In the process of leading his troops to deploy defenses along the line to intercept the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Uchiha Tokumitsu had a smile on his lips, even if he wanted to restrain it.
"It's time for Konoha F3 to become F2...Mr. Mitomon is old and weak, and it's really time to get a lunch and lie down~"
Uchiha Tokko was so happy that he almost danced.
Is there anything in this world that can be happier than watching your enemy shoot target?
"Tokumitsu-kun...can you calm down a little?"
Hatake Sakumo, who was accompanying him in the hunt for the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, had a headache, "I know you are happy, but don't be too happy..."
"After all, there are so many people, and seeing the impact is not good..."
"I think that Mr. Mitomon, who has worked hard for most of his life, can finally enjoy his old age and sleep peacefully under the Heroic Spirit Monument. I am happy for him from the bottom of my heart!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a very artificial sadness on his face, seemingly sadly.
Hatake Sakumo was speechless.
"...Konoha is still in such civil strife that it is still number one in the ninja world. It is indeed a ninja village that has been favored by the Sage of Six Paths!"
Hanzo, the Sanshouyu on the side, hummed a few words, his words carrying a bit of sourness.
Recalling the ups and downs that he had been dedicated to revitalizing the rain ninja, Sanshouyu Hanzo felt full of bitterness.
"Mr. Hanzo, you don't understand~"
Uchiha Tokko smiled and said: "The strength of Konoha does not lie in the favor of fate, but in Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama~"
"Elaborate!"
At the mention of this kind of secret involving the rise and fall of the Ninja Village, Sanshouyu Hanzo became more energetic.
"The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were once the two strongest ninja clans in the ninja world. Even Uzumaki or Hinata were a little inferior to the two clans..."
Uchiha Tokko turned to Uzumaki Koe and Hinata Hizashi and said, "You should be okay with me saying that, right?"
"Lord Tokumitsu is right!"
Uzumaki Koe replied with a clear and energetic tone.
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Hyuga Hizashi shook his head.
"...Just pretend you have no objections."
Uchiha Tokumitsu turned back and continued to discuss politics: "The alliance of the two powerful ninja clans will naturally attract the attachment of other ninja clans, thus enriching the population of the grassroots ninja village..."
Sansho Fish Hanzo was thoughtful.
The two strongest ninja clans put aside their thousands of years of hatred and chose to jointly create a ninja village. In addition, at the end of the Warring States period when everyone was trapped in the Shura Blood Prison and couldn't extricate themselves, everyone yearned for peace and stability, which naturally attracted the attachment of other ninja clans.
Konoha, which has two of the strongest ninjas in the world, also very reasonably attracted other powerful ninja clans to join, thus forming the Konoha Ninja Village, the strongest in the ninja world.
"...the bloodshed and cruelty of the Warring States Period are beyond what we can imagine in our time."
Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed: "Although the scale of the war is not as good as today's, the cruelty of the means is even greater than today's..."
Although the ninja wars in the Ninja Village era far exceeded those in the Warring States Period in terms of numbers and scale, the damage to the ninja world was even smaller.
The reason is that the war in Ninja Village has begun to be controlled.
Although a war is necessary every few decades to divert conflicts in the village and consume too many ninjas, fortunately, a period of relative peace is left to allow the secular world to recover and develop smoothly.
"Besides, if we had followed the practices of the Warring States Period, those old guys in the Hokage Building would have been punished by God a long time ago. How can we tolerate them to continue to be arrogant!"
Uchiha Tokko said in an unhappy tone.
Hinata Hinazashi was not squinting, but his heart was beating fast.
He criticizes the Hokage family so unscrupulously, and talks about rebellion from time to time...
What's more important is that he doesn't shy away from others... Is this a way to lure him into a pirate ship?
Stimulate!
So exciting!
Although Hinata Hizashi still looked calm on the outside thanks to his super high control over his body, his heart was already in turmoil and shocked.
"...Speaking of which, is this search really useful?"
Hatake Sakumo chose to change the topic: "Maybe the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki has already fled north!"
The elite ninja troops assembled by the Tokko Shogunate Ninja Army began to deploy from the direction of the battlefield, and the inspection team was deployed all the way to the coastal areas, and then contracted to the southwest of the Kingdom of Thunder where the Mito Gate Flame incident occurred.
With the jinchūriki's traveling speed, if they had chosen to flee north after the encounter with the Mito Gate Flame, they might have returned to Kumogakure by now.
"I told you, none of this matters."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was very cheerful, "We have fulfilled our responsibilities as Konoha ninjas. As for whether we can hunt down the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki... this is not the key."
