The Iwagakure main camp took the initiative to shrink the control range of the defensive position, which naturally made the Konoha and Kusanagi coalition forces, which were already at a disadvantage in terms of total strength and the quality of grassroots ninjas, even more troublesome.
In addition, there is a particularly important problem, which is that the 50,000 detonating talismans that Uchiha Tokumitsu prepared to use before the war to perform the technique of mutually multiplying detonating talismans have been almost consumed.
Without this unreasonable special forbidden technique, the offensive power of the Konoha and Grass ninja alliance was weakened again.
After all, Uchiha Tokumitsu was not willing to let the ninjas of his family use their heads to force the Iwagakure Hedgehog's position without the fire cover of the detonating talisman and tearing apart the front line.
The ninja troops who attacked the outer positions of the Iwakaku garrison camp also reported their results one after another.
Except for the sixth and seventh stations in the north, which were mainly attacked by the Uchiha clan, most of the other offensive forces were destroyed after breaking through Iwagakure's defenses. hidden.
The 1,000-man Kusanagi team responsible for the main attack on the seventh and eighth stations could not even break through the peripheral defense of Iwagakure station. If Iwagakure in the station had not seen that the situation was not good, he took the initiative to withdraw to the main camp. , the grass ninja may even be defeated by the counterattack.
You know, the Iwagakure stationed on the periphery is just the southern border defense force of Iwagakure. It is the famous fish-bellied ninja army in the Earth Kingdom.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo had already predicted the combat effectiveness of Kusanagi, they did not expect that they would be stretched to such an extent.
At night, when the ninja armies of each branch gathered for combat, the results of the inventory were particularly troublesome for Uchiha Tokimitsu, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kamon.
The well-behaved staff officer Nara Yukihira sat below and bowed his head to wait.
According to the statistics of the corpses left on the battlefield, the Konoha and Kusanagi ninja forces jointly killed 770 Iwagakure ninjas and captured 32 people; 968 people were killed on their own side, including the Tokumitsu Akabe team. Twelve people were killed, 132 people were killed in the border defense force, two people were killed in the mobile unit, and the other casualties were grass ninjas...
Especially the Kusanagi who attacked the seventh and eighth Iwagakure stations did not leave even a single Iwagakure body, but nearly two hundred people were killed...
Uchiha Tokumitsu was starting to regret agreeing to increase Kusanagi's pension.
Although I had hoped to fill the trenches with Grass Ninja to resist the fire, I didn't expect that they would be so vulnerable.
Faced with such a battle loss ratio, Uchiha Tokumitsu and the other three were speechless.
Such a victory would not be possible for the Konoha and Kusanagi alliance.
"Tokumitsu-kun, Kamon-kun, do you have any good strategies?" Hatake Sakumo, who was holding the statistical battle report, was also a little worried.
As a Konoha ninja, he did not want to force his Konoha companions to fill the trenches.
"First send the victory report to the village." Uchiha Kamon thought for a moment and said: "Then ask the village to send more support troops."
"It doesn't matter if there are no reinforcements. Just ask the village to quickly allocate another batch of supplies." Uchiha Tokumitsu stroked his chin, "If we really wait for the village to recruit ninja troops, Ohnoki will probably have led his troops to kill them."
Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kamon both raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.
It's really possible.
As one of the five major ninja villages, Iwagakure's total number of ninjas who emphasize collectivism is definitely the largest among all major powers. However, the biggest shortcoming is that Iwagakure's overly templated training system means that the ninja methods taught are relatively simple and rarely as good as Hatake Sakumo is a powerful person who is famous in the ninja world.
If Iwagakure really vows to defeat the Konoha ninja army led by Uchiha Tokimitsu and the others, the most likely possibility is that Onoki or the Jinchuriki will lead an attack.
"There is no time to waste!" When he thought that Onoki or Iwagakure's jinchūriki might attack, Hatake Sakumo could no longer think about the casualties. "We must completely capture the Iwagakure camp within three days at the latest, otherwise we will be destroyed." Retreat immediately!"
"Three days... I'm afraid it's still too optimistic." Uchiha Kamon estimated Iwagakure's decision-making reaction and mobilization time, "One and a half days, two days at most; otherwise, if Iwagakure's reinforcements precede the village's ninja army, If it arrives, the headquarters will fall into a completely passive posture, and there is even a possibility of the entire army being annihilated..."
Hatake Sakumo also fell silent.
