"The color of this ship is not good, the paint must be changed to black!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood at the Midway dock and pointed to the three ironclad ships at sea.

These three ships are the first finished products of the secret shipbuilding base of the Vortex Country, and they are made of iron and armor, but the power is still a relatively primitive combination of sails and oars.

It stands to reason that this level of power and armor would not be of much use to a single ninja with strong combat power, but the Uchiha Tokumitsu still conceived something different.

At the request of Uchiha Tokumitsu, researcher Uzumaki set up a perception barrier on the ship, which was used to sense the fog hidden ninjas who were lurking underwater; Traditional ballistas were also converted into torpedoes with special detonators, which could be used to attack underwater enemies.

In terms of power, although the traditional sail is still used, after the transformation of the Uzumaki researchers, a wind escape blower has been added as an auxiliary power system, so that the basic wind escape ninjutsu gale palm can be used for acceleration.

As a result, the ironclad ships, which were originally of the medieval level, had attack methods similar to those of modern warships in terms of attack methods.

Although there is a lack of direct attack weapons such as artillery, it doesn't matter, ninjas are the toughest turrets.

“…… Black livery, that's fine. ”

The Uchiha ninja, who was in charge of the ship's construction and sea trials, wiped the sweat from his forehead and decided to compromise.

Today, the livery of the ship is still a combination of the traditional red of the Uchiha clan and the gray used by ships at sea, but since the lord has clearly requested it, the black is black.

"Lord Deguang, since the ship has been successfully tested, why don't you name it by the way~"

The other ninja immediately picked up and said.

Sycophants!

The Uchiha ninja in charge of ship engineering immediately glared angrily at him, and looked sideways at this arrogant man who was so bold as to snatch his own sycophant opportunity.

“…… Xianghui is forbearing! ”

It was Kae Uzumaki who spoke, one of the squire ninjas of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the only female ninja from the Uzumaki clan in the squire.

Although she was born in the side line, after moving into Konoha, because the Uzumaki clan opened the inheritance of sealing to all the surviving clansmen, she quickly showed her talent, and was recommended by the Konoha sealing class as a special shinobi who specializes in sealing techniques; When Uchiha Tokumitsu recruited ninjas of various races to fight, it was Uzumaki Reina who personally recommended him to Uchiha Tokumitsu's command.

"I can't mess with ......"

The Uchiha ninja in charge of ship engineering is just a special shinobi with relatively low strength, and it is only because of a little research on mechanical techniques that he got the current position of shipbuilding supervisor, and naturally he is not willing to compete with this kind of character with a deep background.

"Ship Naming......"

As soon as he said this, Uchiha Tokumitsu's interest came.

His key spirit is starting to burn!

"The first ...... Free Trade Number! ”

"Good name!"

I don't know if I heard what Uchiha Tokumitsu said clearly, Kahui Uzumaki didn't wait for Uchiha Tokumitsu's words to fall, and immediately clapped her hands.

The traditional naming rules for ships in the ninja world are generally based on place names or names of historical figures, and a few will also use the names of the builders or shipowners, such as Uchiha Tokumitsu, which uses a combination of two awkward-sounding words.

But as soon as the monarch said it, it was a good name recognized by the world.

"The second ship is called the Ninja Will."

The ninjas of the three tribes of the Fog Hidden Clan bowed deeply.

What a pleasure it is to take the Shinobi Will battleship to kill back to the sad land of the three clans, the Land of Water!

The hearts of the ninjas of the three clans are filled with a desire for revenge on the eve of revenge.

"The third ship's words ......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it Fuba Seiyi!" ”

Needless to say, this is once again showing his subordinates their determination to conquer the fog and conquer the land of water.

At this point, the affairs of the ninja armament war are basically ready, and as long as the ironclad ship finishes changing its livery and filling it, it can set sail for an expedition to the land of water and the village of the Fog Hidden Ninja.

……

In terms of the land of water, the daimyo is naturally unwilling to be bullied by the ninja leader of a mere Konoha ninja village - even the Uchiha clan, the most powerful family in the ninja world, is just a barbarian race that can only use force to indulge in killing.

