Uchiha Tokumitsu swung his knife like a lumberjack to split open the exoskeleton protection of a Kaguya ninja who was seriously injured and fell to the ground with bone spurs all over his body, and then beheaded him like a saw.
The Kodachi sword, which had accompanied him on his northern and southern expeditions since the beginning of the war, was full of chips due to high-frequency and high-intensity swings and collisions.
It was so easy to have a knife, but after this battle it became a hand saw.
The war was over. Except for three of the Kaguya Ninja Army who were seriously injured and captured, the rest fell under the sword of the Uchiha Ninja Army. The four hundred or so Kirigakure Ninja who accompanied the army immediately collapsed after all the Kaguya Ninja Army were lost. And escape.
Uchiha Tokumitsu had no interest in arranging for his ninjas to hunt him down.
After all, fighting across the sea has never been the home of Uchiha battles specialized in fire escape.
"Kaguya's bones are really hard..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu took out the sealing scroll from the scroll sleeve of the Jounin uniform, took out a spare short sword, and swung it. He felt that it didn't have the same feel as the commonly used Kodachi.
"The Kaguya clan is known as the best in Kirigakure's close combat, but they still fell to the sword of the brave Lord Tokumitsu..."
The Uchiha Jonin on the side complimented loudly.
During this battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu demonstrated his strength to the fullest and completely convinced all the Uchiha tribesmen who participated in the battle.
"The damage to the clan members is not small..."
Uchiha Tokko looked around the battlefield and sighed a little sadly.
In this battle, twenty-two Uchiha clan members were killed, all of whom were at the chuunin level; forty-nine people were injured, two of whom were jounin.
Three of the twelve Hyuga ninjas who gathered back to the team died in this battle.
In other words, at least until the wounded recovered, the Uchiha Ninja Army lost nearly half of its combatants.
"But there are also thirteen tribesmen who broke through and awakened the three Magatama Sharingan during this battle. This is the greatest joy."
The Uchiha jounin said seriously: "Lord Tokumitsu, it is true that the life of every clan member is precious, and your compassion also moves us, but the Sanmagatama jounin is the most precious elite of the family..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of discussing the rights and wrongs of this kind of thinking based entirely on power, and just nodded slightly noncommittally.
Under the medical ninjutsu treatment of the Uzumaki ninja, the injured Uchiha ninja quickly regained his ability to move. Although his face was still pale and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, he would not become a burden to the ninja army.
"Speed up and clear the battlefield! We are about to move!"
Uchiha Demitsu frowned and shouted.
"yes!"
The Uchiha ninjas all responded, speeding up to clear the battlefield and lay traps.
"Lord Tokumitsu..."
A Hyuga ninja stepped forward and bowed.
"Jōnin Shuhiro, have you discovered the enemy's situation?"
Hyuuga Shuhiro is one of the jonins led by Hyuga Ninja who was ordered to join the Uzumaki Country war zone to assist in the military intelligence reconnaissance mission.
"Relay report from the front, the Ghost Light Division of the Kirigakure Ninja Army is heading towards the headquarters, please make your decision."
"Where is the main formation of Kirigakure in the northwest?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with a frown.
"The Kirigakure Formation is advancing towards the hinterland of the Country of Whirlpool, and no abnormal dispatch conditions have been found."
Hinata Shuhiro replied.
"Get ready to transfer. You serve as the guide going south, and we will ambush the Kirigakure Ninja Army of the Onidenbe!"
"As you command!"
Hyuga Shuhiro bowed again and retired, and summoned his Hyuga ninjas to disperse and conduct preset battlefield surveillance.
In order to grasp every move on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Whirlpool as much as possible, Tokko Uchiha dispersed sixty Hyuga ninjas throughout the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and they provided timely intelligence to the Uchiha Ninja Army responsible for the operation.
The reporting of intelligence is carried out through multiple relays.
That is, after each Hyuga ninja discovered the enemy's situation, he set up corresponding code signs at the designated location. After the Hyuga ninjas behind found the code signs, they set up code signs in turn to convey information to the combat headquarters.
Although this will cause the same information to be transmitted back multiple times, which is slightly less efficient, it can ensure that all Kirigakure dynamics are under the control of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
After a while, the Uchiha Ninja Army completed the battlefield cleanup and gathered in front of Uchiha Tokko to listen to the instructions.
"The next combat mission is to go south to ambush the Kirigakure Ninja Army of the Onidenbube!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said seriously: "Leave immediately in five minutes! Prepare for the war now!"
"As you command!"
The Uchiha ninjas lowered their heads and shouted, and quickly checked and replenished combat supplies.
"The injured tribesmen do not need to participate in the first batch of battles..." Uchiha Tokumitsu said to the sixty-nine injured Uchiha ninjas, "I have other arrangements for your combat sequence."
Then he said to the Uzumaki Ninja: "Please help me set up a hidden barrier..."
"It is an honor to serve you."
