Sansho Hanzo's declaration of war ignited the flames of war throughout the Land of Rain and even spread to the entire ninja world overnight.
Inspired by Hanzo's declaration of war, the strongest ninja village among the five ninja villages gathered all the ninja power, took out all the materials, and distributed all the accumulated and captured arms one by one to all Ninjas who can throw kunai.
Although many of them are indeed not strong enough.
Either they were too young and lacked strength, or they had been disabled and retired, but under the inspiration of Hanzo, the united Rain ninjas used the greatest enthusiasm and full of hatred to attack Sunagakure entrenched in the Land of Rain. and the Konoha ninja army launched an attack.
Even several border cities in the northern region of the Land of Rain were originally taken back by the Land of Rain as a condition for Iwakakure's negotiation but could not station ninjas. The Rain ninjas also broke the treaty without hesitation and sent ninja troops to station again. .
Blood and rain, iron and fire, intertwined to create the ukiyo-e of the ninja world.
The mobile troops under Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo had just returned to the village. Before they had time to rest and recuperate, they received a special mission to carry out support operations in the border area between the northern part of the Kawa Country and the Rain Country.
"Tokuguang-kun, I'm sorry, I didn't think twice..."
Hatake Sakumo apologized to Uchiha Tokimitsu with some embarrassment.
Facing the task forcibly assigned by the Hokage, Uchiha Tokumitsu had extremely strong resistance.
Ninjas are not made of iron, their health is more important than their mission! Having just experienced a fierce battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu was really unwilling to obey the Hokage's call to fight again.
Especially when he was transferred to the country of Kawa, a place he was unfamiliar with, to fight against potential enemies such as Sunagakure and Rain Ninja.
But in front of the Hokage, the honest Sakumo agreed to the task issued by the Hokage, leaving Uchiha Tokimitsu with no time to express his opinions.
"Sakumo-kun... I can only complain a few times, but the ninjas under our command are not as physically strong as we are and can withstand such frequent combat missions..."
Uchiha Tokko sighed helplessly.
This is the disadvantage of having a partner who is an honest person who is full of passion and acts impartially.
"But...even though Hokage-sama is rushing us, we can still drive slowly and take a rest along the way~" Hatake Sakumo rubbed his nose and whispered.
"Forget it, it's not worth being blamed for delaying the fight..."
Uchiha Tokko sighed again.
He felt like he hadn't sighed as much in the past week as he did today.
"Let's take a day or two away on the pretext of armament replenishment before setting off. I will make a long list of excessive requirements and submit it to the administrative department later, and discuss with them the issue of material replenishment." Uchiha Tokumitsu rubbed his left palm. With a smooth chin, he thought for a while, "After all, since everyone has returned to the village, it doesn't make sense not to rest for a while."
"That's fine. If you leave this kind of matter to Tokumitsu-kun, I can rest assured that you will handle it." Hatake Sakumo chuckled, "For the Ninja people, let me do some ideological counseling."
"no problem."
Uchiha Demitsu agreed immediately.
Then, when Uchiha Tokko and the Konoha Administration Department were arguing about the supply of mobile troops, the rushing rain ninja, led by their leader Sansho Hanzo, launched a counterattack to expel the Sunagakure occupying forces and achieved victory. A brilliant achievement that shocked the ninja world.
The rain ninjas who came out in full force gathered more than 3,000 ninja troops. Under the leadership of Sansho Hanzo, they defeated the 4,000 sand ninja troops entrenched in the western region of the Land of Rain in just one night.
Under the poisonous psychic beast Sanshouyu's toxin and Hanzo's miraculous water escape attack, the Sunagakure ninja army was almost unable to fight back.
Especially the poisonous gas of Sanshou fish can be called a harvester of trash fish on the battlefield. Generally, the middle genin in the ninja army cannot deal with this deadly poisonous gas attack.
Even though Sunagakure was originally the ninja village best at using poisons among the five major countries, it was still helpless.
It is different from the previous clearing campaign of Grass Country launched by Uchiha Tokko, and also different from the battle with the Iwagakure border troops. The victory of the Rain Ninja against Sunagakure was the first time since the establishment of the five-power system of the Shinobi World that a small country launched and defeated a large country.
It is not news that dogs bite dogs between big countries, but when a wolf cub from a small country bites a ninja from a big country until his body is covered with bruises and blood, that is definitely breaking news.
The rain ninja who made a big news suddenly changed from an annoying thorn in the eyes of the great powers to an enemy that he vowed to destroy soon.
