Chapter 24: Escalation of the Fighting
On the whole, the results of the ninja meeting were particularly effective.
Although the strength of the Uchiha clan overshadowed the other ninja clans.
Although the conditions of the Uchiha clan made the village pay more.
Although the Uchiha clan obviously doesn't have enough respect for the Hokage.
……
Although, although, although!
Although many problems are caused by the Uchiha clan, in the case of an emergency situation in the external situation, even the Hokage cannot blame the neurotic clan at this time.
After all, he was still counting on the powerful Uchiha clan to charge into battle.
Even if it was Danzang, after seeing so many shinobi drawn out by the Uchiha clan, he had restrained a lot.
After all, it was too scary for the representatives of the Uchiha clan to take out 49 shinobi in one go at the ninja clan meeting; You must know that before the war, Konoha was only about 280 active shinobi on duty, ...... number of active duty ninjas.
……
The results of the ninja meeting naturally have to be digested well.
In addition to the 20 upper ninjas and 46 middle ninjas assigned to him by the radical faction, Uchiha Tokumitsu also gained command of the police department reserve force and the Uchiha pro-affiliated ninja clan. The two add up to 17 upper ninjas, and there are as many as 110 middle ninjas. Although it is not as elite as the Uchiha ninja army under the direct leadership, it is qualified in terms of strength; It just so happened that Uchiha Tokumitsu was still worried about the lack of the number of shinobi as the backbone, but he didn't expect this to be directly made up.
After gaining command, it is naturally indispensable to integrate training and run in as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness.
As a result, a strong ninja army composed of 37 upper ninjas and 146 middle ninjas frequently entered and exited the village, which frightened the Konoha clans, and the Hokage family was also sideways, and even the spies of various countries lurking in the village couldn't sit still, and they released carrier pigeons, communication eagles, etc. in an attempt to transmit information, but they were unexpectedly eliminated by the police department and the dark department, and were arrested and tortured in prison; It was also a windfall for the village.
And just like that, a month passed.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's joint training has achieved certain results, and the combat cooperation of the ninjas under his command has been greatly improved, and at the same time, through various means, he has also successfully let the ninjas under his command see the authority of his eight-year-old family ninja leader - through the simplest display of strength, that is, one by one.
The mighty Uchiha Tokumitsu, not only made the Hokage family feel jealous, within the family, in the face of this young and powerful junior, even the patriarch's direct forces and conservative forces also felt like a thorn in his back, many clansmen regarded him as the second Uchiha Madara, and the internal voice was also convinced, and there were also disgusted people, but on the whole, there were more and more clansmen who were inclined to radicals; As a result, the patriarch's direct ninja army and the conservative ninja army also began to merge under the mediation of high-level identities, forming the second ninja force of the Uchiha clan, and was led by the patriarch Uchiha Quartet's confidant Uchiha Uchiha Shigenobu, and the patriarch's sister-in-law, Uchiha Fugaku, served as his deputy.
The Uchiha clan is secretly divided, but at this time, the Hokage clan can't care about interfering in the muddy waters, because the war is changing too quickly.
After the border troops stationed in the land of rain defeated the outpost troops of the rain ninja village, they plundered the border city, but what they were waiting for was not the rumored rain ninja army that was doing their best to sharpen their troops, but the puppet troops of the sand hidden village.
After a skirmish, neither Konoha nor Sand Cain took advantage, and as the first batch of ninja coalition troops led by Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade arrived, Sand Cain quickly withdrew from the battle line and withdrew; Before the reinforcements could take a breather, the reorganized Rain Country ninja army had once again taken over the defensive line to confront.
On the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, the Sand Hidden Army no longer hides its whereabouts, and appears everywhere on the border with high frequency and on a large scale.
At this time, the land country and the thunder country ended the border confrontation between the two sides and withdrew their respective border troops, and the ninja army assembled in the confrontation stage between the two sides in the early stage was nowhere to be found, and Konoha's border troops did not dare to rashly reconnoiter across the border, so they had to send a report to ask for support from the village.
And the Hokage Building, the ever-changing situation also makes Konoha F4 dizzy, and almost all the combat readiness deployments made in the early stage have to be overturned and restarted, especially the intelligence in the direction of Thunder and Turkey, which is the top priority.
Inside the Hokage's office, smoke filled as always.
Danzou is reporting on the information he has spied on.
