The pale-faced Daimyo of the Land of Fire was sitting in the palace, listening to the nobles' report on the battle that took place in Settsu County.
"...As of the time the intelligence report returned, the 1,500-rebellion ninja army led by Lord Hokage had begun fighting with the 300-plus family private army of the traitor Uchiha Tokimitsu in the southern part of Settsu County. Follow-up battle reports have also been released. Wait for it to be delivered from the front line.”
The Daimyo's general of the Imperial Guard knelt on the ground and reported the news tremblingly.
Ever since Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops to besiege the Fire Temple, occupy two Kinki prefectures, and easily destroy the prefectural army directly under the daimyo, the status of the prefectural army, with samurai as the main force, has plummeted. Even the general who commanded the prefectural army has not been able to do so. Gain trust again.
"One thousand five hundred versus three hundred people... So Mr. Hiruzen has a big advantage, right?"
The daimyo asked in a drake voice.
"Or, or so..."
The general of the Imperial Guard answered hesitantly with sweat on his forehead.
"snort!"
The Daimyo snorted coldly, causing the body of the high-ranking Guards General to tremble, "Incompetent person!"
After uttering a scolding word, the Daimyo turned his eyes to his confidant, Shinobu.
"Hattori-kun, in your opinion, is it possible to win the battle between the Hokage and the Uchiha rebels?"
The so-called guard nin are actually the original guardian ninja. After Uchiha Tokumitsu marched into Kinki and forced the daimyo to disband the guardian ninja, the original team members just changed their names.
Moreover, most of the guards of the Fire Country are descendants of ninja clans scattered throughout the ninja world who do not belong to the ninja village, and their overall strength is not bad.
Moreover, after the daimyo and the Hokage cooperated to cultivate ninjas, the guard ninja also received some special training from the ANBU of Konoha, and their strength and number have increased compared to before.
But even so, the daimyo's bodyguard Shinobu is still just a weak little sheep in front of the orthodox five major shinobi village ninja armies, and their combat effectiveness is really not on the table.
"...It's still unknown. The traitor Tokuguang may even have a better chance of winning."
Hattori, the leader of the guard ninja, said: "According to the information shared by Konoha, the rebel army is basically composed of jounin... This is already a force that is enough to destroy a ninja village in a big country."
"……I see."
Although Hattori's words didn't sound good, the daimyo still listened.
"Back off!"
The daimyo opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe" sound and covered his face, "The goddess of Uo will bless the Hokage!"
…
But even if the goddess of Uo really blesses the third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the old monkey cannot change the current battle situation.
After Tokumitsu Uchiha used his powerful weapon Susanoo and the two-tailed Mata Brigade to merge, he drove the old monkey all over the ground. Even if he wielded the Vajra Wishful Stick to amplify the sudden attack, the two-tailed Mata Brigade was also in Uchiha. Easily dodged under Tokguang's control.
However, a series of Taijutsu techniques used by the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen had no effect in front of the two tails in a powerful state.
The combination of Susanoo and the tailed beast is no longer as simple as a simple superposition of strength.
"Brigade again, let's turn!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood above the head of the two-tailed brigade, lightly tapping his feet and directing the tailed beasts to turn towards the two ninja troops who were fighting fiercely.
"Your opponent is me!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately shouted and swung the adamantium rod again to hit the tailed beast's head.
"Meow!"
The two-tailed Mata Brigade raised its front paws to block, but even with Susanoo's chakra armor as protection, the claws were still knocked numb.
"That's right...the front was right just now!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was in a good mood, joked casually, "Tauri, I feel like you are a little stunned..."
"So much nonsense!"
Erwei Mataru responded without hesitation.
"I'll give you thirty beavers after the war!"
"Okay!"
As soon as the reward came out, Erwei Youlu immediately became full of energy and grinned again at the old monkey standing in front of him.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was breathing heavily as he faced off against the Two-tailed Mata Brigade controlled by Uchiha Tokumitsu.
His condition is not good either. Driven by the two-tailed Mata Brigade, he consumes a lot of physical energy. The ordinary single-attribute five-escape ninjutsu is basically ineffective in front of the tailed beasts. It is difficult to perform compound ninjutsu and it is difficult to perform at the tail end. It is difficult to perform spells when being chased by beasts. These factors limit his attack methods.
"Uchiha...Valley of the End..."
Even though his body was extremely exhausted, the pride derived from the Hokage family still allowed him to continue to put on a fighting posture.
…
On the other side, the Uchiha ninja army was fighting with the Naruto army.
