Chapter Forty-Eight: A Big Fish Has Been Caught
Qimu Shuomao led his subordinates to set off overnight.
Uchiha Tokumitsu stayed for an extra day, and acted in a play with the shadow clone left by Sakumo Hagi before returning to the camp to check the personnel.
Uchiha Homon euphemistically expressed concern about Uchiha Tokumitsu's initiative to participate in the battle, and put forward a suggestion to strengthen the ninjas accompanying the team, and Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally followed the kindness and fully accepted the kind advice of his elders.
As a result, Uchiha Tokumitsu strengthened the original 30 upper ninjas and 60 middle ninjas to 33 upper ninjas and 69 middle ninjas. In addition to the Uchiha ninja, the white-eyed team led by Toshiki Hinata was also transferred, and two additional medical teams were assigned.
After the personnel of the ninja army were ready, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent the personnel of each department separately in the name of the mission, and after meeting at the agreed place, taking advantage of the cover of night, a group of ninja troops quietly lurked on the border of Takino Country.
Ninja is a very patient profession.
In particular, it is common for sleeper operations or assassination operations to remain motionless in a preset location for days and nights, without eating, speaking, or sleeping.
However, Uchiha Tokumitsu is good to lurk in the border area, at least there is a cave to squat, and there is a stupid, fierce and cute ninja dog to relieve his boredom.
The process of waiting for information was boring, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu was bored with condensing the Yan Dun Chakra in the palm of his hand, changing various forms with his mind, and the other hand ruthlessly ravaged the ninja dog Pasha.
The ninja dog Pasha accepted Uchiha Tokumitsu's 'caresses' without saying a word, not because it had no temper and no character, but because the chakra condensed in Uchiha Tokumitsu's hand was too scary for dogs, so it couldn't help it.
Suddenly, Pasha, the ninja dog, stiffened.
"Huh!"
Feeling that something was suddenly wrong, Uchiha Tokumitsu looked down at the ninja dog, "What's wrong?" Did Sakumo Kamishinobu have a letter? β
"Yes, Tokumitsu-sama." Pasha the ninja dog nodded repeatedly, "May I get up and greet the messenger?" β
"Oh." Uchiha Tokumitsu took away his hand that was rubbing his body on the ninja dog.
The ninja dog straightened up, spat out a small scroll from its mouth, spread it out, and pressed it with its claws into the rune array on the inside of the scroll.
"Bang!"
A small cloud of smoke rose from the cave.
A ninja dog with a letter in his mouth appears in front of him.
The new ninja dog let go of his mouth and dropped the letter, bowed his head to Uchiha Tokumitsu and Shinobi Pasha respectively, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and left.
"Your companion is a little polite, but not much." Uchiha Tokumitsu picked up the letter, bowed his head and said to the ninja dog Pasha.
Frightened, Pasha lay on the ground and wagged his tail and laughed together.
opened the letter, but the content made Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyelids jump.
Caught a big fish!
The first reaction when he saw the content of the letter, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that he had caught a treasure.
Hagi Sakumo tracked Iwakure's movements, and finally determined that the location of the secret meeting between Iwakushi and Ungakure was located in a place called 'Shikotsu Lake' in the northern part of Takinokuni, and the highest value targets that could be confirmed so far were Iwakure's assistant and secretary of Kugakure's thunderkage, accompanied by fifteen ninja retinues dressed in shadows. It's just that the content of their meeting was not revealed in the letter, and it is not known whether it was out of secrecy or because it has not yet been discovered.
Judging from the comparison of personnel, even if the target's entourage ninjas are all upper ninjas, then there are only thirty upper ninjas at most, and the number of upper ninjas led by Uchiha Tokumitsu is offset, plus dozens of middle ninjas to help, not to mention nine out of ten, at least it can be regarded as catching a turtle in an urn.
It's just that if these two people are killed, it is estimated that Liang Zi and Yan Yin Yunyin will be married from now on.
But since they have already agreed to Qimu Shuomao, it is useless to think too much.
So Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately sent a signal to summon the upper shinobi to assemble.
After discussing and deciding on tactics, the group dived non-stop to the target location.
β¦β¦
"Shinobu Sao Mao!"
About fifty kilometers from Lake Shikotsu, the ninja army led by Uchiha Tokumitsu successfully rendezvoused with Hachiki Sakushige.
"Deguang-kun." Qimu Shuomao looked a little tired, "Thank you." β
"It's a shame to say that." Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand, "How is the other party?" β
"Thirty-two, about twelve shinobi." Hachiki Shuo Shigeru explained the situation bluntly, "The protection is very thorough, there should be a sentient ninja accompanying him, and there is no possibility of lurking and listening." β
"What about your men?" Uchiha Tokumitsu saw that Shuo Shige was alone, so he asked.
ββ¦β¦ Two people pretended to be wandering ninjas and passed by a kilometer away from the target location, but they were wiped out in the first place. Others I put on the perimeter to monitor. Sakumo Hachiki was silent for a moment, "There are members of the demolition force among the Iwakushi ninjas. β
"Then you can only attack?" Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.
"So far, that's true." Qiki Shuomao nodded, "I don't know what Iwakuin and Yunyin are discussing, but it's not wrong to sabotage their talks first." β
"Okay." Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately responded and began to arrange his troops.
"Uchiha Yasushi, you lead thirty men to lurk in the northern part of Lake Shikotsu in thirty minutes, waiting for the signal to attack. And your department is in charge of the battlefield enchantment! β
"Yes!" A middle-aged Uchiha ninja stepped forward and responded with dignity.
"Uchiha and Shi, you lead thirty people to the western part of Lake Shikotsu within thirty minutes to lurk and wait for orders, and after launching an attack, you need to leave two squads in place in case there is an enemy fleeing."
