Uchiha Tokumitsu successfully reunited with Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru, and the ninja troops under their command, in addition to mobile troops and other elite ninja troops, the ordinary ninja troops were organized on the basis of small teams and retreated to Kirigakure. Press in the direction.
After dispersing the ninja army, although they may easily break through the encirclement due to Kirigakure's large-scale counterattack, at least they don't have to worry about being annihilated by a sudden tailed beast jade, and the elite ninja army in the hands of a few people is also Can carry out rescue in time.
It seemed that Kirigakure was indeed about to evacuate the Land of Fire. The Konoha ninja army, which kept a proper distance, followed them and advanced unimpeded, without encountering any counterattacks or attacks by the Kirigakure ninjas.
"Ahead is the Tsugaru Gorge, which is the only strait suitable for ships to dock..."
Hatake Sakumo took the map, compared the trajectory along the way, and deduced the retreat destination of the Kirigakure Second Army.
"Has the Sensing Ninja discovered anything?"
Orochimaru asked.
"No unusual movement was found..."
The jounin in charge of the perception class quickly replied.
"It seems that Kirigakure is indeed going to retreat, but..." Orochimaru turned his eyes to Uchiha Tokumitsu: "Tokumitsu-kun, what do you think?"
"See with your eyes."
Uchiha Tokimitsu replied casually out of boredom.
"Haha...what an interesting answer!"
Orochimaru was not angry after choking, but just laughed a few times.
"It's a good thing after all... Our combat strength is very tired, so it would be good to end the war..."
Hatake Sakumo put away the map and sighed.
"But if it ends like this, there is no way to get compensation from Kirigakure. Will the village still have money to pay our IOU?"
Uchiha Demitsu said smoothly.
"this……"
Hatake Sakumo also had a headache.
What the ninja clan got after handing over the family ninjas was just a white note, but it must be paid after the war. If Kirigakure's surrender compensation is not received by then, and the village's finances cannot pay the debt, it is estimated that even he, the Jonin squad leader, will Can't get any better.
Who allowed all the family ninjas to join the war under Hatake Sakumo?
"If we want Kirigakure to completely surrender, we probably have to reach the mainland of Water Country..." Orochimaru also interjected: "Otherwise, Kirigakure, who is alone overseas, will not give up."
"...The expedition across the sea to Kirigakure has almost no chance of success."
Hatake Sakumo certainly knew how difficult it would be to get Kirigakure to surrender and pay compensation, so he didn't hold out much hope.
Just when a few people were relaxing and chatting casually, the jounin in charge of the sensing class suddenly ran over.
"grown ups!"
The jounin in charge of the sensing class, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, reported breathlessly: "I found two people blocking the front, namely Goju Yagura and..."
The jounin in charge of the sensing class swallowed: "...Kirigakure Mizukage!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru were all shocked when they heard this.
Mizukage, one of the leaders of the five great ninja villages, actually came to the battlefield in person!
"Inform the ninja troops in front immediately to change their marching direction!"
Uchiha Tokko reacted first and immediately ordered.
"Yes! In addition to scouting ninjas, the frontline ninja troops quickly avoid the front!"
Hatake Sakumo also reacted immediately.
Teams of ninjas were ordered to jump forward quickly.
"It seems Kirigakure is not willing to accept his failure!"
Uchiha Tokko sneered and jumped forward first.
Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru looked at each other and immediately followed.
If there were only the Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura, they felt that they could still handle it.
The previous battles were mainly because they had to take care of the ninja troops under their command to prevent them from being attacked by Gotachibana Yagura's tailed beasts, but this did not mean that they could not defeat the three-tailed jinchuriki Gotachibana Yagura.
"Have the ninja troops on the front lines evacuated?"
Hatake Sakumo had already noticed the two figures standing on the treetops in front of him. It was the Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura who were waiting for the arrival of Konoha ninjas.
"It has been evacuated to both wings, and another one has gone around to the rear to cut off the path of the Kirigakure ninja army!"
A jounin quickly replied.
"very good!"
Hatake Sakumo nodded with satisfaction.
It's time to let go and use all your strength to fight the two strong men of Kirigakure in an all-out battle!
…
Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to jump on the tree in front of the two Kirigakure strongmen, and took off the sword Samehada on his back and carried it in his right hand. The three Magatama Sharingan looked at the Third Mizukage and Goji with provocation. Tachibana Yagura.
Gotachibana Yagura lowered his head slightly to avoid the gaze of Sharingan. Before turning on the tailed beast mode, he didn't want to try whether Uchiha Tokumitsu's genjutsu skills passed the test.
But the Third Mizukage looked directly into Uchiha Tokimitsu's scarlet eyes without fear, as if looking at a pair of peerless treasures.
Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru also fell next to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"What a pair of eyes that are like the most precious works of art..."
