Uchiha You's eyelids twitched when he saw the new order. He actually pushed himself and the Tiger Unit directly to the front line, and to the most critical central salient.

This is a large hill with a small slope. For ninjas, it is no different from a plain and does not pose any obstacle at all.

But for a ninja army, the existence of this hill blocked a large area of ​​the battlefield view. If they didn't occupy this hill, they wouldn't know what was hidden behind it.

Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's the army of Konoha ninjas.

The battle between ninjas is a competition of intelligence, and the confrontation between ninja armies is also intelligence-first. Orochimaru concluded that as long as this mountain is in Konoha's hands, Kirigakure will never dare to break through, and eventually this will become a salient and the core support point of Konoha's defense line.

So even though the military force was extremely tight, Orochimaru still deployed 300 ninjas here and assigned three senior ninjas to strengthen the force.

Even so, he couldn't feel at ease, but there were really no extra troops to be deployed.

It was in such a desperate situation that Orochimaru thought of Uchiha Yu, the Ninjutsu and Tactics Study Club, and the Tiger Force.

He was like a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw. He clung to this hope tightly and pushed Uchiha You directly to the most dangerous, most difficult, but also the position that was easiest for him to become famous.

Uchiha You had a lot of things he wanted to say to Orochimaru, but he couldn't disobey orders on the battlefield.

If the order was issued to him alone, facing such a fatal order, the alone Uchiha You would turn around and leave, and directly become a traitor.

Between two evils, choose the lesser one. Compared with the risk of being besieged by the Kirigakure Ninja Army and dying on the battlefield, all the inconveniences and poverty brought about by becoming a rebel ninja are acceptable conditions.

But now the order was issued to the Tiger Unit, and all 101 Uchiha Genin were covered by the order. If he ran away, it would be tantamount to labeling each of these children as a traitor, and they would all suffer the fate of having their families destroyed.

Uchiha You couldn't be so cruel, so he silently accepted the order and quickly moved to the Kubota salient with the Tiger Force.

It’s just a battle. Uchiha You doesn’t think he is a weakling. The outcome is still unknown.

Besides, even if he was attacked by a Kage-level ninja, he was confident that he could hold on long enough to wait for reinforcements.

Even if he was defeated, he could imitate the tragic scene of the Second Hokage, covering the children of the Tiger Unit and then "dying in battle" on the battlefield.

Of course, he would not seek death. Instead, he would let Miwa Masayo return to Konoha Village through fire jump, perform reverse summoning on himself in his own home, and use the influence of illusion to create the most tragic sacrifice with no body left.

Then he packed up his family's property, and from then on he wandered around the world under an assumed name, waiting until all the ninjas of this generation had died, and then he would come out and move around leisurely.

Uchiha Obito was able to successfully fake his death and escape with the help of White Zetsu, so there is no reason why Uchiha Yuu couldn't do it with the help of Miwa Masaya.

War is the catastrophe that Uchiha You must face in his pursuit of the best conditions for cultivating immortals.

If you can cross it, you can walk on the road to prosperity, and live a happy life with abundant resources and countless followers. If you can't cross it, you can hide in the uninhabited areas of deep mountains and old forests, live a quiet but poor life of cultivating immortals with little food and clothing, and walk the path of cultivating immortals with a pure mind and few desires.

After carefully inspecting the Kubota Hill, Uchiha You began to formulate a defensive battle plan based on the terrain and the characteristics of the Kirigakure Ninja.

"Before we discuss this, please arrange your team members to dig drainage ditches according to my sketch. The deeper and denser the ditches, the better."

Uchiha You said: "When fighting against the Kirigakure ninja, the first thing to do is to pay attention to the problem of drainage. You can't let the enemy change the battlefield environment during the fight."

"clear!"

After arranging the excavation work, the five captains and vice-captains regrouped, gathered around Uchiha Yu, and began to discuss the Tiger Force's battle plan.

In order to save time, Uchiha You said directly: "I don't plan to defend Kubota Village to the death. This village is too big, and it is difficult to fill it with 300 ninjas. The 100 ninjas in our Tiger Unit cannot effectively defend it."

“So I’m going to play a motion offense game here.”

"Movement? Offense?"

Uchiha You clapped his hands and said, "The terrain here is open and the area is large enough. Passive defense can never fill it up, but if we fight an offensive battle here, we have enough space to display our skills."

"The 4-4 system is an offensive tactic. We have been practicing it for so long. Shouldn't we try our best or die in a boring defensive battle?"

"Brother You, tell us what to do. We will listen to you."

"Yes, Brother You is an experienced and senior ninja. We can't even judge right from wrong right now. Just tell us how to fight."

Uchiha You was no longer polite and laid out his plan: "We need to divide our forces. The six teams will be divided into two parts. On one side, the five teams will serve as the main attacking force, and on the other side, the team I will lead will serve as the auxiliary force, relying on the Kubota village to deal with the enemy."

"The main attack force will maneuver back and forth on the hill, attacking any enemy that enters the counterattack line. After defeating the enemy, the main force will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack and eliminate as many Kirigakure ninjas as possible."

"But be careful not to exceed the counterattack cut-off line to avoid being ambushed by the enemy."

