However, on the Cloud ninja battlefield, the Konoha side only had two Kage-level powerhouses: Sasuke Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha.
On the Cloud ninja side, in addition to the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, there was also a Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
Therefore, every time Konoha fought against the Cloud ninjas, a group of Jonin had to sacrifice themselves to hold back the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
After a year, more than half of the Sarutobi clan members with Jonin-level strength had been killed or injured.
On the battlefield against the Land of Earth, the Shimura clan's losses were also significant.
It was precisely because Konoha had suffered significant losses on the battlefields against the Stone and Cloud ninjas that the Uchiha clan received a request for assistance from Kagami Uchiha, asking for some personnel to be transferred from the Land of Wind battlefield to provide support.
"Heh, as expected, the Uchiha clan is the number one clan in Konoha!"
"The others are just small fry."
After receiving Kagami Uchiha's message, the morale of the Uchiha clan members soared.
The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan jointly founded Konoha. After the First Hokage allowed most of the Senju clan members to integrate into the villagers, the Uchiha clan completely became the number one clan in Konoha.
However, after the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, took office, Setsuna Uchiha of the Uchiha clan led a part of the Uchiha clan members in a coup, which was suppressed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. After that, the situation of the Uchiha clan became somewhat awkward.
Indeed, the Uchiha clan was a great contributor to the founding of Konoha.
But at the same time, the Uchiha were also the first to rebel.
Although after suppressing the clan members led by Setsuna Uchiha, Tobirama Senju did not continue to target the remaining Uchiha clan members, it could be seen in some policies that Tobirama Senju was wary of the Uchiha.
This time, the other three ninja villages went to war with Konoha. The Uchiha clan staked most of its clan members, almost fighting against a ninja village with the strength of a single clan, in order to change their reputation.
Without shedding blood and sacrificing for Konoha, how would the other ninja clans of Konoha view this "rebellious" clan?
Now, the Uchiha clan, with a year's time and the sacrifice of nearly half of their clan members, had finally achieved significant results.
Especially when the other two battlefields were clearly losing, the reputation of the Uchiha in the village had finally improved a lot.
All the Uchiha clan members knew that if some clan members were transferred to support the other two battlefields, the pressure on the Land of Wind battlefield would be greater.
However, unlike the Land of Wind, where there were only the Uchiha family and some small ninja clans as well as ordinary civilian ninjas, the other two battlefields were almost the battlefields of all the other families in Konoha except the Uchiha.
If the Uchiha clan ninjas who went to support could save some members of other ninja clans and gain the friendship of other families, it would be a great help in improving the situation of the Uchiha clan.
"Everyone has seen the information transmitted by Kagami."
"Now, let's decide by raising our hands!"
"How many clan members should we send to support the other two battlefields..."
...
"Anshi."
"Captain Hatake."
In the camp, Li Anshi and Sakumo Hatake met and greeted each other.
Because of the strength displayed by Li Anshi, Sakumo Hatake and Li Anshi often sparred to improve each other's strength. The two could be considered the most familiar friends in this camp.
Since Li Anshi was promoted to Chunin, Li Anshi also had the qualification to lead a team independently.
However, because the number of civilian ninjas was small, and ninja clans would only follow their own clan or other ninja clans, even though Li Anshi had become a Chunin, he did not have any Genin subordinates.
Li Anshi didn't care about this.
On the contrary, having no subordinates made Li Anshi more free. When encountering Sand ninjas, Li Anshi could take action without any scruples.
Counting it, Li Anshi and Sakumo Hatake hadn't seen each other for almost two months.
"Did you get the notification?"
"Mm."
Li Anshi nodded.
"I just got it. I'm going to support the Cloud ninjas. What about you?"
"Haha, then we're not going the same way."
Sakumo Hatake said, "I received the notification to go support the battlefield against the Stone ninjas."
"Stone ninjas, huh..."
Li Anshi looked Sakumo Hatake up and down. "Sakumo, the large-scale Earth Release ninjutsu attacks of the Stone ninjas have a much larger attack range than these puppeteers or wind-type ninjas of the Sand Village. You have to be careful, don't get grazed."
"Heh, you're talking about me, but the Cloud ninjas have two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. Don't let me be fine on my side, while you get caught up in it and die."
Li Anshi and Sakumo Hatake were both ninjas with strong attack power and high speed, but weak defense.
Li Anshi used chakra as inner energy, making his chakra have a unique effect in strengthening and nourishing the body.
But this also made Li Anshi incompatible with ninjutsu.
Sakumo Hatake was much better, he also knew quite a few Lightning Release and Wind Release ninjutsu.
However, Sakumo Hatake put most of his effort into cultivating swordsmanship, and his cultivation in ninjutsu was much worse.
Therefore, both Li Anshi and Sakumo could be said to be fragile ninjas.
"Tsk, Captain Hatake, don't worry, even if you die, I won't die!"
Hearing Sakumo Hatake curse him like this, Li Anshi couldn't help but retort.
According to Li Anshi's memory, the First Shinobi World War was Sakumo Hatake's battle to fame. The title of "Konoha's White Fang" became known for the first time.
In the Second Shinobi World War, Sakumo Hatake had fully grown up. The other four great ninja villages had a rule of "if you encounter Konoha's White Fang, you can abandon the mission, it will not be counted as a mission failure."
Moreover, because of his great contributions, Sakumo Hatake was given the "Hokage half-sleeve" by Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost internally designating Sakumo Hatake as the next Hokage.
Unfortunately, the Third Hokage didn't want to abdicate, and Danzo wanted to take the position. So, after a series of operations, Sakumo Hatake saw the darkness of Konoha and finally died for his beliefs.
Unlike Sakumo Hatake, Li Anshi was not so fragile.
The Will of Fire could restrain Sakumo Hatake, but it had no effect on Li Anshi.
His most steadfast belief was that touch of bright red.
Having received the kindness of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, allowing Li Anshi to grow up safely, Li Anshi protecting Konoha could be considered repaying the kindness of the two generations of Hokage.
But what Li Anshi protected was Konoha, not certain people in Konoha.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others dared to do anything that would endanger Li Anshi, Li Anshi would directly eliminate them.
"See you in Konoha."
"See you in Konoha."
Finally, Li Anshi and Sakumo Hatake bumped fists, setting an agreement to meet again, and then the two walked in two different directions of the camp.
