Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

"Gentlemen, since the departure of the two great heroes of the Warring States period, this throne in the sky has been vacant for too long. It urgently needs a new king to ascend the throne and proclaim its majesty."

However, no one was born standing in heaven, neither you nor I, not even God.

We need companions, we need to extend our will, we need to spread our ideas, just as God needs believers.

And darkness, the darker it is, the easier it is for light and faith to arise.

Mikoto, you must have noticed the changes within the Uchiha clan as well.

The Second Hokage was always targeting the Uchiha clan, but he was a man of great talent and ambition who wouldn't resort to low-level tactics. Many people also admired his achievements and abilities.

In comparison, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were complete trash, utterly incompetent yet claiming the title of strongest Hokage, and privately engaging in despicable and vile acts that were unbearable to behold.

Among these, the Uchiha clan suffered the most persecution and injustice.

If my prediction is correct, your family is likely on the verge of splitting up.

You can quietly gather those who are dissatisfied with the higher-ups around you and use them later. It's best not to act in person, but find a trustworthy agent.

There's also the daily rate, you're the same.

The main family and the branch family, hehe. A few years ago, my body was not fully developed, so I could not over-train in either taijutsu or ninjutsu. I put more than 70% of my energy into sealing techniques.

At the current pace and level of progress, it probably won't be long before the "Caged Bird Syndrome" is completely solved.

Under the watchful eyes of the five people around her, Uehara Siming looked up at the night sky.

murmured:

"The unbearable void on the throne of heaven is finally coming to an end."

From this day forward, we will stand at the top!

As he spoke, his body suddenly began to twist and turn strangely.

Spinning around, gesturing wildly, it seemed to be performing a strange dance, yet it was very rhythmic.

He was singing a strange song, with ups and downs, which was surprisingly quite pleasant to listen to.

Beside her, Mikoto nodded solemnly.

"Uehara-kun, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best."

As for the sun, it had completely lost its focus.

He seemed lost in some kind of intense longing, his eyes vacant and his expression blank.

Minato and Rope Tree were infected.

Being young and carefree by nature, they didn't think much before following Uehara Siming and swaying their bodies to dance this simple yet strange dance.

As ninjas, they have an extremely high degree of control over their bodies, making it very easy for them to perform certain actions, and they can even perfectly replicate them after watching them only once.

Before long, a one-person dance became a six-person dance.

The six of them simultaneously twisted their bodies, rhythmically dancing and waving to the accompaniment of Uehara Siming's singing.

In the darkness, in places unseen by the eyes, it seemed that many more identical figures had joined in and leaped up.

I just don't know why, but I always feel like something's missing from their hands.

Oh right, it's an axe. The axe is missing.

Chapter 85: F4's Wise Moves - A Familiar Feeling Returns

With the addition of Uehara Shimei and six other monstrous talents who, though nominally Chunin, were already comparable to elite Jonin,

This front, which had suffered repeated defeats, quickly halted its decline and launched several counterattacks, achieving considerable success.

As for the main camp direction,

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade—these three spirited and promising new Kage-level fighters are not to be underestimated.

Like a pillar of strength, he immediately stabilized the situation upon taking office, addressing both internal chaos and the retreat on the battlefield.

After Jiraiya infiltrated the Land of Rain alone and ascertained the general situation of the battlefield, and Tsunade developed an antidote for the salamander's venom,

A vigorous counter-offensive then unfolded.

What does it mean to strategize within the command tent and win battles a thousand miles away?

Orochimaru targeted the weakness of Amegakure, where only Hanzo could dominate the battlefield, relentlessly striking at its Achilles' heel.

Each time, they would launch a multi-pronged attack, but no matter which team encountered Hanzo, they would immediately retreat, never giving him any chance to entangle with them.

After several such incidents, even the demigod was so angry that he started cursing.

Thus, just over two months later, at the beginning of the thirty-eighth year of Konoha,

The battlefield situation returned to the state it was in when the war had just broken out in the spring of 1937, and it would be no exaggeration to describe it as a great victory.

As lost battle lines and fallen positions were recaptured,

The morale and momentum of the entire ninja army surged and soared at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

Some people even started referring to them as the three generals in private.

