As the shadow of the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi must be in charge of the village in the early stages of the war.
On the one hand, it is to prevent changes in the village, and on the other hand, it is also to coordinate and arrange military deployment on multiple fronts.
Unless the war escalates to a certain level, the war is urgent or there are any special circumstances that require him to take action.
The reason why he ended up so quickly is that, firstly, the Sunagakure army invaded the border of Land of Fire, and secondly, the situation of Sunagakure was rather special and Kazekage was missing.
Therefore, Sarutobi wants to make a quick decision and stabilize the battlefield on this border as soon as possible.
But - he didn't expect that without the leadership of Kazekage, this generation of Sunagakure army would be so difficult to deal with.
The style on the battlefield is completely different from the past. It is dominated by tactics and opens up a new situation with new industries.
Even his battle-hardened Hokage suffered defeats one after another.
But time dragged on until now, and he had to leave the show and return to the village.
Sunagakure suddenly broke into his house, making him uneasy.
Because--he was not sure whether Sunagakure maintained some contact with other villages".
If this information is leaked to other villages - Konoha will be in a very bad situation.
Sunagakure is currently fighting against Konoha and Iwagakure, but it is unknown what position Kumogakure and Kirigakure will take when facing Sunagakure.
Shinobi World's situation is inherently complicated. There is no such thing as permanent enemies. Everyone is trying to pull each other down and add insult to injury. One second they are enemies, and the next second they may become friends."
In the dispute between Five Great Shinobi Villages, if one of them can lose power first, this is undoubtedly a situation that the other four companies are happy to see.
As for Uchiha and Hyuga Clan.
As Konoha's special blood family, it has a great reputation.
The situation is quite special - before the war situation becomes tense, Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to make these two families stand still.
Because Uchiha and Hyuga have special eye skills, their heirs have been coveted by some forces of Shinobi World--
Konoha needs to take some protection and precautions against this. Not only the village, but also the two major families themselves are avoiding this risk.
As long as people from these two families step onto the battlefield, they will never be alone or two, but at least they will form a small team.
This is to ensure that once someone dies, the body can be recovered immediately by the family to prevent their eyes from being "obtained by other villages."
Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi has tried his best to stay on the battlefield for a while, stabilizing some variables in the battle with Sunagakure--
And once he, Hokage, leaves, it is unknown what actions the Sunagakure army will take next.
Even he, Hokage, feels that it is in trouble - then, Uchiha and Hyuga Clan must be dispatched in advance to ensure that after he leaves, the Konoha army can still maintain a certain advantage.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Sarutobi looked at Kazuto.
Kazuto nodded.
"Try not to let Sunagakure know about my departure. Even in the army, don't mention it to the people below. The later the Sunagakure can react, the better. This will make the enemy mistakenly think that I am still on the battlefield, and they will not dare to act easily."
Sarutobi sighed.
"I understand."
Sarutobi thinks well.
But when Hyuga Clan's Byakugan and Uchiha Clan's Sharingan appeared on the battlefield a few days later, Yubi immediately knew that the old man Sarutobi had withdrawn.
Inside the medical team's camp.
Yubi looked at the several injured Sunagakure lying in the tent, being anxiously treated by medical ninjas and in critical condition, with a cold look in his eyes.
"This is the heaviest casualty in the small-scale conflict between us and Konoha since the battle began - more than fifty people were dispatched in total, and only six people survived -" Arai, who was standing aside, spoke in a heavy tone.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was not right before, they Sunagakure could still retreat.
But now, with Byakugan and Sharingan--Sunagakure, it is not that difficult to run.
"Hyuga Clan and Uchiha--" Arai murmured quietly.
During the last Shinobi World war, Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan frequently performed meritorious deeds for Konoha on the battlefield, because as long as Byakugan was around, they would be useless to the team. For Wu, it is equivalent to opening up the whole map - the enemy's ambush, hiding position, and movement trajectory will be clearly seen by Byakugan. As an enemy, when facing Hyuga Clan, it is equivalent to fighting blindfolded.
In this case, the significance of the tactics will be greatly reduced and the effect will almost be lost.
As for Uchiha and Sharingan, not to mention, with these eyes, the individual soldier's combat effectiveness will be comprehensively "strengthened."
Moreover--Uchiha Clan's reputation on the battlefield is no joke.
The probability of surviving the opponents they encountered was quite small.
As the famous Uchiha Clan in Shinobi World, the outside world has long understood their temperament - arrogant, strong, and fierce. In their eyes, even Byakugan, who is also the blood heir of Konoha, is not as noble as their Sharingan.
Their record in Shinobi World is indeed worthy of their reputation.
In other words, not to mention the ninjas from other villages, even Konoha's own ninja - Uchiha may not look down upon them.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi is gone--"
Yubi took action personally and used the reversal technique to treat several injured people.
He said something.
"Could it be a scam?"
Arai said suspiciously.
"Impossible - with the current pressure Konoha is facing, Hokage must return to the village to deal with various matters. If others have not left, they will not easily mobilize the manpower of these two families. Besides, the battlefield situation here is currently advantageous for Konoha - there is no need to add extra troops. They are still members of these two families -"
"The only explanation is that he wants to rely on the Hyuga and Uchiha families to fill the lack of combat power after he left, so that Konoha can continue to maintain its victory over us." Yubi said calmly.
In just two sentences, the breath of Sunagakure who was treated by him gradually stabilized - and the wound healed in a short time.
"Such a ruthless attack - it seems to be Uchiha Clan's handiwork."
Yubi sneered.
What does it mean?
Want to give them Sunagakure a kick?
What a unique way to appear, so majestic!
Among the Konoha army, the only one he fears is Hokage.
Now that Hokage is gone - he and Scorpion can completely let go.
"Uchiha--hehe--interesting."
Yubi murmured playfully.
He has admired this name for a long time.
"Send someone to meet with Kumogakure's informants and tell them the news of Hokage's retreat from here." Yubi said.
"Okay."
Arai turned and left.
"No wonder Hyuga and Uchiha didn't participate in the first battle - firstly, they thought it was unnecessary, and secondly, they wanted to wait until the battle situation stabilized before deploying these two aces. The battlefield situation is not that complicated, and the risk of losing these two blood inheritances can be avoided to the greatest extent."
Yubi An idea flashed across his mind.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi thinks so--
In his opinion, that turned out to be a good thing.
Hokage seems to have thought a little too much, and instead greatly underestimated his own deterrent effect on himself and Scorpion.
Sarutobi is here, it's hard for him to do anything.
The old man is not here--if only Byakugan and Sharingan could be brought back to the village--
Yubi narrowed his eyes.
This is not like Kumogakure in later generations, who robbed Hinata in order to get Byakugan.
As if they Sunagakure acted or planned intentionally.
Instead, it became part of the price of war for Konoha.
And the blue of Kirigakure gets Byakugan, which is the same property.
In addition, according to my own plan, as this Shinobi World war becomes more and more intense, it is not impossible to make use of the village's pharmaceutical resources for some operations.
You know, by the time Third Shinobi World War fought to the end, Konoha had almost reached its lowest strength, to the point where there was almost no one available--
We even have to let the younger generation who just graduated from the Ninja Academy take over. This is not the experience behind the battlefield or the so-called training0
Instead, he has to personally participate in frontline combat, which is different from the situation during the last Shinobi World war.
"I'd like to see it--Uchiha Clan, don't let me down--"
Yubi.
