Seeing that the three people still couldn't understand, the Third Hokage felt relieved but also depressed.
The reassuring thing is that his intellectual advantage is still so huge that no one can threaten him.
What’s depressing is that no one can understand me. It’s lonely at the top.
Oh, and Sarutobi Hiruzen must explain his plan in person. It would really damage his upright image if the insidious details were spoken out from his own mouth.
Fortunately, we are all family, so occasionally talking about it won’t lead to any negative reputation.
The Third Hokage found the information provided by Shimura Danzo, pointed to a few lines of records and said: "You see, the members of this study group at the beginning were all recognized as the Genin with the worst talents in the Uchiha family, and were considered to be the last ones who were unlikely to open their eyes."
"They were the first beneficiaries whose eyes were opened. From what happened later, these beneficiaries obediently passed on the methods to the children of the upper echelons."
He pointed to the next few lines of records and continued, "Then the list of people who have opened their eyes is mainly composed of children from high-ranking families, but there are still quite a few Uchiha from the lower ranks."
"I won't touch this study group. I'll just take away all these low-level open-eyed people. Will the high-level Uchiha children pass on what they have learned to other low-level Uchiha children?"
The Third Hokage's eyes were no longer warm, and he coldly concluded: "No, most of them won't."
"The Uchiha clan is not a monolithic entity. Their upper echelons are very wary of the lower echelons. This can be confirmed by the fact that the lower echelon Uchiha ninjas cannot learn many ninjutsu."
"Of course, there are many weirdos in the Uchiha family, so there will definitely be a few generous ones. Then I will remove them specifically until the lower-level Uchiha can learn nothing."
"There are only a few high-ranking Uchiha. Even if all their children open their eyes, how many more pairs of Sharingan can they have than two months ago?"
Danzo Shimura felt as if everything in front of him became clear. The huge problem that he had no idea how to solve was completely solved by Sarutobi Hiruzen with just one command.
He smiled and said, "Okay, in this way, the Uchiha leaders will take the initiative to help us and send those newly born Sharingan to the battlefield."
"Okay, okay, send them all to the battlefield of Kirigakure. They are the most difficult enemy for Uchiha ninjas."
"If all of them go to the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village, it will be too conspicuous. If some of them go to the battlefield of the Land of Rain, that place won't be very comfortable either."
Once the general framework of the plan was formed, Danzo Shimura added the conspiracy very smoothly and came up with two vicious ideas in the blink of an eye.
He is worthy of being Sarutobi Hiruzen's closest comrade-in-arms and most capable assistant.
After an urgent discussion among the F4 high-level officials of Konoha Village, the Third Hokage conducted a second round of mobilization, but this time he did not specify any specific names.
A few days later, he was satisfied to see that the list submitted by Uchiha Fugaku included almost all the old study club members.
This was a strong suggestion from elders such as Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Shipo, and was decided by Uchiha Fugaku after being fiercely opposed by Uchiha Yuichiro and Uchiha Ryunosuke.
In his opinion, he and other high-ranking officials have already mastered all the secrets of opening the eyes, so there is no need to protect these low-talented Genin who are almost doomed to never be promoted to the two-magatama Sharingan.
Since the eight captains including Uchiha Shigenobu are leaving, their captain positions will naturally be revoked. Uchiha Fugaku will be able to appoint new captains and completely take over the entire study group.
So he took advantage of the situation and packed up the entire study session and handed it over to the Hokage, and then these poor Genin were sent to the Land of Hot Spring and the Land of Rain.
Uchiha You learned what happened and didn't show any surprise. He knew from the beginning that old man Xin Yin and the two elders Yuichiro and Ryunosuke could not protect the study group.
Because the threat not only comes from within the family, but also from the Third Hokage in the village.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku reached a tacit understanding, this was an irresistible trend. What could the two family elders do?
At most they hugged their own children.
Uchiha You looked around and asked, "Momoko, Ikki, and Rinka all went to the Rain Country?"
Uchiha Shigenobu replied: "The only one who went to the Rain Country is Ichimu. He is now wallowing in muddy water every day. He is even worse off than us."
