Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

He had just witnessed the entire battle between Uchiha Xiao and Uchiha Qing. Only his grandfather and his grandfather's opponents knew how to use the unmarked ninjutsu.

This man can do it too, doesn't that mean he's a ninja who can compete with grandpa!

At this time, Shengshu, who was named by him, was extremely excited, but he still maintained his composure, because everyone present was staring at him, and he could not embarrass his grandfather and the Senju clan.

Uchiha Xiao glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Come with me." After that, he waved to Senju Nawaki, then looked at the army, "Everyone, disperse where you are, go and rest, and adjust your state. Next, there is another tough battle to fight!"

After saying that, he took Senju Nawaki to the office. In the office, the future three ninjas were planning how to send troops. Jiraiya thought that they should go straight to the dragon's lair and fight directly with Hanzo of the Salamander.

Orochimaru was speechless. How come this guy and I are from the same school? Hanzo Salamander is a ninja that even the teacher may not be able to deal with. In addition to his superb swordsmanship, he also has a highly poisonous physique and the summoning beast Salamander.

The summoned beast, the Salamander, was strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the tailed beasts. If they fought head-on, even if the three of them might have a chance of winning, what would happen to the vanguard? Would they just send them to their deaths?

They are all elites from their respective families. If we allow them to be killed, when they return to the village, won’t Danzo accuse them of improper command?

If you wear this thing, you will have no chance of becoming Hokage!

"Lady Tsunade, Uchiha Owl and Rope Tree request to participate in the meeting." Uchiha Owl's voice was steady and serious.

Orochimaru's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Uchiha Owl, it seemed that Tsunade mentioned it just now. This kid seemed to have some tricks that could allow the army to predict danger in advance.

Then Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, and Jiraiya also looked at Tsunade, because at this moment, logically speaking, the two of them came to the alliance and were guests, while Tsunade was the host.

Tsunade nodded and said loudly, "Come in."

"Yes!" Then Uchiha Xiao walked in with Sheng Shu after the guard opened the door.

"Naoshu! You little brat! Are you hurt?" Tsunade walked to Naoshu with concern on her face and checked his body, fearing that he was injured somewhere.

"Sister, I'm fine. Besides, I killed three or four Rain Ninjas during this march!" Senju Nawaki scratched his head and said with a smile.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru, thank you. I'm relieved that you're taking care of Nawaki."

Orochimaru waved his hand and said, "Nawoki is very smart and sensible. He has achieved what he has today through his own efforts." As Orochimaru said this, he looked at Senju Nawoki with a smile on his face.

Shengshu is his disciple, so it is his duty to take care of him.

Tsunade: "Orochimaru, stop praising him. I know exactly what my brother is like." After saying this, Orochimaru laughed.

At this time, Orochimaru was not as gloomy as he was later in life and did not want eternal life. Like most people, his goal was to become Hokage.

Jiraiya, with a smile on his face, hugged Senju Nawaki and pulled him aside. "Ahem, have you finished reading those books I gave you? I'll give you a few more when we get back to the village!"

Senju Nawaki's eyes instantly became hot. "Thank you, Jiraiya-senpai!"

Uchiha Xiao looked at this scene with a smile on his face. He had only seen the bond between the three ninjas and the smile of Senju Nawaki in anime, but now that he was actually there, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

At this time, Tsunade walked up to Uchiha Owl and stretched out her hand to wave it in front of Uchiha Owl's face.

"Owl Lord? Owl Lord? What are you thinking about?" Tsunade was a little confused.

Uchiha Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw Tsunade in front of him, his face suddenly turned red, and he quickly knelt on one knee, "Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry."

Tsunade was stunned, touched her forehead, and helped Uchiha Owl up. "I just saw you were laughing at everyone, so I asked you what you were thinking about."

Uchiha Owl said shyly, "It makes me envious to see that Nawaki, Tsunade-sama, Orochimaru-sama, and Jiraiya-sama get along so well together."

Orochimaru also came over at this moment. He said to Uchiha Owl, "Owl-sama, I heard from Tsunade that you have a ninjutsu that can predict danger. Can you let me see it?"

Orochimaru was very curious about Uchiha Owl. What kind of ninjutsu could allow the Senju troops to suffer almost zero casualties?

Having said that, even Jiraiya and Senju Nawaki stopped fighting and looked over here.

Uchiha Xiao first questioned Tsunade with his eyes, and Tsunade smiled and nodded, "Everyone present is one of us."

Uchiha Owl nodded at this point. Although Uchiha Owl's questioning of Tsunade seemed unnecessary, it reflected the ways of the world.