The Uchiha ninja army is the most elite ninja force in the family. Coupled with Uchiha Tokumitsu's kaleidoscope eye technique increase, they have the upper hand as soon as they engage in battle.
Although the Naruto army was outnumbered, they were still beaten and could only defend and counterattack in front of the Uchiha ninja army who clearly had superior personal combat power.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Fire Escape: Fire is extinguished!"
Under the cover of the continuous bombardment of fire escape ninjutsu, the Uchiha ninja army responsible for close combat quickly broke into the Naruto army, and carried out a multi-point breakthrough charge with a team of three people.
"The Art of Darkness!"
Mito Kadoen had a bad idea and quickly used an unskilled genjutsu to try to block the Uchiha ninja's sight. However, the Uchiha ninja who charged into the area covered by the genjutsu quickly used the teleportation technique to jump out of the coverage of the dark walking technique.
Then a team of Uzumaki ninjas and Kurama ninjas stepped forward to counterattack.
"The Art of Melatonin!"
"Illusion solution!"
The genjutsu invented by the second generation Senju Tobirama and specifically used to restrain ninjutsu ninjas was cracked by the two major ninja clans. Then the Uchiha ninja army launched another offensive and headed towards the crumbling Naruto army formation.
…
"Did you see it? Mr. Hiruzen, this era is progressing..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also noticed the battle between genjutsu and genjutsu in a corner of the battlefield, and said to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen in a cheerful tone: "As long as you cling to the past and only remember to stick to the old traditions of the past, then one day you will be able to Those who were shot to pieces in the tide of the times..."
"What do you mean by this..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing gradually became calmer, but he still talked nonsense with Uchiha Demitsu with a cold face.
He needs to buy more time to adjust his physical condition,
"As a Konoha ninja, it is indeed an honor for me to fight against the contemporary Hokage."
The smile on Uchiha Tokko's face continued, "It's just a pity on such an occasion..."
"Do you think you have a chance to win?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen had a gloomy face and formed a seal with one hand to activate the ninjutsu.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Peng!"
Along with the ninjutsu smoke, four shadow clones appeared.
"Come on, descendants of the Uchiha family..."
The body of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen and the four shadow clones all held the Vajra Wishful Rod, forming a five-pointed formation.
"Let me see how well you master the power of the kaleidoscope!"
"as you wish!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also shouted excitedly, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes turning faster and faster.
"Fire Release: Dust Hidden Technique!"
A cloud of high-temperature smoke erupted from Uchiha Tokko's mouth, quickly spreading towards the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Subsequently, while condensing high-intensity chakra in the mouth of Erbi Mata, under the urging of Uchiha Tokko, he slashed towards the third generation of Sarutobi Hiroshi.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"
Dozens of highly condensed wind blades were ejected from the mouth of a Sarutobi shadow clone, blowing away all the high-temperature smoke and dust.
Then the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's body led the other three clones to use the teleportation technique with the support of ninjutsu to kill Uchiha Tokko.
"Brigade again, shrink!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu lightly stomped on the head of the Second Tails Mata Brigade and ordered.
"Meow!"
The two-tailed tiger with a ball of chakra in its mouth roared and immediately shrank to the size of a tiger. Uchiha Tokumitsu then slid back and was riding on its back.
Although his oversized size can make him immune to some attacks, the inconvenience caused by it also makes it difficult for him to attack the overly agile old monkey, so it is better to fight head-on with the size of the tailed beast.
"Qiang!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu drew his sword and urged the two-tailed brigade to head forward.
The highly condensed and powerful Susanoo still envelops one person and one beast. The dark red chakra armor is like a ghost and god killed from hell. The look on the face of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen is also full of ferocity, facing him without fear. Uchiha Tokko launched a counterattack.
"The art of magic shackles!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu activated the Mangekyou Sharingan to activate the genjutsu. He stared at two figures of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't know whether they were his true form or his shadow clone. Then the tailed beast mount passed by the flank, and Uchiha Tokumitsu waved. The knife tried to decapitate him.
"clang!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not immobilized by the golden binding genjutsu, stepped forward to block Uchiha Tokumitsu's slash with his stick, while the other clone slapped the two immobilized figures behind to release the genjutsu.
Then the three shadow clones threw the Vajra Wishful Stick in their hands and smashed it towards Uchiha Tokko like a hammer.
Uchiha Tokumitsu urged the two tails to jump to the side again, and then dodged the childish attacks of the three Vajra Wishful Sticks.
