Although Uchiha Chi had already gathered a vast amount of intelligence before arriving at the front lines, it still took him two full days to thoroughly familiarize himself with the area. During these two days, after taking command of the border defense forces, he gained a comprehensive understanding of the thousand personnel under his command. Combining this with the current practical situation, he swiftly made a crucial decision.
Uchiha Chi divided the border defense force into two parts. A small fraction of about two hundred personnel was precisely selected by Uchiha Chi with his sharp eye.
They were the elite of the force. Years of border patrolling had made them battle-hardened and experienced, forming the backbone of the battlefield. At the same time, they were intimately familiar with the terrain of the Land of Grass and the combat style of Iwagakure. They were paired with members of the Uchiha Clan to form small squads tasked with engaging small-scale enemy forces from the Land of Earth in the early stages.
