Chapter Thirty-Six: One Nation and One Country
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood on a hill three kilometers away from the Iwakushi camp, looking at the Iwakushi camp in front of him.
Although the distance is relatively far, the vision bonus obtained after opening the writing wheel eye is not as good as the white eye, but the figure of the Iwakuin ninja with a lot of shadows in the distance can still be seen.
Akido did not release the pigeons, and just yesterday, nine pigs, deer and butterflies combined ninjas came to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force with a Konoha order to report, and then were immediately assigned by the Uchiha Fire Gate to the front line ninja army where Uchiha Tokumitsu was.
The ninjas of the Yamanaka clan were also very neat, and according to the orders of Uchiha Tokumitsu, they forcibly used spirit to invade the captives' brains, and after creating three patients with cerebral palsy and dementia, they successfully obtained the information they needed.
- This Iwakuin is just a second-line force of Iwakuin!
The truly elite Iwakuin, one confronts Yunyin in the west of the Land Country, and the other secretly lurks in the area of the Land of Rain to prepare to attack the Rain Ninja Village.
Therefore, in this case, whether to continue to attack the Iwain Army has become a tricky choice.
The reason is very simple, the camp of the Iwakushi ninja army is still in the territory of the land country.
Large-scale ninja cross-border battles and elite squad raids are different.
As long as the raid is ensured that no one is left alive or that the operatives are not captured, it is a normal ninja village conflict; However, if he leads hundreds or thousands of Konoha ninjas into the territory of the land to attack the camp of his ninja army, then regardless of the success or failure of the attack, the land country and Iwakuin Village must regard it as a war of aggression and fight back; This is a red line that cannot be crossed.
And for ninjas, waging war is the power of Kage and Daimyo; Instigating war without permission is not as simple as flouting the authority of the Hokage.
Among the three newly transferred squads of the pig deer butterfly group, there is a Nara clan who is regarded as a think tank by the members of the three clan combination team, and Nara Shikpei analyzed.
In this regard, Uchiha Tokumitsu also felt helpless.
If it was an ordinary thing, he might not take the Hokage seriously, but he still had to be cautious when it came to the national war.
After all, there are only a thousand ninja troops under his command, and most of them are Uchiha people, although it is not a big problem to defeat the Iwakure in front of him according to the strength comparison of intelligence, but a large-scale attack on the broken camp is a serious national war behavior, which is beyond the scope of the authority of the commander of the border force.
Uchiha Tokumitsu still felt unwilling.
According to the probing and sabotage operations in the past few days, coupled with the comprehensive analysis of intelligence, there is no doubt that the Iwakuin Ninja Army in front of them is indeed a fish-belly force.
A good piece of fish belly is placed in front of you, but you still have to look at the person's eyes to determine whether to start eating, which is too uncomfortable for hungry cats.
The same is true for the Uchiha clan who are cat slaves per capita.
The Uchiha ninjas who accompanied the army found Uchiha Tokumitsu many times, patted their chests and asked to fight, willing to be the first to enter the enemy formation, and teach Iwakure a profound lesson with swords, ninjutsu, and writing wheels.
The Uchiha Tokumitsu rejected them all.
Ordinary Uchiha can be without political minds, but he can't do without him as the heir to the radical faction.
Ninja Clash on the Frontier and Ninja Invasion Operations are two very different concepts.
However, although he did not approve the direct order of the ninja army to launch an attack on the Iwakuin camp in the territory of the land of the earth, it did not prevent him from continuing to launch a sabotage war to strangle the secret sentinels and communication ninjas of Iwakure.
And he himself came directly to the Rock Hidden Formation, and he had the idea of luring the enemy to pursue.
However, Iwakuin directly became a shrunken turtle, and directly used the earth escape to create a lot of high walls, once the Uchiha Tokumitsu showed signs of approaching, he used earth bombs, earth thorns and other low-level ninjutsu to interfere, and used the earth wall technique to destroy the terrain to obstruct the siege, and they were all a large group of ninjas to defend together, so that the Uchiha Tokumitsu and a cadre of Uchiha ninjas could not seize the opportunity to attack.
"Let's go back......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and said to the entourage Shinobu beside him.
Facing the iron-clad turtle-like Iwakuin, he couldn't find a chance to break the attack and strangle, so it was pointless to wait.
The Uchiha ninjas have no other way, after all, they are facing a ninja army of the five major powers, even if it is just a fish belly army, in the absence of a large-scale ninja army to adopt a combined ninjutsu attack, it is by no means something that a few upper ninjas can shake.
"Hasn't the village replied?" Toshiki Hinata, who was unwilling, asked.
The great work is in front of it, but you can't see it, but you can't eat it.,Rao is a Hyuga ninja who is known for his aristocratic demeanor and weak temperament.,It's also a little impatient.。
"Not ...... yet"
"Humph! The bureaucrats of the village are so ridiculous that such important information has not been decided! As a guard class, Shinobu Uchiha Kensuke complained with some annoyance.
The others also acted as if they hadn't heard it, and for the Uchiha, the number of falling Hokage was just a daily routine, and he couldn't avoid people.
"It's just that I don't know if Iwakuin will send reinforcements, if the intelligence is timely, I can still try to surround the point and send reinforcements." Although Uchiha Tokumitsu also felt depressed, but there was no way, it was never his choice to push the Iwakuin camp, and all the Uchiha ninjas in the ninja army were his heart, but he was reluctant to waste his lives to storm the heavily guarded camp.
"Iwakure is known for holding out......" Yukihei Nara pondered the wording, "Generally speaking, based on past experience, it is not cost-effective to storm the Iwakure position without a numerical advantage of more than twice the number......
Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally knew that Iwakure was good at guarding, and the discipline of ninjas was the best among the five ninja villages, and in the future, three generations of Thunder Shadow would be killed by numbers.
"I naturally know this......" Uchiha Tokumitsu, of course, will not be impulsive, "It's just that I didn't have a chance to fight with Iwakure, which is somewhat of a pity." ”
"If you can draw out Iwakure, that's going to be easy......"
A group of Uchiha ninjas thought it was true, and they didn't have an iron-headed baby in the past few days when they saw that Iwahi couldn't come out, so they intended to infiltrate the Iwahi camp to create chaos, but before they could get close to the camp, they were confused by a large number of earth escape ninjutsu, so they had to retreat.
"Forget it, don't dwell on it, after all, the life of the Konoha ninja is much more valuable than Iwakure, and it can't be so plainly damaged." Uchiha Tokumitsu also knew that he could not do anything, so he spoke to comfort everyone.
As soon as they did it, they all nodded yes.
……
Just when Uchiha Tokumitsu had a headache for the Iwakure turtle shell, the Hokage Building in Konoha was already arguing over the battle reports sent back from the front line.
"Arrogance! The Uchiha is too unscrupulous! Mito Gate was furious, "Dare to ignore the edict and cross the border to attack Iwakushi without authorization, isn't he afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?" ”
Mito Menyan's power encompassed diplomacy with other shinobi villages, and in his eyes, Uchiha Tokumitsu's actions were a deliberate attempt to provoke war.
"Yes, Ri Slash, you must punish this kid this time this time!" "The Uchiha clan are all unreasonable war madmen, and the consequences of their instigation of war are extremely bad! ”
"How to discipline? Punish him for winning Iwakure? "The third generation of apes Fei Ri didn't lift his head," or punish him for purging the underground forces of the entire territory of the Grass Country after obtaining the permission of the Daimyo of the Grass Country? ”
"Richo, you can't favor him!" Mito Menyan said dissatisfiedly, "Uchiha Tokumitsu sent ninjas to ambush and strangle Iwakushi ninjas in the territory of Tsuchino Country, if Onoki rises up and causes the two ninja villages to declare war, then I don't know how many ninjas the village will lose!" ”
"And he ignored the edict." "The purpose of the act of inciting war is to drag the village into the quagmire of war, and this wanton behavior must be severely punished!" ”
The three generations were also a little speechless.
"Have you forgotten? The first edict had been refuted by the fire gate's exercise of the right of upper ninja to object. ”
"Humph! The Uchiha clan is uninhabited! "Turning to bed, Koharu is still angry.
“…… All right! I can't get angry with the Uchiha! The three generations sighed helplessly, Tuan Zang was not there, why did these two advisors become so aggressive.
"The point is, is Iwakuin fighting or peace? It's time to come up with a solution. ”
"Most of the village's mobile forces have been drained, and if there is a war with Iwakure, the ninja army must be regrouped." Zhuan Koharu frowned, a little worried, "In addition, I have to recruit family ninjas to participate in the war, which is another huge amount of money......"
"Financial problems...... As the Hokage, the three generations are also worried about money.
As the saying goes, a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold.
The same applies to the ninja army.
From the assembly of the ninja army, the supply of ninja equipment, the procurement of medicines and treatment, etc., all require a lot of capital investment.
"Yan, if you have time, can you go to the capital again to meet the daimyo and ask him to allocate more funds." After thinking about it, you still have to pay a lot of money to explode gold coins.
"Okay." Mito Menyan nodded calmly.
"So...... Back to business. The three generations looked around at the two of them," Iwakure ...... Is it war or peace? ”
"Let the Uchiha withdraw." After calming down, Koharu thought for a while, "Even if the border troops of Iwakure are defeated, the village is not capable of continuing to send more ninja troops to support and expand the results of the battle, so it is better to withdraw directly, so as not to reduce the number of ninja troops in the formation." ”
The three generations and Mito Menyan also felt that it was the only way to do it.
"In addition, Homon also asked for the transfer of the ninja army to carry out a so-called 'strategic counterattack' against Iwakure, and sent back a list of material requirements." The third generation handed the information to Mito Menyan.
"So many requests from the Uchiha?" Mito Menyan looked at the list of required supplies and suddenly felt a pain in his head.
"The ninja army can't be sent anymore, just make it clear to him to stick to the country of grass." Koharu continued, "At least the material requirements, after getting the daimyo's appropriation, let's talk about the material matter." ”
"Indeed, the situation in the direction of the Land of Rain is the most dangerous." Mito Menyan agreed with Koharu's words, "Iwakure's border guards are just Iwakure's smoke bombs, not just Iwakure, even the ace puppet troops of Shagakure have appeared on a large scale in the Land of Rain, and the war over there is even more important, and you can't lose it because of a small one." ”
"In that case, let's reply and order Uchiha Tokumitsu to withdraw his troops and retreat to the territory of the Grass Country." The three generations thought for a moment, and they also felt that the battlefield of the Land of Rain was more important.
“…… Deguang Xiao'er, at a young age, he can lead the ninja army to defeat Iwain, it is indeed better to look down. Mito Menyan sighed a little.
"One clan and one country ......" the three generations picked up the battle report of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, "Uchiha ...... It's quite ancient. ”
The two advisers were silent.
Except for the Warring States Period, since the establishment of the five major ninja villages, there has never been an example of leading a ninja army to fight at such an age.
"And ...... Madara Uchiha's style when he was young...... It's really like that. ”
