In the first expedition to the land of water, Uchiha Tokumitsu threw nearly 700 ninja troops to the front line, and he was very satisfied with the results.

Under the leadership of the familiar ninja of the Fog Hidden Ninja Clan, the wolf pack offensive was a complete success.

The best proof of this is the loot piled up at Midway.

After the golden cuties are piled up, the brilliant light emitted by the sunlight is so intoxicating.

"Excellent! Very good! ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close his mouth.

The first shipment of loot alone was more than enough to offset the cost of waging war.

Coupled with the large amount of loot in the follow-up, after the rewards of the ninjas who participated in the war were issued, Uchiha Tokumitsu could still have a large amount of gold judgment in the account.

Although he didn't pursue much wealth, wealth still poured into Uchiha Tokumitsu's small treasury.

"What a wonderful world ......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu grabbed a handful of golden judgments and scattered them between his fingers.

Fall back on the pile of golden judgments and play a crisp jingle movement.

This pile of gold sentences is more than smuggling!

"Aristocrat...... It's so rich! ”

Even the acolyte ninja from the Uzumaki clan was deeply shocked when he looked at the shocking pile of small gold mountains in front of him.

The wealth hidden by the nobles in their private cellars is nowhere to be hidden in front of the white-eyed ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and whether the nobles are willing to confess the location of the buried treasure or not, their fate is ruined.

"Let's make a register!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu instructed: "First take back the shogunate's treasury, and then find a few photographers to come and take a few photos and send them to the wealthy merchants who have bought our special bonds for the development of the east!" ”

"Yes!"

The squire ninja immediately received the order.

"Send an order to the Kaguya Column, let them withdraw the attack team, and concentrate their forces to prepare for sniping the reinforcements of the Fog Hide!"

Immediately, Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered again.

The Shogunate ninja army, with the Kaguya clan as the leader of the column, was the largest one.

Uchiha Tokumitsu also joined a number of Uchiha ninjas and Hyuga white-eyed ninjas in this ninja army.

Their area of operations is on the main road leading to the Eastern Islands from the main island of the Water Country, making it an excellent ambush area.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart is not big, and he is very satisfied with being able to annihilate three or five hundred fog hidden ninjas after this battle.

"Yes!"

One of the attendant ninjas immediately stood up and blew in, and after receiving the order, quickly wrote a secret letter and released a communication ninja eagle.

"There are also the first and second detachments of the Eastern Border Defense Force, which should also be ready."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said again.

Relying on the shogunate ninja army to be responsible for sniping and sending reinforcements, Uchiha Tokumitsu is still not very relieved.

So he reassembled two detachments of the border army as a reserve, and also transferred them to Midway.

"The ninja army in the headquarters is ready."

The attendant ninja replied respectfully.

"That's good......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded.

……

At this time, the land of water was already full of wolves, and wars were endless.

The 700 or so Tokumitsu Shogunate ninja soldiers who participated in the war turned all the shipping routes of the Water Country and the Eastern Islands upside down.

And this is also because the fog is hidden out of the inertia of thinking, misjudging that Uchiha Tokumitsu's subordinates will attack from the nearby southern or western seas, so the deployment force in the eastern islands is relatively small.

Moreover, the ninjas who were deployed at that point were drawn from their own territory by the nobles in various names to serve as guards, resulting in the inability to organize a decent counterattack force when the shogunate ninja attacked.

What's more, there are many like the ninja in the fog, after a little struggle in the face of acquaintances, they draw a horizontal mark on their foreheads, and after putting on a mask, they join the burning and looting of the shogunate ninja army without any psychological obstacles.

Fog Hidden Ninja, the nobles of the country of bitter water have been around for a long time!

In the face of battle reports coming from all directions, even the Fog Hidden Elder Group, who was in charge of the deployment of the ninja army, was numb.

After the three generations of Mizukage launched a rebellion to exterminate the clan, the elder group immediately launched an impeachment in the name of "killing the ninjas of the same village", and wrested part of the control of the ninja army from the hands of the three generations of Mizukage.

With the intelligence that Uchiha Tokumitsu took in the remnants of the three clans and prepared to counterattack the land of water, at the invitation of the daimyo of the country of water, the elders of the fog echoed positively and sent all the ninja troops under their control to various parts of the country of water to be armed, and at the same time received a large amount of money from the daimyo.

They originally thought that according to the traditional ninja combat method, Uchiha Tokumitsu would slowly build ships and form a fleet, and then train for water warfare, and finally the large army went north to have a dignified battle with the fog hidden ninja army.

According to the intelligence, Uchiha Tokumitsu has built a shipyard in the old land of Vortex no Kuni, and several new warships are being tested, which proves their idea.

If you follow the battle style envisioned by the Fog Hidden Elders, Fog Hide actually has a great chance of winning.

