Chapter 019 | Final Mobilization Before the War.

For several days in a row, Kakashi didn't discuss any topics related to jutsu development with Manoshi.

Until this day.

This was a rare day they could take a break. Although he couldn't relax for long, Manoshi wanted to take a nap for the first time in a long time.

"Manoshi, I succeeded!"

Manoshi, expecting to be "awakened" by the sunlight, was dazed, sniffing hard at the intruder with his stuffy nose.

'Who's disturbing my sleep!'

He tried to perceive the figure who was getting closer and closer. But suddenly, his body was cold; the quilt that covered him was lifted.

The sudden stimulus woke Manoshi up instantly, and the analytical center of his brain revived. He pressed Kakashi's hand, which had woken him up, and shouted sharply.

"Hurry up and pull up the quilt!"

"We are all boys here; what are you afraid of? Listen, I've successfully produced the functional jutsu you said before, hurry up and try it outside with me. "

Manoshi weakly held out his hand and pointed to the door.

"Seen by Rin ..."

Rin Nohara, who was going to comb her hair with a wooden comb, smiled shyly, "I didn't expect you guys to be so close, I'll go first, hehe... "

She didn't care about her uncombed hair. She turned her head and left. After all, the field hospital still needed her (sure).

At this time, Manoshi, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, slowly crawled out from under the covers.

It's really not that he was used to sleeping naked. Unfortunately, he only had two sets of clothes, and he didn't change them in time to wash, which led to the embarrassing situation of not having clothes to wear.

Well, who told Kaoru-san to wash Manoshi's clothes immediately every time?

"Achoo...!"

Kaoru Uchiha, who was far away in Konoha village, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and thought, 'I wonder if Manoshi-kun is doing well at the front lines and missing me.'

Putting on his clothes, Manoshi, who was still sleepy, walked out of the room together with Kakashi.

They happened to meet the already dressed Obito.

"Obito, do you want to experiment the new jutsu with us too?"

"Eh, you guys have been developing a new jutsu? No wonder Kakashi looks so tired every day. "

Obito suddenly understood and continued:

"But I'm going to the hospital to help Rin. I don't have time to accompany you. "

　　...

"Ah~ forget it, let's go quickly and find a place to see your newly developed jutsu. "

Manoshi yawned.

Although he really couldn't understand why some people were full of thoughts of falling in love when a war was approaching.

However, after all, Obito was an idiot.

Obito was going to the hospital to help Rin. So naturally, Manoshi and Kakashi were the only ones who went to experiment with the new jutsu.

When they came to the gate, the person on duty today was an old acquaintance, Hideyoshi Hyuga. So they directly greeted him, and the two left Kikyo City without any problems.

They ran all the way and ended up 4 or 5 kilometers away from Kikyo City, only to find a desolate space of about 200 square meters.

When everything was ready, Kakashi formed three seals; the chakra was transported into both hands and then hit the ground with force.

"Earth Release - Earth Movement!"

The solid ground in front of him suddenly trembled. Soon, bits and pieces of moist soil were arching out of the ground along small crevices, forming a loose hill on the ground.

"This is what I simplified from Earth Release jutsu, which can turn the soil within 20 cm of this area in front of me. "

Kakashi said confidently, "And even children can practice as long as they have the earth attribute chakra, and the consumption of releasing once is even less than that of a shadow clone. "

After all, simply controlling the soil was actually a natural function of the earth attribute chakra. Thus, the so-called development was only to reduce the consumption, control, and develop the corresponding sealing techniques.

"For ordinary people with earth attributes, turning dozens of square meters at a time with a little training won't be a problem."

"Kakashi, you really are a genius. "

In this world where many families didn't have a cow, such a jutsu was already a very good achievement.

Of course, the most important thing was that Manoshi wasn't familiar with the industrial touch in his previous life, nor was he a scientific researcher. Don't even think of asking him to combine jutsu and develop mechanization.

Kakashi was now induced to study "civilian jutsu," which may lay the foundation for the future liberation of people's way of thinking.

After Kakashi's explanation, Manoshi mastered this new jutsu named Earth Release - Earth Movement by Kakashi in theory. Still, he didn't grasp the natural changes of earth properties and couldn't try the results himself.

"Manoshi, Kakashi, I finally found you. You guys found quite a faraway place to experiment on jutsu. "

Chūnin, Hideyoshi Hyuga, easily found the two and hastily turned off his Byakugan.

After receiving the order, he didn't find Manoshi's figure around Kikyo City and ended up looking in the opposite direction, consuming a bit too much chakra.

"Orochimaru-sama urgently summoned Manoshi Uchiha to a battle meeting!"

"I've troubled you. " Manoshi apologized, and together with Kakashi and Hideyoshi Hyuga went to Kikyo City.

On the other hand, in the darkness of the Root headquarters, Danzō was going through the information sent back from various places.

"Manoshi Uchiha arrived in Kikyo safely, and Tatsuma failed. "

In fact, as soon as Yamanaka returned to resume orders, the shinobi who went to scout the battlefield returned, Danzō already had a certain amount of mental preparation.

"This child is dangerous and must not be left alive!"

"Pass the order to the Wandering Miko to wait for an opportunity to kill Manoshi Uchiha at the front line!"

"Yes!"

　　...

Manoshi, however, didn't know that he had become a big problem for Danzō.

Of course, he wasn't in the mood to care about that.

Because Minato Namikaze, the rightful leader of the trio, had finally arrived.

By the time Manoshi entered the conference room, all the shinobis who were qualified to participate in the battle meeting had arrived.

Orochimaru, who presided over the meeting, sat at the head seat, and to his right was Shikaku Nara, the deputy commander. The plump Jōnin of the Akimichi clan sat next to his good buddy Shikaku Nara.

Manoshi silently walked to the empty seat beside Minato Namikaze and sat down.

"Because of Minato's arrival, we already have an edge on Suna in power over the battlefield, and it's time for a showdown with Suna."

Orochimaru opened the meeting and signaled Shikaku Nara, who was the brains, to explain the battle plan.

Shikaku Nara picked up the documents on the desk, "This plan is actually very simple. The troops will be divided into two parts. "

Shikaku stood up and sketched an image of Kikyo City on the blackboard behind him.

"A large force will stand guard at Kikyo City to confront the Suna army. "

He drew a mountain on the edge of Kikyo City, drew two circles representing the mountain pattern with emphasis, and then said,

"And there's ambush units responsible for a surprise attack on Mount Kikyo and cutting in behind the enemy to divide the battlefield while the frontal troops are engaged in battle. "

"Do you have any questions and opinions here?"

Manoshi had no doubts, but he felt this tactic was a little familiar. The troops were divided into two teams, one to defend the city and the other to defend the mountain ... It's him, Ma Su from the Three Kingdoms!

Of course, shinobi wars and ancient Chinese wars couldn't be compared.

Thanks to the long-term cooperation, all of the Jōnins here trusted Shikaku Nara.

Seeing no objections, Shikaku Nara announced the list of personnel assignments that had been agreed upon with Orochimaru in advance.

　　...

"Manoshi Uchiha is in command of the ambush units. "
