Chapter 49: Please feel free to command me!

Yamanaka Chujiu had no objections to the assault personnel selected by Orochimaru.

Especially the Uchiha Squad, which could not only largely compensate for potential loopholes in his Mind Severing Realm but also provide a wealth of tactical options.

His only worry was that the Uchiha might not submit to him, leading to human error in command.

But when he saw the specific list, Yamanaka Chujiu was not panicked at all.

The captain of the Uchiha Squad was Uchiha Yashiro, and the members included Uchiha Tekka and Shisui Uchiha.

As long as Shisui was there, he would have a channel for communication, and there would be no misunderstandings that could lead to errors during the infiltration process.

The problem was that the Third Hokage had transferred the entire Uchiha clan to the East Front, deliberately making them fight against Mist Ninja who excelled at Water Style.

And Yamanaka Chujiu also remembered that it was during the slaughter with the Mist Ninja that Shisui carved out the moniker "Body Flicker Shisui."

Why did he suddenly come to the North Front battlefield?

The next moment, Yamanaka Chujiu looked at Orochimaru: "Teacher, did you mobilize the Uchiha?"

Orochimaru smiled triumphantly: "Shimura Danzo is foolish, Teacher Sarutobi is muddled; how could such useful combat power as the Uchiha be wasted on Mist Ninja?"

"It is a pity that I can only mobilize them for a short time; after they finish this campaign, they still have to return to the East Front."

Yamanaka Chujiu gave a thumbs up: "That is already very impressive."

Orochimaru was even more pleased; the feeling of his own student being able to understand how strong he was was truly satisfying!

Tsunade could not understand it at all, because she had no need to understand; whatever she wanted, the Third Hokage had to give it immediately.

Jiraiya was similarly unable to understand; facing this stubborn fellow, Orochimaru did not even know how to explain it.

Nawaki, sigh, this hot-blooded idiot should actually have been Jiraiya's student.

Anko, let's just forget about her.

Intellectual resonance and spiritual compatibility made Orochimaru increasingly satisfied with Yamanaka Chujiu.

He waved his hand: "Let's go, I will introduce you formally and lend you some initial capital."

Yamanaka Chujiu thanked him: "Many thanks, Teacher."

Orochimaru sneered: "No need to thank me; as long as you start commanding, they will all be captivated, and I can only help a little at the first step."

"Once you win this battle, you will be able to take over the task of commanding the main army for me."

Yamanaka Chujiu laughed: "Impossible, unless you become the Fifth Hokage, Teacher."

Orochimaru: "Oh? Oh—, oh hehehehe, Teacher Sarutobi..."

"Then you have a long wait, after all, my teacher has not yet been restored, and if I want to ascend to the Fifth Hokage, it will take at least two years."

Yamanaka Chujiu: "That is already faster than I expected; you do not need to be so anxious."

Orochimaru: "I must be anxious; if I do not become the Fifth Hokage, when will you be able to become the Sixth Hokage?"

"If you do not become the Sixth Hokage, how can I put down all my worries and focus on researching Ninjutsu and science?"

The master and student thus decided on the future Hokage succession; as for the Third Hokage who currently held great power, it could be said they did not take him seriously at all.

This is the Ninja World; true power is rooted in strength!

The Third Hokage's power was indeed great, and his prestige was truly high, but he had no record of personally defeating enemies.

Perhaps the chaotic situation in Konohagakure caused by the Second Hokage's sudden accident and death in the Land of Lightning left too deep a lesson for Sarutobi Hiruzen?

In any case, those who achieved dazzling records in the war were Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and others; they were all forged through real combat on the battlefield.

And the Third Hokage, who sat in Konohagakure, had a contribution to the war that was infinitely close to that of an ordinary Jonin.

The greatest value he exerted was that there was no possibility of him dying on the front lines, and he did not let Konohagakure face the risk of a sudden collapse.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen allowed Shimura Danzo to wantonly suppress Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru, it was equivalent to personally throwing away their two records.

When Minato Namikaze sacrificed himself, he also sealed his dazzling record onto the Memorial Stone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's record was cleared to zero, his power base had disappeared, and only the shell of habit remained.

When Orochimaru was willing to fight with all his might for the position of Fifth Hokage for the sake of Yamanaka Chujiu, the downfall of the Third Hokage was only a matter of time, and a question of how he would go down.

Before Yamanaka Chujiu personally commanded the war, he mistakenly thought that central command was the core of war, worrying that if he performed well, it would strengthen the authority of the Third Hokage.

But after experiencing these few days of practical operation and mastering the overall intelligence, he realized he was wrong; his past-life experience had misled him.

Konohagakure itself provided too little support to the front lines, the pace was too slow, and the intensity was too weak.

No wonder when he said to Shisui Uchiha that Sarutobi Hiruzen had to be responsible for the affairs of all of Konohagakure, that kid would resist it from the bottom of his heart.

Yamanaka Chujiu shook his head with a wry smile; it turned out he was wrong, and Shisui was right!

When he saw that child later, would he feel awkward...

Pfft!

I am not wrong!

The one who is wrong is that ignorant old geezer Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Once my teacher Orochimaru takes office, I will definitely be able to set things right and let the entire Ninja World see what total war is!

What it means when the Konoha army sets out, the outcome is already determined outside the battlefield, and the ninja just walk onto the battlefield to reach out and harvest their fruits of victory!

Thinking this, Yamanaka Chujiu's heart regained confidence, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Shisui Uchiha was a little panicked at this time; on the first day he arrived at the East Front, he broke out into a battle with Mist Ninja.

The Uchiha were prepared to deal with Water Style, but they were not prepared to deal with Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu.

When the thick fog mixed with chakra obscured the vision of the Sharingan, the young Uchiha panicked and made fatal mistakes in their panic.

Shisui Uchiha's two teammates, the brothers Uchiha Hiroyuki and Uchiha Hiroji, were killed by Mist Ninja in this first battle.

Especially the younger brother Hiroji; he did not die on the spot, but after being cut in half at the waist by a Mist Ninja's great sword, there was no hope of survival.

Struggling in pain amidst the despair of certain death, he begged Shisui Uchiha to end his suffering.

What happened at that time, Shisui Uchiha did not tell anyone; he even sealed off part of his own memory because of it.

Subsequently, he temporarily withdrew from front-line combat as a wounded soldier who had lost his squad.

When Orochimaru's transfer order arrived, Shisui Uchiha thought of Yamanaka Chujiu being on the northern front and volunteered to join, thus arriving at the northern front.

But he also did not expect that he would be able to see Yamanaka Chujiu so quickly.

Yamanaka Chujiu was very surprised by the changes in Shisui Uchiha; in less than ten days, this kid's emotional characteristics had completely changed.

It was like a steel cable stretched to the limit, ready to snap at any moment.

Yamanaka Chujiu did not ask Shisui what had happened, but instead said to him gently: "From now on, you are under my command."

Shisui Uchiha nodded heavily: "Senior Chujiu, please feel free to command me!"
