Kapitel 208: War in the Land of Lightning
Shintaro and Kakashi completed their mission to suppress the rebellion, witnessed the treasure of the Kazahana family, and returned to the Land of Fire after receiving warm hospitality from the famous figure of the Land of Snow.
Both of them returned to the Hokage Building.
"So soon? You've returned in just one day?" Hiruzen lifted his eyes to see them both and put down what he was doing.
Although he was aware of Shintaro's strength and speed, he was still surprised to see them return in such a short time.
The initial mission to rescue Kazahana Koyuki had reached an A-level rating, and with the counter-rebellion mission, the mission level had escalated to S-level.
Even with two Jonin involved, the mission wouldn't typically be completed so quickly.
However, considering that Shintaro's strength couldn't be measured by the rank of Jonin, Hiruzen did not dwell on it further.
"How was the mission?" Hiruzen asked.
Both of them reported the mission truthfully, and Hiruzen remarked emotionally, "Daimyo Sosetsu is indeed a good father and a good Daimyo who cares for the Land of Snow."
"As for Kazahana Doto, he was so ambitious that he even tried to overthrow his brother's rule. He's hardly a human at all."
Hiruzen's words seemed to carry deeper meaning, at least that's how Shintaro felt.
"You have completed this mission well, and the reward will be sent to you shortly."
"You may leave..."
Shintaro and Kakashi heard this and were about to leave.
Hiruzen raised his hand again, "Wait, Shintaro, stay here."
So Kakashi left alone, and Shintaro remained in the Hokage office to receive orders.
"Shintaro, you successfully suppressed the rebellion this time. This mission serves as a statement to the smaller nations in the ninja world. As the number one ninja village, Konoha will never tolerate any form of rebellion."
"If you wish to rebel, you must consider the consequences of doing so."
"Am I correct?"
"Hokage-sama is right." Shintaro nodded in agreement.
Hiruzen believed that Shintaro was a smart person, so he only hinted at it and didn't stress it further.
"The opinions of the higher-ups regarding the situation in the Land of Lightning have been made known. As the deputy leader of Konoha's Jonin squad and a member of the Uchiha clan, you are qualified to be informed about this matter in advance." Hiruzen said. "Konoha has allowed the Uchiha Clan to go to the border to participate in the war."
"However, the members of the Konoha Guard Force must remain in the village, so if you wish to go to the border to participate in the war, you must first resign from the Konoha Guard Force."
"To ensure Konoha's security, I will arrange for other ninjas to join the Konoha Guard Force to fill the vacancies."
"The official order will be issued soon. You may inform the members of the Uchiha Clan in advance so you can prepare early."
Shintaro nodded in agreement and left the Hokage office.
Hiruzen sighed, took a puff from his pipe in the office, and said, "I hope you don't betray my trust."
Allowing the Uchiha Clan to go to the border was undoubtedly a relief for the higher-ups in Konoha.
The Uchiha Clan are natural-born warriors.
After experiencing life and death situations, members of the Uchiha Clan often awaken the potential of their bloodline power, the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan.
The battlefield is undoubtedly the easiest place to experience life and death.
Initially, the Uchiha Clan had experienced the Third Ninja World War, and their strength had increased compared to before the war, with many strong members emerging.
Not to mention Fugaku's well-hidden Mangekyo and the White-Haired Demon Eyes of Uchiha Shintaro, who had already gained fame in the ninja world.
The backbone of the Uchiha Clan also increased significantly. After the ninja war, many Uchiha Clan ninjas awakened the double magatama and even the three magatama Sharingan, like Tetsuo and Hamasu.
If they experience another war, the strength of the Uchiha Clan might develop even more significantly. Therefore, the so-called high-level opinion was actually not to allow the Uchiha Clan to go to the battlefield at all.
Allowing the Uchiha Clan to go to the battlefield in the Land of Lightning was actually Hiruzen's arbitrary decision.
He realized that suppressing them would be worse than releasing them. Konoha had lost the Fourth Hokage and the adult Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, and could no longer suppress the Uchiha Clan.
Instead of letting the Uchiha Clan remain suppressed in the village without knowing when something might happen, it was better to let them go to the battlefield and contribute to Konoha.
At least Hiruzen believed that both Shintaro and Fugaku were not foolish.

Shintaro arrived at the Uchiha Clan's station, the patriarch's house.
Itachi was still at school, Mikoto was holding Sasuke, and Fugaku was the only one at home in the large house.
"My eyes tell me that you've come to tell me about the matter."
"What matter?" Shintaro asked knowingly.
Fugaku knew very well, "The Land of Lightning."
"That's correct." Shintaro nodded and confirmed.
Fugaku rubbed his eyes with his hand, "For the future of the Uchiha Clan, I've used Daikokuten multiple times to foresee the current situation. But the Mangekyo Sharingan's eye techniques not only excessively consume eye power and chakra, but also damage vision."
"Shintaro, you're still young, so you should use it sparingly."
"Honestly, I haven't experienced such symptoms. Perhaps the Six Eyes compensate for this." Shintaro didn't care, and at the same time, he stepped forward to cover Fugaku's eyes with his hand.
After being enveloped by the white fluorescence of the [Reversal Cursed Technique], Fugaku opened his eyes and said, "It does feel much better. This might be the method you used to save Shinku from the Kyuubi."
"I didn't expect that we, the old ones, have reached the point where we need you to take care of me and wait for me."
"This is what I should do. After all, you are two of my father's best friends and the two most important elders." Shintaro said without hesitation.
"The Hokage has allowed the Uchiha Clan to participate in the war with the Land of Lightning, but to do so, we must withdraw from the Konoha Guard Force."
Fugaku nodded upon hearing this, "After all, the Third Hokage is different from Danzo and the others. He's still willing to show goodwill to the Uchiha Clan. Although the Konoha Guard Force is prestigious, it's actually a hot potato. This time, relinquishing some of the real power of the Konoha Guard Force is a good thing for the Uchiha Clan."
"In this case, I will not participate in this war. After all, the Konoha Guard Force will remain under the Uchiha Clan's name. Shintaro, I entrust the members of the Uchiha Clan participating in the war to you."
Fugaku looked at him seriously and entrusted the task to him.
Shintaro's blue eyes shone, and he nodded solemnly, "Understood."
❀❀❀
Within a few days, Konoha's officials issued an official notice.
Due to the frequent harassment by Kumogakure ninjas from the Land of Lightning on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire, Konoha decided to send five hundred ninjas to guard the border.
Among them, the Uchiha Clan would send one hundred ninjas as the backbone. The entire force would be led by Uchiha Shintaro, the deputy leader of Konoha's Jonin squad, the strongest member of the Uchiha Clan, and the White-Haired Demon Eyes.
They assembled on the second day after the order was issued and officially set out on the expedition.