However, because the Daimyo's attitude changed too much before and after the incident of the Misty Hide's extermination of the clan, it caused Mizukage's extreme dissatisfaction, so in the face of this war set off by Uchiha Tokumitsu, Mizukage simply announced that the northwest would protect each other and not participate in the war conflict in the Eastern Islands.

Although this move also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Blood Mist faction in the first line of Mizukage, who thought that it was a move to lose power and humiliate the village, but under the pressure of Mizukage's bullets, the headquarters of the Mist Ninja Village still chose to stand still, and let the elder group jump up and down because they were unwilling to draw factional ninjas to form a ninja army to fight.

This is simply a major blow to the daimyo of the land of water, like five thunderbolts.

It is no surprise that the third generation of Mizukage is the number one powerhouse in the land of water, and this high-status number one powerhouse actually tears his face and chooses to ignore the call of the daimyo and sit back and watch the attack of the enemy ninja army, which is simply ......

"Shame!"

The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water.

The daimyo could no longer maintain his previous Yonghua calmness, and angrily grabbed the jade seal that he usually loved and smashed it at the newly returned messenger Konoe Atsuji.

Before Mizukage's anger subsided, Uchiha Tokumitsu's armistice conditions were like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting the already angry Daimyo.

Atsushi Konoe stubbornly took the smashing blow of the Daimyo, and also caught the jade seal with his hand, so that it would not fall to the ground and shatter.

"Even a mere ninja dares to make such a big statement!"

The daimyo said coldly.

Atsushi Konoe didn't say a word, nor did he wipe the blood from his forehead, but just maintained a kneeling posture with his head hooked.

Seeing this, the daimyo couldn't reprimand him any more.

"Get out!"

Hearing this, Atsushi Konoe gently placed the jade seal in his hand on the ground, wiped off the stained bloodstains, and then kowtowed again before retreating respectfully and leaving the hall.

The attitude was so respectful that the daimyo really had nothing to say.

"Atsushi Konoe has been transferred to Nakayan."

After the departure of Atsushi Konoe, the daimyo issued an edict to the chamberlain.

"I also sent a letter to the daimyo of the four major countries on the mainland......"

Daimyo's tone was unusually cold, "Since the family dog is disobedient, then it should be let the dog eat the dog!" ”

After sending a letter to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire replied with the suggestion that the two countries join forces to contact the daimyo of the other three major countries to jointly put pressure on the ninja villages in their respective countries in order to suppress the expansion of the ninja clan's power, and form a coalition to strangle the forces of the Uchiha clan scattered throughout the ninja world.

But the Daimyo of the Land of Water has never made up his mind.

Because the consequence of the change of the Fog Hidden Clan was that the Fog Hidden Village was close to complete splitting, a large number of ninjas began to resist, and even the Blood Mist Sect, which was secretly supported, no longer obeyed the orders of the Daimyo.

It was precisely in the case of reluctance that the daimyo chose to win over the Fog Hidden Elder Group.

It's just that the performance of the elder group is really unsatisfactory.

However, in the face of the humiliating armistice conditions that Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the envoy to bring back, although the daimyo did not show much indignation, he could not control the killing intent of the Uchiha clan in his heart.

The chamberlain quickly wrote two edicts, and after presenting the seal of the daimyo, he hurriedly withdrew from the palace.

"Even if it doesn't work, at most it will be a loss of some money, and it's not a big deal......

After the chamberlain left, the daimyo, who was still apprehensive, secretly comforted himself.

……

In the face of the increasingly tense situation, although the Elder Group of Fog Hidden tried their best to lay out a defensive line, they still felt that they were left and right.

In the case of all-out search for factional ninjas, the elder group has squeezed out the ninja force of up to 5,000 people to the extreme.

It's just that the lower ninja used to make up the number accounts for the absolute majority.

And this seemingly powerful and actually bloated ninja army still needs to be sent to the Daimyo's Mansion to garrison it, in order to prevent the shogunate from directly attacking the Daimyo's Mansion from the sea.

And the Daimyo Mansion alone, two thousand elite ninja troops were dispatched.

