Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

Uchiha Xiao knew that he could no longer remain silent. "I swear in the name of Uchiha, I, Uchiha Xiao, will do my best to ensure everyone's safety!"

Two hundred Uchiha jonin shouted in unison, "Uchiha ninja, obey the orders of the clan leader and follow the orders of the six elders! Protect the village and the country, and kill the foreign enemies!"

The elders looked at each other, but no one jumped out at this time, because at this moment the hearts of the Uchiha people were with the clan leader and the Sixth Elder, and this expedition represented the family and the village.

Coming out to stop them now would shake the morale of the army, so everyone turned their eyes to Uchiha Xiao, praying that Uchiha Xiao could command properly in this battle and reduce the casualties of the family's ninjas!

---------

I am quite excited, and the author is even more excited than the readers. The combined strength of the entire clan should be enough to be written into textbooks and history. No matter what the result is, Uchiha has obtained a golden medal of immunity from death.

Chapter 49 The entire Uchiha clan joins the war?

The next day

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En arrived at the village entrance early. Yesterday's meeting had already made the decision.

Led by Shimura Danzo, each family must send no less than thirty jonin, no less than fifty chunin, and no less than one hundred genin, which means that each family must send at least one hundred and eighty people.

Including large and small families, Konoha's army must have at least 6,000 ninjas.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there calmly waiting, while Shimura Danzo was a little worried.

"Huruzen, do you think we can gather these 6,000 people this time?" Shimura Danzo's eyes were dim. He didn't quite believe that those families would send their own strong men to the battlefield.

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly, "There may not be that many Jonin, but there is always a shortage of Chunin and Genin. Even if there is a shortage, there are many civilian ninjas to fill it."

Danzo Shimura nodded and said, "Each of these big families is trying to protect their reputation and preserve their strength. It's not realistic to expect them to contribute senior ninjas." After saying that, he sighed. Sarutobi and the Shimura family had been close friends since the Warring States Period.

They are both elders/clan leaders of their own families, so they know everything about the ninja clan's thoughts. The only difference between them and those high-ranking officials is that Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi are also high-ranking officials of the village.

They also have to consider the village and the war. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no such thing as completely eliminating the barriers between the big clans, and there is no hatred between families.

The idea of ​​building a village, forgetting past hatreds, and allowing people to live in peace with each other, as Hashirama Senju said, is too idealistic.

Of course, when Hashirama Senju was alive, when one person could crush everything, his words were the will of the ninja world.

But not long after his death, the First Shinobi World War broke out. Although he believed in peace, the ninjas in the ninja world believed in strength.

"Monkey, look, it seems like a family is coming over there!" Utane Koharu patted Sarutobi Hiruzen on the shoulder. Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses and looked into the distance.

Hyuga ninjas in cloth clothes and with long hair draped over their shoulders slowly arrived, and the leader was none other than Hyuga Akagi, who walked towards the village entrance with a warm smile.

"Thirty jonin, fifty chunin, and one hundred genin of the Hyuga family are all here. Please review them, Hokage." His voice was extremely confident, with a hint of pride on his face.

The Hyuga family is indeed a family as famous as the Senju and Uchiha families. These ninjas appeared without blinking an eye, but they were all ninjas from branch families.

Even so, this is a force that cannot be underestimated on the battlefield.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and smiled at Hyuga Akagi, "The Hyuga family is indeed a powerful family. They have gathered so many ninjas in just one day."

"No need for review. I believe in the Hyuga clan and I believe in clan leader Akagi!" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

Hinata Akagi nodded and said "Yes!" Then he stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Soon after, the clan leaders of other tribes came with their ninjas. How should I put it? Sarutobi Hiruzen was right. Basically, there were not enough jonins, so they had to recruit lower-ranking ninjas. They all cried because their strength was not strong enough and they did not have enough people.

Those who understand understand. Sarutobi Hiruzen still smiled and nodded, comforting them, "It's okay, I know everyone tried their best."

Danzo Shimura's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little angry inside, and everyone was hiding something.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown when he saw the ninjas present. Where are the Uchiha clan?

The moment this thought came to his mind, the ground began to vibrate, and thousands of Uchiha ninjas marched in orderly steps towards the village entrance.

The heads of each ninja clan felt nervous, and when they saw the number of people in the Uchiha clan, their faces changed. Did the entire Uchiha clan go up?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned at first, then ecstatic. Even Shimura Danzo couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling surprised and incredible. Is Uchiha crazy?

"Hokage-sama!" Uchiha Xiao waved his hand. None of the other elders and clan leaders of the Uchiha clan came today, so only Uchiha Xiao was allowed to bring people.

"Xiao, you are here, what are you doing?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy at first, then frowned and pointed at the Uchiha ninja and asked.

