Uchiha Fugaku, however, did not expect that Ryosuke could still be so calm after hearing this news, even directly pnning to go to war under such unfavorable conditions.

  The reason the other party was doing this might only be one—his strength had already reached an unfathomable level.

  Back when the Uchiha cn was at its peak, they were not afraid of the power of an entire nation. Even a stronghold like the Cloud Vilge was nothing to fear.

  That was during the era of Uchiha Madara.

  Unfortunately, that guy ultimately abandoned the cn and defected from Konoha Vilge.

  At this moment, a cn member arrived at the meeting room.

  "Cn Leader, the head of the Hyuga cn requests an audience."

  Fugaku did not expect the Hyuga cn leader to come—it should be because he had received the battle orders from the Third Hokage.

  It seemed the other party was also in a panic, or else he wouldn't have come to him so quickly.

  "Let him enter the reception room."

  ———

  Waiting at the entrance of the Uchiha compound, Hyuga Hiashi was feeling extremely anxious.

  He had already received the order from the Hokage's Anbu, instructing their cn to join forces with the Uchiha cn to resist the attack from the Cloud Vilge's ninjas.

  Naturally, he had also caught the meaning behind those words—they were only sending these two cns into battle, with no support from the vilge's other ninjas.

  Was this some kind of joke?

  No matter how strong their two cns were, could they really be powerful enough to resist an entire ninja vilge?

  This was no longer the Warring States period. Vilges now consisted of various ninja factions united with commoner ninjas.

  Could it be that the Third Hokage was deliberately sending their cns into the fire pit?

  It seemed that the previous incident had truly angered the Third Hokage, but for the sake of his younger brother, he absolutely could not follow the Hokage's intentions on this matter.

  He was in such a hurry to come here to see if the Uchiha cn had any good countermeasures—after all, the two cns were now standing on the same front.

  Just as his impatience was growing, he saw the Uchiha cn member return.

  "Cn Leader Fugaku invites you in."

  Inside the reception room, Uchiha Fugaku and Ryosuke were quietly savoring their tea. There was also a freshly brewed cup of tea pced nearby, naturally reserved for the Hyuga cn leader.

  One was genuinely calm, while the other, seeing Ryosuke's composure, followed suit in staying calm.

  Not long after, Hyuga Hiashi, led by an Uchiha cn member, entered the reception room.

  Seeing him arrive, Fugaku smiled and said, "Cn Leader Hyuga, I poured you a cup of tea. Please, have a taste."

  Hyuga Hiashi looked at the steaming hot tea on the table—it was clearly freshly brewed.

  It seemed the Uchiha cn still showed great respect for him as the Hyuga cn leader, making him feel honored.

  But he wasn't here for tea. Sitting down, he immediately spoke, "I wonder if Cn Leader Fugaku has received notice from the Hokage?"

  Uchiha Fugaku calmly took a sip of tea and said with an indifferent expression, "Of course, I have received it. Is that why Cn Leader Hyuga has come?"

  Hyuga Hiashi was immediately shocked inside but tried to maintain a steady expression.

  'He already knew, yet he still looked so rexed?' This was practically a crisis. Was this the composure of a true noble cn?

  The Hyuga cn was also a prestigious family, but in terms of heritage, they were indeed inferior to the Uchiha.

  "Since Cn Leader Fugaku is aware, then I assume you also know that the Third Hokage has tasked only our two cns with resisting the Cloud Vilge's invasion."

  "This is utterly absurd. Should we join forces and demand reinforcements from the vilge? Even though this situation involves my Hyuga cn, at its core, it is still a scheme from the Cloud Vilge. If we lose this war, the vilge will suffer as well."

  Uchiha Fugaku, however, gnced at Ryosuke, who was savoring his tea, and felt a surge of confidence.

  "Cn Leader Hyuga, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Even if it is just our two cns joining forces, we may not necessarily lose."

  Hyuga Hiashi maintained a calm face, but inside, he was already in turmoil.

  As a cn leader, he could not possibly be unaware of the power gap between two cns and an entire ninja vilge.

  During the Third Ninja War, the Uchiha cn was indeed the main force against the Mist Vilge, but at that time, they had the support of many Konoha ninjas.

  There was also the legendary Eight Gates user, Might Duy, whose overwhelming strength allowed him to surpass the Kage level and instantly kill four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, effectively ending the war. It wasn't purely the Uchiha cn's victory.

  Moreover, the enemy they faced now, the Cloud Vilge, was undoubtedly stronger than the Mist Vilge.

  He couldn't help but ask again, "Cn Leader Fugaku, do you mean that our two cns will face the Cloud Vilge directly in battle?"

  Fugaku took another look at the composed Uchiha Ryosuke.

  The other party had just suggested fighting outright.

  Ryosuke's judgment would not be wrong—otherwise, how could the Uchiha cn stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world in the future?

  Feeling confident, he said, "Cn Leader Hyuga, that's right. Our two cns will face them together. Even if we request reinforcements from the Hokage, I doubt we will receive any help at all."

  Even he hadn't expected the Hokage to be so shameless, but as long as they defeated the Cloud Vilge this time, the Uchiha cn's prestige would rise greatly.

  Two cns defeating an entire ninja vilge—what a formidable achievement that would be.

  Perhaps this was all part of Ryosuke's pn. To shape the Uchiha cn as the protectors of the vilge.

  Back during the Nine-Tails incident, the Konoha leadership and vilgers accused the Uchiha of being responsible.

  But he himself had done nothing—how could any other cn members have the ability to control the Nine-Tails?

  If anyone had such power, it was probably Uchiha Shisui, but Shisui was an Anbu under the Third Hokage. How could he have done such a thing?

  Maybe Ryosuke intended to use this battle to change the vilgers' perception of the Uchiha.

  Thinking about it this way, Ryosuke's pn was truly brilliant.

  At the same time, this was both a challenge and an opportunity.

  Hyuga Hiashi was surprised and shocked to see that Fugaku was truly pnning to go through with this.

  If it were anyone else, he would have thought they had lost their mind. But given Fugaku's attitude, he couldn't help but suspect that the Uchiha cn had some hidden trump card or a powerful warrior.

  Earlier, he had noticed that Fugaku kept looking at the other person in the room before making decisions.

  He remembered this person—it was the one who had previously opened the Eight Gates.

  This made him wonder—could this Uchiha be the cn's top combatant?

  Suddenly, a thought struck him.

  Back then, Might Duy had killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, a power far beyond that of a normal Kage-level ninja.

  Could it be that this Uchiha could do the same?

  If so, everything made sense—why Uchiha Fugaku was so calm.

  "Alright, then we will follow Cn Leader Fugaku's decision. Our two cns will stand together against the enemy."

  Fugaku smiled. "Then let us gather our forces today and set out tomorrow. What do you think?"

  "Alright, as you say, Cn Leader Fugaku."

  With that, the Hyuga cn left to gather their forces.

  There was no other choice—the Konoha leadership would not offer support, so the two cns had to fight alone.

  The Uchiha's confidence gave him confidence.

  Once Hyuga Hiashi left, Fugaku turned to Ryosuke.

  "Ryosuke, do you think this arrangement is acceptable?"

  "It will do."

  Actually, Ryosuke did not have other opinions, after all, in the ninja world's battles, he did not know how to arrange troops and formations.

  The reasoning he was convinced of was very simple, as long as his strength was strong enough, and he could eliminate the other party's leading figure, then that would be fine.

  Ordinary ninjas, in a true great war, were just like cannon fodder in general, basically having no effect.

  Especially in the eyes of super-Kage-level powerhouses.
