Chapter 35 Less Bullies More

Husband war, courage also!

From the famous article "Cao Di's Polemic" in "Zuo Chuan", a few sentences exhaust the essence of the victory of the soldiers.

Courage is the foundation of warfare.

Whether it is the ancient Chinese dynasties, or the Taixi states, or the nomads who rose and fell in the grasslands, the courage of war has always been the confidence for their rise.

The same is true for the ninja world. Whether it's a samurai or a ninja.

The battle of the mountain castle in the north of the country of grass led by Uchiha Tokumitsu was to gather a large number of cores through intelligence superiority in the case of the disadvantage of total troops, and mobilize the ninja army to destroy the advance force of the Iwakuin ninja army in a short period of time, so that the Iwakure ninja army in the south was settled outside the country of grass, so as to successfully achieve the strategic goal he needed.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

At present, Iwakuin is in the stage of "declining again", more than 200 advance team ninjas were wiped out, and for a time Iwakuin was greatly shocked, and the ninja army that did not enter the country also stopped outside the northern border, while asking Iwakuin Village for 'tactical guidance' while building fortifications, with a plan to defend it for a long time.

And the ninja army commanded by Uchiha Tokumitsu is all high-spirited and full of fighting spirit; Including the grass ninjas who were slave in front of the ninjas of the big countries in the past, after successfully exterminating several underground forces under the leadership of the Uchiha, the cunning and viciousness in their temperament has faded a lot, and the fierce and daring spirit has also increased.

Uchiha Tokumitsu led this alliance of Konoha Uchiha elite + grass ninja rabble, with a crowd of thousands of people, set up a position on the northern border of the country of grass, and confronted more than 2,800 ninjas in Iwakure.

The ninja's combat style dictates that they rarely engage in large-scale battles.

Non-stop squad probing, infiltrating, rushing, assassinating, strangulation...... That's the main theme of the Ninja Wars.

After all, the ninjas' methods of fighting the enemy are mostly based on individual raids, even if they are united by the will of the stone and combine ninjutsu with large-scale earth escape, their ninjas' favorite is the squad-based fighting melee.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's strategy is as simple and direct as ever, that is, to build fortifications and set traps in this formation, first build a hard village in order to confront Iwakure for a long time, and then transfer the upper ninja to form an elite squad and infiltrate the Iwakushi defense area of the land country to carry out a surprise strangulation operation, consuming the living force of the Iwakure ninja army.

The basis of this combat strategy is based on the fact that among the more than 1,000 ninja troops led by Uchiha Tokumitsu, the number of upper ninjas is as high as 51, which is significantly more than the 39 members of the Iwakushi ninja army, and the grass ninjas are generally of poor quality.

The effect of strangulation behind enemy lines is still quite significant.

Uchiha Tokumitsu sent a total of 17 squads in seven days to infiltrate the vicinity of the Tsuchino Kuni camp or the material transportation and supply lines to break the battle, and achieved a total of 89 ninjas of the middle ninja level and above.

At this time, even if he was under the command of the Iwakushi Ninja Army, who was ordered by the Tsuchikage to hold on to the control of the border, the older generation of Iwakuin ninja Tsuchijo Shinobi was a little unable to sit still.

His own family knows his own affairs, and Tutiao naturally knows what the quality of the southbound ninja army under his command is. Even the advance force can be easily wiped out by the ninja army led by Uchiha Tokumitsu, which shows that this ninja army is really average.

But this can't be helped, the main force of Iwakuin has been instructed by the Daimyo of the Land of the Earth, and has been mobilized by the Tsuchikage Onoki to sneak into the direction of the Land of Rain, intending to encircle and suppress the rain ninjas led by Sanshoyu Hanzo, and the ninja army sent in the direction of the country of grass, although it is as high as more than 3,000 people, but it is a smoke bomb that hides people's ears, and the strength of the ninjas who naturally belong to it is relatively average, not to mention the Rock Hidden trump card of the demolition force, there are not even a few well-known ninjas who are serious, and the command of the ninja in the grassroots team is mostly mediocre, in this case, Fighting against the famous Uchiha clan, he really has no bottom in his heart.

"Damn Uchiha, are they trying to provoke a ninja war!"

Holding the latest battle damage report in his hand, the head of the ninja army on the Iwakuin Rain Country side trembled with anger.

Chill the breath! Why is it always him who gets hurt!

As an old antique that has survived from the Warring States Period, the strength of the ninja on the soil is naturally not weak, but in the end, he is old, and his strength has declined a lot compared to the strong era, and he is also used to the pampered style of ninja in the village, and the meaning of fighting for his life is also weak.

"Fifty Kamishinobi, nearly thirty of them Uchiha Sangotama Kaminin......"

Looking at the information compiled by the Iwakuin Shadows, Tsuchijo couldn't help but let out a wail.

Among the ordinary ninjas, although Iwakure is not an elite, but Tojo also has the confidence to have a relationship with Konoha, but in the ninja army opposite, the proportion of ninja ninjas is too high, and it is a well-known and wealthy ninja like Uchiha.

