Various clan leaders and clan elders gather in the meeting room as the meeting starts. Heated discussions start to occur as various issues arose.
"I will deploy my Root Anbus on Iwa battlefront. But my Root anbus will remain independent from the command of Shinobi commanders of the Shinobi unit. They will only take orders from me and me alone. I have trained them with years of hard work and dedication, at least I should be able to command them." Danzo presses this matter as he refuses to oblige to any request pertaining to the command of Root anbus.
"If only your disciple Tsunade was here, then we could prevent many casualties during this war. Her contributions during the Second Shinobi War are a testament to her prowess. But she is still stubborn as ever and refuses to get over the grief of the death of her lover and younger brother. What a waste of talent and time?" Koharu rebukes Tsunade for her incompetency as she looks at Hiruzen.
"Also, one of the Sannins Jiraiya is now out of Village. His whereabouts are unknown to us. He could have been a huge help for the village. At least, we have Orochimaru to assist us in this war." Homura raises another issue.
"We aren't here to discuss the whereabouts of my disciples but to think of a strategy to win the war. Also, I have summoned them back to the Village. I have sent Jiraiya to scout some intel and Tsunade will arrive shortly," Hiruzen stresses on the graveness of matter.
Koharu and Homura snorts but nods quietly.
"Since, all of the Clan leaders have gathered here. Let's start the meeting."
Various clan leaders and elders present their views and support in one way or another,
"My Akimichi clan will provide Chakra pills and medicines during the war." Choza Akimichi shows his support.
"My Hyuga Clan will take part in scouting, sensing, and reconnaissance teams. We will be a part of the intelligence-gathering team." Hiashi Hyuga present his opinion.
"My Nara clan will take care of logistics."
"Then our Inuzuka clan will from a tracking team."
"Our Yamanaka Clan will handle the Communication and intel transfer."
The meeting lasts for a while with many disputes and conflicts in between.
In the end, a deployment strategy made by Shikaku Nara was unanimously approved by all council members. None of them have the capabilities of outsmarting a Nara in terms of Intelligence and wisdom. Various clans deployed their reserve forces to partake in war.
Many retired Shinobis were requested to assist in the war. As for the Uchiha clan, the majority of the Police Force is deployed to the battlefront with only a remaining few left in the Village to guard and maintain the order in the Village.
After the meeting is over. Hiruzen sighs in relief. He picks up the latest intel regarding the war as he skims through it.
'Looks like this war will bring many great changes to the Shinobi world. Peace is nothing but a pipe-dream in this world.'
---------------------
Meanwhile in the Uchiha compound,
Shisui and Izuna are training in Shurikenjutsu and Taijutsu as they spar with each other. They continuously attack each other with Kunai's and Shurikens and sometimes hand-to-combat. Izuna is honing Shisui's skills in close combat as that is one of the weaknesses of Shisui.
Both of them switch to tantos as they clash with each other. Shisui is a quick learner as he is soaking all the knowledge in Taijutsu and Kenjutsu like a sponge. Izuna is training Shisui in some basic tactics that will help him during the war.
It has been seven days since their previous mission. The sorrow and grief over the loss of his teammate is too big of a burden for Shisui.
Shisui recuperated his wounds and mental trauma in this week as he starts to understand the cruelty of this world. Akira, Aiko, Yagami, and Fumiko are on the battlefield as they are requested by the village to fight in the war due to the shortage of manpower.
Hiruzen gave them a week to recuperate from their wounds and traumas as they are required to fight on the battlefield too.
After training for a while, Shisui starts to breathe heavily and ask for a break,
"Time-out Nii-san. I am…huff…huff…exhausted. Let's take a break for a while."
I stop our spar as I pick up a towel from the nearby tree and give it to Shisui. Shisui wipes his sweat and looks at me.
"Nii-san, you aren't even breathing heavily much less sweating. Your endurance and stamina are on a different level than me." Shisui complains.
"Shisui, with enough practice you will reach the same level as me. For now, let's return home and have some food."
Shisui nods as we walk in the streets of the Uchiha clan. The usual hustle-bustle of clan is nowhere to be seen. Occasionally a few kids and old grandmas could be seen on the streets. The war has heavily affected the business of many shops. The entire business district of the Uchiha clan is deserted. Even my favorite sweet shops where I buy Dango and other sweets are closed. Shisui sulks as he looks at the closed shop.
"Hey, Nii-san. Do you think we will also participate in war?"
I look at Shisui who has a very pensive expression.
"Yes, sooner or later we will be deployed on frontlines to fight for Village. Not only us, even freshly graduated genins with no experience will be sent to the battlefield if the situation demands it. I heard from the father that Konoha is flanked from sides by Iwa and Kumo shinobis.
Shisui I have a serious question for you? Would you mind if I ask from you?"
Shisui shakes his head as he replies,
"Nii-san, just ask the question. There is no need for my approval."
