Chapter 80: Fall! Onoki's fury and Mito's worries
Iwakure's retreat was panicked.
Even though Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakumo led the team to chase and kill, most of the Iwakushi ninja army, who fought and retreated, continued to abandon the follow-up broken rear troops.
Although Iwakure was defeated, whether it was the ninja who knew that he would die, or the Iwakure ninja army on the way to retreat, the perseverance and tenacity shown were enough to be admired.
Perseverance and immobility!
This is the will of the stone that shaped the rock ninjas of the past generations.
"It's a ninja village that is one of the five great powers."
Exhausted, Uchiha Tokumitsu swung the blood from his blade, pulling up the clothes of a Iwakure's body on the ground to wipe the remaining blood stains on the blade.
After chasing for nearly seventy kilometers, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige finally stopped.
The ninjas who accompanied them on the hunt also collapsed to the ground one by one, panting to regain their strength and chakra.
"The disadvantage of Iwakuin is that they seriously lack the elite strength above the upper ninja level." Sakumo Hachiki gave a fair assessment: "But in the lower and middle ninja stages, the ability of the Iwakushi ninja is significantly superior to that of other ninja village ninjas. ”
"Iwakure's ninjutsu popularization is really good." Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in agreement.
"Prepare to retreat." Qimu Shuomao looked around and saw that everyone was almost resting, so he suggested.
"Let's go back......," Uchiha Tokumitsu retracted his wiped sword back into its scabbard, "I'm really tired." ”
"But the good thing is that the results are still good." Sakushige Hachiki also smiled.
Although the final result of the battle has not yet been counted, in the process of chasing and killing by the two of them, at least no less than 300 Iwakuin ninjas have been killed.
Judging from the comparison of the number of participants on both sides and the final result, the war against Iwakure jointly commanded by Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hagi Sakushige and Uchiha Homon can be described as a complete victory.
"Leave the rest to those who are willing to meddle in this matter." Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand to summon the Uchiha ninjas of Tokumitsu Akatomi to clean up the battlefield, "The only thing we have to do next is to ensure that the fruits of victory are neither lost nor stolen. ”
"The Village...... It's not ......," Hachiki Shuomao said before he froze, sighed and said no more.
……
This war, jointly planned by the Uchiha Tokumitsu trio, had a particularly far-reaching impact on the ninja world.
The blow to Iwakure's international status and prestige is also extremely heavy.
In order to avoid the ensuing revenge of the angry Iwakure, on the second day after the battle, the Konoha Kusashinobi coalition army completed the post-war rest and battlefield cleanup, and after burning the Iwakure camp to ashes, they began to withdraw to the northern mountain castle in the country of grass.
At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu also handed over the body of Commander Iwakure's Explosive Hunt to a Iwakure captive and released him, who brought the chief's body back to Iwakure.
Rather than throwing the corpse as proof of war exploits to the dark dissecting to crack the mystery of the explosion, it is better to return it to Yan Yin.
At noon, the Hokage plenipotentiary and Konoha advisor elder Mitomon, who had arrived from the village, arrived at the mountain castle in the north of the country of grass.
When Mito met Uchiha Tokumitsu, he was in high spirits discussing the name change of Yamashiro with Dr. Kobayakawa, the daimyo envoy of the country of Kusano.
The so-called northern mountain castle is actually just a semi-abandoned old city ruins, which used to be mainly inhabited by some merchants and a small number of herdsmen who traveled between the land and the grass country; With the start of the war, these border people with a keen sense of smell have long fled without a trace.
"Mito Advisor, good afternoon." Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted Mito Menyan happily, "You're here just in time, I'm discussing with Dr. Kobayakawa about changing the name of Yamashiro, why don't you also take a look?" ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu's previous life, as a person from a big country, has been familiar with great achievements such as Le Shi Yanran and Feng Wolf Juxu since he was a child, and he is fascinated, but it is a pity that he can't engage in this kind of incident in the territory of the land country to pull hatred, so he has a whole job for himself on the border of the country of grass.
"Huh...... Deguangjun is so elegant. Mito Menyan smiled forcefully.
"Fuyan, gravel, bullet earth, Hirosaki, which one do the Mito Gate advisors think is better?" Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind Mito Menyan's perfunctory behavior, and was still in high spirits.
"It doesn't matter...... Tokumitsu-kun, if you have time, please call all of you to a meeting. "Mito Menit's looking a little impatient.
Before he arrived in Yamashiro, he first met with Hachiki Sakushige and Uchiha Fire Gate at the garrison camp, but both of them said that the meeting of ninja affairs could only be held in the presence of Uchiha Tokumitsu himself, but at this time Uchiha Tokumitsu was not in the camp, and it was suggested that the meeting should be held at another date.
Where can the burning Mito Menyan wait, so in a hurry, he went directly to the mountain castle in the north in person, insisting on pulling Uchiha Tokumitsu back to the station.
