Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 156 The Skill of Drawing a Pie in the Sky

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Hidden Mist Sect began to exchange words with those around them, and for a moment the tent was filled with a buzzing sound.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon was also pondering this, and after much thought, he decided that this method was quite good.

The effect of masters fighting together is greater than the sum of its parts. Separating the two masters of Konoha makes it relatively easier to deal with either side.

If the attack on the rear is large enough, then an ordinary Konoha Jonin is indeed not qualified to lead the team.

The consequences of cutting off supply lines and destroying supply depots are too severe and will surely require the intervention of powerful figures.

Uchiha Gen had only recently become the deputy commander and had no practical experience in commanding a thousand-strong ninja force in battle.

War is not child's play. Even if they are master and disciple, Orochimaru would not let him command now. Instead, he would lead his own team to the rear of Konoha.

This is an extremely irresponsible act towards the Konoha frontline ninjas!

Upon realizing this, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon shouted, "Silence!"

The whispering crowd immediately fell silent.

"I think it's feasible. What about you guys?"

Some people directly expressed their agreement, while others said they would follow the commander's orders.

Xiguashan insisted that they make a statement.

If we listen to the commander, wouldn't we avoid taking responsibility later?

That won't do!

Faced with the coercion of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, the ambiguous person had no choice but to express his support.

What else can we do if it's not supported?

They couldn't think of a better solution.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was satisfied.

"Since everyone agrees that it's feasible, then let's use this method."

"We'll discuss and refine the details of the plan together later. Now, let's divide the members into the large and small teams, the vice-captains, and the captains."

"As a commander, I am definitely responsible for leading the main force in combat. There's no question about that; I can't neglect my duties."

In fact, only a very few people would do something like a division commander becoming a commando leader.

"Special Jonin and elite Chunin, just give the orders directly, there's not much to say, it's mainly Jonin."

"There are currently twenty-two Jonin on the front lines."

"Here's what I'm thinking: the main force needs twelve men, and the small force needs ten. That way, we'll have a better chance of taking down Uchiha Gen."

"If the plan goes smoothly, and if we have the resources, we can turn the charade into a real attack on Konoha's supply lines and transit points."

"With the death of the vice commander, Konoha has suffered heavy losses of Jonin, and its logistics have been severely damaged. Konoha's morale is bound to plummet."

"I believe even Orochimaru couldn't turn the tide in such a dire situation..."

"As long as we deliver the final blow to Konoha, we, Kirigakure, will win the war."

"With this victory, Kirigakure can either seize benefits or launch a large-scale war."

"If Konoha's weakness is revealed to the world, a chain reaction will surely occur, and the situation of wolves hunting Konoha during the Fourth Shinobi World War will be repeated."

"I don't believe Konoha can withstand a second siege!"

"Once Konoha is defeated, the Land of Fire can be divided up. If we, Kirigakure, act skillfully, we're sure to get the biggest slice of the pie!"

"After a period of rest and recuperation, Kirigakure will replace Konoha as the greatest ninja village in the ninja world, creating unprecedented glory!"

"You and your families will surely rise to prominence and achieve unprecedented glory!"

"All this beauty may begin with our actions."

"Anyone willing to volunteer to become a team leader, vice-captain, or member?"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's words stirred the blood of many of the high-ranking officials in the misty forest to varying degrees, with the most passionate ones even wanting to get up and throw a punch to vent their frustration.

And then, swish, swish, swish... one arm after another was raised.

A small number of Kirigakure Jonin who still had their senses didn't want to raise their hands, but the atmosphere had already reached this point, and it would be too out of place not to raise their hands, so they had no choice but to raise their hands, but at a rather low height.

"Okay, everyone is doing well."

Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's face lit up with a big smile.

While the future he depicted was enviable, the danger of venturing deep behind enemy lines was undeniable.

If the plan goes wrong, I'm afraid few will be able to come back alive, and it's not impossible that the entire army will be wiped out!

He wouldn't take that risk. Even if Uchiha Gen were hunted down, he would most likely take some of his own people with him before he died.

Who knows who will be the one to take the fall?

The enemy doesn't care about your identity; in fact, the higher your identity, the more likely you are to suffer a severe fate!

"Wan Yue and Tang are the strongest and most experienced here, so let Wan Yue be the captain and Tang be the vice-captain."

"The other eight are you, you, you, you..."

Suigetsu Hozuki pointed with his finger, quickly gathering all ten Jonin.

The Jonin who were called out were all excited; their chance to make a great contribution had arrived!

The Jonin who weren't chosen looked disappointed, or perhaps they were disappointed on the surface but happy inside.

Seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of his barely-friended friend, Juzo Biwa, and his trusted confidant, Kisame Hoshigaki, Suigetsu Hobuki remained speechless.

You're still a bit naive. He's doing this specifically to protect you. Do you think such a great achievement is so easy to obtain?

However, being simple-minded is a good thing; he doesn't like smart people, especially those who are smarter than him.

"Alright, those who weren't selected don't need to be too disappointed. As long as the plan succeeds, there will be plenty of opportunities to make great contributions in the future."

"Now let's discuss the detailed configuration of the squads and the details of the plan."

"Whether you're a member of the team or not, you can speak freely. If it's helpful, it's considered a contribution."

Soon, the tent was filled with enthusiastic and passionate discussions as the plan was gradually refined.

By 6 p.m., the plan was largely finalized and only needed to be slightly adjusted based on the implementation.

This plan, named "Fire Extinguishing Plan," is simple, direct, and easy to understand.

That evening, the plan was secretly put into action, and at the same time, the Fog Shadow Front Camp began its anti-espionage work.

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. The trial implementation of a plan is not something that can be done overnight. In order to avoid revealing any flaws, the higher-ups of Wuyin did not seek speed but rather stability.

For example, in order to conceal the true number of people and their actual combat strength, small units of covert forces carried out elaborate infiltration maneuvers.

Instead of infiltrating from the seas to the north and south of the Land of Whirlpools, they used the Land of Waves and the Land of Tea as transit points to sneak around to the back of the Konoha front-line camp without anyone noticing.

Konoha is currently unaware of Kirigakure's plans, as everything appears normal on the surface and no abnormalities can be detected.

Uchiha Gen couldn't predict the future, so he naturally didn't notice anything unusual and continued living his life with its regular sounds.

Although life was regular, it was not a waste of time; his strength and ability to handle military affairs were steadily improving.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Uchiha Gen finally came up with a way to transfer Raitogi's ability to Musei, but he was not entirely confident.

After lunch today, Uchiha Gen went to his tent to begin his experiments...
