The top management only needs to make decisions.
The people below only need to act according to the established orders. Over the years, in order to cultivate Kitsuchi's abilities in all aspects, Ōnoki has delegated a lot of power to Jōnin Squad. As Tsuchikage, he is only You just need to grasp the big picture issues. The same is true for Southward Strategy this time. After Ōnoki laid out the overall goal, all the remaining plan details were formulated by Kitsuchi and Ido.
It was just a local war, and the opponent was only Sunagakure, the weakest one among Five Great Shinobi Villages. There was almost a qualitative gap between Four Great Shinobi Villages and Four Great Shinobi Villages. Ōnoki was not worried at all. Instead, he had to go all out to be wary of Konoha and Kumogakure's reaction is that not only the two Jinchuriki in the village, but also himself are ready to fight at any time. Unless Konoha and Kumogakure take action, Sunagakure's Northern Fortress and he Ōnoki will be determined!
In the past, it could not be captured due to numerous obstacles and various accidents. This time, with the right time and the right place and all the conditions, Ōnoki was able to completely let go and let Kitsuchi organize the arrangements.
Ido is responsible for the strategic side of Snow Country.
Kitsuchi, Shōji, and Iwatetsu are responsible for going south to attack Sunagakure. The latter is both the main purpose and to cover up the first purpose!
What is real is what is imaginary, what is imaginary is what is real. In this aspect, Ōnoki is very clear about it. As one of the oldest ninjas in Shinobi World, in terms of experience and sense of smell No one can really compare to this Lord Third Tsuchikage, including Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, because they have lost their ability and ability!
Also because the general direction has been set, the three commanders Kitsuchi, Shōji, and Iwatetsu only need to agree on the details of personnel and materials.
Especially the former, Shōji is an exception here. The reason why Iwatetsu is allowed to serve as the deputy commander is naturally because Iwatetsu is not only the leader of the Kamizuru Clan, but also can represent the vast majority of the Ninja Clan in Iwagakure to make corresponding configuration decisions. Unlike Konoha, which is mixed with many large and medium-sized Ninja Clan, Iwagakure really In the true sense, the only Ninja Clan that has a certain reputation is Kamizuru Clan, and the rest are all small and small. Not to mention compared with Konoha, the Yuki Clan, Kaguya Clan, and Hozuki Clan in Kirigakure are far superior to these famous families in Iwagakure. This is why Shōji did not pay much attention to the power of this part of Iwagakure before.
Not only because they can't take the honors at all, but also because their power is really not very strong. Although in terms of quantity, they seem to account for 30 to 40% of Iwagakure's power, there are few high-level figures. The strongest person now is Kamizuru Iwatetsu can barely be regarded as a Elite Jōnin, that is, Ōnoki still maintains the harmonious atmosphere in the village, otherwise it is really difficult for these people to influence the decisions of the village.
Let's not talk about those people below. At least Kamizuru Iwatetsu himself is relatively clear about this. Not to mention that he has never expected higher power and position. Even with the recent incident of the Uchiha Clan joining Iwagakure, they only tentatively opposed it. This is based on Ōnoki's always good 'attitude'.
Otherwise, there will not be any objection at all. The common mentality of these people is to try their best to gain some benefits while holding on to their own one-third of an acre of land. Ōnoki also sees through this. If it is harmless and will not affect the overall situation, Ōnoki generally tends to appease these people, provided they are sensible!
You must never go against the grain on major matters!
This time Southward Strategy is a major event related to the overall interests of the village. Kamizuru Iwatetsu will naturally not do anything stupid at this juncture. He is just a little old-fashioned and stubborn, which does not mean that he is really stupid.
"Then there are these issues next. Iwatetsu-san, are there no problems?"
"Yes, squad leader, please rest assured that everything can be prepared within the specified time limit!"
While Kitsuchi almost followed the village's customs and regulations when issuing orders, Kamizuru Iwatetsu also had a peaceful look on his face and nodded slightly in response to Responded.
"Very good! The plan is settled like this. After everyone returns, they will immediately put into full preparations for the war. In three days, we will officially set off!"
Kitsuchi glanced at the Shōji, Ido, and Iwatetsu people in front of him and said calmly.
"Yes!"
Shōji, Ido, Iwatetsu and others also responded simultaneously to Responded.
Followed by.
After finishing the meeting, Shōji galloped all the way back to his home location. Although this sudden Southward Strategy did disrupt Shōji's next plans and arrangements. Platoon, but this 'accident' is an opportunity for them Uchiha Clan. He will immediately return to discuss with Fugaku, Elder Sōgen, Elder Genran and others in the clan!
It's just that when Shōji just returned to the clan, he met Kogen who came to convey Fugaku's order. It was said that Fugaku, Sōgen, Elder Genran and others were already waiting for Shōji's return at Fugaku's house.
'Eh? wait for me? Did the patriarch and the others already know something in advance? '
Shōji blinked and came to Fugaku's home with a look of confusion.
But what he heard from Fugaku made him very shocked.
"What? Are you saying that you want me to succeed the clan leader?"
At Fugaku's house, Fugaku was already sitting in the study waiting for the arrival of Shōji, as well as Sōgen and Genran, the only remaining members of the family on both sides. The three elders and Chie all focused their attention on Shōji at this moment, while Shōji looked at the four Fugaku opposite with a hint of surprise.
He really didn't expect that the elder of his family would make such a proposal at this time, and the three elders Sōgen, Genran, and Chie all looked solemn and serious.
Shōji's brows were slightly frowned.
"Yes, Shōji, when I left Konoha, I had corresponding thoughts. You are more suitable to be the leader of the Uchiha Clan than me, but the situation was more critical at that time. Later, when I came to Iwagakure, there were still many things to deal with. I also suppressed it for the time being. Now the clan has initially stabilized in the village. I I think it's time, and have discussed it with Elder Sōgen, Elder Genran, and Elder Chie. The three elders also unanimously agreed that you should succeed the position of clan leader, including the following. Kogen, Yashiro, and Inaho are all supportive of you, so don't refuse! Shōji!"
Fugaku knelt on the main seat and said with a very serious tone.
