Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of obeying the Hokage's edict.
Although the Uchiha Fire Gate rejected the edict on the grounds of "insufficient reasons" and asked the Hokage to provide the necessary explanation for the content of the edict, it is obvious that the Uchiha, who have always acted wantonly, did not take the edict into consideration from the beginning. Keep an eye on the follow-up.
Although the Hokage's requirement is "Don't start provocations without permission", as long as you win alone, it will all be a matter of drinking three glasses of wine and laughing.
In the final analysis, it is because Konoha's governing system adopts the "jounin republican political system". Theoretically, a Jonin is the highest professional title in the Ninja Village, and the Hokage is also a member of the Jonin. Each Jonin has the right to vote to elect the Hokage and the impeachment power to remove the Hokage. In order to better maintain the ninja In order to ensure the operation of the village, he transferred part of his power to the Ninja Village, and selected among the jounin people to control this part of the power. It's just that this power only exists in theory. In fact, including the appointment of the second generation and the third generation, they are not directly nominated by the Jonin Council, but the successor Hokage is determined by a method similar to the designated successor.
The Hokage election system has been destroyed by facts, and the election terms and jounin rights have been shelved. Naturally, the ninja clan, which has contributed the vast majority of jounin seats, are not happy. In the implementation of the Ninja Village decision-making, the ninja clan, in order to safeguard their own interests, although Not everyone would dare to go head-to-head with the Hokage clan like the Uchiha clan, but it is commonplace to be obedient and defiant.
As the most powerful family in Konoha and even the ninja world, Uchiha can only obey the Hokage obediently.
"Strike first to gain the upper hand!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who led the Ninja Army composed of four detachments, quickly marched towards the northern border of the Land of Grass. Although his chest was filled with thunder and his face was as flat as a lake, this was the first time that he led the Ninja Army alone on an expedition. Although Uchiha Huomen also imparted the experience and key points of ninja combat without hesitation, but practice is still needed to connect theory with reality.
The object of practice is naturally the incoming Iwagakure advance force. In order to annihilate them all in one fell swoop, two of the four detachments deployed by Uchiha Tokumitsu are elite ninja troops composed of Uchiha family ninjas, and the other detachment is also a border defense force. His old team has arranged for the Uchiha clan and ninjas who are close to the ninja clan to infiltrate the sand, and they have firmly controlled the whole detachment; the last detachment is the support detachment, responsible for logistical supplies, field medical and other routine work.
These four detachments totaled more than 400 people, all of whom were chunin, and there were six Hyuga ninjas who took turns turning on Byakugan reconnaissance along the way to prevent the ninja army's actions from being discovered by others.
"Commander Tokumitsu, there are still about 20 kilometers to reach the border mountain town! It is expected to take 20 minutes!" Toshiki Hyuga, who is in charge of reconnaissance, reported to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Although usually in the village, the two wealthy ninja clans, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, often have conflicts and frictions, but now they are comrades who rely on life and death on the battlefield, so naturally they will not be careless.
"Yes!" Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded and said to Uchiha Nobuhiko, the guard class jounin next to him: "Nobuhiko jounin, pass the order and take cover on the spot."
Uchiha Nobuhiko nodded calmly, took out a whistle with his right hand and put it in his mouth.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
A short and rapid whistle sounded, and after a while, there was a burst of bird song all around the forest, and each detachment of ninja troops completed their concealment.
At this time, the only ones still showing up in the forest were Uchiha Tokumitsu and the two Uchiha guard squads and two Hyuga reconnaissance squads.
Uchiha Tokko looked around. The concealment of each team was pretty good, at least there were no low-level mistakes like looking at the head rather than the body.
"Kensuke Jounin, Seiji Jounin." Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his eyes to Uchiha Kensuke and Hyuga Seiji among the accompanying ninjas, "I now order you to lead your class of ninjas as an advance detachment to the border mountain city for close reconnaissance. If If there is any abnormality in the city, a notification will be sent out quickly, and if there is any abnormality, personnel will be sent back here to report."