"What about gravel? It just so happens that this place is also full of broken stones, and it is also the right time. Uchiha Tokumitsu explained with interest.
Although Dr. Kobayakawa also knew the original meaning of the name "gravel", he did not have the courage to refute it at all, and only promised to do so.
"I'm bothering you over there." Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Dr. Kobayakawa on the shoulder, looking like the friendship between the two sides was 'ruthless'.
Dr. Kobayakawa bent even lower.
"Mito Gate Advisor, I'm sorry for you to go to this wasteland in person."
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Mito Menyan talk while walking.
"Deguang-kun, please return to the camp as soon as possible." Mito Menyan didn't want to go around in circles anymore, and said bluntly, "The military meeting is very important, please return as soon as possible." ”
"Later." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, "I'll go back to the camp after arranging the defense here, and the military council can be held at eight o'clock tonight." ”
"Okay."
Mito Menyan got the right word, and didn't drag the mud and water, "Then I'll leave for the camp first." ”
"Walk slowly, don't send."
……
The fire and earth war jointly planned and launched by the three Uchiha Tokumitsu, although it was an undeclared war, had a great impact on Iwakure.
In Iwakuin Village, the Tsuchikage Building.
Onoki angrily threw several water glasses.
A dry rock is hidden, and he doesn't dare to breathe.
Leech's face was like ashes, and he lowered his head to accept the final judgment from the Tsuchikage.
The general of the southern ninja army in Iwakuin was killed in the battle, and all the troops were lost, and as the commander of the southern border defense force, he was even more charged with losing his division and land.
Even if you don't die, you have to shed several layers of skin. Although the leech was mentally prepared in advance, he was still trembling when he faced the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki.
"Old Purple!" Onoki shouted angrily.
The only man in the ninja on the field who showed a nonchalant face put down Jiro's leg and stood up.
As a four-tailed human pillar force, and also refer to the power of the tailed beast to develop the old purple who has always been a little incompatible with Ohnoki, who is the earth shadow, but after all, its strength is strong, and it is especially valuable to Iwakuin, who is scarce in top combat power, so there are some outrageous but not violating the principle, Onoki has to pinch his nose and admit it.
"From tomorrow, you will lead your direct troops and the Southern Border Defense Force south!" Onoki was furious, "And rebuild the southern camp, and reconnoiter Konoha's garrison!" ”
"I'll go to Kyoto to meet the daimyo first, and then I'll lead my troops south!" Onoki said word by word, gritting his teeth.
"Yes!" Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with them or not, the group of Iwakuin immediately got up and responded.
"Leech ...... shinobi" Onoki's eyes fell on the trembling and crumbling leech.
"In ......"
"You should be a ninja and serve under Lao Zi." Although it is a pity that the leech has shown talent and talent in the past, Onoki, who is the earth shadow, still suppressed his feelings, "If you don't die in the first battle of the five times, I will allow you to start again." ”
After speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down in the chair, and waved his hand tiredly to let everyone leave.
"Iwakure ......" In the empty Tokage's office, Onoki murmured with a little tiredness.
"Uchiha! Qimu Shuomao !! Onogi's tone became vicious.
……
When Uchiha Tokumitsu arranged the defense of the original northern mountain castle and the current gravel city, he rushed all the way back to the garrison camp, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
After a simple meal in the camp, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not go to discuss with Hachiki Shuomao and Uchiha Huomen, and rested for a while.
He also believes that as comrades-in-arms who can be entrusted with their backs, they still have a tacit understanding with each other, and they don't need to be too deliberate.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
In a daze, Uchiha Tokumitsu heard the soft call of a Uchiha ninja from the Red Reserve team.
"Got it."
Uchiha Tokumitsu got up and looked at the clock, it was seven thirty o'clock.
After washing up a little, he staggered to the big tent of the Chinese army.
At this time, outside the big tent of the Chinese army, several groups of people had already gathered on the periphery to talk to each other.
"Command Deguang."
"Tokumitsu-sama."
"Shaojun!"
When the ninjas saw Uchiha Tokumitsu coming over, they greeted each other one after another.
Uchiha Tokumitsu responded one by one.
A slight glance at the crowd showed that it was clearly distinguished.
The Uchiha clan and the pro-affiliated ninja clan gathered together, and the small ninjas and civilian ninjas who favored Hagi Shuo Shigeru gathered, as well as medium-sized ninjas such as Ape Fei and Pig Deer Butterfly, and the civilian ninjas who did not rely on them were scattered in twos and threes.
Just like the current political pattern of Konoha, although there is sincere unity on the surface, in fact, everyone is still playing their own games.
At least, Konoha really doesn't have Iwakure unity.
While thinking ramblingly, Uchiha Tokumitsu lifted the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent and walked in.
"Deguang-kun, are you resting?"
