Fugaku was annoyed with him because he knew that the clan members held a long-standing prejudice against civilian ninjas, which was not something that could be changed in just a few days.

But to defy his order in front of everyone? That was simply unacceptable.

Akira was also dissatisfied with his clan head. How could he ask him to apologize to Yamada in front of so many people?

But if he didn’t apologize, he glared at his clan head, then at Yamada: “I’m sorry."

"Louder, have you lost your voice?" Fugaku shouted angrily.

“I…” Akira’s face turned pale.

"That... Fugaku clan head... that’s enough."

Yamada wanted to resolve the conflict peacefully. He was shocked and unable to react when Fugaku actually asked his clan members to apologize to him.

"Enough?" Fugaku said as he exerted pressure on him with his aura, "I said, My orders must not be disobeyed. Uchiha Akira openly led the clan members to violate the clan rules. Now, I give you three seconds to apologize.”

“THREE!"

Even though Fugaku didn't use a fraction of his aura, it was enough to make everyone around him feel pressure. Yamada Group civilian ninja were afraid to say anything.

"Isn’t he overdoing it?" Tsunade muttered.

"TWO." Fugaku counted.

"Yamada, I'm sorry!"

Akira shouted loudly before Fugaku finished counting to one! He didn't know why, but he was drenched in sweat.

"I'm sorry."

His friend also apologized to them and lowered their heads in shame. Under Fugaku’s pressure, they felt fearful that if they didn’t apologize, he might do something terrible, so they didn’t hesitate.

"Very well, let's forget about it this time. I hope there won't be a next time." Fugaku spoke calmly and dispersed his aura.

"Yes! Clan head!" The clan members responded obediently. They lost their nerve to stir up any trouble, at least for a while.

Fugaku raised his hand to signal for quiet and continued, "Now, there are more than two thousand people here.

At Konoha's border, a war might break out at any moment. I won't waste any more time. Form groups of ten people and divide into two hundred teams.

Start forming your teams as you will. I'll give you one minute."

As soon as they heard this, they didn’t waste any time, even though they looked confused. They swiftly formed groups with their friends.

Fugaku pov

He looked at the medical squad behind Tsunade and thought The number of medical ninjas was only forty or fifty. That’s too few; he couldn’t help but feel dismayed.

According to estimates, there are only two hundred teams, with an average of one medical ninja for four teams, or forty ninjas. This does not include the large team led by him.

How can he manage?

Fugaku, who had played so many strategy games, knew that the medics were very important in war.

Unfortunately, he has no choice. Because medic ninjas were hard to get by.

Tsunade is a great medical ninja who proposed a plan to include at least one medic in every team during the Third Shinobi World War.

She wanted to reduce the casualties and deaths of her comrades by having someone who could heal them on the battlefield.

She also wanted to train more medical ninjas who could fight and defend themselves. Her proposal was not accepted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, who thought that it was too difficult and risky to implement.

However, Tsunade continued to train and mentor many medical ninjas.

----------------------------------------------

“Let your medical ninja squad join their teams."

Fugaku said to Tsunade: He quickly looked away from her. He felt uneasy around her. She was too dangerous for him. He didn’t feel the same for any other female ninja.

Tsunade nodded and gestured to the ninjas behind her. She was puzzled by him. She had never noticed anything different about him before. But when he got angry, she felt weird.

“What am I thinking?”

Tsunade frowned and closed her eyes. She thought that the night she saw them must have left a deep impression on her.

Fugaku saw the ninjas forming teams in front of him and took a deep breath.

“To prevent the sand ninjas from infiltrating the Land of Fire, Lord Shikaku, please tell them the task they need to take."

He knew that spies usually worked in small groups. A team of ten ninjas could handle any infiltrator. He had planned two hundred routes to clear the spies along the way.

This was a basic rule of a strategy game he had played. He trusted that Nara Shikaku, the genius strategist, would understand him.

Shikaku took out many maps from his arms. Planning routes for them all in one night was easy for him.

Under Shikaku’s command, the ninjas left one by one.

---------------------------------------------

“Hehehe, Lord Fugaku, how about letting me join your team?” A hoarse voice came from behind.

“You?”

He turned around and saw Orochimaru, who had pale skin, long hair, and blue-green earrings.

“What? You don’t want me?” He smiled wickedly and showed him a document: “I have the appointment letter from Lord Hokage.”

“Of course you are welcome. Lord Orochimaru, one of the three Sannin, joining us, will make us much stronger and guarantee our victory."

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t find a reason. He didn’t know if Orochimaru was already a mad scientist.

But having the extra combat power of a kage-level ninja would outweigh the cons.

He hadn’t taken Anko as his disciple yet. She was only seven years old and still in Ninja School.

But Orochimaru’s sudden joining made Fugaku wary. Orochimaru didn’t care what he thought.

He walked to Tsunade’s side and said, “Thank you.”