Uchiha Xiao realized that he should be more formal at this moment, so he stepped back two steps and bowed. "Uchiha Xiao, along with 200 Uchiha Jonin, 300 Chunin, and 500 Genin, will use the strength of the entire clan to protect the village and the country! Fight against the Sand Dogs."

Uchiha Owl's voice was resounding and penetrating, shocking the surrounding ninjas. Was this still the Uchiha they remembered? He was actually mobilizing his entire clan to fight for the village!

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt Uchiha Owl's sincerity, glanced at the Uchiha clan's ninjas, and finally looked at Uchiha Owl, "Thank you for the Uchiha clan's full support!"

After saying that, he wanted to bow, but Uchiha Owl didn't dare and hurried forward, but Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and bowed to the Uchiha clan ninjas.

"You are the Uchiha of Konoha, you always have been and you will always be. Your contributions have been seen by me and all the villagers. As the Hokage, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, thank you for your efforts!" Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed to the Uchiha clan members.

The Uchiha clansmen were all moved and knelt on one knee. "For the village, for the villagers, this is what we wish for!"

Even Danzo Shimura became excited and began to change his opinion of the Uchiha clan. The Hyuga clan leader, who had been so proud before, was now a little embarrassed.

Regardless of what the Uchiha did before, this time they put the entire clan's strength into fighting for the village. This determination is unmatched by other clans.

After this battle, no matter what the outcome, the Uchiha clan will become the benchmark family of Konoha.

Nara Rokumei's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. He admired Uchiha Owl and the Uchiha clan, because even he would not dare to make such a big decision.

Tsunade is not here at the moment, otherwise she would be very excited. Because of the medical ninja proposal, she was sent to manage the village's medical ninjas. This time, as the medical commander of the war, she will not participate in the frontal war.

The Senju troops stood aside, looking at Uchiha Owl and the Uchiha clan, feeling a little emotional. It turned out that different leaders would lead to different spirits of a clan.

The current Uchiha gave them the feeling of unity and responsibility.

The Third Hokage looked at all this with satisfaction and patted Uchiha Owl on the shoulder. He smiled slightly, then winked at Shimura Danzo, who understood.

This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen told him, to discuss things with Uchiha Owl, and he is here to help him this time.

Danzo Shimura naturally knew about this. He looked at Uchiha Owl and forced out a smile that he thought was very sunny. Uchiha Owl also responded with a smile.

Chapter 50: Fighting Bai Chang in the open, crossing Shi Tian in secret

After all the ninjas gathered, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a pre-war speech that was so passionate that it made everyone who listened to it excited.

After he finished speaking, Danzo Shimura was asked to come forward and give a speech. Danzo Shimura was not very good at speaking, so he just said a few polite words and ended the speech.

Everyone also understood Danzo's character, and gave him support and applause.

Finally, something unexpected happened. Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said, "Everyone, there are nearly 8,000 ninjas now, which is not a small number. Therefore, I have decided to temporarily appoint two deputy commanders, Uchiha Xiao and Nara Shikaku!"

Uchiha Xiao was also stunned. Didn't they agree before that he would help Shimura Danzo improve his battle record? Why did he expose him in public this time?

Danzo Shimura was silent, but he had no objection. How could he have an objection to the Uchiha clan sending out all its strength to fight? Moreover, he was the commander-in-chief, and no matter how the battle turned out, he would benefit the most.

"Uchiha Owl/Nara Rokumei, as you command!" The two men quickly knelt on one knee and accepted the order.

The other families had different expressions. The Hyuga clan frowned. They and the Uchiha clan were both eye-jutsu families. Why did the Uchiha have a deputy commander, but they didn't? They didn't believe that the last time the Rain Country was led by Uchiha Owl, it was Uchiha Owl.

The Thousand Hands troops breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and their own people with smiles on their faces. This time the battle would be easier to fight!

The Ino, Shika, and Chou families were also a little excited. After all, Nara Shikamei was their man, which meant that they could also benefit from his influence.

"Let's go now, warriors of Konoha, to repel Sunagakure and shatter their evil ambitions!" Danzo Shimura waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Afterwards, the troops left the village in an orderly manner and marched southwest. This time the battlefield was in the Land of Rivers (some also say the Land of Rivers). It is estimated that Sunagakure has occupied the territory of the Land of Rivers.

After all, the Sand Village is one of the five major countries, and the River Country is just a small country. No matter how low the Sand Village ranks, behind the five major countries, their strength is not something that a small country can compete with.

What we need to consider now is whether they have already entered Konoha. If so, where will they set an ambush? Where will they set an ambush?

At night, Danzo was thinking, and Uchiha Owl said, "Danzo-sama!"

Shimura Danzo was startled, and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Uchiha Owl. He nodded and said, "Owl, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. No need for honorifics."

Just listen to this, if you believe it, you are a fool.

"Lord Danzo, I think the other party has entered our border!" He pointed to the Kikyo Mountain, Tamiya Mountain, Kashiwagi, and Nagaga areas on the map.