"Yes!"
"Uchiha Tsunashige, you lead twenty people to dive along the waterway, this time you will be the first to launch a tentative attack!"
"Yes!"
"The others will join me and Sakumo Shangnin in launching a frontal attack!"
"Hello!"
"Let's go!"
"Brush, brush!"
Dozens of figures rose up in an instant, leaping and jumping through the jungle.
A network of encirclements was hidden in the clouds that were discussing on the lakeside.
"Deguang Jun has the skill to command the army." Qimu Shuomao sighed.
"It's just a small trick to mention." Uchiha Tokumitsu said disapprehantly, "But are there any other well-known masters on the enemy side?" β
"I didn't find it." Hachiki Sakumo thought for a moment, "The ninjas who accompanied them are all dressed in the shadows of their respective countries, and they can't tell the difference. β
"That's okay, a three-to-one ninja comparison, no matter how you fight, it's a win."
The two chatted for a while, and Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a pocket watch and looked at it, feeling that the two people who were outflanking should be almost in place, so he nodded to Uchiha Tsunada.
When Tsunashige Uchiha received the order, he immediately beckoned a group of selected ninjas to jump into the river and quickly dive towards the lake in the distance.
"Shuomao Shangnin, let's go too." Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his head and extended an invitation to Sakushige Hagi.
Hachiki Shuo Shigeru nodded calmly and pulled out the short knife tied to his back.
After drawing the sword, Qimu Shuomao showed a completely different temperament from the usual friendliness, with a murderous aura that is hidden but not revealed, and a sharp edge that is not dispersed, a typical phenomenon of a top sword master.
Uchiha Tokumitsu also pulled out the sword at his waist, and threw the scabbard to the ground as if it was in the way, and came back to pick it up anyway after winning the battle.
The left hand flicked the sword, and the blade was attached with a purple flame and arrogance.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and led their troops forward to attack.
"What people!"
The dark part of the rock near the lake sensed that there was something wrong with the surface of the lake, so he pulled out his ninja knife and walked towards the lake.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Five water dragons leaped out of the water and pounced on the tent by the lake. This is a multi-ninjutsu attack composed of multiple ninjas teaming up to unleash the Water Escape and Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Then, twenty figures jumped out of the water and began to seal quickly.
"Earth Escape: Multiple Earth Flow Walls!"
Although he was caught off guard, it was obvious that the Iwakuin Shadow Department was also an elite, and the ninjutsu he hurriedly used to block the attack of the water dragon bullet.
"Fire escapeβ"
"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Dragon Burst!"
The large-scale fire escape ninjutsu released by multiple Uchiha joined forces pounced on the rock thunder camp.
"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall!"
"Thunder Escape, Pseudo-Darkness!"
"Earth Dragon!"
For a while, their respective ninjutsu bombarded indiscriminately at close range.
Uchiha Tokumitsu pulled out a whistle, took a sharp breath, and blew wildly.
"Whew! Whoa! β
The ninja armies lurking in the north and west also rose up and swooped down fiercely towards the Iwakumo on the shore of the lake.
"Gentlemen, attack with me!" Uchiha Tokumitsu let out a loud shout and took the lead in charging with his sword.
"Kill!" The accompanying Uchiha ninja also shouted loudly and slaughtered the enemy troops on the lakeside.
And Qimu Shuomao was faster, and a teleportation technique turned into lightning and smashed into the enemy formation.
With his ferocious sword skills and extremely fast speed, Qimu Shuomao slashed two people in a short period of time, and then was blocked by the five Yunyin Shadow Divisions.
The name "White Fang" is indeed well deserved.
Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that he was making too much of a fuss and calling too many people over.
"Prepare to combine ninjutsu!" It's all coming, and the ninjutsu offensive naturally can't be prepared in vain.
"Fire escapeβ"
"Wind Escape: Great Tornado!"
"Extinguish the fire!"
A series of combined ninjutsu of fire escape and wind escape violently pounced towards the rock hidden clouds.
"Tu Dun, Tu Liutang No!"
The scrambled Iwakuin ninjas and cloud ninjas used their own means, and although they blocked this round of ninjutsu attacks, the formation was also scattered, and they were quickly divided and beaten by the Uchiha who had the advantage in numbers.
After using ninjutsu to disrupt the enemy's formation, the most effective and direct method for the superior side is to fight in close quarters, relying on the numerical advantage to surround the enemy separately.
At this time, the battlefield was already in chaos, Uchiha Tokumitsu carried the sword and intended to rush to kill, but he couldn't find a chance, and the dark guard ninjas around him followed closely on the left and right, and there was no chance to meet the enemy at all.
The only enemy in the group was the warband of the assistant of the earth shadow and the secretary of the thunder shadow, and there were still seven people, but they were surrounded by the outflanking troops led by Uchiha Yasushi and Uchiha Kazushi.
"Secret Technique: Fire Rat Jade!"
Suddenly, among the surrounded enemy troops, one of the clouds suddenly ripped off his mask, spat out a dense blue ball of fire from his mouth, and rushed towards the surrounded Uchiha ninjas.
Although the Uchiha used their own means to block, the blue demonic fire group unexpectedly broke through their respective blocking methods, causing a lot of trouble to the Uchiha.
Although the encirclement did not collapse, it was also loosened.
"Damn!" The cloud ninja in the field shouted angrily.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little surprised, you know, the Uchiha clan was originally the ancestor of playing with fire, how could it be so easy to break through and block.
However, the blue flame, and that peculiar ninjutsu name...... Seems to be a little impressed.
"Blue Flame...... Demonic Fire Cluster ......" Uchiha Tokumitsu muttered in his heart, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, that guy is the human pillar force of the second tail!" β
