The Great Hero Uchiha

If the logistical supply gap exceeds three months, it will become unbalanced, and unless food is forcibly requisitioned, people will starve to death after three months.

This is the disadvantage of evacuating the people; the daimyo doesn't consider the people when distributing food, and there isn't that much food available.

Taking into account enemy prisoners, the war must be ended within two months!

Do not!

Within a month and a half—

A certain margin must be left.

Otherwise, morale will collapse.

Uchiha Miyuki's ideas did indeed gain recognition and response from many people. However, this recognition and response was only because Konoha's founding principles were similar to these ideas, which allowed Uchiha Miyuki's ideas to resonate emotionally. Now, this recognition and response has not solidified into a firm belief and cannot withstand the test of hunger.

difficult!

difficult!

Too hard!

Fighting a major battle for a month and a half from start to finish is extremely difficult.

Uchiha Miyuki quickly came to a conclusion.

We must stir up the emotions of Kirigakure and not let them proceed steadily!

There were no large ships on the sea, which means that Kirigakure did not bring many supplies and was preparing to carry out a plundering invasion to obtain food supplies from the people. Now that the troops are scattered, they can obtain food from the wild to reduce the pressure on supplies. As long as they are gathered together and cannot be scattered to obtain resources from the wild, the pressure on logistics supplies will be increased.

The only options left for Kirigakure are to seek supplies or to continue plundering resources.

I can find a way to intercept the supplies.

The latter could accelerate the course of the war.

I mentally organized the general outline of normal warfare, while also pondering tactics on how to make the enemy act according to my will.

That evening.

Uchiha Miyuki then led a Jonin unit into action.

The team includes Byakugan members from the Hyuga clan who gather intelligence.

Soon, the team silently made their way to a small local camp. With the Byakugan in the team, the enemy camp was essentially undefended in front of Uchiha Yuuki and his group. All sorts of sentries and patrol routes were exposed to the Byakugan. In terms of reconnaissance capabilities, the Sharingan was several levels inferior to the Byakugan.

"Intelligence confirmed."

"There are three Jonin and twelve Chunin squads in the camp."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded and began forming hand seals.

[Spiritual Communication]

Renya.

Based on information provided by a Jonin from the Hyuga clan, the ninja crows easily took down four Chunin squads on patrol.

After dealing with the outer patrol forces, Uchiha Miyuki and his group ventured deep into the camp.

The seal was unsealed once again.

He used a technique that wasn't quite a ninjutsu; to be precise, it was a combination of barrier and illusion techniques.

This implies that ninjas within the barrier should ignore their own and their teammates' existence. It's perfect for dealing with Chunin, but too costly and not worthwhile for dealing with Jonin, and its influence is limited.

Seeing Uchiha Miyuki openly wearing the Konoha headband and walking into the enemy camp without any disguise, the Konoha ninja around him were a little confused. They thought Uchiha Miyuki was going to launch a strong attack, but the next moment they saw the surrounding Kirigakure Chunin walking past them as if they hadn't noticed anything, as if they were in the Konoha camp.

The group exchanged glances and all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They all knew that Uchiha Miyuki's genjutsu was very strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong!

Several Jonin, led by Uchiha Miyuki, arrived near the main tent of the camp.

"on!"

At Uchiha Miyuki's reminder, the Konoha side reacted first and attacked the main tent!

There was originally a Jonin who wanted to prevent the Chunin from coming to their aid, but he found that the fighting had already started and the Chunin seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening.

It's not that they didn't notice, but they overlooked the commotion under the influence of Uchiha Miyuki's genjutsu.

If the patrol team were still there, they would have noticed the commotion, but... the entire patrol team had already fallen under a deeper illusion.

P.S.: My friend asked me to go out for dinner this afternoon, and I just got home.

Bonus chapter for today.

Depending on the situation, some sessions may be scheduled after midnight.

137. Charge! Leaf-boring borers, suck the blood of your enemies!

An explosion?

It seems there is...

Upon hearing the sounds of battle, the Chunin paused for a moment, then his eyes became dazed.

In principle.

This technique involves projecting the Sharingan's genjutsu into the barrier.

The disadvantages are a relatively small range and a high chakra consumption.

The advantage is that it does not require making eye contact with each person to complete the spell.

This technique can also be called the "Nurarihyon Technique".

The besieged Kirigakure ninjas were a bit confused, completely unable to understand the current situation.

On land, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas lost their advantage at sea, and under the circumstances of a surprise attack, the Hyuga clan's advantage became apparent at this moment. Especially with the help of other Jonin, they used genjutsu and sealing techniques to capture the Jonin. Uchiha Miyuki then transformed into a Hidden Mist Village Jonin, walked around the camp, controlled half of the people with genjutsu, and had the other Jonin control the remaining half with sealing techniques.

"Come here and help this Jonin escort these prisoners back."

