Once a war starts, it is difficult to stop it.
The battle report of Kaguya's Column's Rain Ninja Detachment Formation and Water Country Guan Haku's battle report quickly arrived at Midway Island and was quickly presented to Uchiha Tokko.
"...Move the third and fourth detachments over again!"
After reading the battle report, Uchiha Tokumitsu also felt a little headache.
Guan Bai from the Kingdom of Water is originally the most noble being among the clan, plus he is the younger brother of the daimyo...
It seems that the scale of the war will continue to escalate.
Uchiha Tokumitsu invested nearly 700 elite ninja troops in the battlefield of Water Kingdom. Together with the Kirigakure ninjas who instigated rebellion during the wolf offensive in the eastern region, there are now nearly 800 people.
Although the scale of the Ninja Army has further expanded, its combat effectiveness has declined instead of rising, so Uchiha Tokko is also prepared to order the withdrawal of the troops in due course.
But withdrawing troops does not mean giving up the war with Kirigakure. It only means voluntarily giving up some early battle plans in a short period of time and making certain tactical deployment adjustments.
…
On the seventh day of the offensive against the Kirigakure wolves, the first ninja troops withdrawing from the battle returned to Midway Island.
The troops returning to Midway Island were the Kaguya column and the Rain Ninja detachment.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu personally went to the port to greet him, and enthusiastically patted the ninja on the shoulder to show his closeness.
"This time the spoils will be divided into 30 and 70, and we will definitely not treat everyone badly!"
Seeing the returning ninja soldiers lining up to hand in seal scrolls one after another, Uchiha Tokko could no longer suppress the smile on his lips and said.
"Thank you, Lord Tokuguang!"
All the rain ninjas were very excited.
Uchiha Tokumitsu complimented him a few more words casually, and then made an appointment with Jonin Amada for a time for face-to-face discussions and left with everyone.
"...But it's a pity that it's only 30%."
After Uchiha Tokumitsu left, someone in the Rain Ninja team whispered in a low voice.
"Who! Who said this!"
The face of Jonin Amada immediately turned gloomy, and his sinister eyes glanced at his subordinates viciously.
"A bunch of bastards who were blinded by their interests! How dare you question Master Bei Deguang's wishes! How shameful!"
All the rain ninjas were trembling with fear.
"What 30%! It's 70%!"
Jonin Amada cursed angrily: "The share of the spoils that Lord Tokumitsu gave us is 70%!"
The rain ninjas were immediately in an uproar.
Their rain ninja was a ninja troop assigned to Kaguya's column and was responsible for breaking and chasing various waterways, and happened to rob a large number of merchant ships.
Although the goods were valuable, the rain ninjas who came from afar lacked the necessary sales channels.
Because of this, the rain ninjas were not very resistant to handing over their loot.
But they definitely didn’t expect to get such a high share ratio!
In Yu Ren's understanding, it is extremely good to be able to finally realize five achievements from the spoils obtained in the battle, and now to get seventy percent is simply nectar from heaven!
You must know that although these goods are valuable, they still need to be sold through certain channels to realize the corresponding hard currency.
It's just that Yu Ninja didn't know how terrifying Uchiha Tokko's ability to sell stolen goods was when he built a transnational special trade distribution network.
What's more, there are a series of hidden tricks that are extremely difficult for outsiders to detect, such as lowering the valuation, buying low and selling high, waiting for them!
…
After arranging the affairs of the headquarters, Amada Jonin came to Uchiha Tokko's office under the leadership of the attendant ninja.
"Good day, Lord Tokumitsu..."
Jonin Amada behaved very reservedly, even a little nervous.
He didn't know if the wonderful performance in the loot collection area had time to reach Uchiha Tokko.
"No need to be polite, sit down!"
With a smile on his face, Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed to the seat next to him and said to Jonin Amada.
He was still reading one by one the battle reports and the various intelligences described by the Kirigakure ninjas who had joined him.
"...Yu Ren's performance is still very good!"
After a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu put away the documents and said to the Amada Jounin: "Whether it is the headquarters or the Amada ninjas assigned to each column, their performance in battle is elite!"
Among the one hundred and twenty ninjas who participated in the war, sixty were split up by Uchiha Tokumitsu and assigned to the Ghost Light Column and the Minazuki Column as auxiliary troops to do dirty work.
Sixty people led by Jonin Amada formed a combat detachment, and together with the Kaguya column, they carried out attacks on various waterways in the Land of Water.
