Surrounded by mountains, the eyes are devastated.

This is Uchiha Tokumitsu's first impression of Kawanokuni.

The country of Kawanokuni is the country with the largest territory under the five powers, but unfortunately this country is similar to the country of the wind, and most of the area is uninhabitable.

Cliffs and cliffs that have been eroded by wind and sand for thousands of years can be seen everywhere, strange mountains and strange rocks are endless, and the most scarce is the green vegetation that represents life and hope.

It is precisely because of the barrenness of the country of Kawanoi that the two great powers of fire and wind have little interest in their territory, and both regard it as a buffer zone between the great powers.

In addition, due to the special topography and harsh natural environment of Kawanokuni, there are a large number of barren lands that are not suitable for ordinary people to live, so the frequent conflicts caused by the two great powers of fire and wind in the territory of Kawanokuni have not had much impact on its citizens.

This is also a blessing in misfortune.

The two commanders of the Western Border Defense Force, Mimura Hamaki and Kime Gongdao, are both Konoha veteran shinobi.

Although the two became famous early and strong, they did not have a foundation behind the scenes, so although they had a certain reputation among the upper ninjas in the village, they did not have enough status, and they had been serving in various border defense forces stationed outside.

"Lord Shuomao, Deguang-kun, welcome to your arrival."

At the gate of the Western Border Defense Force's station, Mimura Hamaki excitedly held Hagi Sakumo's hand.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was observing the two of them.

He used to be the commander of the Grass Country Garrison Battalion, commanding the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and when the Uchiha Fire Gate and Uchiha Tokumitsu were the border commanders, there was a period of contact when the handover work.

It's just that compared with the calm appearance at the beginning, the Mumu Gong Knife at this time looks particularly tired and haggard.

Holding Hagi Shuomao's hand tightly, the old tears of Mimura Hamaki are also like this.

"Ye Juan Jun is a lot haggard......" Qimu Shuomao also said bluntly to this old friend, "The border commander is indeed hard for you." ”

"Shuo Maojun and Deguangjun can lead mobile troops to help, which really solves our urgent need." Speaking of his own situation, Mimura Hamaki is also sad and tearful.

"Isn't the main force of the Sand Hidden being transferred to the Land of Rain to attack Hanzo's Rain Ninja Army?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little strange.

"Even if the main force of Sha Yin pulls back, the sand ninja who stays behind gives us a special headache." Mimura Hamaki said with a wry smile.

Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kotobu welcomed Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige, as well as all the members of the mobile force, into the tent in the station, and arranged some meals before talking about the reason.

The Western Border Defense Force was originally the most powerful of the various external ninja armies stationed in Konoha, but all this became a thing of the past after the outbreak of the Rain Country War.

Although the dispatch army led by Shimura Danzo occupied some border cities in the territory of the Land of Rain, it has not been able to really break into the core hinterland of the Land of Rain, and has only been caught in an endless war of attrition with the Village of Rain Ninja on the inner line.

Although the Konoha family has a great cause, it can't withstand the endless consumption, but because it takes a lot of time for the village to recruit the ninja army, and it also has to take into account the various tasks that have skyrocketed in number after frequent wars, the northwest border defense force near the country of rain has become the target of Shimura Danzo's wool.

The original quota of 1,700 members of the Western Border Defense Force was successively withdrawn from nearly 600 elite ninjas for various reasons, and the requisition order was accompanied by the permission of the Hokage, and Mimura Hamaki and Kime Gongdao could not find a reason to stop them.

Coupled with the frequent attacks and consumption of Shayin, the backbone of the central ninja was withdrawn, and the western border defense force, which had already suffered serious blood loss in the ninja army system, was in a state of passive beating, and the morale and combat capability of the ninja army were even worse.

"So far, there are less than 600 ninjas left in the border army who can participate in the battle, and they also have to shoulder border patrols, invasion and clearance, escort tasks, etc., and the village's assessment requirements for us have never been lowered, but they have intensified and continuously pressed the task, and the ninja army has long been overwhelmed."

At this time, Mimura Hamaki, who was already thirty years old, was a little choked up in his words, and Mumu Gongdao also sighed with a long sigh.

In a trance, Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed to have returned to his previous life, as if he was listening to a middle-aged social animal crying about the unbearable experience of being squeezed and whipped by KPIs and 360 EIA.

"After the Sand Hidden pullback, are there any other enemies that are difficult to deal with?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little puzzled.