He really couldn't muster the courage to fight back on a large scale, for fear that the true strength of his subordinates would be known during the battle, which would lead to a large-scale attack by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

On the other hand, Uchiha Tokumitsu, he still continuously sent the elite team of the upper ninja to constantly attack the rear of Iwakure, striving for the supply line of Iwakure, and trying to effectively strike at the living force of the Iwakure ninja army as much as possible.

Although on the Konoha side, the elite team composed of the upper ninja frequently succeeded, Uchiha Tokumitsu was quite proud in his heart, and at the same time felt that there must be something strange in it, maybe Iwakure was brewing some poisonous plan to try to defeat the Konoha ninja.

In this way, the border war situation in the north of the country of grass is gradually heating up in the mutual temptation and fighting between the two sides with the same rat trap and based on the squad system.

……

"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was pinching Yinyin, puffed out his mouth and spat out a sea of fire and drowned the unprepared Iwakushi patrol troops.

The mighty sea of fire engulfed the five Iwakushi in one fell swoop, and they only had time to let out a doomsday wail to return to the Pure Land, and the other eight Iwakure were quickly killed by the combined strangulation of the Uchiha Shinobi.

"Abnormal ......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned, looking at the Iwakure patrol in front of him who was easily surrounded and annihilated by his team, more than a dozen Iwakure's corpses were scattered on the ground, at this time, his heart always felt inappropriate, and he felt that some conspiracy was enveloping him.

"It's not normal......

Toshiki Hinata, who accompanied him, also felt so.

It's so easy.

Although it was only a patrol force, the process of annihilating this rock hidden was too easy. And Iwakuin didn't have the slightest intention of sending a large group of men and horses to fight back.

Although the Uchiha Tokumitsu led the reconnaissance operations behind enemy lines with an elite team composed of 8 shinobi, it was not enough to wipe out several Iwakure troops in a row, and Iwakure's garrison camp still did not move.

"If Iwakuin has this combat power, then how can he stand tall and be called the five great ninja villages with Konoha and Konoha."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little irritable.

"Jun Shu-kun, can you observe the situation in the Iwain camp?"

"Not yet, it's still too far away......"

At this time, an Uchiha Shinobi took out a map from his ninja bag, and after some comparison, he found his location.

"Lord Tokumitsu, our current location should be about five kilometers away from the Iwain Camp......

Five kilometers, for a ninja, is not too far. The movement of ninjutsu is so big, there is no reason why Iwakure should not know the attack information here.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took the map and looked at it, his brow furrowed even tighter.

“…… So are we going to move on to scouting? Hinata asked a little timidly.

"Forget it...... Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, "there's no need to risk burrowing into Iwakure's trap. ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked in the direction of the Iwakure Battalion, and he clearly felt that a sentient ninja was using a secret technique to spy on the situation here, but he did not have the means to counteract the sentient ninjutsu.

Maybe...... Iwakure deliberately threw cannon fodder to test the Uchiha's intelligence.

Uchiha Tokumitsu felt as if he had found some clues.

"It's good ......"

Rao is a heartless, hot-blooded Uchiha also felt a little strange at this time, and was surprised by Iwain's style.

"When will the Pig Deer Butterfly Ninja who took the wind mentioned by Shinobi arrive?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu pins his hopes on the "pig" in the combination of pigs, deer and butterflies, the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan.

Hopefully, they can use secret techniques from the corpse of Iwain in the cold storage to spy on the memory information in the deceased's mind.

"I'll arrive at noon the day after tomorrow." Uchiha Kamishinobi, the liaison clerk, said.

"Alright then, keep the corpses, and when they arrive, they will hand them over to the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan to spy on their memories, and then get the strategic layout of Iwakure."

……

At this time, in the Iwakure camp, the head of the Iwakuin ninja army was staring at the direction where Uchiha Tokumitsu was and gritting his teeth.

As an expatriate ninja army, there is naturally no shortage of sentient ninjas, Uchiha led his troops directly into the camp five kilometers away to hunt and kill patrol troops, but as a commander, he was unable to deal with it and calm the turmoil.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of ninja combat effectiveness.

The ninja army he led is indeed composed of mediocre ninjas in the village, and its combat effectiveness is indeed average, but Uchiha Tokumitsu must not be allowed to know the inside story, otherwise once the Konoha ninja army is on a whim and commands the ninja army to force it to pounce, then the end of the Iwakure ninja army under his command will not be good.

"Tsuchijo-sama, Uchiha evacuated ......"

The Perception Ninja reports the results of the perception with a trill.

As a perceptual ninja with average strength but a keen sense of the five senses, he felt that the young man with the strongest chakra reaction in the distance had clearly spotted his prying eyes, and he looked in the direction he was for a long time. Frightened, his liver trembled.

"Send out the personnel and clean up the battlefield......"

As a veteran shinobi who has survived from the Warring States period to the present, Tsuchijo suddenly finds himself really old.

was actually knocked on the door by a junior, but he couldn't do anything but stand by and watch his subordinates being killed.

What a wreck!

"Wait for them to go away, and then go......"

The back of the soil strip is even more rickety.
