Has the Uchiha Clan Gone Mad?

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure Village.

The Fourth Raikage, A, lounged on the couch with his legs crossed.

"I never expected Konoha to have an internal conflict, haha! This time, we must reclaim everything we lost from Iwagakure!

If they hadn't signed a peace treaty with Iwagakure, allowing them to send ninja to deal with us, my father wouldn't have died!

This time, we must make those cowards pay with their blood!"

The ministers of the successive Raikages were somewhat worried as they reminded, "Raikage-sama, we must not be careless. It's said that the Uchiha clan is coming to the frontlines this time. You know their combat power, especially their Sharingan. Our village might suffer a disadvantage."

The Fourth Raikage, A, waved his hand disdainfully.

"So what? Our scouts have brought back intelligence. Konoha is currently undergoing division. Only the Uchiha clan's ninja are coming to the front lines this time. We can easily fend off the Uchiha's genjutsu with a 2 vs. 1 advantage. It's also a good opportunity to eradicate the Uchiha clan, a major headache."

After a pause, the Fourth Raikage asked,

"What's the situation now?"

"We've made good progress. But he wants to join forces with you on the battlefield..."

The Fourth Raikage, A, impatiently waved his hand.

"Let him focus on mastering the Tailed Beast Ball! As a Jinchuriki, he shouldn't casually appear on the battlefield. If enemies invade, let him release the Tailed Beast Ball from a distance."

After the Third Raikage died protecting the village, A was deeply saddened.

Therefore, after succeeding as the Raikage, he requested that B begin training with the Tailed Beast Ball at the Yunraikyo. He swore not to let enemies harm B.

He then ordered B not to leave the village and instructed him that if enemies invaded, he should use the Tailed Beast Ball to repel them from a distance. He didn't want to experience the pain of losing a loved one again.

The minister opened his mouth, but he swallowed his words of persuading Killer B to go to the front lines.

After all, he was just a shinobi. Their side had an absolute numerical advantage, and after their genjutsu lost its effect, they were no different from ordinary ninjas.

At this moment, an ANBU suddenly appeared on the way to the front lines, holding a list and handed it to the Raikage.

"Raikage-sama, someone has delivered a list of Uchiha clan members participating in the battle."

"What!?"

The Fourth Raikage and his minister looked at each other,

"Who delivered this?"

The ANBU shook his head.

"It was reported by the scout from Konoha. It seems to have appeared suddenly in his room."

The Fourth Raikage's pupils contracted. He took the intelligence and scanned it.

[This time, the mission dispatched by Konoha is led by the Uchiha clan's clan head, Uchiha Toki, accompanied by Shisui, along with two upper-level ninjas, Uchiha Itaku and Uchiha Yashiro, as well as 10 special jonin, 20 chunin, and 200 lower-level ninjas rushing to the front lines.]

The Fourth Raikage frowned.

"This scout must have been discovered. Why would they bring back such intelligence?"

The minister also looked speechless.

"20 chunin? 200 lower-level ninjas? Is the Uchiha clan foolish? Are they sending these few people to their deaths?"

Due to the second and third Shinobi World Wars being basically consecutive, the ninja villages were recruiting frantically.

For example, before the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya's ninja registration number was 002301.

By the end of the Third Shinobi World War, Might Guy's ninja registration number had reached 010252. And Konoha had recruited fewer ninjas than the other five major ninja villages.

So when the Fourth Raikage and his minister saw that Konoha had only sent this few people, they felt a sense of absurdity.

They both felt that this intelligence should have been fabricated by Konoha.

Because a national war was different from border friction.

Even high-level ninjas facing hundreds or even thousands of ninjas would be worn out.

The Shinobi Alliance, including a class, could withstand the Fire Release ninjutsu of an Akatsuki member. The Uchiha clan's team, consisting of less than 300 people, was no different from sending them to their deaths in the Fourth Raikage's eyes.

It's worth noting that at this time, there were nearly 3,000 Kumogakure teams stationed at the Konoha front line.

The Fourth Raikage, A, casually turned the intelligence into ashes and sneered, "This must be Konoha's smoke screen. The scout on this line is probably done for. Let him withdraw."

The minister nodded in agreement.

"Konoha must have other troops moving in the background. Raikage-sama, please dispatch ANBU to investigate the battlefield as soon as possible."

The Fourth Raikage nodded and ordered the ANBU to go to the battlefield.

...

Meanwhile, on the way to the battlefield, Uchiha Shisui followed Uchiha Toki with a solemn expression.

"Clan Leader-sama, let's just give in to the Sandaime. You've also retired from the battlefield. You've seen the power of cooperative ninjutsu. It's really hard for us to fight against them."

National wars were different from border skirmishes. The two armies usually started with joint ninjutsu battles involving dozens or even hundreds of people.

After everyone's chakra was depleted, they engaged in close combat.

Therefore, qualitative changes resulting from quantitative changes were the reason. Even though he was surprised to find that all the clan members participating in the war this time were elites of no less than chunin level, Shisui didn't think the Uchiha clan could win the war.

However, Toki smiled slightly and confidently said, "Rest assured, I won't joke with the lives of our clan members."

After Toki finished speaking, he glanced at the sealing scroll around his waist with a trace of excitement in his eyes.

He didn't expect that upgrading the ninja tool development center to a level 2 would unlock something like this. This was also the reason he changed his strategy to elite tactics.
