The northern border of the Fire Nation.
Konoha Camp.
Outside the Third Hokage's big tent.
Uchiha Makoto and Nara Shikaku were waiting outside the tent, talking quietly.
Tsunade was inside treating the Third Hokage.
After Makoto Uchiha defeated Kirabi and rescued the reconnaissance team, Tsunade arrived at the camp that day.
Three days have passed now, and Yunyin is still standing still.
Something was out of the ordinary, and instead of letting down their guard, Konoha became even more cautious.
After about ten minutes, the tent was opened.
The first person to come out was a girl who was carrying a tray. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a pure and cute appearance. She had short ear-length hair and was wearing an ordinary black suit. She looked very quiet.
Although he is young, he gives people a calm and steady feeling.
The person who came was none other than Tsunade's disciple Shizune.
Seeing the two people outside the door, Shizune's eyes stayed on Uchiha Makoto's handsome face for a second, and she smiled:
"Tsunade-sama has finished treating the Third Generation. Makoto-sama and Shikaku-sama, please come in."
Uchiha Makoto nodded slightly, looked at Nara Shikaku, and then walked into the tent.
I saw the Third Hokage's bare upper body and his left arm on the shelf beside him.
Next to him was a blonde beauty with a very muscular figure who was bandaging him, it was Tsunade.
"Shikaku, Makoto, you are here." Seeing Uchiha Makoto and Nara Shikaku, the third generation nodded.
"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama!" Nara Shikaku said respectfully, "Based on the discussions among the jounin and Fugaku-kun's suggestion, it was decided to divide the 26th Brigade and put it under the command of Makoto-kun.
Fugaku-kun assigned a quarter of his Uchiha members to the 26th Brigade.
The remaining members are up to you to decide. This is the list I have drawn up. "
With that said, Nara Shikaku handed a scroll to the Third Hokage.
Due to the guarantee of Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Makoto will command a ninja brigade in this battle.
After the Third Hokage learned about Uchiha Makoto's 'real' combat power, he had no objection to this and directly put Nara Shikaku in charge.
Although the current commander-in-chief of the Konoha camp is the Third Hokage, and Nara Shikaku serves as the military advisor, in fact, their direct teams are all ninjas of their own clan.
Especially big clans such as Uchiha, Hinata, Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi. They are basically a clan of ninjas divided into several brigades, and the clan leader serves as the captain.
As the commander-in-chief, the Third Hokage only needs to directly command the Jonin and these clan leaders, and the specific tasks are completed by the people below.
However, this will inevitably lead to a high survival rate for brigades composed of ninjas from large clans, while the death rate for brigades composed of ninjas without family backgrounds and from small clans is extremely high.
After all, big families have more resources and deeper foundations, and the probability of geniuses and strong men appearing is higher.
Of course nothing is absolute.
Just like in the middle of the Third Ninja War, the Uchiha clan was sent to the Kirigakure battlefield.
Although they are the most powerful clan in Konoha, they suffered heavy losses on the Kirigakure battlefield and have not established many meritorious deeds.
This war system is still maintained today, but it is not as rigid as before.
Mainly the command team has also changed.
The current ace in the Konoha camp is the ninja brigade of the Hinata and Uchiha clans, as well as the mixed brigade of the Inorakacho clan, and the Sarutobi clan who are good at fire escape.
In order to maximize the combat power and increase the survival rate of the ninjas in the brigade as much as possible, many brigade will be led by strong jounin, or the team members include the Hyuga clan and perceptive ninjas, who can detect the enemy in advance and avoid risks.
This was also strongly recommended by Nara Shikaku, but it had not been implemented before.
This time, most ninjas agreed, and the Hinata and Uchiha clans also expressed support.
Ninjas from other small clans and civilians were naturally overjoyed.
It is their duty to fight for the village, but who wouldn't want to?
Having powerful ninjas from two wealthy families following the team will naturally increase the survival rate.
It's just that this time they have to fight against more than 10,000 Kumogakure ninjas on the plains, so they must be very careful to maximize the use of all combat power.
According to the plan, Uchiha Makoto has to deal with the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and his team is naturally the ace among aces.
After all, it is impossible for Kumogakure's side to directly engage in a decisive battle from the beginning.
