Chapter 237 "Uchiha Line of Defense"

  The border between the country of river and the country of fire, the Konoha defense force is undergoing a large-scale change of defense.

  The defense line originally dominated by the three clans of the pig deer butterfly was taken over by the clansmen led by Uchiha Fuyue.

  Nara Shikaku, headed by many jounin and chunin, will return to Konoha for the crucial chunin exam during the war.

   "Sister Mikoto, you have to be careful, the fourth Kazekage of Sandyin Village is not a good guy to deal with."

  Because of Satoru's relationship, Nara Shikisa, Akimichi Dingza, and Yamanaka Hai are all very respectful of Uchiha Mikoto.

   Yamanaka Kaiichi handed Mikoto a set of documents.

   During the period of vigilance on the front line, they did not do anything.

  A steady stream of intelligence ninjas rushed to the country of wind, trying their best to inquire about any valuable information in the sand hidden village under the new power structure.

  Nara Shikaku's strategic planning and Yamanaka Kaiichi's intelligence acquisition methods have enabled them to have some information on the four generations of Kazekage.

   He sighed softly and smiled bitterly:

   "I thought I could show off my skills, but now I have to go back to train those kids...

   But also, without the level of combat power of Captain Fuyue, if Kazekage takes action personally, we may not be able to support it for long. "

   "However, Mikoto-san, don't blame me for being disheartened. If you are in trouble, don't hesitate, use the portal to ask Satoru for help!"

"I see."

   Uchiha Mikoto, as the Jōnin of Sangou Yu, even as the wife of the Uchiha patriarch, was on the battlefield.

   "I haven't returned to the battlefield for a long time. It reminds me of the first mission after I became a Genin. We went to the Land of Wind."

   Mikoto's pitch-black eyes looked towards the direction of Sandyin Village. Although she was separated by the Kingdom of River, she seemed to have seen the desert of the Kingdom of Wind.

   "I have to say, I was too naive back then."

"Why do you say that?"

  Ding Zuo tried his best to open his eyes, and his small eyes that were so fat that they became a slit also turned in the direction of the Wind Kingdom:

   "The difficulty of the tasks you completed back then was unique among genin, and Mikoto-san, you singled out a genin team from Sandyin."

   The mission of the Orochimaru class that year was used as a typical preaching to them who participated in the actual combat assessment, letting them understand the cruelty of war missions.

   "That's right."

  Mikoto had an unusually serious expression and clenched her fist lightly:

   "Those three Sha Yin Jinnin that I dealt with back then, the only one I let go is called Luo Sha!"

  “…”

  Dingza, Shikaku and Hai opened their mouths wide.

   "He was about the same age as us, and he was already very strong as a genin.

   But he personally killed his teammates in front of me in order to prevent information leakage.

   I really didn’t expect that such a guy would be recognized as the fourth generation of Kazekage! "

   "It turns out that the current four generations of Kazekage almost died prematurely..."

   A gentle male voice sounded, and the trio of pigs and butterflies saw Uchiha Fugaku, who always looked so serious, came over:

   "If I meet this time, I'll come to experience it. How does the bloodline limit of the four generations of Fengying compare to Sharinyan?"

   "Deputy Chief of Staff Nara, thanks for your hard work, our defense has been completed.

   I have to say, Wu-kun's portal... is really shocking. "

  In Konoha, several portals used by the medical team led by Tsunade are top secret.

  It is not easy to build an unattended portal, and Satoru didn't even have time to build a direct portal between the major battlefields.

   Therefore, it was only after Uchiha Fugaku took over the defense that he knew that there was such a foul.

   "Captain Fuyue, in this way, the handover is complete.

   In order not to occupy the portal space, we need to set off and return to the village as soon as possible. "

  Nara Shikahisa, as the former commander, shook hands with Uchiha Fugaku:

   "Then, I'll ask Captain Fugaku later."

   "Just leave it to us - Uchiha, it's not just about catching drunks in the village."

   For the next head of the Nara family, Uchiha Fugaku did not dare to neglect:

   "Thanks for the detailed information you provided, it's really helpful."

   "It's my business, then Captain Fuyue, leave."

   nodded to Mikoto again, Shikaku, Kaiichi, and Dingza turned around to gather half of the troops and returned to Konoha.

   "Fuyue, I went to the orphanage to see... Ye Naiyu and Carnation are there, I haven't seen them for a while, and Kushina also asked me to bring gifts for them."

  Mikoto helped Fuyue manage the combat vest, which is also the enchanted enhanced combat vest that Konoha recently installed on the top of the Chunin:

   "The emotions of the clansmen have been released now, but they haven't experienced a war for a long time, so they still need to be careful."

   "Don't worry, I will pay attention, but you, Mikoto."

   Fuyue thought about it, and suggested:

   "Why don't you help Ye Naiyu and the others at the orphanage, no one can guarantee that the orphanage will not become the target of the enemy's attack——

   After all, there is still a place where the medical team is stationed. No Naiyu's strength is not weak, but there are too many people who need to be protected. "

   "...don't you want me to go to the front?"

  Mikoto looked at Fuyue's somewhat dodging gaze, and couldn't help but chuckle:

   "Okay, I'm not that stubborn, but you have to promise me, if you really see the four generations of wind shadows, don't be brave."

   "Don't worry, I'll pay attention to you and Itachi."

   said, Fuyue was a little distressed again:

   "However, although I have my father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of me, Itachi is just over a year old, so you should be at home."

   "As a Jōnin, the Uchiha clan has finally been entrusted with important responsibilities, how can I be absent."

  Mikoto stretched out a finger and lightly tapped on Fuyue's lips:

   "It doesn't matter to my parents, they are in good health, and it is more assured to give Itachi to them than to the elders in the clan."

   "Team Fuyue...cough, ah, excuse me, farewell."

   A blush flashed across Fuyue and Mikoto's faces, Mikoto pursed her lips, blinked at Fuyue, and walked away.

  Fu Yue grinded his teeth, watched his wife leave, and then turned to look at his subordinates who wanted to escape:

   "You stop for me! The blind guy...what's the matter?"

   "Uh... Captain, there seems to be some movement within the country of Chuan, but I can't tell if it's Sandyin or a local force. You need further instructions."

   "Damn! Can such an important emergency military situation be delayed?

  I see that you are clamoring to go to the battlefield one by one, and you have no war literacy at all!

  Half of the original defense force is still here, and seeing them, Uchiha's face is completely disgraced! "

   Uchiha Fugaku's reprimand made his subordinates unable to lift their heads at all, and could only secretly complain about the heinous behavior of the patriarch's front line feeding dog food.

   He successfully concealed the embarrassment, but also found that what his wife said was really reasonable.

   "You can't go on like this, this is a battlefield, not a clan's land, you must recognize your current identity!"

   "Send the order, send the first and second teams to investigate, try not to attract the attention of the enemy!"

"Yes!"

   "Furthermore, call up the captains of the detachments and give lectures!"

   "...Yes, Captain!"

  …