The Third Mizukage spoke slowly, with an indescribable hoarseness in his voice, as if he were sharpening iron with a file, "I'm reluctant to destroy such beautiful eyes..."
Uchiha Tokko frowned and turned his gaze to Goju Yagura, who was unmoved.
He was a little unsure whether the Mizukage in front of him was under control.
But judging from Gotachibana Yagura's current state, he should have been familiar with the unpleasant voice of the Third Mizukage for a long time.
"Isn't it Uchiha Madara..."
Uchiha Tokko was also a bit elusive.
"Master Mizukage is here in person, please let me wait for a while to show my friendship as a landlord..."
Hatake Sakumo slowly drew out the White Fang dagger for which he was famous, and held it in front of his eyes.
Orochimaru also took out a long sword from the seal scroll, but it was not the Kusanagi sword that Uchiha Tokumitsu had seen.
"The juniors of Konoha are becoming more and more rude..."
The third Mizukage was unmoved and just smiled, like an elder looking at his incompetent and rebellious descendant, "Compared with Mr. Hashirama, you don't look like Konoha ninjas..."
When the third generation Mizukage was young, he accompanied the first generation Mizukage Hakuren to participate in the first Five Kage Conference as a Kage Guard. In terms of seniority, he was the elder of the three, and it was not a big deal to say this.
"It seems you are getting old too..."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Uchiha Tokko's mouth, "Since it is a remnant of the old era, then it is better to return to the pure land like Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama!"
"Kaleidoscope Eye Technique·The God-Emperor's Spiritual Lord!"
"Magic·Yaohang Technique!"
The three magatama in Uchiha Tokko's eyes quickly merged into the Mangekyō Sharingan, urging the pupil technique in his left eye to amplify and quickly activated the Golden Binding Genjutsu.
"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"
Goju Yagura seemed to be very confident in the Third Mizukage's illusion resistance. He did not immediately help Mizukage out of the siege, but instead activated the Water Release Ninjutsu to set off a huge wave.
"Earth Escape·Earth Escape River!"
Orochimaru quickly held his sword and formed a seal, turning the soil on the ground into a flowing river of sand, which destroyed the big tree where Kirigakure and the two were standing.
Then, the big river of earth carried the sand and slammed it together with the huge waves set off by Goju Yagura.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The collision between the earth river and the huge waves triggered a violent chakra explosion, and at the same time, Goju Yagura's idea of creating an environment conducive to water escape ninjutsu through ninjutsu was ruined.
As soon as the Third Mizukage jumped from the big tree that was swallowed by the earth current, Hatake Sakumo jumped out of the swamp like a ghost and swung his sword to take out his legs.
"Water Release·Water Cutting Technique!"
An almost invisible line of water spurted out from the mouth of the Third Mizukage and shot towards the hands of Hatake Sakumo who slashed with his sword.
Hatake Sakumo immediately disappeared without a trace with a teleportation technique.
The seemingly soft water line cuts a bottomless gap in the muddy ground.
"Tsk..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the Third Mizukage's extremely profound water escape skills.
In the first round of testing, although neither of them went all out, it was considered a draw.
Hatake Sakumo turned around and landed next to Uchiha Tokumitsu without changing his expression, as if he was not the one who just got into the mire and launched a sneak attack.
Even the jounin vest on his body was not stained with mud and sand. I don't know how Hatake Sakumo did it.
"Such a ferocious sword technique, such a skillful sneak attack..." The Third Mizukage's eyes finally turned to Hatake Sakumo: "No wonder Yuanshi fell in your hands..."
"Mizukage-sama, thank you very much..."
Hatake Sakumo replied seemingly humbly.
But from Uchiha Tokumitsu's perspective, the sarcastic words of the Third Mizukage made Hatake Sakumo a little proud.
Orochimaru also uncharacteristically suppressed the usual cold smile on his face, and looked at the Third Mizukage with a solemn expression.
The so-called 'Water Cutting Technique' that Mizukage had just performed gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"It's exactly the same as the second generation's Water Breaking Technique..."
After a while, a sentence slowly popped out of Orochimaru's mouth.
When Uchiha Tokko heard this, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.
"After the practice of Ninjutsu reaches a certain level, all limitations are no longer the technique itself, but the imagination of the practitioner."
After the third Mizukage finished speaking, he looked away from Orochimaru and looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu: "You think so? A descendant of the Uchiha family..."
"hehe……"
Uchiha Tokko laughed dryly, then drew out the Kodachi with his left hand and placed it across his chest.
He was almost certain that even if the person in front of him was not Uchiha Madara, he was still under the control of Age Madara.
There are two reasons.
First, the third generation Mizukage took over the genjutsu abruptly and had no reaction like a mud cow drowning in the sea. This is very abnormal. As a spell caster, Uchiha Tokko knew very well the power of illusions after the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique was amplified. Even the Third Hokage could stun him in person for a while before he could undo it. There was no reason why the Third Mizukage remained unmoved. nothing.
