The entire battle lasted almost an hour.

With an overwhelming numerical superiority and combat superiority, even the dark elites of the two major ninja villages of Iwakuin and Yunyin are no opponents.

The most time-consuming thing was the siege of this unknown man.

With the death of the human pillar, the traces of the tailed beast on its body gradually faded, revealing its original handsome face.

Looking around, a group of Uchiha ninja troops were cleaning up the battlefield with the recalled Shuo Shige's subordinates.

"Deguangjun ......" Qimu Shuomao stepped forward and asked with some inexplicable emotions, "Why do you have to kill this person Zhuli?" ”

"Shinobu Shiromo, if we take this man back alive......" Uchiha Tokumitsu straightened up, "what will the village do with him?" Will you keep him in our Uchiha clan or will you send him to the research institute of the Shadows? ”

“…… I basically spent the rest of my life in the Shadow Research Institute. Qimu Shuomao pondered for a while, "Renzhuli's identity is too special, even if the village takes him in, it will never reveal his identity." ”

"yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed, "The Tailed Beast Distribution Policy is an important part of the balance policy of the Five Great Powers formulated by Lord Pillarma, and it cannot be destroyed. ”

"That'...... Does this have anything to do with killing him? Hagi Sakumo was still a little puzzled, "Even if you bring it back to the research institute in the village, it ...... to the village."

Hagi Shuomao suddenly froze and understood.

"It seems that you have already understood." "Sometimes, the interests of the village and the interests of the Uchiha clan are not necessarily the same, and for our clan, not taking the initiative to harm the interests of the village is the greatest restraint; But the village's actions are sometimes harming the interests of the Uchiha clan and even most of the ninja clan at all times. ”

Qimu Shuomao could only shake his head and sigh.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield and evacuate as soon as possible." Uchiha Tokumitsu shouted to the busy crowd, "Don't forget to pick up my scabbard. ”

"Also, Toshiki-kun." Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and looked at Toshiki Hinata again, "Are there any traces of Shinobu found around?" ”

"No, there are no other ninjas within a five-kilometer radius." Toshiki Hinata, who was scanning around with his eyes blank, shook his head.

"Iwain and Yunyin are also looking for a good place." Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly, "Let them die here as a well-deserved death." ”

"I guess they probably didn't expect to die here." Qimu Shuomao was a little ridiculous.

"That's none of my business." Uchiha Tokumitsu said disapprehantly, "I'm only responsible for sending them to death." ”

"However, this time, due to an emergency, all the mission targets were killed, is it considered a mission failure?" Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly thought of something, "Will the village reproach you for Shimo Shangshinobu?" ”

"Probably not." Qimu Shuomao shook his head, "Just the two lives of the Earth Shadow Assistant and the Thunder Shadow Secretary are a great achievement, plus the record of killing the pillar, the intelligence is not important in comparison." ”

"Really?" Uchiha Tokumitsu touched his chin, thoughtful.

"Deguang Shaojun, the battlefield has been cleaned up." An Uchiha Dark Guard ninja instantly came to Uchiha Tokumitsu's side and knelt down on one knee to report, "Please give the order." ”

"What about our battle damage?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked.

"The five members of the Shangnin were slightly injured, all of which were caused by the strength of the human pillar, and after being treated by the medical ninja, it did not affect the movement." The Dark Guard Ninja reported, "Seven people were killed in the battle, one was seriously injured, and twenty-one were slightly injured, and all the wounded have been treated by medical ninjas, and there is no danger to their lives for the time being." ”

"Seven people killed in battle......" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little melancholy.

Although I know that I will inevitably be injured on the battlefield, every time I hear the casualty figures, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

After all, even if he is sparse on weekdays, the people who died in battle are all his clansmen after all, and the bloodline clansmen who break bones and connect tendons, and can always get in touch with each other through the seven aunts and eight aunts.

"Tokumitsu Shaojun, it is the fate of the Uchiha to die on the battlefield!" The Dark Guard ninja reassured, "Dying for war, blooming and withering in battle like an epiphany, this is the best ending for us Uchiha, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"Alas......" Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't know what to say for a while.

"Shuo Mao Shangnin, how do you think we can retreat?" Cleaning up the sadness of the autumn season, Uchiha Tokumitsu asked Hachiki Sakushige for advice.

