Chapter 431: Performance
"This group of cloud ninjas, the speed is really fast enough, and they actually broke through into this stronghold?"
Uchiha Fugaku listened to the members of the Hinata clan in front of him, and he already knew the situation ahead.
How long has it been since Yun Ren set off, and he has already hit here?
Is it bypassed? Or did it come in by force?
But no matter what, this is completely different from what Uchiha Fugaku thought, and the idea of completely pressing these cloud ninjas on the border line and preventing them from stepping into the land of fire is completely different.
However, according to the description of this Hyuga ninja, it seems that these cloud ninjas are just bypassing.
Because their number is less than a hundred.
"Captain Fugaku, there aren't many guards in this stronghold, but they're still struggling to support it."
Hinata said quickly: "If we speed up now, we should be able to dispose of them, but...."
This Hyuga ninja is the former teammate of the Uchiha Ryukei, the Hyuga talent.
The last time this guy followed the Uchiha Roukage, along with Senjutsu to protect the members of the task force.
Originally, he thought it would be an extremely dangerous battle, but what he never expected was this.
His detachment leader, Uchiha Ryukage, actually killed the guy named Troy, which caused the morale of the cloud ninja who came with him to drop sharply.
Coupled with the help of Senjutsu and Uchiha Liukage, with the members of the task force, they easily dealt with those cloud ninjas.
After that mission, Yun Shinobi began to shrink his front, and Hinata Saito also returned to Konoha with the Uchiha Liukage.
In fact, he has the privilege of fighting this time, that is, he can avoid going to the battlefield again.
But it's a pity that both Hinata Hinata and Hinata hope that they can go.
And he, who has cooperated with the Uchiha Ryukage, naturally believes in his detachment leader.
After learning that his detachment leader would choose to go to the battlefield, he did not hesitate to choose to follow.
Yun Ren's raid force is indeed not much, and there are only about 100 people when they are full.
They have 2,000 ninjas here, and no matter how you look at them, they can easily destroy them.
It's a pity that the two thousand ninjas of them are tired now.
Such a rush to squeeze physical strength to the limit made them lose a lot of combat ability.
Although it was easy to destroy more than 100 people, the problem was that if these more than 100 people ran back a few times, let Yun Ren know their current situation, which could be regarded as exposing their intelligence.
Uchiha Fugaku naturally knew what Hinata meant by Ayako, and he made a decision after a little thought.
"You guys rest, Uchiha Chuan and Uchiha Liukage, you two give it to me, and we'll deal with them."
"Total.... Captain? β
Hinata thought he had misheard, but when he saw the Uchiha Liuying and Uchiha Chuan following Uchiha Fugaku without any hesitation, he was suddenly a little confused.
"Captain, just the three of you? After a long journey, most of the ninjas are tired, but they still have combat power, so let's ..... together after an hour's rest."
"No, we'll leave it to you." Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, and he smiled slightly.
"I'm not trying to wipe them out, I'm just going to drive them away. Don't take the initiative if they notice you....."
As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku had already walked towards those cloud shinobi, and Hinata could only convey his orders.
Uchiha Fugaku really didn't think about destroying all these people at once, not that he couldn't do it, but it was too troublesome.
Because of his fighting style, the power of ninjutsu will be too great, and the entire stronghold will be razed to the ground, and all the supplies and everything will be reduced to ashes.
In that case, what's the point of him intercepting now?
It's better to let all these cloud ninjas enter that damn stronghold, and then he directly unleash a large-scale fire escape outside.
With his strength, he can definitely burn the people and things in it with a fire!
Of course, if those Yun Ren were too cooperative, he would definitely not have any hesitation.
Quickly approached with the two captains of the guard department, and Uchiha Fugaku was also observing the two children of his own family.
To tell you the truth, although these two guys are both children from the Uchiha clan.
But these two people seem to be just respectful to him, the patriarch.
This discovery made Uchiha Fugaku a little depressed, but he also knew that these two people were probably completely obedient to Uchiha Kai's kid.
In other words, as long as it comes out of the Ministry of Security, there are few people who are not completely under the orders of the Uchiha.
This is a kind of personality charm, although Uchiha Fugaku is a little envious.
But he knew that the entire Uchiha clan was more likely to listen to him and Uchiha Kei at the same time.
Except that the strength seems to be inferior to the two people in front of him, everything else is fine.
"Chuan, Liuying, wait a minute, the two of you enter the stronghold and cooperate with the ninjas inside to clear the cloud ninja."
When he was about to approach the stronghold, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly spoke: "I'll leave those guys on the front to deal with it, be careful, I don't want Kaijun to trouble me at that time." β
"Patriarch, please rest assured, we will come out to assist you immediately after we clean up the cloud ninja in there." Uchiha Chuan and Uchiha Ryukage glanced at each other, and then Uchiha Kawa spoke directly.
