Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

The Fourth Raikage looked at everyone and continued speaking, "This time, we not only need to take down these two clans, but we also have to kill that Uchiha clansman named Uchiha Ryosuke."

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the AB Combo, Killer Bee, volunteered and said, "A, leave this matter to me."

This guy, in the ninja world, he had never even heard of the other party's reputation or battle achievements. He was just an ordinary ninja, after all. Would he, the mighty Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, be afraid that he couldn't take him down?

However, the Fourth Raikage shook his head.

"No need. If you make a move, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Your main task this time is still to deal with the clan leader-level figures of the other side. If I have to face both major clan leaders alone, it will be a bit strenuous. I'll rely on you to handle the other one."

"I'm planning to assign this mission to Mabui, Darui, and C."

Darui and C were promising talents, the future pillars of the Cloud Village.

In terms of combat ability, they were not weaker than members of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, would three against one still fail? Impossible.

C assuredly said, "Leave it to us three, Raikage-sama, we guarantee to take him down."

Hearing his sworn brothers say this, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki no longer objected.

Indeed, it would be overkill; dealing with clan leader-level figures would better allow him to showcase his strength.

The Fourth Raikage was very satisfied with this response.

"In that case, then today, you all should pack up. Tomorrow, we set off."

The gathered ninjas all returned to prepare their weapons and gear. The only ones left in the conference room were the Fourth Raikage and Mabui.

The Fourth Raikage asked Mabui, "Have we found the culprit who previously attacked and killed Cloud Village members?"

Mabui shook her head and said, "The Anbu has no news yet, but we have already sent people to track bandits and rogue ninjas near the borders. I believe we will have results soon."

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage received a Root member and learned about Cloud Village's preparations to attack Konoha. A slight smile appeared on his face.

Then, he sent people to inform the Uchiha and Hyuga clans to prepare to deal with the Cloud Village enemies.

He even specifically instructed the Anbu member to ensure that Uchiha Ryosuke must participate in the battle.

———

Inside the Uchiha clan's reception hall.

Uchiha Fugaku was receiving Kakashi, who had been sent by the Hokage.

He had already learned that Cloud Village was preparing to attack Konoha. The Third Hokage wanted them to form a coalition with the Hyuga clan to resist the invasion.

At the same time, Fugaku cautiously detected something in the other party's words and asked in shock, "What do you mean? Are you saying that only our two clans will be sent to fight alone? The Hokage didn't notify any other clans to assist us?"

Kakashi could only answer truthfully.

"As far as I know, the Hokage didn't instruct me to notify other clans, so that should be the case."

Although he also disagreed with the Hokage's decision, that was still the Hokage's order.

After delivering the message, he immediately left.

After getting confirmation, Fugaku fell silent, his expression turning grim.

In a war against Cloud Village, only these two clans were being sent to fight.

Even if both major clans joined forces against Cloud Village, they were still no match for an entire ninja village.

A single ninja village had thousands, even tens of thousands, of ninjas.

Even the number of Jonin alone was likely in the hundreds, far beyond what these two clans could handle.

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans combined had fewer than 50 Jonin. Although the enemy wouldn't send all of theirs to the battlefield, even if half of their Jonin participated, it would already be terrifying.

He had to find Ryosuke.

That man was the one revitalizing the clan. Even in such dire straits, he should have a way to handle it.

As for why he didn't ask the Third Hokage for reinforcements—

If the Hokage directly retorted, "This is the mess the Uchiha caused; let them handle it themselves," then the Uchiha would truly be in trouble.

The actions of Konoha's upper echelons were clearly aimed at marginalizing the Uchiha.

They even seemed to be using the war between villages to weaken the Uchiha's strength.

The Uchiha had no allied factions in the village.

Now, he finally understood what Ryosuke meant by a "public opinion battle." If the Uchiha had a better reputation, they might actually have factions willing to help them.

At this moment, he had no way to deal with this matter. He couldn't just lead the Uchiha to the battlefield like this.

So, he sent someone to invite Ryosuke to the meeting room.

When Ryosuke received the clan leader's message, he immediately rushed to the meeting room and asked, "Clan Leader Fugaku, what's the matter?"

Fugaku told Ryosuke everything Kakashi had just relayed, including Cloud Village's attack, Konoha's decision to send only their two clans, and the Hokage's insistence that Ryosuke must fight.

Hearing this, Ryosuke was a bit dumbfounded.

It made sense that they were targeting him—after all, he had imprisoned the Hokage's son in Uchiha prison, so it was understandable that they were coming for him.

But making a strategic blunder like this during a village-wide war, putting the entire fate of the Fire Country and Konoha at risk?

Were they playing with Konoha's future?

If they suffered a disastrous defeat, Konoha would also pay a huge price.

He could only say—

Yes, this was exactly the Third Hokage he knew. Many of his decisions were completely incomprehensible.

Even if there was internal conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha's higher-ups, at such a critical moment, how could they make such a self-destructive decision?

He looked at Fugaku.

"Clan Leader, what do you think we should do?"

Fugaku was stunned—he didn't know what to do, which was why he had called Ryosuke for advice.

"I have no solution, so I called you here."

Ryosuke felt speechless—Fugaku was the clan leader. But since he was asked to decide—

"Then there's no need to overthink it. Just go to war directly."

In the original timeline, Uchiha Madara was able to fight against 100,000 ninja alliance troops.

He wasn't at that level yet, but in the future, he would be.

Right now, with the Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates Released, he was already stronger than peak Might Guy when he opened the Sixth Gate. Undoubtedly, he had reached a super-Kage level.

As far as he knew, none of the current Kages from the major villages were super-Kage level.

Even the so-called "strongest Hokage," the Third Hokage, was someone who couldn't even deal with Orochimaru. How could he be super-Kage level?

The true strongest Hokage was still Hashirama.

Even Orochimaru himself admitted that Hashirama could subdue him instantly.

As for the Fourth Raikage, he had lost his left hand just trying to deal with Sasuke.

That alone meant he wasn't super-Kage level. He was strong, but not at that level.

Mist Village's Fourth Mizukage was most likely already under Obito's control, so he wasn't super-Kage either.

But Ryosuke, without a doubt, had stepped into the super-Kage realm.

If he could eliminate Cloud Village's high-ranking forces, the war would end.

The Uchiha clan was destined to win.