With a top player like Uchiha Makoto, the team's survival rate is naturally guaranteed.
What jounin doesn’t have relatives and friends?
"There is nothing wrong with the list. Let's also assign the squadron commanded by Kakashi to Makoto."
Sandai opened the scroll and glanced at it casually, then put the scroll aside.
Many missions and battles have proven Uchiha Makoto's ability. In addition to his extremely strong combat power, he also has excellent leadership and command skills.
The fourth generation once proposed to focus on cultivating Uchiha Makoto, and the third generation also paid attention to it.
So another squadron was designated for Uchiha Makoto.
"Yes!" Nara Shikaku replied.
Tsunade on the side looked surprised when she heard this and looked at Uchiha Makoto.
Although she had not participated in a war for a long time, she still remembered the battle organization very clearly.
There are 25-30 ninjas in a ninja squadron. The leaders are basically jounin, and all the team members are chuunin.
Some powerful squadrons sometimes have several jounin, and the team members are all elites among the chuunin.
A ninja group usually has around 100-150 people, with at least 5 jounin.
According to Shikaku, the Uchiha clan allocated a quarter of the ninjas who participated in the war to Uchiha Makoto.
And the third generation handed over the squadron commanded by Kakashi, a talented ninja who became famous at a young age, to Uchiha Makoto.
The brigade he commanded was naturally elite, so generally there were at least ten jounin in the brigade.
In a team of more than a hundred people, there are at least ten jounin, which is a very exaggerated number.
As far as Tsunade knew, the strength of Konoha's side this time was about three thousand.
Even though the quality of Konoha ninja is the highest among the five major ninja villages, there are only about 300 jounin participating in the battle.
They also include dozens of special jounin who are not good at fighting, such as these ninjas who are good at espionage, torture, and treatment.
Unless a medical ninja is very good at fighting, he does not need to participate in frontal combat.
After all, medical ninjas themselves are extremely precious strategic resources.
There are 26 teams. On average, it is difficult for a team to have more than 10 Jonin accompanying them.
Among them, the major clans such as Hyuga and Uchiha, as the main combat forces, have a larger number of Jonin.
Since the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly Tribes are good at combined combat, the mixed brigade also needs more jounin.
Although she has been wandering around for these years, Tsunade has still heard of Uchiha Makoto's name, but she doesn't really care.
Being famous as a teenager is not necessarily a good thing.
Not many famous ninjas of the same generation as the 'Sannin' are still alive today.
Because her grandfather Senju Hashirama died of serious injuries after the battle with Uchiha Madara, Tsunade has poor sense of the Uchiha clan.
Although this young man named Uchiha Makoto had a very outstanding appearance and a unique temperament, she still didn't like him at all.
War is cruel, and maybe the next time she and Uchiha Makoto meet will be in the hospital bed.
Thinking of the past, Tsunade felt a little sad.
If it hadn't been for Jiraiya's repeated requests, plus she really couldn't trust the village where her grandfather had devoted so much effort, she wouldn't have wanted to return to this sad place.
"Okay!" After Tsunade bandaged Sandai's wounds, she turned around indifferently and prepared to leave the tent.
"Tsunade-sama! How long will it take for the Sandaime-sama to recover from his injuries?"
Nara Shikaku hurriedly asked, after all, the third generation is also an important part of the top combat power in this war.
Tsunade frowned slightly and said, "The old man's injury is not serious. If you rest well, with the special medicine I developed, you can recover in about half a month."
Nara Shikaku's heart trembled, "What if we join the war?! If Kumogakure launches a large-scale attack, currently the only one we can resist the Fourth Raikage is the Third Generation!"
"Of course you can participate in the battle, but I can't guarantee whether there will be any sequelae.
In fact, you don't have to worry about the old man's injuries getting worse, maybe he died directly in the battle with the Fourth Raikage!
I am only responsible for the treatment, and other things are not under my control. "
Tsunade said calmly.
"Tsunade-sama?!"
Nara Shikaku looked confused, it was the first time he saw someone so comforting.
In the midst of a war, why do you say such depressing words in front of the third generation?
"Shikaku." Sandai shook his head, indicating that Nara Shikaku didn't need to say more.
