With the gathering of ninja troops from all sides, it is difficult to deploy so many ninja troops on Midway Island.
Therefore, under the auspices of Uzumaki Ninja, many surrounding islands were also built as Ninja Army garrison.
This conflict has officially escalated into a war and has attracted the attention of the ninja world.
Even though it is located deep in the sea and has no reputation, there are still countless spies trying to sneak into this sea area to peek into the reality of the ninja army under Uchiha Tokimitsu's command.
The maritime detective team composed of ninjas from the Kirigakure clan were even more exhausted and breathless. In the past few days, they had captured no less than 200 spies.
As the leader of the rain ninja, Sanshouyu Hanzo, who was recognized as a "demigod", officially left the village and led his troops to Midway Island to prepare for the war, the public opinion in the ninja world was even more uproar.
"Hokage-sama won't stop it, right?"
After witnessing the power of the ninja army under Uchiha Demitsu's command, a leader of the close ninja clan asked a little uneasily.
It's not that they are afraid of the Hokage's excommunication, but they are worried that if Uchiha Tokumitsu accidentally accepts the Hokage's order, the looting harvest they envisioned will be in vain.
"Hokage..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted coldly, "Konoha Sizhan is so powerful. Besides, how many jonin can Sarutobi Monkey have!"
To say that since Uchiha Tokumitsu launched the Kirigakure conquest, the one who felt the most humiliated was the Hokage of Konoha and the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
Nominally, Uchiha Tokumitsu is still a member of the Konoha ninja, and the Uchiha clan is also one of the Konoha ninja clans, but in fact, the Hokage clan has lost control over it.
After the first battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu recruited ninjas in Konoha and other small countries without even saying hello to the Hokage Building beforehand.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen once instructed Mito Kaden to try to intervene, but Hatake Sakumo blocked it because the military command department had other arrangements.
When the Hokage Building sent people to the Military Headquarters to request information about Kirigakure's conquest, Hatake Sakumo refused on the grounds that the war was not yet over and he was afraid that it would be classified.
In a word, there is no way to interfere!
Especially when the ninja clans affiliated with Uchiha mobilized family ninjas and formed an expeditionary ninja army of 1,500 people to go to war, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer control his anger.
"Sakumo Jounin! Are the Uchiha clan preparing to rebel?"
After summoning Hatake Sakumo to the Hokage's office, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen asked fiercely.
These past few days should be the most embarrassing day since he took up the position of Hokage!
It’s okay for the ninjas in the village to be unruly, and it’s okay for the border ninja army to often go alone, but now they actually collude to launch a war against the ninja village of another big country? !
Is the peace agreement signed between the two daimyo completely a piece of waste paper?
Will I have to go back to the village to be replaced as Hokage after a while?
"...The ninja troops deployed by the shogunate are all troops directly under Tokumitsu-kun and have nothing to do with the village!"
When questioned about this, Hatake Sakumo could only bite the bullet and push back.
"Where are the ninjas from each family? Are those also Tokumitsu's private army? Some of them I grew up watching!"
Xiaochun shouted angrily after going to bed.
"Ninjas who are not registered are naturally not Konoha ninjas."
On the surface, Hatake Sakumo still looks neither humble nor overbearing.
"What about the banner issued by the Tokko Shogunate?"
Mito Kadoen asked with a sullen face: "Supporting justice? Is it justice to invade other ninja villages? Is this justice the justice of the Uchiha clan or the justice of your Hatake family? Do you not care at all about the ninja world's words?" "
"...The Mizukage of Kirigakure killed the ninja clan, which was not allowed by nature. Tokumitsu-kun summoned the heroes of the ninja world to maintain the one-village-one-country system. He won the first battle precisely because of the support of the people."
Hatake Sakumo made another nonsense that he didn't even believe.
After hearing this, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became even more complicated.
What a good and honest jonin Hatake Sakumo was! He is recognized by everyone in Konoha as a model ninja and the heir to the Will of Fire.
But since he formed a mobile unit with Uchiha Tokumitsu, he has become so sinister that he can't even tell lies without blinking an eye.
