Uchiha Tokumitsu's plan is very simple. Based on the intelligence, he will seize the opportunity to use more to defeat the less. After careful planning, he will be able to concentrate his strength and produce explosive output in a short period of time, destroying the enemy's resistance in one go. .
However, this seemingly simple raid plan has several higher requirements. First, the intelligence must be accurate, otherwise it will be a wolf in the tiger's mouth; second, the raid force must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to defeat the enemy in a short time; third, The information blockade must be in place so that the enemy does not have the opportunity to leak information and ask for reinforcements.
Like right now.
Calculate with intention but without intention, calculate with more and less with more.
It was blocked by a clear barrier, and the Konoha ninja army attacked from the south, east and west. The Iwagakure, who had not yet gained a firm footing and had not even had a moment to breathe, were knocked unconscious by the sudden attack.
Wai Sanque gave the disoriented Iwagakure a subconscious escape direction, which invisibly weakened Iwagakure's mentality of fighting to the death.
As a result, Iwagakure's advance troops were completely defeated.
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood on the highest point of the mountain city, on the roof of the castle tower, watching the wolf-like ninjas of Konoha's northwest border defense force capture and kill the panicked Iwagakure one by one.
The sky was covered with clouds, and various explosions caused by ninjutsu and detonating talismans in the city occurred one after another. Standing at a high place, the clouds seemed to be brewing the thunderstorm, and the gloomy thunders were as low and vicious as the wails of the dead souls.
"boom!"
To the north, the detonator set off an orange-red mushroom cloud.
A stream of Iwagakure trying to escape from the north was intercepted by the Uchiha. As the beginning of the battle, the Uchiha used the cluster detonation talisman as an opening greeting.
The Uchiha's detonating charms were thrown towards Iwagakure as if they were free. This powerful and easy-to-use ninja tool ignited hot and brilliant sparks on Iwagakure's formation. The Iwagakure team finally formed a team. The formation was disrupted, and they subconsciously used the teleportation technique to avoid the attack of the detonating talisman, but they forgot that there were Uchihas watching eagerly next to them. The result was that they were bullied by the Uchiha who had just avoided the attack of the detonating talisman. He attacked with his body and cut his head with a knife.
Iwagakure's wails and curses were gradually drowned out by the continuous explosion of the detonating talisman.
"Earth Escape·Earth Escape River!"
"Turong Tulong Spear!"
This was a ninjutsu attack by two Iwagakure jounin. They first turned the ground in the city into an extremely sticky swamp, and then summoned a large number of earth spears to attack the entangled Konoha ninjas. Some of them were too late to use the teleportation technique. The Konoha ninja who escaped before the spell was cast were strung into blood gourds.
This should also be Iwagakure's first counterattack since the start of the attack.
"As expected of Iwagakure, who specializes in earth escape. He is proficient in combining ninjutsu attacks. He also uses ninjutsu to transform the terrain, making it more suitable for the earth escape combat environment."
Uchiha Tokumitsu admired the power of Iwagakure's combined ninjutsu attack.
"I can only say that he is truly the Iwagakure ninja who is said to be the most united and cooperative, supported by the will of stone."
Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed to have a smile on his lips, and said in a seemingly appreciative tone to the jounin Hinata Toshiki standing next to him.
It's just that although his words contained a slight smile, the three magatama in his eyes turned faster and faster, and it seemed that he could no longer suppress his anger and murderous intent.
"It's the first border defense team."
Hinata Toshiki stared and observed for a moment, then seemed to reply without any clue.
Oh, it's not Uchiha.
Uchiha nodded understandingly.
"Commander Tokuguang, are you going to provide support?" Another middle-aged ninja cautiously put forward his opinion.
He was a member of the first border defense team. As a senior Konoha border ninja, the decline of his subordinates made him feel ashamed.
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at him noncommittally.
After a while, the Konoha ninjas in the distance were fighting with Iwagakure again.
"Kensuke Jonin." Uchiha Tokumitsu called to the guard class ninja Uchiha Kensuke, "Please lead your subordinates to support."
"Don't let anyone escape!"
"As commanded."
The three ninjas in Kensuke's class nodded silently and made a seal with their right hands on their chests!
Instantaneous technique!
The next moment, three members of Uchiha Kensuke's squad appeared on the battlefield at the same time. Without speaking any words to command, they consciously formed an assault formation with Uchiha Kensuke as the core and two chuunin subordinates as the wings.
The Iwagakure ninjas who were fighting with the Konoha ninjas were shocked when they saw this and quickly tried to distance themselves.
After escaping a round of ninja attacks, he didn't have time to take a breath, so he hurriedly formed seals and was about to perform the spell.
"Earth Release·Yan..."
Before the ninjutsu was formed, his chest was penetrated by the swords of two Uchiha chuunin.
"Magic Golden Binding Technique!"
Uchiha Kensuke, who was making seals with his hands, showed disdain. The enemy who was controlled by the Sharingan and was not even aware of the genjutsu was too weak.
"The Jonin of Iwagakure...that's it..."
With a look of disdain on his face, Uchiha Kensuke slowly pulled out the sword he wore on his waist.
Since Iwagakure is not strong enough, he should practice his swordsmanship at that time.