The Uchiha Homon was writing hard to deal with official business in front of the case, while Sakushige Hachiki was drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw Uchiha Tokumitsu entering, he greeted with a smile on his face.
"After a while, I feel much better." Uchiha Tokumitsu felt much more comfortable sleeping in the city, "Mitomon advisor hasn't come yet?" I saw everyone waiting outside. ”
"There's still an hour before the meeting, so it's up to him to set the shelf." Uchiha Fire Gate pushed away a large pile of documents in front of him, raised his head and observed Uchiha Tokumitsu's demeanor, "It's really much better, and the bloodshot in his eyes has dissipated a lot." ”
"Really?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised an eyebrow, he didn't have the habit of looking in the mirror, so he didn't notice the changes in his eyes.
"Deguangjun has really worked hard." Qimu Shuomao nodded in approval, "After this battle, Deguangjun is really tired of managing the affairs of various ministries. ”
"Shuo Maojun praised...... It's all thanks to Uncle Huomen......"
The three of them laughed, and about half an hour later, Mito Menyan lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Mito Gate Advisor."
The three saluted in unison.
"Is the military council starting now?"
Sakumo Hagi gave up his seat on the side of the Uchiha Fire Gate and asked proactively.
Mito Menyan nodded slightly, and the Uchiha Fire Gate shook the copper bell to summon the various departments in charge of the upper shinobi to enter.
Although he was silent on the surface, Mito Menyan was secretly still carefully observing the three of them and the various departments in charge of shinobi.
In the big tent, the Uchiha Fire Gate is in the upper seat, the Uchiha Tokumitsu is the first on the left, the Hagi Sakushige is the first on the right, and Mito Menyan is sitting next to the Uchiha Fire Gate.
The seats of the ninjas who entered the big tent were also very distinct.
The Uchiha clan and the pro-ninja clan have the largest number of upper ninjas, all of whom sit in a group under Uchiha Tokumitsu, and their attitude is respectful, and the attitude of greeting Uchiha Tokumitsu is even better than when he salutes Uchiha Homon.
And those small ninjas and civilian ninja-born upper ninjas who were close to Hachiki Shuomao also sat below him.
As for the ninjas of the Nakata Ninja Clan, such as the powerful Sarufei, Shimura, and Pig Deer Butterfly clans in the village, they were scattered behind Hachiki Shuomao.
Behind the Uchiha clan seats, there are some civilian ninjas.
What made Mito Menyan feel the most dazzling were the two Hyuga ninjas sitting in the camp of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige; And looking at the way they calmly communicate with the people around them, it seems that they are quite friendly, not just sitting there casually.
After glancing at everyone's expressions, all of them looked calm, and it seemed that they were all used to this kind of division of camps.
Through a simple question of the number of seats in the daily meeting, Mito Menyan also saw the division of power in the garrison camp of the country of grass.
Ape Fei, Shimura, and Pig Deer Butterfly, which are hot in the village, can only stand aside in the northwest border defense troops.
It can be seen from this that if the village wants to regain control of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, it is definitely not as simple as changing the command.
Mito Menyan sighed in his heart, feeling particularly tricky.
"Gentlemen, now begin the meeting." As soon as the sound of the Uchiha fire gate fell, the people in the tent who were originally talking to each other immediately fell silent.
Mito's eyelids couldn't help but jump again.
"After the summary of various departments, the results of this battle against Iwain are as follows——"
As soon as the military council was held, the Uchiha Fire Gate began to announce the war gains.
“…… In this operation, a total of 1,744 people were killed and 123 people were captured, including 22 members of the combined attack of the upper ninja under the commander of Iwakure; A total of 328 people were killed and 559 were wounded......"
"Our department can achieve such an impressive record under the condition of inferior troops, all thanks to the bloody battles of the monarchs!" Hachiki Sakumo took over the words of the Uchiha Fire Gate and praised him again.
"Five-point three-fold exchange ratio! It can be seen that the elite and majestic of our ninja army! Uchiha Tokumitsu held his head high and exclaimed.
"Loyal! Honest! ”
The clan ninjas below Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't wait to stand up and shouted in unison.
"Wow! Military! ”
The ninjas below Hachiki Shuo Mao also shouted in unison.
Mito Menitis was stunned......
Before I knew it, it was already chapter 80...... As a rookie author, I can write 280,000 words today, and I also have some unspeakable thoughts in my heart at this time.
After thinking about it, I still have to thank all readers for their continued support.
Thank you again.
I am ashamed that during the Spring Festival, we failed to meet everyone's requirements for additional changes, and then try to improve the quantity while ensuring the quality, and strive for two changes a day.
In addition, by the way, blind dates are really an extremely uncomfortable thing, like a commodity that is put on the shelf, and it is simply unbearable for people with strong self-esteem.
If you are still in the ivory tower or are still young, it is recommended to solve the major life events as soon as possible.
