Shortly after leaving the Senju Clan Compound, the group of seven used Transformation Technique to disguise themselves in other forms.

They continued walking through the dark alleyways, and after passing two streets and confirming that they were not followed, they entered a house.

After rummaging around in the house for a while, Uka Senju opened a hidden door in the Firewood Shed.

The seven people walked along this dark path for some time.

At the end of the path, the seven people appeared in a public place after pushing open the iron gate!

Using the Transformation Technique to change their appearance again, they traveled between underground and above ground three more times.

On the fourth attempt, after pushing aside the debris blocking the tunnel entrance, Uka Senju and her group appeared at the edge of Konoha Barrier!

"Be on alert, wait."

In the darkness of the bushes, Uka Senju whispered instructions to the person beside her.

"Yes!"

The six people who were originally following him immediately disappeared after responding, appearing in various nearby locations to hide and keep watch!

After her subordinates disappeared, Uka Senju restored the things near the tunnel.

He had checked the time before coming up; there were still five minutes until the next barrier fluctuation.

In other words, it will take them five minutes to sneak out of the village without leaving a trace through this gap that was specially left for the fluctuations!

After the Senju clan took control of the Sealing Squad, dozens of gaps appeared in Konoha's barrier, large and small.

But these gaps were almost all under the watchful eyes of the Senju.

There was no way to overcome the Sealing Jutsu, plus the methods those people used were too crude.

Their method of forcibly opening or leaving openings.

To Mito Uzumaki, it was as conspicuous as an ink droplet on a blank sheet of paper!

This is also why, in Senju previous operations, even though the members of the Sealing Squad Sarutobi's side had eliminated their access to information, the Senju were still able to obtain a large amount of intelligence in advance!

And this Clan with a master-level Sealing Jutsu like Mito Uzumaki in charge.

The opening that Senju left in the barrier can withstand inspection by anyone!

Because these openings all have corresponding opening time points, they are not strictly speaking gaps, but merely products of normal fluctuations during the execution of the sealing barrier!

This is also why the Senju Sealing Squad never concealed information, yet Sarutobi's side never managed to obtain any information about the Senju through the Konoha Barrier!

Time ticked by, and soon the five-minute mark arrived.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the previously empty air, but it disappeared completely in an instant!

"Go, 30 seconds!"

After packing her things, Uka Senju, who had been observing the barrier, immediately gave the order after seeing the flash of blue light.

whoosh--

whoosh--

whoosh--

After a few soft, unnoticed sounds, Uka Senju and her group disappeared into the dense forest!

The seven people traveled swiftly by the bright Gekko in the sky.

Of course, due to secrecy and other related needs, they all maintain their disguises Anbu Guard using the Transformation Technique!

After all, running around like this late at night is something this Hokage's direct subordinate unit often does.

Until the moon was high in the sky, casting a silvery veil over the forest below.

After the Transformation Technique was dispelled, Uka Senju six companions finally arrived at the plains camp surrounded by mountains!

"Splash!"

The curtain of the large tent in the center was lifted directly.

They used Chakra to travel for a long time.

Having traversed the forest and looking somewhat disheveled, Uka Senju entered the main tent!

" Lord Uka."

You've arrived!

" Head of the Branch, it's been a long time."

" Lord Uka!"

" Head of the Branch."

"..."

Some stood up to bow, some remained seated and bowed, and some greeted the bowing guests with smiles.

The group of people who had been sitting quietly inside the large tent were now gathered together.

Awakened by the noise at the door, they quickly expressed their different attitudes after seeing who had entered!

Nod, reply, shake hands, pat on the shoulder.

Uka Senju responded to those in the tent who were qualified to attend the meeting with different attitudes towards people of different identities and ages!

The old team departs, and the new team arrives.

However, the new teams were all filled by members of the main force, and the five newly formed teams hidden on the outskirts were all secret agents led by the Senju Clan Members!

This made Uka Senju even more familiar with the people in the tent now!

"Please sit down, please sit down!"

With a smile, Uka Senju walked to the back of the tent and sat down in the spot with the Senju Clan Crest on a white sail.

After everyone was seated, he cleared his throat to signal the start of the meeting and began, "First, I apologize to everyone. I'm about an hour late for this scheduled meeting."

