Perhaps it was as a girl, disguised as a male to sit on the throne, that the difficulties along the way made Artoria a very strong person.

Or perhaps, it was her instinctive failure to resist as a king.

But there is no doubt that she has great confidence and arrogance in her abilities.

Like Itachi, it is extremely difficult for her to easily admit her shortcomings in front of others.

At least, in the years since she realized it, she has admitted her failures in front of Itachi only a handful of times.

This is very different from myself who has already lost hundreds of times in the mental battle space.

Itachi knew her character, but he seriously dissuaded and advised her.

As for Itachi's words, Artoria originally became serious, and wanted to open her mouth to refute the words, but she paused.

Her turquoise eyes looked straight at the ferret, and for a long time, she nodded helplessly.

"Okay, if I'm not sure after the actual fight, I'll tell you, and I won't force myself."

Artoria was still able to distinguish the difference between distrust and concern.

They didn't linger too much in the spirit world, and after a brief end of a battle, they each rested on a tree branch.

After all, this is a march, not a free time at your disposal, as before.

……

……

"Patriarch, Commander Qingmen, like Commander Zhishui, is hesitant about the route of our march."

"Along the way, we've encountered fewer and fewer enemies, and we've barely encountered tricky Cloud Hidden Ninjas."

"He suggested that we stay where we are and wait for Konoha to make some gains, and then take the opportunity to infiltrate the Land of Thunder."

After a few more days on the march, Uchiha Aomon was also like stopping the water, and he was worried about the calm and calm along the way, and made suggestions in his daily report.

"Got it."

Itachi replied calmly.

As the core, he doesn't need to patrol and intercept like everyone else, he only needs to travel regularly every day, listen to everyone's reports, and make decisions.

……

"The patriarch, captain Yaowei said that he hadn't met Yun Yin's ninja in the past few days, and something was wrong."

It's been a few more days, and the Uchiha medicine smell has also issued a warning.

"Got it, do a good job of vigilance and investigation."

Itachi replied calmly again.

And this time, as he got closer and closer to the Land of Thunder, his reply went from simply knowing to the situation around him.

……

After that, for several days, the Uchiha's team did not encounter any ninjas stationed in the outer areas of the Snow Country.

In the snowy field, only the Uchiha team was marching.

They had never seen the inhabitants or villages of the Snow Country, let alone the ninjas of the Land of Thunder.

It's as if they all already know that there is a team belonging to the Land of Fire that is sweeping the territory of the Land of Snow against the ninjas of their Land of Thunder.

In this regard, Uchiha Maji, Uchiha Inau, and Uchiha Yashiro ...... and the captains of each squad all gave the above warnings.

But again, they were not notified of the change of route.

And this is a sign that this patriarch of theirs is very confident.

Almost didn't care about the possible traps laid by the clouds.

And in fact, Itachi is well aware.

From the time they couldn't meet the ninja of Yunyin, they may have stepped into Yunyin's trap.

But so what?

Since Yun Yin has put on a posture and cleared the way for them to enter the Land of Thunder, then he will take the Uchiha's team to follow the other party's wishes!

Rumble!

In the early morning, there was no bright sunlight.

Overcast clouds obscure the skies of the Snow Country, and at the same time, snowflakes fall from the sky.

And it was accompanied by an extremely rare thunderclap.

It's not like thunder on a snowy day, but this kind of climate is rare.

"It's coming......"

Inexplicably, the weasel who had just woken up from his false sleep and was about to start hurrying muttered.

At the same time, he warned the nearby clansmen and motioned for them to pass on the information.

Not long after the nearby Uchiha people passed on Itachi's information, before the team officially started to hurry, a black lightning bolt of indescribable width crackled down from the clouds in the sky!

It's so fast that it's hard to catch with the naked eye!

It was like a dragon falling from the sky, mooing and roaring as it crashed into the ground!

Airplanes!

Centered on the area where the ferrets were standing, the thick layer of snow collapsed in an instant.

Underneath it, the ground was even more like a wound because it couldn't withstand the huge force.

And Itachi and Artoria, who were originally standing in the range of lightning bombardment, had already made dodging moves the moment the brontosaurus emerged from the sky.

At the same time, the dense cloud hidden ninjas who had long been hidden in the extreme distance gathered one by one at a very fast speed, from all directions, approaching the Uchiha's team, and in a large circle, completely including the Uchiha's team!

It was as if they had been well prepared in the morning, and the moment the lightning landed, they took action!

"Patriarch, there are a large number of cloud-hidden ninjas in the north."

"Patriarch, there are countless Cloud Hidden Ninjas in the south surrounding this side."

"Patriarch ......"

A succession of different reports rang in Itachi's ears.

Along with it, there are all kinds of chaotic rushing sounds.

They were surrounded.

Rightfully surrounded.

It was like an ignorant fawn, lured by corn kernels, and little by little stepped into the trap laid by the hunter.

And when the trap made a 'sonorous' sound, the hunters couldn't wait to gather around from all directions, trying to divide the struggling fawn.

However, it is not necessarily only the prey that will be caught in the trap.

It may also be a more high-end hunter who will be counted.

"Each team rushed and killed according to the previous rehearsal and cooperation."

Faced with the sound of ninja tools colliding and the roar of magic techniques coming from all directions, Itachi ignored it and calmly instructed, "You have only one task, and that is to kill any enemy in front of you. ”

"No matter what kind of person the other party is, gender, age, or even ninja level, you just need to cooperate with your companions and kill them all without leaving them alive."

"In the end, I hope that you can live and become the great men of the Uchiha textbooks, not the heroic souls."

At the same time, his body under the black armor also began to make a surging sound like a rolling river.

Then, the phantom of a spear emerged from the hand of the ferret, and then slowly solidified the image.

"Yes!"

In the shadows, the clansmen responsible for delivering the message quickly received the order and ran in all directions.

At the same time, they carried the news through the crowd in the Uchiha's own way.

"Looks ...... Yun Yin has made a bloody investment this time. ”

With the scarlet three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes open, Itachi calmly looked at the black clouds that were getting closer and closer in the distance, and communicated with Artoria in white armor next to him in a heartfelt voice, "With such a huge force, maybe it has to be drawn from the main battlefield, right?" ”

"However, it just made me familiar with the difference between familiar psychological warfare and reality."

"This should be me...... It's the first time you've really faced the war, right? ”
