Chapter 45: We, the Uchiha Clan, Are Too...

"Indeed, it's all calculated by me."

On the frontlines, Toki continued to charm the future top Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha.

He held a triumphant expression on his face as he looked at the amazing photo he took of himself.

From the beginning, he never intended to let the Uchiha clan face Kumogakure alone.

Even if he increased the Uchiha clan's strength several times over, directly confronting the entire Cloud Village was just absurd.

His strategy, established from the beginning, followed the sixteen-character policy created by great figures of the past:

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we strike; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

They were an elite force, and each squad's compulsory training included Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.

So, they held an absolute advantage in speed.

As long as they avoided direct confrontation, used their victories for propaganda, how could the low-ranking genin of Konoha, who were doing menial labor, resist the chance to gain military merits?

With their numbers bolstered, there was no way Toki, a Kage-level powerhouse leading the elite Uchiha, could not defeat Kumogakure.

When Konoha was founded, it was mainly the Senju clan who fought against four others. Toki's Uchiha clan was on par with the Senju clan. Even though they had declined, with the formidable power of the special Jounin Toki had preserved over the years, they were more than capable of dealing with Kumogakure alone.

Originally, Kumogakure didn't throw all their forces at Konoha to fight to the death. They were just taking advantage of Konoha's weakened state after the Nine-Tails attack to gain some benefits. Only about one-third of the village's ninja were deployed.

Now, with a squad of elites unexpectedly annihilated by Shisui and the Hunter Squad, Raikage would definitely be upset for a while.

Now, Toki was provoking and harassing them again. At this moment, most of the Cloud Village's forces were converging on Toki's troops.

So naturally, Toki wouldn't fight them head-on.

Currently, he was leisurely hiding in a hot spring inn in the Land of Hot Water with Shisui.

And the team members were also dispersed into squads, temporarily divided into various towns in the Land of Hot Water.

Toki's order was simple: shoot and move, never engage in direct combat with the enemy.

And this shameless tactic made the Cloud Village ninja extremely frustrated.

Because the Uchiha clan's squad formations were too complete,

Each harassment squad consisted of 1 Saber, 1 Archer, three Lancers, three Casters, one Assassin (Hunter Hassan), and one Messenger Rider.

Their routine was reconnaissance by archers, trap destruction by Hassan, release of composite ninjutsu comparable to A-rank by three Casters, and finally, Saber leading the retreat with the Lancers.

This shameless method directly made the leader of the team, Troy, extremely annoyed.

He couldn't understand why so many ninja on the enemy side were proficient in traps and barriers.

The traps and barriers his troops were responsible for monitoring were as useless as paper to them.

Helpless, he could only arrange for the teams to be on guard 24 hours a day.

But who can guard against thieves every day?

So, in less than a month, relying on this shameless tactic, the Uchiha clan directly wiped out more than 500 of the Cloud Village's troops.

There was even a Jounin who was taken down by Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Yashiro riding a fire-breathing dragon.

This made the Cloud Village ninjas red-eyed like rabbits, unable to rest day and night.

In contrast, on the Uchiha clan's side, after every battle, the squad members would soak in hot springs, drink flower wine, and if you didn't know better, you'd think they were on a business trip, not fighting a war.

And Toki ordered the squad to send back their achievements and photos of drinking and flirting to Konoha every day for Shikaku to use for propaganda.

So, the enthusiasm of the Konoha ninjas to join the Department of Defense was unprecedentedly high.

The stack of enlistment forms in the village chief's office had exceeded 5,000, and many of them were Chunin and even Jonin. Everyone was eagerly awaiting Toki's orders.

Not only civilian ninjas, but even the elders of the major ninja clans couldn't help but be tempted by this joyful and rewarding tactic.

Toki handed Shikaku the intelligence he brought and let him take a look.

When Shikaku saw his comrades, who had resisted war and longed for peace, behave so recklessly, he was completely dumbfounded.

"How is this possible!"

Toki slowly stood up from the hot spring, smiling.

"No one wants to fight alongside a team that always loses."

"Similarly, when the profits reach 10%, some people start to get restless; when the profits reach 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profits reach 100%, they dare to trample on all laws; and when the profits reach 300%, they even fear nothing, not even the gallows."

"Do you see the current Department of Defense? Less than 10% casualties. Do you know what that means?"

"We paid the price of less than 30 people and wiped out nearly 600 of their troops."

"And the reward for wiping out these 600 people will be divided among just 200 of us. When it comes to distributing

 money after the war, every ninja who participated in this defense will receive a reward equivalent to at least an A-rank mission."

"Do you think they won't be tempted?"

Shisui looked at Toki with a conflicted expression.

"But we rely on strong strength and flexible maneuvers. If it were the village ninjas, they wouldn't be able to do this."

Not everyone is from the Uchiha clan, and not everyone has Toki's help.

Once the main force arrives, the Uchiha clan's maneuverability will disappear, and it will come down to real hard power.

And Toki's mouth curved into a smile, then his expression turned serious.

"It depends on you. Look at our Uchiha clan. We must shoulder the burden and try to bring back as many heroes who voluntarily defend their homeland as possible."

"So, we need to be prepared for a long-term tug-of-war, try to let our people and the newcomers blend, integrate with each other, preferably as close as brothers."

"When the time comes, we'll be in the right place, and the unusual will win! Let's fight proudly and establish the reputation of our Uchiha clan!"

Shisui listened to Toki's lofty words with excitement.

The clan head is not just concerned with the narrow interests of the clan; he really wants to make our Konoha strong!

Shisui patted his chest loudly and said, "Don't worry, Clan Head! I will lead my brothers to win this battle!"

Toki patted Shisui's shoulder approvingly.

"Go for it!"

Then he put on his yukata and left the hot spring, muttering to himself:

"What kind of crappy mixed bathing is this? How come there aren't even any girls?"

"This silly kid is really easy to fool. If he doesn't treat the new cannon fodder as brothers, how can he open their eyes?"

"Sigh, our Uchiha clan is just too kind, unable to bear the deaths of our brothers."
