The Great Hero Uchiha

The war has finally broken out. Although both sides have their victories and defeats, they have at least escaped the quagmire of the enemy's initial tricks.

……

After Uchiha Miyuki released a large firework using ninjutsu and returned to the camp, three Jonin with solemn expressions came to find him one after another.

"You go first."

"The village needs support."

"Which side should we support? We need support on the entire front."

Uchiha Miyuki frowned.

How many people are needed?

"The more the better!"

Uchiha Miyuki didn't speak, but looked at the next person.

What's wrong on your end?

"The prisoners of war from Kirigakure Village took advantage of the insufficient number of guards to plan a riot, which has now been successfully suppressed, but during the headcount, it was discovered that one prisoner of war was missing."

"Who?"

"It's that Chunin Mei Terumi you specifically instructed me to find last time. A search team has already been dispatched."

"We absolutely cannot let her escape. Those prisoners of war must have confirmed the intelligence with each other and already have a grasp of the true situation on the battlefield in the Bear Country."

"Yes."

Uchiha Miyuki frowned even more as he looked at the last ninja, a member of the Uchiha clan.

"What problem have you encountered on your end this time?"

The Uchiha Jonin glanced at the two ninjas beside him but did not speak.

Uchiha Miyuki then understood.

He turned to look at the first ninja.

"Tell the village that we don't have enough troops here either, and we can't allocate any more."

"Yes."

Uchiha Miyuki's refusal to send reinforcements wasn't because he was targeting Konoha's higher-ups, but rather to guard against Kirigakure's true killing move: the Fourth Mizukage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and other powerful Kirigakure members who hadn't yet joined the battle! Kirigakure is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, on par with Konoha; how could they only have this many powerful members?

Ultimately, these forces are currently only engaged in the initial offensive! And most of their high-end combat power is tied up by the Three-Tailed Fox, which has revived at sea.

Why did Konoha back down in the original story?

The reason is that others can't attack Kirigakure, while Kirigakure can concentrate its forces to attack other ninja villages! Unlike other ninja villages, they don't need to deploy a large number of troops on the border to defend against sneak attacks from other ninja villages.

If the Fourth Mizukage hadn't been so clever as to seal the Tailed Beasts within himself at the end, he wouldn't have been controlled by Obito Uchiha using the Mangekyou Sharingan's secret technique to control the Tailed Beasts, creating the darkest moment for Kirigakure, killing countless members of the Blood Clans, forcing many promising Kirigakure ninja to defect, and plunging Kirigakure into endless internal strife during the later stages of the Third Shinobi World War.

Given Konoha's current situation, they're already struggling to defeat the Iwa ninja who have a significant force tied down, so how could they possibly withstand Kirigakure's concentrated offensive?

P.S.: I almost got confused by the comments, thinking it was Madara Uchiha controlling the Fourth Mizukage. Luckily, to verify if I had remembered it wrong, I checked the information, and sure enough—

The reader has made a mistake.

After Rin's death, the Fourth Mizukage became the new Jinchūriki, and was thus controlled by Obito Uchiha.

Wait, which chapter is this?

A little bit shy.

145. Otherwise... what do you think?

After everyone had left, Uchiha Miyuki spoke to the Uchiha Jonin.

"Now you can tell me—"

The Uchiha Jonin nodded.

"Just now, the villagers sent word that they are spreading rumors that you failed to resolve the war in the Grass Country, which led to the Grass Country's great defeat."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded calmly, showing no anger.

Even without the Hatake Sakumo incident, one could imagine that the Konoha leadership would definitely use this kind of public opinion offensive if they wanted to suppress his prestige.

They were even more rational than I had imagined.

He thought the higher-ups would also bring up the issue of the land of rivers.

"How is the Land of Grass doing now?"

"A crushing defeat! More than 50 percent of our territory has fallen to Iwagakure and is under their control. We have suffered heavy losses, and this defeat will continue at the current rate."

Uchiha Miyuki sighed silently, as he was simply too busy to be in two places at once.

Where is Minato Namikaze?

"They are still fighting against the new generation of the A and B combination in the Land of Lightning war zone. At present, it seems that Konoha has the advantage."

Uchiha Miyuki fell silent again; the current situation gave him a premonition.

The battle of Kaminagawa Bridge is about to begin.

Although Kakashi had been warned in advance, he still didn't think they could escape from Madara Uchiha's scheme.

Go and change these things!?

It would take at least four months to reach the Land of Grass, and then they would have to protect the three of them at all times, which was simply unrealistic.

As for why Madara Uchiha didn't look for him?

