Chapter 166: Besieging the Temple of Fire

In order to disguise their true purpose, the mission of the fog still signed a temporary truce with Konoha .

Yes, truce only.

Although after the defeat of the Fog Hidden on the mainland, there was no longer a battle between the two sides, but the Fog Hidden side was still unwilling to admit defeat like this, let alone pay reparations, not to mention that Konoha had no way to attack the Water Country.

As for Konoha, although the Hokage intends to end the state of war with Kirigakure, Kigakure has always been unwilling to let go in terms of compensation, and there is also pressure to repay the bonds, so the three generations of apes Fei Hizai do not want to let go and achieve unconditional peace with Kigakure for the time being.

The bigger resistance, of course, is the reluctance of the hardliners, led by the Uchiha clan, to sign a peace agreement without compensation.

Although the smuggling business between the Uchiha clan and the Kirikin ninja clan is thriving, it is only a "normal dealing" between the ninja clan, and it should not be confused with the official affairs of the village.

Moreover, the longer the state of war is maintained, the longer the connection between the Land of Water and the People of Fire will be cut off, which will naturally be more conducive to the smuggling trade of the ninja tribes of the two villages.

Even after the signing of the armistice, the Kirishin ninja clan reached a verbal agreement with Uchiha Tokumitsu in private to jointly crack down on illegal shipping, and both sides strictly inspected domestic ports and shipping routes in the name of 'prohibiting the enemy', and resolutely cracked down on idle ships that were not within the smuggling system to go to sea, so as not to damage the smuggling interests of both sides.

……

Two days have passed since the three-day ultimatum that Tokumitsu Uchiha gave to the daimyo at the meeting.

And after the Daimyo's envoy, Dr. Asakura, left Konoha and returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, there was no news of Konoha again.

But playing dead won't solve the problem.

The cautious Uchiha Tokumitsu is still reeling from the fact that the daimyo dared to send him accountable.

And if the Uchiha clan doesn't make some big moves, won't the cruel words that Uchiha Tokumitsu put down at the meeting become empty words?

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent a message to the northwest border and ordered the second and third teams of the Tokumitsu Red Reserve stationed in Kusanokuni to enter the territory of the Fire Country and openly march to the Waizumi Castle in, the daimyo prefecture.

And on a whim, the Great Elder also deliberately mixed it in, asking the Red Reserve Team to change into the traditional red armor of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tokumitsu, of course, fulfilled the Great Elder's COS requirements with kindness.

And Uchiha Tokumitsu transferred sixty elites from the police department, plus thirty-two ninjas of his own secret guards, to form a direct ninja army, ready to carry out deterrent strikes.

The ninja army secretly left the village through a secret passage controlled by the police department and galloped in the direction of the daimyo's mansion.

Of course, Uchiha Tokumitsu's target was not the Daimyo's Mansion, but the Fire Temple, which was not far from the Daimyo's Mansion.

As a mountain temple led by the daimyo family, the strength of the Fire Temple is not trivial, with eighteen monks with the strength of the upper ninja and dozens of warrior monks equivalent to the combat power of the middle ninja, which is equivalent to the strength of the Konoha medium-sized ninja clan.

But in front of the kaleidoscope writing wheel, the ordinary upper ninja combat power does not need to be taken into account at all, even if the contemporary five shadows are attacking, Uchiha Tokumitsu has the confidence to compete.

……

"Stop!"

As soon as the Uchiha Tokumitsu led the ninja army left the village and jumped into the dense forest, there was an angry shout behind him.

"Huh?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, so Uchiha Tokumitsu stopped.

It's Tsunade.

And Jiraiya.

"Tsunade Hihime."

Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted Tsunade, but ignored Jiraiya, who looked complicated on the side.

"What are you going to do?"

Tsunade asked in a cold voice with a cold face.

"Although Senju and Uchiha have chosen to reconcile, the relationship is not to the point where they can share secret information with each other, right?"

Uchiha Tokuba's brow jumped, and he replied in the same cold voice.

"You're going to the Daimyo's Mansion?"

Tsunade also sensed that there was something wrong with his attitude, and his tone became a little softer.

"The Uchiha does what he says."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also made his attitude clear.

"Don't you know? To do so is to undermine the system of one country and one village! It's going to provoke war! ”

Tsunade's face couldn't help but show anger, "Do you want to see the village besieged by the four great powers?" ”

"What a joke......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu has a bit of a ridiculous feeling, not long ago the two wealthy clans of Kishigaku, who were still fighting on the battlefield for life and death, took the initiative to come to the door in the hope of forming an alliance, and the four great powers can organize their respective ninja villages to besiege Konoha is the hell.

With the little guardian ninja in the hands of the daimyo of various countries, it is estimated that it is not enough for the Uchiha clan to stuff their teeth.

"Tsunadehime, times have changed......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's left hand was pressed on the scabbard, and his thumb flicked the sword again and again, "Please don't get in the way, or I won't be able to explain to Shinobu Kami......"

"You!"

The anger on Tsunade's face was even greater.

