The victory has been decided and the dust has settled.
In the end, nearly 2,000 of the more than 5,000 Kumogakure ninja troops were lying dead on the battlefield, and nearly 1,000 people were captured, while the casualties of the shogunate ninja army were only a little over 1,000.
The rest of Kumogakure who were defeated and fled were not in danger. I am afraid that their scalps will be numb when they see the Tokumitsu Shogunate in the future.
"It's just that after the Fourth Raikage comes to power, I'm afraid he will still fight to the death with Sakumo-kun~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Hatake Sakumo with a teasing tone.
The secret sword skills used by Hatake Sakumo during the battle, let alone the victim Ai, even the witness Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little numb.
What kind of good person would stab someone's back door with a knife?
Moreover, leaving aside the killing effect of this move, the psychological shadow caused by it is enough to be remembered for a lifetime!
"A ninja is not a samurai. It is normal to do whatever it takes to win."
Hatake Sakumo said without any psychological burden: "Besides, if Ai still cares about it, then just make it impossible for him to inherit the position of Raikage~"
"That makes sense! As expected of Konoha White Fang!"
Uchiha Tokko also burst out laughing when he heard this.
After this battle, Kumogakure's ninja forces in the southern part of Thunder Country were wiped out.
If Uchiha Tokumitsu is willing, he can now send his army northward to attack Kumogakure's base camp, Kumorai Gorge.
The ninja troops under his command were happily cleaning the battlefield. The corpses of Kumogakure ninjas were piled up and burned on fire. Uchiha Tokumitsu felt even more comfortable.
"Sakumo-kun, do you think it's time to mobilize the ninja army from the Fire Gate Shogunate for reinforcements?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked Hatake Sakumo for advice.
"It's nothing, and after this battle, Iwagakure should be frightened and dare not have any other intentions. Even if the Land of Grass becomes a little empty, there won't be any problems."
Hatake Sakumo also thinks it’s not a big problem.
The Ninja Army of the Uchiha Fire Gate is currently stationed in the southern area of the Kingdom of Frost. While on standby, they are also vigilant about the Iwagakure Ninja Army that is occupying the northern part of the Kingdom of Frost.
"Iwagakure..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also thought of those granite heads.
"Why don't Iwagakure also cross the sea and enter the Land of Thunder?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu wiped his chin, "It is really a waste of Liuqian Yangakure to continue to nest in the horn land of the Kingdom of Frost. Maybe it would be better to enter the joint alliance together..."
"It is unlikely that the Ninja Army will join forces..."
Hatake Sakumo thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "But there may be a chance for the alliance... How about I go to Iwagakure Camp?"
"No, no, no, no~"
Uchiha Tokko waved his hands repeatedly, "Sakumo-kun has such a status, how can he lower himself to talk to those Iwagakure barbarians~"
"I think~ in less than two days, the envoys from the Sarutobi Shogunate and Iwagakure will arrive at the headquarters camp!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu hummed and said: "Those guys... are definitely good at picking peaches!"
"So how are you preparing?"
Hatake Sakumo asked sideways.
He didn't believe that Uchiha Tokumitsu was so easy to talk to.
"If you want the horse to run, you can't let the horse stop eating grass."
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied: "If you don't give them some benefits to stimulate them, how can they increase their efforts to rush to the battlefield?"
Although Kumogakure's vitality was severely damaged in this war, he may not give in.
The Tokumitsu shogunate ninja army could take advantage of the great victory. After plundering the southern part of the Land of Thunder, they lost all the territory in front to the Sarutobi shogunate and Iwagakure's expeditionary force, while he led his troops along the border. Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Fire Gate Shogunate.
After listening to the entire conversation between the two, Hinata Hizashi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his outlook on life.
When did the intrigues within the village become so upright and open to others?
However, after listening to the two people's plans, Hyuga Hizashi began to get used to the bloody war.
Even the blood, broken bones and other remnants stained on the body no longer feel uncomfortable.
But the young man in front of him, who was similar in age to him but was high-spirited, made him envious from the bottom of his heart.
…
The victory report of the shogunate reached all directions with the shogunate's messengers.
After hearing the news, both Konoha and Iwagakure were shaking up and down.
There are very few cases of annihilation in such a short period of time in the ninja world.
The combat power of ninjas is characterized by high mobility, high attack and low defense. Often a war will take a long time in the early stages, from initial reconnaissance, to small team infiltration, to small-scale attempted offensives, and finally to ensure accurate intelligence and intercept the enemy. The Ninja Army's backup will then enter the decisive battle.
In this process, the effective strength of the enemy ninja army was almost strangled in the small team's infiltration operations, and the final decisive battle was usually just the ending.
But all ninja wars commanded by Uchiha Tokimitsu are different from traditional ninja battles.
