As for the two S-rank Ninjutsu that Uchiha Ling wants to develop, Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken and Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle, their development is currently slow.
Especially the Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle, this Ninjutsu is still in the process of adjusting its form and structure; it is extremely difficult to attach the structure of the Rasen Compressing Storm Gun to the outside of the compressed Rasengan.
However, the Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken has made rapid progress, and Wind Release Chakra can now be stably injected into the compressed Rasengan.
It still requires subtle structural adjustments to make the Ninjutsu more stable, but even so, this semi-finished Jutsu has reached the power level of Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Moreover, Uchiha Ling's Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken can be thrown even without infusing Sage Art Chakra, though its flight distance is not far enough, and controlling its trajectory is still very difficult.
Time passed quickly; tomorrow is June 5th, and the day after tomorrow is Uchiha Ling's birthday, but Uchiha Ling has forgotten her own birthday.
Within the Uchiha Clan Land, Uchiha Shisui, who has now joined the Uchiha Security Force, is reporting to Uchiha Fugaku, the Security Force Captain.
"Fugaku Clan Leader, the Security Force has now cut half of its personnel and is ready to recruit Security Force members from Konoha at any time."
Because of Uchiha Ling's instructions, Uchiha Shisui personally handled the Security Force's reduction and recruitment of new members, fearing that someone would feign compliance.
In reality, some Hawk Faction Uchiha did not obey orders, but facing Uchiha Shisui, who had already awakened his Revolving Sharingan with three tomoe, all but the Jonin-level members were easily suppressed by him.
The speed of the current reduction is incredibly fast, and it also has the will of Uchiha Chiri and the elders of the Rescue Faction, so even the most extreme Uchiha Setsuna dared not cause trouble.
"That's good. I hope the path you have chosen is the right one. Although I am not capable of saving the Uchiha, I can still maintain the Uchiha's stability."
Uchiha Fugaku knew that he was just a puppet now; the elders of the three factions barely paid him any mind, but he still had control over the ordinary Uchiha of the middle and lower ranks.
"Fugaku Clan Leader, Uchiha Ling is different; she will bring light to the Uchiha. Both I and Granny Zhili firmly believe this. Anyone who dares to obstruct Uchiha Ling's plan, even an Uchiha elder, I will eliminate without mercy."
Uchiha Shisui, kneeling on one knee, raised his head, and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes glowed with a blood-red light; the firmness and determination in his gaze made even Uchiha Fugaku feel it was piercing.
"Sigh, alright. I will request Hokage-sama to establish a task squad for the dismissed Uchiha and then invite various clans to join the Security Force."
Uchiha Fugaku originally wanted to seize the position of Hokage by relying on his control over the Security Force and by earning military merits in the upcoming war, but now it seems he no longer has a chance.
As the Security Force Captain, dismissing half of the Uchiha also meant that his power would be diluted, but he was powerless to resist. Moreover, this method seemed to make it easier for the Uchiha to integrate into the Village, so his indecisiveness resurfaced.
"Understood. I will explain this matter to Uchiha Ling and Granny Zhili. I'll take my leave." Uchiha Shisui stood up, a ripple of emotion flashing in his eyes, but he did not leave immediately.
"Is there anything else, Shisui?" Uchiha Fugaku put down the Security Force files he needed to process and looked at the somewhat hesitant Uchiha Shisui, a little curious.
"Um, Fugaku-sama, the day after tomorrow is Uchiha Ling's birthday. Do you know what kind of gift would be best?" Uchiha Shisui's face flushed. He didn't know what gift to give the woman he loved.
"Birthday? When Mikoto had her birthday, I think I gave her flowers. But it's better if you give a handmade gift; that way, it can also show your sincerity."
Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto's marriage was merely a political one; he was seven or eight years older than Mikoto, although they are now very much in love.
"Ah? Handmade? But... I don't know how?" Uchiha Shisui scratched the back of his head, feeling that choosing a gift was harder than fighting a Jonin.
"Heh heh, you can think about what Uchiha Ling usually likes, and then make it yourself. Oh, and take Itachi with you the day after tomorrow."
Uchiha Itachi has had a good impression of his clan sister ever since Uchiha Ling gave him dango to eat last time, and Uchiha Fugaku also wanted his eldest son to build a good relationship with Uchiha Ling.
"Alright, then I'll be going now, Fugaku Clan Leader." Uchiha Shisui, distracted, returned to his home. He recalled his past with Uchiha Ling.
He seemed to find that Uchiha Ling didn't have any particular likes; she was either interested in various Ninjutsu, Forbidden Technique, or food.
In terms of Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique, he didn't have any self-created Ninjutsu, and some family heirloom Ninjutsu had already been given to Uchiha Ling. As for food, he was even worse at it.
"How about making a big cake? Uchiha Ling should like it, right?" Uchiha Shisui thought that Uchiha Ling seemed to like fruit desserts, so he immediately went to Konoha's best cake shop, ready to learn how to make a cake from the owner.
He believed that as long as he activated his Revolving Sharingan with three tomoe and watched the owner do it a few times, there shouldn't be any problem.
The Sannin, who were rarely together, were also gathered at a pub, mainly because Tsunade had lost all her money again, while Jiraiya had just received his manuscript fees, and Orochimaru had completed a phase of his research.
"Damn it, it's all Sarutobi's fault! Since Uchiha Ling joined Anbu, I've rarely won any money."
Tsunade slammed her empty sake cup onto the table, making Jiraiya, whose face was flushed and who was staring at the abyss of her chest, suddenly sober up.
"Heh, you can only break even when gambling with Uchiha Ling; you're bound to lose when gambling with anyone else. You still want to win money?"
Jiraiya looked disdainfully at Tsunade, who had borrowed gambling funds from him. Believing a gambling addict would win was even more impossible than him believing Orochimaru was a woman.
"What do you mean? This old hag has won before, alright!" Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya's collar and lifted him, glaring at the drunken Jiraiya.
"Heh heh, the day after tomorrow is Uchiha Ling's birthday, right? Have you prepared any gifts?"
Orochimaru was in a good mood because he had completed his theoretical research on the Reanimation Jutsu. He had been observing Uchiha Ling with his communication snake and knew that Uchiha Ling seemed to have forgotten her own birthday.
He knew that Uchiha Ling used dozens of Shadow Clone every day to practice several Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. For over a month, he had visibly observed Uchiha Ling getting stronger.
"Birthday? I almost forgot. I'll have Shizune prepare something." Tsunade didn't care much about birthdays; she didn't even care about her own. She only cared about Uchiha Ling's birthday because she could gamble with her on equal footing then.
"Birthday gift? What gift could be better than a signed copy of 'The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja,' the Ninja World's best-selling author's masterpiece, signed by me, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya was extremely confident; his manuscript fees made it impossible for him to be modest. He had found the secret to wealth: just add some lewd plotlines, and it would sell very well.