Whether it was the Rain Ninja detachment assigned to the other two columns or the Rain Ninja headquarters forming a combat force, their performance in the battle was quite remarkable.
"Master Deguang's recognition is the greatest compliment to us!"
Immediately, Jonin Amada stood up in fear and responded: "Your wise command and wonderful deployment are the most fundamental reason why we can continue to win on the battlefield!"
Although it was flattering, Amada Jounin felt that this was not shabby!
Ninja! Make money! How shabby!
But in the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was used to hearing about high-end horses, the flattering skills of Amada Jonin were still too superficial and too pyrotechnic.
"Everything else is fine, except for military discipline... Please pay more attention to it, Jonin Amada!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded again, which immediately made Jonin Amada feel excited.
What he was most worried about happened!
"Why did the Rain Ninja detachment break away from Kaguya's column and enter the interior of the Kingdom of Water alone, attack the Daimyo's army and kill Guan Bai?"
Uchiha Tokko asked calmly.
The corners of Amada Jonin's mouth trembled and sweat began to form on his forehead.
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't urge him, he just looked at Amada Jounin quietly.
"... I was trying to plunder and led the team out privately during the break, which led to the accident."
Under Uchiha Tokko's gaze, Amada Jounin finally admitted his mistake.
"Lord Tokumitsu, I am willing to accept the punishment of military discipline, but please forgive my subordinates. They all think that they blindly follow the command..."
"What did you say?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said in a brisk tone: "I think it's very good that you can consciously admit your mistakes, so this matter has been revealed."
"Thank you Lord Tokuguang for your forgiveness!"
Jōnin Amada was overjoyed.
The mood switch between great sorrow and great joy was so fast that the body of Jonin Amada felt a little weak.
"But the war will inevitably escalate, and the original plan needs to be redeployed..."
Uchiha Tokko said calmly.
Jonin Amada's heart rose to his throat again.
"Lord Tokuguang! Please give us another chance. We will never violate military discipline again, and we will fight bravely on the battlefield!"
Jonin Amada's tone was extremely urgent.
It's rare to hold such a thick leg like the Uchiha clan, so the Amada Jounin naturally cherishes it very much.
Besides, if the Uchiha clan's war orders were lost because of this, the poor Rain ninja would not know how long it would take to save the funds to rebuild their home and train new ninjas.
"I didn't mean to accuse you..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was still calm and calm, but he was very satisfied inside.
Successful CPU!
The shock of Amada Jounin's rapid switching of emotions between self-blame and gratitude made him gradually develop an inexplicable sense of surrender to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"It's just that the scale and intensity of the war will inevitably increase, so..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu slowed down a little and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"...So, I plan to increase the number of rain ninja mercenaries, what do you think?"
When Jonin Amada heard this, his heart suddenly felt relieved.
"How many people does Tokumitsu-sama hope to continue to employ?"
Amada Jonin asked respectfully.
"When I lead an army in battle, I never care about the number of subordinates. The more the better!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "If Mr. Hanzo is willing, as long as I can pay the price, I wouldn't mind hiring him to join the war..."
"There are currently about 2,000 ninjas registered in the village. As long as Lord Tokumitsu is willing, it should be no problem to recruit another 1,000 people!"
Without hesitation, Amada Jounin revealed the truth about the village.
"As for Hanzo-sama... I don't dare to be expert. I need to report to you before making a decision."
Uchiha Tokko was even more satisfied.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."
Uchiha Tokko said warmly: "How about three days? I'll give you three days."
"enough!"
Jonin Amada's tone was also very firm.
"very good!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded approvingly, "Then go back with the war dividends! I will ask the internal affairs department to speed up the distribution."
"Thank you, Lord Tokuguang, for your concern!"
Upon hearing this, Jonin Amada immediately stood up and bowed deeply, then said goodbye and left.
After walking outside the court, he was stirred by the sea breeze and realized that his back had been soaked with sweat at some point.
"so far so good……"
Unknown to himself, Jonin Amada, who had been completely tricked, patted his chest and was very satisfied with his wit.
Master Hanzo must be very happy to receive such a large war task order...
Full of longing, Amada Jounin walked towards the Amada camp.
…
As he read through the battle reports and special circumstances, Uchiha Tokumitsu already had a plan for the next battle in his mind.