"Although the large-scale ninja army of the sand has been withdrawn, there is still an attack team composed of several elite shinobi who are still operating in the territory of Kawanokuni and the border area of the Fire Country, and we have no way to sanction them......" Kime Koto said helplessly.

"Elite Shangninja ......" Sakumo Hagi held his chin with his hand, and his index finger tapped his temple slightly, thinking about coping tactics.

"Do you have any specific information about the enemy?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.

"No...... Kime shook his head with a wry smile, "The ninja squads that fought with them have all been killed, and we have only analyzed some limited information based on the corpses. ”

"Elaborate."

"There are about five or six people, among whom there should be two or three puppeteers with extremely high attainments, and the others should also be Shangnin who specializes in Feng Dun."

Mimura Hamaki said helplessly.

The enemy came and went freely as if he were in a no-man's land, and he had to lose his troops countless times to exchange for such a little rough intelligence, which made him, the commander of the border force, very faceless.

"Is there any pattern to the other side's attacks?" Sakumo Hachiki asked.

Mimura Hamaki took out a map and opened it.

It is densely marked with a red '×' number, as well as time, casualties and other annotation words.

"There's no pattern at all......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige looked at the map for a long time and found that they couldn't find the pattern of the attack at all.

"Yes......" Kime said helplessly.

"I don't even know the identity of the other party?" Hagi Sakumo scratched his head, also feeling a little troublesome.

"Yes...... "Mimura Hamaki sighed, "We can't even track it effectively, they have touched the perimeter of the camp many times, but fortunately, Hinata's white-eyed ninja found out and warned in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......"

"Let's discuss tactics for clearing out the enemy."

Hachiki Sakumo stopped Mimura Hamaki's complaint and took the initiative to say.

"Good, good, very good!"

Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kototoji were overjoyed.

……

The mission destination of the mobile force transferred into the country of Kawanokuni was originally the border area in the northern part of the country of Kawanokuni near the country of rain, but now because Sanshoyu Hanzo was busy turning his head to resist the menacing army of Sand Hide, he had no intention of taking care of the Konoha ninja army, so the Konoha dispatch army stationed in the eastern border area of the country of rain could also take a breath of relief to replenish and recuperate, and the mobile force did not need to rush to the border area to plan the actions of the dispatch army.

After the discussion between Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige, it was finally decided to divide the troops and pull the net to clear the whole territory.

The main force responsible for the search for the net is naturally the combat ninjas of the mobile force.

The Uchiha Tokumitsu commanded twelve Uchiha shinobi in the mobile force, while Hachiki Sakushige led the other nine combat shinobi and three shinobi from the border force to form a search and suppression team.

There are a total of two teams of twenty-four ninjas, and the two teams are each equipped with three perceptual ninjas, forming a first-line search team. The Border Force organized two support units of 30 ninjas each, which served as the rear communication support fulcrum and supplementary force of the two search and suppression teams.

The auxiliary ninja units and escort squads under the mobile unit were left in the garrison battalion of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force to assist in the defense.

At the same time, the border troops also gathered the last bit of elite strength and organized a reserve force of 70 men to be put into action at any time

After assigning the search area and determining the time and code for the exchange of information, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige led their troops out on a mission under the expectant gaze of Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kototo.

……

Uchiha Tokumitsu divided the twelve Uchiha upper ninjas under his command into three teams, four upper ninjas in each team, and then divided the three perceptual ninjas into each team, he personally led one team in the middle, and the other two teams were divided into left and right, and chose an area with the highest concentration of Sand Hidden attacks to search.

I searched for two days, but found nothing.

At noon on the third day, after a morning search, the Uchiha Tokuko led the department to rest on the top of a cliff.

"Chirp—"

Suddenly, a flare rose into the sky in the distance.

"It's the support troops!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's face changed!

Sha Yin finally couldn't help it.

"Let's go!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not hesitate, pulled out the small sword, and led his troops to quickly rush towards the police.

The other four Uchiha Kamishinobi and Perception Ninjas consciously followed them to form a Yafeng formation.

Suddenly—

"Wind Escape, Great Wind Knife!"

The wind blade, which is barely visible to the naked eye, emits a wind howl like a sharp blade breaking through the air at high speed, and strikes towards the Uchiha Tokumitsu.

The rocks and gravel along the way were all cut by the wind blade and broken, which is so powerful that it can be seen!

"Secret Technique: Uchiha Fire Array!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly sealed, and his left foot hit the ground.

Purple flames rolled up in all directions like a whirlpool, shielding themselves and their men from the flames.

"Enemy six!"

The Perception Ninja shouted.

"What is the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain...... Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a sneer.