"Okay, okay~"
Hatake Sakumo was no longer confused.
…
In a deep underground cave, Burubi, who was still seriously injured, was resting against a stalactite with his eyes closed.
The battle with Uchiha Demitsu caused him very serious injuries.
First, the continuous burning of the Fire Lord, coupled with the erosion of the power of fire escape and the impact of the pupil power of the Mangekyō Sharingan on the armor seal on his body, all had a serious negative impact on him.
Although the battle against Mito Gate was uneventful and in a state of complete crushing, after severely injuring Mito Gate, his already extremely serious injuries worsened again, even to the point where it was difficult to walk.
And it was not Burubi's idea to escape from defeat.
But when he was defeated, he was almost driven out of his mind by Uchiha Tokumitsu's Yasaka Qiong Magatama, which was stabbed into the tailed beast's body and exploded. He was able to escape entirely by relying on the Eight-tailed Gyuuki to seize the opportunity and seize control of his body.
But here comes the problem. Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's Tailing Seal did not have time to unlock his armored sealing circle, it also made the sealing cage that was not strong in the first place loose.
Even if the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki has no intention of breaking free of the seal for the time being, Burubi does not dare to take risks.
Now, he couldn't even use the tailed beast's chakra to speed up the healing of his wounds, for fear that the tailed beast's chakra would go berserk if the seal was loosened.
"call……"
Burubi breathed out slowly.
The smell of blood that kept pouring out of the depths of his throat made it difficult for him to even breathe, and the limbs that were blown apart by Uchiha Tokko in the tailed beast form were also sore and weak.
More importantly, the erosion of the tailed beast's chakra on his body also caused his body's energy to be excessively consumed, and he was temporarily unable to extract chakra.
Chakra is the life of a ninja.
"Hey...Burubi..."
The voice of the Eight-Tailed Gyuuki sounded in Brübi's mind.
"Um……"
Burubi managed to calm down and responded: "...Are you okay?"
"not good……"
The voice of the eight-tailed ox-ghost was extremely dull: "I used the Octopus Leg Clone Technique to escape, how can it be any better?"
"...I'm sorry, Niugui."
Burubi was silent for a moment and said to the tailed beast consciousness in his mind: "I was careless this time..."
"If you had used Tailed Beast Jade from the beginning, you wouldn't have been in this situation!"
The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki complained: "Who knew you would be stupid enough to engage in close combat with Susanoo!"
"...Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
Burubi's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Hey! Don't fall asleep!"
The loud voice of the Eight-tailed Gyuuki roared in Boobi's mind: "It doesn't matter if you die, but don't implicate Mr. Gyuuki!"
"I don't want to fall into the hands of those red-eyed psychos!"
"Wake up! Talk! Do you hear me?"
Waves of roaring sounds echoed in Burubi's mind, pulling him back from his consciousness that was falling into the abyss of darkness.
"I know, I know... Uncle Niu Gui..."
Blubi took another breath. Although his body became more painful, fortunately his consciousness became clearer.
…
At this time, the Ninja Army under Sarutobi Shinnosuke also went north to inspect.
He adopted a similar method to Uchiha Tokimitsu, temporarily turning the sensing ninjas and reconnaissance ninjas into small teams, and conducted a search all the way north.
The elite of the Sarutobi Shogunate and the Konoha ninja jounin who participated in the war gathered together.
There was nothing we could do about it. After all, the Sarutobi Shogunate was different from the Tokumitsu Shogunate. There were not so many masters in charge. If a limited number of elite jounin were not assembled, even if traces of the Jinchuriki were found, there would be no way to arrest them.
"The Uchiha ninja army also went south?"
It was just the information that the Tokumitsu Shogunate inspection team began to move south that made him frown.
In terms of strength, the Sarutobi Shogunate was far inferior to the Tokumitsu Shogunate; in terms of military exploits, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki was defeated by Uchiha Tokumitsu and his troops.
The reason why he was able to command the Ninja Army so recklessly was because the Tokumitsu Shogunate Ninja Army defeated Kumogakure's Nanshin Ninja Army in the Land of Thunder.
No matter from which aspect, he had no reason to obstruct the actions of the Tokko Shogunate.
What's more... with Uchiha Tokumitsu's habits, if anyone dares to stop him, he will probably be killed on the spot...
"Order all ministries to speed up the inspection! Send more people from the ninja troops stationed at the rear to support us!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought for a while, but he had no choice but to squeeze the ninjas under his command.
"As you command!"
The ninja was ordered to take the order and leave.
"eight-tail……"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart was burning.
"Uchiha Tokko!"
Then another wave of hatred surged into his heart.
