Chapter Fifty-Six: Shuo Mao's Strength

Seven o'clock in the evening.

By this time, the sun had already set, and the night was gradually enveloping. At this time, the streets have begun to become deserted, due to the recent conflicts between countries have become more and more frequent, the impact on trade routes is increasing, and the large caravans that were originally everywhere are rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more and more ninjas in Konoha have been recruited by the village to go out to garrison, so the streets are also a lot deserted.

The impact of war is not only death, but also business decline and loneliness.

Compared to the streets of the village, the Uchiha clan land was much more deserted at this time.

Hand roast workshop.

This is a small restaurant opened by an ordinary Uchiha old couple in the clan land, which originally focused on light meals such as pancakes, but recently added sushi, yakitori and other businesses, and can also provide dine-in cubicles, so the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are also more diligent.

Although the merchants in the village commercial street did not dare to have any disrespect to the Uchiha of the police department, even the Uchiha felt quite uncomfortable to eat and drink in the trembling and fearful posture of others, so more of them would be relatively more willing to spend in the merchants of the clan land.

The paper lantern hanging at the door emits a soft orange light, and the three large black characters printed on the lantern are particularly eye-catching.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu came to the door of the store, the enthusiastic owner Uchiha Teyaki and his wife Uchiha Japonica greeted him warmly.

"Deguang Shaojun, welcome to your visit~"

"Good evening, Uncle Handyaki." Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted the two politely, and did not show contempt for the two because they were ordinary people, "I have an appointment with Cousin Fugaku, has he arrived?" ”

"The young patriarch has arrived, please follow me." Uncle Teyaki enthusiastically introduced Uchiha Tokumitsu into a compartment in the room.

Pushing the door in, Uchiha Fugaku was already sitting on the ground drinking tea.

From a polite point of view, Uchiha Fugaku behaved impeccably.

At least, 'Shen Du' he did.

……

"This matter really needs to be discussed with Elder Moment."

Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted and ate the ramen made by Uncle Yakiniku, which tasted good and the soup was also very good, no worse than the ramen of Ichirakuca.

"Why? The position of deputy commander of the mobile unit is a rare and practical position, is it possible that the elders will not agree to it? Uchiha Fugaku frowned, showing some annoyance, "Or is it that Tokumitsu-kun doesn't have enough of your subordinates, so I can send personnel to you." ”

"It's not about manpower." Uchiha Tokumitsu was eating ramen and tempura by himself, and there was one thing to say, the fried food produced by Uncle Teyaki was really good, and he ate it very happily, "It won't be wrong to discuss important matters involving the pie valve with the old man." ”

The disagreement between the two stems from the handling of the Uchiha Tokumitsu's upcoming position as deputy commander of the mobile unit and the transfer of twelve Uchiha shinobi to the mobile unit.

The Uchiha Tokumitsu was clearly not very enthusiastic, while the Uchiha Fugaku was particularly serious.

In the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, this so-called new ninja army, which is very likely to be used to consume the vitality of the Uchiha clan, has little power and no light responsibility, and is a hard bone to gnaw; But in the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku, it is a springboard for the Uchiha clan to seek more power.

"I don't have the right to manipulate the freedom of any clansman, especially a shinobi, that is an insult to his strength and dignity." Sushi and sashimi are also very good, Uchiha Tokumitsu's chopsticks can't stop, but it's a pity that due to the somewhat ridiculous ninja three bans, Uncle Teyaki didn't sell alcohol to him, a minor ninja, "Even if it's the Hokage, you can't restrict the actions of a shinobi at will, even if it's a wartime conscription, it also needs to be forced to call after the resolution of the ninja council, not to mention, it's still to transfer the family's ninja into this ninja army that is destined to perform dangerous tasks." ”

This is also a long-standing paradox within Konoha.

As the highest-ranking title of a ninja, Shangnin is naturally the commander of the ninja squadron and above, and has a transcendent status, but since the three generations came to power, he has been committed to strengthening the power of the Hokage Building, and the status of the upper ninja has been weakened, and there are many suppressions on the ninja clan, especially the Uchiha clan, which is already a target, and obviously feels that the sense of restraint is becoming more and more obvious.

The turnaround came from the fact that Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Fire Gate went out of the town together to take charge of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and under the dual role of timing and strength, the Uchiha clan easily obtained the benefits of the Grass Country. The lucrative gains also spurred the Uchiha to pursue more bloody and desperate opportunities for power and profit.

Uchiha Fugaku hopes that the twenty-one main battle ninjas of the mobile force will all be drawn from the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Tokumitsu still thinks that twelve shinobi are too much.

He also thought about the next day when he and Hachiki Sakushige decided on the other nine shinobi to see if he could draw a few Sarutobi or Shimura Shimura Shinobi to come in as substitutes for the dead ghosts.

This meal with Fuyue was not pleasant.