…
The one-sided situation of Iwagakure's advance troops did not improve. Although there were occasional fierce resistances, they were discovered in time by Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was standing at a high place, and quickly mobilized people to support and kill them quickly.
"Twenty-six minutes."
Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a pocket watch, took a look at it, and said so.
"A total of twenty-six minutes have passed since the attack began."
Uchiha Tokko's words still contained some dissatisfaction.
Judging from the performance on the battlefield, although Iwagakure was defeated, it was mainly due to being stunned by the sudden attack, and was unable to exert its tradition of united and coordinated operations due to Konoha's numerical advantage.
However, this battle also exposed several problems of the Konoha Ninja Army.
Although the conventional ninja army composed of civilian ninjas has good toughness and strong combat awareness, it obviously lacks attack methods, resulting in insufficient attack power, and it is difficult to form ninjutsu suppression in a short time. This first detachment from the border attacked the west side. The process of the city wall can be seen.
The family ninja army, composed of ninjas from the Uchiha clan, is stronger when it comes to strength, but large-scale tactical coordination still has flaws. The Uchiha jounin prefer to fight alone, emphasizing defeating the enemy with strength and using fancy ninjutsu. Illusion techniques combined with excellent physical swordsmanship were used to defeat the enemy, and tactical cooperation was limited to a three-person team; looking at the whole scene, there was no example of two or more jounin cooperating to kill the enemy. Although they all ended in victory for the Uchiha ninjas, It's always a fly in the ointment.
"Nobuhiko Jonin, my clan still likes to fight alone." Uchiha Tokko said to Uchiha Nobuhiko with a slight sigh.
Uchiha Nobuhiko nodded silently. Although he understood what Uchiha Tokumitsu meant, he actually felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
If the Uchihas cooperate, wouldn't this mean that they are trying to steal someone's head or be mistaken for their own strength?
This is something that is intolerable to the proud Uchiha ninja.
But Uchiha Nobuhiko would not foolishly deny Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.
"...Perhaps the clan members are accustomed to the police department's small team combat mode and did not change their combat thinking in time during the Ninja Army operations."
Uchiha Nobuhiko defended briefly.
The civilian ninjas around him felt a little powerless when they heard this.
Although they all claim to be veteran jounin and chuunin who have experienced hundreds of battles, when they face the red-eyed Uchiha of the same level, they always feel that they are scarlet sharingans full of murderous intent when they see them. He was still that weak, helpless and pitiful genin.
At this point, their commander, Lord Uchiha Tokimitsu, was actually dissatisfied.
The civilian ninjas murmured secretly.
"You also go down and clean up the battlefield." Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and said to the ninja beside him.
"You can take a few alive and take them back, but leave none of the injured Iwagakure alive."
The faint tone revealed endless bloody murderous intent.
"yes!"
The ninjas on the castle tower, as if they had been granted amnesty, bowed one after another and left the roof, heading towards the fighting areas in the city.
"What a boring battle..."
Since Konoha already has a numerical advantage as the attacker, and the number of Jonin far exceeds Iwagakure's advance force, the battle to break the city did not last long. Uchiha Tokumitsu also had nothing to do after killing three Iwagakure. .
"It should be almost done..."
Hinata Toshiki, who continued to observe the fighting in various parts of the city with blank eyes, understood Uchiha Tokumitsu's thoughts and reported to him.
Uchiha Tokko nodded silently.
As expected of the Hyuga clan, a wealthy ninja clan, they are knowledgeable.
Although he himself felt that the battle was still somewhat lacking, in terms of results, it was still very fruitful. He reported back to the village as a great victory, regardless of what the Hokage's original edict required: "No provocation." No matter what their intentions, they pinched their noses and recognized the victory of this attack and gave them decent rewards.
Otherwise, not only the Uchiha clan, but also other ninja clans and civilian ninjas in the village would not agree.
Konoha ninjas who are accustomed to being proud have long been accustomed to the glory of being the number one ninja village. Who can stand the suppression of "no provocation without permission".
…
The dust has settled and the battle is over.
"...The first Uchiha team killed 77 enemies in total, captured 6 people, and injured 16 people in total..."
At the end of the battle, the captains of each branch inspected the situation of their headquarters and returned to the castle tower to report the results to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"The second Uchiha detachment killed 61 enemies in total, captured 3 people, and injured 9 people in total..."
"The first border defense team killed a total of 69 enemies and captured 12 people. The entire team killed a total of 11 people and injured 22 people..."
Sure enough, the first border defense team composed of ordinary ninjas suffered the most serious losses.
Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed secretly, the strength of each department was still seriously unbalanced.
"How are the injured companions doing?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked.
"All of them have been sent to the field hospital for emergency medical assistance by the land rescue team. None of them are in danger of life." Doi Taizo, the leader of the support detachment, an old medical ninja, said hurriedly.
"very good."
Although the ending is not a perfect score, it is still okay to give myself a score of ninety-five.
Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed satisfaction with the results of this report.
"It would be nice if the sealing class could be strengthened. Many Iwagakure should have escaped through escape techniques similar to the art of sneaking in the earth. This is somewhat of a fly in the ointment..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu made a slightly Versailles comment, and then changed the subject.
"However, no one can deny that this is still a brilliant victory!"
"Victory!" the ninjas present cheered.
"Victory!" The Konoha ninjas who were cleaning the battlefield in the city heard the voice and cheered.