"As for Momoko and Rinka... they're both married."
Uchiha You was shocked: "Huh?"
Miwa Masayo was shocked: "Meow?"
"No..." Uchiha You was dumbfounded. He could hardly believe his ears. "Uchiha Momoko is only 18 years old, and Rinka is just 17 years old. If they are civilians, it is too late to get married."
"But they are ninjas, and open-eyed Uchiha ninjas, so why are they suddenly getting married?"
Uchiha Kazushi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother You, you really don't know."
"It's because they are Uchiha female ninjas with open eyes that they get married so quickly."
Uchiha You clashed his fists and palms together, and cursed with sudden realization: "Damn it, the top management and the direct descendants are still doing this bloodline selection thing, it really should be swept into the trash."
Opening the eyes is proof of the Uchiha members' pure bloodline. The children born to female ninjas who can open their eyes will naturally have purer bloodlines and will be more likely to open their eyes and gain bloodline power.
This kind of dog-raising and horse-raising mentality is very popular in the Uchiha family. In fact, it is even more serious in the Hyuga family, where blood marriages between cousins are common.
There are not many Uchiha female ninjas to begin with, and female ninjas who can open their eyes are even rarer. Therefore, even if they come from the lower class, as long as they open their eyes, they will be highly sought after by the higher-ups, and will soon retire, get married, and have children.
An outstanding ninja like Uchiha Mikoto, even though she awakened the three-magatama Sharingan, was targeted by Uchiha Fugaku early on, and retired and got married when she was just in her early 20s.
This study session seemed to be a complete failure, but the girls all stayed in Konoha Village. They were the favorites to open their eyes, and there was no way the clan leader would let them out now.
Looking around, there were 103 creatures present, and 102 of them were bachelors, big and small, and the cat, Miwa Yashiro, was the only female.
Faced with this social reality, Uchiha Youya was helpless and could only sigh secretly.
Meow, even the heroes of Liangshan Marsh are not as pure as their own team!
He could only hope that as his younger brothers grew stronger, the team he led wouldn't become a pure monk team in the future.
Uchiha You calmed down, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Since we are gathered together on the battlefield of Hot Spring Country, why don't we all stay together? Let's live together, train together, take missions together, and then fight the Kirigakure Ninja together."
The Uchiha Genins cheered happily.
Although they were only raped by Uchiha Yu for a little over a month, the seeds of suggestion had been planted in their hearts by Uchiha Yu. Such high-intensity rape for a month was equivalent to the effect of a normal year.
Some of Uchiha You's three views, with the repeated explosion of the seeds of suggestion, unconsciously penetrated into the hearts of the Genin.
They were originally the lower class of the Uchiha clan. They were not as proud as those Uchiha clans who were able to participate in clan meetings or even join the security forces. They were not overly enthusiastic about the war, but rather felt quite nervous and fearful.
This is not to say that these Genin have personality problems, but in the Uchiha family, they are the last ones. All they see and hear every day are other geniuses. They are used to being suppressed.
It's like the last few students in the top class. In fact, their test scores are definitely not worse than the top student in the middle class, but they are always ranked last in their daily lives and do not have as much self-confidence as the top student in the middle class.
In addition, influenced by Uchiha Yu's philosophy of survival, they are afraid of war. How could they not welcome and be happy to be led by the eldest brother they trust and admire the most?
After the cheers died down, Uchiha Shigenobu asked, "Brother You, we should have a name when we get together, otherwise it will be very troublesome when we call ourselves by others."
"Yes, Shigenobu is right."
“We still call it a study session?”
"Of course not, idiot."
"That's right. The family study club is still there, but we were kicked out. They won't allow us to use this name anymore."
"Yes, besides, we are on the battlefield now, fighting against the Kirigakure ninja. Saying the name of the study group is too weak and not impressive enough."
"Then it's called the Uchiha Force?"
"The clan leader will punish you severely if he hears this."
"Then we'll call them the Ninja Crows..."
