Formulating a Plan

Uchiha Izuna sat in the main tent, with Uchiha Fugaku below him and Pakura beside him. The group looked at the map of Kumogakure and pondered their next move.

"Izuna, the walls of Kumogakure are high and sturdy, and the village has ample supplies. Although we don't know how many people are in the village on the other side, a rash attack would certainly result in significant losses for us," Uchiha Fugaku frowned.

"That's right. If we fight a war of attrition, our Konoha's supply routes are long and our manpower is huge. It's obviously not worth it, and this won't work!" Pakura, wearing a standard ninja outfit, with a frown on his face.

She is now a member of Konoha and is also the wife of Uchiha Izuna. Uchiha Izuna is in charge of the battle against Kumogakure, so she naturally has to consider the Konoha.

Uchiha Izuna crossed his legs, one hand stroking his chin, the other arm around his chest. He had initially anticipated this situation, but his eldest grandson clearly didn't want to waste too much time.

So for this battle, they must launch a full-scale attack. Suddenly, he looked at his wife and asked, "Pakura, how is your compatibility with the Four-Tails?" Uchiha Izuna's eyes lit up.

Pakura was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly. She understood what her husband meant, and flicked her brown sideburn. "Now I am the Perfect Jinchuriki."

Son Gokū discovered that Pakura's Chakra nature was a good match for his own, and because Konoha's attitude towards Tailed Beast was not as harsh as Iwagakure's, Son Gokū quickly accepted becoming Jinchūriki Tailed Beast jinchūriki again.

Furthermore, Pakura's personality is far superior to Roshi's, and she respects Roshi's opinions, not just treating him as a tool. Therefore, through years of training and cooperation, Pakura has become Perfect Jinchuriki, able to freely manipulate the Four-Tails' power.

They were also very familiar with the Four-Tails' Lava Release and the Tailed Beast Bomb. In the present day, only A and Darui were struggling to hold on in Kumogakure. Both of the Jinchūriki had left Kumogakure, so they had no way to resist the Tailed Beast Bomb.

At this moment, Senju Nawaki pulled Two-Tails Yugito into the large tent. Their relationship had progressed over the years, and although they hadn't gotten married, they were practically married.

In this campaign against Kumogakure, Senju Nawaki and Yugito volunteered for the battle. Seeing the current stalemate, Nawaki became anxious and pulled Yugito along to volunteer for the battle, in order to avenge the Third Raikage's killing of Yugito's entire family in order to cultivate the perfect Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Upon seeing the two enter, Uchiha Izuna smiled. He personally stood up and looked at them. Nawaki had now awakened Wood Release, which was achieved with the help of Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō infused Nawaki with Yang Release Chakra, and in just one day, Nawaki mastered the basics of Wood Release. After being trained by Senju Hashirama for eight years, he was already able to perform many Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Aside from the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands and the Wood Human Technique, I have basically mastered the others.

"It's Nawaki and Yugito! Come in, please!" Izuna said with a smile, pulling Nawaki's hand and helping him to his seat. Two-Tails, Yugito the other hand, walked towards Pakura. The two were very close.

In some ways, they have something in common: both are ninjas from other countries, both are Jinchūriki, and both came to Konoha, which makes their relationship extraordinary.

They exchanged a smile and looked at Izuna and Nawaki, while Uchiha Fugaku, standing to the side, had a dark expression on his face. He felt completely superfluous there!

Then, Uchiha Izuna poured a cup of tea for Nawaki and Yugito. "I just thought of a strategy to attack Kumogakure, and I thought of you, Nawaki and Yugito."

Nawaki, who was about to drink his tea, paused upon hearing this. He looked at Uchiha Izuna with eager eyes. Everyone said that Uchiha Izuna's wisdom was on par with his Second Grandfather's, and he was also Brother Kō's grandfather. Presumably, this strategy had a high probability of success! Now that the day had finally come to seek justice for Yugito, how could he not be concerned?

Yugito, having not even had a cup of tea, looked at Uchiha Izuna with anticipation in her eyes upon hearing the news. Ever since she learned that the Raikage had slaughtered her entire family to appease the Two-Tails and cultivate Perfect Jinchuriki, she had been locked in a life-or-death struggle with Kumogakure. Now, hearing about the siege plan, she was filled with excitement.

Seeing the two of them like this, Uchiha Izuna stopped keeping them in suspense. He sat in the main seat and said, "Now our Konoha has well-trained soldiers and sufficient food. The enemy is refusing to come out and is fighting a war of attrition. Our consumption of money, food and supplies is three to four times that of the enemy."

"Secondly, we are not fighting on our own soil, while the enemy is fighting on their own land. Their morale will be high, and they will basically be ready to fight to the death. If we launch a frontal assault, our losses will be extremely heavy."

"But I thought about it, what is it that we have and the other doesn't? In the end, I thought of Yugito and my wife Pakura." Uchiha Izuna smiled and looked at the two of them.

