Time flies and flies by.
One year, for the long Shinobi World history, is just a blink of an eye, but for the people living in the war Uzumaki, it is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.
Senju Chen's life has formed an almost rigid pattern during this year.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrates Konoha's morning mist, the backyard of his mansion will always hear the roar of fine thunder and lightning on time. Lightning Body Tempering Technique has long been played by him. He is no longer simply passively withstanding it, but actively guides thunder and lightning to travel in the body according to specific meridians, tempering every inch of flesh and bone.
During the day, apart from occasionally accompanying Kushina to eat and drink on the street to satisfy this sister's strong appetite, he spent most of his time in the study. The practice of the two volumes of forbidden arts on the soul, [Spirit Transformation Technique] and [Soul Sealing], was also quite effective.
And a new "entertainment activity" has been added to his regular life--go to Strategic Command to "check in".
This "poultry farm" that once shocked him has now become his second study.
"Chen Zhi, you are here."
Senju Chen As soon as he stepped into the headquarters, sharp-eyed analysts immediately greeted him respectfully. For a while, greetings came one after another, and the eyes of those technical geeks who usually have high eyesight still looked at him with enthusiasm.
"Yeah." Senju Chen nodded casually and walked straight to the huge map.
"Chen Zhi, regarding the supply line problem in the eastern sea area of Land of Water, we have encountered trouble." A senior analyst immediately came up and handed over a file, with confusion written on his face, "We have three transport fleets, and within a month, they were continuously harassed by the Kirigakure team in the same sea area, causing heavy losses. We sent people to clear out all the nearby islands, but we couldn't even find the shadow of each other."
Senju Chen took the file and glanced at it. His eyes stayed on the blue sea on the map for a moment, and then he stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on three seemingly unrelated islands.
"The idea is wrong." He said calmly, "Who told you that the base must be on land?"
"Not on land?" The analyst was stunned.
"Go check the ocean current map and tidal patterns in this sea area in the past month." Senju Chen listened to the other party's words and analyzed, "Kirigakure ninjas, especially those who are good at Water Release, are better than you think. They have to be smart. Their base is probably a submarine bubble that moves with the ocean currents and is constructed by a large psychic beast or the special Ninjutsu. These three points are the roundabouts where the ocean currents meet, and are the most likely places for them to resupply and rest."
These words made all the analysts present stunned.
Although I don't understand it very well, I must write it down.
"That's it! It can still be like this!"
"Using ocean currents as cover is a genius idea!"
Seeing those "fanboys" suddenly realizing it, and then excitedly throwing themselves into a new round of deductions, Senju Chen secretly laughed in his heart. What a genius idea, it is just the basic logic of submarine warfare in later generations. Using dimensionality reduction strikes to teach these "war ancients" a lesson, this feeling is indeed not bad.
Just as he was enjoying the pleasure of "becoming a teacher" and was about to turn around and leave, the door inside the headquarters was suddenly pushed open, and a Anbu Ninja, who was responsible for receiving the highest-level confidential information, walked out hurriedly Earth Flow holding a dark scroll, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
The noise in the entire command center disappeared instantly.
Everyone knows that this kind of scroll sent by the psychic must contain shocking information that can change the direction of the war.
Shikaku Nara didn't know when he had sat up from his recliner. He took the scroll, and his eyes, which were always awake, were shining with light at this moment.
Senju Chen also walked over. As the deputy commander, he has the authority to read all levels of intelligence.
When Shikaku Nara slowly unfolded the scroll, the few lines of words on it were like thunder.
[Kirigakure Third Mizukage encountered the elite troops led by Uchiha Fugaku in the offshore sea of Land of Whirlpools. After a fierce battle, Third Mizukage was killed. The body has been recovered and confirmed by our side.]
"Boom!"
Senju Chen does remember that Third Mizukage of Kirigakure died in Third Shinobi World War, but he really doesn't remember how he died.
Unexpectedly, it was Uchiha Fugaku who led someone to kill him.
Is this old man so "seedy"?
In his memory, Uchiha Fugaku, a man who had been labeled "indecisive" all his life, finally chose to betray his son on the night of the genocide and died tragically.
Didn't expect that he would have such a shocking record?
Killing a strong Kage Level! This is a great achievement that can be compared with Sannin's achievements!
Senju Chen's mind flashed back to that night in Senju's mansion a year ago.
Uchiha Fugaku's deep eyes and that powerful declaration of alliance.
"I, Uchiha Clan, can be your most solid backing and help you get to that position with all my strength."
So... is that so?
Senju Chen understood instantly. This was not only a successful beheading operation, but also an extremely weighty certificate of submission to Konoha!
Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch who was criticized by countless people in later generations, used an irrefutable victory to declare the power and value of the Uchiha Clan to the entire Konoha, to all senior officials, and even to him Senju Chen!
He Uchiha Clan is not just the Konoha Police Force who needs to be "comforted" and "beware", but the Optimus Prime who can decide the direction of the war!
Senju Chen Looking at the battle report in front of him, he is really awesome, and he is really eye-catching.
But "Brother Fugaku", you are so awesome, how can you let others surpass you?
The battle report says that the Uchiha Clan chiefs are all members of your Uchiha Clan. Even if you call my teacher Orochimaru on board, or bring two Sarutobi Clan people to fight with you, you will be better than you are now.
Don't worry about Konoha High Command's attitude towards you Uchiha. If you mention it, you don't want to mention it. If you don't mention it, it can't be justified.
When others can't surpass you in battle, the rest can only suppress you.
Even my surname Senju was "transferred" back, let alone you.
Think about the previous "Konoha's White Fang"...
"Hey, Uchiha wants to save face." Senju Chen sighed helplessly.
In this year, Shinobi World has been turbulent.
Minato Namikaze relied on Flying Thunder God Technique to appear on the battlefield and gained the prestigious reputation of "Yellow Flash", which even caused major ninja villages to issue instructions to "abandon the mission if encountering Yellow Flash".
The good guys even called him "Konoha's Twin Flashes" and his "Black Lightning" back then.
I can only say that although I am far away from the world, my legend is still circulating in the world, hehehe. Senju Chen thought secretly.
Shisui Uchiha also earned the name "Body Flicker Shisui" with its miraculous skills of Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu.
Kitsuchi, the son of Ōnoki of Iwagakure, although Iwagakure has been beaten, Ōnoki, the son, also performed well in the war, showing his strong Earth Release ability and commanding ability.
There are also Kumogakure, AB Combo, etc. Countless geniuses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and it was these same heroes who pushed this war into a more tragic situation.
But all these talents are eclipsed by the four words "Kill Mizukage".
"Clan Head Fugaku... Your move really... gave Konoha a big problem." Senju Chen looked at the position of Land of Whirlpools on the map and muttered to himself.
He could imagine what kind of storm it would cause when the news spread throughout Shinobi World. He could also imagine what wonderful expressions the old guys Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and Utatane Koharu would have at the Konoha High Command meeting.
Uchiha Fugaku, in the most direct and violent way, dropped a blockbuster on Konoha's power chessboard.
But as everyone knows, Uchiha Clan is getting further and further away from the center of power.
