now, with the completion of the clan land, he aimed to address it.

He quickly identified three suitable individuals for implementing the defensive detection barrier technique: Uchiha Hitoki, Uchiha Yori, and Uchiha Daichi.

These individuals possessed sealing skills among their talents.

Hitoki, his former teammate, while not highly combat-effective, is remarkably capable.

His older brother, Yaoya, known for causing trouble, had already followed Itachi and left.

The other two, Yori and Daichi, are his new teammates, and they have been getting along well recently.

Due to Itachi taking away more than half of the people, Natsuki reorganized many clan members into teams, using this as an excuse to advise choosing safer tasks to prevent potential conflicts and intentional endangerment by the third Hokage.

A notification sounds:

[Ding... For a long-term mission, how can one force only have the strong ones of its own clan?]

[Recruiting non-Uchiha elites.]

[Acquire the target specialty after success.]

The system finally unveils a new function. He contemplates the meaning of the target's specialty and decides to experiment later.

For non-Uchiha, the ideal place to recruit is Konoha, focusing on the tower near the water.

While contemplating, Hitoki, Yori and Daichi.

Hitoki, with a baby face and a thin body, possesses a flexible mind and precise ninjutsu.

Similar to Izumi, Yori is a rare medical ninja among Uchiha, characterized by long, silky hair and a tall figure, and is very perceptive.

Daichi is a standard hexagonal warrior, with essentially no shortcomings and excels in both ninjutsu and physical skills.

"Captain!"

"Natsuki-senpai!"

"Deputy Chief!"

The names of the three individuals differ due to Natsuki quickly taking the position of deputy clan leader, and many people have yet to get used to it.

He nodded, "I called you here today because I have something for you."

"Captain, please give me your orders," spoke Uchiha Hitoki, the most familiar with Natsuki.

"In the past, when our clan was still in Konoha Village, they unscrupulously built high towers around us to monitor us."

"We, as a whole Uchiha, had no privacy at all. Even now, having left the old location and moved to a new place, there are still many ANBU surveilling us."

"Next, we Uchiha will build a defensive detection barrier, and you are the people I choose."

Several Uchiha exchanged glances. Not everyone can use the defensive detection barrier technique.

The defensive detection barrier technique requires two components: deployment and usage.

For deployment, three people will suffice. However, to arrange it, the barrier technique is needed, and this technique is a secret of Konoha Village that Uchiha does not possess.

But since the deputy chief summoned the three of them, there must be a solution to the problem.

None of them spoke, awaiting Natsuki's guidance.

He was satisfied to see that the three of them remained relatively calm.

He drew on his left arm with his hand, creating lines of sealing techniques.

"This is a defensive detection barrier technique!?"

The three of them were a little surprised, not expecting him to be knowledgeable about sealing techniques.

He smiled and did not disclose the origin of this technique. Instead, he began teaching the three how to use chakra and create the techniques.

Grateful for his trust yet nervous about performing well, they soon realized an unexpected familiarity with the sealing technique.

They easily grasped Natsuki's explanations, and Daichi even contributed some of his own ideas.

The trio listened with great interest to the knowledge of sealing techniques, feeling as though they were meant to understand this technique.

Natsuki displayed wisdom and insight, leaving them with this impression.

Observing their enthusiasm, he spent a few hours thoroughly teaching the defensive detection barrier technique.

"Have you guys learned the lesson?"

Upon his inquiry, Hitoki instinctively tested the barrier technique in his hand, and soon, the light of the barrier technique illuminated his grasp.

Yori and Daichi tested the technique in their hands, and soon the light of the barrier spell illuminated for them as well.

Natsuki nodded with satisfaction, confirming that several people had the talent to quickly grasp the knowledge and learn the technique.

The group felt excited about acquiring a new skill in just one night, and the enchantment spells in their hands transformed into various shapes, indicating their initial proficiency.

"How many more days will it take to set up the barrier?"

After a brief discussion, Hitoki replied, "Captain, it will take about seven days to familiarize ourselves with the technique, and we'll also need some materials."

"However, the setup time will take about two weeks."

"Okay, tomorrow Yori goes to report to Fugaku, Daichi goes to communicate with the patrol team, and Hitoki goes to prepare the materials."

"As soon as the preparations are completed, we will start decorating directly. I want to see the barrier in three weeks."

"yes!"

"Tonight, I will first remove all the ANBU's surveillance."

He moved his hands and feet, finally freeing himself from the constant watchful eyes of the annoying flies.