"As you command!"
According to the intelligence stolen by the Ninja Cat Clan, about 200 of the three thousand ninja troops assembled in Iwagakure Village were transferred to the vanguard. Their combat purpose was to serve as the vanguard of Iwagakure, open up marching roads, and seize the opportunity. A mountain town on the border of the Country of Grass.
According to the marching speed of the Iwagakure advance force and the Iwagakure main formation, there is about half a day's travel time difference. In other words, the ninja army led by Uchiha Tokimitsu must quickly annihilate the Iwagakure advance force and evacuate in time within this period of time. .
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to deploy the Ninja Army fifteen kilometers away from the border mountain city, wait for Iwagakure to enter the city, and then lurk within three kilometers to launch the attack. Although this will consume more time to lurk and advance, but The gradually tightening encirclement can better cut off the information transmission of Iwagakure's advance troops, in order to achieve the purpose of silently fighting the annihilation war.
The forest was quiet, and the Konoha Ninja Army was patiently lurking around. Although Uchiha Tokko knew nothing could be done at this time, he was still somewhat nervous.
At this time, three high-pitched eagle calls came from the direction of the mountain city.
"Commander Tokimitsu, Yamashiro is confirmed to be safe!" Uchiha Nobuhiko listened carefully and compared the translation with the Herald Eagle code.
"Okay!" Uchiha Tokko nodded, "Commanders, gather together!"
"Shua——"
Four figures flashed out of the forest and knelt on one knee in front of Uchiha Tokko.
"Commander Deguang, please give me your instructions!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath, "The first Uchiha detachment, go to the east of the mountain city to lurk, the first border defense team, go to the west of the mountain city to lurk!"
"yes!"
The two detachment captains spoke various code words, and then the corresponding ninjas quickly got up and headed to the hiding place.
"The sealing team of the support detachment is preparing to clear the barrier and officially perform the spell after Iwagakure's granite head enters the city! The medical team has set up an emergency medical point on the spot and is ready for rescue!"
"yes!"
"The second Uchiha detachment, follow me to the south of the mountain city to lurk!"
"As you command!"
All deployments are as planned before going into battle.
Looking around, everyone looked excited, nervous, or indifferent. The war was about to begin. Faced with life and death, no one could really remain calm.
"Gentlemen..." Uchiha Tokko paused, "I wish you victory!"
"Hai!"
…
The time of lurking and waiting is always difficult, especially when you are hiding in a den.
Uchiha Tokumitsu, like his subordinate Ninja Army, suppressed their inner frenzy and quietly waited for Iwagakure's arrival.
"Commander Tokumitsu, send the order from the front, Iwagakure is here!" Hinata Toshiki next to him stared with his eyes, paying attention to the order signal from the front.
Since it is still fifteen kilometers away from the city, the Byakugan cannot observe directly, so multiple Hyuga ninjas rely on the Byakugan to pass information one by one between the approaching reconnaissance and lurking troops.
"Well, there's no rush." Uchiha Tokko licked his lips and forcibly controlled the urge to open his Sharingan.
"Have everyone in Iwagakure entered the city?"
"We are checking and confirming at the front."
"Okay." Uchiha Tokumitsu simply replied.
"Iwagakure has entered the city! It is confirmed that there are no special people accompanying the army! And the city walls have not yet been deployed!" Hinata Toshiki reported the first-line intelligence.
"Send the order! Each unit will lurk and advance twelve kilometers in ten minutes, and wait for my order to launch an attack!" Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Uchiha Nobuhiko.
"yes!"
The guard squad dispersed and sneaked to notify the lurking troops in the east and west of the city. After a while, the sound of insects came back.
"Commander De Guang, all ministries have received the message!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu took out his pocket watch and saw that the time was right.
"Advance stealthily!"
"yes!"
"Is the clearing barrier ready?"
"Commander Tokuguang, the sealing squad is ready!"
"Okay, go to the predetermined location and wait for my order!"