Although the two did not break up unhappily in the end, they could not talk about how much they got along, and it can only be said that the two sides had a fairly full exchange of views.

After saying goodbye to Fugaku, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not rush home, but packed another sashimi in Uncle Teyaki's shop and walked towards Elder Saki's mansion.

Compared to the Hokage Ape Tobi and the young patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, he was still more willing to respect and accept the opinions of the old man.

……

The next day, after consulting with Elder Sakina, Uchiha Tokumitsu was reasonably granted the right to transfer twelve Uchiha shinobi.

Although Elder Zena didn't attach much importance to the position of deputy commander of the mobile force, he regarded participating in the mobile force as a good place to sharpen his strength in the upper ninja.

For the predecessor ninjas who survived the Warring States Period, the strength of this generation of upper ninjas is still relatively unbearable, and there is a serious lack of tests between life and death.

Uchiha Tokumitsu has no objection to this, after all, the twelve shinobi who were summoned according to the order of the Elder Instant are all militants of the Uchiha clan, and most of them perform various private special tasks for the family, and they also take joining the mobile force as an opportunity to sharpen their strength, so it is not against the will of the Shangnin.

So, when Uchiha Tokumitsu joined with twelve Sangotama Shinobi and Hagi Shuoshige, even the well-informed Konoha White Fang was amazed by Uchiha Tokumitsu's efficiency.

He thought that it would take at least four or five days for the Uchiha clan to complete the recruitment of the upper ninja, but he didn't expect it to be done overnight, and they were all full of spirit, and at first glance they were experienced and qualified to be shinobi.

For the first batch of main ninjas to join, Sakushige Hagi was very excited. The higher-level form of the ninja combat unit that he had been dreaming of for a long time and that he had tirelessly planned to assemble was finally off to a good start.

Similarly, the Konoha Administration Department was quick to do things, quickly approving a garrison and training ground for the mobile force, but they were all located in the forest outside the village.

There's no way, in Konoha Village, where every inch of land is valuable, there really can't be a suitable place.

As for digging the basement?

No kidding, as a gathering place for ninjas, the bottom of Konoha Village has long been dug up by generations of ninjas, and everyone likes to make a basement under their own house like a gopher to toss some things that are inconvenient to show to the public.

In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakumo preliminarily selected nine other upper ninjas based on ninja information, and he also specially selected two upper ninjas of the Sarufei clan and two upper ninjas of the Shimura clan, all of which are standing ninjas that exist.

As for the reason, it's mainly because Uchiha Tokumitsu feels that the elite of Sarutoshi Village can't be missing, otherwise it won't be satisfying.

By the end of the afternoon, the personnel of the mobile unit had basically been transferred in place, all the 21 ninjas in charge of operations had arrived, all the logistics and internal affairs personnel transferred from the Ministry of Political Affairs had arrived, and the auxiliary ninjas had also been transferred in one after another, and the entire organizational structure had begun to run in.

The internal affairs ninjas from the Ministry of Government handled the affairs of the base in an orderly manner, and Hagi Shuomao was particularly happy, and he also had itchy hands for a while after he was free, so he invited all the upper ninjas to fight together on the grounds that his comrades were running-in.

Naturally, all the ninjas are also eager to try.

Although the prestige of 'White Fang' is well-known in Konoha for all ages, everyone is a ninja, and they still have a few hard kung fu, so naturally they will not be afraid of white fangs like tailed beasts like other ninjas in ninja villages, and they all want to try White Fang's catties.

The result of the battle was to make everyone on the training ground understand the whole truth of 'the gap between the upper ninja and the upper ninja may be greater than the gap between people and dogs'.

The two Sarufei clan Shangnin, one Shimura Shangnin and one Uchiha Shangnin took turns to challenge, but they were all defeated by Hachiki Shuomao neatly.

Moreover, instead of relying on all kinds of bells and whistles in ninjutsu, they all ended up being Hagi Shuomao with a sword blade across his neck.

The concise and direct knife technique, coupled with unparalleled speed and just the right amount of strength, seems simple but every point has been cultivated to the extreme. Konoha white fangs, by which they are invincible.

"Commander Shuomao, let me try!" Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't hold it back, and he also saw that he was happy to hunt, and took the initiative to challenge Hachiki Sakumo.

Although the two have known each other for a while, they have not officially tried the trick.

"Okay." Sakumo Qimu is also very happy.

After watching from the sidelines for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu also had a certain direct understanding of Shuo Mao's strength.

To put it simply, it's a thrust ninja with unbeatable speed.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately put his hands together and operated the chakra in his body for refining and transformation.

"Flame Escape Chakra Mode!"

A dark purple flame enveloped his body.

Against Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuo Shigeru, he naturally wouldn't ask him to use Uchiha Stream Swordsmanship, and when his speed, strength, and experience were far from being as good as his swordsmanship, it would be a humiliation for himself.