Especially Sunagakure, who had suffered a huge defeat, was in an uproar.
The daimyo of the Land of Wind even issued a series of official letters, asking Sunagakure to punish the defeated ninja commander and quickly organize a counterattack to regain the ground.
The furious Third Kazekage no longer cared about letting the Sunagakure Ninja Army continue to entangle with the border troops led by Misura Hamaki and Kimome Kouta in the Kawakuni Country, and hurriedly dispatched the expeditionary ninja army in the direction of the Kawakuni Country to the Wind Country and At the border of the Kingdom of Rain, gather the retreating Sunagakure ninjas and rebuild the defense line to prevent the Rain Ninja Village from taking advantage of the situation and entering the Kingdom of Wind.
Later, the advisers of Sunagakure Ninja Village, Ebizo and Chiyo siblings received orders from the Kazekage and led a ninja army of more than 4,000 people to rush to the front line through the stars and nights.
After defeating Sunagakure with an unstoppable blitzkrieg, the Ninja Army of the Rain Ninja Village led by Sanshouyu Hanzo took a short break and, regardless of the incoming Sunagakure reinforcements, once again moved the entire army to the eastern border of the Land of Rain, preparing to launch an attack. Konoha dispatched troops to expel operations.
Taking advantage of the overwhelming defeat of Sunagakure, the powerful Rain Ninja had not yet launched an attack on Konoha's dispatched troops, but the huge pressure made Danzo, the general of the Ninja Army, feel uneasy, and he fired several urgent attacks. I wrote back to the village with just one request——
reinforce!
Although Konoha is strong, it is still afraid that the Rain Country's troops will make a mistake, especially the third generation of Sarutobi and Hiruzen. They are also worried that their old friend Shimura Danzo will make a mistake, so they quickly recruit ninja troops for reinforcements.
The material requirements listed by Uchiha Tokumitsu were quickly approved on the third day after two days of wrangling, and the full amount was quickly allocated.
The Hokage Building has only one requirement for the mobile troops - rush to rescue immediately!
"Hokage-sama is so generous~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who happily took stock of his materials, did not hesitate to praise the third generation.
After receiving so many benefits, Tokumitsu Uchiha felt guilty not to praise him.
"A total of one hundred thousand detonating charms..." Hatake Sakumo took the material list and was amazed, "It was actually allocated like this..."
"Many of them are high-end goods urgently purchased by our Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Tokko smiled from ear to ear.
The Uchiha clan, who specializes in fire escape, is good at making powerful detonating talismans. Especially when the war is about to start, the price of detonating talismans also rises. This purchase has really made the Uchiha clan a lot of money.
What's more, the detonating talisman from the Uchiha clan was once again transferred to Uchiha Tokimitsu. This is really a win-win situation.
——The so-called win-win means that Uchiha wins twice!
"Let's set off in the afternoon, how about it?" Hatake Sakumo, who looked at the material list absently for a while, said unexpectedly: "Commander Mimura, although Sunagakure has retreated, the pressure on the rain ninja is also great, and he is also in urgent need reinforce."
"Aren't the border defense troops stationed in Kawakuni led by the two jonins, Misura Hamaki and Kime Koutana?" Uchiha Tokimitsu was a little surprised. "What's more, Sunagakure has withdrawn to the border area of Um no Kuni to confront the rain ninjas. Now, they only need to maintain the border, so how can they put so much pressure on them?"
"The Western Border Defense Force... has also been mobilized long ago." Hatake Sakumo said with a wry smile, "The main force of the entire Western Front is with the Rain Country Dispatch Force, and Mimura is also helpless..."
"We have assembled the entire elite ninja army on the Western Front, and yet they still have the audacity to ask for help from the village..." Uchiha Tokumitsu mocked mercilessly, "I think Danzo should go back to his cave and continue to be his country rat. Okay, maybe he’s good at assassinations and intelligence, but when it comes to leading an army to fight, he’s really not good at it.”
Hatake Sakumo laughed twice and did not refute.
Danzo Shimura, who is known as the "Dark Shinobi", is indeed outstanding in intelligence and assassination abilities, but his performance in uniting the army in combat is really unsatisfactory.
After many replenishments, the Rain Country dispatched troops and assembled up to 5,000 Konoha ninjas, including a collection of Jonin and countless elites. Moreover, the Hokage disciples Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were all in the army, but since Since the beginning of the war, except for Danzo's achievements in breaking attacks, assassinations, and framing Sunagakure, frontal combat has not been able to progress.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been removed from the post of general in the name of "mediocrity" and returned to the village to be investigated. Danzo, who had a profound background and had the support of the Sandaime, was able to continue to stay in the position of the general of the front army and continue to play assassination games that were not on the table.
