The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 24 Qiu Dao Qu Feng: The puffer ghost is still a smart guy!
After traveling day and night, Shiratori and others finally arrived at the Southeast Camp, and met the Akimichi Choza team who had just arrived in front of the camp gate.

There was no time to rest. After handing over the captured Kirigakure jonin to the interrogators, everyone was immediately called over by Akimichi Torikaze who had learned the news.

In the big tent.

Zhiwei replaced Shuitian's position as captain, and together with Ding Zuo, reported to Qufeng what happened on the way.

Bai Niao was just listening casually, his eyes stayed on Qufeng's funny fat face for a moment, and then he was attracted by the young man standing behind Qufeng.

Uchiha Shisui noticed the gaze and gave Shiratori a gentle smile.

I have to say, Shisui's smile is so contagious. Coupled with his kind personality and handsome face, it makes people subconsciously like him.

But just like his father Uchiha Kagami, they are all the outliers among the Uchiha. They have a lukewarm relationship with their clan members, but are very close to the top leaders of Konoha.

So normally, old man Setsuna would never take the initiative to talk about Shisui. Even if Shiratori asked about it, he would just say a few perfunctory words.

Not only Setsuna, other elders in the clan would often praise Shiratori and call him the hope for the family's revival, but would selectively ignore Shisui, the genius who became famous earlier.

In their opinion, Shisui could be the bond between the family and the village, but becoming the head of the family... there was not even the slightest possibility of that happening.

Shisui was also looking at Shiratori.

He had long heard that there was a genius in the clan who was comparable to or even surpassed himself. Seeing him today was truly an eye-opener.

Especially since Shiratori has three masks of the Kirigakure assassination force hanging around his waist, and according to Senior Zhiwei's narration, he has a record of killing Kirigakure ninjas head-on alone, which shows that Shiratori is indeed worthy of the name.

Those who can join the assassination team are the most elite ninjas in Kirigakure - even if they are only Chunin.

Even if Konoha's special jonin faced them head-on, it would take some effort to win.

"It's a pity... He is the successor trained by Elder Setsuna."

Shisui felt a little regretful, knowing that he and Shiratori could never be the same kind of people.

"White Bird."

Shiratori suddenly heard someone calling him, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Qiu Daoqufeng's smiling face.

"terribly sorry!"

There is nothing worse than being caught distracted during a meeting by your boss.
"Haha, it's okay. I'm a good friend of your grandfather, and I've heard him mention you many times." Qufeng looked at Bai Niao and liked him more and more, like an elder looking at a younger generation at home. "I heard Zhiwei talk about the battle process. It's very good, very good! From today on, you are a Chunin."

"Uh... Senior Qufeng, it's just a simple decision, is that ok?"

Shiratori was mentally prepared to become a Chunin, but didn't the appointment of a Chunin require the approval of the Hokage?
"It's war time now. As the supreme commander on the front line, I still have this authority. I just need to report it to Hiruzen as a formality...Shisui."

"exist."

"Notify all jonin in the camp to hold a combat meeting in ten minutes."

"Yes." Shisui walked away quickly.

With the arrival of the three elite jonin, Zhiwei, Ding Zuo and Sui Tian, ​​Qufeng finally felt a little confident. It was time to determine the next battle plan.

It’s a pity that Hyuga Takeshi, the elite jonin of the Hyuga clan, is most likely sacrificed. We must send someone to look for him immediately after the meeting... I hope his “Baigan” doesn’t fall into the hands of the enemy.

ten minutes later.

All the senior ninjas in the Southeast Camp were crowded in the big tent. Their eyes were dull and their faces were full of disbelief. They were abandoned?

"Lord Qufeng, is it true that there are no reinforcements?"

“Why? Even if we prioritize dealing with Kumogakure, we can’t just leave Kirigakure alone!”

"We only have 2,000 soldiers, and we have lost hundreds of them in the previous attacks, with countless wounded. Kirigakure has dispatched 8,000 ninjas, led by five 'Ninja Swordsmen Seven'."

"Damn it! In the eyes of the village, are we, the Southeast Camp, just insignificant victims?!"

"us……"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Seeing that the conversation among the crowd was gradually heading in a dangerous direction, Qu Feng slammed the table he had just repaired with a fierce palm and broke it again, barely suppressing the voices of the crowd.

"The situation has not yet reached its most dangerous point, so please stay calm."

Toukou signaled the ninjas standing in the front row to make way, then spread a map on the ground.

"It's true that we won't get any reinforcements, but Kirigakure... I don't know!"

Qu Feng pointed at the Wave Country that was isolated on the sea and said in a deep voice: "The Kirigakure has retreated to the Wave Country and set up camp. It seems that they will not attack again in the short term. Why?"

Everyone fell into deep thought. After a moment, Aburame Shiwei, who was standing in the first row, suddenly realized: "They are afraid of our counterattack, especially the counterattack after the reinforcements arrive! They... don't want to be the 'first'."

"That's right!"

Kirigakure’s idea is very simple, they just don’t want to be the first to stick their heads out!
Although it was besieged by the four countries, Konoha's strength was enough to dominate the ninja world. Kirigakure was the first and only enemy to reach the Fire Country's homeland, and it would most likely be given special attention by Konoha.

The commander of Kirigakure is a "smart man". He set the "containment" tone for Kirigakure's attack from the very beginning. He only needed to contain Konoha's large number of troops in the southeast direction, and leave the rest to the other three countries to fight hard. He would never be stupid enough to be the first to take action.

There are two considerations for withdrawing from the Fire Country and stationing in the Wave Country:

First, when the reinforcements from Konoha arrive, they will definitely counterattack the Kirigakure troops that have landed. The Kirigakure commander does not think that he can withstand the opponent's anger on Konoha's home ground.

Second, the Land of Waves is an island country, surrounded by endless ocean. Compared with the forests of the Land of Fire, the ocean is undoubtedly more suitable for the performance of the Mist Ninja. Using the Land of Waves as a battlefield to "resist Konoha" is the best choice.

"hey-hey--"

Seeing the extremely incongruous smirk on the honest face of their commander, all the jonin present couldn't help but shudder.

Qufeng thought of more - things might become more interesting when Kirigakure learns that the Raikage was ambushed and the Kazekage is missing!

If the Raikage dies, Kumogakure will inevitably fall into a certain degree of chaos; if the Kazekage disappears, the internal situation of Sand Village will not be too good; plus the Iwagakure who has formed an alliance with Konoha to pit Kumogakure together...

By then, will Konoha, which has freed up its hands, concentrate its forces to give a severe blow to the first Kirigakure that comes out and jumps around?

With the "intelligence" of the Kirigakure commander, he would definitely have thought of this.

By then, don’t let Kirigakure even abandon the Land of Waves and retreat to the Land of Water overnight…

That would be interesting.

Of course, the premise of all this is that before the news that Konoha will concentrate its main forces on attacking Kumogakure reaches Kirigakure, the fact that there will be no reinforcements for the Southeast Camp must be covered up.
