Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

Uchiha Owl's expression was gloomy. What a bunch of rats! Tsunade took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand."

Then he asked someone to take the scouts down to rest. Uchiha Xiao took a breath and knelt on the ground. "Please punish me, Lady Tsunade. I made a mistake in command."

Long Yi and Long Er looked at each other, opened their mouths and were about to say something, but were stopped by a middle-aged member of the Senju clan. Now everyone knew that it was not Uchiha Xiao's fault, but they just couldn't say it.

Tsunade walked up to Uchiha Owl and helped him up. "I, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, know exactly how powerful Owl-sama's strategy is."

"Lord Xiao allowed us to nearly break through Yu Ji and restrict the movement of Hanzo Salamander using only the vanguard. This is a plan that no one can match."

"Our goal was to intimidate the Rain Country and make Konoha famous. We have already achieved this. Not even the sensei could have planned something like this."

"So, Mr. Owl, don't blame yourself. Everyone knows how strong your strategy and ability are. Raise your head. What we need to do now is to meet up with Jiraiya and Orochimaru and think about how to fight next." After Tsunade finished speaking, she smiled at Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao slowly stood up. He had underestimated the heroes of the world. He forgot that people should leave three points for themselves as a way out. He only thought about breaking the rain and ending the war, but he did not consider that the goal of the other two countries was not only to end the war, but also to weaken them.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!" Uchiha Owl bowed, then stood aside with his eyes closed, thinking about countermeasures.

Soon, Jiraiya returned with 300 ninjas, and Orochimaru returned with 500 ninjas. After the two reunited, they immediately asked where the commander was.

Uchiha Xiao sighed, probably just here to blame him.

After he opened his eyes, he walked towards the two of them, but Jiraiya and Orochimaru knelt down in seconds.

Uchiha Owl: ?????

"What are you two doing?" Uchiha Xiao was confused. Shouldn't they be blaming him? He quickly helped the two of them up.

"Orochimaru/Jiraiya, you are not leading the troops well. When you were about to capture Yu Ji, you became too proud of yourself and forgot to guard against ninjas from other countries. Commander, please punish you!" The two men's voices were so loud and powerful that even Uchiha Xiao couldn't help but be moved.

Indeed, in a normal war, the commander only needs to give the general direction, and the rest of the execution should be the problem of the leader. It’s just that Uchiha Xiao is too responsible, so he takes everything on himself.

Uchiha Xiao was stunned and quickly helped the two of them up. "What are you talking about, my lords? It was obviously my lack of consideration that led to this situation."

Orochimaru shook his head. "Command is your problem. Leading the troops is our problem. As a general, we should be prepared for various situations instead of blaming the commander. So this is our problem."

Jiraiya nodded and said, "That's right, Commander. Just now, our troops saw that the city gates were about to open, but they forgot to defend the rear, which led to the defeat. So please don't blame yourself, continue to command, and seek the greatest benefit for us!"

Uchiha Xiao's eyes flickered. Yes, the Konoha now is united. They will not blame each other, but will only look for their own shortcomings. This is the Konoha he likes!

Tsunade smiled and walked over to stand with the two men, "Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible to seek the greatest benefit for us!"

Uchiha Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes flashed and he smiled, "I will."

Chapter 22: Three Families Confronted

Uchiha Xiao helped the three of them up, then said thoughtfully, "Our current strength is about 1,600 men. Onoki of the North Gate leads 1,000 men, and Chiyo of the South Gate leads 500 men."

"With our current strength, we are unable to cope with this situation. Ohnoki and Chiyo are both powerful Kage-level warriors. We will be at a disadvantage against either of them."

"Tsunade-sama, Orochimaru-sama, and Jiraiya-sama can deal with a Kage-level warrior with their combined strength, but the remaining two Kage-level warriors are not fools. They will attack us when they see us getting anxious."

Uchiha Owl analyzed the current situation, and the three of them nodded in agreement. Tsunade and the others were now close in strength to that of a Kage, but they were still planned to be Jonin.

The middle-aged Chiyo and the young Ohnoki felt that the three ninjas would lose if they faced each other. He also said good things, saying that the three of them could deal with a Kage-level ninja. What he meant by dealing with it was not to win but to harass him.

"Therefore, the key to this war lies in the South Gate." Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up, and the three nodded.

"So you mean to attack the South Gate?" Jiraiya couldn't help but ask. He was now extremely angry with old woman Chiyo. He was about to capture Yu Ji, but she made a surprise attack. It was all over, and Yu Ji saw hope again!

Orochimaru laughed heartily, thinking that his good friend deserved to lose. Tsunade did not participate in the evaluation and pretended to be deep, because this way she would not appear stupid.