Uchiha Makoto on the side patted Nara Shikaku on the shoulder and said:
"Captain Shikaku, don't worry, after I defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, I will rush to support the Third Generation as soon as possible.
With the help of Lord Fugaku, the Third Generation will not die so easily!"
"Defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki? You're young, but your tone is not small!"
Tsunade glanced at Uchiha Makoto, her eyes slightly complicated, and said sarcastically:
"A brat like you who doesn't know the heights of the world and only knows how to rush forward with passion is the most likely to die on the battlefield!"
With that said, Tsunade left the tent.
Nara Shikaku didn't know why Tsunade-sama suddenly lost his temper for no reason.
"Let her be."
The third generation waved his hand, knowing that Tsunade must have remembered the past.
It seems that the psychological shadow caused by the rope tree and the broken incident has not been eliminated.
Uchiha Makoto looked at Tsunade's leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.
Imp?
He's already 18, okay?
And this is the first time I heard someone say that he just rushes forward. He obviously has skills, right?
Otherwise, how can it last.
If you want to gallop on the battlefield, you need more than just brute force.
But it's always a good thing that Tsunade is back.
Uchiha Makoto's Yang Release Chakra is also very precious and should not be squandered unscrupulously.
Fully equipping [Redemption] also requires a 24-hour cooling time, and its range of use is not very large.
As an important combat equipment, he will not use it lightly.
With Tsunade, a medical expert, our casualties will definitely be reduced a lot.
Makoto Uchiha didn't care about Tsunade's sarcasm, and would speak with the facts when the time came.
I just don’t know if Tsunade at this time suffered from hemophobia like in the original work, otherwise she would also be an important combat force.
Now Uchiha Makoto can only kill as many enemies as possible to reduce the pressure on others.
Speaking of which, he actually had no intention of being the captain.
Now he is actually more suitable to fight alone.
Not to mention anything else, once the Gundam is opened, teammates can easily be accidentally injured if they get too close.
In addition, in the immortal mode, the ultimate move is released, and the attack range is also very wide.
He alone is an army.
But one thing is true. If he leads the team, the survival rate of team members will indeed increase.
They can be regarded as elites who train younger generations.
Moreover, the old team members such as Kakashi, Shisui, Zongren, Xinyue, and Ruri are all here, so it is relatively easy to use.
At worst, if the enemy is detected by then, just ask the team members to retreat in advance.
...
After leaving the main tent, Uchiha Makoto took the letter of appointment given to him by the Third Generation and came to the southeast of the main camp, where the 26th Brigade was stationed.
As soon as he walked outside the tent, two acquaintances walked out of the tents on both sides.
A white-haired man wearing a forehead protector at an angle, revealing only a listless dead fish eye.
The other one had a kappa haircut and a weird green tights.
It was Kakashi and Gai, good friends.
"Makoto!" Kai's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Uchiha Makoto. He looked at the scroll in Uchiha Makoto's hand and said doubtfully, "Makoto! Are you the captain of the 26th Brigade?!"
"Captain!" Kakashi had obviously known this for a long time. He came to Uchiha Makoto and said respectfully.
Uchiha Makoto nodded to Kai, looked at Kakashi, and said with a smile: "Kakashi, you haven't started the mission yet, why are you so serious!"
With that said, Uchiha Makoto said to Kai: "Kai, please help me call out all the team members, I have something to say!"
"Yes! Captain! Look at me!"
Kai suddenly said seriously, giving a thumbs up to Uchiha Makoto, showing two rows of dazzlingly white teeth, and then rushed to the camps on both sides, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Everyone! The captain is here! Gather soon!
In such a passionate morning, why do you have no energy at all?
Welcome the rising sun! "
Seeing Kai shouting at the top of his lungs, Uchiha Makoto twitched the corner of his mouth and felt a little regretful.
He forgot that he was called up for a combat meeting at four o'clock in the morning today. After the meeting, he went to see the third generation. It was only about six o'clock now.
Kai shouted so loudly that he probably woke up the team next to him.
"Kai, are you crazy! It's only six o'clock!"
"Can't you just give us a little more sleep?"
"I was on patrol last night and didn't go to bed until three in the morning. Why did you wake me up so early?!"
...
After a while, the ninjas came out of the tent one after another.
