Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

The answer is self-evident: even if you suffer only minor injuries, you may lose your life if you do not receive timely and effective treatment.

In this way, the enemy only needs to advance steadily and engage in a protracted war of attrition with us. No matter how powerful our army is and how sophisticated its tactics are, it will eventually fall into despair and suffer a crushing defeat!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. He looked at Uchiha Owl with a gleam in his eyes. "Owl-sama, are you saying that Tsunade's suggestion can resolve the risks brought about by these two situations?"

Uchiha Xiao smiled and nodded. "That's right. Medical ninjas have no combat capabilities, so they need the protection of combat ninjas. Sending them to the team is the best way."

"They have the protection of their teammates, and when their teammates are injured, they can receive timely treatment. This forms a cycle, and the team's fighting time can be extended!"

"In addition, if the medical ninjas are dispersed into various teams, then there is no need to worry about the attack on the camp." After Uchiha Owl finished speaking, he glanced at Tsunade, blinked at her and smiled slightly.

Tsunade's mouth curled up, feeling happy in her heart. Owl Lord spoke up for me in front of so many people, but Owl Lord's brain is really useful!

Every ninja could understand what Uchiha Owl said, and he was right on the point. Sarutobi Hiruzen now began to think carefully about the reasons given by Uchiha Owl.

The white-haired man in the corner was stunned. Looking at Uchiha Xiao and Tsunade smiling at each other, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had stood up faster, it would have been better.

This man is the genius ninja Kato Dan who has mastered the art of spiritualization!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Owl, only to find that he and Tsunade were smiling at each other, with a strange look on their faces. "Owl, are you sure you're only saying this because it's a feasible suggestion?"

Are these two kids in love? Tsk tsk, Senju and Uchiha? Would Mito-sama agree? Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

Uchiha Xiao was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, I'm sure!" In the original work, the suggestion proposed by Tsunade is still being used in Boruto, so it is completely feasible.

"Chiyo of the Sand Village is best at surprise attacks. Maybe she will sneak attack the medical position behind us." Uchiha Xiao said casually.

In fact, Chiyo really did this kind of thing, it seemed to be during World War II. Because of this incident, after the end of World War II, the village passed Tsunade's opinion and the system that every team must be equipped with a medical ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, although the two situations mentioned by Owl have never happened before, we must be prepared."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, regarding the establishment of medical ninjas, I want to see the complete system regulations tomorrow."

Tsunade chuckled, "Yes, Teacher!" She was filled with strength. She had to sort it out tonight! She could ask Owl Lord then.

Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly. It seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen had thought it through and was ready to implement this system!

Chapter 37 Konoha's Commander-in-Chief - Shimura Danzo

"Well, let's discuss how to resist the attack of the Sand Village." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, then looked at his old friend Danzo.

After Shimura Danzo received the look from his best friend, he slowly walked to the front of the group and said, "Huruzen, I am willing to lead the troops to defeat the invading enemies from Sunagakure."

Is there anyone present who does not respectfully address Sarutobi Hiruzen as "Hokage-sama?" The only one is Danzo, the Hokage's teammate and closest friend.

At this time, Danzo Shimura was in his prime, with a strong face and bangs evenly distributed on both sides of his forehead. His handsome face was almost perfect. Although there was a knife wound on his chin, it did not affect his appearance but added a cool temperament.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. Among all the Hokage assistants, the one he liked most was his good brother Danzo Shimura, who was loyal to Konoha and could fight.

The only bad thing is that he inherited his teacher's prejudice against Uchiha, and he often said things like "Uchiha brat is born evil" in private.

Now that Uchiha has chosen a side, he is one of us. I have to find a way to change my old friend's mind. However, for now, I should first solve the issue of the commander-in-chief. After all, the Sand Village has already sent troops, and war is imminent.

But he couldn't directly ask Danzo to accept his fate, so Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was winking at Uchiha Hirotomo and Uchiha Owl.

I just gave you face, now you have to give me some, right?

Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Hokage-sama, the commander-in-chief of this war is none other than Danzo-sama. You need to stay in the rear and take charge of the overall situation."

"Lord Danzo was once your teammate and he was also the direct disciple of the Second Hokage. No one is more suitable than him to be the commander-in-chief of this fight against Sand Village!" Although Uchiha Owl was a little resistant to Danzo, he couldn't pretend not to see the instructions given by the Hokage.

Uchiha Guangzhi also nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with Xiao's opinion."

