The Final Offensive Before Returning to the Village!

After seeing Sanjie off, Uchiha Makoto picked up the list of seriously injured people to be repatriated from the table and began to look at it.

Just like when they came, the seriously wounded who were no longer able to fight had to be taken back to the village for better treatment when they returned.

Generally speaking, these are duties within Uchiha Fugaku's authority, and Uchiha Makoto cannot interfere.

However, there are some special groups on this repatriation list, whom Uchiha Fugaku has no jurisdiction over— the medical-nin of Konoha Second Hospital.

As a hospital built with the support and resources of Uchiha Makoto, everything was constructed by him.

Even if Uchiha Makoto brings them to the battlefield now, Konoha has no right to interfere!

Even Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan Head, was no exception!

And so, all of this fell on Uchiha Makoto's shoulders.

Should we take them back?

Uchiha Makoto looked at the question and fell silent for a moment.

Of course, this silence was directed at Uchiha Fugaku.

Are they going to leave over two hundred medical-nin here as a "newbie gift" for the new Konoha commander instead of taking them back?

No matter how you look at it, these were all his retainers, the kind of people who weren't on Konoha's ninja roster!

Uchiha Fugaku then asked him, "Are you going to take them back?"

"Did I go too far in disciplining them last time? Now they can't even solve these simple problems!"

Uchiha Makoto was starting to question his existence. He could understand Sanjie becoming so humble earlier, but now even Uchiha Fugaku so subserviently?

You're all still using the Mangekyō Sharingan, and you were even stronger when you had Mitsudomoe than you are now.

"Wrong!"

Uchiha Makoto narrowed his eyes, realizing that things were not so simple.

"These guys are probably so humble because they've discovered that my Mangekyō Sharingan has evolved!"

"When they awaken their Mangekyō Sharingan, they will definitely communicate privately or consult ancient books to look up previous Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Leaving aside others, Uchiha Fugaku definitely has detailed information on all aspects of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Uchiha Makoto thought about it and felt that everything made sense.

"They must have discovered that their eye power is different from the previous Mangekyō Sharingan; their eye power can be restored."

"And in the history of the Uchiha, only Madara Uchiha was able to regain his eye power!"

"They've discovered the power of 'Dan.' Whether they want to curry favor with me or fear my eyes—which far surpass their own—they've become so reserved, just like they are now."

Uchiha Makoto remained silent for a moment, then considered another possibility.

"Or is it that Sanjie is worried I'll get angry, Uchiha Fugaku is worried I'll take his position as clan leader, so they're deliberately showing weakness to me?"

Uchiha Makoto lowered his eyes, dismissing all of this from his mind.

"So what..."

"In any case, they are nothing."

"They're here! Reinforcements have arrived!"

A joyful shout echoed across the Mist Ninja front.

At his call, many ninjas began to rally their friends and comrades to welcome the first batch of reinforcements.

The same applies to Uchiha Makoto and others.

Having already been informed by the other side, the neatly dressed commanders of the Mist Ninja Front line lined up to welcome their new commander.

At the same time, a large support team also arrived here.

Elites from various clans and Jonin walked at the head of the procession, followed by the Genin who had been transferred from other clans.

From the woods in front of the Konoha camp to the command tent, both sides were lined with ninjas who had come to provide support.

Their numbers are definitely no less than the current number of ninja on the Mist Ninja front!

Approximately three thousand ninjas.

It is worth mentioning that a small number of the reinforcements included members of the Hyuga Clan.

Uchiha Makoto in the Uchiha ranks, became intrigued as he watched the reinforcements leader deliberately slow his pace.

"It seems this person who trusts the Mist Ninja commander is trying to climb over us to get ahead!"

Uchiha Makoto spoke, he turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Uchiha Fugaku didn't care at all.

"Just a grasshopper in autumn, it won't last long."

Uchiha Makoto's lips curled slightly; he was quite satisfied with the answer.

Soon, the new commander arrived with his men, beaming with joy.

The donors were dressed smartly and beamed with joy, while the recipients were weary from their journey and overjoyed!

The contrast between the two is simply too obvious.

"I am Sarutobi Hashirama!"

The leader extended his hand, his face beaming as if he were a wealthy young master who had come to offer his condolences.

Behind him were Kimori Ichirō and the others, most of them with worried expressions, some even looking at them pleadingly!

Standing at the front of the group Uchiha Makoto watched them quietly with a formulaic smile on his face.

They showed absolutely no intention of reaching out.

"Sarutobi Hashirama? Who is Hiruzen Sarutobi to you?"

Uchiha Makoto spoke slowly and deliberately, completely ignoring the frozen body of Sarutobi Hashirama in front of him.

He didn't believe that the man in front of him was really the "rich young master" he appeared to be. Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't that confused!

"The Lord Hokage is like an uncle to me."

Sarutobi, Shinnosuke the alias "Sarutobi Hashirama," chuckled and subtly withdrew his hand.

Having always worked in the Anbu, he didn't care about any of that.

Uchiha Makoto glanced at him, then turned and led the group of Uchiha into the command tent.

"Come in!"

Not only him, but the other Uchiha also wisely followed closely behind Uchiha Makoto, leaving Sarutobi, the Shinnosuke commander, at the back.

It's just a show of force, anyone can do that!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of those behind him, Sarutobi Shinnosuke walked stiffly into the main tent.

Inside the main tent, Uchiha Makoto looked at the newly appointed commander, who had nowhere to sit, without making any comment.

The struggle had already begun before we even returned to the village!

Uchiha Makoto was a participant, and he simply let things take their natural course.

Anyone who tries to stop him, he'll hit them!

"Commander Sarutobi, take a look at this repatriation list!"

Uchiha Makoto waved his hand, and Sanjie immediately handed the document in his hand to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"After all, you are the commander of this Mist Ninja front; these matters require your approval!"

Uchiha Makoto watched with interest Shinnosuke Sarutobi's expression grew increasingly serious, awaiting his reply.

"Uh, sending so many medical-nin back to the front lines at once will probably have a huge impact on them!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned, his tone becoming more forceful.

"I cannot approve!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Uchiha Makoto with unwavering determination.

"Even if they are all my retainers, is that not allowed?"

Uchiha Makoto's words seemed to carry a plea.

"They are needed here!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's answer was firm and resolute.

"All right!"

Uchiha Makoto sighed, looking like he had given in.

"Now let's talk about our final attack before we leave here!"

"Ah?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was instantly surprised. He was about to leave but was still making contributions? That's not Uchiha!

"When?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked tentatively.

"Now, of course!"

Uchiha Makoto spoke, everyone had already left the tent in an orderly fashion, leaving only four people behind, three of whom Mangekyō Sharingan...