"Don't worry about your back when the main force attacks, leave everything to me."

Uchiha Kazushi was the smartest and boldest among the captains, and he quickly discovered the problem.

He Si couldn't help but say, "Brother You, this tactic will definitely work the first or second time."

"But the enemy has plenty of troops. After suffering a loss, they will certainly adopt the tactic of three-sided siege. It's OK for us to lead the main force to counterattack one side, but how can you withstand the attack from two sides with a detachment?"

Uchiha You joked, "Yo, you look down on me."

Uchiha Hesi was so worried about Uchiha You that he didn't realize it was a joke. He explained anxiously, "Brother You, I'm not like that..."

Uchiha You stretched out his hand to stop Kazushi from making excuses, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not being brave, but I've considered it carefully."

"Kubota Village is difficult to defend because it is too large for our Tiger Force of more than 100 people. The perimeter of the village wall is more than two kilometers, and the width of the defense line that each person is responsible for reaches 200 meters. It is impossible to defend it."

"But I changed my mindset. I didn't stop the enemy from entering the village. I fought the enemy in the complex environment of the village. Think about it carefully, isn't the situation reversed?"

Uchiha Hesi slapped Uchiha Tadamichi's thigh hard. Ignoring the astonished and angry look of the victim, he shouted excitedly: "Why didn't I think that the size of Kubotamura would become a difficulty for the enemy. Brother You, you are so awesome."

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts!"

Uchiha Tadamichi is the best friend of Uchiha and Tsukasa. He is the strongest among all the Genin. Although his reaction is a little slow, he is definitely not the kind of guy who would not fight back when being beaten.

He waited calmly until He Si finished talking before he held his good friend under his armpits. Then he made fists with both hands and squeezed He Si's temples hard in retaliation for him slapping his thigh.

He was very sure that Uchiha and Tsukasa's slap was intentional, and they pretended it was unintentional in an attempt to get away with it.

In response to the two's fight, Uchiha You slapped them on the head and scolded them, "This is a military meeting, be serious! Both of you!"

Uchiha Shigenobu asked: "Brother You, since you have changed your mindset, why don't we just go all out in the village and fight the Kirigakure ninja? It's just defense anyway."

"Absolutely not." Uchiha You rejected Shigenobu's idea and emphasized, "Everyone must remember that only victory can allow the most people to survive in the war, and defense can never win, so defense is only a means to assist offense."

"We are the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, and we are also the abandoned pawns of the clan. In a battle where the Konoha ninjas are at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, we cannot expect others to launch a counterattack to support us."

"We can only save ourselves. Even if Konoha is on the defensive in the overall battle situation, our Tiger Force must attack and continue to attack until the final victory!"

Among the 102 members of the Tiger Corps, except Uchiha Yu, none of them are qualified to appear in the clan meeting. As the lower class of the Uchiha clan, they do not have the excessive pride of the higher-level ninjas. They have all experienced the hardships and sufferings of the lower-level ninjas, and their trust in the higher-ups of the clan is not high.

They were rushed to the battlefield by the family's top leaders and the Third Hokage, but instead of breaking them up and dividing them into separate teams, they were allowed to stick together.

After Uchiha You's education, they all knew that this was not a good thing, but the worst case scenario, and it was clear evidence that they were being treated as different.

A group of pure Uchiha Genin, they are cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time. If they are thrown into battle and die at the critical moment, the Uchiha high-ranking officials will not feel sorry for them, and the Konoha Village high-ranking officials will feel even less sorry for them, and they may even be very happy.

If they hadn't met Uchiha Yu, dying in despair in the war would have been their destined fate.

So when Uchiha You said that Konoha Village would not organize ninja rescue when it was at a disadvantage, they all believed it 100%.

Uchiha You continued to describe the details of the tactical changes, including the signals of various tactical changes, communication methods, etc.

Several captains quickly understood the tactical arrangement. Although they had no ability to judge whether the tactics were correct, they all accepted it because it sounded very reasonable and was the most trustworthy tactic from Brother You.

In fact, Uchiha You didn’t know whether it was correct or not, because this was a tactic, and to a large extent, tactics were neither right nor wrong.

There are too many factors that can affect tactical outcomes, including climate, temperature, weather, equipment, one's own strength, the enemy's strength, and the enemy's ideas. Any one of them may lead to a reversal of the outcome of the battle.

Tactics can only be correct because they lead to victory, and strategy can only win because it is correct.

Whether the tactics designed by Uchiha You are right or wrong can only be known after the battle is over.

Soon, the ninjas of the Tiger Unit dug the drainage ditches. Six vertical and four horizontal ditches crisscrossed each other, forming a complex drainage network.

Each ditch is wide and large. Even if the entire shark-faced Hoshigaki family comes, the sprayed water will be drained away by these ditches, and the flood will soon be drained away.

Then Uchiha You arranged the civil engineering work for the personal bunker. He said: "If our tactics are effective, after a few victories in battle, the enemy will use large-scale ninjutsu to clean the ground."

"Based on the characteristics of the Kirigakure ninja, they will probably gather hundreds of water-style ninjas and use the water-style Great Explosion Water Wave at the same time, creating a tsunami out of thin air to impact the entire Kubota Hills."