"Consultant Danzo's talents are actually very good... He is well-known in the village and all countries in the ninja world." Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but said: "It's just that in terms of what Danzo is good at, he is not suitable for this position. It’s just a job on the surface.”
"The official position..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also amused by Hatake Sakumo's words.
"It turns out that Sakumo's way of commanding and harming others is still so elegant."
The Jonin of the mobile unit also laughed and joined in the fun.
Although there was a lot of material, the mobile troops worked together, and soon they were all counted, classified according to their uses, and sealed into scrolls.
Of the 100,000 detonating charms, Uchiha Tokko received 80,000 for himself, and the other 20,000 were all distributed to the ninjas of the mobile unit.
"This is my first time fighting such a rich battle."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Hatake Sakumo when he was ready.
"It seems that Tokumitsu-kun is still full of confidence." Hatake Sakumo also responded with a smile.
"Who knows, I hope everything goes well." Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted slightly, "I hope Danzo can be more confident and be able to withstand the offensive of Hanzo and Yu Ninja, so as to avoid heavy casualties among his companions in the village."
Hatake Sakumo nodded in agreement.
"I really don't want to fight in the Land of Rain. The continuous rain is the most annoying thing." Uchiha Tokumitsu complained while putting various ninja scrolls in his vest and ninja bag: "I guess it's there In such a hellish environment, it would be good if my Fire Release could exert 70% of its power..."
All the Uchiha jounin also nodded in agreement.
"Gentlemen..." Hatake Sakumo sighed, "The goal of this operation is to support the western front, and the target location is the northern border area of Kawano Country. Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready!"
The mobile troops who were originally laughing and joking immediately turned solemn upon hearing this and replied seriously.
"Then..." Hatake Sakumo nodded with satisfaction, "The mission begins!"
All members of the mobile unit turned into fleeting shadows and galloped towards the country of Kawawa.
During the three days when Uchiha Tokumitsu and Konoha's high-level officials were arguing, the situation in the ninja world further deteriorated, and a strong cloud of war and murderous intent almost covered the entire ninja world.
Except for the Kirigakure Village in the Water Kingdom, which is isolated overseas, wars among various countries started almost overnight.
Kumogakure, who originally had a fierce military force to spy on Iwagakure and Konoha, first sent a ninja army to harass the northern border of the Land of Fire to confuse people, and then raided Iwagakure with thunderous force, targeting the four-tailed jinchūriki. Lao Zi.
After receiving the guarantee from Kumogakure to attack the Konoha border, Lao Zi, the commander of Iwagakure's border ninja army, also planned to send his troops into the country of grass. Unexpectedly, Kumogakure only attacked Konoha openly and concealed Iwagakure, and was broken into. The rising Kumogakure army was caught off guard, and after a series of defeats, they finally stabilized their position.
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnokiya who arrived later and the Third Raikage who led his own expedition began to confront each other in the Land of Earth.
Sunagakure, who vowed to avenge his shame, sent out his most elite ace force, the Sunagakure Puppet Force, led by advisors Chiyo and Ebizo, to attack the Amegakure again.
When Sansho Hanzo had moved to the eastern border to confront Konoha, the Rain Ninja, who did not have a top powerhouse, collapsed in one battle and was easily defeated by Sunagakure.
The Sunagakure army that marched straight in once again occupied the western border area of the Country of Rain, and sent small groups of ninja troops to continuously attack the hinterland of the Country of Rain to weaken the power of the Rain Ninja Village.
Sansho Hanzo, who was originally gearing up to try to defeat Konoha in one battle, had no choice but to lead his troops to the western border again to resist the invasion of Sunagakure Village after going through various plots.
Even with a strong man like Hanzo, the talent echelon of the rain ninja is seriously broken and the combat effectiveness is uneven. Without the leadership of Hanzo himself, the rain ninja is still the weak ninja army of a small country.
Sunagakure's large-scale attack also burst the bubble of Yu Ninja's seeming strength.
Just when the troops dispatched by the Country of Rain breathed a sigh of relief as Sansho Hanzo headed west, the mobile force led by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo finally arrived at the territory of the Country of Kawa, and Mimuraha The western border defense forces led by Juan and Mumu Gongdao joined forces.
