37 Uchiha Clan Reinforcements

Soon Night Falls.

The arrival of night made the already nervous Konoha Legion even worse.

Reluctantly set up the camp, but the next problem is still embarrassing them.

At the start they had enough amount of Grain and other resources but they were all damaged during the sudden battle.

If the upcoming Uchiha clan does not carry a large amount of food, they will face a huge threat of food shortage.

Konoha's material transport unit will arrive in a month and their food can only continue for three days, but at this time they can only quietly wait for the arrival of the Uchiha clan.

Two days passed quickly, and finally at noon on the third day, the Uchiha clan arrived as Orochimaru welcomed them himself.

"Patriarch Kawasaki, I've been waiting for a long time."

Orochimaru, who was wondering how to get food, heard the guards report that the Uchiha clan had arrived, and Orochimaru immediately stood up and walked out of the command post.

As soon as I walked out of the entrance of the camp, I saw Uchiha Kawasaki who was also approaching on the opposite side, and then smiled and greeted him.

"Orochimaru! It seems that Cloud didn't give you time to prepare, and didn't let you build the camp as well, it was so embarrassed"

When Uchiha Kawasaki entered the camp, he noticed the dry blood stains on the ground, the rugged terrain, and the tired face of the ninja passing by.

More importantly, when he passed a tent, he saw inside wounded men lying on the bed with the wound bandaged.

"We have made them pay the price,Two Tails Jinchuriki, of the cloud had his tails cut off, and many of them have died. I am afraid they will have to rest for a few days before they can come out."

On hearing Uchiha Kawasaki words, Orochimaru knew in his heart that although they were partners, but cooperation also depends on the strength.

If you want to use Uchiha you will have to show some strength.

"That's the best."

When Uchiha Kawasaki heard that Orochimaru had wounded the Jinchuriki of Cloud, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru has this kind of strength. You must know that the Jinchuriki Cloud Village is a top powerhouse who has defeated countless powerhouses and is feared by everyone

On the other hand, Orochimaru's strongest record before this was only with Tsunade, and Jiraya when they joined forces to resist the demigod Hanzo of Rain Village.

This is because Hanzo was afraid of Konoha, and he was easy on them.

"Unexpectedly, he can now cut the tails of a Biju His growth rate is terrible! It seems that we have to think about it carefully, about what attitude we will have towards Orochimaru in the future."

Along with Kawasaki, Orochimaru walked into the command tent in the center of the camp, and Orochimaru asked suddenly

"I don't know how many supplies the Patriarch Kawasaki brought?"

Orochimaru cut straight to the subject, the issue he was most concerned about at this time. He has no time for excessive greetings.

"20,000 shurikens! Enough rations for one week of our clan! And 2,000 rolls of bandages..."

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't even say the usual polite words at the beginning, and asked him how much supplies he was carrying.

Uchiha Kawasaki thought that Orochimaru's army had just gone through a battle, and immediately realized they should be in dire situation and then directly stated the quantity of their supplies.

"Patriarch Kawasaki, everyone is in the same boat now, I will tell you directly! Our rations are basically exhausted, and even if we add your rations, it may only last for 2 days, and Konoha's supplies still has a month to arrive"

"The problem we are currently facing is that if we don't choose to retreat now, we can only find a way to grab some supplies from Cloud"

The situation was urgent, Orochimaru made a long story short, and told everything to Uchiha Kawasaki about the shortage of supplies.

There area is desolate all around, even if there are some animals and plants, but there is no way to support a force of more than 2,000 people for a month.

And Cloud Village won't give them, so long time, and they might attack any moment. If the ninjas can't even eat food, then how can they battle.

"Let's listen to everyone's opinions on this!"

Uchiha Kawasaki didn't expect Orochimaru to talk to him about retreat just after arriving on the battlefield. But he also knew in his heart that now was not the time to argue, and Orochimaru was right. If the short-term discussion is inconclusive, then they may not even have food to retreat by then.

Immediately proposed, to initiate the Council, so that everyone can discuss together.

"Okay, let's do it then!"

Then Orochimaru walked out of the tent and asked the ninja to inform all Jonin and Kozuki in the camp to come to the headquarters for a meeting.

Soon 10 Jonin of Konoha along with Kozuki and hundreds of Shinobi from the Uchiha clan entered the command room.

In the command room, Orochimaru was sitting in the center of the main seat, Kozuki and Uchiha Kawasaki on his left and right, followed by the Konoha ninjas and Uchiha's ninjas.

"Who is this?"

Uchiha Kawasaki looked at Kozuki who was sitting across from him and asked suspiciously. He didn't know the boy who seemed to be only a 10-year Kid, could actually sit on an equal footing with him.

He had come to support Orochimaru, but Orochimaru had found a child to humiliate him.

"He is Konoha Genius Kozuki Shiro, who even defeated Kakashi the son of White Fang"

Orochimaru naturally could see the anger on Uchiha Kawasaki face, but said calmly.

"Kozuki Shiro I heard that you defeated Kakashi in the Chunin Exam, but this is the elite ninja council. Why should you, a Chunin participate in the Council?"

When Uchiha Kawasaki heard that he was just a kid who defeated another kid, he couldn't help venting his anger completely. Could it be that in Orochimaru heart, he the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, an elite, was equal to Chunin.

Kozuki saw the angry Uchiha Kawasaki on the opposite side, smiled slightly, and did not say anything.

"Kozuki Kun has enough strength to sit here"

Seeing Kozuki silent, Orochimaru quickly said in his place.

As early as today, Orochimaru knew that Uchiha Kawasaki would be arrogant, and finally proposed to convene the Jonin Council, and he called Kozuki specially to have an encounter with Uchiha Kawasaki to show his strength. Only one person can truly control the frontline battlefield.

Only when the Uchiha clan sees their strength, the Uchiha clan will fully assist and even obey them.

"Strength? Does it depend on the strength to defeat Kakashi? Does defeating a child make you feel that our Uchiha clan only has this strength, Orochimaru! Then I am afraid It's not necessary to stay here!"

Uchiha Kawasaki saw that the boy in front of him ignoring him he got even more angry and argued with Orochimaru who was sitting on the main seat.

"Haha! Kozuki was indeed called by me, but does it mean that the patriarch Kawasaki measures strength according to age? Kozuki is indeed young, but he was the one who cut the tails of Biju and also killed several Jonin of Cloud, isn't this strength enough in the eyes of Patriarch Kawasaki?"

On seeing Uchiha Kawasaki's angry face, Orochimaru Immediately told Kozuki's record to Kawasaki.

"What? Orochimaru are you kidding me? Even you are at his age was a Chunin at best"

Kawasaki was surprised by his words and couldn't help but asking.

"Hehe Kozuki-Kun is special..."

Orochimaru laughed while looking at Kozuki who even he didn't have the courage to fight.
