Chapter 124: Shifting the battlefield, parting ways
"Patriarch, are you looking for me?"
Walking into Fugaku's camp, he found that Mai Uchiha was also here.
[What kind of rhythm is this, the Uchiha frontline clan meeting? 】
"Brother Xin, sister Buyi, come and eat the watermelon, it's so sweet!"
Mai Uchiha didn't notice anything, and greeted the two of them while enjoying her meal.
"Xin, Buyi, sit down."
Fugaku still spoke seriously, but he lacked the airs of a clan leader.
"it is good."
Uchiha Xin didn't feel anything special. He sat directly next to Mai, picked up a piece of watermelon and started to eat it.
Buyi bowed, sat on the other side a little reservedly, picked up the watermelon, and ate it in small bites.
Looking at Wu who was eating happily next to her, Xin's mind briefly shook off the haze of war.
After a while, after eating two slices of watermelon, Xin wiped the melon juice from her fingers and the corners of her mouth, and sat upright, waiting for the topic to come.
"Xin, what do you think of this war?"
Fugaku asked abruptly.
"Well... Konoha will win, but it has nothing to do with Uchiha!"
[Why do you ask this suddenly?Could it be that the top management is causing trouble again? 】
"Well, Xin, you really have the same capacity as Shisui that far exceeds those of your age."
Fuyue nodded approvingly.
tolerance?I don’t know why, Xin doesn’t want to be associated with this word.
"Clan leader Miuzan, my subordinates are just talking nonsense. If there is any task that needs to be completed by my subordinates, I will certainly live up to my trust!"
Xin was telling the truth this time. The ninjutsu he had learned now had saved him many times on the battlefield.
The growth of these strengths is inseparable from Fugaku's success.
"Very good, he is indeed a genius of the Uchiha clan."
Fugaku felt that no matter whether Uchiha Shin was radical in the relationship between the family and Konoha, his loyalty to the family was unquestionable.
"Yesterday, ANBU brought orders from Lord Hokage and senior advisors to transfer some ninja teams to support the northeastern battlefield."
Fugaku paused and continued,
"I have been ordered to stay here to assist Jiraiya in resisting the Iwagumo coalition, and your team has been called into the support force."
【What's going on?What does the higher-ups mean? We have worked so hard to get used to fighting the Iwagakure ninjas, and now we have to change places again? 】
Xin didn't know what to say. There were four battlefields in the Fire Country. This was a rhythm that wanted him to visit them all.
"Since it is a high-level order, subordinates should obey it, but..."
Xin turned to look at Wu. There was no Fugaku nearby. If he encountered a powerful enemy, he was worried that he would not be able to protect her.
"Besides that, I have something to discuss with you."
"Please tell the patriarch."
"Xiao Wu will stay and join my team."
"Xiao Xin, the previous camp was attacked and we lost a clan member. Xiao Wu just happened to replenish the clan leader's team."
Buyi on the side quickly added.
Uchiha Xin fell into deep thought for a short time, then raised his head and asked,
"Clan leader, are the higher-ups prepared to use the northeastern battlefield as a breakthrough point to repel the Kumogakure troops there first?"
In the past few days, even if he had not left the camp to perform tasks, he could feel that the battlefield here seemed to be in a stalemate, which was somewhat similar to the confrontation with the Kirigakure troops when he left the southeastern battlefield.
"Yes, among the other four countries, only the Kingdom of Thunder is particularly aggressive and has the strongest fighting power in the war against us. The ninja strength of Minato's side can only barely resist their advance."
"I see, the third generation wants to give senior Minato a chance to make a great contribution."
In just a few years, the amount of tasks completed by Namikaze Minato has been extremely close to the conditions for becoming a Kage, and he is only missing one or two major achievements that would shock the ninja world.
When Fugaku heard Xin's words, his eyes changed slightly, and he glanced at Xin without saying anything more.
"Xiao Wu has joined my team, you don't have to worry about her safety."
The great elder spared no effort to help Fugaku, so he naturally wanted to ensure the safety of Mai Uchiha.
"That's fine too."
Xin said with some melancholy, and a pair of tender and slender arms gently held his arm.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely become stronger and won't hold Brother Xin back anymore."
Wu said decisively.
"There are very few Uchiha tribesmen who can open their eyes at the age of 11. Xiao Wu, you have already put most of the tribe to shame. If you continue to work so hard, other tribesmen will be embarrassed to see others."
Phew~~~
Uchiha Mai couldn't help but laugh, feeling very sweet being praised by her beloved.
"However, Brother Xin can defeat Jonin without the Sharingan, but clan members with the Sharingan may not be able to do it. The Sharingan doesn't seem to be that strong!"
It was she who dared to say in front of Fugaku that the Sharingan was not strong.
However, she also realized that the Sharingan is not invincible and cannot be relied on too much.
Hearing Wu's unintentional words, the other three people had different reactions.
Xin nodded in agreement;
Buyi was deep in thought. As she was only a second magatama and specialized in medical ninjutsu, she did not feel the magical effect of the Sharingan in combat, but it did help a lot when performing medical operations;
As for Fugaku, who was at the top, he seemed to be thinking about something, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Wu stuck out her tongue and leaned closer to Xin.
"It's okay, the patriarch knows it!"
A picture flashed in Xin's mind, that night of the night attack, the flash of pupil power's pressure.
"Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shin, lead your team to the headquarters immediately!"
Outside the camp, the messenger ninja loudly conveyed Jiraiya's order.
"Accept orders!"
Fugaku and Xin responded at the same time, stood up at the same time, and left the camp one after another.
After leaving the camp, I found several small teams packing their bags and gathering towards the entrance of the camp.
An hour later, the three members of Team Xin who had received the transfer support task walked out of the headquarters. After quickly packing up, they hurried to the gate of the camp.
After all the teams arrived, Akimichi Tōtō, who was the temporary team leader, gave a loud shout, took the lead, and headed east.
The teams of ninjas behind him followed closely, maintaining their formation and leaping among the woods and rocks.
Qiu Daodong was followed by the members of his team, who were also old acquaintances of Xin.
Hinata Kamon, Futagami Takako, another new member is a new face, he should be a young ninja from a small family.
Hinata Kamon occasionally turned his head to look at Xin not far behind, with mixed emotions.
Assisting Jiraiya in rescuing the head of the Hyuga branch and the son of the Hokage, Uchiha Shin's name has been remembered by many, and he is no longer an unknown person.
Two days later, the support troops had entered the combat zone, slowing down their attack speed, and each team took turns to guard the surrounding area.
During the past two days' trip, they passed through a village.
While resting for the night, he accepted a commission from the village to eliminate a group of bandits more than 20 kilometers outside the village.
This task was assigned by Shudao Tangdong to his team, and he seized every opportunity to train his three subordinates.
Due to the large number of people on the other side, Team Xin was also ordered to act as an auxiliary team just in case.
Uchiha Shin was not interested in killing bandits, so he paddled the whole way.
Inuzuka Suzu and Hinata Kamon cooperated to detect the bandits clearly, allowing everyone to prepare in advance to avoid unknown casualties.
Huita and the other two were the main force in the attack. They had sharp sword skills and had already learned the C-level water escape ninjutsu, water rush wave.