The advantage of elite combat power is still not enough to make up for the fatal flaw of insufficient military strength.
"Send a war report to the village."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said calmly: "Let's just say that the headquarters has surrounded the Iwagakure camp and is in urgent need of support from the village..."
Nara Yukihei immediately wrote quickly.
"As for the results of the battle..." Uchiha Tokumitsu scratched his chin, "Let's just say that our headquarters annihilated more than 900 Iwagakure at the cost of 146 people... Don't mention the specific casualties of Kusanagi. Just write down the pension plus 30%."
"yes……"
The trembling Nara Yukihei quickly wrote the battle report and handed it over to Uchiha Tokimitsu and the others for review.
"No problem, hurry up and send it back to the village." After seeing it, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kamon had no objections, so Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Nara Yukihei.
"As ordered..."
Nara Yukihei left quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.
"What's wrong with Staff Officer Yukihira? Am I so scary?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised by Nara Yukihira's reaction at this time.
Hatake Sakumo laughed twice.
The Uchiha Fire Sect is from the same clan, so he didn't shy away from it: "Tokumitsu-kun, your murderous intention is too strong, maybe Yukihira can't stand it..."
"baffling……"
Uchiha Tokimitsu clicked his tongue and continued: "Does the border defense force still have mission funds that need to be handed over to the village?"
"Yes."
Although Uchiha Kamon didn't know Uchiha Tokumitsu's intention in asking this question, he still answered directly.
The garrison camp of the border defense force is not only a military presence stationed in the vassal country, but also needs to monitor the movements of other major countries. It is also responsible for receiving tasks and assigning them for execution.
According to the common bounty task sharing guidelines in the ninja world, all task bounties need to be divided between the village and the ninja who performs the task. Therefore, the Northwest Border Defense Force currently has a part of the mission funds that have not been escorted back to the village.
"If... I use the money I left for the mission as a pledge, can I buy a batch of detonating talismans on credit with the Ninja Cat Clan in Kongxu?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's thoughts made both Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Homon's brains shut down.
Can it still be like this? ?
The two looked at each other.
Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the stunned expressions of the two bumpkins and said to himself: "If He Kongxu borrows 100,000 detonating talismans on credit, how much money will it cost?"
"About... it will take a year to withdraw funds..." Uchiha Huomen made a rough estimate and said with some hesitation: "It's just that the number of tasks and bounties in the Country of Grass have always been unstable, and there is no guarantee that they will be there every year. Rich……"
"Then use two years of mission income as a pledge, and first buy one hundred thousand detonating charms from Ninja Cat on credit." Uchiha Tokumitsu made the final decision, "The payment cycle is five days. If there is an extension, you can pay additional interest, up to a maximum of Stacked up to an amount equivalent to two years of mission income."
As a ninja, Hatake Sakumo has never seen such financial techniques before, and is still in a state of surprise for the time being.
Although Uchiha Kamon also felt that there was something wrong, he could not find any reason to refute it; and the purchase of the detonating talisman was also used to attack the Iwagakure position, which was not considered corruption, so he did not continue to say anything.
"Let me ask Ninja... I just don't know if Granny Cat has so much inventory..."
After saying that, Uchiha Kamon slipped out of the door.
His ninja was too enthusiastic and he was too embarrassed to channel it in front of the two of them.
"Sakumo-kun, tell me... would it be useful to let genjutsu ninjas control the captives of Iwagakure to sing the songs of the Land of Earth, and then let the ninjas who are good at wind escape use the loudspeakers to reach Iwagakure's main formation? "
Uchiha Tokumitsu's words made Hatake Sakumo a little stunned again.
After thinking for a while, Hatake Sakumo also roughly understood Uchiha Tokumitsu's intention, "It is best to let the prisoners sing some homesick songs, so that the blow to Iwagakure will be greater."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in agreement, and then summoned an Uchiha ninja to give some instructions.
Soon after, under the control of the Uchiha ninja's genjutsu, dull singing drifted towards Iwagakure's position along with the wind.
Immediately, another burst of yelling and cursing came out from the direction of Iwagakure Formation.
In response to this, the Konoha ninjas and Grass ninjas laughed and laughed, not taking it seriously.
The winner is naturally more tolerant.
"Seventy thousand detonating talismans." After a while, Uchiha Huomen returned to the Chinese army's tent again, "It can be handed over in four hours. This is all the inventory of Granny Cat."