According to intelligence, the garrisoned ninjas who were originally scattered throughout the Land of Water have begun to assemble under the rotation of ninja troops dispatched from outside the Kirigakure Ninja Village.
The number of Kirigakure garrison ninja troops assembled may be up to four thousand.
This is one-third of the ninja army of Kirigakure Ninja Village!
What's more, there are strong men like Goju Yagura and the remnants of the Ninja Touji who may be watching in secret.
Moreover, the famous Kirigakure Anbu never showed up in the war from beginning to end.
Uchiha Tokko, whose strength was limited, had to be cautious.
"Lord Tokumitsu, both the Ghost Light Column and the Minazuki Column are back..."
One of the attendant ninjas knocked gently on the door and whispered.
"Call them over~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered, "The commander of Kaguya's column also asked him to come with him!"
"As you command!"
After a while, Onito Masahiko, Minazuki Chino and Kaguya Toranosuke, the leader of the Kaguya clan, came to Uchiha Tokko's office together.
"Good day, my lord!"
All three of them have already submitted themselves to the shogunate, so they also worship as retainers.
"Sit down, don't be formal."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "Guan Bai died in the battle of Water Country. The daimyo will definitely not give up. There is a high probability that he will support the Ninja Village to continue the fight, so the war will definitely escalate again..."
All three nodded in agreement.
"What we have to plan is to shrink tactically and adopt flexible attack methods to continuously devour small groups of Kirigakure units, so as to reduce the battle losses as much as possible and at the same time cannibalize the Kirigakure ninja army."
Uchiha Tokumitsu revealed his strategic layout.
The three of them continued to nod.
They are not good at battlefield layout and strategic battle combinations, and they don't understand anything other than nodding.
"The three tribes must go all out!"
Uchiha Tokko said in a serious tone.
"As you command!"
Masahiko Kito, Chino Minazuki and Kaguya Toranosuke all looked solemn and stood up to respond.
In addition to the registered ninjas of the Zhengyi Column, the three clans also retain some family ninjas. This is also one of the autonomous powers specially approved by Uchiha Tokimitsu.
But in the face of the upcoming war, there is no room for continued preservation of strength.
"In addition to the frontal battlefield, work behind enemy lines is also very important..."
Uchiha Demitsu's eyes turned to Oniden Masahiko.
"Jōnin Masahiko, you must be responsible for this aspect of the work, and try your best to activate the lurking secrets and dig out more intelligence."
"As you command!"
Ghost Light Masahiko stood up again and responded in a deep voice.
Although the three clans suffered heavy losses in the genocide launched by the Mizukage, and their foundations in the Kirigakure Ninja Village were uprooted and completely eradicated, after all, Oni Deng and Minazuki were both members of the Mizukage family of the first two generations, and in the Kingdom of Water There are still some undiscovered secrets that are still lurking.
This is the time to play the role of those hidden elements.
"You don't have to worry about the rest. I will send elite troops from other places to help."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also saw the anxiety behind the calmness of the three, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "The ninja coalition forces of the Red Guards and the United Fisheries Company will also arrive soon to join the war."
"With Master Tokuguang's plan, we will naturally feel at ease."
Minazuki Qiannuo immediately praised him.
"The direction the Lord's sword points at is the direction in which we will charge!"
Kaguya Toranosuke finally found an opportunity and recited the literary flattery he had memorized for a long time.
Uchiha Tokko nodded to him with satisfaction.
It also made Masahiko Ghost Light and Chino Minazuki look at him sideways.
…
Yes, after the smuggling business was wiped out, the United Aquatics Company still existed and was even more closely connected.
In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu achieved very impressive results in the first Kirigakure conquest launched by Uchiha, so it is not difficult to recruit ninja troops who are close to the ninja clan to fight.
It's just... whether it's the Red Bei Team or the Ninja Alliance, it's all the flesh on the palm and back of Uchiha Tokko's hand, and no matter which piece falls off, it will be painful.
Therefore, a sufficient number of cannon fodder troops are still needed...
Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes were cast in the direction of the Land of Rain.
Even if the Rain Ninja can't come with a thousand people, the five or six hundred people they can hire are pretty good, which is enough for a big battle.
I just wonder if the respected demigod Hanzo-sama would be willing to accept employment to fight?
Uchiha Demitsu fell into deep thought.
Double updates will resume tomorrow. Please allow me to take a rest tonight.
It feels like my whole brain has been turned into mush after being beaten for days.
