The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

After Uchiha Sanfeng's detailed analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, the war will not end for more than two months, and the current situation of supplies and defense at the stronghold is extremely dire.

Despite Commander-in-Chief Fugaku's confident assurances that he would resolve the supply problem, everyone remained uncertain.

The head of the Kurama clan was the first to turn his gaze to the young Uchiha, earnestly asking, "Young friend Mitsumine, we all think your analysis is very logical, but the war will continue for more than two months. Do you have any good strategies to help us overcome the current crisis?"

Uchiha Mitsunori turned to Fugaku and calmly asked, "Clan head, how do you plan to solve the supplies problem? You're not planning to personally return to Konoha and demand supplies from the Third Hokage, are you? And if you can't get them, are you going to divert clan funds to buy a batch of resources yourself and send them over?"

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head with a wry smile: "You guessed it after all. That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori frowned deeply. He recalled a similar scene from the original story: after Uchiha Fugaku returned to the village, he brought four-year-old Uchiha Itachi to the front lines, only to find the corpses of Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas along the way. From this, one could imagine how extremely fierce the battle must have been.

He raised his voice and said seriously, "If the Fourth Raikage declares war on Iwagakure tomorrow, then tonight and tomorrow morning are crucial. I predict that Iwagakure might launch a large-scale night attack tonight, attempting to crush us before Kumogakure can intervene. If Commander-in-Chief Fugaku leaves the front lines now, not only will the base be leaderless and command in disarray, but we will also lose a Kage-level fighter for nothing!"

Upon hearing that the Iwagakure Society would launch a large-scale sneak attack tonight, everyone in the meeting room suddenly realized what was going on, and the atmosphere became tense.

The Kazami clan chief gasped, "That's right! If Kumogakure declares war on Iwagakure tomorrow, Iwagakure will inevitably have to divide its forces to defend the Land of Lightning. At that time, their numerical advantage on our side will disappear, and the balance of power will be reversed. If I were the commander of Iwagakure, I would definitely launch a general offensive tonight while we still have the numerical advantage. If Commander-in-Chief Fugaku is not stationed at the stronghold, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The surrounding Jonin echoed, "Since Iwagakure is launching a full-scale attack tonight, we must immediately set up traps and be on high alert, ensuring they don't return alive!"

Hearing his junior's brilliant analysis, Uchiha Yatsumo admired him even more and decided to help him out again.

"Sanfeng, what are your ideas regarding setting up traps?"

Uchiha Mitsunori humbly bowed and replied, "I am still relatively inexperienced in setting up traps. I would like to hear the insights of my seniors first, so that I can learn from them."

This humble attitude of seeking advice immediately won the favor of the assembled Jonin towards this young Uchiha junior. After all, on the battlefield of blood and fire, a commander who knows how to gather wisdom from all sides and respect his elders is more convincing.

Hearing that this young Jonin had adopted such a humble attitude, he instantly won the favor of many Jonin.

The Third Shinobi World War, a war between Konoha and Iwagakure, has been going on for over a year.

This Konoha stronghold camp had been attacked by Iwagakure five times, so it can be said that both sides had some experience in attacking and defending strongholds.

But when they heard that they planned to plant a large number of explosive tags at the entrance to the valley, deploy heavy troops to defend the two high grounds, and launch a surprise attack and counterattack from the central army upon discovering the enemy, the more Uchiha Sanfeng listened, the more his brows furrowed.

"Um, I have some ideas about the defense deployment, but I'm not sure if I should say them!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Sanfeng's speech, everyone was quite respectful, and the room fell silent for a moment.

"We only have a little over 4000 ninjas, while the Iwagakure side has about 6000. The enemy's advantage is manpower and supplies, while our advantage is time. We don't need to fight Iwagakure head-on at all. We can use space to buy time, so our casualties will be very small, while our advantage will grow bigger and bigger."

After listening, the people in the room began to discuss it.

The Kazami clan chief, quick-witted as ever, spoke up: "Yes, Kumogakure will declare war on Iwagakure tomorrow and launch their attack the day after. If we can stall for just one night, Iwagakure will surely retreat. There's absolutely no need for us to confront them head-on!"

The Kazami clan chief's analysis hit the nail on the head, and the eyes of many Jonin once again turned to the Uchiha Sanfeng.

"My suggestion is to divide the defense into three lines. The first line of defense consists of the entrance to the valley and the two high grounds on the left and right, all of which will be defended by shadow clones. The purpose is to block the enemy, not to kill them."

"The second line of defense is in front of the base. The Jonin are spread out to defend, and the goal is still to stop the enemy. So after the Jonin use up their ninjutsu and shuriken, they must retreat immediately and not linger in battle."

"After being delayed by the first and second lines of defense, the enemy will concentrate in the third line of defense. The third line of defense is inside the stronghold. Because there are buildings and other structures, the terrain is relatively complex. Therefore, we will concentrate the traps inside the stronghold, use some shadow clones to lure the enemy, and finally detonate the traps ourselves. This way, the damage of the traps will be maximized."

After hearing about the layout of the three lines of defense, everyone turned their attention to the sand table and began to discuss it.

Uchiha Hachimoku stared at the sand table, tugged at his beard, and said, "Currently, we have 439 special Jonin, 165 Jonin, and 37 elite Jonin. With these three lines of defense, we should be able to kill or injure about 800-1200 enemies at minimal cost."

Upon hearing that there were still so many Jonin-level combatants, the Jonin in the command room huddled together and discussed it, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

At this moment, the Kurama clan chief asked incredulously, "Didn't we lose over 3000 men? Why do we still have so many Jonin-level fighters left?"

Hearing the questioning voices, Uchiha Yatsuhoshi rubbed his aching chin and said, "We have a total of 3226 casualties, including 2515 genin and 604 chunin. The casualty rate of jonin is actually not high, so we do not lack high-level combat power, which is why we have been able to hold on until now."

The Kazami clan chief narrowed his eyes and raised a question: "This plan is highly feasible, but the drawback is that it requires Jonin to consume a lot of chakra. Once chakra is lacking, Jonin are only slightly stronger than Chunin. Therefore, if the war becomes a stalemate, it will lead to the death of a large number of Jonin."

Those who can attend meetings in the command center are at least Jonin level. Now that someone has proposed this plan, which will lead to the deaths of a large number of Jonin, there are immediately voices of opposition.
