In less than three days, Mitokado Homura led a group of Ninja Corps to the frontline camp.
After arriving at the frontline camp, Mitokado Homura found out that Tsunade had also arrived at the frontline and had used the Katsura Jutsu to heal most of the injured.
Mitokado Homura let out a sigh of relief and then said to Tsunade, "Since you're here, why not stay for now? The village needs your strength; however, since Tsunade is here, I'll have the medical team I brought go to the Land of Grass camp."
One Tsunade could equal three medical teams, so there really wasn't much need for the medical team he brought.
"Tsunade, now is not the time for fooling around!"
When Mitokado Homura saw Tsunade turn her head away without responding, he opened his mouth again and gave a stern shout.
Upon hearing this command, Tsunade's delicate eyebrows arched slightly with displeasure, but just as she was about to retort with a cold snort, Uchiha Yoichi spoke first, saying
"Rest assured, Elder Mitokado, no one doubts Lady Tsunade's resolve to protect the village. She rushed here from the Land of Tea as soon as she heard about the war; her actions have proven everything."
Uchiha Yoichi's words not only countered Mitokado Homura but also pleased Tsunade. Someone understood her after all; if she was acting capriciously, she would have hidden away long ago and not have come to the battlefield with her hemophobia to heal.
Then Tsunade snorted coldly at Mitokado Homura and said no more.
At this time, Hatake Sakumo spoke, saying, "Elder Mitokado, what does the village plan to do?"
Although they brought in reinforcements, they were still at a disadvantage against the Hidden Cloud Ninja's forces; however, with Uchiha Yoichi present, it's possible to counterattack!
"The village has no specific plans; you still command the front lines, Lord Sakumo."
Upon seeing Hatake Sakumo's expression, Mitokado Homura asked, "How is your injury?"
Hatake Sakumo replied, "Much better, thanks to Jonin Tsunade. Maybe in five or six days, I'll recover fully."
This is the power of a top-tier medical ninja. Normally, a penetrating shoulder injury like Hatake Sakumo's, which even damaged bone, would take at least two months to heal; however, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu shortened this time by tenfold, allowing Hatake Sakumo to recover in five or six days.
"Orochimaru, Mr. Yoichi, what are your thoughts?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I have no ideas for now; let's see what Mr. Yoichi plans first." Since he had abandoned the idea of becoming Hokage, Orochimaru didn't even want to stand out.
He could fill in the gaps but wouldn't voluntarily take the forefront.
"The camp we left there probably can't accommodate both the Hidden Cloud Ninja, and although the Hidden Rock Ninja and the Hidden Cloud Ninja have allied, it has only been two months."
As he stroked his chin, Uchiha Yoichi thought out loud, "The Hidden Rock Ninja surely won't stay mixed with the Hidden Cloud Ninja. I'll find a chance to sneak in and only kill the Hidden Rock Ninja. Perhaps that will be enough to rupture their alliance."
"No, that's too dangerous!"
Tsunade immediately objected, saying, "There's no just walking directly into the enemy camp. Even if you succeed, getting out will be incredibly difficult—it's a suicide mission."
Orochimaru chuckled as he glanced at Tsunade and then said, "If it's Mr. Yoichi, then there might indeed be a possibility, but he needs to recover first and also confirm the position of the Hidden Rock Ninja... I can have the Hyuga Clan and the Yamanaka Clan ninjas approach."
Seeing that Orochimaru agreed too, Tsunade's eyes turned to him sharply as she said, "Orochimaru!"
"Tsunade, don't rush. I said this because I've seen Mr. Yoichi's strength; he can accomplish this... If Mr. Yoichi successfully ambushes, it might even scatter the Hidden Cloud Ninja, but to provoke the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud tensions, it's best not to kill the Hidden Cloud Ninja."
Orochimaru said with a smile.
If Uchiha Yoichi turned into Godzilla and went on a rampage, that might work too, but that could push the Hidden Cloud Ninja and Hidden Rock Ninja closer together, possibly leading to a reinforced alliance between them against Konoha for the next decade.
If he doesn't have the power to overthrow both Great Ninja Villages at once, it's better not to try; it's best to focus on dismantling the two Ninja Villages first.
Seeing Tsunade looking at him, Uchiha Yoichi nodded and said, "I have a trump card and can protect myself; the hard part is locating the Hidden Rock Ninja specifically."
Tsunade's favorability towards him had stabilized above 85 already. Although she always called him "dead kid" with her mouth, if something happened to Uchiha Yoichi, Tsunade would undoubtedly be affected deeply, and her hemophobia would haunt her for life, only worsening over time.
To surpass 90, he needs to fulfill his promise to Tsunade, and then it won't be an issue!
"I can use a Summoned Snake to get the Hyuga and Yamanaka Clan ninjas in, Mr. Yoichi, if you are willing..."
"Count me out; let them verify things first, then summon me to the vicinity of the camp."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said. He could guess what method Orochimaru intended to use, which was simply having a snake swallow them, crawl underneath the ground, and spit them out again.
Hidden Cloud Ninja lacks the Byakugan or similar powerful reconnaissance bloodline, so it's unlikely they would detect such a method of infiltration.
"Hmm, I might have other stealth methods, which might prove more advantageous later... but first, I have to ask around."
Uchiha Yoichi said, and upon hearing Orochimaru mention the use of a Summoned Snake, he suddenly thought of the Three Great Snake Princesses' stealth methods in Ryuchi Cave, especially Ichikishimahime, whose invisibility could even hide her presence.
If not for the Sharingan being able to see Chakra, no creature carrying Chakra would escape a Pupil Technique bloodline; otherwise, he would also have difficulty detecting Ichikishimahime.
