Regarding Jiraiya's request to see Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru directly refused.

Through the attitude of Uchiha Tokumitsu when he first visited the station, he knew that this young ally did not have much affection for the Hokage, so he also directly refused, and saved himself from being too idealistic and said something that should not be said to annoy Uchiha Tokumitsu, and it was plain and unnecessary trouble.

For several days, the village did not react to the contradictions and clashes between the command of the mobile unit and the top management of the dispatch army, as if they did not know about the conflict.

This made Qimu Shuomao breathe a sigh of relief, and felt a little sad.

Relieved because there was no need to have civil strife in the event of a major war.

And I feel sad that it has come to such a sake, and the upper echelons of the village, especially the Hokage, are still thinking about covering up to whitewash the peace, but they have not thought about how to solve or reconcile the contradictions and problems that already exist.

"Nara Masaaki died in vain."

Hachiki Sakushige carefully read the latest Hokage edict while talking to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"It's okay to endure it, but to be a dog in the group, what if you don't die in vain." Uchiha Tokumitsu said lazily, "Besides, there are only a few shinobi in the Nara family, if it weren't for the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Three Clans Alliance, and they have been close to the Hokage for a long time, how could they monopolize the position of the leader of the upper ninja class with their strength." ”

"Uh...... The strategy of the Nara family is still very good. ”

Qimu Shuomao defended slightly.

"Nara Kamishinobi, who has a good strategy, used the Yin Escape Ninjutsu to plot against a Uchiha ......who has three hooks," Uchiha Tokumitsu repeated the old tune to show disdain, "Maybe it's the hereditary position of the ninja class, which makes the Nara family a little drifting, forgetting who is the master of Yin Escape." ”

"Forget it......"

Hachiki Sakushige stopped talking about the Nara clan with a wry smile, "What do you think of Hokage-sama's edict?" ”

"I see with my eyes." Uchiha Tokumitsu was dumbfounded, took the edict handed over by Hachiki Sakushige and read it.

As expected, the edict did not mention the contradictions and conflicts between the mobile troops and the dispatched troops, but was all about the specific requirements for the next stage of combat missions.

"Our Hokage-sama is indeed a master of the mud."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a bit of a teasing.

Qimu Shuomao shook his head helplessly.

"According to the information in this article, Shagakure has already started a full-scale war with the rain ninja, and it is actually evenly matched......" Uchiha Tokumitsu was surprised, "It can only be said that it is worthy of being the 'demigod' of Sanshoyu Hanzo, and it is worthy of being the rain ninja who is not afraid of death, and the toughness is really good." ”

"Hanzo's psychic beast, Sanshoyu Iyu, is indeed extraordinary." Hachiki Sakushige summarizes the performance of the rain shinobi in the war in the edict.

The implication is that the rain is not a matter of concern, thanks to Hanzo's support.

"If Hanzo didn't die, Yunin wouldn't die." Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed his opinion, "With a strong man like Sanshoyu Hanzo, even if Yushinobu is defeated for a while, as long as Hanzo still has the will to fight again, Yunin will not perish." ”

"Sansho Fish Hanzo and Psychic Beast Ifushi ......" Qimu Shuomao was also a little embarrassed, "It's really a terrifying pair." ”

Hanzo's own strong strength and the super water escape ninjutsu second only to the second Hokage, coupled with the poison of the psychic beast Ifushi, combined with the special geographical environment of the country of rain, Hanzo, the local fighting Sansho fish, is simply the chosen son of the country of rain, and is naturally invincible.

Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

This is a true portrayal of the situation of the rain ninja.

As a small country ninja village, the rise of Rain Shinobi is due to the strength and personal charm of Sanshoyu Hanzo.

But the Five Great Powers and the Five Great Ninja Villages never thought of accommodating a newly rising small country as an equal companion.

Hanzo, who led the rise of the Rain Shinobi, hoped to get a piece of the pie from the great powers, but the great powers used the war to tell him that they would rather smash the pot than let the hungry Rain no Country have a chance to lick it.

Although the ninja world is large, for the daimyo and the great ninja village who are accustomed to gluttonous feasts and wanton predation, the benefits will never be enough.

"Rise in blood and tears, decline in hardship......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also sighed a little, "Even Iwakure, who is confronting Yunyin, is not willing to sit idly by, and once again sent the ninja army to gather on the northern border of the Land of Rain." ”

"By the way, will Yun Yin suddenly attack Taki Shinobi?" Hachiki Sakushige suddenly thought of an unrelated question.

"It shouldn't be ......," Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, "Taki Shinobu also has a tailed beast, and if he is in a hurry, he may not even ignore the rules and go directly to Yunyin's lair, Yunlei Gorge, to release the tailed beast." ”

"It's also ......" Hachiki Sakumo ignored the question that came up somehow, "Regarding Hokage-sama's edict request, what are you going to do?" ”

"Look at it." Uchiha Tokumitsu pinched the edict and said with some playfulness: "Let's enter the southern border of the Rain Country together with the Western Border Defense Force, and cooperate with the side of the sand to strike at the Rain Shinobi...... If you don't know, you think this edict was signed by Kazekage-sama......"

In this regard, Qimu Shuomao was also a little speechless.

"Besides, I just killed the son and daughter-in-law of Elder Chiyo of the high-level of the Sand Hide, and now let me deal with them......" Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was full of dissatisfaction, "...... I'm afraid it wasn't for Hokage-sama who thought I was made of iron, and the poison of the sand can't help me. ”

"Otherwise, I'll lead the army, Deguangjun, you will be in charge of the rear, so that I can also hand over my back to you."

"No, no, no." Uchiha Tokumitsu resolutely shook his head and refused, "The war movement of the Land of Rain has been played, how can the Uchiha clan be absent?" ”

"Then do you want to divide the troops?"