Uchiha Xiao shook his head. "If you were Hanzo, would you lead your troops to fight Chiyo with 500 men, Ohnoki with 1000 men, or us with 1600 men?"

"Of course it's Chiyo!" Jiraiya answered without thinking. He still had some common sense.

"This is not only because of strength, but also because we are now in opposition to the Rock Ninja. No one dares to act rashly, so Hanzo will attack the South Gate." Uchiha Xiao said

"But how do we deal with the Iwagakure? If we confront them, we will suffer heavy losses!" Tsunade asked. Orochimaru was also looking at Uchiha Owl at this moment, wanting to hear his solution.

Uchiha Xiao stretched and smiled, "Drive the tiger to devour the wolf."

"Driving a tiger to devour a wolf?" Tsunade was slightly stunned, while Orochimaru's eyes lit up, as if he understood something. He said, "Could it be that the Owl Lord is talking about the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Uchiha Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Hidden Cloud Village. Now that the Tsuchikage has appeared in the Land of Rain, it means that there is no strong man in the Rock Village at the moment."

"Based on the character of the Third Raikage Ai, he would not remain indifferent if he knew the news!" Uchiha Xiao laughed.

I don't know if the Cloud Village and the Iwagakure Village are just incompatible, but they always fight each other every time they fight. So once they know that there is no Kage in Iwagakure Village, given their bandit nature, they will definitely raid Iwagakure. Then...

Orochimaru also laughed, "What a great move! The commander is indeed a man of unparalleled strategy. I admire him." He was already thinking that after this war, he must interact more with Uchiha Xiao.

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other, as if to say, are we the only ones who didn't understand?

However, Tsunade quickly turned her gaze back to Uchiha Owl. This man seemed very charming when he was giving advice!

Uchiha Xiao didn't notice this, but looked at Jiraiya, "Master Jiraiya, your intelligence system should be very strong!"

According to the original work, Jiraiya is Konoha's source of information outside the village, and he can know many things that happen immediately.

Jiraiya nodded. "I do have a lot of subordinates collecting materials everywhere. If you say it's an intelligence system, then it's correct."

In his view, these people were like-minded friends who helped him collect materials. He never thought about collecting and transmitting intelligence.

Uchiha Xiao laughed and said, "If I let you mobilize your people, how long will it take for the information to reach Kumogakure?"

"Half a day at most!" Jiraiya patted his chest. He was still very confident about his friends.

"Okay, Lord Jiraiya, please pass on the message immediately. Just write that the Tsuchikage Ōnoki has appeared in the Land of Rain. Don't write anything else." Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Jiraiya immediately went to take care of this matter.

Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly. As long as this matter succeeded, he would definitely take down Yu Ji!

Orochimaru also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Commander, for capturing Yu Ji!"

"Congratulations to Lady Tsunade. This was all her idea. I'm just a confidant." Uchiha Xiao shook his head.

Orochimaru was stunned, then thought of his name, and finally sighed. Those old guys were still too afraid of Uchiha.

Tsunade frowned, but she also knew the reason. In the end, the pre-war meeting ended in silence among the three of them, and then everyone went about their own business.

The next day, Cloud Village.

Ai held a kunai, his eyes flashed, and he laughed heartily. He then summoned the higher-ups and decided to "select 3,000 soldiers and send them to Iwagakure!"

Rain Country Battlefield

Nanmen Chiyo and Hanzo have already exchanged blows, with one performing puppetry, while Chikamatsu Juurei's relentless attacks and impenetrable defense are on full display.

Hanzo of the Salamander roared, slapped the ground with his right hand, and the Salamander summoned a spirit beast that was summoned. It took off thirty or forty Sand Ninjas in one gulp and rushed towards Chiyo. Then he released purple poisonous gas that filled the battlefield!

Chiyo shouted, "Everyone take the detoxification pills!" Chiyo, the poison master of Sand Village, has a deep research on poisons, so her detoxification pills can temporarily make people immune to the toxins of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Hanzo of the Salamander drew out two samurai swords and rushed towards Chiyo. Chikamatsu Juurei was quickly controlled by Chiyo to stop Hanzo of the Salamander, and the two fought hard for a while.

The east gate and the north gate remained motionless, and both sides were watching each other's movements. At this moment, Konoha's scouts observed someone heading straight for Ohnoki's camp from the north direction of Iwagakure Village.

After telling the news to Uchiha Owl, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others, Uchiha Owl raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's explore again!"

I thought to myself, "The Hidden Cloud Village is quite fast! It seems Ai is an open-minded person!"

