Because it is only a local war.
The mobilized combat force is only more than 3,000 people, and there is no need for general mobilization at all. But even so, in addition to ordinary Commoner Ninjas in the village, all major Ninja Clans must also dispatch corresponding combat strength standards according to a certain proportion. This can almost be regarded as a default rule for these Ninja Clans to join when the major ninja villages were established.
The same is true for Uchiha.
However, it is only three thousand in number. Uchiha Clan now has hundreds of adult ninjas working in various positions of Iwagakure. In this battle south, according to the proportion, Uchiha Clan only needs to send more than ten tribesmen to participate in the battle. Originally, according to Third Tsuchikage's intention, Uchiha Clan was not planned to go out. The first reason is because Uchiha Clan has just joined Iwagakure for about three months and needs more time to settle down and recuperate. Ōnoki does not want this to lead to inevitable conflicts between the village and Uchiha Clan. The second reason is because Uchiha Shōji is strong enough, and one person's combat power can rival hundreds of ninjas!
In this battle, Ōnoki had the main dual purpose of teaching Sunagakure a lesson and seizing the origin of 'lanthanum' metal. It also had the intention of cultivating Shōji to contact more Iwagakure Ninja in the village.
If you want to become a movie star, you must be recognized by most people. Shōji, including Uchiha Clan, is still in a rather ambiguous situation in Iwagakure. Third Tsuchikage wants to create a stage and an opportunity for Shōji and Uchiha Clan to better integrate into the village. This is in line with his goals and the interests of the entire Iwagakure!
Shōji himself understands this.
Therefore, I also took the initiative to propose that Uchiha Clan would send a corresponding number of tribesmen to participate in the war. The initiative of the superior is a kind of favor, but the inferior must not be ignorant. It does not mean that both sides should enter a standardized process, but the so-called people respect me and I respect others!
Gratitude and resentment must be clearly distinguished, and we must not take it lightly or be self-righteous!
Moreover, such participation in the war is very conducive to establishing the prestige and trust image of the Uchiha Clan in Iwagakure. Just like the previous war between Konoha and Kumogakure, Shōji proposed that the clan take the initiative to ask for a war, but they were entrusted to someone else. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō still tricked Uchiha Clan into death. They decided that they were right, but people had misunderstood them.
Now that Uchiha Clan has come to Iwagakure, what he needs is this kind of opportunity. Uchiha Clan, who fights for the justice and interests of the village, is more likely to be accepted by the ordinary people in Iwagakure!
Kitsuchi, who originally received the instruction from his father Tsuchikage, did not arrange a quota for the Uchiha Clan in the plan, but after seeing Shōji When insisted, and Ido nodded secretly in private, Kitsuchi nodded in agreement after thinking about it for a while.
This also made Kamizuru Iwatetsu, who was also the deputy commander in the opposite position, look at Shōji, who was less than half his age, with a very solemn expression. At this moment, Iwatetsu truly realized that this famous young man Shinobi World not only had personal strength, but also needed to be taken seriously in terms of measurement and means.
'If I still look at him with the same eyes as before, I will definitely fall into a big trouble in the future! '
Kamizuru Iwatetsu, who still regarded Uchiha Clan as a 'special enemy', looked at Shōji's delicate and childish face and thought silently deep in his heart.
Shōji naturally noticed the slightly strange look in Iwatetsu's eyes, but he didn't care. Unlike the representatives of the Third Tsuchikage first line and the civilian first line, Iwagakure, the wealthy Ninja Clan headed by the Kamizuru Clan, was the most difficult for the Uchiha Clan to accept. The harmonious relationship does not mean that there was any deep hatred in the past, but the natural antagonism between wealthy families. For example, in Konoha and Hyuga Clan, they could not look at each other. This is not only related to the pride of the Ninja Clan itself, but also related to practical interests, especially in today's Iwagakure.
Shōji and Uchiha Clan are obviously valued by Ōnoki. Although they, Ninja Clan, also received a certain degree of compensation and commitment from Ōnoki, 'prejudice' is 'prejudice' and cannot be eliminated so easily.
Shōji and Uchiha Clan currently have no such intention, including Sōgen and Elder Genran, who are now completely unemployed and only manage the internal affairs of the clan. There are Fugaku who feel that the ones their clan needs to get closer to are the Third Tsuchikage series, and there is also the power of the civilian series that anyone in the village can fight for, which can make these people recognize Uchiha Clan.
It already represents that more than 70% to 80% of the "public opinion" in Iwagakure approves of the Uchiha Clan. There is really no need to deliberately sell well to these Iwagakure's inherent wealthy Ninja Clan. One is that it is impossible for the Uchiha Clan to do this. Second, it is 100% foreseeable that it will definitely be a thankless task.
What to do, their family had completely decided on the day they came to Iwagakure, and now every step is progressing steadily according to this step.
"The personnel have been decided in this way. Logistics such as supplies and equipment will normally be gathered within seven days, and the first batch of advance troops will be ready at that time."
"You will lead it, Mr. Shōji!"
The army of three thousand is neither more nor less, and it is impossible to assemble them all at once and then march together. There must still be a vanguard unit to join the border defense forces and launch a surprise attack in the shortest time. It is best to succeed. If not, it can also play the role of first attack and pressure!
Try not to give the opponent a chance to take the lead as much as possible.
Generally speaking, you can take advantage by attacking first, unless the opponent is prepared in advance, and with the current strength gap between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, the probability of directly attacking the fortress is not very low. It can be said that this is an opportunity to take the lead.
Shōji did not expect that Kitsuchi would directly hand it over to him.
Even if there is indeed a certain risk in the vanguard of the first attack, it still depends on who the target is. Today's Iwagakure, really only Rasa, and the two Ebizo and Chiyo who have long been living in seclusion have a certain probability of threatening Shōji.
It is impossible not to mention that these three people would not appear in Northern Fortress at all. Even if they did appear, unless it was a three-person siege, Shōji's advantage would still be very obvious in one-on-one situations.
Chiyo and Ebizo are old.
Rasa is even worse than the previous Third Kazekage.
There is a big question mark over whether or not 'Kage Level' has the strength.
It can be said that this is an arrangement that is likely to be a sweetener.
"!!"
After taking a deep breath, Shōji faced Kitsuchi's serious eyes, nodded heavily and responded Responded: "Yes, Kitsuchi! I will definitely live up to the expectations of Kitsuchi and Lord Tsuchikage!"