The Uzumaki ninja bowed and said quickly.
After the injured Uchiha ninjas were classified as the second combat echelon, Uchiha Tokumitsu could only invest seventy people in the battle, including nineteen jounin.
"If you fly a kite after the ambush, it should be fine..."
After taking out the map, Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly determined two preset battlefields based on the northward route of the Kirigakure Onitobu.
Among them, the main battlefield is located on the north side of the Kirigakure Oniden Club. Three Uzumaki ninjas will set up a hidden barrier and send a small team to pretend to be a small team to lure the enemy. If the enemy is driven away by a small group of ninja troops, they will be eaten. If it is a large attack, the ambush troops will attack it, and then immediately break away from the battle and withdraw to the second position garrisoned by the wounded.
Although he felt a little sorry for having his clan members injured and went into battle, this was also a helpless move by Uchiha Tokumitsu in order to maximize the fighting power of the ninja army at his disposal.
"Lord Tokumitsu, there are three prisoners of Kaguya, how should we arrange them?" An Uchiha jounin stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "If we want to move the battle now, why don't we simply..."
After saying that, he made a gesture of slashing with a knife.
Uchiha Tokumitsu understood what he meant, and after thinking about it, he decided to keep these Kaguya prisoners, "Leave them to the second combat echelon to take them, and arrange a wounded person to keep an eye on them."
"And... Kaguya tribesmen who are willing to become prisoners are too precious." Uchiha Tokumitsu said to the Uchiha Jonin who was trying to kill the prisoners: "They should not be so brainless, but if they try to resist or If you escape, you will be killed immediately!"
"As you command!"
The Uchiha jounin was ordered to leave.
"Kaguya..." Uchiha Tokumitsu led his men to set off while thinking about how to make full use of these Kaguya tribe members.
"Lord Tokumitsu!"
An Uchiha ninja suddenly screamed.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was about to scold him, but when he looked in the direction pointed by his arm, he saw three huge red smoke pillars rising in the west of the Country of Whirlpool and in the east of the Country of Fire.
"Hatake Sakumo..."
Uchiha Tokko breathed a sigh of relief.
This signal means that the ninja coalition forces led by Hatake Sakumo on the other side of the strait have successfully landed and joined.
The morale of the Uchiha ninja army was greatly boosted upon seeing this.
Uchiha Tokumitsu casually summoned a slightly injured clan member and warned: "Quickly go to Sakumo's ninja army and inform them of the headquarters' developments. After defeating the Kirigakure Ghost Club, I will return to the division and attack the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost with him." Our formation!"
The Uchiha ninja was ordered to leave. Uchiha Tokko looked around and ordered:
"Gentlemen, follow me south to attack Kirigakure!"
…
The commander of the Kirigakure Oniden Division, Oniden Shuitai, worriedly led his men northward along the coastline.
Although the landing site he chose was in the southern sea area of the Kaguya tribe, the distance was not too far. Before the division of troops, the two ninja armies also agreed to contact the Ninja Eagle to exchange intelligence.
Although the Kaguya clan was unruly, as ninjas they also knew the importance of information, so they agreed to this agreement.
However, the contact between the two parties only disappeared after Kaguya sent out the first Ninja Eagle announcement of encountering the Uchiha Ninja Army. Even the few Ninja Eagles he released did not reply.
"What the hell is Kaguya's madman doing..."
According to the liaison requirements of the Ninja Army during combat, personnel should be assigned full-time to be responsible for intelligence liaison. Even during war, intelligence liaison personnel will not be allowed to participate in the battle.
But after all, this is the Kaguya family, which is famous for its madness. No one knows what kind of situation these crazy guys will cause.
If it were any other time, forget it, but Kaguya also released the Ninja Eagle to notify the Uchiha Ninja Army of the battle, and then there was no news...
Therefore, either the Kaguya tribe was fighting and put the intelligence liaison officer on the battlefield, so there was no time to reply; or the entire army was wiped out; or the Ninja Eagle was secretly shot down by the Uchiha Ninja Army.
However, the height at which the ninja eagle flies is beyond the reach of most ninjutsu in the ninja world, and according to intelligence records, the Uchiha clan does not have flying ninjutsu and super long-range strike ninjutsu, so the current situation of the Kaguya ninja army is only There are only two possibilities left: fighting and the whole army being destroyed.
Gui Deng Shuitai kept thinking about various possible situations, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, almost bubbling at the corner of his mouth.
He quickly took out a water bottle and drank a few gulps to replenish his water.
"This sun is killing me!"
Looking up at the scorching sun, Gui Deng Shuitai kept cursing.
Although the hydration secret technique inherited by the Ghost Lantern clan has greatly strengthened the water escape talent of its people, and after successful practice, it can be immune to most physical attacks through the hydration of the body, it also brings the flaw of being afraid of thunder and heat.