Deliberately attack the weak support forces in order to divert the two groups of men on his left and right flanks, and then concentrate on attacking him as the leader.

"I don't know who gave you the courage to take the initiative to attack me."

In Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes, the scarlet three-hooked jade slowly turned, and seeing that his subordinates were ready, he slowly dispersed the fire array that was hidden around him.

"Uchiha Tokumitsu, Konoha's youngest shinobi, was the deputy commander of the Northwest Border Defense Force of the Fire Country, and is currently the deputy commander of the Konoha New Mobile Force......"

On the cliff in front of them, there were four men, two women, and six Sha Yin.

It was a woman in the center who spoke.

"Your information is still quite accurate~" Uchiha Tokumitsu twisted his neck, and the scarlet writing wheel looked at the Sand Hidden Ninja.

"Deguangjun has defeated Iwain many times, and we have a bit of a disagreement with those granite-headed stone people, so naturally we have collected some information."

A red-haired male sand hidden ninja next to him said.

His gaze was unafraid to look directly at the Uchiha Tokumitsu's chakra.

"As a sign of respect for Deguangjun, I have decided to accept your writing wheel as my treasure." The female Shagakure is equally polite and says the bloodiest words in the gentlest tone.

"I really envy you......" Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed with a hint of emotion, "Courage is commendable!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he turned into an instantaneous shadow and killed Sha Yin.

Among the four Uchiha ninjas under his command, two of them killed him together, and the other two covered the perception ninja while sealing to prepare for ninjutsu support.

At the same time, a flare is sent into the sky by the Sensing Ninja, but it is shot down by the Wind Blade before it can rise into the air.

"Magic: The Art of Hanghang!"

The Uchiha Tokumi's eyes emitted illusions to interfere, and at the same time, he swung his sword and stirred the chakra to form a sword aura.

"Uchiha Ryu Hinosa Dance!"

"Uchiha Ryu Sword Flame Slash!"

The surging Fire Escape Sword Qi slashed towards the direction of Sha Yin.

"Water escape, water breaks!"

"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall!"

Two ninjutsu blocked the attacks of Uchiha Tokumitsu and his subordinates.

It can be seen that the attack force of Shayin is also very carefully organized. The ninjas in the desert who can use the water escape ninjutsu, and it is the upper ninja, it can also be said that it is rare.

"Three minutes!"

The earthflow wall gradually collapsed, revealing six sand ninjas and six golems.

The red-haired male Sha Yin raised three fingers on his left hand, "As long as we kill you within three minutes, your subordinates won't have time to surround and rescue you!" ”

"It's so unpleasantly confident......" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his sword, and with a flick of his left hand on the blade, a purple aura ignited from the blade, and then spread all over his body. I guess your background is also very good, otherwise you wouldn't be so arrogant and look ridiculous that you haven't experienced the beating of reality......"

"In front of our Sand Hidden Puppeteer, even the Uchiha's Sharingan is of no use to us!" The female Sagakure Shinobu said confidently.

"Really......"

There was a sneer on the corner of Uchiha Tokumitsu's mouth.

The left foot slammed again.

"Fire Escape, Fire Sealing Law Realm!"

The raging fire that swept down from his left leg poured into the ground, blasting open the ground like a volcanic eruption, forming ravines and figuring red flames that flowed like magma.

Caught off guard, Sha Yin hurriedly jumped back, and condensed the chakra to form a series of wind blades to break through the ground, cutting off the diffuse of the fire chakra underground.

"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"

A frenzied wave of flames swept towards the sand.

"Fire Escape, Dragon Fire Technique!"

The four Uchiha shinobi under his command also used fire escape ninjutsu to help.

"Near-Song Secret Technique: Six-Star Collapse!"

The six puppets floated in mid-air, forming a hexagonal formation, and together they opened the organs in their abdomen, revealing large tubes one after another, sending out vortex sucks with strong suction, absorbing all the Fire Escape Ninjutsu.

It's just that there are faint red lights flickering on the puppet's abdomen, and it seems to be on the verge of an explosion.

Two masked Sand Cain emerged from the ground in a frustrated manner, their hair the same color as the man and woman who had spoken the most.

"Use puppetry, manipulate puppets to perform puppetry, and it's up to you puppeteers who can't see the light to think of it......"

"How do you see that?"

With a look of some shock, the female Sha Yin asked.

"All said, you ...... in front of the eyes of the Uchiha"

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled confidently.

"There's nothing to hide!"

Then he swung his sword and killed, and the Uchiha Shinobi followed suit.
