The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 34 Before the War
The remnants of the Yunyin army finally retreated successfully.

The last reserve force stationed in the Hidden Cloud Village arrived in time and barely stopped Konoha's advance.

However, it was not them but the Iwagakure Village that forced Konoha to decisively withdraw its troops and give up the pursuit.

On the second day after the Konoha ninjas marched into the Land of Lightning, urgent news came from the direction of the Land of Rain - Iwagakure, which had chosen to remain on the sidelines since the war began, finally began to advance!

Iwagakure unilaterally tore up the secret alliance with Konoha, and in the Land of Earth, a large number of ninjas were gathering and rushing to the front line, with the target being the Land of Rain.

After discussing with everyone, Jiraiya had no choice but to issue the order to retreat. After invading the Land of Lightning, the ninjas of Konoha launched a series of retaliatory actions that were inconvenient to publicize, which could be regarded as a way to vent their anger.

Uchiha Shiratori, who was at the southeastern front, couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news:
No matter which world it is, the words written on the covenant will always smell like farts...

The atmosphere in the Southeast Camp was quite tense.

Every ninja was engaged in combat preparations. They knew that after learning that they had been severely fooled, the angry Kirigakure would launch an all-out attack.

It's not actually accurate to say it was a tease, because all of Konoha's reinforcements, traps, luring the enemy deep into its territory, etc. were all made up by Kirigakure itself.

Even Shiratori could hardly imagine the mental state of the enemy's top commander Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost at this moment...

Of course, instead of worrying about the opponent, it is better to worry about your own commander first.

According to gossip, Qiu Daoqufeng suddenly laughed for no apparent reason last night. The sound was so loud that half of the camp could hear it. Everyone was panicking privately, fearing that our commander would be driven crazy under the huge pressure...

Well, there are some people who are not panicked at all, like the uncle with thick eyebrows next to him.

"Boss White Bird, do you want to eat chicken?"

Matt Dai was holding two pheasants in his hands, and he showed his big, shiny teeth to the white birds.

Might Day had a lot of free time, at least not until he nearly built Exploding Talismans into the fortifications.

He can't do any other work.

Reconnaissance? Believe it or not, he can run to the gate of Kirigakure Village and give Kirigakure ninja a small gift but a big token of affection.

Drawing a topographic map? If you don't want to travel to the Land of Thunder for no apparent reason, I advise you to give up this idea.

Tactical drill? You can't expect someone who can just move randomly in a battle to do something so difficult.

and so……

"So uncle...you were going hunting just now?"

"Yeah, I see you haven't been eating well lately, you've been eating just Bingliang Pills every day, so I want to improve your diet."

As he spoke, Might Dai squatted down and began to process the ingredients skillfully.

"Boss Shiratori, don't look at me as a fool. I'm actually very good at cooking, especially roasting chicken! My family is poor, and in order to keep Kai from starving, I often go out hunting. Sometimes I even stray into the forbidden forest and get caught by the ANBU masters, haha..."

He has always taken good care of Akai.

And now, although he calls Shiratori the "boss", in his heart, Shiratori is also someone who needs to be taken care of.

How can I not let you——

"Well, I was hunting just now and saw the grass swaying not far away. I thought it was the enemy approaching, so I kicked it..."

"...and then?" Bai Niao turned his head expressionlessly.

"I feel so guilty! I'm such an idiot! The sentinel brother has been taken away by the medical ninja. It seems that he has three broken ribs..."

...How can it not drive you crazy?

.........

At the same time, in the Land of Waves, across the sea from the Land of Fire, at the Hidden Mist Camp.

The last two ninja sword holders of Kirigakure came to the front line and brought a letter from the Mizukage with them.

Pah—Kurocho Raiga slammed the handwritten letter from Mizukage Yagura in front of the Pufferfish Demon, bared his big fangs, and gave the latter a gloating smile.

The puffer ghost took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and after just a few glances, he couldn't help but want to tear it up!
The Mizukage Yagura, who was usually easy-going, went crazy and attacked the Pufferfish Demon in the letter without leaving any face. He said basically everything except dirty words and cursed the highest commander on the front line.

The puffer ghost felt that his blood pressure was a little high, and even had some signs of cerebral hemorrhage, but he still gritted his teeth and finished reading the letter.

