The Great Hero Uchiha

"What mission?"

"Before the war ends, the three of you will spend your time in prison on charges of betraying the village's interests. This will serve as a prelude to the plan, and you will be monitored by both the Uchiha clan and the Anbu throughout the process to mislead the enemy's judgment."

Uchiha Miyuki actually wanted to use the mission as an excuse to turn the three of them into corpses to pave the way for his plan, but that would be tantamount to bringing the struggle into the open.

If he were the Hokage, he could control the situation; but being merely a war commander-in-chief is clearly insufficient.

And would Danzo really sacrifice himself for the village?

Yes and no, but Danzo would never die at a time like this. He would live no matter what. It could be out of cowardice, not wanting to die, or it could be for the benefit of the village. The Uchiha were rising, and Uchiha Miyuki was still alive, which was too dangerous for the stability of the village. He had to live to stop the Uchiha from taking control of the village.

Uchiha Miyuki couldn't see through Danzo's thoughts, and Danzo probably couldn't either.

[A ninja should sacrifice himself] He had told too many lies, and he could no longer tell whether he was still a coward.

Danzo simply asked calmly.

"I need to know the specific plan."

Uchiha Miyuki simply said, "You have no right to know the plan right now. You only need to follow orders and execute them!"

Danzo has now officially lost all his high-ranking positions and is just an ordinary ninja.

Uchiha Miyuki is the commander-in-chief of one side, and is about to become the commander-in-chief of the war.

Danzo remained silent, only glancing at Minato Namikaze.

Uchiha Miyuki didn't bring the village's internal political struggles into the open. Even if there were personal motives involved, this order was merely to put the three of them under surveillance in prison before the war ended, with ANBU members also monitoring them. There was no reason for Namikaze Minato to care too much about such things, and what if this really was part of the plan?

"Danzo, follow orders and complete the mission."

The Hokage had already given the order, so how could Danzo possibly refuse?

"Yes."

As for Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado? It was already incredibly lucky that they survived when the Uchiha clan had the upper hand.

The Uchiha and Anbu factions sent the three to prison.

"Have the Anbu and the Uchiha clan monitor these people together. I suspect they are spies from Iwagakure who helped Iwagakure infiltrate the mainland."

The list doesn't contain many people; they are all individuals within the Thousand Hands faction who have access to high-level secrets.

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, but he would make concessions as long as Miyuki Uchiha didn't kill people indiscriminately.

"it is good."

“Take a look at this information and don’t reveal it to anyone else, not even the village’s higher-ups. The village needs manpower right now, and no one can avoid having everyone go to the battlefield. If they die unexpectedly on the battlefield and the information is leaked…” Uchiha Miyuki said meaningfully, “Just like last time, many village ninjas will die because of it.”

"it is good."

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Minato Namikaze frowned deeply.

"There's too little content."

"The situation is constantly changing, and I have to adjust my plans accordingly. If you want to know, I can tell you, but that will take a lot of time, and the situation might change before I even finish speaking."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment but then nodded. If he didn't trust Miyuki Uchiha at all, he wouldn't have let Miyuki Uchiha take charge of the overall situation.

Just like Hiruzen Sarutobi and others.

They would rather have many people sacrifice themselves than allow the Uchiha clan to rise to power.

If the situation hadn't reached such a critical juncture, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would probably still be plotting how to suppress Miyuki Uchiha's prestige.

"Unless absolutely necessary, the Third Hokage must not be informed."

After saying that, Uchiha Miyuki glanced outside the village. Hashirama's cells were hidden somewhere. The timing was indeed very good, but he didn't know the exact location. Searching bit by bit would be too time-consuming and laborious. The clan members were not strong enough to hide them well, and they couldn't be sure that Hashirama's cells were definitely stored in the Root base.

"it is good."

"The key to the battle now lies in the Bear Country. Send me back, and contact us through the village for any further actions."

"it is good."

We passed through Mount Myoboku again, looking at the giant stone toads in the distance.

"Why are there so many stone statues carved on Mount Myoboku?"

"That's not a stone statue."

He only gave a brief explanation and didn't elaborate further, clearly not wanting Uchiha Miyuki to know anything about Sage Mode.

Upon returning to the Land of Grass, detailed battle reports from all sides were relayed to Uchiha Miyuki via the village's communication lines. Only then did Uchiha Miyuki gain a detailed understanding of the entire battle situation. Iwagakure had broken through the outermost edge and penetrated deep into the second line of defense in the mainland. At this rate, they would be able to reach the entrance of Konoha in another three months.

Both Sunagakure and Kumogakure have begun their attacks on Konoha's home borders!

At most, we can hold on for another month.

Of course, this is just a general calculation. The real conclusion requires consideration of too many variables, but he doesn't need to be too clear about it. A general understanding is enough.

"The third generation head is truly still going strong for his age—"

A battle report caught Uchiha Miyuki's attention.

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually fought the Third Tsuchikage to a standstill, slowing down the advance of Iwagakure, which greatly surprised Miyuki Uchiha.

