The Great Hero Uchiha

Xiao Nan used paper magic to disguise the explosive talisman as a landscape, rather than detonating it underwater.

Actually, I've always doubted whether explosive tags can explode underwater. After all, they need to burn before they can explode, and I remember there was a scene in the original book where water was used to extinguish explosive tags.

To avoid errors, the detonation tags were written so that they could be used underwater after special processing.

This approach would increase costs and might not necessarily achieve deep-water explosions.

This is my idea.

135. Every human being has the right to live like a human being.

The reason why Uchiha Miyuki did not give up was because in the original work, Might Guy's father, Might Dai, killed a large number of Kirigakure's ANBU, and caused four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to die and three to escape. In other words, Kirigakure launched a large-scale invasion war. Although he did not remember the specific time, judging from the situation, now was undoubtedly the best time!

If he were the Mizukage, he would choose this time to send out troops.

We reached land.

That would no longer be Kirigakure's home ground.

Water overcomes fire?

He's not some proper Uchiha, so what does it matter to him, Uchiha Miyuki, if the Uchiha are being suppressed?

Troops were redeployed from the battlefield in the Land of Bears!

This time, Uchiha Miyuki was certain that it was not a scheme by the Konoha leadership, but rather that the three battlefields of the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Waterfalls needed to replenish their forces. The Land of Bears undoubtedly had the most troops, so drawing them from the army was a perfectly normal operation. Only in this way would Kirigakure seize the opportunity to make its move.

If possible, he would prefer to continue paddling.

However, the changing situation is not something he can control.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent for a moment before finally making up his mind to entrust the future of his clan to Miyuki Uchiha. He immediately said, "I've heard about the battle in Iwagakure. Since you don't want to give up, then you should take over command here."

Uchiha Miyuki paused for a moment before agreeing.

"it is good."

Even if Fugaku Uchiha hadn't relinquished command at that moment, he would have found a way to take it over.

"Gather all the ninjas in the camp."

"Yes."

A Konoha Jonin was ordered to gather everyone together.

Uchiha Miyuki approached the crowd and spotted two familiar faces: Might Guy and his son Might Dai. They were undeniably conspicuous. “Whether you’ve seen me before or not, I have something to announce. Due to the shortage of troops on other fronts, the village has transferred a large number of its forces. Kirigakure will likely seize this opportunity to launch a full-scale invasion of the Land of Bears.”

This is not exactly a secret.

Even the most clueless person would understand what was going on if so many people suddenly disappeared from the camp.

"According to intelligence, the Hidden Mist Village army is about to launch a full-scale invasion of the Land of Bears. I need you to gather the people in the coastal areas and have them evacuate to the rear. We need to plan out the war zone and prevent the enemy from setting up the battlefield in the coastal areas."

Uchiha Miyuki didn't say much this time.

His ideas had already taken root in the village through that group of ninjas from the Land of Grass, so there was no need for much explanation.

"Yes!"

The ninjas immediately responded.

This time, his behavior was more mature than when he was in the Land of Grass. He understood what he should do, rather than simply fighting the enemy.

After the mobilization was over, Uchiha Miyuki convened a Jonin meeting.

"In this war, those who surrender will not be killed, those who are unable to resist will not be killed, and the enemy and our own people are..." Uchiha Miyuki paused here, "...and we will save the wounded enemy if possible, regardless of whether they are enemies or not, what they have done or what their identity is. Everyone has the right to live like a human being."

One of the Jonin hesitated for a moment before speaking up in rebuttal.

"Won't this...couldn't we be raising a tiger that will eventually turn on us?"

With this Jonin taking the lead, the others also began to chime in with their own opinions.

"Only by killing the enemy can we avoid further casualties, right?"

"Our forces are already being diverted to caring for civilians, and now that we're detaining these people, won't even more forces be diverted?"

Uchiha Miyuki understood these principles. Initially, he also fell into the trap of not being merciful to his enemies. It wasn't until the war in the Land of Grass ended that he realized, "Whether they are enemies or civilians, everyone is human, just like us. There is no distinction between noble and lowly, between superior and inferior, between friend and foe. As long as you are human, you should have the right to live like a human being."

The Jonin exchanged glances. They had only a vague understanding of Uchiha Miyuki's philosophy before, but now they finally understood what kind of philosophy Uchiha Miyuki truly held.

The phrase, "Everyone has the right to live like a human being," deepened their understanding of Uchiha Miyuki's philosophy.

Regardless of whether one agrees with or disagrees with the orders given by Uchiha Miyuki as the battlefield commander, as a ninja, one must carry them out.

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Chief, your task is to settle these people. Remember to keep this a secret, as it will affect the future course of the war. I don't want them to die not from the enemy's blade, but from our negligence."

Will evacuating so many people lead to food and logistical problems?

He already had a vague plan in mind.

