Soon, the Uchiha clan followed the protector warriors from Nine Snake Island into the city of the Amazon Lily.
The Uchiha clan looked around curiously. This village was situated in a low valley at the center of the island, with various castles perched on the cliffs. The architectural style was somewhat reminiscent of some of the ancient famous houses in Konoha Village, but it appeared more refined and beautiful.
It was clear that this village revered snake totems, with snake sculptures adorning many buildings and snakes coiled around several people.
After a while, the Uchiha clan was taken to a castle on the cliff. The interior of the castle was spacious, and it didn't feel crowded even with more than 300 members of the Uchiha clan present.
"Dear guests, I apologize, but since no outsiders have ever come to Nine Snake Island, there are no hotels available. Given your relatively sensitive status, I can only temporarily arrange for you to stay here."
"Well, it's quite nice here. Thank you very much," Kai replied.
"Please refrain from wandering around the city until Lady Snake returns. None of the girls on the island have seen a man before. If you go out rashly, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"When will Lady Snake return?" Kai asked.
"According to our calculations, it should be within the next two days, but you know there are many uncertainties at sea, so I can't be entirely sure."
"Understood. I will keep my people in check."
Grandma Ze breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Kai's words, then turned and left. This young man appeared gentle, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she was facing a humanoid monster.
Soon, a variety of meals were arranged. It was easy for ninjas to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous food, and they found that everything served was safe to eat, allowing everyone to dine with confidence.
After enjoying the food and drink, those who had left Konoha overnight felt a little tired and decided to rest.
Several elders of the Uchiha clan, along with family elites and clan leaders, gathered in front of Kai.
"Kai, this is truly a great place for the development of our Uchiha clan. The Calm Belt you mentioned serves as a natural barrier to protect this island, and this city is more suitable for us ninjas than Konoha Village. Capturing this place would be immensely beneficial for our clan."
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes sparkled with interest. Although he had been suppressed by Konoha's top brass in recent years, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, he remained discerning.
Now that they had left their homeland, the most important task was to find a place to settle down.
This location was ideal. Taking control of it would greatly benefit the clan, and he couldn't help but feel tempted.
Kai nodded. "I understand your perspective, but there are ways to achieve this. If you simply confront the high-ranking officials, you will face stronger resistance than in Konoha Village."
"The outcome won't be much better than the coup in Konoha. Even if it succeeds, the island's delicate ecosystem will be destroyed, and what benefits us will ultimately turn into a disadvantage."
Uchiha Shisui suggested, "I can use the Distinguished Heavenly Gods to control their Snake Princess."
"That's a good method, but it feels like overkill. The cooldown time for Shisui's Distinguished Heavenly Gods is too long to waste on something like this. In fact, cooperation is the best option compared to occupying this place."
"We know that too, but aren't they extremely xenophobic? Would they really be willing to cooperate with us?" Uchiha Yashiro pointed out, noting that ninjas are typically entrusted by their employers to complete tasks, and cooperation isn't exclusive to ninjas.
"Just leave this matter to me; you don't have to worry about it," Kai said with a smile. After realizing that he had arrived at Nine Snake Island, he had no intention of letting the opportunity slip away.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Kai and remarked, "It seems you already have a plan."
"That's right. Let's all get some good rest and adjust to the jet lag. We'll be living in this world for a long time to come," Kai replied, stretching his arms.
Seeing Kai so relaxed, the tense nerves of the others eased slightly.
After all, launching a coup would be a life-and-death struggle for the Uchiha clan. If a coup were truly initiated, the Uchiha clan would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Now that all the clan members were safe and had arrived in a New World, the Uchiha clan was undoubtedly fortunate. As long as they developed well, one day they would return to Konoha Village and reclaim everything that belonged to them.
Meanwhile, outside the castle,
"How is the situation?" Grandma Ze asked Kikyo.
"They haven't moved much; almost all of them took a rest after eating," Kikyo reported.
Although Grandma Ze had no official authority anymore, she had once been the empress and was well-informed. Everyone still respected her.
"Continue to send people to keep a close watch on them. We mustn't let our guard down."
"Yes! But, Mother, who are they?"
Grandma Ze shook her head. "I've never heard of them. The news from Nine Snake Island is still too closed off, making it difficult to gather information from the outside."
"But these individuals are undoubtedly a terrifyingly powerful family. Without the Empress, if we come into conflict with them, Amazon Lily will definitely suffer heavy losses. So, if they don't take action, we must do our best to avoid any confrontation."