"It's just that in this way, it will be difficult to resist Hanzo's attack." Uchiha Tokumitsu still felt that something was wrong.

"Hanzo ......" Hachiki Sakumo also frowned, feeling a little tricky, "He's still fighting with Shayin, he shouldn't be able to get out so quickly and fight Konoha right?" ”

"There is nothing wrong with being careful, after all, we are all our own clansmen or relatives and friends, and we must not slack off." Uchiha Tokumi flicked the edict, "And...... For some reason, I always felt that the dispatch army could not stop Hanzo's offensive. ”

"No, after all, it's five thousand ninjas and not five thousand pigs......" Hachiki Sakumo felt that Uchiha Tokumitsu's idea was a little pessimistic, "The strength of Danzang is still very good, and the strength of the three apprentices of Hokage-sama is very good, with them, even if there are some mistakes in the command of the ninja army, it will not lead to a big defeat." ”

"It's up to the 'Darkness of Ninja' plan, anyway, our mission is just to respond." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it and felt that it was better to be cautious, "After all, Danzang is also known for being cautious, so let's just take care of ourselves." ”

After some deliberation, the two finalized the strategic layout of leading their troops into the southern region of the Land of Rain to deal with the threat of the rain ninja by the sand hide.

The core of the battle is naturally the most elite mobile troops, followed by the ninja army under the command of the more numerous Western Border Defense Force to attract the attention of the other side on the surface, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu's private army Red Reserve is lurking in the border area as a reserve force in case of the unexpected.

After sending a letter and discussing the details of the operation again with the commanders of the Western Border Defense Force, Mimura Hamaki and Kime Koto, when everything was finalized, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige once again led their troops into the Land of Rain.

……

The western border of the Land of Rain.

At the forefront of the confrontation between Rain Shinobi and Sagakure.

Even in the arid regions of the Land of Winds, the sky of the Land of Rain is still drizzling.

For the desert sand, rain is as precious as gold, but for the people of the land of rain, it is all a symbol of the blood and tears of this miserable country.

Hanzo looked up at the sky with a scythe, and his heart was extremely irritable at this time.

Sha Yin's tenacity and strength far exceeded his expectations, whether it was active offense or passive defense, the quality of ninjas was far inferior to that of the great ninjas, and Yu Shinobi was the side with greater losses.

After repeated battles, the rain ninja who poured out of the nest had suffered nearly a thousand battle losses, and what was even more deadly was that the supply had gradually become less and less.

"Hanzo-sama ......"

A rain shinobi knelt down on one knee at Hanzo's side.

"Did you find out?"

"Find out...... Rain Shinobi lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the god in his mind, "It's Konoha ...... It was the Konoha ninja army in the east who sent a squad to attack the supply line......"

"Konoha ......" Sanshoyu Hanzo felt extremely tired physically and mentally.

Originally, it would be difficult for the major powers to take turns to attack, and if they really went together, the weak Rain Ninja Village would not be able to parry it at all.

However, fortunately, the contradictions between the major powers are greater than those with the country of rain, and there is almost no basis for trust to join forces directly, so the rain shinobi can barely support it.

The reason why Hanzo led his troops to attack the sand hide was originally in the hope that he could quickly repel the attack of the sand hide, so as to deter Konoha and Iwakure, who were about to move.

But since the launch of the all-out war, even Sha Yin is not something that just Yunin can contend with.

The strength of the five major ninja villages is not only the strength of individual high-level combat power, but more importantly, it is a solid systematic combat echelon, and in this regard, Yu Ninja is at an overall disadvantage.

Moreover, in the face of the high-level Chiyo Elder of the Sand Hide, who is also good at using poison, the effect of the psychic beast Ifushi Fushi of Sanshoyu Hanzo is also relatively limited, which is equivalent to nearly half of the lethality of the abandoned Hanzo on the battlefield.

The situation that was already barely supported, coupled with Konoha's attack in the rear, made the situation more and more precarious, and Sanshoyu Hanzo felt almost overwhelmed.

"Is there any information on the Konoha ninja army that carried out the attack?"

Sanshoyu Hanzo's tone was emotionless, and he asked coldly.

"After reconnaissance and identification, it was determined that it was the direct subordinate unit of the high-level Shimura Tuanzang of Konoha ......" Yu Shinobi didn't dare to raise his head, "...... That is, the roots. ”

"Huh...... It's really worthy of the legendary 'Darkness of Ninja', just like a rat in the gutter, and he's the best at taking advantage of the chaos to rob. ”

The green tendons of the hand holding the lock sickle burst out, which shows the anger in Hanzo's heart at this time.

"Pass the order down......" Sanshoyu Hanzo closed his eyes, "The ninja army is up and down, and the forbearance equipment and grain and grass will be distributed in full, and be ready to fight at any time......"

"Yes!"

Although Yu Shinobu was a little surprised by this decision, he still firmly carried out the leader's order.

"After this battle, regardless of success or failure, all troops will withdraw and return to attack Konoha!"

Hanzo, who suddenly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and hated the Konoha dispatch army that was harassing the rear.

This is also a helpless move.

The gap in the combat power of the rain ninja is quite large, and if it is coupled with the impact of insufficient supplies, even if the strength and prestige of the Sanshoyu Hanzo are high, they will not be able to reach the repeated attacks of the sand hide.

Therefore, only after fighting hard to deter Sha Yin, it is the way to live, and staying here for a long time to confront each other will only be a small knife bloodletting, and gradually weaken to death.

The order has been resolutely arranged, but I don't know how much combat power Yu Shinobi can continue to follow Sanshoyu Hanzo himself to fight Konoha again.

With the endless drizzle, Sansho fish Hanzo began to suffer from gains and losses again.

"Land of Rain, when will we stop crying......"