Following closely behind were the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans, and then the ninja clan that had been close to the Uchiha clan and the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans since the Warring States period spoke up.

There are the Kurama clan, the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Yuhi clan, the Gekko clan...

The remaining Hyuga clan and their close ninja clans saw that more than half of the ninja clans present agreed, so they naturally would not continue to remain silent.

In this way, most of the well-known ninjas present supported Danzo's decision to lead the troops.

Danzo Shimura looked deeply at Uchiha Owl, but then turned his head and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Danzo, since everyone recommends you to be the commander-in-chief, I will choose you. However, are you sure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked this as a routine question. If he answered directly, it would seem a bit too hasty, so he wanted Danzo to express his opinion to everyone himself.

"I will lead the Konoha army to strike a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Sand Village!" Shimura Danzo raised the corners of his mouth, with the momentum of his youthful youth.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, but it was only for a moment before his face became serious.

Then he slammed the table and stood up, "I declare that the commander-in-chief of Konoha in this battle against the Sand Village is Danzo. Please cooperate with Danzo's orders and fight this battle well. Then I will celebrate your victory!"

"If anyone disobeys orders and acts recklessly, he will be punished by military law and will be executed without mercy!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was loud and firm, causing the ninjas present to tremble all over.

Uchiha Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen like this. In the anime, the old Sarutobi Hiruzen made many stupid moves. I was submissive to the outside world, but I punched hard inside.

But at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a true ninja hero. He fights when he says he will fight. If you dare to come, then we will fight! If I don't hurt you, you won't know how to stop.

What exactly caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to change so much? Uchiha Owl pondered, and finally a flash of inspiration came to him: it was power and age.

Once people enjoy the beauty of power, they don't want to step down and are corrupted by it. In addition, as they get older, they become more afraid of death and lose the drive they had when they were young.

How is this different from Dong Zhuo of Xiliang? In his youth, he traveled across Xiliang, befriended many heroes, and finally went to Beijing to quell the rebellion and enjoyed the benefits of power. Adding to his age, didn't he also make stupid decisions and lack the drive?

Uchiha Owl shook his head and stopped thinking about it. The most important thing right now was the battle with the Sand Village.

If he remembered correctly, a lot of things were going to happen in this war: Naoki accidentally stepped into a detonating tag, Kato was stabbed to death in the camp, White Fang flashed, Chiyo cried, and Chiyo attacked the medical camp at night...

He was a little dazed at the moment. Just after Sarutobi Hiruzen finished saying a lot of polite words, he announced the adjournment of the meeting. Uchiha Owl stood up and was about to leave, but Tsunade grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Owl, why are you leaving now? The teacher just told you, me, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Lord Danzo to stay and discuss something in detail." Tsunade was a little confused, but seeing Uchiha Owl's look, she knew he was distracted.

Uchiha Xiao came back to his senses and said, "Oh...oh. He was indeed thinking about a lot of things just now, so much so that he was distracted the whole time."

Tsunade sighed when she saw this. Uchiha Hirochi chuckled and walked over, bowing to Tsunade. "Lady Tsunade, I'll leave Owl to you. I'll go back first."

"It's my duty, Uncle Hirochi, don't worry!" Tsunade was originally not fond of the Uchiha clan, but now Uchiha Owl is the elder of the Uchiha clan.

In the spirit of loving the house and loving the dog, just call Uchiha Hirotoshi uncle, you won’t lose anything.

Uchiha Guangzhi chuckled and gave Uchiha Xiao a look that probably meant "I'll be waiting for you in the clan. Come on!"

Uchiha Owl smiled helplessly, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya were about the same age as Uchiha Owl, and were also walking towards Tsunade and Uchiha Owl. After all, they were in the same grade and had a lot to talk about.

Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment, while Orochimaru remained calm until most people in the meeting room had left and the Anbu closed the door again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his arm around Danzo's shoulders and looked at the four people with a smile, "Old brother, these four are the deputies I left for you."

Shimura Danzo frowned. "Why, Sarutobi, you don't trust me? You still want these young brats to supervise me?"

The three little ones, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya all looked a little unhappy, only Uchiha Owl remained calm and smiled faintly.

"How could that be! Old brother, just tell me how I treated you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Shimura Danzo's shoulder with some amusement.

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly. He was also a tsundere. He knew exactly how Sarutobi Hiruzen treated him. He was just a little unhappy why they sent a few greenhorns to him.