He was actually quite confused. Aside from his taijutsu, he was excellent in every other aspect! He even had the Mangekyou Sharingan. By all accounts, he was superior to Obito Uchiha! Why wasn't he chosen? Luckily, he had already planned everything. After inheriting Madara Uchiha's legacy, he would use the Heavenly God to release the [Imprisonment Curse] and kick Black Zetsu away—

wrong!

He was using Black Zetsu to gather intelligence and also to figure out how to seal it away.

Despite all the scheming and plotting, nothing has happened.

After a moment's hesitation, Uchiha Miyuki suppressed his lingering resentment.

Then, considering that Danzo was probably disguised as an Iwa ninja in the Land of Rain during this period, trying to drag the Land of Rain into war, he unexpectedly discovered the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain, as well as the information that the Akatsuki organization wanted to form an alliance with Amegakure. The Land of Rain already had a great threat from Hanzo, and if the Akatsuki organization were added, it would cause the situation in the Land of Rain to change.

Danzo then changed his mind and framed the Akatsuki, further deepening Nagato's hatred for Konoha.

Recalling these plot points, I couldn't help but sigh.

And who knows how badly the seeds of fire that have just been spread in the Land of Grass will be destroyed...

I simply can't be in two places at once!

I feel like I'm surrounded by incompetent teammates.

After a moment of silence, he finally pulled his thoughts away from the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.

He continued to ask.

"What about the land of rivers?"

"Lord Orochimaru achieved a great victory at Kikyo Mountain, killing a large number of Sand Ninja. The situation has now temporarily stabilized."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded, finally hearing some good news.

Orochimaru is still the most reliable!

Attention was once again focused on the war in the Land of Bears. If Kirigakure had to be wary of other villages like the other three great ninja villages, given the current situation, Uchiha Miyuki could declare the war over at any time. The remaining gaps in the plan would be filled by forcing Kirigakure to pay money to ransom the prisoners of war.

however……

The geopolitical advantages of Wuyin Village are too great. It is far from the land and surrounded by the sea, making it both offensive and defensive. Its only drawback is that it is too small and has too few resources.

As for Mei Terumi!?

Do you really think the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is just for show? It allowed a mere Chunin to escape.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Mei Terumi was captured and brought back.

Just in case, Uchiha Miyuki still spoke to his subordinate who was reporting.

"Bring the person here to see me."

"Yes."

Mei was brought over very quickly.

Without saying anything to Mei Terumi, Uchiha Miyuki activated his Sharingan and used genjutsu to control her.

"Did you leave any coded messages along the way? Did you leak any information?"

Mei Terumi replied, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I was arrested before I could even implement my plan."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded. "Alright, lock him up. Continue with the previous procedures."

"Yes."

After reviewing the current and future situation in his mind, Uchiha Miyuki continued to develop his genjutsu abilities and his water-style techniques. With the resources of Kirigakure in water-style techniques, how could he not make use of them? Moreover, this was a coastal area. Although it would be difficult to surpass Kirigakure ninjas in the short term, they could still be used as auxiliary combat forces.

Now that he has a sufficient amount of chakra and a certain amount of Yang Release power, he began to try using Shadow Clone Technique to accelerate his training.

Simultaneously creating ten clones for cultivation, exceeding this number will affect one's condition on the current day and the following day.

The reason he didn't do this before wasn't because he lacked mental strength, but because he had less chakra and less proficiency with the Shadow Clone Technique. He only started using this method slowly over the past six months, which is the fundamental reason why he was able to quickly master various water-style transformations within that timeframe.

He practiced until late at night before returning to his tent and lying down in his sleeping bag.

This situation continued for the next two months.

Try to kill or capture some Kirigakure ninjas to prepare for the upcoming battle, and use the Shadow Clone Technique to accelerate your training.

Until the Battle of Kannabi Bridge ended, Minato Namikaze single-handedly suppressed the army of Iwagakure, rescued the trapped Konoha ninja, successfully destroyed Kannabi Bridge, and cut off Iwagakure's supply route. Minato Namikaze became famous in one battle, but the situation in the Land of Grass was not completely changed and it was still at a disadvantage. However, with Minato Namikaze's strength, as long as he continued to fight, the battle would soon be reversed!

At this time, the Third Hokage took the initiative to seek peace with Iwagakure—

Looking at the battle report sent by his clansmen, Uchiha Miyuki realized that the Konoha leadership was getting anxious—or rather, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was getting anxious and didn't want to drag things out any longer.

They want to use the current situation to make Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage!

Only now does Minato Namikaze have a chance to become Hokage. Otherwise, if it were delayed until Miyuki Uchiha quelled the war in the Land of Kuma and the details of that battle were revealed, even though Miyuki Uchiha was still young, only about fourteen years old, his prestige accumulated in just a few battles would be enough to make him Hokage! Even if Minato Namikaze rewrote the war in the Land of Grass by himself, it wouldn't be enough.
