I became the head of the Uchiha clan

"I hope so," Fugaku said, "Have there been many changes in the Kingdom of Rain recently? The place I stay is too remote and I cannot see the changes in other parts of the Kingdom of Rain."

"There are indeed changes," Uchiha Jin said: "The rain ninjas are obviously shrinking their troops. The rain ninjas who used to be encountered frequently are now very rare."

Fugaku nodded. It seems that Hanzo is not stupid. The Three Kingdoms of Wind, Earth, and Fire have not yet exerted their strength. It is estimated that the Kingdom of Rain has lost a lot of men. If they do not shrink their troops, the Three Kingdoms have not yet been defeated. The Rain Ninja Village will be destroyed first.

"The rain ninja wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first," Fugaku said: "After all, the small country does not have enough resources. If the three big countries each consume about the same amount, then they can intervene, and the results will be better."

Jin nodded and said: "None of these old guys are simple. I don't know what the higher-ups in Konoha think."

"Don't worry," Fugaku said, "This is not something we can decide. As long as the Uchiha's own strength is brought into play in the war, it will be enough."

Farewell to Jin, Fugaku returned to his tent to rest. After two consecutive fights in the hinterland of the Iwa ninja, Fugaku was extremely exhausted and needed to take some time off.

At noon the next day, the Uchiha En team came back, but the situation was not very good. Someone in the team was killed. Death was a daily occurrence in the forward camp.

War is always cruel, and everyone should be prepared to die from the first day they become ninjas, including Uchiha Fugaku.

Every mission is a dance on the edge of a knife, so Fugaku is extremely cautious in every action to minimize the occurrence of accidents.

Only in the evening did Fugaku meet Uchiha En, who had just handed over the mission.

"Fugaku, Jin, is here," Uchiha Yan said: "This time we were ambushed by Suna Ninja. After breaking out, four people died of poison, and the others were injured. It was my carelessness."

"You can't blame others for this situation," Fugaku said: "The sand ninja are good at using poison. With the current medical level, it is only a luxury to hope to treat them."

"By the way Fugaku, I have a letter here that was given to you by the patriarch," Uchiha En took out a letter and handed it to Fugaku.

Fugaku took the envelope, which read "Uchiha Fugaku personally". It was his father's handwriting, and there were no signs of being opened on the adhesive part of the envelope. It was certain that this letter had not been read by anyone else.

Fugaku tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and read it carefully.

The letter mentioned that Konoha has secretly sent two reinforcements to the Land of Rain, and there are no children of the Uchiha family among them. Uchiha Tenjo plans to propose to the Third Hokage in the near future to increase the number of troops in the Land of Rain to provide a force for the war on Konoha's front line.

Partial force.

Uchiha Tenjo's behavior is not only a statement, but also an attempt to restore the family's image among the villagers.

The two groups of reinforcements sent by Konoha did not come to the forward camp, perhaps to open up new strongholds.

In the long run, the final war will be against three countries, with only forward camps for supplies. Once the war becomes fierce, it will be somewhat stretched and the distance is too far.

Establishing a stronghold nearby is the best way, but now that it's time for a full-scale war, the stronghold needs to be kept secret.

After two days of continuous training, the team set off again to perform a mission in the northwest of the Kingdom of Rain.

Time passed quickly, and three months flew by in the blink of an eye. Fugaku spent his fourteenth birthday on the mission.

The kunai pierced the heart of the Iwa nin before him, and a message appeared in his mind.

"Kill a rock ninja jonin and gain a medium amount of eye power."

The three-month fighting mission is over. After three months of fighting, the entire team has undergone tremendous transformation. Even the former newcomer Yamamoto Kazusuke has made great progress.

"Let's go," Fugaku looked at the eleven members in front of him with a calm face and said, "The mission is over. Return to the forward camp to hand over the mission."

The mission started smoothly. Later, the Iwa Ninja also noticed that teams were often killed for no apparent reason. He organized teams to conduct searches many times. In the next two months, he was considered lucky to be able to kill one team of Iwa Ninja every month.

.

In three months, a total of seven groups of Iwa Ninja and Rain Ninja teams were killed, with a total of 68 people. It was considered a perfect completion of the mission.

For three months, the forward camp showed no signs of expansion. It just kept the number of people at a certain number. Perhaps several major powers had some kind of secret agreement, and the war situation did not expand.

However, the hatred in people's hearts is gradually increasing. Every time a ninja dies, people's hatred will increase. When the hatred reaches the limit, it is time for a full-scale war.

Walking into Hatake Sakumo's tent, the opponent is still as sharp as ever, but the pressure on Fugaku is much less. In three months, Fugaku has made rapid progress, and the other team members are not like the cold sweat on their backs when they first met.

The tent has not changed much from the last time I came here, except for the markings on the model of the Land of Rain in the center.

"Team 009 Uchiha Fugaku led the team to hand over the mission," Fugaku looked directly at Hatake Sakumo who was standing next to the Rain Country model and said: "This mission killed forty-seven Iwa ninjas and twenty-one Rain ninjas.

Sixty-eight people in total.”

The surprise in Hatake Sakumo's eyes flashed away and he said: "You are the best performing team among many fighting teams, with no team members lost and a high degree of mission completion.

Uchiha Fugaku is indeed worthy of his name as an Uchiha genius. Your preliminary tasks are completed and you can return to Konoha to recuperate for a while and wait for new tasks."

"Hatake-senpai," Yamada Shinji said, "Next time we carry out the mission, it will still be twelve of us."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said: "It depends on Konoha's arrangements, but some of you can already be promoted to Jonin. I'm afraid it will be difficult to be assigned to a team for the next mission.

Rest in the camp for two days, and a group of ninjas will return to Konoha the day after tomorrow. When you go back, there will be another group of ninjas to replace you."

Fugaku understood what Hatake Sakumo meant. It seemed that Konoha was using the battlefield of Rain Country to train its troops. It is estimated that the other two countries had the same idea, but it was a bit cruel, and those who were eliminated died directly.

Many years have passed since the last ninja war. No one dares to start a full-scale war without understanding each other's strength. Fighting each other is both a test and a kind of training.

After coming out of Hatake Sakumo's tent, the entire team was filled with joy and relaxation.

Only after experiencing war can we understand the greatness and hard-won peace.

It is everyone's dream to leave the battlefield and live a peaceful life.

"Captain, what are you going to do when you return to Konoha?" Yamada Shinji said: "After returning from the brutal fighting to a peaceful life, I feel like there is nothing to do."

"Hypocritical," Satomaru said: "I haven't returned to Konoha yet. By the time you get bored, the mission will probably come again."

Fugaku watched several team members bickering and did not stop them. Concentrating on fighting for a long time was too taxing on the human body. Having team members can adjust the atmosphere and relax them.

It can be seen from what Hatake Sakumo said today that it will be difficult for the team to get together again in the future.
