Chapter Forty-Six: Something Strange Must Be True
A forest somewhere in the country of Tanoku.
Not far from the river is the camp of Konoha Village.
Tsunade handed over the task and took Natsume, Yakushidou, and Shizune to the large tent in the center.
There are already quite a few people waiting inside.
"Tsunade-sama."
The first to speak was not Uchiha Fugaku, but Nara Shikaku, who was holding a pineapple head.
He is the father of Nara Shikamaru, one of the twelve powerhouses of Konoha, and the deer of this generation of pig deer butterflies.
The Nara clan is known for their high IQ, so they usually serve as staff officers or military advisors.
This war was no exception.
"About Si Dong, on behalf of Pig Deer Butterfly, I would like to express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for your timely rescue, he might not have been able to be a ninja again. ”
Nara Shikahisa showed a grateful expression.
Pigs, deer and butterflies have always lived and died together, and their feelings are deep.
It was not abrupt for him to thank Si Dong in place of the unconscious.
"It's something I'm supposed to do."
Tsunade waved his hand, turned to the topic, and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”
"Not so good."
Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice, "In just one week, we had thirty outposts and strongholds destroyed. ”
"Have you gone out of the nest?"
Tsunade had already learned the information, but it was still a little surprising to hear such a large amount.
"Hmm."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "We were caught off guard and could only avoid the edge for the time being, but Shikaku sensed that something was wrong. ”
Outposts and strongholds, which are very useful in warfare.
Can form a fixed position to resist enemy attacks.
Because of ordinary tents or obstacles, there is no way to stop ninjutsu.
Resting outside, without outposts and strongholds, you can only be frightened everywhere.
"Everybody, please look at the map."
Nara Shikahisa took over the topic, spread out a map of Tanokuni, and said, "Although the distribution of these thirty outposts and strongholds is not regular, we have unknowingly retreated to the south side of Tanokuni, which is the area downstream of this river. ”
After he finished speaking, he drew a large circle on the picture.
"Could it be just a coincidence?"
Tsunade swept his eyes and asked, "This area is so big, even if it is an ambush, it will be difficult to work." ”
"Tsunade-sama said something strange about us, too."
Nara Shikahisa nodded and said, "But the goal of the four generations of Thunder Shadow should be much more than just these outposts and strongholds. ”
"Hmm."
Tsunade voiced his conjecture, "Most of the time, Yunyin Village wants to negotiate with a big victory in order to get more compensation. ”
"That's what we thought after discussion."
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Hinata Hinata and said, "The ninjas of the Hyuga clan have already probed, and the two pillars of Yunyin Village have not moved, and they are still in Yunyin Village. ”
"Uprooting so many outposts and strongholds in a short period of time, the price paid by Yunyin Village is estimated to be not small."
Hinata Hinata noticed his eyes and said, "There must be something strange about this matter, you can send Hinata's ninjas to go deep behind enemy lines to investigate." ”
Although the danger is dangerous, if you really find out something, it will be a great achievement.
"Although the white eye is a sharp weapon for exploration, once it is discovered, it will be bad if it does not have enough strength. If the Hyuga patriarch is willing to go in person, I don't have a problem. ”
Uchiha Fugaku naturally understood what he was thinking.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are equally famous, and they are called the two major pupil ninja clans of Konoha.
But within the Uchiha clan, it has never been the case.
This is especially true of Uchiha Fugaku.
He knows the kaleidoscope of writing wheels.
How can it be compared to the white eyes?
Hinata's face changed suddenly.
He really did not dare to go behind enemy lines.
As a member of the sect, he does not have a caged bird, and if he misses, his white eyes will be lost.
In the Third Ninja World War, there were clan elders who participated in the war, and as a result, the white eyes fell into the hands of the Shinobi Qing in the Fog Hidden Village.
also gave him the title of a white-eyed killer in vain.
Such a lesson from the past made the Zong family more and more cautious.
Whatever is dangerous, leave it to the dividers.
Anyway, the caged bird was in hand, and they had to listen.
"Then I'd like to hear the Uchiha patriarch's opinion."
Hinata Hinata said with a slightly gloomy face.
"I suggest that Tsunade-sama lead the team, and then the Uchiha Water Stopping Team will assist."
Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have a draft for a long time, and without any hesitation, he said his plan.
Needless to say, Tsunade.
In this tent, the existence with the highest status and strength is also ranked in the top five.
And the Uchiha stopped the water, and in the third ninja war, he broke through the title of 'instant stop water', and this time it was even more brilliant.
In terms of personal merit alone, he can be called the first.
Even if he doesn't use a kaleidoscope to write wheels, his strength is far higher than three years ago.
"I don't have a problem."
Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
She participated in this war in order to hone Natsume and others.
She was very pleased with their performance against Troy earlier.
Going behind enemy lines is dangerous, but it's also an excellent exercise.
Tsunade felt that their current strength could be tested.
"Yes."
The Uchiha took a step forward and accepted the task as well.
He had been in the upper ninja group before, and because of his age, he was the shortest.
Natsume only noticed him at this time.
"Stop the water, are you leading the team to endure now?"
Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "Who are your team members?" ”
Two squads.
She thought that Natsume and the others would not hold back, but the other team was more difficult to say.
After all, geniuses are in the minority.
"It was Hokage-sama who allowed me to lead the team as a ninja."
Uchiha Shisui replied with a gentle face, "My team members are the three apprentices of Orochimaru-sama, Uchiha Itachi, Mitarai Red Bean, and Uzuki Yuyan. ”
"It turned out to be Orochimaru's apprentice."
Tsunade raised his eyebrows and said, "This guy has been nesting in Konoha all day and doesn't come out, but he is willing to let his apprentice out." ”
The Uchiha was silent.
The big guy fights, and it has nothing to do with him.
In fact, it wasn't he who chose their team because of Uchiha Itachi's relationship.
Instead, Orochimaru appointed him to lead the team.
What was the purpose of this, he still hadn't figured it out.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to Tsunade-sama."
Uchiha Fugaku saw that after the two of them finished talking, he spoke in time.
He glanced at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, and didn't speak, but the meaning was conveyed in place, and he behaved well.
At this time, because of the drastic changes within the Uchiha clan, he had already understood the most dangerous moment.
So while appeasing the overly extreme clansmen, he planned to learn about the movements of the Konoha higher-ups through Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
A two-pronged approach to try to find a balance.
Uchiha Fugaku is reluctant to rebel.
In the original work, he was forced to take the lead because he was helpless.
As a result, when he met Uchiha Itachi, he was willing to be captured, and he didn't resist or resist directly.
The thinking in it is incomprehensible and too outrageous.
As for now.
Uchiha Fugaku is not a qualified patriarch, nor is he a qualified father, so he doesn't know what Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi really think.
His inaction, in the matter of the demise of the Uchiha clan, slammed on the accelerator.