The two of them didn't know at all what the specific strength of Uchiha Fugaku was.
Except for the Uchiha Chuan who saw him deal with the Nine-Tails once, he had never seen this patriarch make a move.
They knew that Uchiha Fugaku had kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, and these eyes were very terrifying.
It is said that the entire Uchiha clan is now only possessed by this patriarch and their minister.
It's just that their minister, Uchiha Kai, doesn't seem to have shown those eyes.
However, both of them firmly believe that Uchiha Kei definitely has such eyes, after all, Uchiha Kai's strength is really a bit unfathomable.
It's just Uchiha Fugaku's words.....
Even if he has such terrifying eyes, his actual combat experience and the number of battles really make people disagree.
Maybe his command skills are very good, after all, he is in charge of a family, and he also had a good performance in World War III.
But in terms of fighting, it really doesn't give them much confidence.
Uchiha Fugaku also seemed to know what the two people were thinking, which made him a little angry but funny.
However, he didn't have any idea of explanation, he jumped and then accelerated directly, and quickly rushed towards Yun Ren.
Uchiha Kawa and Uchiha Ryukage glanced at each other, and the two of them quickly ran towards the inside of the stronghold.
They only hope that there aren't too many cloud ninjas in this stronghold now, so that they can go to support quickly.
Or maybe there are more cloud ninjas, so this can make Uchiha Fugaku safer.
Uchiha Fugaku quickly advanced, and as he sprinted, he had already opened his writing wheel.
When he came to these cloud ninjas, his eyes had completely turned into a kaleidoscope state.
Kaleidoscope glanced at it slightly, and in just an instant, he had already judged how many Yun Ninjas were presentβabout sixty.
These cloud ninjas belong to the type that uses ninjutsu to respond on the side, and of course, it seems that they are also eager to rush into this stronghold.
It may be that the Konoha ninja in that stronghold is too tough, and there are all kinds of seals and enchantments in the stronghold, which makes it impossible for them to rush in en masse at once.
The sudden appearance of Uchiha Fugaku really scared them as well!
But they were qualified ninjas after all, and although they were taken aback by the Konoha ninja who suddenly appeared in front of them, they reacted immediately.
However, Uchiha Fugaku had no intention of giving them any chance at all.
With one hand sealed, the weird kaleidoscope instantly erupted with an unbelievably weird chakra.
These Yun Ren who looked at him suddenly felt as if his body had been pierced by something, and he was completely fixed in place.
And in their minds, a strange figure with a scarlet black background slowly appeared.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't pause in the slightest, and after all that was done, he quickly sealed his hands.
The next moment, a desperate flame erupted like a sea of fire!
"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"
.....
"This is...."
The Uchiha Kawa and the Uchiha Ryukage had just jumped above this stronghold, and they were still figuring out how to get into it.
As a result, the terrifying chakra erupted directly from the front of this stronghold, and the scorching spark rushed to the face in an instant!
Such a terrifying aura really stunned both of them.
So the two of them immediately jumped up after looking at each other, and at the same time jumped onto a big tree.
Looking at the forest in the distance, which had turned into a sea of fire, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Obviously, they have realized that this is the masterpiece of Uchiha Fugaku.
Such a terrifying fire escape seems to be unleashed only by their Uchiha clan.
As for the ape flying clan who are also good at fire escape?
They are indeed good, but their clan plays with fire, and they are a little worse than the Uchiha.
Such a terrifying fire escape really made the two of them gasp, and they now found that they seemed to have underestimated their patriarch.....
......
"This...."
Hinata stood in front of the large army and watched the huge flames spread in the distance.
Seeing that Yun Ren was wrapped in flames and directly burned to ashes, he was really taken aback.
Not only him, but also the ninjas who had all sat on the ground behind him and recovered, all stared at the huge fire in the distance.
Feeling the scorching heat on their faces, the heat made them feel fear in their hearts.
But at the same time of fear, it also made them feel extremely relieved.
With such a powerful ninja existing, and such a terrifying ninja existing, then they will be much safer no matter how you look at it.
This war, with such combat effectiveness at the same time, may be able to tilt the balance of battle in their favor.
Counting the people on the front line, it is only 6,000 against 8,000 people, and they actually have a certain degree of depression in their hearts.
But in order to protect their homeland and protect everything they need to protect, they went to the battlefield with a strong enough conviction.
At this moment, this move by Uchiha Fugaku also seems to have given them some confidence, some confidence that they can win.....
.....
The Konoha ninja who went out on the expedition, in fact, most people were a little pessimistic in their hearts.