After all, except for the ninjas of the three tribes of the Fog Hidden Clan and the hired half-hung water battle rain ninjas, the elite ninja army under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu, especially the Uchiha ninja army leaning on the Great Wall, is actually not suitable for fighting at sea.

Even if you forcibly assemble for battle, you may be surrounded and annihilated by the Fog Hidden army at sea under the skillful water warfare skills and numerical superiority.

So, a few of the more optimistic Elders of the Fog Hide were already discussing the ownership of Uchiha Tokumitsu's kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes in the Council of Elders.

In addition, the three generations of Mizukage after being impeached have rarely remained silent recently, ignoring all kinds of small actions of the elder group, which has fueled the arrogance of the elders.

But in the face of Uchiha Tokumitsu's fierce attack, they collectively sat on the wax again.

The war information came from all directions, and they couldn't tell how many ninja troops the shogunate had sent to attack.

Not to mention finding the main force of the Shogunate Ninja Army for a decisive battle, at this time, not only were the waterways between the islands sunk a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships by the small Shogunate forces attacking, but even the Eastern Islands had lost contact with the Fog Hidden Headquarters!

The most infuriating thing is that they also tried to wipe out the shogunate ninja army that attacked merchant ships in the waterway, but no matter how many ninja troops were dispatched, they were easily dodged by the shogunate ninja who were as slippery as loaches, and they didn't even have a chance to fight.

"The ninja army of the Tokumitsu shogunate should all be equipped with white-eyed ninjas......"

After all, the Great Elder of the Fog Hidden still has some knowledge, and based on the recent report of the failure of the purge, he deduced the personnel of the Tokuko Shogunate.

"White-eyed ......"

The group of Fog Hidden Elders gritted their teeth.

In the face of the white eyes, no matter what kind of traps and ambushes are useless, only by relying on luck or relying on numbers to surround the entire sea area and pull the net to clear them can they have a chance to catch them.

But the ninja army in the hands of the elder group was not enough to support such a huge purge plan.

"Let's think about how to recover the Eastern Islands!"

A Misty Hidden Elder knocked on the table in distraught, "Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to His Highness the Daimyo!" ”

"The east should be gone......"

Another Fog Hidden Elder sighed and said, "Not a single news of the ninja army sent to garrison in the past has come back, it may be that it was annihilated by Tokumitsu's attack on the ninja army in the first place......

"And so many fiefdom nobles have fallen under the sword of Uchiha Tokumitsu......"

Another Fog Hidden Elder sighed and said, "In the future, the Eastern Islands will not be able to find the source of the mission......

"Ask Mizukage-sama for help!"

An Elder Kigakure, who was sitting in the corner, suggested, "With the ninja army in our hands alone, we may not be able to deal with Tokumitsu's shogunate......"

"What are you talking about! Are you still a dignified Fog Hidden Elder? Shame on you! ”

As soon as the words fell, an elder jumped up on the other side and shouted, "Elder Fin! Do you think that our 5,000 ninja army is still unequal to those Uchiha rangers! ”

"We don't even know how many ninja troops the Tokumitsu shogunate has sent to attack!"

Elder Fog Yin couldn't hold back any longer, and also jumped up, "Even the small group of shogunate ninja troops in the central and western waterways can't be wiped out, how many more ninja troops can we send to fight in the east!" ”

"There were slightly fewer ninja troops deployed in various places, and those shogunate ninja troops who were wandering around the perimeter of the waterway immediately came ashore to attack! In this way, there is neither intelligence nor main force, what else can we fight! ”

And this is the subtlety of Uchiha Tokumitsu's wolf pack offensive.

With the assistance of the familiar ninjas of the three clans of the Fog Hidden Clan, the waterways in the Land of Water are simply like entering a no-man's land, and there is no need to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the Fog Hidden Ninja Army stationed in the country of water.

Even how many ninjas were sent by the attacking force, the Fog Hidden Elders still couldn't figure it out.

But this did not prevent the Elders of the Fog Hidden from going from verbal conflicts to full-fledged martial arts in a short period of time.

"Enough!"

The Great Elder of Mist Yin, whose face was getting darker and darker, couldn't hold back any longer.

Since the death of Master Yuan, he has taken over as the Grand Elder of the Elder Regiment.

It's just that the prestige and power still can't be compared with when the Yuan Master was alive, and the control of the elders is much more relaxed, and there is no way to do it at all.

Even the elders can't be held accountable for messing up some things, otherwise they will inevitably usher in endless verbal and written criticism from their comrades.

And during the tactical discussion of the elder group, the various shortcomings of the Fog Hidden Elder Group that were exposed gave him a headache.

Without intelligence, there is no tactical arrangement.

After the garrison ninja army is contained, it is difficult to transfer additional personnel to form a ninja army, and if there is no ninja army, how can we talk about recovering the eastern islands.