Dead silence returned to the Hokage's office once again.
"Is this battle winnable?"
After a long while, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen said quietly.
"The internal strife in Kirigakure continues, but they haven't used their full strength..."
Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment before replying slowly: "Tokumitsu-kun also hired Yu Ninja's Sanshoyu Hanzo. With the demigod taking action, he should be fine..."
After the Second Ninja War, Sansho Hanzo's reputation was able to reach a higher level.
Although the Rain Ninja Village was defeated undefeated, Hanzo was the only one in the ninja world who could survive the siege of the three major nations.
In particular, his psychic beast Sansho Uibushi is a fish harvester like the middle genin. As long as there is no targeted biotoxin antidote, no matter how many people come, he will not be able to kill him.
"How many ninja troops have been dispatched by the Uchiha clan?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.
Hatake Sakumo didn't know how to respond.
"How many ninja troops have been dispatched by the Uchiha clan!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen asked repeatedly.
This time the tone was very harsh.
"...As far as I know, nearly a hundred people were dispatched from the village."
Hatake Sakumo replied softly.
"That means each ninja clan dispatched 1,400 people?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly, "You are so loyal! It is indeed what the people want!"
"There are 1,500 new ninjas in the village, plus 1,200 mercenaries from two groups in Yu Ninja Village, more than 400 troops directly under the shogunate, and 1,200 border defense troops..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen counted the belongings in Uchiha Tokko's hands one by one.
"There are also five hundred ninja troops recruited from the Country of Grass..."
Hatake Sakumo reminded him kindly.
After turning to bed, Xiaochun glared at him.
"Nearly five thousand ninja troops..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Coupled with the Northwest Frontier Defense Force and the ninjas directly under the Police Department... half of Konoha is in the hands of the Uchiha."
At this time, Hatake Sakumo was glad that Koharu had just turned to bed and glared at him, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it and told him that the Hyuga clan also sent dozens of people to join the war.
"Sakumo-kun...just do it for your own good!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, signaling Hatake Sakumo to retreat.
The two advisors opened their mouths to speak, but seeing the tired look on the Sandaime's face, they didn't say much.
Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo stood up and nodded to the two advisors, preparing to leave.
Just when he put his hand on the door handle, the voice of Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen came from behind.
"Sakumo-kun...you can't participate in the war. This is the bottom line."
"clear……"
Hatake Sakumo turned around and bowed in salute.
"Also, don't lose the fight..."
Mito Kadoyan sighed, feeling a little frustrated.
"I will dispatch the mobile troops to Tokumitsu-kun..."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and replied.
The combat jounin of the mobile unit are mainly jonins from the Uchiha clan. It makes sense to be assigned to fight under Uchiha Tokumitsu. It is just a change of combat vest. In addition, the auxiliary ninja of the mobile unit can also provide The ninja troops of the Tokko Shogunate provided some security support.
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.
Hatake Sakumo said nothing more, opened the door and left.
"Hiruzhan..."
Xiaochun asked with some confusion when he went to bed.
"Whether we win or lose, it is the business of the Uchiha clan."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.
"The ninjas in the village are also watching. This is the general trend..."
Mito Kabuto sighed again.
…
Daming Mansion, the Kingdom of Water.
Under the attack of the shogunate's barbarian conquest column, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Water could not get over the joy of regaining the Eastern Islands, but another bad news came soon.
"Hanzo from Rain Ninja Village joined the war?"
Even in the Water Kingdom, which is far away from the border of the ninja world, Sansho Hanzo's reputation as a "demigod" has long been heard.
Although he looked down on crude and uncivilized ninjas from the bottom of his heart, the Daimyo of the Land of Water was still shocked by this incident.
"Yes……"
The Kirigakure ninja who was responsible for delivering the information replied helplessly.
"What the hell is Mizukage doing!"
The daimyo got furious and rebuked: "Konoha is already here to bully us, why don't we quickly summon the ninja army to fight back!"
The messenger ninja was speechless.
He is just a special Jonin with outstanding speed. He is only responsible for transmitting information between the Ninja Village and the Daming Palace. How could he know so many inside stories?
