BECOME MADARA'S GRANDLE IN NARUTO WORLD
FIRST STEPS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

The various clan leaders and clan elders gathered in the meeting room as the meeting began. Hot discussions began to occur along with the emergence of various issues.

“I will deploy my Anbus Root on the Iwa battlefield. But my Root anbus will remain independent from the command of the Shinobi commander Shinobi unit. They will only take orders from me and me. I have trained them with hard work and dedication over the years, at least I should be able to lead them.” Danzo emphasized the matter because he refused to comply with any requests relating to Root anbus orders.

“If only your disciple Tsunade was here, then we can prevent many casualties during this war. His contribution during the Second Shinobi War was a testament to his greatness. But he is still stubborn as ever and refuses to forget the grief over the death of his lover and younger brother. Waste of talent and time?” Koharu reprimanded Tsunade for her incompetence as she looked towards Hiruzen.

“Also, one of Sannin Jiraiya is now out of the Village. His existence is unknown to us. He can be a great help to the village. At least, we have Orochimaru to help us in this war.” Homura raised another matter.

“We are not here to discuss the whereabouts of my students, but to think of a strategy to win the war. Also, I have called them back to the Village. I have sent Jiraiya to look for some intel and Tsunade will be arriving soon, Hiruzen” emphasizes on the seriousness of the material.

Koharu and Homura snorted but nodded slowly.

“Because, all the Clan leaders have gathered here. Let's start the meeting.”

The various clan leaders and elders conveyed their views and support in one way or another,

"My Akimichi Clan will provide Chakra pills and medicines during the war." Choza Akimichi showed his support.

“Klan Hyuga-ku will take part in the reconnaissance, sensing, and reconnaissance team. We will be part of the intelligence gathering team.” Hiashi Hyuga expressed his opinion.

"Klan Nara I'll take care of the logistics."

"Then our Inuzuka clan will be from the tracking team."

“Klan Yamanaka we will handle Communication and transfer intel.”

The meeting lasted quite a long time with many disputes and conflicts in between.

In the end, the deployment strategy created by Shikaku Nara was unanimously approved by all the board members. None of them had the ability to outsmart Nara in terms of Intelligence and wisdom. Various clans deployed their reserve forces to take part in the war.

Many retired Shinobi were asked to help in the war. As for the Uchiha clan, the majority of the Police were deployed to the battlefield with only a few remaining in the Village to maintain and maintain order in the Village.

After the meeting is over. Hiruzen let out a sigh of relief. He picked up the latest intel on the war as he skimmed through.

'It looks like this war will bring a lot of great changes to the Shinobi world. Peace is nothing but a pipe dream in this world.'

Meanwhile in the Uchiha complex,

Shisui and Izuna practice Shurikenjutsu and Taijutsu as they compete against each other. They constantly attack each other with Kunai and Shuriken and sometimes fight each other. Izuna honed Shisui's skills in close combat because it was one of Shisui's weaknesses.

The two turned to tanto as they clashed against each other. Shisui is a fast learner because he absorbs all the knowledge in Taijutsu and Kenjutsu like a sponge. Izuna trains Shisui in some basic tactics that will help him during the war.

It had been seven days since their previous mission. The sadness and grief over losing a teammate became too much of a burden for Shisui. 

Shisui recovers her wounds and mental trauma this week as she begins to understand the cruelty of this world. Akira, Aiko, Yagami, and Fumiko are on the battlefield as they are asked by the village to fight due to a labor shortage.

Hiruzen gave them a week to recuperate from the injuries and traumas as they also had to fight on the battlefield.

After practicing for a while, Shisui started breathing heavily and asked for a break,

“Time out Nii-san. Me ... huff .. huff .. tired. Let's take a break.”

I stopped our argument as I took a towel from a nearby tree and gave it to Shisui. Shisui wiped her sweat and looked at me.

“Nii-san, you're not even panting let alone sweating. Your endurance and stamina are on a different level than mine. ” Shisui complains.

“Shisui, with enough practice you will reach the same level as me. For now, let's go back home and eat.”

“Hei, Nii-san. Do you think we will also participate in the war? ”

I saw Shisui who had a very pensive expression.

“Yes, sooner or later we will be placed in the front line to fight for the Village. Not only us, even a newly graduated genin with no experience would be sent to the battlefield if the situation demanded. I heard from my father that Konoha was flanked from the side by Iwa and Kumo shinobi.

Shisui I have a serious question for you? Do you mind if I ask from you? ”

Shisui shook his head as he replied,

“Nii-san, just ask the question. No need for my consent. ”

“Then, Shisui, what do you think of the current Shinobi system? I mean, even little kids like us are sent to war to fight for the village. What are you thinking?" I asked him in a serious tone.

“Nii-san, isn't it obvious? We are all shinobi and it is our duty to protect our clans and villages. Our clan is part of the village and to protect the clan, I must protect the village from invaders.” Shisui had a 'clear' expression on her face as she replied to me.

'I guess I'm the weird one who still has some values and mindset from the previous world. This world has a supernatural element chakra that makes the creatures of this world much more powerful. I don't know how this world will change me? After all, I went from being a helpless person to being a masterful swindler. Is too much power going to exhaust me or will I be able to defeat the demons in my heart?'

I looked at the 'Sin Seal' in my hand as I shook my head.

'Guess, only time will tell. For now, I have to focus my attention on other things. As we walked towards our house, a shadow flickered and appeared in front of us.

'Looks like we should join the war earlier than I thought.'

I was surprised by the person who appeared in front of me.

“Finally I found you, Izuna.”

Uncle Sakumo appeared in front of me as he began to explain to me,

“Hokage-sama has ordered me to include the two of you into my team. We will be moving towards the Kumo battlefield in just about an hour. Collect all your goods and needs, we will meet at the entrance of the village.”

Poofs…

Sakumo-san disappeared in a puff of smoke as she turned into a Shadow Clone.

“Shisui, this answered your previous question. Now let's hurry up and get our supplies ready for war. We only have an hour to do it.”

Both Shisui and I blinked as we prepared our supplies.

After an hour later, at the entrance of Konoha

Nearly, fifty Jounins, ninety chunnins, and a large amount of genin were collected. Sakumo stood in front of them as he lectured them.

“This is battalion one of our number four Shinobi units. I'm Sakumo Hatake, Commander of Your Unit. Another battalion will soon gather. For the time being, all of you are marching towards the battlefield. I'll see you all soon with another battalion. For now, your Battalion Captain will lead you. Do any of you have any questions?”

"No, Mr. Commander." We all screamed in unison.

The battalion marched towards the Kumo battlefield as Shisui and I joined them.

We arrived at the battlefield in seven hours as we joined the camp. The Patrol Guard Captain had a meeting with our Captain as the two of them strategized to deploy us for the time being. Our reinforcements will arrive soon and then we can choose an offensive position.

The tired battalion relaxed for an hour. After an hour we finally stepped on the battlefield.
