Konoha's Strategy

Shingen was lucky; he discovered a batch of ready-made Impure World Reincarnation during a mission, and one of them happened to be Uchiha Clan.

If this is luck, she's willing to call Uchiha Shingen the strongest Ninja World.

If this wasn't luck... then the Hokage should belong to the Uchiha Clan.

In contrast, she's willing to believe it was just luck.

"Shingen, your luck is just too good." Pakura said this sincerely to Uchiha Shingen.

"Yes..." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "How can someone be so lucky?"

That despicable Uchiha Kei, he actually managed to pull off the trick in the end.

After fighting for so many years, he was the one who lost in the end.

Accurate.

But Uchiha Shingen decided to forgive.

After all, Uchiha Kei was Kagami Uchiha's uncle, and Uchiha Shisui was Kagami Uchiha's descendant.

Since your descendant helped me take over an S-rank mission, I'll let you show off for a bit!

"What kind of Ninjutsu is Ninjutsu?" Pakura asked.

"A technique that enhances form transformation," Uchiha Shingen explained, "But it's quite powerful."

Kagutsuchi and Amaterasu are a perfect match; in the original timeline, Uchiha Sasuke was the only Uchiha Clan to possess both of these Dōjutsu.

I really don't know about this timeline.

Even Uchiha Itachi doubted whether Uchiha Shingen Mangekyo Sharingan.

But that's not important.

If Mangekyo Sharingan is applied to the wrong person, it's better not to have one at all.

The two sped along, and no Cloud Ninja appeared along the way, perhaps because the Leaf Village Ninja Army had the upper hand.

The answer will be revealed soon.

As the two left the mountains, they began to encounter signs of a battle.

They also saw ninjas who had died in battle.

In general, there are more Cloud Ninja than Konoha Ninja.

They also began to encounter ninjas.

If you encounter Cloud Ninja, you'll definitely attack them without hesitation.

They encountered Konoha Ninja, and after verifying their identities, they went their separate ways.

During this process, the two also gained a general understanding of the battle situation.

The main forces of the Cloud Ninja Army and the Leaf Village Ninja Army had their first encounter. With the cover of his team, Jiraiya to activate Sage Mode without any obstacles and charged into the Cloud Ninja's ranks, unleashing a devastating attack.

Until it was blocked by the Fourth Raikage.

The first conflict was brief, and both sides quickly withdrew their troops.

Despite suffering losses in this battle, the main force of the Cloud Ninja, despite having a numerical advantage, did not suffer a significant defeat.

However, the Cloud Ninja's scout force was overwhelmed by the Leaf Village. Lacking a numerical advantage, the Cloud Ninja were constantly suppressed by the Leaf Village in battles at the ninja squad level.

The Leaf Village ninja army retreated back to Hidden Hot Water Village, and the Cloud Ninja also retreated.

Uchiha Shingen believed that the Cloud Ninja Army must have discovered that their supply lines were in trouble.

The situation in South Gate City will soon be known to the Cloud Ninja army. He needs to send this news back to Hidden Hot Water Village as soon as possible and take this opportunity to give the Cloud Ninja army a hard blow.

Uchiha Shingen and Pakura quickened their pace.

Finally, before sunset, they saw the walls of Hidden Hot Water Village.

After verifying his identity and entering the village, Uchiha Shingen went straight to Jiraiya's "office".

Pushing open the door, a white-haired Toad Sage sat at his desk, looking like a middle-aged man experiencing a midlife crisis.

"Lord Jiraiya."

"Hmm? Shingen, welcome back." Jiraiya seemed a little sleepy.

However, the fleeting sadness in his eyes proved that this Kage Level was not truly without spirit.

"You must be tired from your journey. Go back and rest early. You don't need to report to me." He waved his hand lazily. "Go soak in the hot springs. The hot springs here are quite nice."

"No, Lord Jiraiya, I have important information." Uchiha Shingen had already prepared his speech, and then he recounted the events of South Gate City in one breath.

During this process, Jiraiya's mental state changed from wanting to pick his nose to wanting to slap himself.

"The fortress is gone?" The man's eyes widened.

"Yes."

"Did you discover the sealed Impure World Reincarnation? Or was it left behind by the village's elders?"

"Yes, but that's not important, Lord Jiraiya. The Cloud Ninja's military supplies won't be replenished anytime soon."

"No, Shingen, this is important!" Jiraiya stood up with a "whoosh," about to say something, when he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was an Uchiha Clan.

Although Jiraiya had no prejudice against the Uchiha Clan, he knew that there were some things that were not suitable to say to the Uchiha Clan.

He had heard it from the old man.

There was such a person who was an important figure in Hidden Leaf Village during the Second Hokage's era, and Shimura Danzō.

He was also the acting principal of the Ninja Academy at the time.

He was also a hero of Hidden Leaf Village, who sacrificed himself in the First Shinobi World War. His specialty was the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.

And he died right there at the foot of the South Gate City.

"Have you found the remains of that village elder?" Jiraiya asked.

"No."

Want my remains? Dream on! Even the Cloud Ninja didn't get them, you're dreaming!

Having spent half his life digging graves, how could he possibly allow anyone else to have the chance to retrieve his remains!

He placed the final wave of Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags on his own body.

"Really not?" Jiraiya kept asking, clearly concerned.

"There never was." Uchiha Shingen impatiently.

This is Hokage, are you planning to change careers? Not writing erotic novels anymore, but "Tomb Raider Paradise"?