"We are discussing how to deal with the crisis of war, don't be too outrageous......"

As soon as they heard this question again, the Fog Hidden Elders pretended to be deaf and dumb again.

"Why don't you let Mizukage-sama's shadows provide information......"

At this time, another Misty Hidden Elder interjected, "Otherwise, we don't even know how many ninja troops we will draw and which waterway to march from.

"Then let's decide this for now......"

The Great Elder of the Fog Yin pressed his temples and sighed.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are

If you don't command the army, you don't know how difficult it is to command.

The Elders of the Fog Hidden Army have been away from the command of the ninja army for too long, coupled with the changes of the times, the tactics and tactics of the ninja army are changing with each passing day, and the old guys have gradually failed to keep up with the trend of the times.

Although the other faction, which claimed to be "always tough on the Mizukage", was dissatisfied, it still acquiesced to the proposal of the Great Elder Mist.

Although they are fighting for power and profit, although they have the courage to fight inwardly and are cowardly in public war, and although they are outdated with the times, they are a member of the ninja village elders after all, and at least they can still distinguish between good and bad.

"How can the ninja army of the headquarters be drawn to fight?"

The venue was silent for a long time, and Elder Fog Yin took the initiative to break the dull pattern.

“…… The defense area will be handed over to Mizukage-sama, and our ninja army will go to recover the east! ”

The Great Elder of the Fog Hidden was also silent for a while before speaking slowly.

It's a tough choice.

Finally, taking the opportunity of the shogunate's attack, with the cooperation of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, the territory in his hands was not hot, and he had to hand it over, and he had to take the ninja army to fight those vicious Uchiha to the death.

And after the Eastern Islands reconquest, no matter whether they win or lose, with the strength of the Elder Order, they will no longer be able to take back these territories from Mizukage.

This is equivalent to the Daimyo of the Land of Water and the Elder Group of Fog Hidden Elders teaming up to make a beautiful wedding dress for the three generations of Mizukage, and they have to ask someone to accept it with a smile.

There is a high probability that the only thing that can be exchanged is the intelligence support of the fog hidden shadows, and at most the cannon fodder and eyeliner that Mizukage stuffed over casually.

"It's a big loss......"

Another Fog Hidden Elder spoke out to everyone.

"Knock knock!"

There was a hurried knock on the door outside the meeting room of the Elders.

"Come in!"

The Great Elder of the Mist Hidden closed his eyes tiredly.

This knocking rhythm has been heard a lot these days, and not once has there been good news.

Either a city was destroyed, or a port was burned, or how many fleets were burned......

All in all, it's bad news.

"Good day Great Elder, good day Elder!"

After a misty shinobi entered the door, he respectfully greeted the elders.

"There is an urgent letter from the Daimyo's Mansion to send ......"

"Give it to me!"

The Great Elder of the Fog Concealment took the letterhead with a gloomy face and quickly flipped through it.

Then his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip.

"Sekihaku was killed by the Shogunate's Rain Ninja mercenaries......"

The Great Elder of the Fog Hidden was a little desperate.

Guan Bai is not only the head of the Wenchen of the Water Country, but also the younger brother of the Daimyo, and one of the hottest nobles in the Water Country, and he is also the gold lord who supports the Elder Group and the Water Shadow to sing the duet.

"Lord Sekihaku led the government army to try to encircle and annihilate a group of shogunate ninja troops who came ashore, but they encountered an accident......"

The despair of the Great Elder of the Fog Hidden also lies in the fact that Lord Guan Bai, who is the supreme minister of the Water Country, actually does not even have an understanding of combat effectiveness, and dares to lead his troops to fight against the ninja army.

Doesn't he know how many of the Fire Country's elite government troops were killed by Uchiha Tokumitsu when the Fire Nation attacked the county town to persecute the Daimyo?

How can he be so brave!

When the fog hidden elders heard this, they immediately became uneasy.

"No choice ......"

Elder Fog Yin laughed miserably.

Guan Bai is dead, and the Fog Hidden Elder Group has no way to retreat at all.

"Rain Shinobi! Despicable rain ninja! ”

A Fog Hidden Elder suddenly let out a terrible cry as if he was crazy, "You actually dare to kill Guan Bai!" How dare they! Lord Guan Bai is the most honorable minister! ”

The elders were restless.

"I'm going to find Mizukage-sama......"

The Great Elder of the Fog Hidden stood up and said. "All the defense areas are handed over, let's go to the east!"

After a pause, the Great Elder of the Fog Concealment left the conference room without looking back.

The political pattern of Kirigakure is a reference to the chaos at the end of the Nara period of Koichi, and in order to make it look more reasonable, it is also moderately beautified on the basis of real history, otherwise it would be too absurd