It’s bullshit, it’s really bullshit, you are right to scold me!
Because of his misjudgment of Konoha's movements, the eight thousand Kirigakure ninjas looked at each other affectionately across the sea at the mere two thousand enemies, like idiots.
Although the pufferfish ghost felt that even if the dwarf like Gojira Yagura was here, he would come to the same conclusion as him, but wrong is wrong, there is no doubt about it, and he has to stand at attention when being beaten.

Yagura also showed some mercy to Fuguki and only reprimanded him in a private letter. He did not let Raiga publicly read out the order of dismissal in person, but instead asked him to resign on his own.

Yes, dismissal.

The Pufferfish Ghost was relieved of his post as the supreme commander of the front line, and all matters on the front line——

"I feel deeply guilty for my previous erroneous command. Effective immediately, I will resign as the supreme commander of the front line. From now on, all matters concerning the front line will be decided by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

The puffer ghost stood up, walked down from the main seat under the teasing gazes of everyone, especially Biwa Juuzou, and stood with the others.

He was very grateful to the Mizukage Yagura for not publicly dismissing him, but that didn't stop him from cursing in his heart:
"Karoju Yagura, you are such an idiot!"

Two armies are facing each other, the situation is changing rapidly, and then you come to the seven-person meeting...

Don't you understand that a military order can only come from one person?

Or is it that old fellow Sarutobi Hiruzen on the other side of the ocean of learning who is playing political balancing act?

Okay, why don’t you learn this?
In his opinion, such a decision was meaningless except for delaying the issuance of orders and slowing down the speed of Kirigakure's attack. It was pure chaos!
Discuss and decide with those six guys? Those six guys are more stupid than each other, and even if they are put together, they can't form a complete brain.

Nonsense!

There was one person here and now who should have objected to such a naive decision.

But he said nothing.

The frontline staff officer, Kirigakure Jonin Ao, stood silently behind everyone, with no intention of speaking.

He thinks more than the puffer ghost.

"Any decision on the front line mentioned in the order must be agreed upon by all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen before it can be implemented. It is not that the seven ninja sword holders can lead their men to fight on their own, so the command system will not be confused. However, if the opinions of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are not unified, then our actions will become very slow."

"It seems that the Mizukage-sama does not want to fight this battle..."

'Mist Village is the weakest of the five major ninja villages. Cloud Village suffered over 10,000 casualties and nearly 10,000 injuries in the raid carefully planned by Konoha. They have almost withdrawn from this ninja war. After learning of the invasion of Iwagakure, Konoha's more than 30,000 elite ninjas will definitely come back to help!'

"That's it! Before Konoha went to war with the Sand Village and the Rock Village in the Land of Rain, the Mizukage didn't want to draw Konoha's attention. In this battle, the Mizukage... didn't want to win at all!"

"Yes, it is not difficult to eat up the two thousand people on the southeastern front of Konoha. With all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen deployed and the strong attack of eight thousand Kirigakure ninjas, Akimichi Tofu will not be able to stop it. But we may be in trouble after that..."

"It seems that before Konoha is truly mired in the quagmire of the Rain Country battlefield, we will not be allowed to go deep into the heart of the Fire Country... But we have to pretend, otherwise it will be too embarrassing!"

"We must at least inflict heavy damage on Konoha's southeastern camp, and our losses must be within an acceptable range."

"Once we have wiped out Konoha's frontline troops, those guys will definitely come up with their own opinions on the next action. While they are wasting time arguing with each other, the next order from the Mizukage should have arrived."

Looking at the backs of the people in front, even if I can't see their expressions, I can imagine the faces of the six people except the pufferfish ghost.

Qing chuckled in his heart.

The Mizukage gave you power not because of your abilities, but because he has enough "confidence" in your brains!

I don't know what you are so excited about...

I just feel sorry for the puffer fish ghost.

　The story of the Ninja World War is about to end. To be honest, I originally wanted to write a brief story about the Ninja World War, but I ended up wanting to explain everything and I couldn't stop rambling.
　　Next is the Lost Tower movie as a transition (it’s very short, mainly introducing Loulan, Dragon Veins, and some future Easter eggs), and then the protagonist opens the kaleidoscope!
　　Would you like to guess what the protagonist's kaleidoscope ability is?
　　Finally, please vote and read on!
　　Thank you!