An Uchiha Genin who had summoned the Ninja Crow suggested this, but he was immediately stared at fiercely by the majority of the cat party, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Miwa Masayo, who was lying on Uchiha Yu's shoulder, smiled with satisfaction. Because she was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, she quietly curled her raised white paw back into her chest.
More than a hundred Uchiha Genin argued for a long time, but to no avail.
This is normal, as ninjas mainly receive martial arts training, and most of them lack cultural literacy.
Without anything in mind, I naturally can't think of any good name.
Asking a bunch of guys who can only say "あり得ない" when shocked to come up with a name is like asking a college student who can only say "Wow" to write a poem. There's no hope!
Uchiha You is actually the same, but he is not a fool after all, and he has memorized many good articles.
At this time, he was in the ninja world and did not have to worry about being accused of plagiarism, so he racked his brains to recall those magnificent poems and articles, wanting to give his team a good name.
Yes, now these 101 Genin are all his people, the kind that even Orochimaru can’t take away!
Soon Uchiha You found many excellent poems in his memory, but some of them were too majestic and he felt that he was not worthy of them, so he could only skip them with regret.
Finally, looking at this group of children, the oldest of whom was no more than 18 years old and the youngest was just 11 years old, Uchiha You's mind emerged with words related to teenagers.
The red sun rises, its path bright.
The river flows out and flows into the ocean.
The hidden dragon rises from the abyss, its scales and claws flying.
A young tiger roars in the valley, and all the beasts are frightened.
The eagle spreads its wings and the wind blows.
The rare flower is just born, and it is magnificent and brilliant.
In this series of parallelisms, the red sun is too big, the river is out of shape, the latent dragon is not worthy, the eagle is not liked, and the exotic flower is too feminine, so Uchiha You chose the word "tiger roar".
There is no need to recite the poem, because it would be a waste of effort. Only the Yanhuang race can appreciate the beauty of it. Uchiha You simply told everyone these two, and everyone agreed.
This is the role of identity.
Other companions suggested that everyone would find fault and if something is not perfect, it will be criticized to pieces.
But as long as the problem is not too big, who can stand up to oppose Brother You’s proposal? Aren’t you afraid of being circled and kicked out by your companions?
What's more, the word "tiger roar" is very majestic. Even if we use single words according to the custom of the ninja world, the word "tiger" is majestic enough.
Therefore, the Uchiha Genin army led by Uchiha Yu called itself the "Tiger Roar Force" or the "Tiger Force".
Now that the name was officially confirmed, everyone seemed to have a sense of security in their hearts. Moreover, with the leadership of a backbone, the fear of the battlefield also subsided a lot.
Afterwards, under the command of Uchiha Yu, the Tiger Roaring Force set up tents on the spot, built separating walls, and marked out their own territory in the camp of the Konoha Village Ninja Army.
He also sent people to purchase food and formally reported the establishment of the Tiger Force to the headquarters.
In the future, if the commander has a direct assignment order, it will be given to the Tiger Unit, rather than the lowest ninja squad or individual ninja.
The establishment of the Tiger Unit is of course an independent small team within the Konoha Ninja Army, but this is not a taboo behavior.
On the contrary, all Konoha ninja commanders welcome the establishment of such an organization, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of their command.
In a battle, when the commander needs to quickly mobilize a large force, he only needs to send one command to the Tiger Force to mobilize more than 100 ninjas. But when the target is a three-man team, 34 commands need to be sent to mobilize 100 ninjas.
It is of course obvious which organization is simple and fast.
Of course, this kind of small internal force can only be a small force and must not be too large in scale.
For example, among the more than 6,000-strong Ninja Army of the Land of Hot Springs, Uchiha Yu organized 101 Uchiha Genin to form the Tiger Roaring Force. From Orochimaru to the Third Hokage, everyone would think this was a good thing.
But if he expanded the Tiger Corps to 300 people, Orochimaru might be able to tolerate it, but the Third Hokage would turn his admiration into deep suspicion.
If he continues to expand and increase the Tiger Force to 1,000 people without knowing what's good for him, it would be a serious provocation to Orochimaru.
