Kirigakure, once one of the five great ninja villages, is about to embark on the road to destruction.
Surrounded by the shogunate ninja army, the remnants of the Kirigakure ninja village have fallen into a state of panic.
Even though there are still 3,000 people in the Ninja Village, they are still more capable than the more than 1,000 shogunate vanguard ninja troops encircling them. However, no one in the Ninja Village has the slightest intention to fight.
"Failed, defeated..."
In Kirigakure's Elders' Council, four Kirigakure elders gathered together decadently.
After the Meiryo Sea Battle, the Kirigakure elders who successfully seized power were full of energy and tried to use the United Alliance to contain the shogunate's continued invasion. However, after several days of struggle, they found that the previous experience of following the rules was not applicable to the shogunate. Nothing works.
Envoys who went to the ninja continent to try to contact foreign aid reported one after another that the three major ninja villages had no interest in interfering with Kirigakure's muddy waters. Kumogakure, who had just ended the war, even expressed his joy that Kirigakure would be breached.
However, Iwagakure, the most powerful among the three great ninja villages, was completely focused on competing with Sunagakure and had no intention of intervening in Kirigakure's affairs.
It’s okay to cut off foreign aid. This is not incomprehensible; every ninja village in the ninja continent has been severely beaten by the Uchiha clan. It is normal for them to be unwilling to send troops to "maintain peace" at this critical juncture, but they have not even joined forces. They are unwilling to issue statements that do not have any effect. Even the envoy Kirigakure wants them to stand up and condemn the shogunate...
"Such a short-sighted person..."
A Kirigakure elder closed his eyes in despair: "Forget it, there is nothing to worry about..."
"What Kirigakure encounters today will also be the situation they face in the future..."
"If they don't want to support Kirigakure today, they will have to defend the shogunate in the village from now on!"
The Kirigakure elders and a group of followers cursed incessantly.
But no matter how ugly the scolding is, so what?
The ninja army of the shogunate will not retreat even if they are scolded, and the situation in Kirigakure will not be improved in the slightest because of the indignation of the elders.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Masahiko Kito taking the initiative to stop the probing attack of his headquarters and ordering his shogunate ninja troops to actively refuse to surrender before the battle, Kirigakure would have taken the initiative to welcome the three clans of ninjas back to the village with honor.
"Three thousand ninja troops..."
Another Kirigakure ninja let out the wail of a defeated dog.
Everyone present was moved to tears upon hearing this.
If Loquat Juuzang leads his troops to return reinforcements, Kirigakure may still have some say in negotiations. Whether he fights first and then surrenders, or directly uses this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the shogunate, he will have some leverage.
But after Loquat Juzo chose to cross the sea eastward, Kirigakure, who lost his last remaining force, could only choose to lie down and pray to the shogunate to save them some dignity.
In fact, whether it can achieve a decent ending depends on whether the shogunate is willing to show mercy.
Why was one of the top five ninja villages reduced to such a state...
All the elders and jounin were puzzled.
"My lords!"
A young Kirigakure genin ran in out of breath. He did not knock on the door or salute, but shouted in panic: "Red flag! The Uchiha ninja army has raised the red flag!"
"What!"
All the Kirigakure senior executives were shocked and quickly walked out of the conference room and jumped to the commanding heights of the Ninja Village to look up.
A red flag with the Uzumaki family emblem embroidered on it was hung on the top of a big tree in the main camp of the shogunate ninja army. A large group of shogunate ninjas gathered under the flag and were preparing for battle.
"...More troops have been added!"
"He is from the Uzumaki clan..."
"Kirigakure is over..."
All the elders of Kirigakure lost their minds.
At this moment, three red flares shot into the sky, and the shogunate ninja army officially launched the attack.
"The only option is to fight to the death..."
A Kirigakure elder smiled bitterly, took out a kunai from his arms and rushed towards the direction of the shogunate's ninja army's attack.