Then, Uchiha Owl covered his left eye, and the dust in the air began to gather and form an eyeball, floating in the air and circling around the people in the office.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. "Sir, this is a detection-type magnetic ninjutsu, right? It can share vision, detect intelligence, and reduce casualties. I just don't know the range. If the ninjutsu is broken, what kind of damage will it cause to the caster?"

Orochimaru is worthy of being Orochimaru. Even though he hasn't started research yet, his observation skills are among the best!

"The range is ten kilometers. Even if the eye is destroyed, this ninjutsu cannot be performed again within three hours. The impact on the caster himself is probably a bit irritating." Uchiha Xiao said.

Orochimaru nodded. No wonder none of the people Tsunade brought were hurt. With such a magical detection skill, as long as they knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm, basically nothing would happen.

He looked at Tsunade and couldn't help but sigh that Lord Mito had a very sharp vision to choose such a genius as Tsunade's confidant.

Chapter 18: Fortify the walls and clear the fields; a siege must leave a gap

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Owl with a fiery look in his eyes. He also wanted this technique, but it was a pity that he did not have the bloodline limit of magnetic escape, otherwise this skill would be a magical skill for him.

Tsunade saw Orochimaru's fiery gaze fixed on Uchiha Owl and could not help but snorted coldly, then stood in front of Uchiha Owl and said, "Why, Orochimaru, you want to snatch someone from me?"

Orochimaru stared at the scene with wide eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then he glanced at Jiraiya out of the corner of his eye. Jiraiya scratched his head, unaware of this.

Orochimaru was speechless. Jiraiya was really stupid. Never mind. He stopped thinking about him. Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and said, "No, I'm just interested in Owl-sama's detection ninjutsu. Besides, this is the confidant chosen for you by Mito-sama. How could I snatch him away?"

"Hmph, you are the best!" Uchiha Owl is a favorite in Tsunade's heart. He has double bloodline, can fight, is not greedy for credit, and always thinks of her. This is simply the best assistance God has given her!

Uchiha Xiao scratched his head. It was not right for him to speak or not speak.

Then, Tsunade took Uchiha Owl's arm and walked to the main seat in the office and pushed him up.

Orochimaru:! ! !

Jiraiya:!!!

Rope Tree:! ! !

Uchiha Owl: !!!!!!

Is this the position he deserves? This is the position of the commander-in-chief, or in other words, most of the credit for this victory should be attributed to the commander-in-chief!

Uchiha Xiao hurriedly tried to get up, but Tsunade's strange strength came up, and Uchiha Xiao's face turned red, and he couldn't move at all.

"Lady Tsunade, didn't we agree on this before? This time I am just assisting you, I don't want any credit!" Uchiha Owl said hurriedly.

"Before was before, and now is now! Just now, Jiraiya suggested that the three of us have a decisive battle with Hanzo of the Salamander. I think it's a good idea, but in this way, the command of the army becomes a problem!" Tsunade said with a smile.

Orochimaru also figured out the key and said with a smile, "That's right, Lord Owl, at this time we need a commander who can lead the army to defeat the other ninjas of the Rain Country!"

"That's right, Owl, I heard from Tsunade that you are a military genius, so you are the only one who can lead the troops!" Jiraiya laughed.

Uchiha Xiao was stunned and frowned, "Tsunade said who proposed a duel with Hanzo?" He even forgot to struggle and looked at Jiraiya with a strange look in his eyes.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. Could it be that this kid...

Jiraiya was stunned. Isn't this a good plan? The three of us are under a lot of pressure!

Tsunade blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Jiraiya, and then at Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao patted Tsunade's arm, and Tsunade withdrew her hand that was suppressing Uchiha Xiao. Then Uchiha Xiao rested his chin on his hands and asked, "Why do you want to duel with him?"

Jiraiya scratched his head. "Because the intelligence says that the people of Rain Country, except for Hanzo the Salamander, are basically a motley crowd, so..."

"So, you three want to delay the main force, and then let the army clean up those ninjas and inflict heavy damage on them?" Uchiha Xiao said coldly.

Orochimaru was thinking silently. He had felt something was wrong just now, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. But looking at the Owl Lord's posture, it seemed that there was a better way.

Tsunade listened carefully to Uchiha Owl's words, looked at Uchiha Owl's back, and remained silent.

"Lord Jiraiya, what does Hanzo of the Salamander think about? He wants to expand his territory and show his strength and skills to other countries. If you fight him and lose, it will be shameful. If you win, he will be fighting one against three, and it will boost his reputation anyway. So why fight?" Uchiha Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Then, if we don't fight, how do we resolve this battle?" Jiraiya frowned. He thought his method was the best.