Although they are fighting on the borders of the Fire Nation, even if the supply speed is a little faster.
But they were really nearly two thousand fewer than Yun Ren, and no matter who came to such a gap in numbers, there would be some fear.
It's not that there are no examples of Konoha winning more with less, on the contrary, there are quite a lot, but who are the people leading the team at that time?
Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, and the current four generations of Hokage wave feng shui gate!
Although Uchiha Fugaku has good strength, he really doesn't have many good records.
Even if there are some afterthoughts, because Bo Feng Shuimen is the fourth generation of Hokage who became after the end of the war.
During the war, no one thought he could do it, and Orochimaru's strength was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
But Orochimaru's misfortune is that he meets a sinister opponent.
Coupled with the fact that he himself has done some not-so-good things, coupled with his character, he lost the Hokage's position because of this.
But no matter what, it is already an established fact that Bo Feng Shuimen has become the fourth generation of Hokage.
As a result, these ninjas now believe that under his leadership, it is not uncommon for less to win more.
And Uchiha Fugaku himself really doesn't have any record that he can do.
The position of the head of the security department has long been replaced by Kei Uchiha.
Under his leadership, the ninjas who are facing Yunyin head-on, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to give them hope.
But now, Uchiha Fugaku has shown more strength than they imagined, which has given them a lot of confidence.
Even if they are indeed ready to die in battle, everyone has the same desire to survive.
As long as there is the slightest opportunity, they will try to grasp it in their hands.
Just as people always yearn for the light, there is only one chance in life, and this is the light.
This is one of the deepest, most primitive desires of every human being.
Uchiha Fugaku caused a great deal of movement, and his fire escape was not only powerful, but also extremely widespread.
Even in the Cloud Ninja Camp more than thirty kilometers away, there seemed to be some faint traces on the ground.
The billowing smoke continued to spread outward, and God knows if Uchiha Fugaku did it on purpose, or if he did it unintentionally.
But his actions not only boosted morale, but also put a lot of pressure on these cloud ninjas.
In the tent in the center of the camp, the four generations of Thunder Shadow were discussing some matters with their subordinates, and Kirabi was bored thinking about his rap.
But at this moment, a ninja suddenly rushed in and knelt down and said, "Lord Thunder Shadow, there is a sudden fire in front of the Konoha stronghold, according to the investigation, it should be caused by the fire escape."
And according to the ninja report of the perception class, the person leading the team seems to be Uchiha Fugaku, our raid force.....
And because the distance is too far, the perception team can't be sure how many people he has brought, but the visual inspection must be at least more than two thousand. β
"What?" The fourth generation of Lei Ying was stunned at first when he heard the news, although his face immediately became extremely ugly: "You mean, our raid force has been destroyed?" Who is leading the group? Uchiha Fugaku? How could Konoha send him? β
Sending a hundred Yun ninja to raid that stronghold was originally his intention.
It's just that he didn't expect Konoha to react so quickly, so he sent troops directly over in just a few days.
And by coincidence, it happened to bump into his own raiding force.
It's just that what makes him wonder is how Konoha could send this guy Uchiha Fugaku to the battlefield.
Who is Uchiha Fugaku, as a thunder shadow, he naturally knows that this guy is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
But this guy doesn't have any actual merits, except for commanding troops against Misty Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi, nothing else.
As for the combat record?
This is even less information, after all, the patriarch of a big family, who will let him go to the front line to fight.
But what made him feel unbelievable was that Konoha would actually choose this guy as the command ninja who led the team.
Does this mean that there is no one to use in Konoha now?
Otherwise, why didn't they send powerful ninjas like Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had enough command experience to come?
Although I've gotten the information a long time ago, it seems that none of the guys like Jiraiya and Tsunade are in Konoha.
And Orochimaru even defected to Konoha.
But now that the war has begun, why didn't Konoha summon them back?
The four generations of Thunder Shadow couldn't figure this out anyway, but he seemed to have seen through that Konoha really didn't have many people to use.
"That seems like good news." The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow was difficult to say to himself: "It's really interesting to send such a guy to the front line. β
With a casual wave of his hand, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow asked the half-kneeling intelligence ninja to retreat first.
Then his eyes looked at the map, this guy Uchiha Fugaku, although he couldn't judge what the specific strength was.
But he believes that he can definitely solve this guy.
As for how many ninjas Konoha had sent, he had no way of knowing.
The reinforcement of 2,000 people obviously cannot be all the manpower of Konoha.
But no matter how many people Konoha sent, he planned to try the depths.
Especially, try the depth of this Uchiha clan patriarch.
