The Master of Konoha's Legacy

My house needs someone to clean it regularly.

I put the reward for the task on the living room table.

"no problem."

Having explained everything, Uchiha Tonan stopped dawdling.

With a flash, he rushed towards the Leaf Village's barrier.

[Chapter 229. Pre-Battle Meeting: Tu Nan Makes His Appearance]

It would take a Jonin about two days to travel from Konoha to the border of the Land of Rain at full speed.

The lower-ranking ninjas carrying supplies will take about ten days to arrive.

Not all supplies can be carried using storage scrolls.

Storage scrolls are expensive, and it's impossible to equip every ninja with one.

Uchiha Tonan always used storage scrolls because he was quite wealthy.

He received a huge amount of compensation when he first started to make his fortune, and not long after, he received angel investment from Sanhe Yuanliang, making his net worth tens of millions.

Not to mention that Uchiha Tonan now has Naraku as a filial disciple.

All you need to do is let them know that you're broke and in a bad mood.

The money was deposited into my account the next day.

In the original story, Orochimaru had to rely on the daimyo of the Land of Fields for funding to conduct his research after he defected from Akatsuki.

The one with the most money is Da Ming.

Uchiha Tonan did not quickly catch up with the Jonin group, but instead lagged behind the Genin group at a leisurely pace.

There's nothing important to do if you arrive early; most of the tasks are guard duties to prevent enemy spies from flooding in from the border of the Rain Country.

Nine days later.

Mount Kikyo, located at the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

The enormous command headquarters has been built on the mountaintop, surrounded by tents of all sizes.

Judging from the number of tents, the number of ninjas in the western front this time is approximately eight thousand.

Inside the command tent, Nara Shikaku, the newly appointed head of the Nara clan, sat in the main seat.

The left-hand man is seated Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga clan and Aburame Eboshi, a representative of the Aburame clan.

Seated on the right are Akimichi Choza, the head of the Akimichi clan, and Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan.

This is the main ninja clan that fought against the combined forces of Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

The five major families are thriving, and most of their members with combat capabilities have been mobilized here, numbering around two thousand.

Most of the Aburame clan members were transferred to the Kumogakure defense line by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, the pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village is the greatest.

It is not to say that the Hidden Cloud Village alone is stronger than the combined forces of the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Sand Village.

Instead, the Cloud Village's defense line is mostly located in flat areas, requiring direct confrontation.

However, on this front, Konoha possesses unique natural defenses.

As long as Kikyo Mountain can be defended, the combined forces of the two great ninja villages will basically be unable to get through, at most a few Jonin will slip through.

However, the rule among ninjas is that during wartime, they cannot attack civilians of the opposing country; they can only attack ninjas.

At most, a few Jonin would gather intelligence, but they wouldn't dare to go to Konoha to cause trouble.

Going there would only be a way to give credit to the personnel left behind.

Of course, there were also more than ten representatives from other ninja clans sitting at the table.

Examples include the Kurama clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Sarutobi clan, and the Shimura clan.

This is because each ninja clan has its own unique characteristics, and sending a few people over is just in case.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Akimichi Choza shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shikaku, everyone's here, hurry up and tell me the battle plan."

Nara Shikaku sat down and shook his head, saying, "Wait a minute, there's still someone who hasn't arrived."

Hyuga Hizashi crossed his arms and glanced sideways at Nara Shikaku, saying, "Who else?"

Akimichi Choza glanced at the representatives present one by one, counting them on his large, fat fingers, and said with a look of confusion on his face, "The representatives of all the families have arrived, right?"

The representatives from all ethnic groups present all looked puzzled.

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard from outside the tent.

"How could such a massive war be complete without the Uchiha clan, the largest clan in Konoha?"

The tent flap was lifted, and Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a white shirt, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and carrying the Kusanagi sword, walked in with a smile.

He adjusted his glasses, glanced around at the crowd, and said leisurely:

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The moment Hyuga Hizashi saw Uchiha Tonan appear, his pupils suddenly contracted as he recalled the scene at the Konoha barrier that day.

"Uchiha Tunan..."

“Tunan…”

"Tu Nan Jun".

.......

All the representatives nodded in goodwill towards Uchiha Tonan.

After all, no one who has reached this level is an idiot.

He would speak rudely to Uchiha Tonan in such a situation.

Moreover, it has always been rumored in the village that Uchiha Tonan possesses combat power comparable to the Sannin.

The addition of Uchiha Tonan is also a good thing for them.

Everyone likes to have a god-like teammate who can carry them to victory.

As soon as Uchiha Tonan entered, Shikaku immediately stood up from his seat.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always stood together through thick and thin, and Yamanaka Inoichi was impressed by Nara Shikaku's high regard for Uchiha Tonan.

He immediately stood up as well, and his hand under the table secretly tugged at Akimichi Choza's elbow.

Although Akimichi Choza didn't understand what was going on, he obediently stood up as well.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and stood up as well.

Nara Shikaku placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Uchiha Tonan, saying:

"Thank you for your contribution to Konoha. Please have a seat."

The others also bowed to Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, and without any modesty, he sat down directly opposite Nara Shikaku in a very imposing manner.

During wartime, humility, politeness, and amiability are of no use whatsoever.

Strength is the key.

The more arrogant he appears, the more confident his teammates become.

After everyone had sat down, Nara Shikaku cleared his throat and said:

"Now that everyone is here, and since we still have enough time, let me first explain the battle plan to you."

Then, he went to the map behind him and said:

"This is a map of the ninja world."

As you can see, starting from the border between the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Earth, the terrain here suddenly rises.

They traveled along the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth.

When it reaches the Land of Rain, the terrain drops slightly.

The largest river in the Land of Earth flows from here into the Land of Rain, and then through the Land of Rivers to the sea.

Meanwhile, the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers are separated by towering mountains stretching for thousands of miles, extending all the way to the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain is low-lying, situated in a basin, its shape resembling the mouth of a bottle.

This is why every major ninja war took place in the Land of Rain.

Mount Kikyo, which is where we are now.

Here.

"Mount Kikyo is exactly the top of the slender mouth of the Rain Country, just like a bottle cap."

As long as Mount Kikyo remains standing, the allied forces of the two countries will not be able to breach the defenses.

"However, despite this, Mount Kikyo is not steep and does not pose much of an obstacle for ninjas."

Therefore, we cannot just defend here.

We must push the battle line forward to the heart of the Land of Rain.

This is the spot.

This is another place where the bottle opening is the narrowest.

We need to hold off the combined forces of the two countries here, forcing them to abandon their main force and engage in small-scale combat with us.

However, there is a problem: our troop strength is far inferior to that of the two allied forces, so we must hold on in this battle.

If we lose, then we'll have to proactively disperse our forces and switch to squad-based sniping.

Uchiha Tonan suddenly interjected, "How many ninjas does the allied forces of the two countries have this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Nara Shikaku's face.

Nara Shikaku paused for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "Nearly 30,000, of which nearly 20,000 are ninja from Iwagakure."

Nara Shikaku originally didn't intend to reveal this news and planned to cover it up.