North Gate, Onoki Barracks

Onoki was so angry that he was shaking all over, cursing, "Those bastards, those stinking soldiers, blamed me for this big thing, damn them!"

Akadochi, Ōnoki's guard, stepped forward and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Ohnoki said with a gloomy expression, "What should we do? Humph, of course we should return to defend immediately. I heard that the Third Raikage can fight against the tailed beasts. Now that no country has deployed its Jinchūriki, his strength is equivalent to an invincible existence."

"If I don't go back, the Iwagakure Village will suffer heavy losses. Damn it, how come the news spread so fast? Is it Konoha or the Rain Ninja..." Ohnoki shook his head. Now is not the time to think about these things.

"Pass on my military order, the rear army will be transformed into the front army, and return to defend at full speed!" Ohnoki gave the order, and then used the light and heavy rock, stood on the rock, and rushed back to the village as fast as possible.

During this time, he looked back at Yu Ji reluctantly and sighed.

Chapter 23 Chikamatsu Juurei vs. Kusagima Two-Stage Strike

South gate

Chiyo is now a middle-aged woman with cold eyes. At the moment, the Sand Village is in financial crisis and is in deficit. This time, Hanzo's declaration of war has successfully diverted their internal conflicts.

In order to repay the kindness of Rain Village, I will work harder and repel all of you scum!

Thinking of this, Chiyo stretched out her hands, and ten chakra lines shot out from her ten fingers, then landed on Chikamatsu Juurei.

Then he raised his hands and moved his fingers slightly, and all the Ten Kinmatsu Guards moved, as agile as real people, rushing towards the rushing Salamander Hanzo.

Hanzo of the Salamander roared, turned around and passed the first of the Ten Guards of Chikamatsu, then raised his right hand and chopped it down, whoosh!

With a turn of the long sword, the second Chikamatsu Juninwei was knocked down. Just as he drew his sword, the third Chikamatsu Juninwei raised the spike in his hand and pushed towards Hanzo of the Salamander.

Just when he was about to fight back, the knocked-down Ten-Man Guard grabbed the long sword in his right hand tightly. Hanzo's face changed, and his right hand loosened. With the force of drawing the sword, he stepped back and avoided the attack of the third man.

Then he turned around and chopped off the third man's head. Before he could rest, the first of the ten guards threw a poisoned thousand-blade spear at him!

Hanzo used all his instincts to perform the Substitution Technique. A thud, a thud, a thud, a thud. The original location of Hanzo was transformed into a wooden stake, and then the poisonous thousand-bones struck the stake.

The poison was very strong. In a blink of an eye, the stand-in stake turned from brown to purple-black. Hanzo of the Salamander looked cold and said, "You old woman, you are so cruel!"

Old woman? Chiyo originally just wanted to hold him back, not to really fight him, but what did he say? Old woman!

Boom! A huge burst of chakra exploded, causing the chakra lines in Chiyo's hand to become much thicker, while Chikamatsu Juurei took out all his weapons.

Various forms, swords, forks, guns, cannons, torpedoes, saws and hooks. Hanzo narrowed his eyes, threw the samurai sword in his hand, then reached behind his back and took out a sickle.

All the ninjas who knew his reputation knew that he was serious. After all, this was his exclusive weapon and could not be replaced by any samurai sword or long sword!

"Asshole, hasn't anyone told you that you can't casually talk about a woman's age!" After saying that, Chiyo roared, and the powerful chakra blew her hair upside down.

Chikamatsu Juninwei rushed towards Salamander Hanzo at twice the speed as before.

The Salamander retreated, and the Tenjin Guards of Chikamatsu pursued closely. Then, the Salamander formed seals with both hands, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Fire Style: Explosive Flame Formation!"

Chiyo raised his brows and withdrew four of the ten guards, and then the remaining six stayed at the location where the explosive flame formation was detonated.

In an instant, many detonating tags buried in the ground flew out and then stuck to the six Chikamatsu Tenjinwei, followed by a roar from Hanzo of the Salamander.

The detonating talisman exploded! Bang!

The six Chikamatsu Juurei were blown away and maimed. Chiyo tried to control them, but found that the six puppets could no longer move. Then she retracted the silk thread with a serious look in her eyes.

She didn't know when Hanzo of the Salamander had buried the detonating tags, and why it didn't work when Jiraiya attacked the South Gate before!

In fact, it is not surprising that Chiyo is suspicious. The Explosive Flame Array is an A-level ninjutsu, which means that it can be activated by at least a true jonin, and a ninja with a large amount of chakra. And in the Rain Village, besides Hanzo of the Salamander, who else meets the requirements?