The second is that these words about the technique are exactly the same as what Madara Uchiha said about Fire Release in the memory of the previous life.
"You are very nervous..."
The third Mizukage looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu and said again.
Uchiha Tokumitsu did not reply, but stirred the chakra in his body and released it, forming a flame of fire that enveloped his whole body.
On the side, Goju Yagura also began to transform into a half-tailed beast without showing any signs of weakness, and the red three-tailed chakra also began to form a tailed beast suit.
"It's okay, don't be so impulsive."
The Third Mizukage said softly: "It's just that I haven't seen the Uchiha clan have such an outstanding junior for a long time, so I just want to say a few words with emotion..."
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of continuing to tangle with the third generation Mizukage who was suspected of being Uchiha Madara, and immediately used ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"
The Third Mizukage puffed up his mouth, and violently sprayed out a tsunami-like wave from his mouth, and then formed a huge water mass and pressed towards Uchiha Tokimitsu and the others.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and the other three immediately retreated.
The Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura rode on the water waves to catch up.
"Susanoh!"
The Mangekyou Sharingan in Uchiha's eyes rotates rapidly, and the power of the eyes and chakra are rapidly intertwined and released.
A half-length demon statue burst out.
"Kaleidoscope Eye Technique·The God-Emperor's Spiritual Lord!"
"The Technique of Flame Release·Long Yan Singing!"
After being amplified by the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, the four flame dragons shot towards the Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura who were chasing after the waterbender.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Continuous Bombs!"
With the help of the huge waves, the Third Mizukage easily summoned water dragons, flying continuously towards Uchiha Tokumitsu's Flame Dragon.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The huge explosion of chakra resounded throughout the world, and the smoke caused by the interaction of water and fire quickly spread.
"Ninjutsu: Kirigakure no Jutsu!"
Goju Yagura quickly activated the Kirigakure Jutsu using the water vapor.
The thick mist of chakra quickly opened towards Uchiha Tokoku and the others.
"Fire Release: Ashes Burning Technique!"
Orochimaru also quickly sprayed out a cloud of high-temperature smoke from his mouth to deal with the coverage of the Kirigakure Jutsu.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
Hatake Sakumo also immediately threw out a wind escape ninjutsu to help Orochimaru's smoke spread, and then immediately disappeared.
Hatake Sakumo is a traditional assassin-type ninja. Ninjutsu and bombardment are really not his specialty. Only by concealing his whereabouts can he create the greatest deterrence.
The mist and smoke slowly dissipated.
The figures of the Third Mizukage and Goju Yagura were slowly revealed.
Gotachibana Yagura seemed to be about to fully transform into a tailed beast, but the Third Mizukage pressed on his shoulders to forcefully stop this action.
"What a memorable power..."
Looking at Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo, the Third Mizukage sighed again, "This reminds me of the time when the God of Ninja was still alive..."
"snort!"
Uchiha Tokko snorted and dismissed Susanoo.
He also saw that the third Mizukage, or the manipulator behind it, Uchiha Madara, seemed to have no intention of fighting to the death, but was just chattering like a long-forgotten old man.
"Younger of the Uchiha family, you are still far from Uchiha Madara."
The third Mizukage said to Uchiha Tokumitsu: "I would like to call you the strongest Uchiha of our generation!"
Uchiha Tokko snorted coldly and did not respond.
Moreover, there are too many prefixes added to the words of the so-called strongest person of the Third Mizukage.
"All gifts given by fate have already been marked with a secret price."
The Third Mizukage also saw Uchiha Tokimitsu's dissatisfaction, and just chuckled twice: "If you are addicted to the power of evil for a long time, you will fall into the abyss of darkness sooner or later."
Uchiha Tokko's expression became even colder.
Doesn't the so-called dark abyss mean that if you use the Mangekyō Sharingan too much, you will go blind?
What is the purpose of his meaningful words!
"This is the end of the war!" The Third Mizukage turned and left without any regrets, "This battle is considered Konoha's victory!"
Goju Yagura also withdrew the released three-tailed chakra and left behind the third Mizukage.
Orochimaru looked thoughtfully at Uchiha Tokko, who had an indifferent expression.
Hatake Sakumo slowly appeared on a treetop.
But none of the three had any intention of continuing to pursue Mizukage.
"Send a flare..."
After a moment, Uchiha Demitsu said boringly, "Gather the ninja army back and stop engaging in unnecessary fighting."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and took out a special flare from his arms.
"Hey~"
A red flare shot into the sky.
Although they didn't know the reason, the Konoha ninjas who were lurking everywhere saw the signal flares and immediately stood up and retreated to the rear.
"A war that ends in an anticlimax..."
Orochimaru stood stunned for a moment, shook his head and sighed.
The war between Konoha and Kirigakure has come to an end. Let me think about the next chapter. You can see it when you wake up tomorrow morning.
(End of chapter)
