This Uchiha is too cautious

Leave Orochimaru as a chess piece for Konoha on the periphery.

No matter how you look at it, it is the most cost-effective plan.

Of course, Orochimaru's intimidating power is beyond what ordinary people can resist.

Therefore, Konoha also needs someone who can really keep an eye on him.

And this person is naturally Uchiha Kai!

In terms of strength, Uchiha Kei is definitely no worse than him, and can even be said to be much stronger than him.

As for his methods and strategies, Uchiha Kei's performance was absolutely uncompromising.

In fact, in the original book, after the end of the Fourth War, Konoha's plan to deal with Orochimaru was roughly the same.

It's just that one of the people guarding Orochimaru at that time was Yamato who was sent there on the surface, and the other real guard was Uchiha Sasuke.

Although Uchiha Sasuke is often not with Orochimaru, he will even wander in other places for a long time.

But his intimidation and understanding of Orochimaru, coupled with his character, was pulled back after being beaten up by Uzumaki Naruto.

He is definitely the best person to deal with Orochimaru!

What's more, Uchiha Sasuke has also killed Orochimaru before, but Orochimaru's ability is really weird and excessive.

When everyone thought he was dead, this guy came back to life one after another.

When it comes to the ability to save lives, I'm afraid no one in the Naruto world can compare with Orochimaru.

Even if this guy becomes one of the beings with "zero magic resistance", he can always get up and disgust you in various ways, which is very disappointing.

Orochimaru's matter was settled like this for the time being. Namikaze Minato then happily told Uchiha Kei another thing, something about the battlefield.

Uchiha Kei's guess was indeed correct. This time there were some interesting situations on the battlefield, that is, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have a brilliant performance.

He first dealt with a Kumogakure brigade that attempted to attack the base, and then in a test raid led by Raikage himself, he lost Raikage's right hand!

“Is this considered history ahead of schedule?”

Uchiha Kai was really surprised when he heard the news.

He knew that Uchiha Fugaku had no problem dealing with Raikage, but he didn't expect that this guy actually made Raikage lose his arm more than ten years in advance.

All I can say is that they are indeed a father and son.

When Uchiha Sasuke attacked the Five Kage Conference in the original work, he did not have the eyes as powerful as Uchiha Fugaku now.

But Sasuke still asked the Raikage to cut off his own arm. Now it was Uchiha Fugaku, and it seemed that it was not that difficult to do this.

After all, they are all ninjas who have mastered the "Amaterasu" technique.

As long as the timing is right and Amaterasu covers Susanoo when the Raikage launches continuous attacks, it will be difficult for the Raikage not to be hit.

After all, Raikage has a strong character. When faced with the choice of 'advance or retreat' at a critical moment, his choice is always 'one step forward'!

This approach is very risky, and it is also very easy for people to find opportunities.

"It seems that Fugaku-kun's side has been completely stabilized. By the way, it has also improved the morale of the front line."

Uchiha Kei looked at the report and couldn't help but sigh: "By the way, where is the Sandaime Hokage? What is his current situation? I remember that he seems to be responsible for coordinating and cutting off supplies?"

"Ah, yes."

Namikaze Minato nodded, he took out a map without hesitation and pointed at it.

"He has entered the country of Yu. Their actions are very secretive. No one knows where they are except me, Shikaku, and now you."

"It seems that I shouldn't ask." Uchiha Kai sighed slightly: "It's such a secret, you should remind me next time."

"It's okay for you to know. Can't I even trust you?"

Namikaze Minato smiled nonchalantly: "They are now looking for Kumogakure's supply line. I'm afraid no one will pay attention to their own supply line problems when facing us now."

This is a fact, because Konoha's ability to cut off supply lines can really be said to be the strongest in the ninja world.

Think about it, how the Third Ninja War stopped.

In addition to the entanglement of various interest factors and various poor decisions, the most critical point is that Konoha cut off Iwagakure's supply line.

As a result, Iwagakure's thousands of ninjas in the Land of Grass directly lost their supplies and lost their retreat route, becoming truly lonely ghosts.

