Chapter 46 There must be something fishy about this matter

A forest somewhere in Tian Country.

Not far from the river is the Konoha Village camp.

Tsunade handed over the task and took Natsume, Kabuto Yakushi and Shizune to the big tent in the center.

There are already many people waiting inside.

"Tsunade-sama."

The first person to speak was not Uchiha Fugaku, but Nara Shikaku with the pineapple head.

He is the father of Nara Shikamaru, one of the twelve strongest men in Konoha, and the deer among the Ino-Shika-cho of this generation.

The Nara clan is known for their high IQ, so they usually serve as staff officers or strategists.

This war is no exception.

"As for Si Dong, on behalf of Zhu Lu Die, I would like to express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for your timely rescue, he might not be able to be a ninja anymore."

Nara Shikaku showed a grateful expression.

Pigs, deer, and butterflies have always lived and died together, and have deep feelings.

It was not out of the ordinary for him to express his thanks on behalf of the unconscious Si Dong.

"It's what I should do."

Tsunade waved her hand, turned to the topic, and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"not too good."

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice, "In just one week, thirty of our outposts and strongholds were destroyed."

"Are they all out in force?"

Tsunade had learned the information before, but she was still a little surprised when she heard such a large number.

"Um."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "We were caught off guard and could only avoid the edge temporarily, but Shikaku noticed something was wrong."

Outposts and strongholds are very useful in war.

Can form a fixed position to resist enemy attacks.

Because ordinary tents or obstacles cannot block ninjutsu.

Resting outside, without outposts or strongholds, can only be frightened everywhere.

"Everyone, please look at the map."

Nara Shikaku took over the topic, spread out a map of Tian no Country, and said, "Although these thirty outposts and strongholds are not distributed regularly, we have unknowingly withdrawn to the south of Tian no country. , that is, the area downstream of this river.”

After he finished speaking, he drew a big circle on the picture.

"Could it be just a coincidence?"

Tsunade glanced at it and asked, "This area is so large, even an ambush will be difficult to work."

"Tsunade-sama is also talking about the strange things about us."

Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "But the targets of the Fourth Raikage should be far beyond these outposts and strongholds."

"Um."

Tsunade expressed her conjecture, "The Hidden Cloud Village probably wants to negotiate with a big victory to obtain more compensation."

"After discussion, we agreed."

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Hinata and Hinata and said, "The ninjas of the Hyuga clan have already investigated. The two jinchūriki of Kumogakure Village have not moved and are still in Kumogakure Village."

"To remove so many outposts and strongholds in a short period of time, the price paid by Yunyin Village is probably not small."

Hinata Hizu noticed his look and said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. We can send Hinata's ninjas to investigate behind enemy lines."

Although it is dangerous, if you really find out something, it will be a great achievement.

"The Byakugan is certainly a powerful detection tool, but once it is discovered, if it is not strong enough, it will cause bad things. If the Hyuga clan leader is willing to go there in person, I have no problem with it."

Uchiha Fugaku naturally understood what he was thinking.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are equally famous, and are also known as the two major eye-jutsu ninja clans in Konoha.

But within the Uchiha clan, this has never been the case.

This is especially true for Uchiha Fugaku.

He knows the Mangekyō Sharingan.

How can he compete with a mere roll of his eyes?

Hinata Hizu's expression suddenly changed.

He really didn't dare go deep behind enemy lines.

As a clan member, he doesn't have a caged bird. If he misses, Byakugan will be homeless.

In the Third Ninja World War, some clan elders participated in the battle, but their Byakugan fell into the hands of Kirigakure Murakami Ninja Ao.

He also gave him the title of White Eyes Killer for free.

Such lessons have made the Zong family more cautious.

Anything that is dangerous will be left to the branch.

Anyway, with the caged bird in hand, they had to listen.

"Then I would like to listen to the advice of the Uchiha clan leader."

Hinata Hinashi said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"I suggest that Tsunade-sama lead a team there, and then the Uchiha Shisui team will assist."

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have a plan in mind, and without any hesitation, he stated his plan.

Needless to say, Tsunade.

In this tent, there is a being with the highest status and one of the top five in strength.

As for Uchiha Shisui, he earned the title of 'Shunshen Shisui' in the Third Ninja War, and his achievements this time were even more brilliant.

In terms of personal merit alone, he is number one.

Even without the Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength is far higher than it was three years ago.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

She participated in this war to train Natsume and others.

She was very satisfied with their performance against Troy before.

Going deep behind enemy lines is dangerous, but it's also an excellent exercise.

Tsunade felt that they could give it a try with their current strength.

"yes."

Uchiha Shisui took a step forward and accepted the task.

He had been among the Jonin group before, and because of his age, he was the shortest.

Only then did Natsume notice him.

"Shisui, are you leading the Jonin team now?"

Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "Who are your team members?"

Two teams.

She believed that Natsume and others would not hold back, but it was harder to say for the other team.

After all, geniuses are in the minority.

"It is Hokage-sama who has authorized me to lead the team as a jounin."

Uchiha Shisui looked gentle and replied, "My team members are Lord Orochimaru's three apprentices, Uchiha Itachi, Mitarai Anko and Uzuki Yuugao."

"It turns out he is Orochimaru's apprentice."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said, "This guy has been staying in Konoha all day, but he is willing to let his apprentice out."

Uchiha Shisui responded in silence.

Big boss fights have nothing to do with him.

In fact, he didn't choose their team because of Itachi Uchiha's relationship.

Instead, Orochimaru appointed him to lead the team.

What the purpose of it was, he still hadn't figured it out yet.

"In that case, I'll leave this to Tsunade-sama."

Uchiha Fugaku saw the two people finished chatting and spoke in time.

He glanced at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi and said nothing, but he conveyed his meaning well and behaved well.

At this time, because of the drastic changes within the Uchiha clan, he had already understood the most dangerous moment.

So while appeasing the clan members who were too extreme, he planned to understand the movements of Konoha's top leaders through Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

Trying to find a balance.

Uchiha Fugaku was unwilling to rebel.

In the original work, he was forced to take the lead because of his helplessness.

As a result, when he met Uchiha Itachi, he was willing to surrender and let him slaughter the entire clan without any resistance or resistance.

The thinking in it is difficult to understand and too outrageous.

As for now.

Uchiha Fugaku is not a qualified clan leader, nor a qualified father, so he has no idea what Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi really think.

His inaction put a heavy foot on the accelerator when it came to the demise of the Uchiha clan.
