Fifth Generation Uchiha Legend

early morning

In the eastern stronghold of the Fire Country

Naraku Bold and Grandiose sat on the defensive officer's seat, with several ninja troop commanders below.

Originally, there were twenty large fortresses and forty-five small sentries in the eastern stronghold. Before Naraku led his troops to support, forty-five small outposts on the outside were abandoned by garrison officer Yuki Fukushima.

Gathering the ninja teams who were stationed in various places and waiting for reinforcements, Fukushima Yuki has some commanding ability and vision, and he is worthy of the commander appointed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If the outer strongholds had not been removed and defeated one by one, and this eastern stronghold was breached, the situation in the eastern part of the Country of Fire would definitely be in ruins.

"Lord Naraku! Now Mist Shinobi has been expelled. According to intelligence, tens of thousands of ninjas have gathered in Mist Shinobi and are building ships. I am afraid they will attack soon.

At that time, I will rely on you, Naraku-sama! "

Yuki Fukushima showed no dissatisfaction when his position was snatched away, but was very respectful. After all, it was the Uchiha clan that even saved his life.

"Well, how did you take stock of the battle situation yesterday? Yuki-kun, you were too careless. Even the information from the command post was snooped by Mist Shinobi.

If our support hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid this eastern defense line would have been doomed. "

In the field, Uchiha Fugaku, the second elder Uchiha Qiang, Akamichi Dingzao, Hyuga Hizashi, and a few Naraku can't name them, Konoha Jōnin who serves as Akamichi Dingzao, and Hyuga's Jōnin.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that most of the fifty ninjas in our stronghold were killed or injured. Only about ten of them are still able to fight, eleven of them were slightly injured, and the other twenty-eight have been killed.

In the entire eastern stronghold, due to Mist Shinobi's invasion, nearly half of the thousand tribesmen were killed or injured, and currently only 500 people can participate in the battle. "

Fukushima Yuki said with a sigh.

Naraku had a general understanding of the defense situation of the eastern stronghold. Nearly half of a thousand people were lost, which was a heavy loss.

Naraku glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, mainly wanting to know the casualties of the vanguard he led.

Fugaku saw Naraku's eyes and said solemnly:

"Three hundred vanguard troops suffered nearly a hundred casualties, forty-seven tribesmen died, and sixty tribesmen were injured to varying degrees. After treatment by the medical team, they will soon be able to regain their fighting strength."

When Naraku heard this, he touched his eyes. Three hundred people fought for just a short time, and the casualties were so high. As one of the five great ninja villages, Mist Shinobi is known as the Blood Mist, so he really has some skills.

"Where's the harvest?"

"In these days of counting, we have captured a total of 365 enemy corpses."

"Four hundred and one captured"

"One thousand and one hundred weapons were captured."

"Six hundred and seventy were captured."

The Hyuga family gained more than 300, Akamichi Dingza's team gained more than 400, Uchiha's statistics gained 1,100, and the defense of the eastern stronghold gained 670.

"Well, that's right. Although we suffered a lot of casualties, Mist Shinobi suffered even greater losses."

Twenty strongholds on the eastern defense line were fully attacked, and they resisted desperately, with nearly half of the casualties. It can be said that the losses were heavy, but at least one for one was guaranteed, and the killing was impressive.

If the garrison had not waited for reinforcements, I am afraid that the entire army of 1,000 people would have been wiped out, and the gains would have been limited to just over 600. One thousand Konoha Shinobi is exchanged for more than 600 Mist Shinobi.

But later Uchiha Naraku, Hyuga Hizashi and Akamichi Dingza attacked the tired Mist Shinobi with fresh forces, and achieved good results with relatively small losses.

In this battle, the three thousand ninja tribe of Mist Shinobi, ascertained based on intelligence, were almost completely killed or injured. There is no longer a threat to the eastern part of the Fire Country.