However, he still didn't have a high opinion of Hiruzen Sarutobi. He could hold on now, but he might not be able to hold on for long. After all, he was relying on tactics and ninjas to entangle with the Third Tsuchikage. This kind of fighting style consumes too much energy and stamina. Young ninjas can recover quickly, but at Hiruzen Sarutobi's age, he would definitely not be able to last too long.

As for the Third Tsuchikage?

They are the same age, but the opponent only needs to fly in the air and throw ninjutsu. If he seizes an opportunity, he can make a big move and escape. If he misses, he can slowly wear down Hiruzen Sarutobi's energy.

Konoha has barely managed to maintain the situation.

However, including the battlefield in the Land of Bears, if any one of the four sides collapses, it will trigger a chain reaction.

Hiruzen Sarutobi will likely become the third Third Kage to fall in the Third Shinobi World War!

P.S.: Requesting monthly votes.

156. I, Uchiha Miyuki, am willing to build you into the Land of Fish!!

Besides the main battlefield, the higher-ups also prepared other underhanded tactics to provoke border disputes among the three kingdoms, but with little success.

Iwagakure had already made preparations.

The borders of the three kingdoms were all confined within their respective territories, with smaller kingdoms serving as buffer zones.

This is why Uchiha Miyuki did not adopt this plan.

[Abandoning the border dispute plan and redeploying these special forces to the main war effort, I have other strategies.]

After relaying this information to the command center, Uchiha Miyuki continued his research on sealing techniques. Unexpectedly, he found a sealing technique in Kirigakure that possessed a similar sealing technique to the one he had thought of. It has to be said that fate was truly ingenious, which greatly accelerated the development progress of the [Illusion Talisman].

As expected, Kirigakure is my greatest asset!

Three days later, Fugaku Uchiha handed a report to Miyuki Uchiha, which was a detailed plan for Kirigakure's seafood products to enter the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"Okay, let's do it this way."

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha spoke up, saying, "We can still handle the current production, but if we proceed according to your plan, the production will be too much, and the country may not be able to absorb it all."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"I understand, proceed according to plan."

Uchiha Miyuki had already anticipated what Fugaku Uchiha was saying.

The Land of Fire can't handle it all, but aren't there the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village nearby, both lacking food? The further inland these two countries are, the higher the price of seafood becomes. With Ice Release ninjas providing enough ice, what region can't be reached? As long as the Hidden Mist Village's higher-ups see the enormous profits involved, his identity will allow him to wield even more influence.

At that time, we can secretly transform the Land of Water into the Land of Fish, thereby violently destroying the internal market cycle of the Land of Water with water products, leaving the Land of Water with only the water industry and the sea salt industry.

At that time, the Water Kingdom will have to rely on other countries for everything from food and clothing to shelter and transportation.

In the long term, the Land of Fire has the richest resources and will inevitably become the largest market for the Land of Water. As long as the plan can be completed, it can be used to counterbalance the Land of Water, improve the lives of its people, control the prices of other foods, and at the same time promote domestic production capacity, create more jobs to support more people, and become more prosperous.

In the near term, they can also use this windfall profit outside of war to continue to control the situation in the Bear Country!

Moreover, he acted as a middleman in the process.

Whatever the price difference is, isn't it all up to him to decide?

Fugaku Uchiha was still somewhat worried.

"But domestic resources can't last too long, can they?"

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head: "We can upgrade industries through knowledge and reduce the dependence of our people on natural resources. Only in this way can we make our country prosperous and strong."

Fugaku Uchiha was a little confused. Even though Miyuki Uchiha had explained it so clearly, he still couldn't understand the meaning.

It's not that I'm not smart enough.

His vision was still limited to the current situation, while Uchiha Miyuki's vision was far too far ahead.

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

"In short, I have a plan and arrangements. You just need to follow the plan."

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask a question.

"What should we do with those prisoners of war? Do they know some of the inside stories? Keeping them around is a potential problem."

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha was extremely grateful that Miyuki Uchiha was born into the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, given Miyuki's intelligence, Fugaku strongly suspected that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out by Miyuki's schemes, and he probably wouldn't even know how they were destroyed, just like the other four countries are now.

Not only now, but even the future is being manipulated by Uchiha Miyuki!

Uchiha Miyuki's only flaw was that he valued human life too much.

If Uchiha Miyuki had no plan, he would be willing to be a butcher and secretly kill all these prisoners of war to eliminate any potential threat to Uchiha Miyuki.

“I have a solution, and those prisoners of war are part of my plan.”

In addition to illusion talismans, Uchiha Miyuki had prepared another contingency plan.

Fugaku Uchiha paused for a moment before replying.

"it is good."

Although Fugaku Uchiha knew the most, the complete plan was still in Miyuki Uchiha's mind. The others only knew some fragments, and even if they pieced them together, it would be difficult to see through his complete plan.

Uchiha Miyuki called over the three representatives, not wanting them to be idle.

"We're running low on supplies. Could you provide some more?"
