This is how the clearing battle of the Sunagakure elite raiding team came to an end.
The inspection and suppression team led by Uchiha Tokumitsu destroyed the elite Jonin team left behind by Sunagakure.
Although Hatake Sakumo felt a little regretful about not meeting the enemy, he had no other special emotions.
But the two commanders of the Western Border Defense Force, Mimura Hazaki and Kime Kotō, were very grateful to Uchiha Tokimitsu.
Uchiha Tokko led his troops to successfully complete the clearing, and the biggest beneficiaries were naturally the two commanders responsible for defense.
In the past, the two of them were indeed deeply harassed by Sunagakure. Although they wanted to get rid of the strangulation, they were unable to do so. They could only deal with it by strengthening the formation of patrol ninja troops and high-density communication reports to avoid ninjas who went out to patrol or perform tasks. Suddenly one day it was discovered that the body had been separated and rotted for a long time.
Now that Sunagakure's elite team has been completely wiped out, Sunagakure's main ninja army has moved to the Land of Rain to fight against the Rain ninja army led by Sansho Hanzo. There are no more difficult enemies in the defense area under their jurisdiction in a short period of time. The two of them finally managed to survive this time. Now you can relax and eat and drink well.
At the same time, the identities of the two Sunagakure ninjas were also determined through the guidance of two high-level jounin, Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kotō, who knew the information about Sunagakure personnel well.
The two Sunagakure puppet masters, one male and one female, are the son and daughter-in-law of Sunagakure's senior advisor Chiyo. They are a pair of very loving and extremely talented couple ninjas. Therefore, in the end, the search team led by Uchiha Tokumitsu At the time of the siege, her husband was already dying and had no strength to fight. She did not make a last futile resistance, but chose to kill herself after destroying the confidential information. In the end, the couple went to Hirazaka.
As the son and daughter-in-law of high-level consultants, they are also masters in Sunagakure's ace puppet army. Although they are dead, the intelligence and secret techniques recorded in their heads are still very important core information sources for Konoha.
Therefore, when the village learned of the news through the war report from the border troops, it immediately dispatched a team of ANBU to Kawa no Kuni to retrieve the body.
"Corpse?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the three Anbu who were rushing over with some surprise.
"Yes, Commander Tokuguang." Although his face was still covered with a mask, from his tone, it was still possible to tell that the ANBU captain who spoke was quite polite.
Maybe it was Uchiha Tokko's "glorious resume" of beating up ANBU unscrupulously before, which made ANBU a little afraid.
"According to the village's information, two of the puppet masters among the Sunagakure ninjas annihilated by your department were the disciples of their senior officials. Although they died, they could still extract some intelligence or secret technique information from the corpses, and decipher these intelligence It will also help our companions in the village have an advantage in future battles and avoid unnecessary casualties..."
The ANBU captain continued to act with emotion and reason.
Uchiha Tokumitsu also has a soft-spoken personality, and it would be hard for him to refute it on the spot if it makes sense. Otherwise, if word spreads, it will not be arrogance and domineering, but a disregard for the life and death of his companions.
However, if the Hokage and others think that they can take away Uchiha Tokumitsu's loot without paying anything, then they have completely miscalculated.
"Okay... For the sake of my friends in the village, I will grant your request."
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand and motioned to the Uchiha jounin under his command to fetch the remains of Sunagakure.
"Thank you, Commander Tokuguang."
The ANBU captain still responded politely.
You thanked me too early, I hope you can still look like this later.
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at him playfully, but said nothing.
After a while, an Uchiha jonin walked in carrying six small jars.
"Now, it's right here, can you take it?" Uchiha Tokumitsu could hardly help but laugh out loud.
"This... this is..." The ANBU captain was also a little at a loss, pointing to six dusty small clay pots and saying incoherently.
"These are the remains of the Sunagakure ninja." Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed at the small clay pot, "Six people, six clay pots, very fair."
"Is this... the latest sealing technology?" Holding the last glimmer of hope, the ANBU captain asked cautiously.
"What, it's just an ordinary clay pot." Uchiha Tokumitsu pretended to be puzzled and said: "These are all produced by local workshops in Kawanoguni. The quality is quite good, and there is one pot per person. There is absolutely no mixing with each other." And, please feel free to use it..."
"This... shouldn't be a corpse inside, right?" The ANBU captain's Adam's apple twitched a few times, and he seemed to have swallowed a few times before he said, "You mean... it contains the ashes of Sunagakure's remains?"