"The reason for my lateness is a minor accident at my home, so please don't worry about it!"

"As far as I know, the plan has been progressing smoothly so far, without any unexpected changes!"

He had just finished explaining why he was late when he noticed several people at the desk secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

This is also why he would waste his breath explaining to everyone before the meeting even started!

His identity and family background are all far too sensitive!

This all-out war was rather hasty, and many people were actually quite uncertain about its outcome.

Adding these two factors together, and considering that many people in the main tent had just been rapidly promoted to Large Unit —a previously high-ranking position—the situation became even more complex.

If Uka Senju hadn't explained it this way, it wouldn't have reassured the troops.

Some young people might scare themselves with their wild thoughts!

After hearing Uka's explanation and the last sentence that everything went smoothly without any unexpected changes, the atmosphere inside the large tent noticeably relaxed!

After a pause, noticing the change in everyone's mood, Uka Senju looked to her right at Kenchū Senju Kenchu, the person she had sent to monitor her, and said, "I just arrived. Tell me, how is the situation?"

"Yes!" he replied, then opened the folder that had always been in front of him.

Looking at the contents, Kenchū Senju reported in a deep voice to the person above him, "With your authorization and in accordance with the Clan's plan, we have completed the handover of the nine new Large Unit in the usual rotation manner, and there are no abnormalities at Sarutobi Camp."

"After the handover, Large Unit Hatake Fūki and I began the reorganization process. Seven of the nine new Large Unit adopted the model of one squad leading one Middle Unit."

"The remaining two new Large Unit will be led by Large Unit Feng Qi's three-man bodyguard team and a twelve-man Logistics team. Of course, before the Logistics team started their duties, all the necessary supplies had already been distributed, and the Logistics warehouse has now been emptied. After an afternoon of work, the respective teams have completed their initial familiarization process!"

"After reorganization, the remaining troops in the camp consist of nine newly formed Large Unit, one main force Middle Unit, one Medical Treatment Middle Unit, three Intelligence Department platoons, your three-person escort platoon, and Battalion Large Unit Hatake Fūki."

After giving a complete report of the statistics in the File, he closed the File and placed it in front of Uka.

After casually flipping through the File and taking a look, along with Kenchū's report, Uka Senju had a rough estimate of the current strength of the camp.

The Clan took away nine Large Unit, and in return, they got nine new Large Unit... It's a real rip-off!

In order to provide these teams with a command framework, the decisive force in his own position had to be reduced from a Large Unit to a Middle Unit.

And in order to prevent the numbers from decreasing further, the Logistics team has to take on the roles of those two decoy Large Unit!

This... is a really drastic nerf!

Turning her gaze away from the File and focusing on the former Logistics captain, now the Large Unit, Uka Senju asked with some doubt, "I'm not worried about the food; there should be enough for one meal tomorrow morning."

"But what about weapons and Military Rations Pill? Do we have enough left in our warehouse to equip nine Large Unit?"

He didn't see any File of the Clan receiving additional supplies, nor of the supplies that were originally in the camp's warehouse.

If I remember correctly, before he went home, he took inventory and thought that equipping four Large Unit would be considered good. How did he end up equipping nine?

Although these teams are newcomers, they will mostly be cannon fodder in tomorrow's battle.

But since they're making people risk their lives in battle, the weapons the Senju can use can't be of poor quality!

If you have good equipment but still can't win, that's because you're bad at the game, but you can't let others go to the Front Line with Kunai.

Otherwise, even if the Senju win, they'll be laughed at to death by their enemies in the Shinobi World!

"My lord, rest assured, all the equipment has been provided according to wartime standards." Upon hearing the chief's almost name-calling question, the Logistics officer, Inuzuka Clan, Jonin and bowed, explaining, "Before these nine Large Unit arrived, their respective Clan warehouses had already equipped them with most of their weapons, Military Rations Pill supplies."

"However, I felt that this camp would be abandoned after tomorrow's battle, so I consulted Lords Feng Qi and Kenchū. After receiving their permission, I opened the warehouse and distributed all the equipment according to the actual needs of the personnel!"