"Then, Shisui what do you think of the current Shinobi system? I mean even small kids like us are sent to war to fight for Village. What do you think about it?" I question him in a serious tone.
"Nii-san, ain't it clear? We all are shinobis and it is our duty to protect our clan and village. Our clan is a part of the village and to protect the clan, I have to protect the village from invaders." Shisui has 'it's obvious' expression on his face as he replies to me.
'Guess, I am the weird one who still has some of the values and mindset from the previous world. This world has the supernatural element Chakra which made being of this world a lot stronger. I also don't know in what way will this world change me? After all, I turned from a powerless person to an overpowered cheat. Will too much power consume me or will I able to overcome the demons of my heart?'
I look at the 'Sin seal' on my hand as I shook my head.
'Guess, only time will tell. For now, I have to focus my attention on other matters. As we walk towards our home, a shadow flickers and appears in front of us.
'Looks like we have to join the war earlier than I thought.'
I am surprised by the person who appeared in front of me.
"I finally found you, Izuna."
Uncle Sakumo appears in front of me as he starts to explain to me,
"Hokage-sama has ordered me to include both of you in my team. We will be moving towards the Kumo battlefront in just about an hour. Gather all of your stuff and necessities, we will meet at the entrance of the village."
Poof…
Sakumo-san dissipates in a puff of smoke as he turned out to be a Shadow Clone.
"Shisui, this answers your earlier question. Now let's hurry and prepare our supplies for the war. We only have an hour to do so."
Both Shisui and I flicker away as we prepare our supplies.
---------------
After an hour later, at Konoha's entrance gate
Nearly, fifty Jounins, ninety chunnins, and large numbers of genins were gathered. Sakumo stands in front of them as he lectures them.
"This is battalion one of our Shinobi unit number four. I am Sakumo Hatake, your Unit commander. Other battalions will gather soon. As for now, all of you march towards the battlefront. I will meet you all shortly with other battalions. For now, the Captain of your battalion will lead you. Do any of you have any queries?"
"No, Sir Commander." All of us shouts in unison.
The battalion marches towards Kumo battlefront as Shisui and I join them.
We arrive at the battlefront in seven hours as we join the camp. The Captain of the Patrol Guards had a meeting with our Captain as both of them devise a strategy to deploy us for the meantime. Our reinforcements will arrive soon and then we can choose an offensive stance.
The tired battalion relaxes for an hour. After an hour we finally step on the battleground.

The war is entirely different from what I expected. There is no direct confrontation between two sides unless one side has an absolute advantage over others.
Both sides are using guerilla warfare tactics to test each other's strength. The forest near the mountains has become the battle zone for the war. The captain further divided the battalion in squads with each squad having thirty members.
Shisui and I are in squad number Nine. We are deployed with a scouting unit together with some Hyugas and Inuzukas. The Captain assigned us to this squad as he doubts our combat capabilities. I had no problem with the squad as I want to slowly experience the intricacies of the war. The war will help me cultivate my skills in tracking and intel gathering.
This war is an opportunity for me. There will be tons of Kekkai Genkai users during this war and I can use this as a chance to increase Jutsus in my arsenal and learn more Kekkai Genkais. I am capable of combining elements but watching a user performing the Kekkai Genkai or figuring it out yourself, the choice is obvious.
The ability to track down enemies and differentiate between decoys and the real clue is quite hard than I thought it out to be. I activated my Sharingan and asked Shisui to do the same as we learned from the Tracker-nins.
I am amazed by their deductions and perception as I start to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Our team is doing pretty well on the scouting missions. The Hyuga's Byakugan helped a lot in avoiding the enemies who lied in ambush ahead. My Sharingan helped me see even further than Hyuga as I can even see infrared and other EM waves.
When the Hyugas ran out of Chakra, we decide to return to camp. On our way, a confrontation finally happened. I have already warned my team about their presence. We met with a combat-oriented team of Kumo. There are around twenty-five ninjas in the enemy team.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique'
I made a few hand signs and spewed out a large fireball. I have to gain the advantage of a pre-emptive strike. The 'Sin seal' on my hand starts to absorb my Chakra rapidly.
After the previous use of 'Sin seal', its rate of Chakra absorption increased by two-fold. But I have found a way to counter that.
'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu'
I form four shadow clones as I continue to fight them. Yes, Shadow clone distributes my Chakra through clones and the Clone's Chakra is still a part of my body.
'Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu'
One of the enemy ninjas uses water style to counter my fireball.
'Swish…swish'
I appear behind an enemy ninja as I slit his throat.
'Poof'
The user of the Fireball technique turns out to be my Shadow clone. We were surrounded by multiple enemy teams ahead and I could only choose this team to fight as they had the least number of ninjas.
Blood dripped from Kumo ninjas neck as he laid dead on the ground. I have targeted one of their tracking-nin. The confrontation finally began. A confrontation usually starts with multiple jutsus from both sides followed by hand to hand combat or taijutsu when they ran out of Chakra.
'Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm'
One of the Hyuga uses his gentle fist art in conjugation with Byakugan to attack the enemies.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
Both Shisui and I activate our Sharingan as we cast a genjutsu on them. This presents a huge opportunity for our team as we are able to slay five more enemies before the Genjutsu is dispelled. This genjutsu was used against the entire enemy squad rather than a person, so it was less effective.
'My Genjutsu Techniques are falling behind. I have to train them during the war with enemies as my prey.'
Shisui draws out his Tanto as he starts to dash around the enemies,
'Body Flicker Technique: Afterimage Clone'
Multiple copies of Shisui appears as they surround enemies. With his fast speed, Shisui can move between his afterimages and deliver attacks from each of them, thus each of them having mass behind them. He moves to another afterimage if any enemy attacks him allowing his opponent to phase through his afterimage.
'Kenjutsu Style: Moonlight Slash'
Shisui starts to attack them one after another. There is no hesitation in his moves as he fluidly executes one move after another.
Now, it is my turn to attack them. All of my shadow clones start to make hand seals,
'Fire Style: Water Style: Lightning Style: Wind Style: Massive Combo Jutsu'
All of my clones spew out respective elements as they clash together to create a large explosion engulfing most of the enemies.
The surviving enemies are executed by my team as we finished them.
"Let's retreat to camp. This fight has caused quite the commotion, we can't risk being surrounded by the enemies." The Hyuga advices as we follow him.
-----------------
A day passed since that incident.
After that fight, Izuna gets promoted to combat squad One. Shisui is transferred to Squad three. The next day,
Scouts gathered the latest intel as they presented a scroll to Captain. The Captain quickly skimmed through the intel as he frowned. He quickly ordered one of Jounins,
"Quickly send this information to Hokage-sama and ask for aid from him. We can't delay this news."
The Jounin immediately went to the logistics and information squad as he relayed the message. A Yamanaka member with a strange device on his head sat near one of the Sensing Technique Sphere'.
The Jounin approaches the Yamanaka clan member as he speaks,
"Inobu-san, please pass this important message to Hokage-sama immediately. We need assistance to deal with the new enemy. Sakumo-san is occupied in a battle against Third Raikage and is unable to help us deal with the intruders."
Inobu Yamanaka nods his head as he transfers the intel to headquarters in Konoha. The Yamanakas uses a 'Hijutsu' of their clan to perform a secret jutsu,
'Mind Body Transmission Technique'
This technique allows them to telepathically connect with another person to send their memories to another person located far away. This technique allows Konoha to have the latest intel on the battlefield every moment. Yamanaka Clan is respected throughout the Village just because of this technique.
In Konoha, inside a building near Hokage's office, a bunch of people monitors the situation of the battlefield through intel sent by various logistics units present near the battlefield. Shikaku roams around the room as he contemplates and relays orders to various units through the help of Inoichi Yamanaka.
Suddenly, Inoichi receives an important message as calls Shikaku.
"Shikaku, this is a very important message from Battalion one of Shinobi Unit Four deployed on Kumo Front."
Shikaku immediately approaches Inoichi as Inoichi places his hand on Shikaku's head to relay the information. Shikaku has a grave expression after he heard the intel.
"Try to hold them back for a few hours, I will immediately relay this information to Hokage-sama. Help will soon be on its way."
Shikaku hurriedly left the room as he had a pensive expression on his face. He knocks on Hokage's office and Hiruzen allows him in.
"Hokage-sama, this is an emergency. We need quick aid at Kumo battlefront."
Shikaku relayed the entire intel to Hiruzen. Hiruzen frowned as he starts to contemplate,
"Shikaku, inform him about this matter. I am sure he will be able to turn the situation around. But before that report the current situation at Iwa borders to me."
Shikaku reports the intel as he returns to headquarters with Hokage's message.
-----------------------
In the meantime, at Kumo battlefront,
The Captain hears the plan relayed by Shikaku as he sighs in relief. Seems like we just have to hold them for a while.
"Gather Squad One and Two, I have important orders for them."
'The situation is not looking good. Help will arrive in a few hours, we have to just hold them back for a while. Some sacrifices have to be made if we want to prevent a disaster to befall on Land of Fire.'
Soon Squad One and Squad Two gathers near Captain's camp as he starts to address them.
"A team of Kumo ninjas successfully infiltrated the Land of Fire borders and are approaching the camp. The number of Shinobis is still unknown but the enemy is quite strong as they have annihilated one of our squad in a matter of minutes."
The Captain read the intel aloud in front of the Squads as he orders,
"We can't allow the enemy team to infiltrate in Land of Fire and possibly assassinate the Daimyo. To cope with them, two of our strongest squads will join hands and confront them. You just have to hold them back for a while as help is on its way."
Both squads quickly dash in direction of enemies. While running Izuna wonders about the identity of enemies who infiltrated the borders.