Helpless, the Elder Corps had no choice but to ask Mizukage for support, and after paying a small price, in exchange for a Misty Ninja Army led by Goji Yakura.

Although the ninja army of Goji Yakura was not stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, they were stationed in the county town north of the Daimyo's Mansion, so if anything changed, they would be able to support them in time.

However, in addition to the western and northern islands, which were privately protected and divided with the support of Mizukage, the southern islands of, the daimyo prefecture, and the eastern islands, which had been ransacked by the ninjas of the three clans, were also deployed, and it was almost impossible for the remaining 3,000 ninja troops to control such a wide coastline.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the fiasco of the defense line being easily broken by hundreds of shogunate ninja troops, the elder group transferred nearly 1,000 ninjas from the 3,000 ninja army to form a support force, so that when the shogunate ninja army attacked, it could support the defense lines in time, and at the same time actively shrink and "strategically abandon" some unimportant sea areas.

After a variety of operations, the defense line that the elders had painstakingly arranged finally took shape with difficulty.

It's just that the imaginary shogunate ninja has never come.

……

Of course, the Shogunate ninja will no longer target the Eastern Islands!

In the last raid war, the nobles of the Eastern Islands have been looted by the Shogunate Ninja Army, and the main nobles have been almost killed, even if they fall again, they will not be able to squeeze out any oil and water, and Uchiha Tokumi will continue to choose the Eastern Islands to log in when he is full.

He also has to rely on the war capture to make up for the shortfall in the hiring of the Sanshoyu Hanzo and the Rain Ninja Army!

Therefore, the goal of this battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu set the target of the attack to be the Daimyo Mansion of the Water Country.

In the land of fire, the Kamiraksu achievement that could not be achieved due to various scruples, Uchiha Tokumitsu intends to complete it in the land of water. The plundering area of the ninja army was directly aimed at the southern islands of the water country of, the daimyo prefecture.

The core problem to achieve this tactic is how to conceal the whereabouts of the huge fleet at sea, and at the same time, in order to mislead the defending Mist Ninja Army, it is necessary to launch an effective feint attack in the Eastern Islands to contain and disperse the forces of the Mist Ninja Army.

Therefore, even if the ninja army under his command minded being ready, Uchiha Tokumitsu still patiently sent a small detachment composed of the three tribes of the Misty Hidden Clan to lurk in the territory of the Water Country to collect intelligence, and was not in a hurry to attack.

As the core of the battle, Sanshoyu Hanzo felt that the waiting time was very boring, and he was also a little worried about the situation in the Land of Rain, but on the premise that Uchiha Tokumitsu's employment was based on daily billing, he didn't say much, but just asked the officials of the shogunate to circle a forbidden sea area as their training ground, and went to the training ground for self-training in their spare time.

In addition to training, Sanshoyu Hanzo was also amazed by the financial resources displayed by the Uchiha clan.

He just casually asked Uchiha Tokumitsu for some special detonation charms with waterproof properties to be used to improve the Fire Escape Secret Technique and Detonation Flame Array, but Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand and asked people to send him 10,000 detonation charms produced by the Uchiha clan, and said that the number was not enough and he would allocate another one.

With such a big hand, even Hanzo, who is the head of the ninja village, has never enjoyed it.

It's not that I can't afford to buy and use it, but for the poor Yunin Village, every useful material is precious, and Sanshoyu Hanzo really can't bear to squander it like this.

But the results of the splurge were immediate.

Uchiha Tokumitsu once shared some of the mysteries of the Mutual Multiplication Detonation Charm and the Flying Talisman Array with Sanshoyu Hanzou at the "Discussion of the Way", which inspired him to improve his ninjutsu.

The original Detonator Array uses a mine-like trigger mechanism, which requires a large number of detonation charms to be buried underground in advance, and then detonated after the enemy enters the ambush area.

However, after improvement, the Sansho Fish Hanzo combined with psychic skills to make the small Sansho Fish of the contract psychic beast group carry a large number of detonation charms to lurk underground, which can realize the burial of the detonation charm at the enemy's feet with a small movement, so as to achieve rapid directional blasting.