"It's just that the Clan allocated the supplies to individuals, which led to my failure to keep proper records."

"Sir, the corresponding report was not found in the File. This is my oversight, and I request that you punish me accordingly!"

Upon hearing this, Uka Senju narrowed her eyes and glanced around.

Having received confirmation from the two men bowing their heads, he nodded to the Logistics and said, "Understood. This time, time was tight and the task was heavy, so we didn't pay attention to the details. We had to act expediently in an emergency, and you're right about that. I understand. Sit down!"

Weapons and Military Rations Pill are practically Ninja's second life.

He had to be cautious and understand the situation thoroughly!

According to usual practice, these Logistics tasks need to be handled.

Furthermore, he required that the File he reviewed clearly record the specific numbers.

But there were many things to do today, and the Logistics had already given a report.

On the contrary, Kenchū and Fengqi did not clearly indicate this in their reports.

So even if there are mistakes or punishments, it has little to do with the Logistics team leader!

"Yes, sir." Having been tricked by his superior, the Logistics Inuzuka Clan Jonin had no extra emotions. After bowing, he sat back down in his original seat!

The distribution of teams participating in tomorrow's battle has been planned, and there are no Logistics issues.

Uka Senju then turned her gaze to the File in her hand, which contained the action plan for tomorrow morning prepared by Kenchū Senju and Hatake Fūki.

The Clan's overall timeline has been issued, and what they've created is a list of their team's departure time and order, as well as the combat strategy for the teams remaining behind!

After all, the number of people on the opposite Sarutobi Battlefield is also quite large, and most of the people in this camp will be leaving tomorrow.

When to leave, how to leave, and the best way to conceal information are all things that need to be carefully considered!

After a brief glance at the information and considering that there were no problems,

He closed the File and gently tapped the table with his free left finger.

Drawing her subordinates' attention, Uka Senju, facing their gazes, said in a deep voice, "The time, meeting point, and departure order will remain unchanged for now."

" The File will be distributed after the meeting. I hope everyone will strictly follow the requirements!"

"You all know what tomorrow's plan entails. Keep your new recruits in line; I don't want to hear any bad news from you!"

Along with his words, he exuded the aura he had cultivated in recent years while sitting in the main seat, along with the aura accompanying his own strength.

It landed directly on the heads of all the Ninja inside the tent!

As a group that has risen to the upper echelons of society by navigating the life-or-death struggle.

Everyone present had their own unique skill in foreseeing danger!

The goosebumps on their skin made them dare not disregard the words of the white-haired Young Man above them!

And they also understand the importance of planning for tomorrow.

Right now, there isn't a single Commoners Ninja in the tent!

"Yes, sir!" The Ninja, dressed in Combat Uniform bearing the insignia of their respective races, sat on either side of the long wooden table and responded in unison.

With the alarm bells ringing, Uka Senju didn't say anything more about the matter.

After nodding, he looked at everyone and spoke again, "There are many teams tomorrow, and I also need to be on the battlefield in person. The goals set by the Clan have been set, and we are ready to complete them. Now, I will assign each of you your tasks."

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their backs, bowed slightly to the person at the head of the table, and waited silently.

"Our primary target tomorrow is the Uchiha Clan."

Some of the Small Shinobi Clan, who were newly promoted to Large Unit today, were sitting at the back.

Upon hearing that their target was this Clan, their eyes, which had been lowered, widened involuntarily.

But in an instant, their expressions returned to normal, because they remembered who their leader and allies were!

Uka Senju ignored the emotional changes of some of her subordinates. After all, the Uchiha had dominated the Shinobi World for a thousand years, and their prestige was earned through hard work!

These people weren't from the Senju Clan either. If they hadn't joined the Senju Alliance, they probably wouldn't even have had the courage to bare their teeth at the Uchiha!

He took a map out of his Ninja Tool Pouch and, with the help of his subordinates, spread it on the long table.

Standing up, Uka Senju slightly turned her head to look at the Ninja Hatake, who had short silver hair and appeared to be around thirty years old, sitting on the left. She said in a deep voice, "The original plan for the rookie Large Unit was for the seventh team to return to the village to participate in the war. However, due to issues such as combat strength, I have decided to split it in two."