"Yes! Otherwise!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed a little surprised and said, "Oh~ I understand, you think the weight is not enough, right? There is a reason for this."
The ANBU captain felt his eyelids beating violently.
"As we all know, our Uchiha clan's Fire Release is the strongest in the ninja world. Naturally, the remains we burn will be much purer than those burned with ordinary firewood, so even though the weight is a little smaller, it is definitely It is a relic of the original owner, without any impurities..."
"By the way, you don't think you can leave a complete body, do you? You don't?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed surprised, but the corners of his mouth were still twitching.
I can't help but laugh.
The Uchiha Jōnin in the tent also had their heads raised and their shoulders shaking violently.
It's really hard not to laugh.
Uchiha Tokumitsu rolled his eyes at these Uchiha who had too low a smile.
"They are the Sunagakure warriors who dare to stay behind to carry out the attack mission when the main force has withdrawn and the number of people is absolutely behind. Do you think they won't leave some back-ups on themselves to destroy their own bodies?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the three ANBUs, the smile on his lips no longer concealed, "Even you ANBU...should have left some restrictions or sealing techniques on your body, right?"
"Yes...thank you, Commander Tokguang, for your teachings."
Although he may be very unhappy in his heart, or he may have imagined the scene of Uchiha Tokumitsu being stuffed into a clay pot countless times, the ANBU captain still maintained his etiquette and asked his subordinates to put the pot away while continuing to maintain the honorific.
Even if the goods are wrong, there is still a need for a somewhat relevant item to be brought back for delivery.
"Is there anything else?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was in a good mood at this time and asked in a friendly manner: "If you have anything else, just tell me. Anyway, I won't embarrass you too much."
Wouldn't it be too difficult? It means it will still be difficult!
The ANBU captain sighed inwardly.
"There is another document that needs to be handed over to Sakumo-sama..." The ANBU captain did not pretend to be pretentious and said bluntly: "It is a document signed by Hokage-sama. Could you please Commander Tokimitsu to find Sakumo-sama?"
"That's fine."
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand and asked an Uchiha jounin under his command to find Hatake Sakumo.
After Hatake Sakumo came over, he took out a document and handed it over, then took the initiative to resign and left.
"Mobilize the northern border of the Kingdom of Sichuan and take the initiative to attack the rain ninja."
After the ANBU left, Hatake Sakumo quickly read the contents of the document and said to Uchiha Tokimitsu, and then handed the letter to Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Where is Hanzo?"
Uchiha Tokko took the letter and asked casually.
"We are still facing off against the ninja army led by Sunagakure's Chiyo and Ebizo."
Hatake Sakumo paused, "Apart from Hanzo, there should be no other strong people in the Rain Ninja Village who need special attention."
"In that case, then just follow the orders." Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care.
As long as they don't directly confront Sansho Hanzo, who is known as the "demigod", the other rain ninjas are not afraid in the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo.
Even if they were facing Hanzo, the two of them had the confidence to compete with him.
"Then leave tomorrow?"
Sakumo Hatake asked for advice.
"Okay." Uchiha Tokumitsu had no objection.
Immediately, he arranged for his mobile units to prepare for departure.
…
Rain Country, Southern Border.
After arriving at the northern border of Kawa Country, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo found a hidden stone forest and set up a garrison camp, and immediately led the combat jounin of the mobile unit into the Rain Country.
Only the escort troops and some auxiliary ninjas remained in the garrison camp at the rear.
"I really hate this slimy humidity!"
Since entering the Land of Rain, Uchiha Tokumitsu and the Uchiha Jonin under his command have had great complaints.
Although the southern part of the Land of Rain does not rain all year round like the central part, it is extremely humid and hot, making the Uchihas who are good at fire escape feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Although there is a lot of rain in the southern part of the Country of Rain, the central part where its Ninja Village is located is much better." Hatake Sakumo replied with a smile: "I have been to the Rain Ninja Village once, and it does rain all year round. , more uncomfortable than in the south.”
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at the sensing ninja and white-eyed ninja who were conducting reconnaissance, and felt a little bored, so he continued to chat to relieve his boredom.
"Then why is the Rain Ninja Village still located in the central area where there is so much rain?"
"It is said that it is to avoid attacks from big countries..." Hatake Sakumo sighed: "Although we are not on good terms with the Rain Ninja Village, to be honest, the civilians of the Rain Country should be the worst among the many small countries."