Although the dexterity is not as good as the Uchiha Tokumitsu's multiplication detonation charm, it has another unique aspect of concealment.

"Sure enough, money and resources are the first important thing in ninja practice......

After completing the ambush and detonation process of the detonation flame array again, Sanshoyu Hanzo wrote the experience of casting the spell into the scroll, and sighed in his heart.

It turns out that the number one ninja family in the ninja world is actually so rich!

With so many resources to support, coupled with the power of bloodline inheritance, it is no wonder that the ninja army of the Uchiha clan was able to dominate the territory without defeat in the Second Ninja World War.

This time accepting the employment is also an eye-opener!

Suddenly, Hanzo's ears moved slightly.

A figure shot from behind and landed on a reef behind him.

"Hanzo-sama!"

The person who came was none other than Yushinobi's Yutian Shangnin.

"What's the matter?"

Sanshoyu Hanzo turned around, his eyes hidden in his gas mask silently looking at his subordinates in shogunate attire.

And what made him feel most unhappy was the shiny Uchiha fan logo on Yuda's forehead.

Although the change of forehead guard was for the purpose of concealing his identity, Sanshoyu Hanzo still felt very unhappy.

"Lord Tokumitsu is going to hold a pre-war meeting, please come along."

Yuda said respectfully.

"Finally ......"

Hanzo snorted, put away the scythe that had been set aside, and returned to Midway Island with a teleportation technique.

……

"Codename of this operation: Knock!"

In the headquarters of the Midway ninja army, Uchiha Tokumitsu officially announced the battle plan.

After the continuous reconnaissance of the spies of the three tribes of the Fog Hide, the details of the Fog Hidden Ninja Army have been almost touched by the shogunate, and even the loopholes in the defense line are clearly marked on the map.

"The first, second, and third detachments of the Eastern Border Defense Force are responsible for the feint mission of the Eastern Islands, and the fourth detachment is responsible for mobile response!"

"Yes!"

The four detachment leaders raised their heads.

"The 1st Red Reserve Brigade, the Kaguya Column, and the 500 Ninja Army of the Rain Ninja have launched a frontal attack from the Southern Islands!"

"Obey orders!"

"The rest of the ninja army troops will go with me!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu stared at the scarlet chakra eyes and glanced at his subordinates one by one.

As far as the eye could see, everyone straightened their chests and greeted Uchiha Tokumitsu's scrutiny in the most energetic state.

"Combat Target: The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu threw out a kunai, right in the middle of the map where the Daimyo's Mansion was located.

"This battle is the shogunate vs. ninja village, please do your best to win!"

The Uchiha Tokumitsu swore an oath: "In the name of the Uchiha clan, I will never treat all those who are loyal to the shogunate!" ”

"Die for the Lord!"

Surprisingly, the first one to get up and bow down was Hinata Shuhiro Shinobi, who was born in Hinata's separate family.

"Die for the Lord!"

Immediately, all the responsible ninjas in the hall bowed to the ground.

Only Uchiha Tokumitsu and Sanshoyu Hanzo maintain a standing stance.

Witnessing this scene, Sanshoyu Hanzo's heart was also surging.

Among the ninjas kneeling in front of them, many of them were still from the rain ninja, but they just changed into shogunate clothes.

Is the charm of money really that great......

"Mr. Hanzo......"

After Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted everyone, he smiled and said to Sanshoyu Hanzo, "The next war is the time for you and me to fight side by side. ”

Sanshoyu Hanzo didn't know what to do, so he stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly.

……

On October 5, the 37th year of Konoha, the Tokuko shogunate once again launched a large-scale offensive against the land of water.

The southern and eastern islands of the Water Country are full of wolf smoke, and the Fog Hidden Ninja Army is exhausted.

On October 10, under the cover of dozens of small warships, three black-painted ironclad ships quietly appeared in the early hours of the morning in the open sea not far from the port outside the Daimyo Mansion of the Water Country, under the cover of enchantment, and launched a surprise attack.

Later history called this event the Black Ship Knock.

The Battle for the Rise of the Shogunate has officially begun!
