The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 272 Gather, heroes of Konoha!

After hearing that the experiment was not mandatory but rather recruited volunteers, the crowd calmed down a little.

However, their values, ingrained over the years, still make them very resistant to things like "human experimentation."

"Lord Mizuki, those volunteers are also ninjas from the village. If they fail and die, their families and friends will suffer an unbearable blow!"

"Yes, we should be more careful about this."

Shuimu listened attentively to their opinions, pondered for a moment, and then sighed, "You all speak with such maturity and wisdom!"

"I didn't consider this aspect carefully enough."

"Well then, Nara-suke, could you please take a count of who in the village is now all alone?"

"It's the kind of ninja who has lost both parents, all relatives, and few friends."

"Let's select our first batch of test subjects—no, I mean trial heroes—from among them!"

After saying that, he turned to the other Jonin and said, "These ninjas are the group that suffered the most from the war. They must hate the war the most and hate Uchiha An the most."

"If we just tell them that our Wood Release: Sacred Body Hero Trial" was specifically organized to defeat Uchiha An, they'll probably all be willing to participate."

"Furthermore, we need to explain to them that their participation in this trial is an embodiment of the Will of Fire and a symbol of the spirit of Konoha."

"We must let them know that as long as they sign up, they are the brave ones in the village, the heroes of the village."

"Whether they succeed or fail, the village will treat them as heroes."

"Regardless of their current status, once they successfully pass the trial, they will immediately be promoted to Jonin and enjoy Jonin benefits."

"Even if they fail, they will be enshrined on the memorial tablet and permanently commemorated by the village."

Finally, Mizuki waved his hand and promised, "I promise here that as long as the technology is successfully researched, I will transplant Wood Release into the village and popularize it, so that all members of the ninja clan can become Wood Release ninjas."

This last sentence finally convinced the somewhat hesitant ninja clan to make up their minds and agree to the plan.

After all, the power of Wood Release is something all ninjas covet!

Seeing that all the ninja clans had agreed, Mizuki finally smiled with satisfaction and added, "The reconstruction resources from the nobles will arrive soon. At that time, the village will distribute the resources according to their contributions."

"The number and quality of the trial warriors will also be linked to the contribution of the ninja clan, and the weight will be set higher."

""

"What?!" The expressions of all the ninjas changed immediately.

They originally planned to encourage those commoner ninjas to practice the "Will of Fire" and sign up for this so-called "Wood Release: Sacred Body Hero Trial," so that their own clan could enjoy the fruits of their labor.

But now that Mizuki has done this, if they don't send anyone to participate in the trial, won't all these reconstruction resources end up in the hands of those civilian ninjas?

How can this be?

The crowd immediately erupted in protest, vehemently opposing it.

Mizuki patiently waited for them to finish arguing before speaking seriously: "The greatest danger to Konoha right now is Uchiha An. Any method that helps defeat him will be given a high contribution rating."

"Unless you have another way to deal with Uchiha An, you must obtain a high contribution level in the Wood Release: Sacred Body Hero Trial. There's no room for negotiation on that."

"However, do you remember my suggestion from yesterday?"

"Have you found any methods in your family records that could help you defeat powerful enemies?"

"If so, let's bring it up for discussion."

"Whether or not it is ultimately adopted, as long as it is feasible, one can receive a corresponding contribution."

The group exchanged glances and said, "We haven't had enough time and there's too much data. We haven't discovered anything yet."

"Please rest assured, Lord Mizuki, we will carefully search for information after we return, and we will definitely share any solutions we find."

Only the main elder of the Hyuga clan hesitated before saying, "Well—actually, everyone has seen the power of the Tenseigan; it's no less powerful than the Rinnegan."

"If the village continues to support us in synthesizing more Tenseigan, then we might be able to defeat Uchiha Anah in the future."

""

Before he finished speaking, everyone's surprised gaze fell on him.

The Hyuga clan's recent branch family rebellion seems to be related to this synthesized "Tenseigan," which also led to the demise of the Third Hokage.

It's only been a few months, and they're already thinking about splitting up the family again?

On that day, in front of everyone in the village, the Hyuga main family assured the third generation that they would never again force the branch family to "sacrifice" their eyes.

Having witnessed the power of the Tenseigan, how could the Hyuga main family members be content to keep their eyes as just Byakugan?

Now that he sees that the current head of the family, Mizuki, dares to conduct "human experiments," he might be able to overturn the promises of the previous three generations and support the main family in continuing to synthesize the "Tenseigan"!

So he tentatively opened his mouth, but when he was stared at by the strange looks from everyone, the elder of the Zong family immediately shrank back and chuckled dryly with his head down.

"Hehe, I was just saying, just saying—"

"No, this method is excellent!" Mizuki suddenly exclaimed in praise, "As I just said, the greatest danger facing the village right now is Uchiha An."

"Any method that helps defeat him is a good method!"

"Even if there are some side effects, they are all acceptable."

"The village supports the Hyuga clan in continuing to synthesize the Tenseigan!"

"However, Elder Hyuga, we must be upfront about this: you absolutely cannot use the Caged Bird Seal to continue forcing those branch families to offer sacrifices this time," he said, rolling his eyes.

"If you cause internal strife again, there aren't many people in your main family who can be killed."

Upon hearing Shui Mu's words, the elder of the clan immediately became excited and hurriedly patted his chest to express his support.

"Don't worry, Master Shuimu, we will definitely not resort to coercion this time."

"We will hold meetings with those who have split up, to educate them on the Will of Fire, ensuring they deeply understand and learn it, and put it into practice."

"I assure you, all the members of the branch family participated in the synthesis of the Tenseigan voluntarily."

"Hmm, that puts my mind at ease." Mizuki nodded in satisfaction and adjourned the meeting.

After everyone left, Mizuki went to another room and met Uchiha An who was waiting there.

"Lord An, the plan is going smoothly."

"In just a few days at most, you will be able to personally conduct the 'Trials of the Heroes' for those heroes of Konoha."