"Besides, in what capacity are you questioning me?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said softly: "You know, you are also a Konoha shinobi, and you don't have the power to govern the ninja army. ”

"Besides, maybe you don't know or don't understand...... Your teacher, the Hokage-sama of Konoha, is equally keen to attack the authority of the daimyo and curb the spread of his influence in Konoha, but in the past, things like this were done by Danzo......"

"Now that Danzo is dead and his roots are gone, he is naturally happy to see the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the daimyo become bad, isn't it~"

After saying that, Uchiha Tokumitsu's thumb flicked off the blade, revealing a sharp blade.

The Dark Guard Ninja also pressed their hands on top of their primary weapons.

Jiraiya's expression became tense.

Tsunade was unafraid.

"Ninja of the Uzumaki family!"

Tsunade's gaze fell on the Uzumaki clan among the ninjas of the police department, "Are you going to mess around with the Uchiha too!" ”

"It's a point of no return, get out of here!"

"Tsunade-hime......"

The Uzumaki ninja was silent for a while before responding: "The Uchiha is the blood alliance of the Uzumaki, and this is the covenant that the Patriarch of Ashina announced to every Uzumaki clansman!" ”

A smile also appeared on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face.

After getting the inside story of the Misty Ninja Clan's war on the destruction of the Vortex Country, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately told Uzumaki Reed.

In this way, it is not surprising that the Uzumaki clan still has even a slight affection for the daimyo of various countries.

Uchiha Tokumitsu stepped forward.

The ninja army followed.

Tsunade sighed, but finally chose to take a few steps back and get out of the way of the ninja army.

The words of the Uzumaki clan made her no longer have the heart to try to stop the actions of the Uchiha Tokumitsu's ninja army.

She was now eager to know if her teacher, the third generation of Hokage Ape Tobi Slash, had tacitly or even secretly pushed the Uchiha clan to swing his sword at the Daimyo, as Uchiha Tokumitsu said.

……

In the past, the Temple of Fire, where incense was flourishing and nobles gathered, was now full of slaughter.

The iron wall of the seal, which is said to be unbreakable, is closed.

The senior monk is leading the monks to wait for the battle.

What he wants to do is to stop the Uchiha Tokumitsu Headquarters ninja army from heading directly at the Temple of Fire, so as not to lose face for the Daimyo.

The Tokumitsu Red Reserve, which had gone south from the northwest border, had easily routed the Daimyo's army and captured a county town north of the Daimyo's Mansion, but the Daimyo, who had planned to gather his forces to go north to attack, received information about the march of the Uchiha Headquarters ninja army that had been killed from Konoha.

The daimyo is also numb.

Originally, I thought that cold treatment would be enough, but I didn't expect Uchiha Tokumitsu to really dare to wave his army to attack.

And the nobles of the Daimyo Mansion also really saw the huge difference in combat effectiveness between the ninja army and the government army in the battle of Izumi County in the north.

According to the description of the rout, the Uchiha ninja wearing the armor of the Warring States roared like a demon, ignoring the ninja army's bow and arrow and fire gun attacks, and sent out a huge fire dragon to blow up the formation of the government army.

No matter how noble the bloodline, no matter how noble the status, no matter how superb the command skills, no matter how well-trained the government army, in front of the bloodthirsty Uchiha, it is as useless as a papier-mΓ’chΓ© shield, and it is easily cut into the dust by one by one.

The high-ranking ministers woke up like a dream, as if they had just remembered that it was now the era of ninjas, and even this world had been called the "ninja world".

In the context of the Konoha ninja choosing to watch from the sidelines and unable to stop the Uchiha's troops with their own strength, the only hope of the daimyo and the ministers and nobles is that the Temple of Fire can block the Uchiha Tokumitsu's headquarters ninja army, and then after a little bit of the Uchiha ninja army's spirit, in exchange for a decent peace opportunity - the daimyo is unwilling to surrender without a fight!

As for contacting the other four great powers to launch a ninja army to "eradicate injustice", this idea turned in the mind of the daimyo, and he was forced to squeeze aside in the imminent crisis.

After all, far water can't save the near fire.

……

The Uchiha ninja army is getting closer.

The Great Monk of the Temple of Fire was standing on top of the bell tower, looking at the Uchiha ninja army who were steadily running in a formation with crane wings on his face.

The ninja army gathered around Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uchiha Secret Guard, who was dressed in light armor and carried a finger flag, reminded him of the Warring States era of endless wars and excessive killings.

At the same time, he remembered a man.

A man known as the "Ninja Shura" who rebuked the daimyo in front of him at the alliance......

"Madara Uchiha ......"

The monk was reading the nightmarish name with a sad heart.

Like the daimyo and the ministers and nobles, he never imagined that in the era after the establishment of the five major powers and the establishment of the system of one country and one village, there would be people who dared to follow the example of the lord of the Warring States period to lead his troops to Shangluo.

"Public Holy Land, the ninja army stops!"

At the behest of the great monk, a young monk was shouting towards the Uchiha ninja.

The Uchiha ninja army switched from running to marching slowly.

"The talent of the immortal clan inherited from the Temple of Suwen Fire is known as the power of suppression, and the ninja world is unparalleled, and I am here to learn it today!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to pull out the sword.

