Chapter 137 Deputy Commander
When Gen Uchiha entered the tent, the two chuunin at the door smiled and looked at each other, both noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.
No wonder he is a disciple of Lord Orochimaru. The genius of the Uchiha clan has a really better personality than the Uchiha ninjas he met before.
"Orochimaru-sensei."
"Sit anywhere."
Orochimaru, who was working on the document, raised his head and glanced at it.
Uchiha Gen was not polite, he randomly picked a chair and sat down at the small long table where the meeting was held.
"Teacher Orochimaru, how do you plan to fight next?"
"Fight slowly." Orochimaru said without raising his head.
"oh?"
"You need to continue harvesting souls, and I need to continue collecting materials. Of course, the war must last as long as possible."
"And doing experimental research outside is much more relaxed than inside Konoha Village. There is no need to worry at all, so there is no rush."
Uchiha Gen smiled. He thought the same way. If the war lasted as long as possible, he would be able to harvest more souls.
He had already made up his mind to hold back and hit a few times, so as not to inflict pain on Kirigakure before Uchiha Obito controlled Yagura.
In fact, even if Obito controls Yagura, he won't be able to use all his firepower. If Kirigakure is hurt, Kirigakure will still withdraw his troops early.
Although Yagura is Mizukage, it does not mean that Kirigakure has the final say in everything. Kirigakure also has elders, and the elder with the most power is called the marshal.
The power of this marshal is basically the same as that of the Mizukage. Plus the other elders, Obito can't have his own way without a suitable reason.
If you insist on going your own way, once or twice is okay, but if you do more, you will definitely be suspected.
Therefore, when Kirigakure's losses reach a certain level, Kirigakure will definitely withdraw his troops, and Obito cannot stop him.
Of course, the ideas of their master and apprentice are definitely not recognized by other Konoha ninjas. After all, the longer the war lasts, the greater the chance of death.
It's just that Orochimaru, as a frontline commander, has no constraints from his deputy commander. He is strong and has high prestige. It is not difficult to delay the progress of the war under his arbitrary actions.
"When the teacher said this, I felt relieved."
"Well...you can be my deputy."
"Um...deputy commander, you don't have the authority to appoint me, do you?"
"The application to Konoha is that you have made great achievements in battle, and you should have no problem being a deputy commander at the level of a thousand people."
"The old man still needs me now."
Uchiha Gen smiled and said: "Although I know you want to have more time to do experimental research, I still have to thank you for your kindness."
"Bring a stool and come over immediately to learn."
"good."
He moved a stool and sat next to Orochimaru. The master and apprentice read the document together. After reading it, Orochimaru would ask Uchiha Gen's opinion on how to deal with it.
If the opinion is correct, there is no need to say more; if there is a problem with the opinion, it will be pointed out and modified, and the reasons for the modification will be explained.
Orochimaru teaches his disciples ninjutsu with scientific methods, and teaches himself how to handle military affairs with scientific methods.
Instead of reading the documents one by one in order, Orochimaru picked out various categories of documents. A document is basically a category.
Military documents are roughly divided into four categories: ninja deployment, logistics, medical care, and miscellaneous affairs. Each category is subdivided into several subcategories.
It sounds complicated, but actually you just need to manage people well.
If your basic skills and IQ are pretty good and you can draw inferences from one instance, you will soon be able to learn how to process various types of files.
The most important foundation here is arithmetic ability. If you are not good at arithmetic, you will be easily deceived by the people below.
Don't think that all ninjas in Konoha are White Lotus. Even if Konoha's brainwashing education is very successful, there are still many ninjas who work in secret and make money for themselves.
There are them in Konoha Village, and also in various border troops, but there are more or less problems.
There are basically no frontline camps at present, because those people know that they can't fool Orochimaru, and they can't afford the consequences of being discovered.
If Gen Uchiha is involved in handling military affairs, that may not necessarily be the case. After all, strength is not the same as the ability to handle affairs.
…
That night, Kirigakure's battle report was sent back to Kirigakure Village.
After receiving the news, Yagura ignored the news and went out from his home with an ugly face to the Mizukage Building, and sent someone to summon the top management for a meeting.
After getting the news, other senior Kirigakure officials were also very angry.
Lost Black Hoe Raiga and eight other jounin?
This is simply unacceptable!
Of these nine jounin, Uchiha Gen killed five, Orochimaru killed two, and two others died in the pursuit of Konoha jounin.
Jonin is the foundation of a village, and its importance is far beyond that of cannon fodder genin.
The loss of nine jounin was not a small amount.
The five major ninja villages have been recuperating for more than a year, and including the newly promoted jounin after merit-based rewards, their number is only between one hundred and one hundred and fifty.
Sunagakure Village, the weakest village, currently has just over a hundred jounin, and Konoha and Kumogakure, which have the largest number of jonin, only have about one hundred and forty.
The current number of jounin in Kirigakure Village is only over one hundred and twenty. This, plus the number of blood successor families and secret arts families, means that the number of jounin that can be used by high-level officials is at most a hundred or so.
Nearly one-tenth was lost in one fell swoop. Not only were the senior management of Kirigakure angry, they were also trembling with heartache.
This is not the end of the story. As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, but misfortune never comes alone.
When Kirigakure's senior management heard that Lei Daoya had not recovered the inheritance scroll, their mentality generally collapsed.
Someone must be responsible for such a heavy loss, and as the frontline commander, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost is naturally at the forefront.
Fortunately, Yagura was not completely disappointed with the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost and spoke out to defend him.
After reading the battle report, Marshal Kirigakure felt that the commander could not be entirely blamed. Not only did he not add insult to injury, he even took the initiative to say a nice word.
When the two bosses opened their mouths, the Xiguashan puffer fish devil was not recalled to be beaten to the end, but was allowed to serve his crime.
Making meritorious deeds means that the war will continue.
Marshal Kirigakure planned to stop the loss in time, but Yagura and other elders refused.
Yagura mainly did not allow the fight he promoted to end so anticlimactically, which would undermine his prestige.
Other elders are unwilling to give up when there is still hope because the sunk cost is too high.
They want to recoup their losses and take back the ninja sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in Kirigakure Village!
In order to increase the chance of winning, after discussion, the senior management of Kirigakure Village decided to send 300 genin, 30 chunin, and 10 jounin to the front line.
…
Shortly after the meeting, Bai Zetsu received the news and found Obito resting in an empty house on the edge of Kirigakure Village.
After listening to the information told by Bai Zetsu, Obito, who was resting on the bed wearing a mask, slowly sat up and stared at Bai Zetsu with his scarlet Sharingan.
"You mean that boy Gen Uchiha not only has a dragon as a psychic beast, but also has the ability to suck away the souls of ninjas through fear?"
"Fei, are you kidding?"
"Unless the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost is joking with Kirigakure's higher-ups."
Ah Fei, half of his body exposed, raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling, tilted his head and said.
Obito: "..."
How dare the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost make such a joke with Kirigakure’s senior management?
It seems to be true.
"The Eye of Reincarnation exists, the Immortal of Six Paths also existed, and the existence of dragons is not that unbelievable."
"What's up with the ability to drain a ninja's soul out of mere fear?"
"There is no such powerful and special Uchiha clan secret technique in Madara's collection."
"Could it be that that guy learned it from somewhere else in the ninja world?"
Just as Bai Jue was about to speak, a pool of black liquid seeped out from the floor and adhered to half of Bai Jue's body...