Suddenly, two claws covered with monkey hair stretched out from one of the wishful sticks, and unexpectedly grabbed one of Erwei Youlu's tail.
"Huh!"
Uchiha Deguang suddenly felt something bad.
"Ruyi Stick·Shadow Clone Technique!"
The three Vajra Wishful Rods immediately raised a stream of smoke and turned into twenty-four giant pillars, falling around Uchiha Tokko.
"King Kong prison wall!"
With the simultaneous activation of the three Sarutobi clones, the giant pillar formed by the wish-fulfilling stick turned into a square cage, locking Uchiha Tokumitsu and Futamata in it.
At the same time, the three shadow clones quickly used the teleportation technique to form seals in three directions: south, east, and west.
"Three-way seal!"
A green translucent barrier once again enveloped the periphery of the square cage formed by the wishful stick, completely trapping Uchiha Tokko.
"It's really interesting..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled, "As expected of a ninjutsu professor, he is really full of tricks..."
"Travel again!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Futamata who was sitting next to him.
"Tailed beast jade!"
The big cat raised its head proudly and spat out the long-simmering Tailed Beast Jade towards the cage of the Ruyi Stick.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the Vajra Prison Wall and the three-way seal barrier were simultaneously penetrated by the Tailed Beast Jade.
Even the three shadow clones that maintained the barrier were shattered.
The Tailed Beast Dama, whose power was slightly reduced, continued to shoot at the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Psychic Technique: Triple Rashomon!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to launch his secret method, had to spread his hand seals, quickly bite his fingers and activate the psychic technique to summon the three black gates of purgatory. Only then could he withstand the aftershocks of the tailed beast jade's explosion.
"call……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had escaped from the trap, took a breath and shook his head to calm down his head that was stunned by the explosion; while Futatsuma Mataori was still in high spirits, showing no signs of being affected by the explosion.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen who settled not far away once again separated into three shadow clones, and together with the shadow clone originally responsible for ninjutsu suppression, once again formed a pentagonal formation.
The power of the combination of Susanoo + Tailed Beast was far beyond his imagination.
If it were just Mangekyou and Susanoo, although they were powerful, the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was proficient in most Konoha ninjutsu, still had the means to restrain them.
But with the blessing of tailed beasts, nearly infinite chakra and extremely high combat acuity, the combination of Uchiha Demitsu and Susanoo, the combat power that can be exerted is really beyond the standard.
"Mr. Hiruzen, you are indeed a bit old..."
Uchiha Tokko urged the two-tailed warrior to slowly step forward in an elegant cat walk, holding the sword across his chest.
"...Then how long do you think you can hold on?"
With the assistance of the four shadow clones, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed seals with a gloomy expression.
"You mean the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed to his eyes with his left hand, "It seems that traitor Kage has been leaking family secrets to you for a long time!"
"snort!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals together with the four shadow clones behind him.
Uchiha Tokko also formed a Yin Seal with one hand.
"Five Escapes: The Technique of Large Continuous Bullets!"
The main body and the four shadow clones raised their mouths together and sprayed out chakra of five different attributes to form a large chain of bullets and shoot it towards Uchiha Tokko.
"The Technique of Flame Release·Long Yan Singing!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu then extracted the chakra of the two tails and brigade, and mixed it with the power of his own Yin Release to form the Flame Release, turning into four flame dragons and shooting towards the Five Release Grand Continent.
"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
Four flame dragons hit the large chain of bullets in succession, completely detonating the ninjutsu.
If the quality is not enough, then quantity is enough!
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's ninjutsu is not as sophisticated and complex as the five-escape compound ninjutsu in terms of structure, he can still wipe it out with the help of the high-intensity tailed beast chakra.
"What a terrifying Uchiha..."
The strongest ninjutsu attack method also failed. The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen panted rapidly and stared at Uchiha Tokumitsu who was resting.
"At this level, Hiruzen-san is really not worthy of the title of Ninjutsu Professor..."
There was some disappointment in Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone. As he spoke, he urged Erwei Mataita to step forward slowly.
"By the way, aren't you going to use those forbidden arts that you have at the bottom of the box? If you continue like this, you will really die here..."
"In that case..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed a look of struggle, and then became determined again.
The four shadow clones stepped forward to block Uchiha Tokko and the tailed beast's path, while the main body quickly jumped back while forming seals.
"Then let me show you the greatest power of being Hokage! The little brat of the Uchiha family!"
"Eight Gates of Dunjia—Shengmen, open!"
I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to take a nap first. I have to continue dusting in the afternoon.
