Uchiha Takashi had already provided a solution to this situation.
Why not just establish two armies? One army could consist of Uchiha and other ninjas, while the other army could be composed entirely of ordinary people.
In other words, it means forming a samurai army. Indeed, ninjas could easily overpower ordinary people.
However, all the ninjas from the Land of Fire have gathered here. The main force of the Uchiha is tied up here, and so are the Senju and their foes.
The Senju Clan didn't have ordinary villages under their control, so they didn't notice it, but the Uchiha did.
Uchiha Takashi had already planned ahead: to build a samurai army, then use that army to conquer other towns in the Land of Fire, thereby expanding the Uchiha's power.
To put it bluntly, after the founding of the nation, relying solely on a ninja army would be too small and unsustainable. After all, the number of people is limited, and the Land of Fire is so vast—how could they possibly maintain complete control?
Therefore, the best solution is to establish a national samurai army. The Uchiha fight the Senju, and the national samurai army Land of Fire. Perfect!
Uchiha Takashi immediately pulled out his pre-prepared plan for establishing samurai.
The normal system, with its five chiefs, ten chiefs, centurions, and so on, is too complicated for Uchiha Takashi... let's change it!
The army directly imitated the modern system, with its structure consisting of corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads. Above the corps, there were also war zones.
The rank system was designed entirely according to modern standards; however, since there was no need for technical or special branches, there were no non-commissioned officers, only officers.
The rank insignia of the various officers were slightly modified by Uchiha Takashi.
Private: It's just a simple Uchiha Gunbai, nothing changed. For Private Level 2, just add one more, and the two overlap.
A second lieutenant has a single bar and a One-Tomoe Sharingan. For each subsequent lieutenant rank, an additional tomoe is added.
Then there are the colonel-level officers, with parallel bars and Two-Tomoe Sharingan; everything else is the same as for the lieutenant-level officers, and so on.
Finally, the generals were identified by removing all the horizontal bars and directly displaying their identities using the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Major General: One Mitsudomoe; Lieutenant General: Two Mitsudomoe; General: Three Mitsudomoe
According to Uchiha Takashi's plan, after six months of receiving refugees from all directions, the total population of Uchiha Village had reached an astonishing 150,000!
This naturally includes the Uchiha Clan and the Chinoike Clan.
After the performance ended, many commoners from the Hyuga Clan and Shimura Clan were also relocated here.
Uchiha Takashi mobilized approximately 4,500 men as the first batch of troops for construction, following standard war mobilization procedures. This amounted to roughly four regiments and five companies, which could be considered a brigade; the number was not large.
However, while samurai were more common than ninjas in this era, they weren't actually that common. Most of the time, there weren't many samurai within the military.
Even in the wealthy Land of Fire, an entire army couldn't consist of armored warriors; the majority were actually conscripted farmers.
However, Uchiha Takashi was very wealthy and provided all 4,500 men with a full set of armor and equipment. Therefore, in reality, almost every one of Uchiha Takashi's 4,500 men was equipped with samurai-level gear, which was quite a lot.
Uchiha Takashi's requirements weren't high; he just wanted to be able to easily defeat the Land of Fire's army.
Among these 4,500 people, there were no Uchiha or other commoners from ninja clans. After all, these were potential ninjas, not ordinary people to be squandered like commoners.
However, the key issue is that this army has not been established for very long. The plan was proposed two months ago, and the army was established a month ago. All told, the army has only been training for a month.
According to normal military training schedules, an army trained in just one month can hardly be considered an elite force. After all, according to the plan, it takes at least six months for an army to take shape.
The training alone, including formation drills and combat, requires a considerable amount of time; six months is a conservative estimate. If one aims for even greater elite status, the time can be extended indefinitely, potentially leading to physical sanctification.
Uchiha Takashi didn't intend to send these poorly trained troops to their deaths on the battlefield, at least not now.
They still have time. Even if the Senju Clan now has the support of the Land of Fire, all they and the Uchiha can do is stand their ground.
After all, the Uchiha's military strength was the same as the Senju Clan's on paper, and the Senju didn't intend to completely crush the Uchiha militarily.
All they wanted to do was to trap the Uchiha here, cutting off all resources and supplies, until the Uchiha out.
Regarding this, the Uchiha thought it was naive, a truly naive idea...
"Clan leader, everything is ready. We can announce it to the entire Shinobi World at any time," a Uchiha clansman wearing a newly designed Uchiha military uniform walked in.
The new military uniform design features a form-fitting silhouette, and given that most Uchiha are slender and tall, the new Uchiha perfectly accentuates their physique.
The new military uniform consists of both inner and outer garments. The inner garment fits the entire body, with a restrictive design at the cuffs, but the overall fit is relatively loose.
The cuffs of the outer garment remain the same, but the overall fit is more restrictive, adhering closely to the body to ensure that the clothing does not hinder combat.
As for what this Uchiha clansman was talking about, it was naturally the Uchiha's declaration of establishing a nation.
Although it was common knowledge that the Uchiha had rebelled and established a nation, it had never been officially declared.
Therefore, Uchiha Takashi had already given orders to make preparations, and now, the preparations are complete. The Uchiha Clan is about to establish a nation unique to the Uchiha on the territory they currently possess!
Throughout the entire Naruto clan, establishing a nation is not a particularly unusual event. After all, the Uzumaki Clan also established its own country, which existed for quite some time.
However, in this era of the mid-Warring States period, when all the major clans are still fighting to the death, the sudden emergence of such a freak as the Uchiha is quite unusual.
"Is everyone here?" Uchiha Takashi straightened his collar. Since they were going to establish a nation, as the clan head, he naturally wouldn't continue wearing his old clothes.
"Don't worry, clan leader, everyone has arrived, even the newly formed army!" The Uchiha clansman's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.
After all, this was a momentous event, the first time the Uchiha had stood at the level of the Shinobi World, not just a single family!
The announcement was made outside the Uchiha headquarters, in a large, cleared area capable of accommodating thousands of people—perfect for the Uchiha Clan and all their troops to attend.
Of course, the troops currently on missions or stationed at the front lines were not mobilized; they were merely troops in a state of rest, simply brought in to boost morale.
Uchiha Takashi stepped to the center of the platform and slowly took out the Uchiha Gunbai.
In an instant, drums resounded all around. Uchiha Takashi slowly opened his arms, looked up at the sky. " Uchiha! We will stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World! The Land of Light is established!"
Thus, history underwent its most dramatic transformation. The once-powerful warring clans and Shinobi World shattered at this moment. What would the future hold? No one could see for sure anymore.