"Hmm......" Hachiki Sakumo thought for a moment, "How about we retreat from the remote areas on the border of the Land of Earth?" ”

"No problem." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied, "But I have to trouble Shimo Shinobu to guide you to the route." ”

"No problem." Qimu Shuomao naturally responded, "Even if you have to trouble Hinami to help reconnoiter the situation along the way." ”

"That's fine." Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned Hinata Toshiki, "Toshiki-kun, when you bring back the withdrawn troops, Sakumo Kaminobu is preparing to sneak back from the border of the land country, and you will need to take care of it along the way, so as not to collide with Iwakure's patrol force." ”

"Yes, all these things are within the subordinate office." Although he also experienced a fierce battle, Toshiki Hinata still looked personable.

Hagi Sakushige took out a map, worked on the route on the map, and explained to the commanders of the Ichigan Shinobi Army the points to pay attention to when retreating along the way and when crossing the border.

After listening to this, Uchiha Tokumitsu also had to admire Hachiki Shuomao's meticulous planning. From the advance pathfinder team to the Chinese army escorting the wounded to the elite troops who were postponed, Qimu Shuomao assigned tasks one by one, so that while maximizing the spread of the formation and reducing the probability of discovery, the various units could contact each other and provide effective support, which was a technical job.

"Deguangjun, everything is arranged, let's give the order." After arranging the retreat of the ninja army, he turned to Uchiha Tokumitsu and said.

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly, and added one more to the advantages of Hachiki Shuoshige: not crossing the boundary, feeling self-restraint.

It's the perfect Konoha Ninja template.

Any person in a position of authority wants to have a perfect subordinate like Sakumo Hachiki.

"Gentlemen, retreat according to the order!" Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

As soon as he spoke, one figure after another rose up in an instant, shooting away in the direction of the distant land country.

"Deguang-kun, why are you so wary of the village?" On the way back, Sakumo Qiki asked with some hesitation, "You are so young, it stands to reason ......"

"Because I'm a son of the ninja clan, the Uchiha is not only the Uchiha, but also the largest ninja clan in the village." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied without hesitation, "For the ninja clan, it is an innate instinct to beware of the encroachment and interference of village rights on clan rights. ”

"Clan ......" Sakumo Hachiki felt a little melancholy at the words spoken by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

This is a man who truly carries out the Will of Fire as a personal creed.

Uchiha Tokumitsu has a high level of trust and respect for the character of Sakushige Hagi, but this does not prevent him from being wary of the village.

"Shuomao Shangnin, the history of the village is only more than 30 years, and most of the ninja people have a history of hundreds of years and nearly 1,000 years." Uchiha Tokumitsu continued, "Ninja clans such as Uchiha, Hinata, and Senju are all more than a thousand years old, and in the thousand-year-long history, the ninja have experienced countless bloody storms and overturning dangers, but they have all survived, and it is not so easy to make the ninja change. ”

Qimu Shuomao also understands this truth, but he still can't help but sigh melancholy in his heart.

"What I didn't expect was that a younger generation like you Deguangjun would put the family above the village." Qimu Shuomao sighed, "The family is important, but isn't the village important?" ”

"The village is important, but the family is even more important." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied, mimicking the words of Hachiki Sakushige, "Even the Uchiha clan, who have great prejudices against the Hokage clan like us, don't they do their best to fight for the village?" ”

"While fighting for the village, it's not too much to complain about some strange operations in the village that have lost their minds, right?" Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to express his opinion, "If you go into more detail, who can represent the village? Is it the Thousand Hands Clan who are on the verge of extinction? Is it the ape flying four who are in power? Is it the Uchiha? Is it Hinata? Is it a ninja? Or a civilian ninja? ”

"It is everyone in the ninja village who represents the ninja village." Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't wait for Hachiki Sakushige to respond, and continued to look at himself and said, "The ninja clan is also a part of the village, and the ninja clan has grievances, has Hokage-sama tried to resolve it?" The largest number of ninjas in the village are civilian ninjas, their voices, does the village care? ”

Qimu Shuomao couldn't answer.

He is a sincere ninja with a great reputation for his achievements, and there are countless ninjas who have experienced and commanded, so he naturally will not be unaware of the careful thoughts and various contradictions lurking within Konoha of various groups.