"With the system of balancing the strength of the five major powers to maintain peace, it is naturally the smaller countries that suffer." Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly, "Although Lord Hashirama's ideals are very full, the reality is always unsatisfactory."
Hatake Sakumo sighed.
Ever since he partnered with Uchiha Tokumitsu, he has been more or less affected by Uchiha Tokumitsu's unscrupulous words and deviant thoughts in the ninja world, so he usually thinks more and no longer Such a simple believer in the Will of Fire.
However, in his mind, he was still full of longing for eternal peace that might be out of reach.
"Five kilometers ahead, enemy traces were found!"
"It's the Rain Ninja! Seventy-seven of them in total!"
The sensing ninja and the white-eyed ninja reported the search results at the same time.
"Let's go, Sakumo-kun." Uchiha Tokumitsu twisted his neck, not even bothering to pull out his usual Kodachi.
"Just think of it as a warm-up."
"Although I don't know if I can win, I actually hope to fight against the demigod Hanzo." Hatake Sakumo looked back at the eager combat jounin behind him, feeling equally bored.
"You guys go ahead." Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand casually, asking his combat officers to go ahead to fight.
In this raid, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo brought out a total of twenty-one combat jounin and six auxiliary ninjas. Even if the two of them didn't take action, the combat jounin of the mobile unit could easily destroy this force of more than seventy rain ninjas.
Twenty-one figures were like arrows leaving the string, and they couldn't wait to kill in the direction of Yu Ren.
Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo walked through the rain forest unhurriedly.
By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over.
The jounin's movements were unusually crisp and neat.
"Actually, I still don't understand, how Hanzo was able to reach the three major countries' continuous attacks?" Looking at the six rain ninja prisoners who stayed in front of him, Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little puzzled, "The quality of the rain ninja... ...It’s just a little stronger than the grass ninjas, how can you withstand it?”
"Pooh!"
A rain ninja, who was still full of rebelliousness even though his whole body was restrained, spat at Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised as he easily dodged it.
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"There are no ninjas under Hanzo-sama who are afraid of death!"
Yu Ren's tone was extremely firm.
"I was thinking of telling you that if I told you the information, I would let you live..." Uchiha Tokumitsu scratched his chin, "Since you are such a tough guy, then I won't humiliate you..."
"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the rain ninja to choose.
"Anything is fine, just be neat and tidy."
"What's your name?" Uchiha Tokumitsu admired the spirit of this rain ninja who regarded death as his own. "You are a strong willed person and worthy of my respect."
"Sawajiro."
Yu Ren closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
"What about you? Are you willing to live a little longer and continue to communicate?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the other five rain ninjas.
The five rain ninjas said nothing and closed their eyes.
They expressed their choice with silence.
"Considering death..."
Uchiha Tokko was a little emotional.
"I respect your choice."
He took out a flying needle and stabbed it directly from the ear into Yu Ren's brain.
After his body was stiff for a while, he fell to the ground with a "plop".
The other five rain ninja remained unmoved and waited with their eyes closed.
"It's really..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu has experienced many wars, and this is the first time he has seen an enemy who is not afraid of death.
"Forget it..." Uchiha Tokko waved his hand, "Let you go!"
Looking at Hatake Sakumo, he also nodded slightly.
The combat jounin of the mobile unit used a kunai to cut the rope that bound the rain ninja.
The five rain ninjas stood up in confusion.
But under the gaze of twenty-one jounin, he did not dare to make any move.
"Let's go..."
Hatake Sakumo waved to them.
The rain ninjas looked at each other and slowly backed away.
After being tens of meters away from the mobile unit, he used the teleportation technique to escape.
Hatake Sakumo picked up an Amae ninja's kunai from the ground, played with it, and then handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
After weighing the kunai for a moment, Uchiha Tokko frowned.
He casually took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and without injecting chakra into it to harden it, he just slashed it directly at the rain ninja's kunai.
"Qiang!"
The rain ninja's kunai broke in response, and Uchiha Tokumitsu's kunai didn't even have a gap.
With such inferior ninja tools, how on earth could the rain nin resist the attacks of the three major powers?
"Speaking of which, Danzo is really extremely incompetent! The loss is so serious just to deal with such a weak enemy!" Uchiha Tokumitsu threw away the broken rain kunai and complained to Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo smiled bitterly, "Ame Ninja...has nothing but courage."
He also doesn't like this kind of battle.
"What a boring battle..." Uchiha Tokumitsu cursed in a low voice.
This was the first time he felt disgusted with war and killing.