"We can't hold on at this time. We need a shelter buried deep underground to protect ourselves, but we Uchiha are not good at earth escape. We can only make preparations in advance."

"In short, I want to tell you that more sweat before the battle means less blood during the battle."

"Which one should I choose between blood and sweat? I think everyone will have their own answer."

Uchiha You asked them all to go back and lead the team to continue the civil engineering work, but left Uchiha Tadamichi alone and instructed: "Tadamichi, I have a task for you."

"Go and ask every team member if anyone has anything copper. Collect all the copper and make copper whistles in the shape of the bamboo whistles we use during training. Make sure every captain, team leader, and deputy captain has one."

"Yes! I'll go right away." Uchiha Tadamichi didn't ask why. He directly accepted the order and started to carry out the mission.

In the early stage of the 4-4 system tactical training, Uchiha Yu followed the 3-3 system training outline and added training content for special environments such as night combat, fog, and rain forest. In the case of poor visibility, the communication between the captain, team leader and team members depends on the whistle. As long as the training is sufficient, not only can the information be transmitted faster, but also the problem of easy mistakes in verbal communication can be avoided.

The enemy will only feel confused when hearing the whistle, because the whistle sounds heard from the enemy's position are chaotic, one after another, and it is impossible to distinguish the rhythm and belonging.

But the next battle will be with the Kirigakure ninjas. It can be foreseen that the Tiger Unit will inevitably fight in the Kirigakure technique, and will be frequently hit by floods, with their bodies repeatedly soaked.

In this way, the whistle made of bamboo will become wet, and the tone and sound produced will be distorted and mutated, which may make it difficult to identify, so it is necessary to replace it with a material that will not change the sound after soaking in water.

After seeing off Uchiha Tadamichi, Uchiha You stood on the roof of the tallest building in the center of Kubota Village, silently watching the children busying around the hill with his Sharingan for a long time without saying a word.

At this time, Miwa Masayo quietly appeared at his feet, gently climbed onto his shoulders, and gently asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Well, think about every detail again to see where there are loopholes and problems."

"Didn't you find meow?"

Uchiha You smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but I can't help but let my imagination run wild. There must be something I haven't thought of."

"You, you weren't like this before, meow. What happened today, meow?"

"Before? In the past, I always made 100% thorough preparations for escape, and only started fighting when I had a 95% chance of winning."

"You must win before you can fight!"

"But now I don't have such control, I lack experience in commanding battles, I lack experience in fighting the Kirigakure ninjas, and I don't have any specific intelligence about the Kirigakure ninjas. I estimate that I only have a 75% chance of winning. How can I not worry?"

"Meow... meow, you meow."

Sanlun Yashi was confused. No wonder his owner was always timid and unwilling to fight before, especially when encountering unexpected situations, he would retreat almost immediately. But once he fought, he could always win easily and neatly.

This is really too cautious.

The tabby cat snorted and retorted, "Then why don't you prepare until you are 100% sure of victory before going into battle, meow?"

Uchiha You shook his head seriously and said: "This is impossible to achieve."

"2% is respect for fate. The enemy will also have a strong desire to win and an unignorable desire to survive. Maybe a miracle can be created."

"3% is a tribute to Brother Jiuchengba. The dignity of the Supreme Gou Dao cannot be challenged. How dare a mere mortal like me compare with him?"

"..., you're talking nonsense again, meow."

"Ah!" Uchiha You suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "I figured it out, there is indeed a loophole!!"

He suddenly jumped off the roof, so fast that Sanlun Yashi couldn't stand on his shoulders. She hugged the poop shoveler's neck tightly with her two paws and asked in surprise: "What loophole did you think of?"

“Water and terrain.”

"I asked my brothers to dig drainage ditches, but I forgot that the height of the Kubota hill is too low. The area is more than 30 square kilometers, but the drop is only eight meters. It's too flat."

"For a battlefield, this hill is enough to block the view, but for a flood, there is not much difference between this place and a plain. As long as the enemy persists in using water escape for more than four hours, the accumulated water around the hill will surge up. Even if it is a drainage ditch, it will not be able to drain water in a short time."

"I must find a place for this huge amount of water to go, so that the Kirigakure ninja will give up water escape in despair."

Miwa Masayo was dumbfounded. How could the Kirigakure ninjas use water jutsu for four hours? What kind of blow did they have to suffer here? How desperate did they have to be to use such a stupid tactic and insist on changing the battlefield environment?

Uchiha You didn't care about his partner's thoughts. After all, such a thing was possible. He didn't care about the probability before it happened. But if the enemy was really determined to do it, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village would really be able to overwhelm this hill.

If they fight with the Kirigakure ninjas on the flooded surface, all the ninja villages will suffer.

Perhaps they are not afraid of a one-on-one fight, and even some ninjas who are good at water escape can easily win, but when a large-scale ninja army fights on the water, no one can withstand the attack of the Kirigakure ninja.

If Uchiha You didn't make preparations in advance, wouldn't the Tiger Unit be doomed to die at that point?

How is this possible?
