Tsunade explained, "The No. 3 antidote should be able to handle the vast majority of Salamander toxins, but the legendary Salamander Ibuse is somewhat special."
"Its toxins are so potent they could even poison the summoner, Hanzou himself, and they possess a high degree of concealment."
"Therefore, I am very worried that the toxin of Salamander Ibuse is a mutated or enhanced variety that will compound with the special biological toxin released by Hanzou."
Nara Rushan looked on with concern.
"Hanzou is the key. With the support of Salamander Ibuse's mutated toxins, if the decisive battle between the three of you and Hanzou reaches a stalemate, you might run into trouble." Jiraiya frowned and said uncertainly.
"So, shouldn't we ask Sakumo Hatake for support? Or contact Clan Leader Uchiha Fucheng; his Mangekyo Sharingan ability could save lives at a critical moment."
Nara Rushan's gaze drifted for a moment. He had thought of the key point, but ultimately did not continue to explain.
Orochimaru, standing to the side, glanced sideways and scoffed.
"Jiraiya, think more about the significance of this campaign for the Village. We have been fighting the Rain Ninjas for so long; you should be able to see their strength by now. The stage set by Hiruzen is not meant for others to perform on."
Tsunade understood the subtext of Orochimaru's words, but she didn't seem to care.
Jiraiya felt somewhat unwilling and seemed to be sulking.
However, both of them understood the implication behind Orochimaru's words.
As expected of Konoha's brilliant strategist, Nara Rushan considered everything and cautiously added, "Actually, we could schedule the arrival of Konoha's logistics supply troops for the day before our general offensive on Amegakure!"
Jiraiya and the others were not fools; they had extremely high combat IQs and immediately grasped the subtext of Nara Rushan's words.
"Not letting the experts participate, but letting them hold the line?" The Sannin's eyes lit up as they heard this.
Nara Rushan continued to add, "In this way, Sakumo Hatake, who is leading the supply troops, and Clan Leader Uchiha Fucheng in the rear, will both be temporarily stationed at Wawu City, which is very close to Amegakure."
"Even if Hanzou's strength exceeds expectations, we won't suffer too many losses on the battlefield. With Sakumo Hatake and Clan Leader Uchiha Fucheng holding the line nearby, Hanzou's reservations will likely be even greater."
Jiraiya nodded gently, and Tsunade also revealed a smile.
Orochimaru finally gave his approval, "Fine, let's proceed with the campaign preparations according to this plan. Our time for the general offensive remains unchanged!"
...
The Great War in the Land of Rain was on the verge of breaking out.
The message Tsunade sent privately to Uchiha Fucheng let him know the battle plan for the general offensive in advance.
Sakumo Hatake's logistics troops and Uchiha Fucheng's security combat unit would both be stationed near Wawu City, close to Amegakure, before the war began.
This was only 23 kilometers away from the core battlefield of Amegakure.
With the "White Fang of the Leaf" and "Magic Eye Uchiha Fucheng" deterring the surroundings, even if Jiraiya and the others were no match for Hanzou, Konoha could still use these two Kage-level combatants to threaten Hanzou from close range, forcing him not to act rashly.
Speaking of Uchiha Fucheng's "Magic Eye" nickname, it was most widely circulated among the Sand Ninjas.
Uchiha Fugaku knew about his nickname and had secretly been happy about it for a long time.
After all, he was called "Fierce Eye," and his younger brother was called "Magic Eye"; it sounded like a well-ordered legacy.
Many previous Sand Ninja prisoners had seen the power of Uchiha Fucheng's Mangekyo.
That red Mangekyo, wrapped in lightning and terrifyingly abnormal, had left an indelible mark on the Sand Ninjas' memories.
Coupled with Uchiha Fugaku's very famous "Fierce Eye" nickname, after the prisoners were released back to the Hidden Sand Village, they naturally bestowed the nickname "Magic Eye" upon Uchiha Fucheng.
When Uchiha Fucheng found out, he was speechless.
"Uchiha Fugaku looks fierce, so 'Fierce Eye' is fine. But I, Uchiha Fucheng, am clearly dashing and handsome; how did I end up with such a villainous name as 'Magic Eye'?"
...
At this moment, Uchiha Fucheng was with Mikoto, going to make contact with Yahiko and Konan.
Yahiko, who had already been treated, was lying on the bed in good condition.
And Konan, who had always been dirty while wandering outside, had become much more delicate after being cleaned and groomed under 0018's care.
"Clan Leader Uchiha Fucheng!"
The medical Ninja bowed and greeted him. The medical Ninjas here were naturally elites cultivated within the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fucheng nodded and walked to Yahiko's bedside. "How is this child named Yahiko doing?"
"He is just physically weak and suffering from some malnutrition, coupled with a cold from being caught in the rain, so he needs to stay in bed for a while. There is no serious illness; after taking medicine for about three days, he should be cured."
Uchiha Fucheng looked at Yahiko. His real thought was considering whether to guide them to join Konoha.
If he were like Jiraiya, only teaching Ninjutsu but leaving them to fend for themselves in the Land of Rain, that wouldn't change their fates.
"Yahiko, Konan, I am the Legion Commander of the Konoha Combat Readiness and Security Force, and also the Clan Leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fucheng."
Uchiha Fucheng smiled and sat down beside Yahiko quite naturally.
He looked at the two of them quite sincerely. "I created the war orphan management structure here. Have they been mistreating children? Or is someone bullying you, making you unable to stay?"
"Why, when there is food and a warm room, are you risking danger to run away from here?"
Uchiha Fucheng looked imposing, clearly a big shot.
Yahiko was a bit fearful and shifted his body slightly toward the head of the bed.
Currently, Yahiko and Konan were still very young children.
Having lost their parents and their home, fear had made them "frightened birds" in this unfamiliar environment.
"I'm afraid Konoha will kill us." When Yahiko said this, his Adam's apple couldn't help but bob.
"The previous Ninjas of the Land of Rain publicized to everyone that Konoha loves to capture ordinary people for human experiments and will sell our body organs."
Yahiko's voice became quieter as he spoke.
Being a precocious youth, he clearly knew that this propaganda was a rumor deliberately guided by the Land of Rain.
Konan also timidly tugged at her blue-purple hair and added in a low voice from the side.
"Our parents both died in the explosions of the battle. My parents died in a collapsed house, and Yahiko's parents were burned alive by fire falling from the sky."
0018, the little God of Wealth behind Konan, gently stroked Konan's hair.
Konan calmed her emotions and then continued, "We were worried that if we stayed in the orphanage, when the Rain Ninjas attacked again, we would be killed by those falling rocks and fire, so we secretly hid in the cave."
Looking at the timid Konan in front of him, he really couldn't associate this child with the future "spendthrift Konan."
Uchiha Fucheng looked at the two children frankly and said very straightforwardly, "For ordinary people, the Ninja World War is as unreasonable as a natural disaster."
"You probably don't know the cause of this war between the Land of Rain and Konoha."
"I can tell you clearly that this is entirely the evil consequence caused by the leader of Amegakure, Hanzou, because of his expanding personal ambition."
"He was the first to declare war on Konoha and the Hidden Sand Village; in this respect, Konoha possesses natural justice in this war."
"But your parents, your family, your friends and relatives have paid a painful price because of Village leaders like Hanzou."
Konan felt a bit sad after hearing this.
And in Yahiko's eyes, a look of distrust seemed to appear.
Uchiha Fucheng's "Original Sin Theory of the Land of Rain" did not seem to align with Yahiko's thoughts.
