Chapter 26: Hot Spring Mountain Stronghold
Although these thoughts and actions.
In the eyes of these people.
Are still very immature and naive.
But having and not having are two concepts. At least Uchiha Shisui, who is currently praised by some of the clan members as the strongest existence of the clan, does not show the same qualities as Masashi.
Oh, it is worth mentioning that in this March reinforcement.
Shisui is not on the list.
Although he wants to come to the front line.
But not only Fugaku disagrees, but Sarutobi Hiruzen also does not allow it.
This third Hokage also hopes that Shisui can pay more attention to the situation of the Uchiha clan in the Ninja Village for him. After all, even if it is not a large-scale collision, the friction war on the front line will last at least one or two years, and it is not surprising that it can last for three or four years.
Based on this situation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen will not keep Shisui locked in the front line all the time.
Naturally, there are other people to do the observation of Masashi. Leaving Konoha and going to the front line, Masashi seems to be free and independent, but in fact, there are Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes all around, especially some members of the Anbu. Once Masashi himself is negligent, it is still difficult to discover these people's spying and monitoring.
Want to do something?
Masashi himself must also weigh it.
Fortunately, even if Masashi does not know this, he will act carefully by nature. He volunteered to go to the "Hot Spring Mountain Stronghold" after a quick and comprehensive consideration in a short period. The conclusion was drawn by Masashi himself.
That's why.
It instantly attracted the attention of the tribesmen around.
After a slight pause, Chihiro also shifted his gaze to Masashi below. Looking at his genius junior, Chihiro asked with a serious expression, "Are you sure you want to go to the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold, Masashi Kun?"
The staffing is just a change in quantity.
Specific arrangements for which people to go where.
The Third Hokage did not make clear instructions.
Suzaku did not force it.
Because they know very well that even if it is an open conspiracy, you have to leave some room for others. In any world and any era, doing things must follow the rules, unless your strength and power are so strong that you can ignore all the rules.
There is no doubt that you can suppress all living beings.
Otherwise.
Everyone still has to follow some rules.
Therefore, Suzaku only told Chihiro that he needed to send more Uchiha forces to the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold but did not say who would be the specific person to arrange it. The subtext was that the Uchiha clan would arrange it themselves. Chihiro's initial idea was to let the oldest group of clan members, including himself, go to the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold as much as possible.
Although the Uchiha clan is warlike, they think that only real fighting can sharpen the next generation.
But they are not foolish people.
Chihiro hopes that the youngest people in this group of clan members can be sharpened and trained in a less dangerous area.
As a member of the same generation as Shisui, Masashi could open his Sharingan to the level of three magatama at the age of 14. He was a genius of the clan. Even though he had participated in the Third Ninja World War, as far as Chihiro knew, he had not experienced a real life-and-death battle. The clash with the Hidden Cloud Village this time seemed not to be large-scale, but the Cloud Ninja was after all the Cloud Ninja. Chihiro had long known about the casualties at the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold.
He didn't want a genius of the clan like Masashi to die there directly.
But if Masashi took the initiative to bring it up, that would be another matter.
"Yes, Chihiro-san, I am sure of this! Please don't doubt my determination!!"
Masashi straightened his body, faced Uchiha Chihiro's gaze, and responded calmly.
Chihiro looked at Masashi deeply and nodded slowly: "Very good, then I will add you to the list of Hot Spring Mountain strongholds!"
Also seemed to be influenced by Masashi's initiative.
Every Uchiha clan member took the initiative to apply to go to the Hot Spring Mountain Stronghold.
The Uchiha clan is born to be fighters in their genes.
Thirsty for blood, warlike!
Never afraid of danger or even death.
It can be said that this is almost a kind of inheritance deeply rooted in the bones of the clan.
However, asking for a fight is asking for a fight.
Chihiro can't let all the nearly 100 clan members go to the Hot Spring Mountain Stronghold, and the necessary precautions cannot be lost.
Especially at the moment when the relationship between the clan and the village leaders and even the major ninja clans is somewhat tense, everything must be carefully considered and arranged.
Not a long period.
Chihiro selected the clansmen who needed to be sent to the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold.
Including himself.
There were 37 people in total. Among the remaining people, only a dozen people stayed in the border strongholds and logistics supply points of the Fire Country, such as the stronghold they were in at the moment. The rest were also going to enter the Konoha stronghold in the territory of the Fire Country.
It just means that the risk factor is not as high as that of the Hotspring Mountain stronghold.
But in fact, it is also at the front line.
It will be attacked by the Cloud Ninja anytime and anywhere. In the past three or four months, although the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold was the most tragic in terms of the number of casualties, it does not mean that the defense pressure in other strongholds is small. The easternmost coastal corridor stronghold was almost flattened by the Cloud Ninja just a month ago.
However, the Uchiha clan members assigned by Chihiro to the Fire Kingdom stronghold were all smiling, while those who stayed in the border area seemed to have a faces full of bitterness and hatred. From this aspect, the Uchiha clan is indeed completely different from most of the ninja clans in the Hidden Leaf Village. If you have to say it, the Uchiha clan is more suitable to wear the forehead protector of the "Hidden Cloud Village" as a cloud ninja.
'Warlike!'
That is the standard attribute of the cloud ninja.
And this attribute is also engraved into the soul of the Uchiha clan.
When Chihiro assigned the corresponding personnel and returned to the central camp.
The leaders of the major ninja clans also made corresponding arrangements.
Then under the unified coordination and arrangement of Suzaku.
The Konoha ninja corps gathered here was divided into several parts under the leadership of their respective captains and went deep into the Fire Kingdom in the northern area.
Each of them supported the strongholds set up in different areas.
Generals naturally belonged to Chihiro's leadership and set off towards the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold.
In fact.
This time, more than 1,300 active forces came to support the northeastern border.
A full 400 people were to be added to the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold.
As the most important and largest stronghold established by Konoha in the Fire Kingdom area.
From combat personnel to medical and logistics personnel, the regular number of people in the Hot Spring Mountain stronghold has always been maintained at around 200.
Other strongholds only have dozens of people.
The smallest reconnaissance stronghold even has only one or two teams.
This point is enough to prove the importance of the Hotspring Mountain stronghold.