“…… The Sand Hidden Force that appeared in the Rain Country in the middle of the month is currently clearly an elite puppet force commanded by the son of Sand Hide Elder Chiyo, with a size of about 60 people, and the Ministry has withdrawn from the Rain Country, but the specific responsibilities of its crossing into the Rain Country are not yet known; According to the command style and the internal transmission documents obtained, the Sand Hidden Ninja Army that Shuo Mao dealt with may have been commanded by the Sand Hidden Elder Hai Laozang; And as for the Rain Ninja Army, there is currently no movement of its leader, Sanshoyu Hanzo, and no trace of its leader, Sanshoyu Hanzo, has been found in either the troops deployed on the front line or the inside of the Rain Ninja Village......"
A series of unclear and uncertain made the three generations of apes Feiri's brows tighter and tighter.
But he didn't want to blame anything, after all, Sha Yin's actions were too sudden and without warning, and he sent an envoy to inquire and was also rejected by Sha Yin, but judging from the current dynamics, a big war is inevitable.
Miyome sighed slightly.
It was in front of a few old friends that he dared to show such fatigue.
"What about the land of thunder and the land of earth?"
Mito Menyan on the side saw that the three generations of apes were closed and silent, so he continued to ask.
"The dynamics of the Land of Thunder are not clear for the time being, but the Land Country has strengthened its garrison troops on the border of the Land of Rain, and it is currently known that a Rock Hidden Demolition Force has been dispatched to the border of the Land of Rain."
"What a tacit understanding, do you plan to use the Land of Rain as a battlefield?"
Zhuan Xiaochun sighed.
"Hanzo's expansion went too far, and not only the small countries around him suffered, but even the Iron Country, which was a neutral country, was invaded by him. In particular, the Rain Ninja Army has also entered the small vassal states of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth......"
The three generations who closed their eyes and recuperated said slowly.
In the final analysis, the fuse of this war is still the rain ninja village of the country of rain who is not willing to accept the status quo, especially his leader is still the talented Sanshoyu Hanzo who has the title of "demigod".
The land of the country of rain is surrounded by the three major countries of fire, earth and wind and their vassal small countries, and has been suppressed and exploited for a long time, especially in its domestic rain, agricultural development is suffering, and it has always relied on handmade products to exchange with the outside world to purchase food, but it is jointly suppressed and exploited by the three major countries of fire, earth and wind, and the dissatisfaction accumulated within the country of rain is also getting stronger and stronger. The three major countries of the wind.
But what makes the three generations unpredictable is that after the rain ninja village usurped the resources of the Iron Country, a border conflict broke out with the Sand Hidden Village, and was suppressed by the sand and hidden; Then he took the initiative to provoke a conflict with Konoha.,After Konoha invaded the border of the country of rain, suddenly there were sand hidden puppet troops to come to test.,Soon the rain ninja village sent a ninja army to confront it.,Sand hide took the initiative to retreat.,What's going on with this cooperation in the middle? And what kind of pills are sold in Shayin's gourd? Why are heavy troops also deployed on the Konoha border?
In the case of insufficient intelligence, Rao is a scheming three-generation ape flying to the sun, and it is also tricky.
"Humph!"
Tuan Zang snorted coldly, "Hanzo, that old man with a snorkel, is also beyond his means, so reckless, comparable to Uchiha, is definitely self-defeating!" ”
From the heart, when there are no outsiders, he still does not hide his malice and suspicion towards the Uchiha as always.
"Don't be an an's starvation, follow the example of the praying mantis...... "Zhuan Xiaochun sighed as if he was compassionate, "Just for the selfishness of Hanzo and the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, he started a war, and in this way, the people of the Land of Rain suffered." ”
These words made the three of them, who were old friends, feel very uncomfortable.
That's not how a cat cries a mouse.
Mito Menyan muttered in his heart.
"When will the second batch of reinforcements from the Land of Rain depart?" Ignoring the pretense of Koharu, the third generation asked Mito Menyan.
"The day after tomorrow."
"Okay, Tuan Zang, this part of the ninja army will be handed over to you to take charge."
"Hello!"
With the power of commanding the army in hand, Danzou didn't mind showing his respect for the Hokage.
"What about the defense of the land country?" Mito Menyan asked again.
“…… Recruit the Uchiha ninja army to come over. The third generation frowned and thought for a moment, "Just let that Deguang child lead his people over, I remember that there are forty or fifty Shangnin." ”
At this point, the trio has no objections, recently the ninja army led by the Uchiha Deguang has made all kinds of big noises in the training ground, and the gathering of the Uchiha has also made them tense their nerves at all times and dare not relax, for fear that the unadjusted Uchiha neuropaths will come to the dark when they will come to a 'next gram'.
"It's okay to throw it out, after all, it's the land of the earth, and it can be regarded as the intention of such a bloody madman." Mito Menitis was the first to express his support.