Chapter 38: The wisdom of the owl, unparalleled in the ages

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore a genial smile on his face and said cheerfully, "I'm sure you know how exciting the war in the Land of Rain was!"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course I know that. I have to say, your apprentice, Tsunade, truly has the demeanor of a great general! She knows how to assess the situation and weigh the pros and cons. Such a person is completely qualified to serve as deputy!"

Having said that, he made this comment without any scruples in front of everyone else present.

Then, Shimura Danzo continued to express his opinion: "I heard that Jiraiya and Orochimaru's performance in this protracted battle was also remarkable. I also have no objection to the two of them. However..."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an extremely aggressive gaze, and asked, "As for that brat from the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen, what exactly do you mean?"

At this time, Danzo Shimura did not yet have the Root organization as his source of intelligence, so the information he had was far less comprehensive than that of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because of this, he still firmly believes that this victory was achieved because Sarutobi Hiruzen's three beloved disciples personally led the army.

Faced with such aggressive questioning from Danzo Shimura, the three little ones standing aside were immediately furious.

Especially Tsunade, who was straightforward and hot-tempered, could not suppress her anger. Just as she was about to open her mouth to retort, she was suddenly met with a stern look from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After seeing this, even though Tsunade was unwilling, she finally forced herself to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

At this moment, Uchiha Owl was gently stroking Tsunade's long hair that was as soft as a waterfall. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was comforting a frightened kitten.

His fingers gently slid through Tsunade's hair, with a reassuring strength, signaling her not to be too impatient and to remain calm.

As for Uchiha Xiao himself, he remained calm and watched everything happening in front of him calmly, as if the noise and tension around him had nothing to do with him.

He looked calm and composed, like a bystander who was quietly observing the development of the situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting nearby, took in the entire scene. He nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. His admiration for Uchiha Owl increased even more.

This young man can remain so calm and organized in the face of such a complicated situation. He is truly a rare talent!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a smile on his face, reached out and pulled Danzo next to him, asking him to sit down with him. Then, he waved to Uchiha Xiao and said warmly, "Uchiha Xiao, come over here quickly."

After hearing the call from the Hokage, Uchiha Owl nodded without hesitation and walked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen with steady steps.

As they approached, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile grew even wider. He turned to look at Danzo beside him and said with a smile, "Danzo, did you know that in the war in the Land of Rain, the strategy of protracted warfare, cutting off the enemy's food supply, and the sneak attack on Yu Ji were all the work of Uchiha Owl?"

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo, who had been somewhat nonchalant, was suddenly startled and sat up straight. He stared at Uchiha Xiao with wide eyes in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and shock.

However, since these words came from Sarutobi's mouth, they could not be false. Thinking of this, Danzo once again looked at the young man in front of him who seemed ordinary but had hidden talents.

What puzzled him was that since all these were done by Uchiha Owl, why didn't he admit it, but instead put the credit on Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru?

Could it be that he has some plans? Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo's eyes turned cold again, and he glanced at Uchiha Xiao. Uchiha Xiao noticed this, smiled slightly, and nodded in response, which made Shimura Danzo a little annoyed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also became interested. "Xiao Xiao, tell me, why are you unwilling to accept the credit?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo also looked at Uchiha Owl. His eyes were like a ruler. He could tell at a glance that others were not lying!

So, you born evil Uchiha brat, if you dare to lie, I will grind you to dust!

His eyes turned cold and the corners of his mouth turned up, as if the person in front of him was not one of his own, but a criminal.

"Danzo! Take your eyes off me!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless as to why his old buddy couldn't control his little thoughts when he saw the Uchiha clan. What did the Uchiha do to you?

Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly. It was indeed that Danzo. He sighed and said, "First of all, Tsunade-sama saved me when I just opened my eyes during Hokage-sama's pre-war speech."

"Later, Mito-sama took great care of me. I was having some issues with the Uchiha clan at the time, and I didn't want to be in the spotlight, so I gave most of the credit to Tsunade-sama. She needed it more than me."

"Lord Orochimaru and Lord Jiraiya relied on their ability to lead troops to implement the fighting style I proposed, so this is their credit. I just made some suggestions." Uchiha Xiao said lightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Good boy, you are the pillar of Konoha. The most important thing is to know when to advance and retreat, not for fame, but for contribution."

Danzo Shimura was shocked. He found that what Uchiha Owl said seemed to be the truth. His expression and tone were very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