"Send the order, send a thousand ninjas to follow me tomorrow, and if you want to be fast, you can evacuate at any time."
The fourth generation of Lei Ying thought for a moment, and then he said in an urn: "Let's set off early in the morning to raid the Konoha stronghold, I want to see how strong they are!" β
"Yes! Lord Thunder Shadow! β
.....
Uchiha Fugaku used a super-large area of fire extinguishing it, burning more than sixty cloud ninja to ashes at once.
It seemed like a waste, but he knew very well that he needed to do it.
When it was sent, he already sensed that the mood of this team was not high.
This is very fatal for a state of war, so Uchiha Fugaku can only think of some ways, or do something to boost the morale of his team.
He really didn't expect Yun Ren to cooperate with him so much.
Now it looks like he's doing well, and when he gets back to his team, he finds that the atmosphere is really lively.
Unlike the slightly lifeless atmosphere before I first came, the aura that makes people unable to see the future continue to spread in the team.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Fugaku was also relieved.
He didn't want the team he was leading to be like this before he fought, so what else was there to fight?
Under his leadership, the Konoha ninjas entered the store.
Maybe it's because Uchiha Fugaku's performance is too conspicuous, or because the attacking cloud ninja are very powerful.
They have destroyed the defenses in their stronghold and intend to retreat quickly.
However, once these things are destroyed, it will be completely convenient for the two guys, Uchiha Chuan and Uchiha Liukage.
The two of them quickly rushed into the stronghold, and cooperated with the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold to block, intercept, and kill these cloud ninjas.
When Uchiha Fugaku led the team in, those cloud ninjas had already been basically cleaned up by them.
"Are you alright?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the ninja who was supported in front of him by Uchiha Kawa, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm the commander of Unit 1, Uchiha Fugaku, so tell me about your situation here."
"First Unit? Captain? This Konoha ninja froze when he heard Uchiha Fugaku's words, and then he immediately turned around, and now was not the time for him to be stunned.
"Captain Fugaku, subordinate Hiraga Motota, position in the middle of the ninja. It's this stronghold .... A squad leader, our captain and vice-captain...."
Speaking of which, Hiraga Motota couldn't go on anymore, and Uchiha Fugaku basically understood what he meant.
It seems that his captain and vice-captain are basically sacrificed.
Such a small second-line stronghold is basically used as a granary for the first-line stronghold.
Now whether the first line of defense has contact with Yun Shinobi or not, Uchiha Fugaku is not very clear.
It's just that Yun Shinobi was able to go around their rear and attack this stronghold like this, which made Uchiha Fugaku feel a little big.
"How many Hyuga ninjas are there on your front line?" Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there still a battle with them on the first line of defense?" β
"Captain Fuyue, there has already been a conflict, but we don't know the specific situation."
Hiraga Motota sighed slightly: "Now our large army is about ten kilometers ahead, and Yun Shinobi is thirty kilometers away. As for how many Hinata ninjas there are, I don't know much about that, I'm just a ....."
"I see." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, he didn't mean to blame this ninja, or those ninjas in the first line of defense.
After all, the land of fire is really too flat, and because of the ecological environment, there is plenty of rain here, which is very suitable for planting and economic purposes.
But again, there is a lot of trees here, and the most important thing is that there are no mountains to block it.
As a result, it was easy for the enemy to find an opportunity to quickly break into the Fire Nation using those trees as cover.
That's why Konoha had to place so many ninjas on the border.
These ninjas are not only defending themselves against enemy raids, but also patrolling those who are trying to defend themselves against those who are flowing into the Fire Realm.
On top of that, they must also set up various strongholds that they rely on to inspect and detect these ninjas.
Now because of the war, the Konoha frontline troops have shrunk together, and naturally a lot of gaps have been exposed to Yun Ren.
Those Yun Ren are all strong and strong, and their physical strength is good.
Long-distance raids are probably not difficult for them.
So it's not too hard to understand for them to rush in.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku patted him on the shoulder: "Go down and rest, my subordinates also need to rest, they have wasted a lot of time to come here." If you can, prepare some food and hot water, and we'll have to leave later. β
"No problem, Captain Fugaku." Hiraga Motota immediately nodded and said, "Although our losses are relatively large, relying on defense, the attrition is still within an acceptable range. I immediately arranged for people to make these preparations, but I don't know if Captain Fugaku can ......"
"I'm sorry, I can't leave some people for you." Without waiting for Hiraga Motota to finish speaking, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head directly: "However, it won't be long before another army should arrive." β
"Another force?" Hiraga Motota was originally a little disappointed, but when he heard Uchiha Fugaku's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Captain Fugaku, what do you mean ....."
"Ah, didn't I say that? I'm the captain of the first unit....."
......