Besides having the genin obtain resources from nature to solve the problem, he also had another idea, though it wasn't quite perfect yet. This was also a necessary strategy: keeping these people in their original areas. The early stages of the war would inevitably revolve around this, thus reducing the flexibility of the battlefield. Furthermore, these people would reduce the logistical pressure on Kirigakure, dragging them into an endless war of attrition. With their current forces, once the war entered that situation, they would definitely be gradually devoured by Kirigakure.

The order to evacuate the people in advance was not only to protect them, but also a necessary strategic arrangement.

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback. Since he had already decided to let Miyuki Uchiha take over, he naturally couldn't go against the idea now.

Moreover, he had been keeping a close eye on Uchiha Miyuki, so he was well aware of the strategies Uchiha Miyuki displayed on the battlefield in the Land of Grass. He must have had a detailed plan and his own considerations before making such an arrangement.

"it is good!"

Uchiha Miyuki then said to another Uchiha Jonin, "Gather some clansmen and set up a camp near the battlefield. This camp will be used to hold enemy prisoners, including Jonin. Be prepared accordingly. Report any problems to me. Remember! Do not mistreat them! Treat them according to normal standards."

The Jonin Uchiha glanced at Fugaku Uchiha, and seeing that the other had tacitly approved of Miyuki Uchiha's command, he nodded and accepted the order.

"Yes."

At that moment, a Konoha Jonin suddenly spoke up.

"I'm skilled in Earth Release and also quite knowledgeable about barriers, so I'll help with this as well."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"You two will be in charge of the camp. The rest of you can do whatever you want! I won't force you to accept my ideas or restrict your behavior. I will just give you instructions based on the situation."

The other ninjas nodded.

"Yes."

P.S.: Which chapter is this?

sixth?

seventh?

I'm a little confused. It's already past midnight. This should be the last one, right?

Ok.

Good night--

136. It's like two different worlds.

The mobilization for the war in the Bear Country is proceeding rapidly.

Uchiha Miyuki's idea was good, but the military was already under great pressure. Now, with the evacuation of civilians and the establishment of prisoner-of-war camps, the military seemed to be operating at an overload.

Uchiha Miyuki had a corresponding plan for this. The invasion of Kirigakure was not about occupying any territory. The Land of Bears was too close to Konoha, and occupying it would be a losing proposition. Instead, it was about plundering resources, mainly hides and ores! In addition, the battle with Kirigakure was at a disadvantage in the coastal areas. He left a large part of the uninhabited and resource-free areas empty and built a new defensive line, which actually reduced the pressure on his troops.

Late at night a week later.

Just as Uchiha Miyuki had predicted, the Hidden Mist Village forces began their full-scale invasion.

Looking at the markings on the map, the invading Hidden Mist Village was a little confused.

"Isn't there a village here?"

"Judging from the dust, they must have been evacuated some time ago."

"And what about the Konoha ninja and Kuma ninja who are stationed there?"

This wasn't just happening in this unit; similar situations occurred in other places as well.

The population is not within the scope of Kirigakure's plundering. The Land of Water has only so much arable land; there are no other jobs available to provide more people, and plundering would only deprive its own people of their livelihood. The only reason to plunder is by targeting beautiful women. Their purpose in coming to these villages is to force them to hunt and gather herbs in the Three Forests, and to plunder the money and food from the common people.

Doing this kind of business requires very little capital.

As for hunting and gathering herbs? You can do that in your own country, why come to the Bear Country!?

What is the essence of plunder?

Low cost, high return.

Hunting and processing herbs yourself is too costly.

Intelligence from all sides was gradually relayed to the commander-in-chief of Kirigakure.

He lowered his head and pondered a name.

"The Red Ghost of Konoha? I'm not that idiot Third Tsuchikage."

Uchiha Miyuki was not very active on the battlefield in the Land of Bears, but his achievements had already reached the hands of various countries within a year.

"Let's gather intelligence and see what this 'Red Ghost of Konoha' is up to!"

"Yes."

While gathering information in Kirigakure, Uchiha Miyuki also learned some of Kirigakure's movements from intelligence reports.

"Set up a solid defense and wait for them to penetrate deeper."

The current location of the Hidden Mist Village forces is still too close to the ocean. Even a slight provocation could cause the war to escalate into a naval battle, which would be a huge disadvantage for the Konoha ninjas. Moreover, the main force of their forces consists of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, one specializing in Fire Release and the other in Taijutsu. Only by moving the battle away from the sea can this war continue!

This is one of the reasons for evacuating civilians and clearing the battlefield.

However, the war cannot be dragged on for too long.

The number of people to be evacuated is too large. They can be kept alive for a while by relying on ninjas to hunt wild animals, dig for wild vegetables, and fish. If this goes on for too long, the resources will be exhausted and the people will run out of food.

Three months!

Land resources can sustain us for two months, and by allocating military rations and sharing the burden with everyone, we can barely sustain us for another month.