"...If we don't die, the ninjas in the village will not survive."
Another Kirigakure elder sighed, shook his head, and then charged.
The other two Kirigakure elders looked ashen and froze on the spot.
"The weather is too cold, go back..."
An elder Kirigakure who stayed behind tightened his clothes and found an excuse for himself.
"That's right, maybe the water was too cold when I took a shower yesterday..."
Another timid Kirigakure elder nodded quickly.
But before he could finish his words, a ninja sword came out from behind him.
"Uh uh uh……"
Elder Kirigakure, who was stabbed in the chest by a ninja sword, only had time to let out a few desperate screams before he was killed by another ninja sword.
"You! Are you going to rebel?"
Elder Kirigakure, who witnessed all this, shouted in panic: "You are committing the following crime! Don't you want to live?"
The person who stabbed him in the back was the elder's confidant Jonin.
"Sir Elder...please be decent!"
The trusted jounin pulled out the ninja sword from the dead elder's chest without expression, and then pulled out a short sword from his waist and threw it to the still living elder.
"Elder, please be decent!"
Under the glare of everyone, the panicked Elder Kirigakure picked up the short knife on the ground with trembling hands, gently stroking the blade with his fingers, his eyes filled with tears.
"Decent..."
Elder Kirigakure laughed to himself, and then stabbed the short knife into his heart without hesitation.
"... Come together, let the shogunate see Kirigakure's courage!"
After pouring down a bottle of potion and turning the bodies of the two elders into a pool of pus, the leading Kirigakure ninja was the first to use the teleportation technique and rush towards the overwhelming Shogunate ninja army.
"Suffer death!"
The Kirigakure ninja who launched a desperate charge howled and rushed towards the shogunate ninja army like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The shogunate ninja army, which was going smoothly, were also a little surprised when they faced the Kirigakure ninja who not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back.
But this is also an insignificant counterattack that can't change anything at all.
"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Without any orders from Uzumaki Ashina at the high seat command post, a team of Uchiha ninjas immediately came forward and used fire ninjutsu to wipe out the Kirigakure ninja's water ninjutsu.
Then a group of ninjas from the three tribes led a group of surrendered Kirigakure and killed them.
After a period of fierce fighting, all the Kirigakure ninjas who tried to counterattack were slaughtered.
"Lord Ashina..."
Masahiko Kito, who was also watching the battle, turned his attention to Ashina Uzumaki, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Uzumaki Ashina just stared at the battlefield for a moment, then closed his eyes again to rest.
"..."
Ghost Light Masahiko had no choice but to return to his seat and sit down.
Minazuki Qingnuo tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook her head, indicating that he should be quiet.
Ghost Light Masahiko also understood what he meant, and nodded towards Minazuki Chino.
He originally wanted to allow more Kirigakure ninjas to survive by surrendering, but now it seems that Uzumaki Ashina, who is in charge of the command, obviously does not want to leave so many Kirigakure ninjas.
"……enough,"
After a long time, Uzumaki Ashina gave the order: "Anyone who abandons his weapon and surrenders within five minutes may live!" "Yes!" "
Ghost Deng Masahiko did not dare to say more, and immediately left the table and hurried to the battlefield.
"Prepare a shogunate flag and a United Nations medal."
Ashina Uzumaki said to Chino Minazuki who was standing aside: "In addition, you also need to lead your troops to capture the last few behind-the-scenes of Kirigakure and plant the flag of the shogunate on the top of the Mizukage Building!"
"I obey your orders!"
The overjoyed Minazuki Chino immediately stepped forward and knelt down.
Uzumaki Ashina's expression remained calm. While watching Minazuki Chino go to organize his subordinates, he gave instructions to his clan members.
"Send the good news back to headquarters to Lord Tokuguang! Just say..."
Uzumaki Ashina searched for a while and then said leisurely: "Please take the time to visit His Most Loyal Kirigakure, Your Majesty the Supreme Governor!"