Although this title was not retained after the name of the Three Legendary Sannin spread, it was enough to demonstrate the love and trust the three of them received.

At the same time, Uehara Shinmei also made many military achievements and rose to become the commander of one of the three largest battle lines, with more than a thousand ninjas under his command.

He also frequently led five other people to personally visit the wounded, rewarding merits and punishing demerits, and ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the refereeing.

Many people in the camp had received kindness and care from this young genius.

In addition, anything reported by Shangyuan Siming, whether it's requesting credit for subordinates, applying for supplies, or allocating personnel, etc.,

Snake approved everything without questioning it.

His plan to win people's hearts went very smoothly, and he has become the ideal man for many.

If there's one thing I'm not happy about...

Uehara Shinmei originally wanted to command a large army as a Chunin and show off a bit.

The news had barely reached Konoha when Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old devil, launched a sneak attack and suddenly promoted him to Jonin at the age of eleven.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze, the vice-captain of Jiraiya's team, was also promoted.

Two eleven-year-old Jonin were born, and both had sufficient battle records and merits to back them up.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village, especially the ninja army on the front lines of the Land of Rain, was in an uproar, further boosting their already high morale.

"Damn it, I clearly didn't apply for it, and no one helped me with the promotion report, so what right does he have to issue the order without my consent?"

Frontline military tents

Uehara Siming stared at the scroll in his hand, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was especially furious when he saw the four big characters "Shimura Danzo" written in the guarantor's signature column.

Damn it, he calls Tsunade "sister," Orochimaru "uncle," and Jiraiya is his teacher.

It's not like we can't find anyone, so why would that old dog Danzo be the one to vouch for us?

"Isn't a promotion a good thing?"

Hiashi doesn't quite understand Uehara Shimei's thought process. Why does she insist on leading a large army as a Chunin?

You might feel good that way, but wouldn't the Konoha F4 look like idiots and morons?

"He might be deliberately not applying for promotion, deliberately not getting promoted, so that everyone would think the Hokage's rewards and punishments are unfair?"

Minato attempted to interpret it.

The Japanese soldier rolled his eyes and said:

"They're not stupid; how could such a straightforward and simple scheme possibly succeed?"

He was speechless.

Suddenly, a report came in from outside that there were ANBU members. Not long after, they received a direct order from the Konoha Ninja Army Commander-in-Chief.

Uehara Shimei, Uchiha Mikoto, and Nawaki were transferred back to the front-line base headquarters to serve as Orochimaru's assistants.

Command of this ninja force was then transferred to Midori Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had also just been promoted to Jonin.

As for Jiraiya's team, namely Minato and his two companions, they stayed behind to assist the new commander who was about to take office.

"This this……"

Hyuga Hizashi, who had just been saying that the Hokage couldn't possibly be that stupid, suddenly seemed to choke and couldn't even speak for a moment.

F4 weren't as stupid as he imagined; in fact, they were even stupider than he thought.

Such blatant appropriation of credit, without even trying to cover it up, aren't they afraid of giving others ammunition to criticize them?

The sir opened his mouth wide, speechless for a long time.

In the end, only one sentence could be left.

"This Konoha will eventually belong to Uehara," he said, and strode away.

They had witnessed everything Uehara Siming had done over the past two months.

No, to be precise, it was done by their gang; I was an accomplice.

This guy's goal was never to gain command of this mere thousand-strong ninja army, nor to acquire any small amount of military merit.

Instead, we should plant a seed in the deepest part of everyone's heart.

He even gave the project a name with great interest: "The Seeder".

Targeting someone under these circumstances is just adding fuel to the fire, isn't it?

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

As his close subordinates and squad leaders of various camps, they had the deepest understanding of the extraordinary talent displayed by Uehara Siming.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be the feeling of flying.

From the perfection and precision of strategic and tactical deployments, to the absolute fairness and impartiality in rewarding merit and punishing demerit, and to the thoughtful and warm logistical support,

After these people have enjoyed the full range of thoughtful protections provided by Shangyuan Siming...

If we were to return to those precarious days, being led to our deaths by some clueless idiot, what would we all think?