Even for the sake of his own command authority, Orochimaru would order the Tiger Roaring Corps to disband without hesitation and send Uchiha Yu back to Konoha Village.
What follows is endless surveillance. It is very likely that Uchiha Yu will be thrown into prison, or even forced to become a traitor on purpose, and then be surrounded and killed using this as an excuse.
Not only could the Third Hokage of Konoha Village not tolerate such a powerful Konoha ninja, but the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, also could not tolerate such a powerful member of the clan.
Similar small troops are not uncommon in several large ninja villages. Among them, the puppeteer troop of the Sand Village and the demolition troop of the Iwagakure Village are both successful examples. Their size exceeds a thousand people, and they have even become the elite troops of the ninja village.
The most important condition for the two forces to grow is that the Puppet Master was created by the Second Kazekage, and the Explosive Ninja was created by the Second Tsuchikage, both under the direct command of the highest leader of the ninja village.
As for gaining a reputation on the battlefield, it is not a crucial condition. If a small unit can achieve brilliant results without being commanded by Ying, it may be the fuse that leads to its disintegration.
When Uchiha You was setting up the tent, he naturally thought of all these messy things, but maybe because he had just made a breakthrough, his mentality was very young, and he felt an urge to try it out from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Uchiha You was not really a young man after all, and his little impulse was quickly suppressed.
[Calm down, calm down. I control the Tiger Force just to control the Uchiha, and I control the Uchiha just to collect resources. My only goal is to cultivate immortality. Cultivating immortality can lead to immortality.]
[Uchiha Yuu, your goal is not to dominate the ninja world, not to dominate, not to dominate! ]
[But, it seems quite fun... Phew! ]
…
The establishment of the Tiger Force did not cause much splash. The biggest event at this time was the massive attack from the Hidden Mist Village. The Konoha ninjas from top to bottom were watching the enemy nervously.
Although Uchiha Yu brought back the intelligence early, giving the Konoha Ninja Army enough advance notice, the subsequent reconnaissance was not smooth.
In the two wars that the Kirigakure Ninja had fought, they did not have a brilliant record, but the Kirigakure Ninja Army, which controlled the fleet, had absolute initiative in the early stages of the war. They could land and start fighting wherever they wanted, and the Konoha Ninja could only respond passively.
Moreover, even passive defense requires the Konoha ninja to make considerable sacrifices to achieve it.
The Konoha ninjas did not have enough manpower to fill the coastline of the Land of Hot Springs, so they could only continuously send out ninjas to scout the position of the Kirigakure ninja army, and then adjust the position of their main force to shorten the Kirigakure ninja's first-hand time as much as possible.
But the sea is the absolute home turf of water and ice jutsu. In battles on the sea, the Mist Ninjas who are good at water jutsu have an absolute advantage.
Moreover, the Konoha ninjas were helpless on the sea, while the Kirigakure ninjas had the support of a fleet and could get supplies and reinforcements at any time, which further magnified their advantage.
During the intelligence war, the losses of Konoha ninjas are usually more than 10 times that of Kirigakure ninjas, and if they are unlucky, the loss may even soar to 15 times.
Fortunately, the Hidden Cloud Village, which did not declare war on Konoha Village, was equally nervous about the massive attack of the Hidden Mist Ninja. After emergency communication between Orochimaru and Dodai, the northern section of the eastern coastline of the Land of Hot Springs was handed over to the Hidden Cloud Ninja for defense, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Konoha Ninja Army.
Because of the common enemy's approaching troops, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village had to temporarily unite, and the two sides established a not-so-smooth communication channel. The intelligence reports were too reliable, which finally allowed the ninjas of both sides to remain restrained and not kill each other directly when they met on the sea, avoiding a large loss of reconnaissance ninjas.
Through this series of operations, the Konoha Ninja Army finally maintained control of the Kirigakure fleet, but the intelligence obtained also made Orochimaru deeply confused.
After repeatedly confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, Orochimaru was puzzled and finally expressed his doubts to the staff officer: "Nara Kakuzu, the Kirigakure fleet has stayed on this uninhabited island for more than two days. Is there anything there?"