At a glance, Uchiha Makoto saw many familiar faces.
Mitarashi Anko, Yuhihi Kurenai, Ebisu, Sarutobi Asuma, Moonlight Hayate, Shiranui Genma, Yamashiro Aoba, and Minamiru...
Those who complained were all ninjas of the same generation who had a close relationship with Kai.
Everyone looked sleepy and seemed to have no energy.
Uchiha Makoto can understand, after all, the atmosphere has been too tense recently, and the patrol mission is non-stop 24 hours a day.
When everyone saw Uchiha Makoto with a smile on his face in the middle of the road, their hearts suddenly trembled, and they quickly cheered up and lined up consciously.
After a while, a group of ninjas wearing chuunin vests rushed to the camp, and the leader was Shisui.
"Jounin Uchiha Shisui, lead the Uchiha squadron to report!"
Shisui came to Uchiha Makoto and saluted respectfully, and the Uchiha clan members behind him also moved in unison.
It is simply a great honor to be able to participate in the battle with the top master of the Uchiha clan.
Especially the news that Uchiha Makoto had defeated the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki had spread throughout the camp.
This battle will be an excellent opportunity for the Uchiha clan to establish their military exploits.
They believe that as long as everyone recognizes the strength of the Uchiha clan, then sooner or later, there will be a Hokage in the Uchiha clan.
Even without extreme means and legitimate competition, the Uchiha clan has the ability to silence everyone.
Uchiha Makoto is only 18 years old, and his strength is already not inferior to that of the fourth generation Hokage, who is powerful in the ninja world.
It's only a matter of time before it surpasses golden glitter.
At the clan meeting, Uchiha Makoto and the clan leader firmly supported the Fourth Hokage against all opinions.
In fact, many Uchiha people were forced to give in temporarily only due to the situation.
But they were not convinced.
But to this day, they are convinced by Uchiha Makoto's foresight.
The Fourth Hokage did not disappoint them. As soon as he came to power, he dismissed Danzo, the advisor who was most targeting the Uchiha clan.
Later, the Uchiha clan was given the political power they deserved, and the ANBU absorbed the Uchiha elite.
The original promise of the fourth generation has basically been fulfilled.
Moreover, the Fourth Hokage made no secret of his admiration for Uchiha Makoto, and seemed to have trained him as the Fifth Hokage.
In the eyes of the Uchiha tribe, Uchiha Makoto's move is really superior.
Many people only saw the first and second floors, but Uchiha Makoto was on the fifth floor from the beginning.
Those tribesmen who once disliked Uchiha Makoto still wanted to support the new generation of genius Shisui, so that they could confront each other and suppress Uchiha Makoto's arrogance.
As a result, Shisui has now become Uchiha Makoto's little fanboy. Uchiha's number one 'Makoto' is inseparable from 'Captain Says'.
The Uchiha clan is a clan that believes in the strong and worships power.
And Uchiha Makoto is not only powerful, but also so far-sighted. Why should such a person go against him!
They don't deserve it!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Uchiha Makoto raised his arms in the clan, his words would definitely have more weight than the clan leader and elders.
"Come on!" Uchiha said sincerely.
"Yes!" The Uchiha clan members said in unison.
The neat and loud voice shocked the hearts of the other ninjas, and their sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Jounin Hyuga Hizashi is here to report!"
"Enter the queue!"
"Jounin Sakamoto Izawa is here to report!"
"Enter the queue!"
"Genin Maruhoshi Kosuke is here to report!"
...
After a while, more jounin came to report one after another. Except for a 'genin' mixed in among them, the others were all famous jounin in the village.
Now these people are all subordinates of Captain Cheng, which makes the Uchiha people feel very proud.
And some well-informed people even know about Maruhoshi Kosuke's deeds.
As for those who didn't know his true strength, they didn't say a word because Captain Cheng hadn't spoken yet!
"Now that everyone is here, I have a few words to tell you in advance.
Some of the people here are old teammates with me, and some of them are taking orders from me for the first time.
I have only three requests for everyone! "
Uchiha Makoto looked at everyone seriously. Seeing that everyone was holding their heads high and chest high, he nodded secretly in his heart. These people are all of good quality.
"First, obey my orders!"
No one was surprised at all by Uchiha Makoto's words.