Uchiha Xiao suddenly looked directly at Jiraiya and said, "Master Jiraiya, if we follow your method, we will win, but don't forget that there are more than just our family in the Land of Rain."

"Iwagakure and Sunagakure are watching us. If we take action and win, and then those two guys take advantage of us and severely injure the rest of us, or even kill us, then we will win? Or lose?" Uchiha Xiao's fingers tapped the table rhythmically.

Jiraiya fell silent for a moment, and Orochimaru's eyes lit up. Yes, they were not the only family in the Rain Country, and they might be taken advantage of by others. No, according to the information about Ohnoki, he would definitely take action!

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Owl with eyes full of admiration.

Tsunade spoke at the right time, "Lord Owl, how should we fight this battle?"

Uchiha Xiao looked at the map. The Rain Country bordered the Earth Country and the Wind Country to the west and south respectively, and the Fire Country to the east. So...

"Tomorrow, we will send out our troops to attack Yuji Castle, the capital of the Land of Rain. Lady Tsunade will lead the Senju troops to surround the east gate of the city, Lord Jiraiya will lead the troops to surround the south gate, and Lord Orochimaru will lead the troops to surround the north gate."

"We will fortify our defenses and clear the fields every day, and cut off all the food supply routes nearby. As long as they send out troops, we will retreat. After they retreat, we will surround them." Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up.

"What about Ximen?" Jiraiya asked.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with a strange look, as if he was meeting Jiraiya for the first time.

"What does the west gate have to do with us? That's the Land of Earth. It's enough for us to surround these three gates! When the time comes, the Land of Rain will be forced into a corner and break out from the west gate, and it will be that guy Ohnoki who will be seriously injured." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Tsunade also nodded, "And by doing this, we can preserve the integrity of the army to the greatest extent and achieve our desired goals."

Uchiha Xiao nodded and said, "War is not only about the strength of the ninja and the army, but also about resources, national strength, weapons and other supplies."

"As long as we cut off their food supply for two months, they will either surrender or rush out of the west gate. It will then be a fight between trapped beasts. It will not be easy for the Land of Earth to deal with a group of starving people." After Uchiha Xiao said all this, he leaned back, closed his eyes and thought.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade all looked at Uchiha Xiao, which made Uchiha Xiao shudder. He opened his eyes and looked at the three of them, "No, why are you all looking at me? Is this strategy feasible? Give me an answer!"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Okay, of course. I'm just curious. Who taught Owl Lord such a high level of military skill?"

Tsunade also nodded. "Yes, Lord Owl's military strategy is indeed very powerful. He has turned the population war into a resource war that is in our favor!"

Jiraiya was convinced, "Sir, I am convinced now!"

Uchiha Xiao was stunned. Oh no, he was being too arrogant. This scheme seemed to be the first of its kind in the Naruto world! Oh my god! He failed to hide his incompetence!

Chapter 19 The Enemy Advances, We Retreat

General Uchiha Owl had explained the strategy very clearly, and even Jiraiya had understood the specific implementation methods.

Tsunade led the Senju clan to block the east gate to prevent the enemy from attacking Konoha Village. Jiraiya led the Uchiha clan to guard the south gate to prevent the enemy from contacting and colluding with the Sand Village. And Orochimaru led the elite of the major clans to guard the north gate to prevent the enemy from attacking Konoha Village from a roundabout way.

The three men led the team and stationed themselves clearly within the enemy's field of vision and out of the range of their shuriken throwing.

All the troops transporting food supplies from the surrounding towns to Yu Ji were intercepted by the three men's senior ninja teams, and without exception, all were successful.

Hanzo of the Salamander naturally knew that something was wrong, so he led his troops out of the city gate and headed straight for Tsunade. Tsunade saw that the city gate was open.

He quickly ordered "Everyone retreat!" and sent out a green flare. The Senju troops evacuated in an orderly manner. The Rain Ninjas pursued them relentlessly and encountered countless traps, detonating tags, and ground spikes from the Konoha ninjas in a dense forest.

The screams were heard one after another, and even Hanzo of the Salamander could not help but twitch his eyebrows. "Damned Konoha ninja, don't let me catch you, otherwise I will pull out your tendons and skin you alive!"

He looked at Tsunade in the distance with blood-red eyes, while Tsunade looked at him from afar without taking a step forward.

In the words of Uchiha Xiao, this is called guerrilla warfare. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