"yes!"
"Where's the medical class?"
"Command by De Guang, the medical team's field hospital has been set up and all personnel are in place, and the ambulance team is also ready."
"good!"
As the various units lurked forward, the sounds of insects came and went, and code words came and went to communicate information with each other.
"Commander Tokimitsu, all units have arrived at the preset location." Uchiha Nobuhiko, who had been listening carefully, analyzed the insect code and said.
"Okay!" Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sharingan could no longer be suppressed, and the three magatama emerged from the pupils, spinning faster and faster.
The world of the Sharingan was a blood-red scene. At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was extremely manic and urgently needed a bloody battle to vent his anger.
"Attack in ten minutes!" Uchiha Tokumitsu took another deep breath and began to lurk towards the preset location.
"yes!"
…
A ninja eagle shot into the sky like a sharp arrow from the grass, and the rapid hawk cry shocked the sky and stopped the clouds.
"attack!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to jump up from his hiding position and rush to the mall three kilometers away.
"Uchiha! Wansheng!"
The ninjas of the second Uchiha detachment shouted together and stood up to charge.
Uchiha Nobuhiko, who is a guard class ninja, followed closely beside Uchiha Tokumitsu with a whistle in his mouth.
"Empty Barrier!"
A blue sky covered the mountain city.
Clearance Barrier is a relatively useless sealing barrier. Its main function is to prevent flying birds from taking off in the barrier area. It has no attack power and cannot control large flying ninja beasts. However, under certain conditions, it can isolate and release flying ninjas. The role of the eagle in conveying information.
"Throw your ninja tool to cover!"
"Beep-beep-"
Rapid brass whistles sounded one after another.
Then clouds of shurikens and kunai were shot at the mountain city.
"Wind Escape·Big Storm!"
The ninja troops attacking from three sides all used ninjutsu to extend the range of the thrown ninja tools.
Ninja's footsteps were fast, and he was only 1.5 kilometers away from the mountain city.
Iwagakure in the mountain city did not expect to be attacked so soon, and there was a chaos. Some people jumped on the wall and tried to fight. Some people released the ninja eagle but couldn't take off due to the barrier. Some people tried to form seals and cast spells but were flying around. The ninja tool interrupts.
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"
Earth walls rose from the ground one after another and were piled up to the edge of the city wall.
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!" Iwagakure in the city tried to block the offensive of the Konoha ninja army, but the summoned earth spear was interrupted by the Konoha Jonin who led the charge.
"Fire Release: The Art of Fire Dragon!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu used a fire escape ninjutsu to hit the city wall not far away. On the wall, five Iwagakure were panicking and preparing to form seals.
"boom!"
The fierce explosion from the fire escape disrupted Iwagakure's formation.
"kill!"
In the east and south of the mountain city, the wolf-like Uchiha ninjas have successfully entered the city, and the attacking troops in the west are fighting with ninjutsu.
Now that they have entered the city, this is the Uchiha's favorite moment of melee.
Uchiha Tokumitsu used the teleportation technique and flashed in front of an Iwagakure. The panicked Iwagakure raised his kunai and was about to resist. Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sharingan eye flashed red: "Magic Narakumi no Jutsu!"
A simple illusion, driven by the Sharingan, fascinated Iwagakure for a moment, but before he could show his panic, the huge head was chopped off by Uchiha Tokko.
Looking around, the Uchihas were overwhelming, and the Iwagakure who had lost their organization were easily divided, surrounded, and killed.
The border defense detachment that attacked the western city wall also successfully entered the city.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's attack adopted the tactic of surrounding three buildings. There was a detachment in the east, west, and south to attack. The north was used as an escape route for Iwagakure's panic. No ninja troops were deployed. This also accelerated Iwagakure's attack. collapse.
Once a sudden attack with numerical superiority is successful, if there is no top expert to rescue the siege, it can basically be said that the situation of the battle is decided.
Uchiha Tokko shook off the blood on his sword and continued to attack.