It didn't matter in the Kingdom of Water where there was always haze, but now when marching on the coast of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, with no obstructions along the way and exposed to the sun, the ninjas of the Oniden clan felt like they were about to suffer from heatstroke.
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
"Fire Release: The Art of Fire Dragon!"
Suddenly, six Uchiha ninjas jumped out of the forest to the left of the Kirigakure ninja army, and they jointly used ninjutsu to attack.
Caught off guard, several chuunin and genin in the Kirigakure ninja army on the left wing were hit head-on by the Fire Release Ninjutsu. They had no time to scream and became charred corpses.
The Kirigakure ninja troops on the left wing who were on guard immediately rushed towards the attacking Uchiha ninjas.
The six Uchiha ninjas threw out a lot of ninja tools and immediately turned around and retreated. There was another figure in Konoha ninja costumes in the forest who also quickly retreated.
"You're a piece of trash! What's the use of you!"
Ghost Light Shuitai grabbed the Sensing Ninja and was about to beat him up.
"Sir Shuitai, forgive me! It's the whirlpool!" The sensing ninja shouted quickly: "It's the whirlpool ninja that blocked my perception!"
"Uzumaki..." Oniden Shuitai noticed the Konoha ninja retreating alone.
Since he is a member of the Uzumaki clan, it makes sense that his perception is blocked.
Ghost Light Shuitai threw away the Sensing Ninja and ordered: "Follow me immediately, I want to capture that Uzumaki Ninja alive!"
After giving the order, a Kirigakure jounin immediately took the order and led his troops to pursue him.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
There were bursts of explosions and screams of Kirigakure ninjas in the forest.
"The left wing chasing ninja army stepped into a trap!"
The sensory ninja beside Ghost Light Shuitai quickly reported.
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Ghost Light Shuitai was extremely angry and knocked the Sensing Ninja to the ground with a slap.
"The second and third detachments will pursue immediately!"
Immediately, a team of nearly two hundred Kirigakure ninjas assembled and quickly entered the forest to pursue the attackers.
At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu led twelve jonins to hide in the forest. The dense branches and leaves obscured their figures, and the barrier of the Uzumaki ninja blocked the remote detection of the sensing ninja.
"Prepare……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu saw from a distance the Uzumaki ninjas who were fleeing in embarrassment and the Uchiha ninjas who were fighting and retreating.
There were about twenty Kirigakure ninjas entangled with Uchiha ninjas, and there were about two hundred Kirigakure ninjas hanging not far behind.
After a while, the Uzumaki ninja running away at full speed passed by, and the Uchiha ninja's retreat became slower and slower.
"beat!"
Uchiha Tokko waved his hand and jumped out of the trees first.
"Fire Escape: Fire is extinguished!"
A ball of condensed chakra fire erupted from Uchiha Tokko's mouth, and then immediately turned into a sea of fire in the wind, instantly igniting a forest in front of him.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The first wave of Kirigakure chasing Uchiha ninjas had no time to stop and change direction, and fell into the sea of fire.
"Fire Release: The Art of Fire Dragon!"
The Uchiha jonins all used ninjutsu, and the fire dragons rushed into the sea of fire, burning the Kirigakure ninja who had just escaped from the sea of fire into charcoal.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"
The Kirigakure ninjas pursuing from behind all used water release ninjutsu to protect themselves and tried to extinguish the sea of fire in front of them.
"retreat!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu really hates fighting.
Anyway, there are a lot of interceptions and ambushes set up along the way, so there are plenty of opportunities to fight Kirigakure slowly.
Under the bombardment of the water escape ninjutsu of about two hundred Kirigakure, the sea of fire was quickly extinguished.
At this time, dozens of Kirigakure ninjas came around from the side of the sea of fire, trying to outflank them.
Uchiha Tokko quickly led his troops to retreat.
At this time, the Uzumaki ninja was no longer visible and should have arrived at another ambush location for cover.
"Send a signal! Notify this formation that Uchiha Tokko is found!"
A jounin from the Kirigakure pursuit force shouted loudly.
Then two flares, one red and one yellow, rose up.
At the same time, there were a lot of various water escape ninjutsus coming towards the Uchiha ninja army.
"Uchiha Fire Formation!"
Eight Uchiha jounin teamed up to activate the Uchiha secret barrier technique.
A wall of fire rose from the ground. Blocked Kirigakure's ninjutsu bombardment.
But the wall of fire didn't last long before it was broken by a massive amount of water escape ninjutsu.
But this time was enough for the Uchiha ninja army to avoid the water attack and run further.
The ghosts and lights arrayed on the beach saw the signal flares and immediately jumped up.
"All members of this headquarters will follow me to pursue me!"
"This battle must annihilate the Uchiha forces in one fell swoop. In five days, I will take you back to the village in triumph to receive your reward!"
The Kirigakure ninja army howled like wild beasts and followed the commander into the forest.
I'm on a business trip today and I'm still on the high-speed rail, so I can only update once...