"That's okay." Although the number of detonating talismans was discounted by 30, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't pay too much attention. "How about launching an attack at noon tomorrow? I also have to prepare a seal for mutual communication for the detonating talismans."
"Of course there will be no problem at noon..." Hatake Sakumo hesitated, "It's just how to allocate the main attack tasks?"
"The first batch of offensive grass ninjas are divided into three thousand-man teams and all go up." Uchiha Tokumitsu's words seemed to be filled with endless blood. "Just pick a detachment to serve as the rear guard."
"It's just that this is still not enough..."
Hatake Sakumo shook his head.
With the Kusanagi's abysmal combat power, even if it were filled up completely, it would not be able to consume much chakra from the Iwagakure ninja, regardless of whether it could tear through Iwagakure's defense line.
"...You still need Sakumo-kun to take a risk." Uchiha Tokumitsu said while looking at the cup in front of him.
"Oh?" Hatake Sakumo became interested.
"Ask Sakumo-kun and the mobile troops to disguise themselves, hide among the Kusanagi, and wait for an opportunity to raid Iwagakure's position." Uchiha Tokumitsu said his plan, "Then I will lead the Red Guards to carry out the assault, and the border defense troops will Then attack.”
"It's just that after the mobile troops tear apart the Iwagakure position, they must quickly break into the enemy's position to interfere, especially staying away from the Kusanagi...otherwise I won't be able to use the mutual detonating talisman technique later."
"No reserve team?" Uchiha Kato was a little surprised.
"No reserve team!" Uchiha Tokumitsu repeated affirmatively.
"A desperate move..." Uchiha Kamon's heart was a little heavy.
"No, it's better to withdraw our troops now." Uchiha Tokumitsu also knew that such an offensive method was too cruel, but he had no choice but to say, "If we continue to besiege Iwagakure and wait for reinforcements from the village, the only outcome will be annihilation of the entire army. ”
Hatake Sakumo sighed.
"One general's success leads to ten thousand bones..." Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his head and avoided Hatake Sakumo's eyes, "This is the fate of ninjas..."
"I understand..." Hatake Sakumo naturally knows the cruelty of war and sacrifices when necessary. He did not complain when Uchiha Tokumitsu arranged the most dangerous infiltration attack mission, "But even so, I'm afraid It is impossible to completely annihilate Yanyin..."
"Try to chase after Iwagakure after defeating him." Uchiha Kamon said: "Just try to maximize the results. The rest depends on whether Iwagakure is as tough as a rock as in the legend. "
"No matter how solid the rock is, Uchiha's fire will burn it to ashes!"
Uchiha Tokko licked his lips, and the blood in his eyes became more intense.
…
At noon the next day, the Konoha and Grass ninja coalition secretly entered the offensive position after having a sumptuous meal in advance.
After learning about the combat mission, the grass ninjas turned pale and were frightened but did not dare to resist at all.
The Uchiha ninjas were eager to try, while the other Konoha ninjas were either expressionless or a little nervous.
Uchiha Tokumitsu found a taiko drum from the captured supplies in Iwakaku, and personally beat the drum for the attack.
"Dong, dong dong, dong dong dong..."
With a bit of gold and iron spirit, the drum beat became more and more urgent.
"kill!"
Following the sound of the first drum, the captain of the 1000 Kusanagi led his troops to jump out of the position and rush towards the Iwagakure position.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Wind Release·Vacuum Wave!"
The Uchiha ninja's wind and fire escape combination ninjutsu came first and began to cover with ninjutsu strikes.
"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"
Iwagakure still responded with the same old earth escape ninjutsu.
"Earth Release·Earth Shotgun!"
Then, a large pile of rocks fell towards the attacking formation of Kusanagi.
Uchiha Tokumitsu handed the drum hammer to an Uchiha ninja, took a deep breath, and slowly turned his neck.
"Homon-kun, I'll go first." Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly pulled out the Kodachi and said to Uchiha Kamon, "I'll have you organize the offensive for the third wave."
Without waiting for Uchiha Kamon's response, Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly swung his sword forward and gave a stern order: "Uchiha! Follow me to attack!"
Then he took the lead and killed Iwagakure.
"loyalty!"
Tokumitsu's Akei team responded angrily, following in Uchiha Tokumitsu's footsteps and charging.
In a short period of time, after suffering huge casualties, the Kusanagi finally allowed Hatake Sakumo to glimpse a loophole in Iwagakure's formation.
A ray of silver light shot from the panicked Kusanagi like an arrow into the Iwagakure position, slashing left and right, killing three or four Iwagakure ninjas.