"If only Uchiha is sent to the border, should the commander of the border force of the land country be replaced? The Mumu Gong Knife may not be able to suppress these crazy people. "Koharu raised the question from another dimension.
“…… Mobilize the Kime Gong Sword to go to the border of the Land of Earth to cooperate with Shuomao Shangnin, and the original garrison troops stayed. Miyome took a puff of his pipe," the commander ...... Isn't the leader of the Uchiha Ninja Army's bright face the captain of the guard Uchiha Fire Gate of the old man, let him be the commander of the border forces of the land country. ”
The scheming three generations not only plan to let the Uchiha ninja army go to fill the pit of the land of earth, but also plan to toss and disgust the Uchiha Tokumitsu in terms of strategy.
"Danzang, what is your opinion?" Knowing that Tuan Zang has always been full of malice towards the Uchiha clan, the three generations specially asked again.
"No comment." Tuan Zang had just taken command of a ninja army, and he had no intention of arguing more, "It's best to let them die with the granite heads of Iwakure, that's a great joy!" ”
The three generations of Muquan didn't hear Tuanzang's words, and continued to order, "Then execute it accordingly and give the order!" ”
"Hello!" ×3
……
On the other side, Uchiha Tokumitsu is wantonly wielding the unique charm of the Uchiha clan in the training ground.
He stood alone at one end of the training ground, using various fire escape ninjutsu to steadily suppress the joint efforts of the three Uchiha upper ninjas.
Clusters of flames set off blazing sparks, and the sound of explosions was unnoticed, and the three upper shinobi who fought against each other struggled to defend themselves under the fierce ninjutsu attacks with their unmastered earth and water escapes.
They had never tried such a humiliating battle.
Uchiha's battles are generally very artistic, suppressing them at the beginning of the powerful fire escape, forcing the enemy with their godlike ninja techniques, and slashing the enemy in one fell swoop with his writing wheel eye illusion and superb physical skills when he bullied the front melee.
When did the Uchiha clan actually have a ninjutsu fort that looks like a thousand hands!
"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"
When the three of them were overwhelmed, a sea of fire erupted from Uchiha Tokumitsu's mouth and drowned towards the three of them.
"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall!" ×3
The three of them were at a time when the old power had exhausted its new power and had not yet been born, so they had to barely resist it with the earth escape, preparing to use the instantaneous body technique to escape.
"Water Escape: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Seeing the situation, the Uchiha Fire Gate, who was watching the battle, hurriedly used a water escape to hit the Uchiha Tokumitsu's fire escape ninjutsu, intending to weaken the power of the fire escape so as not to cause major damage.
"Boom!"
The fusion of water and fire, ninjutsu nirvana produced a fierce explosion, stirring up a huge shock wave, the corners of the clothes of the spectators have been lifted, the bombardment, although the water dragon bullet is not as good as the fire extinguished, but also weakened part of the power of the fire extinguished, the power of the fire escape in the three hurriedly used the earth escape earth flow wall has been like the end of a strong crossbow, was easily dodged by the three people.
"Don't fight, don't fight!" After dodging, the three hurriedly waved their hands and surrendered.
"Deguang Shaojun's strength is unparalleled, I'm convinced!"
The Uchiha present stared at the battle on the field one by one with their eyes open, and they were shocked by the Uchiha Tokumitsu's profound fire retreat cultivation and the extremely large amount of chakra compared to his age.
Even if it is a profound illusion technique that can only be achieved by relying on time polishing, under the huge pupil power and spiritual power of Uchiha Tokumitsu, it will do nothing.
After being surprised, I was convinced.
Chasing power, chasing the strong, this is the pursuit of the Uchiha clan from the bloodline.
Even the outliers of the Uchiha family, the conservative Uchiha Muggles who have been deeply eroded by the so-called will of fire and are unaware of it, are also tirelessly pursuing greater power.
And the Uchiha who can be sent to Uchiha Tokumitsu by the Elder of the Moment are all extremists in the radical faction of the Uchiha, with arrogant and conceited personalities, the most admired for power, and have a faith-like fascination with the power of their own bloodline.
When Uchiha Tokumitsu showed his superior strength, they forgot the difference in age, forgot each other's generation, forgot the existence of the patriarch and elder, and bowed their proud heads to the feet of Uchiha Tokumitsu under the throbbing and guidance of the writing wheel.
And the ninjas who are attached to the ninja clan, whether they are upper ninjas or middle ninjas, are all impressed by this catastrophic fire escape, and they kneel down on one knee one by one to show their respect.
Just like during the Warring States period, they worshiped the ancestors of Madara Uchiha.