Yugito looked at Pakura, Pakura smiled slightly. Yugito understood, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Jinchūriki!"

"That's right, they are Jinchūriki. We have two Perfect Jinchuriki here, while the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure have either left or gone into seclusion." Uchiha Izuna's eyes lit up, and he stood up.

"Jinchūriki are generally used as strategic weapons of a village, capable of deterring and threatening other countries to a certain extent. However, we have two Jinchūriki on this expedition, and they are only two Kage Level shinobi. I think opening the village gates should be easy. Once the gates are open, our Konoha Ninja will charge in with all their might."

"With Fugaku Susanoo and leading the charge, and Nawaki unleashing Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!" By hypnotizing the enemy with powder, we can take down Kumogakure with minimal effort and subjugate the entire Kumogakure to Konoha! If the battle situation changes, I will also charge forward with Susanoo and fight alongside you all!"Uchiha Izuna slammed his fist on the table, his eyes shining.

Everyone gasped upon hearing this. Breaking down the door, hypnosis, Susanoo clearing the way—he had thought of every step. Was this really Uchiha Izuna, the genius of the Warring States Period who led the Uchiha Clan against the Senju Clan?

They had only rested for less than two hours when they came up with such a perfect plan. Originally, everyone was thinking of either launching a full-scale attack or fighting a war of attrition, but Uchiha Izuna's series of small combos would surely destroy Kumogakure!

"When shall we make our move?" Senju Nawaki stood up, already eager for a fight. Years of training had transformed him from a naive youth into a qualified ninja.

With Yugito always there to protect him, he has now become a perfect Kage Level shinobi. The couple is quite well-known in Konoha.

Uchiha Izuna was naturally aware of their hatred for Yugito, so he smiled and advised them Kumogakure, "It's two or three in the morning, so please go back to sleep now. We'll need your cooperation to launch a surprise attack on Kumogakure!"

After receiving the definite result, Senju Nawaki took Yugito's hand, Yugito Nawaki nodded to Pakura. Then, they went to rest in the tent together.

Because a great battle was about to take place that night, the two slept simply by embracing each other, nothing more. Uchiha Fugaku took his leave and went to arrange for the ninjas to rest and patrol. Pakura knelt in the main tent and drank tea with Uchiha Izuna, discussing where the two would travel after the battle.

Uchiha Izuna smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Wherever we go is fine, as long as my wife is with me."

Pakura blushed, but just snorted and patted his chest.

The two embraced, gazing at the snow-capped mountains outside the tent, smiles on their faces.

Uchiha Kō wiped his sweat. Damn it, how come Iwagakure and Kumogakure are so far apart? He really didn't understand why those two always had to attack each other whenever they fought. Such a long distance, separated by two or three small countries, was it really worth it?

Just then, Sarutobi Shinnosuke handed a pot of water to Uchiha Kō. "Teacher, you've worked hard. Have some water!" he said with a smile.

Uchiha Kō nodded, took the water bottle, thanked him, and gulped down the water. He then wiped his mouth. This was only possible when leading troops into battle. If he were alone, he could simply use the Flying Thunder God to teleport directly to the Kumogakure.

Seeing that there was still a day left to travel, it seemed that the journey to Kumogakure wouldn't be over so soon. "Everyone, let's rest here for now." After saying this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke put away the water bottle and relayed the order.

The ninjas sat down on the ground to rest. Uchiha Kō smiled at this scene, not caring about his image at all, and sat down as well.

The plan to conquer the Ninja World is currently underway, and a quarter of it has already been completed. Looking at the progress bar on the system panel, he smiled. Once he has conquered them all, he can awaken the Eight Inner Gates Formation without any side effects. At that time, even if the Otsutsuki come, he can kick them to death!

Kumogakure

The Fourth Raikage sat restlessly in his office. He asked, "Darui, has Konoha made any moves?"

Darui shook his head. "The guards on the village walls didn't find anything; on the contrary, they said everything was calm. I was quite skeptical, but when I went up to the wall myself, I found it was exactly as the guards said."

The Fourth Raikage frowned. Something was wrong, extremely wrong. The leader of the opposing force was Uchiha Izuna, who had used every trick in the book to beat him and his father horribly last time.

Could he really be content with just a war of attrition this time? That would be disadvantageous for them! In terms of both morale and food, our side far surpasses the enemy. It's just that they can't attack. Once they attack, there will be no way to retreat. In terms of ninja quality, our side is completely outmatched.

He could imagine that if war broke out, the Konoha Ninja might sweep through the village and force them into retreat. And that was just the best-case scenario; in the worst-case scenario, they might storm into the village and seize power.

However, he was very anxious about only defending the city, and worried that the enemy would combine their forces and he would be trapped with no way to escape!

"Darui, have the spies sent to Kirigakure returned?" the Fourth Raikage, A, asked slowly.

Darui nodded.