In addition, Iwagakure used the human sea tactic to directly massacre the Third Raikage, causing the Kumo ninja to directly withdraw from Konoha and prepare to seek revenge on Iwagakure.

Iwagakure also had to cease the war for the safety of his hometown.

But no matter how you look at it, this time's approach of cutting off Iwagakure's logistics route is extremely successful and deterrent.

But no ninja village is willing to become Konoha's next target, and it is obvious that Kumogakure is even more unwilling to become this unlucky target.

"It seems that the Third Hokage and the others are tired." Uchiha Kei smiled softly.

"Not only do you have to try every means to hide yourself, but you also have to constantly dispatch personnel to investigate and screen whether the supply routes are correct. It's really difficult for him."

"Indeed, but I can only believe him now." Namikaze Minato sighed slightly.

"There are not many people we can use now. In fact, I really want Minister Shikaku to go, but his father is old and cannot be like he was during World War III, and the help he can provide in the rear seems to be greater. "

"Indeed, it would be great if Minister Shikaku could be on the battlefield." Uchiha Keiya nodded, but now this idea is basically impossible to realize.

Just as Namikaze Minato said, now Nara Shikaku's father is old and has basically started to step down, which is considered to have completely abdicated.

In addition, he has been away from the Ministry of Government for some time. If he returns to this position, he may not be able to achieve the performance of Nara Shikaku now.

Although there is also a trust issue here, there are also other issues.

But after all, the Ministry of Government Affairs is too important, and Nara Shikaku may not be able to leave for the time being.

Although the Third Hokage could also serve as Acting Minister of Government Affairs, it was difficult to kick him out of these key areas.

Now even if the reconciliation is announced to the outside world, no one is willing to take the risk.

Even if Namikaze Minato is willing, others who follow him may not be so willing.

Therefore, it became an inevitable choice to let the Third Hokage, an old Hokage who still had strength and commanded World War II and World War III, come up.

"But Sandaime-sama should not have any problems, he is very scheming." Uchiha Kai said to comfort him: "By the way, when should I go up?"

"It's still early, let's wait until we plan to end this war." Namikaze Minato said with a smile: "Now, I think we can almost make some changes."

"Ah." Uchiha Kai nodded: "Indeed, we can make some preparations. I'm afraid Konoha will not be peaceful in a few months."

When Uchiha Kei and Namikaze Minato were discussing this type of topic, the situation on the battlefield began to become more tense.

However, this kind of tension is completely within the acceptable range.

After all, after Uchiha Fugaku's "wonderful performance", the Fourth Raikage's injured evacuation not only greatly improved the morale of Konoha, but also made the Kumo ninja side not dare to act so rashly.

Although they are still fighting, the scale of the fighting has returned to normal, but it is a small-scale battle with intensive teams.

They circled the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Tang, and countless conflicts broke out.

Now, the way both sides fight almost every day is to check whether there are enemy troops on their side and protect their respective strongholds.

Of course, they will also try to continue to encroach on the other party's sphere of influence through such small-scale conflicts, so that their troops can advance smoothly.

This fighting conflict lasted for a month without realizing it.

However, during this month, it was not that relatively large conflicts broke out.

For example, one time the two sides fought over a strategic area and ended up fighting.

Even if both sides were more restrained this time, there were still nearly a thousand ninjas participating in the battle. You can imagine what a battle between nearly a thousand ninjas would be like.

The final outcome was that neither party got a good deal.

And that area also lost its strategic value due to the small-scale deformation of the terrain directly due to the coverage of ninjutsu.

In the end, both sides had to give up the fight for that place.

However, with the fight like this, neither Uchiha Fugaku nor the Fourth Raikage came forward, which can be regarded as a successful containment.

However, Uchiha Fugaku did not dare to be complacent at all. The Fourth Raikage's trick was nothing, and that guy had not completely lost his fighting ability.

And he didn't forget that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki hadn't been dispatched yet.

Although it is said that they also have the Third Hokage on their flank, this kind of thing is really not that easy to say clearly.

Because there was no confrontation, they had no idea what the true strength of both sides was.

"Damn Konoha!"

