Konoha I am Uchiha

A week ago, the Fire Nation faced Kirigakure on the battlefield.

"Kirigakure and Kumogakure intend to prolong this war. We cannot let their plot succeed."

The one who spoke was the "Butterfly" among this generation of Inoga Butterfly, the current leader of the Akimichi clan and a teammate of the Fourth Hokage - Akimichi Choza.

With the death of the Fourth Hokage in the battle, the originally settled border was in chaos again. Kirigakure, who originally withdrew from the battlefield because most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen died, and Kumogakure, who focused the war on Iwagakure because he was repulsed by the Fourth Generation, all set their sights on Konoha, trying to get a piece of the pie. .

What added fuel to the fire was that with the departure of Tsunade after the Second Ninja War, the suicide of Konoha White Fang, the defection of Orochimaru before the fourth generation Hokage came to the throne, and the pursuit of Jiraiya, at this time Konoha was weaker than ever.

Coupled with the sacrifice of the Hokage who had just ascended the throne, Konoha at this time was unable to quickly repel the intruders from the two major ninja villages, and even more so, Sunagakure and Iwagakure, who had just ceased war, were ready to move.

Seeing that Konoha could not be defeated immediately, Kirigakure and Kumogakure had the idea of ​​​​fighting a protracted war, hoping to drag Konoha to death in the quagmire of war.

Obviously they also know that only in this way can they achieve the greatest results with the least sacrifice.

"The Third Generation Master needs to stay in the village. All the reinforcements that can be sent from the village have arrived..."

The speaker is Nara Shikaku, the leading think tank in Konoha, the "deer" among the three pigs, deer, and butterflies, and the contemporary leader of the Nara clan.

What he didn't say was that the village sent reinforcements only from civilian ninjas and some small families and families close to the Hokage lineage. None of the big families such as Uchiha and Hinata had any children going to the battlefield.

Uchiha lost the trust of senior officials because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and Hinata...

Shikaku thought to himself.

As the only young ninja in Konoha who can support the overall situation after the death of the fourth generation, Nara Shikaku has been given extremely high authority. He leads the eastern front against the two countries and is now the highest commander on the battlefield. Shikaku still knew a little about some of the twists and turns in the village.

In fact, among the ninjas currently on the front line, only Uchiha Shisui comes from a large family in Konoha. The reason is that his ancestor, Uchiha Kagami, is a companion of the third generation and other high-level Konoha families.

Since Kumogakure was still restrained by Iwagakure and there were not that many troops invested in Konoha, Shikaku placed the headquarters on the battlefield against Kirigakure, showing the commander's will to resolutely fight back.

In fact, he did a good job. Even with a military disadvantage, Konoha actually fought back and forth with the two villages, barely maintaining a balance of power.

But in fact, he knew that the current balance of power could not be maintained for long.

Konoha's losses in this war were too great. Even with the full support of the Fire Nation daimyo, it would take time to digest. If it really goes as the enemy wishes and Konoha drags itself into a protracted war, the village may collapse on its own without the enemy's attack...

"We can't sit still and wait for death! Ding Zao, Hai Yi, we must fight back!" He called his blond companion who was meditating and communicating with the battlefield. Shikaku looked at the map in front of him with bright eyes.

……

"Report! Class Ito completed the patrol mission and found no abnormalities!"

"Understood! There are currently no tasks for your class, you can go and rest."

"Ok."

After reporting the mission to the ninja at the mission reporting office, Ito Jonin led his men to the station where the medical force was stationed.

Ninjas who have just completed a mission usually seek medical ninjas for examination, even those who think they are not injured. After all, no one knows whether the enemy has any hidden methods.

Ever since Princess Tsunade of Konoha proposed a plan to equip every ninja team with a medical ninja, Konoha began to pay attention to the role of medical ninjas. Although it was not possible to do something as luxurious as having a medical ninja for each team as planned, medical troops were stationed on the front lines, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of ninjas.

Ninjas during war also have tasks, but the rewards for tasks at this time will change from money to achievements. The registration place for merit and the place where tasks are issued are also concentrated in one place.

During times of war, even if the two countries were at war, large-scale battles between ninjas would rarely occur. Most of them consist of several small teams of ninjas reconnaissance, assassination, sneak attacks, sabotage and laying traps in the vast battlefield.

A battle like the one in Iwagakure where tens of thousands of ninjas were sent out to kill the Third Raikage was extremely rare at present. A large company battle like the Fourth Ninja War is unique.

Therefore, the main vehicle for obtaining credit is still the ninja teams.

Regardless of the fact that merit can't buy you anything, this is why many ninjas envy ninjas during wartime.

The merit can be exchanged for high-level ninjutsu in the village, and after the merit is accumulated to a certain level, one can also advance to the ninja level. From genin to chunin, from chunin to special jounin, you can all be promoted by earning certain merits.

An advanced ninjutsu can even change a ninja's life! Just like the Fourth Generation Flying Thunder God, except for a few ninjas, most ninjas only have a few common ninjutsu that they are good at. Not to mention the benefits of ninja level promotion.

This is also the reason why there was no chunin exam during the war, but a large number of ninjas were still promoted.

After the inspection, there were no problems with Ito's class. After Ito Jonin told them about the gathering time, they dispersed to collect supplies.

"Huh~ It's finally over. My heart has been tense these past few days. When I return to the camp, I can finally rest for a while."

The speaker was Takuma from Ito's class. After such a long period of fighting, Takuma's temperament had changed slightly, becoming less frivolous and more calm.

Of course, the liveliness hidden in his bones has not changed. After Ito Jonin left, Takuma "revealed his true colors" in front of his friends.

"Take a good rest. It seems that the war will not end in a short time." Shisui said to Takuma and Eiji: "After receiving the supplies, I will go back to the tent to rest for a while. Where are you two?"

"I can't stand it. I want to go there to practice. I have to practice a very strong technique recently. Maybe I can get enough credit and be promoted to chuunin! Then I can lead a team by myself! "Although Takuma is careless, he always works hard towards practice seriously.

"I also want to take a rest. I'll go back with you in a while." Yingshi is a silent person, but everyone who knows him knows that he has a delicate heart: "I see that you are very worried today. What's the matter?"

"He must be missing his younger brother! This guy..." Takuma didn't give Shisui face.

"Yeah, I miss Hiiragi a little bit. I haven't been home for a long time." Shisui smiled and didn't refute.

"Don't worry, isn't your brother already in ninja school? The teachers will take good care of him." Eishi comforted Shisui.

Both of them knew that Zhisui had a younger brother who was four years younger than him. He just entered the ninja school last year and was also a talented ninja, so they did not doubt Zhisui's words.

Why...I always have an uneasy feeling...

Zhisui raised his head and looked at the birds in the sky, his eyes not leaving for a long time.