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Danzo Shimura became interested. He looked at Uchiha Owl and asked.

Uchiha Xiao didn't waste any words. He pointed at the map and said, "We can set up an ambush on Mount Kikyo and Mount Tamiya. When our army passes by, rocks and shurikens will fall from the sky. This is one place."

"Kashiwamu, Changhe is still at the border of our village, or rather, within our territory. They dispatched troops with a premeditated plan, and we are two to three days behind."

"These two to three days are enough time for them to enter our border from the Wind Country. The messenger who came to report the news a while ago was from the Fire Country capital, not Kashiwamu and Naga. This means that this place has been occupied, or that the communication channel between Kashiwamu and Naga and other areas has been occupied by Sunagakure, and the information cannot be transmitted."

"So to sum up, Sunagakure has entered our border. And in Kashiwagi, Naga has also set a trap." Uchiha Owl's reasoning was clear and his logic was rigorous. He had analyzed the situation clearly, and even Danzo couldn't help but want to praise him.

"Well, go on, if it were you, how would you like to fight?" Danzo Shimura knew Uchiha Owl's ability, so he would also listen to Uchiha Owl's advice.

"Fight at Baichang openly and cross Ishida secretly." Uchiha Xiao smiled and pointed to Ishida (a place name).

"Tell me in detail." Shimura Danzo's eyes lit up as he waited for the next words.

"On the surface, we're sending troops to fight in Kashiwagi and Nagaga. Lord Danzo is leading the troops here, defending without attacking. Given the superiority of supplies and terrain, our army has an endless supply of supplies, while the enemy's mountain roads are rugged and the distance is long. It won't be long before they run out of ammunition and food. This is our victory."

"Secretly, I will lead the Uchiha clan to climb Mount Dayu from Ishida, cut off their food supply, and after that, I will fire a signal flare and attack the Sunagakure forces on Mount Kikyo and Mount Tame from the rear. At this time, we will need Lord Danzo to lead the entire army to fight with us on the two mountains at the same time. In this way, we can completely wipe out the Sunagakure!"

"This kind of casualties is minimal. The ninjas led by Lord Danzo suffered almost no casualties. As for us Uchiha, it depends on Lord Danzo's speed!" Uchiha Xiao laughed.

Danzo Shimura looked deeply at Uchiha Owl. This guy actually gave him such a great achievement and put his life in his hands.

I didn't expect Uchiha Xiao to trust me so much. Maybe the Uchiha clan is not what the teacher said? As his mind turned, he spoke.

"Don't worry, Lord Xiao, we will do as you say. As soon as the signal is sounded, our army will charge immediately. We will be there in ten minutes at the latest!" Danzo Shimura said seriously.

He also needed this achievement at this moment, and the strategy proposed by Uchiha Xiao was the one with the least casualties and the greatest results! What reason did he have to refuse?

If it was the elderly Danzo, Uchiha Xiao would not believe him. Now Danzo, who had just taken over the power of Konoha from Senju Tobirama, was a passionate young man! Although a little radical, he was an ambitious young man.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Danzo, there may be detonating tags at the entrances of Kashiwagi and Naga. It will be safer if the army uses shadow clones to run away once." After saying that, Uchiha Owl began to call on the Uchiha clan ninjas to follow him.

Nara Luming also wanted to follow, at this time Uchiha Xiao shook his head and said, "We need a smart person to take charge here, Luming, do you understand?"

After saying that, Uchiha Owl and the Uchiha clan ninjas took advantage of the night and black clothes and took a detour to Ishida.

Shimura Danzo ordered his army to set up camp and advance at daybreak. He looked towards Ishida and thought to himself, "Xiao, if this can be accomplished, I will definitely drink three cups with you after returning to the village."

Uchiha Xiao yawned, and a ninja came out from below and said quickly, "Sixth Elder, please keep warm. The temperature is low at night, so don't catch a cold!"

"Don, I'm fine. I guess someone is just thinking about me." Uchiha Xiao smiled.

He suddenly turned and looked at the Uchiha clan ninjas. "This operation is the most dangerous, but if it succeeds, it will also bring the greatest rewards. The village will remember our contribution. From now on, the Uchiha clan will become a glorious clan."

"I will do my best to ensure your safety, but it is impossible to be completely safe. If you are afraid of death, return to Lord Danzo's army now. There is basically no danger." Uchiha Xiao's words were heard by all Uchiha ninjas.

The Uchiha ninja's Sharingan was fully opened. "Sixth Elder, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of dying in vain. Now that you know how important our journey is, why should we fear death!"

Everyone nodded. Under the moonlight, Uchiha Xiao looked at the thousands of ninjas of the Uchiha clan and smiled. "Okay, everyone, I, Uchiha Xiao, promise you that I will charge into battle first. If I have to die, I will die before you!"
