Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Yamanaka Chujiu smiled back at Shisui, then said softly, "You all did a great job. Take a break and then we'll continue."

"Remember, you must continue to strictly obey instructions and not act without authorization."

"Yes, Lord Yamanaka Hatsukuni!"

The Konoha ninjas surrounded Yamanaka Hatsukyu, their eyes filled with trust and awe.

The previously defiant illusion squad leader, Yuhi Masashi, now stepped forward.

His attitude was respectful and cautious as he asked softly, "Lord Yamanaka Chujiu, was it you before?"

Yamanaka Chuuku looked at the Konoha ninja in front of him and nodded slightly, saying, "It's me."

Apart from the three Uchiha, the others were all veterans of the northern front, who had experienced continuous defeats and also witnessed the miraculous command of Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

Upon hearing Yamanaka Chukyu's admission, they let out an excited growl: "Fantastic!"

The growl was soft, but the emotion was almost manic.

Being a ninja is a profession that involves living on the edge, especially during wartime, when one could be killed at any moment.

No ninja dislikes a commander who can lead them to victory in battle.

What's the difference between a commander like Yamanaka Hatsukyu, who can not only lead his troops to victory but also save the lives of ninjas, and a god who saves people from suffering?

The fanaticism and madness of the Konoha ninjas are perfectly understandable!

Only three Uchiha were transferred from the eastern front, and they didn't know the specific situation. All the intelligence reports they heard were about retreating.

They thought the fighting on the northern front was going terribly badly and that the country was on the verge of defeat.

Even Uchiha Shisui, who was most familiar with Yamanaka Hatsukyu, was completely bewildered and couldn't understand why the others were so excited.

Shan Zhong Chu Jiu gave Zhi Shui a look, signaling him not to ask any questions.

Then he said softly to everyone, "I'll have to work hard now. If we can successfully infiltrate, we can destroy the Cloud Village's logistics center by noon today, and we'll have won this war."

"I will do my best to complete the mission and bring everyone home."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable confidence that gave every Konoha ninja a sense of assurance.

Fifteen minutes later, the Konoha raiding force set off again.

Shan Zhongchujiu was still walking at the forefront, his perception of the Heart Severance Realm unfolding, and the map in his mind becoming more precise and clear.

The Konoha ninjas, still clutching their senbon needles, remained silent, their morale high, yet their emotions remarkably stable, executing orders flawlessly.

Thirty-one Konoha ninjas moved through the Kumogakure defenses, seemingly oblivious to the dense sentries, patrols, and traps, and the team never revealed a trace of themselves.

As a bluish-white hue appeared on the eastern horizon, the Konoha ninjas broke through the Cloud Village army's defenses.

At the command of the ninth day of the mountain, they spat out the thousand books in their mouths, quickened their pace, and rushed northward at lightning speed.

The Uchiha squad was tasked with covering the rear.

Even after the gag order was lifted, the three Uchiha clan members remained silent.

The raiding force bypassed a series of supply convoys, but at 10:15, they precisely attacked a convoy transporting explosive tags, seizing enough tags to destroy a fortress.

Unable to contain himself any longer, the Eighth Hokage exclaimed in a low voice, "This...this is simply a miracle!"

Uchiha Tetsuka also breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain Hachi, I think so too."

Needless to say, Uchiha Shisui's faith became even more devout, and he didn't even know what to say to express his excitement.

In fact, in the realm of the heart's severance in the mountains, Chu Jiu had already sensed many sources of faith pointing to himself.

However, the gap in their values ​​was too great, making it impossible for their faith to coalesce and for them to draw upon this immense power of faith.

Shan Zhong Chu Jiu understood that this was the strongest ability of the Heart Severing Realm.

If one blindly embraces faith, and a massive influx of beliefs, along with a jumble of chaotic thoughts, floods into one's mind like a tsunami, can Shan Zhongchu really preserve his soul?

No!

Throughout history and across the world, countless renowned deities have been transformed and lost their original identities under the overwhelming tide of faith.

Leaving aside those barbaric Western gods, even the famous Guanyin Bodhisattva was transformed by the prayers of believers, changing from a standard male deity to a female deity, and ultimately becoming the Guanyin who grants children.

Given the appearance of the mountain dweller Chu Jiu, it's hard to guarantee that some lecherous old man won't believe in him and then have unspeakable wicked thoughts.

Over time, it's hard to guarantee that Chu Jiu in the mountains won't change his nature and become a living bodhisattva.

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

It is important to understand that the change in a god's image originates primarily from the divine soul and divine personality. If a god were forcibly distorted into this form by the power of faith, their own heart would have changed long ago.

Thankfully, there's the Heartbreak Firewall!

Shan Zhongchu felt secretly relieved and quickly focused his attention on traveling.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Finally, in the perception of the Heart Severance Realm, dense red dots appeared in the north, indicating that the logistics center of the Cloud Hidden Army had arrived.

Shan Zhongchu stopped and gave the order: "We've arrived. Now, take cover and rest. We'll launch a surprise attack in one hour!"

Upon hearing the order relayed by the communication snake, all the Konoha ninja did not hesitate and immediately set up a temporary camp.

One mixed reconnaissance team went forward to conduct reconnaissance, while another reconnaissance team set up a perimeter.

The other Konoha ninjas took out food and water, filled their stomachs as quickly as possible, and then went to sleep.

They need to seize the time to recover their physical strength, mental energy, and chakra as much as possible, so as to launch a final surprise attack in their strongest condition.

But Shan Zhong Chu Jiu did not sleep. The knowledge from his past life told him that commanders in war bear the lives of all their comrades and have no right to rest until victory is achieved.

Ryo Inuzuka, the leader of the mixed reconnaissance squad in charge of guard duty, heard his comrades' long breaths and saw Hatsukyu Yamanaka standing on the treetop, watching the Kumogakure supply center thousands of meters away. He was filled with emotion.

He said to his subordinates, "I have been fighting for ten years since the Second Shinobi World War. I have met Lord Hatake Sakumo, Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lord Namikaze Minato, but I have never met a commander like Lord Yamanaka Hatsuku."

His teammate, Takeshi Aburame, nodded silently, while Masayoshi Hyuga asked incredulously, "Captain, are you saying that Lord Hatsukyu Yamanaka is stronger than all these adults?"

Ryo Inuzuka shook his head, then nodded: "If we're talking about ninja strength, Lord Hajime Yamanaka is definitely not as good as you gentlemen."

"Lord Hatake Sakumo is incredibly sharp, Lord Jiraiya is like a mountain, Lord Orochimaru is mysterious and terrifying, Lord Namikaze Minato is unparalleled, and Lord Yamanaka Hatsuku is far inferior to them."

"But when it comes to battlefield command, Lord Chu Jiu completely outclasses these other officials."
