Konoha 54 years, summer,

The battle between Konoha and Yunyin has officially begun.

For the time being, there are only two major countries participating in this big war.

Neither the country of the wind, which was strapped for money, nor the country of earth, which had to hire outside ninjas to maintain order in the country after suffering heavy losses in the last war, and the country of water, which was closed to the country, did not make any statement about the war between the two.

Whether it was to prevent the war from happening, or to take sides, or even to condemn, they did not have the slightest voice.

It's as if they didn't even know there was such a thing.

Among the ninja world, the only ones who have spoken out in this war are the country of iron, the country of fields, and the country of snow...... A small and medium-sized country in the middle of two large countries.

Their daimyo and chieftain tried to dissuade the two sides from war and called for peace and stability.

However, the Konoha ninjas, who were full of anger because they were humiliated, couldn't stop their steps,

Yun Yin, who is ambitious to pull Konoha off the throne, can't stop them,

In this regard, small and medium-sized countries, including the Iron Country, can only huddle together to keep warm, jointly condemn the two sides that started the war, and warn that they must not affect the people in their territory during the war.

However, it is a pity that if it is a local war, the two can still resist the idea of fighting each other only at the junction of countries, that is, on common land.

But in the case of a war on a large scale, this rule is relatively weak.

……

……

"Is this where the Uchiha is stationed? It doesn't look like there's been a trace left......"

Konoha Nakashinobi, whose name is Kokoko, looked at the snow in front of him, and his body trembled unconsciously.

Dressed in a thin ninja vest, she had some difficulty adapting to the sudden temperature difference.

"Of course, the Uchiha is a family that has extremely high requirements for itself, and the ninjas within it are extremely good in the face of competition with each other."

With short hair and a smile at Konoha Kamishinobi, who looked at the very kind, he explained, "Ninja is a combat profession that can detect a lot of information from extremely small details. ”

"Therefore, it is extremely necessary to erase the traces of the march in war."

"It seems that the Uchiha did not withdraw all the elites from the front line under the pretext of the wounded, as some ninjas in the village speculated, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled perfunctory Konoha."

He and his two men who had stepped into the battlefield for the first time and were on a battlefield mission explained the reasons for this, and also refuted the statements of some of the ninjas in the village.

"Mizusane-sensei, you seem to be friendly to the Uchiha, which is a little different from the ninjas I saw in the village."

Next to him, Tianma asked curiously.

"When I was younger, I also went on missions with the Uchiha."

Shui Wuyue couldn't help but explain with a smile, "When I first came into contact, although I was very arrogant and indifferent. ”

"But then after we got acquainted on a mission, my relationship with that Uchiha developed well."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Uchiha rarely intermarried with the outside world, maybe ...... I'm on the top of the list now. ”

He didn't care about his subordinates, talking about the affairs of his youth.

“…… Huh?! ”

The heart that was still looking at the snow scene turned his head with great interest, "Teacher, the reason why you have never been married, can't it have something to do with this?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Shui Wuyue just smiled and diverted the topic very bluntly, "Okay, let's talk about it here." ”

"Why don't you hurry up and supervise the others to set up their tents."

"Although a few of you are also rookies, compared to the lower ninjas who left with us this time, they are all seniors."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Although the defense line on this side is not important, it can't stand whether Yun Yin's tactics will go sideways." ”

"And the supply lines and liaison lines on the Uchiha side are also in our responsibility."

"As allies, we can't disgrace Konoha and make them laugh."

The snow-capped mountain range where the former Uchiha was stationed on the front line ushered in a new defensive army.

After Uchiha Itachi proposed to Konoha that he would take Uchiha's team deep into the battlefield, Goyome quickly replied and sent a suitable person to guard the defense line on their side.

"One last question."

But Tianma still had doubts in his heart, "Uchiha's current patriarch, Uchiha Itachi...... Is he really younger than us? ”

"Of course, this is a public matter in Konoha."

Shui Wuyue quickly replied, "Aama, you seem to be very interested in this Uchiha Itachi? ”

"Of course I've heard of it, but I haven't met each other."

Tianma nodded, "I don't know why, when I heard the name, I always felt that I should know him." ”

"But as far as I can remember, I don't seem to have seen it."

"It's just that I've heard rumors about him from many people, whether it's in the ninja school or after he takes a leave of absence."

Shui Wuyue clasped her hands to her chest, and the smile on her face was a little strange, "I haven't seen him either." ”

"But when you say that, I also think I have a good impression of the name."

"It's like...... We used to know the same thing, and it was weird. ”

And next to it, Xinzi's heart also emerged with the conversation between the two, and a sense of familiarity emerged.

Present, only one Konoha Nakaya Shinobu looked at his two teammates and the guide Shinobu blankly, not knowing what was going on.

……

……

"Patriarch, is there really no problem with handing over all the contact lines and supply lines to the people of Konoha?"

and is a long way from the boundary line,

In the Uchiha team in the outer area of the Snow Country,

Uchiha Aomon was galloping across the snow as he put forward his thoughts with some concern, "Although even if there are no supply lines and communication lines, we can still have a way to pass the news back to the family, but it may be more troublesome. ”

"Looks ...... Your mind has not yet detached itself from the previous Konoha era. ”

And in this regard, Itachi's attitude was very calm, "The person who is in power in Konoha now is Tsunade, not Sarutobi. ”

"What we Uchiha rejects is Konoha who is jealous of the Uchiha under the power of the Sarutobi and wants our help on the other hand."

"For Konoha like this, we have hatred, opposition, and even do something to assassinate the Hokage, which is right."

Speaking of this, he paused, "If we completely veto the other rulers of Konoha because of the events during the period when Sarutobi and Shimura Danzou were in power, then what is the difference between us and their way of vetoing the entire Uchiha clan because of Madara Uchiha?" ”

"In the past, Konoha, I naturally wouldn't entrust these important things to Konoha, but now it's different."

"The person in charge of Konoha is Tsunade, and this time the person in charge of the western theater of operations is Jiraiya, their people, I believe in them more, at least they won't have some dirty and disgusting thoughts about this kind of thing."

Of course, there are more important reasons for the shortage of manpower.

The Uchiha were just a family of a few hundred people.

In Kyoto City, the development of the family needs manpower.

And on the front line, the attack on Yunyin Village also needs manpower.

In this case, Itachi felt that the best option was to directly let Konoha's people be in charge of garrisoning the defense line, rather than dedicating troops to complete the job.

Just right, it can also better facilitate the first coordinated battle between the family and Konoha.