From the beginning of the Northern Expedition to Iwagakure in the Land of Grass, to the formation of mobile troops, and even the establishment of the Tokko Shogunate, Uchiha Tokumitsu has been intentionally or unintentionally recruiting ninjas from his family to form a standing ninja army, and adopting group combat tactics. Changed the traditional way of fighting of ninjas.
The pinnacle of the Uchiha ninja army is the Akabi team under Uchiha Tokimitsu.
With only three to four hundred people cooperating with the northwest border defense force stationed in the country of grass, Iwagakure, who had always wanted to go south, was so frightened that he did not dare to make any mistakes, so he could only continue to pick on the thorn in the Rain Ninja Village.
Of course, other ninja villages are not fools. Naturally, some people have tried Uchiha Tokumitsu's full-time standing ninja army formation combat method that breaks the three-person team system. However, they failed to maintain a balance between combat effectiveness and economic benefits like the Uchiha clan, which resulted in a small or difficult to maintain standing ninja army.
Therefore, if we put aside the personal combat capabilities of different Ninja Village Ninjas, from a purely organizational level, the traditional Ninja Village Ninjas are more like a combination of adventurers and militiamen, while the Ninja Army directly under the Tokko Shogunate is relatively pure. Standing regular soldiers.
The result of the battle between full-time soldiers and part-time militiamen was like the battle in the southern part of the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Uchiha Tokko... is so terrifying..."
In the temporary ninja garrison of the Sarutobi shogunate in Ta no Kuni, Mito Kado's hands were trembling a little while he was reading the battle report.
Even Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, looked very ugly.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke is very clear about the role played by the Hokage family in this "Mediation Time" and the goals they hope to achieve.
But precisely because of this, it was even more difficult for him to accept such a result.
Originally, the Sarutobi clan mobilized clansmen to form a ninja army and added them to the shogunate troops under his command. He must have had selfish motives.
Moreover, according to Mito Kadoen's plan, after the conflict between the ninja armies of Konoha and Kumogakure intensified, he would privately reach an agreement such as a "sit-down war" with Kumogakure, so that the main force of Kumogakure and Tokumitsu could The shogunate's ninja army fought to the death and suffered a bloody blow.
In other words, he had the idea of picking peaches from the beginning.
As for Iwagakure, which occupies the peninsula of the Land of Frost, Mito Kadeni also feels that as long as the Land of Frost is recognized as the sphere of influence of the Land of Earth, it will not be difficult to stabilize the ninja echelon of Iwagakure, which is already somewhat inactive.
Furthermore, allowing the Iwagakure forces to enter the Kingdom of Frost can better contain the Uchiha Fire Gate who is ruling the Kingdom of Grass. At the same time, the effect of annexing the vassals of the Kingdom of Thunder can also play a role in drawing hatred.
But Uchiha Tokko's victory was like a crow flipping the table, making all the machinations go to waste.
But the other Konoha ninjas participating in the battle didn't have so much thought.
Their purpose is to plunder resources in the war. Now that Yunyin is defeated and the entire southern part of the Kingdom of Thunder is defenseless, it is a great opportunity!
"Advisor Mitomon, please send an envoy to Lord Tokumitsu to agree on the war zone that both parties will be responsible for!"
A ninja leader from the Hokage line couldn't help but stand up and said.
All the ninjas of the ninja clan also nodded in agreement.
The southern part of the Kingdom of Thunder is so large that the Tokoku Shogunate may not be able to accommodate it. Taking advantage of the defeat of Kumogakure's southern ninja army, it is also a good time to divide their respective spheres of influence.
Otherwise, they might not get a good deal if they get into trouble with the Tokumitsu shogunate ninjas.
"...War zone planning means a full-scale war with Kumogakure, so you have to ask the Hokage about this matter."
Mito Kabuto replied stiffly.
He was already in a terrible mood!
If there weren't so many people, he would have found someone to take down this ninja leader who spoke without thinking!
Are you still discussing with Uchiha Tokumitsu about dividing the war zone? !
Isn't this a naked division of the spoils of the Tokumitsu Shogunate?
wrong……
Mito Menyan reacted immediately.
What's wrong with the results of the war that divided the Tokko Shogunate?
And, does it really matter whether the Tokumitsu Shogunate agrees?
The most important thing is to satisfy the ninja clan participating in the war from the Hokage series!
Besides, Uchiha Tokumitsu refused to divide the war zone, so it was also these profit-minded ninjas who were offended!
After changing his thinking, Mito Kaden suddenly became enlightened!
"...However, considering the unpredictable changes in the war situation, I can also use my advisory powers to determine the war zones of various ministries with the Tokumitsu Jonin without authorization in order to deal with Kumogakure's subsequent military operations."
