The clan members were already prepared and cooperated fully with the clan leader's arrangements. As for the lack of support from the Konoha higher-ups, the proud Uchiha clan did not need to cooperate.

Itachi Uchiha did not participate in the battle this time, but stayed in the village.

This time, they selected 100 Chunin and 15 Jonin.

Naturally, some clansmen still needed to remain to guard the clan and maintain the operation of the guard force.

Fugaku Uchiha specifically asked the Grand Elder to come out and support him in presiding over important clan affairs, and the Grand Elder naturally did not refuse.

When he learned that Ryosuke was going to participate in such a big battle, he couldn't help but worry and specifically told him to protect his safety.

The Hyuga clan also dispatched 50 Chunin and 10 Jonin to the border to participate in the great battle.

All those who participated in the battle gathered at the main gate of Konoha Village.

At Fugaku's command, the large army marched in a mighty procession toward the border between Konoha and Kumogakure.

After they set off, Kakashi, who had been observing from the shadows, returned to the Hokage to report to the Third Hokage.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was sitting in his seat.

Seeing that Kakashi had already entered, he asked.

"Has the Uchiha clan already set off?"

"That Uchiha Ryosuke must have gone along too, right?"

Kakashi nodded.

"Yes, they've already set off. I saw Uchiha Ryosuke in the crowd heading out to battle."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed, as Danzo had already informed him that a message had been sent to the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure.

I believe the Fourth Raikage won't refuse his proposal. Although it would sacrifice some of the village's interests, it would all be worth it as long as Uchiha Ryosuke could be killed.

Ideally, Kumokage Village should be able to wipe out most of the Uchiha clan members.

Under his command, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha could also take the opportunity to seize power within the Uchiha clan.

Then the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan can be completely eased.

As for the Hyuga clan...

They would rather believe the words of the Uchiha clan members than stand on his side as Hokage.

Let's treat this as a lesson to them.

Meanwhile, Kakashi in his office hesitated about whether to offer advice to the Hokage.

But he served under the Hokage.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made up my mind.

After all, this is war, which concerns the future of the village, and this whole thing is really strange.

"Lord Hokage, is it not a good idea to assign the power of both clans to deal with the attack from Kumokage Village this time?"

The Third Hokage was displeased, but he still pretended to speak.

"The Uchiha and Hyuga clans are both major clans in the village, with outstanding fighting strength, which is enough to deal with Kumogakure. There is no need to worry."

Kakashi was speechless. He just felt that this was very strange. Perhaps the Hokage had overlooked something, but in reality, the Hokage shouldn't have overlooked anything.

Perhaps this is just a power struggle between high-ranking officials; he'd better stay out of it.

"Understood, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi then left.

The Third Hokage then looked at the list that Danzo had sent on the table; it was the list of the people he wanted.

It says that there is Aburame Torune of the Aburame clan, a genius of the Aburame clan, and Yamanaka Fu of the Yamanaka clan, who is also a genius.

Aburame Torune is an exceptionally talented individual within the Aburame clan.

The other is skilled in the art of mind transference.

They are truly two promising talents.

Danzo did a good job this time, so let's give it to him.

A few days later, the allied forces of the two clans were approaching the border between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Fugaku immediately ordered his troops to set up camp and rest, conserving their energy to deal with the ninjas from Kumogakure.

Meanwhile, Fugaku, Ryosuke, and Yashiro Uchiha were quietly waiting in the tent for the return of the Hyuga clan head.

Because the head of the Hyuga clan had personally led several of his clansmen to scout ahead.

They had no reason to doubt the Byakugan's investigative capabilities.

The Byakugan's detection capabilities are far superior to their Sharingan.

About an hour later, the head of the Hyuga family finally entered the tent.

This time, he personally led the team to the border to scout out the enemy's situation.

This shows his caution, considering that the number of combat personnel from both of their races was relatively small this time.

The slightest mistake could lead to total defeat, so he volunteered to take on the reconnaissance mission.

This is also because his Byakugan power far surpasses that of his clansmen. Ordinary clansmen's Byakugan can only observe things within 1 kilometer, while he can even observe things more than 1 kilometer away.

However, after identifying the enemy's main fighting force, his expression became even more grave.

Fugaku Uchiha saw the head of the Hyuga clan enter the tent and asked him a question.

"Head of the Hyuga clan, how is the situation?"

The head of the Hyuga family spoke first.

"This time, Yunying Village only sent 300 people, which is twice the size of ours."

"But the main fighting force is terrifying. Not only the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, but even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage have come."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku and Yatsushiro Uchiha both became serious. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was the most powerful weapon of war besides the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki once fought a great battle with Minato Namikaze, one of the four great warriors, and was slightly at a disadvantage.

Now, four years later, that Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is probably even more powerful.

The two-tailed Jinchūriki was even hailed as the perfect Jinchūriki.

These two are at least comparable to Kage-level powerhouses, and yet they actually sent two of them.

It seems that the tailed beasts of Cloud Shadow Village can now exert their normal combat power, otherwise they wouldn't have been mobilized.

As for the Fourth Raikage, he was a powerful figure among the Kage-level shinobi.

There has never been a weak Raikage throughout history.

The difference in troop strength between the two sides is quite significant, and the opponent's advanced combat power is rather frightening.

They have two clan leaders here, and it would be very difficult, even impossible, for them to defeat the Tailed Beasts alone. They could only hold them off.

It can only be trapped and sealed with the help of backup ninjas.

The head of the Hyuga family spoke at this moment.

"I am confident that I can hold off the Fourth Raikage."

"Clan Chief Fugaku should also be able to hold off the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki."

"But the opponent also has a Jinchuriki who is a Tailed Beast. What should we do?"

"Even if we were to spare some ninjas to fight, we would probably be at a disadvantage."

Hiashi Hyuga analyzed the current situation, noting that even if the battle was divided into three fronts, all three were weak, and he saw no possibility of victory.

Fugaku agreed with the Hyuga family head's words.

"Ryosuke, what do you think we should do?"

Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Yatsuho, who were present, all looked at Uchiha Ryosuke.

Hiashi Hyuga guessed that this Ryosuke Uchiha must be a strong member of the Uchiha clan, otherwise Fugaku wouldn't have asked for his opinion.

In Yashiro's eyes, Ryosuke was the representative of their radical faction, so naturally they should listen to his opinions. After all, he was a powerful figure who had kicked away the black-clad man who was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Ryosuke was also a bit speechless.

Although Hiashi Hyuga's analysis was very clear, he overlooked the fact that there was also a strong person on their side, and that was him.

Chapter 96 Proposal

Ryosuke said slowly.

"According to the information brought by the head of the Hyuga family, the number of people they sent this time is twice that of us."

"There are even two tailed beasts and the Fourth Raikage himself coming to fight."

"The situation is really quite urgent."

"I propose that the two clan leaders hold off the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the other side, while I try to take down the Two-Tails Jinchuriki before going to support the others."

What do you guys think?

Although he estimated his strength to be at the level of a Kage, it was still just an estimate.