Because it is the ninja's bounden duty to obey orders and complete tasks, there is no need to emphasize it at all.
Just when everyone thought that Uchiha Makoto, a powerful ninja with long-standing reputation, was going to say such a scene, he suddenly changed the topic and said loudly:
"The second point is as important as the first! Don't hesitate when I ask you to escape!"
"What?"
"Escape?!"
"Did I hear that right?!"
"Escape?! Captain, are you letting us be deserters on the battlefield?"
"Captain! You underestimate us too much. Even if our strength is far inferior to yours, we will never take a step back!"
"Konoha ninja will not abandon his teammates, nor will he be a deserter on the battlefield!"
The ninjas in the team were in an uproar.
However, the ninjas who had performed missions with Uchiha Makoto remained silent.
Because Uchiha Makoto is not looking down on others, nor is he pretending to be cool. He is too strong, so he seems to be too weak for those who are traveling with him.
It was the fourth generation that gave them this feeling before.
Uchiha Makoto raised his eyebrows. Everyone saw that he looked unkind and soon became quiet. However, they were still a little unconvinced. This captain looked down on others.
"The third point!" Uchiha Makoto continued without further explanation. Seeing Shisui's lips moving slightly in front of the team, Uchiha Makoto pointed at him and said:
"Uchiha Shisui, come out!"
"yes!"
"Tell them what the third point is!"
"Yes! The third point! Sometimes the best teamwork is not to hold back!"
Shisui said loudly.
"Very good! Return to the team!" Uchiha Makoto nodded.
Now the team exploded.
While everyone was talking, Uchiha Makoto suddenly grasped the Tenbu-ryu sword hanging behind his back.
Zheng!
The long sword was unsheathed and pointed toward the sky.
Just when everyone was confused, the silver-white sword blade of Tianbu Liujian suddenly flashed with a blue-white arc of electricity.
I saw arcs of electricity shooting straight into the sky.
"what's the situation?!"
"Why is it dark?!"
"Oh my God! Look at the sky!!!"
"Am I dreaming?!"
It suddenly got dark!
The sun had just risen not long ago, and the sky was clear just now, but in the blink of an eye it was covered with dark clouds.
Large dark clouds in the sky gathered here, and the area within a few hundred meters was shrouded in dark clouds.
Rumble~
Thunder roared loudly in the clouds, and from time to time, dark blue thunder emerged from the thick black clouds.
The huge sound of thunder was like an ancient behemoth hidden in the dark clouds waking up and letting out a heart-stopping roar.
Some ninjas with less mental endurance were so frightened that they trembled all over.
The thunder seemed to be close to them and would fall on their heads at any time, leaving their bodies feeling faintly numb.
"Is it Captain Cheng?!"
Everyone paid attention to the sword in Uchiha Makoto's hand.
The Tianbu Liujian was completely wrapped by the arc of electricity, and the sword turned into thunder, connecting with the thunder in the sky.
At this time, Uchiha Makoto flipped his wrist, and the Tenbu sword drew two and a half arcs in the air, and then sheathed the sword.
As he stopped delivering the Thunder Chakra, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated in an instant.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Just the instinctive trembling of the body doesn't lie.
Uchiha Makoto looked at everyone, smiled faintly, put his right hand in front of his eyes, put his index finger and thumb tips together, and made a gesture.
"As you can see, I am personally better at lightning escape, and I know a bit of large-scale attack ninjutsu.
So in order to avoid accidental injury, when I ask you to escape, don't hesitate.
Everything I just said is not meant to look down on anyone, nor is it directed at anyone.
It’s for everyone!
Please keep this in mind! "
'That was ninjutsu just now? ! '
'Better at thunder escape? '
'know a little? '
Everyone was silent.
With the upgrade of the system, Uchiha Makoto has become proficient in [Thunderbolt Land], and many of his skills have made breakthroughs in the original panel attributes.
Now the two-second charging period of [Thunderbolt Land] can be extended, and the release range and power have also made a qualitative leap.
Uchiha Makoto prefers to speak with actions rather than talking.
Looking at the stunned team members, he smiled inwardly. It seemed that the 'reminder' had a good effect.
——————
As long as they were obedient, the mortality rate would be greatly reduced.