If you don't rush to my grandma's house, I'll livestream myself playing through the whole thing three times!

"Is that so...? No, there isn't any..." Jiraiya decided to go to the South Gate City to look for it after the battle was over.

If Senju Muzoku were to leave behind a body, that would not be something to be treated lightly.

At the very least... it cannot fall into the hands of any ninja clan.

Of course, from his personal perspective, he hoped that the Senju Muzoku body could return to its hometown and be buried in Leaf Village decades later.

"I understand. In that case, the strategy against the Cloud Ninja needs to be changed."

Jiraiya became serious.

"Shingen, go and inform the Uchiha Clan. We need to have a meeting."

"Shouldn't we attack now?" Uchiha Shingen felt there was no need for that.

Why hold a meeting? Just start marching and beat them so badly they won't even recognize their own mothers.

He was ready to eat the meatballs right away.

"A little more time won't make a difference; we must make the most of this opportunity." Jiraiya seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, "If we rush things, we'll give ourselves away. This will be the final battle!"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Leaf Village's Strategy

As a veteran Leaf Village player, Jiraiya believed he knew the Cloud Ninja very well.

The Kumogakure has a high tolerance for battle losses, but it is also very weak.

Their high capabilities stem from their genuine fearlessness in tough battles, while their low capabilities arise from the fact that the benefits of their wars must cover the costs; once the costs exceed the benefits, they are unable to continue fighting.

The people below will start to cause trouble.

Uchiha Shingen destroyed South Gate City with the legacy of Senju Muzoku and killed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Regardless of how much of Senju Muzoku's legacy he obtained, this victory will certainly deal a major blow to the fighting spirit of the Cloud Ninja.

The loss of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is a fundamental loss.

However, the Cloud Village leadership will definitely suppress this news, and then use revenge as a pretext to further increase troops, expand the scale of the war, and even cooperate with the Rock Ninja to force the Land of Fire to negotiate peace and recover losses through war reparations.

Therefore, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki will definitely be sent to the front line, because Leaf Village has never had a precedent of using Jinchūriki in battle.

As the ultimate weapon on the battlefield, the power of the Jinchūriki is undeniable.

Fortunately, although Leaf Village's Jinchūriki do not leave the village, they have always had giant summoning beasts.

But meetings still need to be held. It's not like the Warring States period, where you can just stand at the village entrance and shout "For the tribe!" and everyone will grab their weapons and gather a mob to fight.

Moreover, Uchiha Shingen's contribution this time was immense; Leaf Village hadn't seen such a devastating attack in many years.

Youth is ultimately an asset; if you're a veteran Kage Level, you'll be closely watched and won't have this kind of opportunity.

From this day forward, Uchiha Shingen will be closely watched by all the ninja villages; he will no longer remain unknown.

To utilize the legacy of the Senju Muzoku, one must be at the Kage Level. The Senju Muzoku Technique isn't something just anyone can master.

The legacy itself will also be a problem, as there will be many old men coveting it, not just in Leaf Village, but even more in other villages.

No one believed that anyone would not keep the inheritance sealed after obtaining it.

Those were the most outstanding people at the end of the Warring States period. Their mastery of Ninjutsu was enough to create the sixth village in the Ninja World on the spot.

This isn't going to be easy; there will be a lot of arguing about it later.

It remains to be seen whether the Uchiha Clan can withstand it.

Although he said he wasn't in a hurry, Jiraiya acted swiftly, and the meeting was convened quickly.

He first announced the news at the meeting.

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

The Jonin came from a commoner background, was shocked by the extraordinary result, but the Jonin of the ninja clan were more concerned with the legacy.

Those are Senju Muzoku!

After Uchiha Madara left Leaf Village, he and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, were the ones who held real power in Leaf Village, one openly and the other covertly.

Shimura Danzō just a shameless "dark ninja," only his methods were a bit shady. Everyone should criticize and condemn him as they see fit, and if we have concrete evidence, we can kill him directly.

But Senju Muzoku... In the village, only Senju Tobirama can insult him. Try having anyone else insult him!

Otherwise, if that scumbag had been chasing girls all over the village, would everyone have just watched?

Do you really think ninja girls are so easy to pick up? You think you can just flirt with them and then finish them off with a slap?

People would rather he be the "scumbag with the Senju Clan" than see him revert to the "Evil of the Forest" from their memories.

"Shingen- kun, those... those Impure World Reincarnation, not a single one survived?" a Jonin asked Uchiha Shingen.

"What else? Invite them to Hidden Hot Water Village for a bath?" Uchiha Shingen retorted.

This wasn't a great attitude, but no one seemed to mind.

After all, having made such a great contribution, being questioned about it must be quite unpleasant.

But I still have to ask.

During the Warring States period, everyone was wicked, their consciences were gone, landlords went bankrupt, warriors wandered, the strong preyed on the weak, and starving people were everywhere.

The various ninja clans fought each other for years, leaving corpses strewn across the land. Among the Senju of the Forest, one man lost his brothers, parents, and even his lover. By the time everyone finally noticed him, he had already grown from an ordinary, unknown Senju Clan into the ultimate evil of the Senju of the Forest.

He was known as having Senju Muzoku.

After the village was built, he suddenly changed his personality and began pursuing love.

Such a wonderful thing, anyone who tries to stop it must be hung on a flagpole as a sacrifice to the heavens.