But so what?

No matter how powerful he is, he is not the Hokage, nor does he have the power to change all this.

"For example, the Police Department Preparatory Training School organized by our Uchiha clan is far superior to the ninja school in the village in terms of teachers and teaching content, why is that?" Uchiha Tokumitsu puffed up and continued to speak, "Because our Uchiha clan is really open to the students of the academy to learn all kinds of ninjutsu above the D level, as long as the students of the preparatory training academy work hard enough and are talented, then it can learn multiple five-attribute C-level chakra ninjutsu, which also means that the students who graduated from the preparatory training academy are far stronger than the ninja who play ninja games in the ninja school in the village." ”

Hachiki Shuomao had nothing to say.

A group of ninja troops jumped forward in the jungle, silently retreating towards their destination.

For a while, neither Uchiha Tokumitsu nor Hachiki Sakushige spoke, but they just hurried with all their might.

After a while, Hachiki Shuomao took the initiative to talk: "Tokumitsu-kun, if you were the Hokage, what would you try to do?" ”

"Me?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

For a long time, due to his young age and lack of voice, the phenomenon of Uchiha Tokumitsu in the family has been that of a taciturn, but indeed gifted genius boy. Including the proposal to set up a preparatory training school for the police department and the research and development of the Yan escape model, etc., they were all whims, and there were not many personal plans.

"I didn't think about it, the word Hokage is too far away for me." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment and replied, "From my bedroom window, all I can see is the police department building, so I've only thought about the police department. ”

"The police department has been doing a really good job." Sakushige Hachiki did not comment on Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions, but objectively evaluated the results of the work of the Police Department.

"It's just that the style is always a little rougher." Uchiha Tokumitsu also commented unconcernedly.

Hearing this, Hachiki Sakumo looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Both of them know each other's intentions, and they don't need to say more.

……

"It should be another ten years." Qimu Shuomao said as if he had no end in sight.

"Almost, if you don't live until ten years from now." Uchiha Tokumitsu also said pointedly.

"But then again, this time Deguang-kun, your credit is not small." Sakumo changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about what kind of reward you will get?" ”

"Hmm...... There is nothing particularly needed either. Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, "It's likely that the record is a special merit but not announced to the public, and then give some money or something." ”

"Don't you want to see the ninjutsu on the Book of Seals?" Sakumo Hachiki asked a little strangely.

"Shinobu Shuomao, do you think it's possible?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows and responded, "As for the so-called secret art in the sealing technique, is the Hokage family willing to let the Uchiha clan look at the catalog?" ”

"Hmm~ It shouldn't be." Hachiki Shuo Mao also raised his eyebrows, "For example, the first ninjutsu in the Book of Seals is the technique of multiple shadow clones, which is also one of the forbidden techniques. ”

"Shinobu Shuomao, have you seen the contents of the Sealing Technique?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little strange.

"Previously, due to the accumulation of meritorious deeds, Hokage-sama also planned to let me choose a few more secret techniques with similar characteristics from the sealing technique." Sakushige Hachiki responded, "It's just that I refused. ”

"Why?"

"Because that's not in line with my ninja." Hachiki Shuo replied proudly, "I only believe that with the knife in my hand and the secret sword technique, I can also reach the pinnacle of ninja achievement." ”

"Because of the pure, fearless, and powerful......," Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed, "I can only say that it is worthy of the famous 'Konoha White Fang'." ”

"Haha, Deguangjun said with a smile." Qimu Shuomao responded modestly, "I'm just a little learned, so I have to sharpen the knife in my hand." Unlike Deguangjun, the power used in killing the two-tailed human pillar force should belong to the power of the Blood Inheritance Limit if I guessed correctly. ”

"It's just a semi-finished product, but by chance, I found a little sign of rising." Uchiha Tokumitsu was naturally humble about this, "At present, it is still a simple chakra fusion, and the specific application in ninjutsu still needs the tips provided by other seniors in the family who can learn chakra fusion. ”

"That's also wonderful, you must know that this is a self-created bloodline power......"

In the forest, the voices of the two echoed, and with the withdrawal of the ninja army, a black pitcher plant-type lifeform appeared on the ground, looking in the direction of Uchiha Tokumitsu's departure in a daze.