Mito Kadoyan paused and looked around at the ninja leaders who were full of hope: "Then, who will be the envoy to the Tokumitsu shogunate camp to discuss the division of war zones?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ninja clan leaders looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
What is the character of Uchiha Tokumitsu? He is also a Konoha ninja. No one has heard about it.
If you take the initiative to provoke such an evil god, who wouldn't be afraid of being killed with a knife...
"In that case..."
Mito Kadoen paused, and then glanced at the worried and expectant eyes of the ninja leaders: "Then the ninja army of our headquarters will be fully commanded by General Shinnosuke. I will discuss the division of war zones with Sakumo-kun."
It was indeed difficult for Uchiha Tokimitsu to speak, but Hatake Sakumo was a different matter.
Although the Hokage series has determined that Hatake Sakumo has been contaminated by Uchiha Tokko, Hatake Sakumo has always maintained the persona of a good old man in the village.
A gentleman can be deceived.
Besides, Hatake Sakumo is the Jonin squad leader and the commander-in-chief of the military command department, so it is very reasonable for Mito Kadeni to jump away from Uchiha Tokumitsu to discuss war zone affairs with him.
…
As for Iwagakure, who occupied the northern part of the Frost Country, after learning the battle report that the Kumogakure Ninja Army going south had been wiped out in one battle, they were first shocked and then overjoyed. They immediately began to assemble the Ninja Army to prepare to cross the sea, and at the same time sent envoys to invite the Uchiha from the south. The Fire Gate team crossed the sea and attacked the western region of the Kingdom of Thunder.
The Uchiha Fire Gate had already received Uchiha Tokumitsu's instruction, so they declined Iwagakure's invitation and said that if necessary, they could sell him a batch of beef and mutton jerky specially produced by the Land of Grass as military rations.
Iwagakure, on the other hand, held his nose and bought a large amount of supplies, pretending to pay the protection fee to the Uchiha clan, and then crossed the sea and easily occupied several cities on the western coast of the Land of Thunder, and sent envoys to the headquarters of the Tokumitsu Shogunate. , to discuss the next war arrangement.
However, when the Iwagakure envoy arrived at the Tokumitsu shogunate camp, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo went out due to unexpected circumstances and had no time to pay attention to him for the time being.
On his way from the Land of Land to the southern part of the Kingdom of Thunder, Konoha advisor Elder Mito Kabuto was attacked by the defeated Kumogakure Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who fled. Elder Mito Kabuto was seriously injured in the encounter and fell into a coma. among.
"eight-tail!"
After Mito Monobu was desperately brought back to the Sarutobi Shogunate's headquarters by his ANBU, Sarutobi Shinnosuke became excited when he heard it!
This is a tailed beast!
And it is a powerful tailed beast that is second only to the Nine-Tails owned by Konoha!
This is the most powerful war weapon in the ninja world!
The reason why the Hokage family has always been able to subdue all the forces in Konoha, and even the Uchiha clan in their prime has not openly raised a flag of rebellion, is because the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has always been under their control!
Even if the contemporary Jinchuuriki comes from the Uzumaki clan, the Uzumaki clan leader will still have no chance to come into contact with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!
Furthermore, according to the descriptions of the ANBU ninjas, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki was obviously seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced, so the group was able to escape!
It was only because Mitomon was so powerful that he was able to confront the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki head-on, and was seriously injured.
"Command the shogunate ninja army of our headquarters and all branches of the Konoha ninja clan to go north immediately!"
After Sarutobi Shinnosuke hastily arranged for medical ninjas to rescue Mito Kaden and other wounded, he immediately ordered his ninja troops to break camp and go to battle.
"We must catch the Jinchuuriki!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said viciously: "Don't report all the casualty figures to me, I only want the tailed beasts!"
…
"Are we also going to take part in capturing the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki?"
Hinata Hizashi asked.
After learning that Mito Kadenen was seriously injured by the attack of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Brübi, Uchiha Tokumitsu led the elite ninja army of the shogunate to leave the camp and blocked the main transportation route to the north.
At the same time, the white-eyed ninjas accompanying the army were also assigned to various search teams, scanning every inch of the Land of Thunder without blind spots.
It's just that this kind of blocking behavior seems a bit funny even to the inexperienced Hinata Hizashi.
This level of search might be able to uncover the ninja, but for tailed beasts who are good at hiding, it's still a little short of a success.
What's more, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki can escape during the battle. This ability alone makes the Byakugan ninja helpless.
“The important thing is to participate~”
Uchiha Tokumitsu said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter whether the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki can be captured. What's important is that the Sarutobi Shogunate cannot catch him."
Since the Sarutobi Shogunate's allies were in trouble and could not move, don't blame the Tokumitsu Shogunate for outflanking Xu Rulin.
I spent a day in the sun at the construction site today and I feel groggy, so I can only update once today.
If my condition is better tomorrow, I will continue to update twice!
Book friends, please understand~