In the camp of Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage hammered the table hard, and the table turned into pieces directly under his fist.

None of the surrounding Kumo ninja generals dared to say anything. They all knew that the Fourth Raikage was under great pressure during this period.

The war was dragged directly into the quagmire, which was definitely not what the Fourth Raikage expected.

A whole month into the fighting, they actually only had two large-scale battles.

Moreover, a raid led by Raikage failed, which was completely inconsistent with their expectations.

Although the elders in the village still remain cautiously optimistic, even the frontline ninjas remain optimistic.

After all, they firmly believe that they are stronger than Konoha, but this delay really makes them uncomfortable.

Especially since they haven't found the Third Hokage's unit yet, they seem to be missing and can't be found at all.

Although that unit was known through intelligence, it only had 2,000 people.

But these two thousand people were hiding on their flanks, or even behind them. How could they dare to act rashly in such a situation?

If they launch a large-scale raid and this force appears out of nowhere, how can they stand it?

It's not like they haven't thought about sending a troop into the Country of Fire.

But there is a existence like the Hyuga clan in Konoha. It can only be said that the configuration is different and it really cannot achieve that effect.

What's more, the team is led by the Third Hokage. Even though this old man is almost sixty, no one dares to underestimate him.

After a long time, the Fourth Raikage seemed to have calmed down a lot. He asked directly: "When will our reinforcements come?"

"Raikage-sama, there's about a week left." At this time, a Kumo ninja quickly replied.

"Very good. Send a message back and ask them not to get close to the main force when they come over. They can just disperse and sweep behind us."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a while and said directly: "We always have the advantage in terms of frontal troops. We must let them find that force. We still have fewer people sent out now."

"Yes, Lord Raikage." The cloud ninja nodded.

In order to maintain a frontal superiority in dealing with Konoha, the number of troops responsible for searching for the Third Hokage was never large.

Now a thousand people are being added to search. The Fourth Raikage doesn't believe that the Third Hokage's team can really become invisible.

These guys in Konoha are only able to achieve this step by relying on their super-powerful detective skills.

Since the configuration is not comparable, let’s make up for it with the number of people!

The Fourth Raikage thought clearly, and he really had something on his mind now.

For example, should we try to imitate those of Kirigakure and get a Byakugan?

But he soon shook his head, this was obviously unrealistic.

"By the way, is there any news from the Todai side?" Suppressing his thoughts, the Fourth Raikage continued to ask: "He has not reported for a month. Is there any news about the shadow in Konoha?"

"This." The Yun Ninja hesitated when he heard the words, and finally he reluctantly said: "I haven't received any news so far. Maybe it's because Lord Todai is keeping silent."

Remain silent?

When the Fourth Raikage heard the news, the veins on his forehead popped out.

What kind of answer is a month of silence?

Is it possible?

The Fourth Raikage thought of this and didn't dare to think about it anymore. This guy Tudai has always been cautious.

To be honest, although he is not a latent ninja, his ability to avoid Konoha's investigation and pursuit should be the least problematic.

But after a month of no contact, the Fourth Raikage no longer dared to think in a good direction even though he was optimistic.

This made him extremely helpless, and he even regretted why he agreed to let Tutai accept this task.

Even though Tutai was very well prepared, he had read a lot of information and information.

Even the maps of various routes into Konoha have been completely memorized.

But no matter how well prepared you are for this kind of mission, you can't handle all kinds of accidents.

Now it seemed that Tutai had encountered an accident, and he didn't know what the accident was.

"Brother." Just when the Fourth Raikage was extremely angry, Kirabi suddenly spoke: "How about we join forces?"

"Huh?" The Fourth Raikage frowned upon hearing this: "No, if we attack together and the Third Hokage raids our camp, then..."

"I mean, you attack from the front and I support you from the side, idiot."

Kirabi continued in that rapping form: "If I meet the Third Hokage, I can also compete with him. If not, we can try to raid Konoha's camp, idiot, idiot."

"Huh?" The Fourth Raikage frowned. He was thinking seriously about the feasibility of this matter.

But in the end he shook his head, but then he nodded again