Besides, even if he knew about it, he couldn't tell the daimyo directly.
We can't just say that the Elder Council and Mizukage are incompatible with each other. Now Mizukage is standing still just to watch the Council of Elders laugh at them, right?
"Please Mizukage-dono come to Daming Mansion!"
The daimyo said coldly.
"Mizukage-sama will not come."
The messenger ninja said without hesitation.
"Why!"
The daimyo was angry but also a little curious.
The messenger ninja was still speechless.
This shouldn’t be said directly, right? It shouldn't be appropriate to directly say that the Mizukage is holding the ninja army in his hand and preparing to drive away the elder group after they start a war with Konoha, right?
The samurai under the daimyo glared at the rude messenger ninja.
"...Let's go!"
The daimyo waved his hand tiredly.
The messenger ninja remained silent and bowed before exiting the inner court.
"Your Highness..."
After the messenger ninja left, the daimyo's Hatamoto samurai bravely asked: "Why don't you..."
The daimyo stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Ninjas are famous for their sharp ears and eyes, and at this time, the messenger ninja has not gone far yet.
Besides, even the army directly under Guan Bai were defeated by a mere attack by Yu Nin, and he himself was easily decapitated by Yu Nin. This made the daimyo not frightened.
Force is the guarantee of power.
After realizing his own strength, the daimyo was not as bold as he was at the beginning.
Naturally, he was too lazy to do anything to establish his authority.
If he offends the Mizukage who dares to destroy the three major ninja clans, his position as a daimyo may not be secure.
Thinking of this, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water, whose mind was aroused by the inner anger, grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at the Hatamoto samurai who had the bad idea.
"Bang!"
The sound is crisp and clear, a good start.
A random thought flashed through the daimyo's mind for no apparent reason.
The metal paperweight smashed Hatamoto Samurai's head to pieces, but he still stood upright and could bear it, not daring to slack off in his kneeling posture.
"...The war is about to begin! Stop saying these useless things!"
After the smashing, the daimyo felt a little regretful, but his dignity as a master did not allow him to apologize to his subordinates, so he just reprimanded him coldly from a business perspective, and then waved the Hatamoto samurai to retreat to heal his injuries.
After the Hatamoto samurai knelt down and left, the daimyo's palace returned to a dead silence.
All the servants' bodies were so tense that they even held their breath.
"Being from the Ninja clan, he has never been defeated. He founded a government and established a festival, and spread military power all over the world..."
The daimyo murmured to himself, his body trembling slightly, "What a hero, what a tyrant..."
His voice was so low that the attendants in the palace did not notice it.
He had been familiar with the famous names in the classics since he was a child, and naturally he quickly found heroic figures similar to Uchiha Tokumitsu from various history books.
Without exception, their final choice was to go to Luo.
Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu has one of the most special advantages, that is, his strength is well known to everyone in the ninja world.
Even the usual assassination methods are no longer used...
The daimyo couldn't think of any good way to deal with such a power-hungry strongman.
Especially when there is obvious discord within Kirigakure.
The strongest ninja in the black market and the Immortal Horn attacked Uchiha Tokimitsu. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire also mentioned it to him in a secret letter. He also hinted at asking the powerful Kirigakure to take action together, but was rejected by the Daimyo of the Land of Water. That’s all.
At that time, he felt that this kind of thing was too embarrassing.
"I can't even control the Ninja Village. As a daimyo, I should feel ashamed!"
The Daiming couldn't help but feel his cheeks heat up when he heard his mocking expression when he received the letter.
"Those who overthrow a great country must be virtuous and glorious!"
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water then remembered a sentence mentioned in the letter from the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire.
And then verifying it one by one with the current situation of the Kingdom of Water, all of them verified the correctness of what the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire said at that time.
Immediately, he remembered the suggestion in the secret letter from the Fire Country Daimyo to cultivate his own ninja army.
It shouldn't be too late...
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water immediately called his attendants, got paper and pen, and planned to reply a personal letter to the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire.