Under the influence of genjutsu, the Chunin squad from Kirigakure mistook their comrades for Konoha prisoners they had captured.

The Konoha ninjas aren't going to surrender so easily, are they?

The thought had barely arisen when it was ignored under the influence of the illusion.

Uchiha Miyuki, in his capacity as a Jonin, issued an order to another Chunin squad from Kirigakure.

"We were just ambushed by Konoha. Our supply depot was burned down in the battle, and the wild animals in the vicinity were cleared out by Konoha ninjas. Go to the nearby camp and seek some supplies."

He issued this mission to four Chunin squads at the same time, instructing them to seek material support from four different camps.

Yes. *4

The few Jonin who remained were a bit bewildered. Could they really fight like this?!

Uchiha Miyuki silently began to plan. There were seven small and medium-sized camps of Kirigakure in this area. He could take advantage of the lack of communication between the camps and create an information gap to scheme against all of them. Wait! The scale can't be so small. He should be bolder. After swindling the supplies, he could swindle some Chunin squads and use the Kirigakure's manpower to supply the main force of Konoha.

As long as it doesn't arouse suspicion from other camps, this activity won't be exposed.

After giving instructions to the Chunin of Kirigakure, he addressed the Konoha ninja.

"Go back and organize a team to harass the nearby camps. You don't need to fight them head-on; just create the impression that our people are indeed lurking nearby."

"Yes."

After arranging these things.

An even bolder idea emerged in Uchiha Miyuki's mind.

How much can a small camp embezzle? We must seize control of the entire northern war zone of Kirigakure, capture all the Jonin little by little, capture half of the Chunin, and have the other half help contact other war zones to steal supplies. This will also prevent the situation here from being exposed. In this way, we can use the manpower and resources of Kirigakure to support the people of Konoha and Kuma, and let these invaders experience the taste of being exploited.

correct!

This method can also be used to gradually deplete the military strength of Kirigakure and to influence other war zones through false intelligence.

As long as the plan can be implemented, the food pressure will be resolved. Don't underestimate just one war zone. No matter how much food is consumed, it can be easily covered by adding a sum to the war damage. Moreover, Konoha's food pressure mainly comes from those civilians. By withholding half of the food and supplies from Kirigakure's war zone and squeezing Kirigakure's Chunin manpower, any shortfall can be replenished.

The only problem is that overhunting will make this land impoverished, but even if he doesn't do that, it will still become impoverished after the war, affecting the future livelihoods of the local indigenous people.

It's mainly based on fishing.

The fishing industry was underdeveloped in this era, and even after being exploited by war, it would not cause too much damage to the ecology.

Moreover, the ninjas of Kirigakure are quite skilled in these areas.

With this idea in mind, Uchiha Miyuki began to consider the feasibility of this plan.

Soon, the outline of the plan began to emerge in my mind.

"The Hyuga clan should take action and gather intelligence on the entire northern war zone of Kirigakure as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Under the command of Uchiha Miyuki, the group began to move.

Uchiha Miyuki was refining his plan in his mind.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Miyuki had swindled a large amount of supplies from the surrounding Kirigakure camps, and at the same time, his plans were underway.

Konoha has an absolute intelligence advantage!

Taking advantage of this intelligence advantage, Konoha gained complete knowledge of Kirigakure's northern war zone deployments and located the enemy's northern headquarters. Meanwhile, Kirigakure was completely unaware of the Land of Bears' deployments. This wasn't because Kirigakure was weak, but because the Hyuga clan's Byakugan was simply too powerful in reconnaissance! Furthermore, Uchiha Miyuki had left too many unexplored areas, leaving Kirigakure unaware of the situation and forcing them to proceed cautiously step by step.

As for information on evacuating civilians!?

Uchiha Miyuki had already made the necessary preparations, and he had been carrying out this matter in secret. Unless the other party could penetrate deep into the heart of the Land of Bears to conduct reconnaissance, they would not be able to find any clues.

In addition, the other party deduced this conclusion based on relevant information about Uchiha Miyuki.

It's easy for modern people to analyze these things, but it's very difficult for a ninja to decipher this information.

Especially since he did not make any relevant arrangements in the Land of Grass.

In the current ninja world, who would have thought that someone would put themselves at a disadvantage before even starting a war just for the sake of some poor people? At most, Kirigakure could only deduce from Uchiha Miyuki's ideology that he had evacuated the people. They would never have imagined that Uchiha Miyuki would disperse some of his troops to feed these people, let alone that he had already prepared to mobilize military rations to supply these people in the event of a food crisis.

It's not that Kirigakure is too narrow-minded, it's that human life is too cheap in this era.

Especially the people on the territory of other countries.

If Uchiha Miyuki hadn't said it, no one would have understood that 'everyone should have the right to live like a human being.'

"Begin the operation!"