"Qiang Qiang !!"

The ninja army then drew their main weapons.

The snow-bright blade shimmered with a cold edge in the sunlight.

The monks of the Temple of Fire suddenly felt like falling into a snow cellar.

"Stop it! Uchiha! ”

The great monk had to say in person: "If you insist on going your own way, other big countries will not let you go!" ”

"Open the door!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu shouted: "Uchiha clears the wave of ninja, if you don't lift the barrier and accept the test, once the ninja army attacks, all the consequences are at your own risk!" ”

The defensive iron wall of the Temple of Fire is actually a large defensive barrier formed by the fusion of enchantment ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and the iron gate and the two stone statues are only part of the enchantment, including the sky and underground space of the Temple of Fire are actually within the shrouded defense range of the enchantment.

The face of the senior monk was even more sad.

Neither the Daimyo's orders nor the dignity of the monks of the Temple of Fire did not allow him to break the barrier and allow the ninja army to enter the temple without fighting.

His gaze was on the six red-haired ninjas with conspicuous hair in the ranks of the Uchiha ninja army.

It was a Uzumaki ninja, but at this time, they were wearing the battle vests of the police department's shinobi.

As we all know, the Uzumaki clan is the most proficient in sealing ninjutsu in the ninja world.

"The Temple of Fire is the direct leader of the Daimyo family, so please step down from Tokumitsu Kamitoshi......"

The monk is still not giving up, and he still persuaded bitterly: "It's not too late to rein in the precipice, please lead the troops to retreat, the old man will persuade the daimyo to no longer hold him accountable......"

"Hehe......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered, and the three-hooked jade in his eyes spun rapidly, turning into a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

The great monk immediately lowered his head to avoid the Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze.

"Susanoo!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't talk nonsense, and directly drummed up the chakra, extracting the pupil power and releasing it to form a huge half-body demon god.

"Boom!"

Susa Nenghu smashed the iron gate with a single punch, causing ripples and ripples in the enchantment.

The monks within the iron wall of the seal were shocked by the violent echo and turned pale.

The sticks and knives in his hands were barely able to hold.

And the great monk who maintained the sealing enchantment was even more shocked to the point that the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Still reluctant to open the door?"

Wrapped in Susanoo, the Uchiha said quietly, "If I break through the barrier, then you will suffer an old sin!" ”

Then, he controlled Susa Nenghu to punch down on the iron gate.

"Boom!"

The monk's body was shaky.

Eighteen monks hurriedly surrounded the side of the senior monk and jointly exported chakra to maintain the existence of the enchantment.

The heart of the great monk is even more miserable.

Susa Nenghu only used two punches to hammer the enchantment to the ground, and his chakra also consumed nearly half.

If only Uchiha Tokumitsu had two more punches......

This is no longer a question of whether the enchantment can be stopped, but the chakra of himself and the monks in the temple simply cannot maintain the existence of the enchantment under such a fierce attack.

What's more, the Uzumaki ninjas in the Uchiha ninja army haven't cracked it yet.

There is only one way to die.

The monk is taking the initiative to jump above the temple gate.

"How dare you show up......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised.

The monk was taking out a bottle of soldier food pills from his arms and pouring them all into his mouth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Aren't you going to see the talents of the immortal clan in the line of the Temple of Fire! ”

The face of the great monk did not have the compassion of the past, and his expression became solemn under the golden chakra released outside.

"Come to greet and kill with a thousand hands!"

A golden thousand-armed Buddha appeared in the monk's body and burst out.

The Thousand-Armed Buddha swung his golden chakra fist and struck at Susanoo.

"Susanoo Hasaka Qiongyu!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly extracted the chakra and filled it into Susanoh's body to resist the ultra-high frequency chakra fist hammer blows, and at the same time, Susanoh's right hand condensed a huge red magatama, and instead of throwing, he directly stabbed into the body of the Thousand-Armed Buddha.

"Boom!"

The sharp magatama stabbed into the body of the Thousand-Handed Buddha, provoking a huge chakra martyrdom that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The monks inside the Temple of Fire were staggered by the violent shock wave.

Splashing chakras ignited purple fireworks on the colorless barrier.

And in the ninja army behind Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uzumaki ninja quickly cast an enchantment to block the shockwave.

When the smoke cleared, Susa Nenghu maintained the posture of stabbing forward.

The Thousand-Armed Buddha has dissipated into formlessness.

The monk's body was shaky, and he couldn't stop coughing up blood on his mouth.

"If you don't lift the enchantment, don't blame me for destroying the law!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a sneer.

The monk was about to defend himself and say a few words, but when he saw the cold and murderous eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, he finally gave up.

He jumped from above the temple gate and personally pushed open the iron door of the Temple of Fire.

The seal was lifted.

"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted coldly, and also withdrew Susanoh, with a wave of his right hand, the Uchiha ninja army behind him shook his armor and rushed into the Temple of Fire with blades.

The place name of the northern county town of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire in this chapter is a direct reference to "Izumi", one of the five kis of Kyoto during the Warring States period of the East.