Then the members of the mobile unit rushed to Iwagakure's position and began to suppress Iwagakure's desperate counterattack.
Uchiha Tokumitsu formed the magic seals while running, and the detonating symbols were suspended around his body.
"Step aside!"
Following Uchiha Tokumitsu's shout, the mobile troops in front blocking Iwagakure's counterattack immediately jumped to the left, giving up their position and continuing to tear apart Iwagakure's formation.
"The art of channeling and multiplying detonating talismans!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu threw 10,000 detonating charms into the air and smashed them against the Iwagakure ninja who was rushing towards him.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"
A large number of detonating symbols were detonated continuously, not only blasting the Iwagakure ninja into flying ash, but also blasting a huge gap in the intricate Iwagakure earthen wall maze fortifications.
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
The high-level ninjutsu of the Uchiha ninjas began to expand their results.
"Explosion Escape·Big Explosion Grenade!"
"Thunder Escape·Electric Spider Web!"
Ninjutsu battles come and go, endlessly.
Uchiha Tokko formed a seal again and activated the forbidden technique.
"Flying Talisman Formation!"
Explosive symbols flew in all directions.
Subsequently, it caused continuous and violent bombing at various positions in Iwagakure.
As the attacker, the Konoha ninja army did not have a strength advantage, so Uchiha Tokumitsu was not interested in fighting with the Iwagakure ninjas in the maze walls where they were best at.
Therefore, his strategy is to blast him!
"Gentlemen, follow me to attack!"
Seeing that the first two batches of offensives had stood their ground, Uchiha Kamon in the rear immediately issued the order to attack.
"kill!"
Nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas rushed towards the Iwagakure camp again.
Konoha's determination once again exceeded the expectations of Commander Iwagakure Bakugunri.
"Is there still a chance?" He asked the magic leech standing next to him a little confusedly.
"Lord Kari..." Demon Leech was a little embarrassed to say, "It doesn't make much sense to continue fighting. It's better to..."
At this time, with Hatake Sakumo's silver sword as the front, the mobile force was attacking the Iwagakure command center where the two of them were.
The earthen wall labyrinth is the defensive fortification that Iwagakure is most familiar with and best at. The intricate tunnels and paths in it will definitely make the ninja troops who rush into it lose their way, and they will be wiped out one by one by Iwagakure who is familiar with the terrain.
However, this time Iwagakure encountered the unreasonable Tokumitsu Uchiha and the even more unreasonable massive explosion of detonating symbols in the earthen wall maze.
The Iwagakure deployed throughout the maze lost their ninjutsu advantage at this time. After the fortifications were blown open, they were successively annihilated by the Konoha ninjas with local numerical superiority.
After continuing to observe for a while, Explosive Hunter nodded.
"Our tactics and command...are lagging behind Konoha." Although he was a little unwilling, Demon Leech still said loudly, "Although this battle is defeated, the tenacious Iwagakure will definitely..."
Explosion Hunter waved his hand to interrupt Demon Leech's words, "No, we did not lose to Konoha."
"We just lost to the White Fang and the Uchiha."
Then he jumped towards Hatake Sakumo's sharp edge, and only said: "Coordinate the retreat of all ministries..."
The Iwagakure tribes began to retreat one after another, and the earthen wall maze gradually became more complicated.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to bombard him indiscriminately, he was unable to slow down Iwagakure's retreat.
Even if he could sense Iwagakure sneaking away in the soil, there was nothing he could do.
"Konoha White Fang!" Bakudunkari led three trusted ninjas to directly face Hatake Sakumo's blade, "Come on! Fight with me!"
Hatake Sakumo said nothing and continued to kill with his sword.
"Explosive Escape·Thunder Fist!"
Explosive Release Hunter concentrated chakra on his fist and hammered at Hatake Sakumo who was attacking with a sword.
Then, a blade came out from his back and stirred slightly, completely breaking his heart.
Explosive Hunter slowly lowered his head and looked at the blade on his chest, then looked up at the expressionless "White Fang" in front of him.
"boom!"
The "white teeth" in front of him turned into a ball of white smoke.
"Clone Technique..."
The corner of Bao Dunshou's mouth twitched, as if he was about to smile bitterly, but in the end he still did not form a complete expression.
Hatake Sakumo coldly pulled out the blade and continued to kill forward.
This... After much thought, I still have the audacity to ask for a vote... Please recommend a monthly ticket.