Hagi Sakumo held the sword in both hands and put on a posture of Yin no Structure, it seems that he does not plan to strike first, but to wait for Uchiha Tokumitsu to make the first move.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was not polite, and his hands were quickly sealed.

"Yan Dun Hao Dragon Fire Technique!"

This Uchiha clan's fire escape ninjutsu, which has been passed down for generations, has been restructured with the Yan Dun Chakra, and its power has been increased to a higher level.

The huge fire dragon swooped down on the Qimu Shuomao with an irresistible swiftness.

At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was not idle, he didn't expect a single ninjutsu to be able to make a contribution, he just used this B-level fire escape ninjutsu to test it.

Then he continued to seal his hands, and balls of fireball split out from the flame on his body, levitating above and below Zhou's body.

"Instantly!"

The fire dragon was menacing, and Qimu Shuomao, who was originally waiting for the sword with the Yin Structure, made his debut in an instant, and slashed out countless extremely cold sword lights.

The sword light composed of the Thunder Chakra slices the Chakra Fire Dragon into several pieces with a thunderous motion, triggering a martyrdom.

At the same time, the sword light continued to gain momentum, slashing towards the Uchiha Tokumitsu.

With such a might, Uchiha Tokumitsu almost lost his mind, and his handprint was almost wrong.

"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall!"

At a critical moment, Uchiha Delin hurriedly used an earth escape ninjutsu, which was able to block the slash of the sword light.

Before he could catch his breath, the ghostly Qimu Shuomao flashed five meters behind him.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's fingers hooked slightly, and the fireballs floating around his body shot like arrows from the string towards Hagi Shuo Shige behind him.

Although this fireball is small, it is also composed of Yan Dun Chakra, and it also has a certain tracking function like the two-tailed Tailed Beast Secret Technique: Fire Rat Jade.

Hachiki Sakushige was about to capture Uchiha Tokumitsu in a blitzkrieg move, but the menacing fireballs of Yan Dun forced him to stop a little and slash them out one by one with a swing of his sword.

He wasn't interested in forcing close combat against ninjutsu attacks.

Uchiha Tokumitsu let go of his hands and lowered them slightly, and a series of Uchiha Port-made steel wires shot out to the left and right, forming a huge steel wire mesh in front of him and to the left and right of Hachiki Shuomao.

"Writing Wheel Eyes, Windmill Technique, Three Blades!"

With a wave of both hands, the dense steel wire tightened inward at the same time, heading towards the Qimu Shuomao Cover, who was swinging the fireball.

At the same time, the Yan Dun Chakra also spread out along the steel wire, igniting the steel wire to form a fire net to encircle Qimu Shuomao.

"Instant Cut: Eight Stages Strike!"

Qimu Shuomao, who moved flexibly in the steel wire mesh, kept waving his short knife, and the sword light slashed left and right, cutting the steel wire mesh enclosed on three sides into pieces.

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't expect to be able to successfully trap Hagi Shuo Shigeru through this ninja technique, and with a twist of his hands, he took the initiative to disconnect the wire, and shot out a series of detonation charms from his cuffs and levitated around his body.

This is a flying talisman array developed by him by combining the Book of Seals, the Forbidden Technique of Multiplication, the Mutual Multiplication Detonation Charm Technique, and the Uchiha Ninja Technique.

"Okay, okay, Deguang-kun." Qimu Shuomao shouted, "Let's stop here, let's settle a draw." ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

With a move of both hands, the originally suspended detonating charms flew back to the cuffs one by one.

If you continue to fight, it will probably last a little longer.

In the state of ninjutsu and ninja tools, it is only a step that can be stagnant Qimu Shuomao's attack, and there is no way to carry out effective combo attacks.

But looking at the posture, although it is much more serious than the previous defeat of other challenges, it should not have shown real housekeeping skills.

Of course, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't use his final stunt either.

"Tokumitsu-kun is worthy of being an unborn genius of the Uchiha clan!" Qimu Shuomao praised from the bottom of his heart, "Whether it is the power and timing of the escape technique or the ninja technique, it can be called perfect." ”

"It's just...... If the fight continues, the training ground is estimated to be completely abandoned......" Hachiki Shuo Shigeru pointed to the surrounding environment.

In just two or three minutes, the originally intact training ground had been blown up to potholes, and the embers of the Heroic Fire Dragon Technique were burning grass and trees everywhere unscrupulously.

"Compared to Commander Shuomao, it's still a long way off." Uchiha Tokumitsu put away all the detonation charms, not satisfied with his performance in the battle just now.

"But, Deguang-kun." Qimu Shuomao blinked his eyes, "You have surpassed all your peers, your future is limitless, remember not to be presumptuous." ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

The surrounding ninjas who watched the battle were also impressed, and the strength of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru was indeed worthy of his reputation, but the young Uchiha Tokumitsu was also unmatched.