But the hundreds of Mist Shinobi who escaped were all Mist Shinobi upper echelons and powerful ninjas. As for the Genin lost by the Mist Shinobi, they graduated and were promoted every year.

"Well, it's a good victory. This Mist Shinobi's vanguard is no longer a threat to us. We should be prepared and wait for the Mist Shinobi's army."

"Hi!" X10

...

Konoha

Hokage Building

Sarutobi Hiruzen is in the Hokage office. Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura are sitting on mats, dealing with Konoha affairs.

Now that Konoha is surrounded by enemies, most of the ninjas in the village have been arranged to perform tasks. This situation of full bloom cannot be handled by Sarutobi Hiruzen alone, so he can only ask two advisers to assist in handling political affairs.

"Third Generation, the Namikaze Minato you are optimistic about is really good. In one battle, he killed thirty ninjas, including several famous Jōnin from Cloud Shinobi, ensuring the safety of the Northeastern defense line. This Namikaze Minato is really good. "

After Mitokado Homura finished processing several files, he couldn't help but praise Namikaze Minato twice in a row.

"Well, this yellow flash Namikaze Minato, Cloud Shinobi Village has ordered. You can give up the mission when you see the yellow flash. You have achieved some of the achievements of the White Fang. He is really an excellent ninja."

In Utatane Koharu's words, he also expressed his approval of Namikaze Minato.

"Haha, this is really rare good news. Minato has always been an excellent ninja. The Flying Thunder God Technique of Second Hokage has shone in Minato's hands. It is really a blessing for us in Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel happy when the two consultants praised Namikaze Minato. Previously, Jiraiya applied to Sarutobi Hiruzen to let Namikaze Minato practice the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Without hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly handed over the Flying Thunder God Technique to Jiraiya and asked him to cultivate Namikaze Minato. As a result, he really cultivated a powerful ninja, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel proud.

There are many powerful ninjas in Konoha. For Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is a glorious achievement during his reign.

The image of Namikaze Minato flashed through the two advisors' minds, and they couldn't help but be very satisfied with this ninja with yellow hair, a gentle smile and a very reliable nature.

"At the eastern stronghold, after Uchiha Naraku successfully defeated the invading Mist Shinobi forward, their Mist Shinobi forces assembled for more than three months without setting off. Is this Mist Shinobi afraid of us Konoha?"

Mitokado Homura turned over the file and saw the next item, which was a letter of request for war sent by Naraku using Ninja Eagle, and continued:

"Haha, Uchiha Naraku actually wants to directly attack the Mist Shinobi homeland. It's really courageous. They only have three thousand people. As long as the east side they defend can remain stable and does not fall, everything will be fine."

"Unexpectedly, Uchiha Naraku took action and defeated the three thousand invading Mist Shinobi within a week, and our own battle losses were not high. Well, maybe their three thousand people can hold the defense line of the eastern stronghold."

Utatane Koharu, the lady in the quartet, said after reading Uchiha Naraku's request letter, after thinking for a while.

"Now is the time to employ people. Namikaze Minato from the Northeast is blocking Cloud Shinobi. Cloud Shinobi Village is so rampant that they actually declared war on the three kingdoms of Fire, Wind, and Earth at the same time, which greatly relieves my pressure.

As for the affairs of the Kingdom of Water, the eastern stronghold, as long as Uchiha Naraku can guard the eastern stronghold Mist Shinobi, that will be fine. As for the attack on the Kingdom of Water, Koharu, please reply to Naraku.

Tell Uchiha Naraku to just defend the eastern stronghold and don't underestimate Kirigakure, known as the Blood Mist. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly that Sarutobi Hiruzen had the same view as Utatane Koharu regarding the eastern defense issue explained by Utatane Koharu.

Mitokado Homura chuckled upon hearing this: "Third Generation, you said Cloud Shinobi Village is rampant, and Uchiha Naraku is rampant. Three thousand people want to attack Kirigakure. As long as he doesn't ask for help, we will burn incense."

The three of them chatted freely about the situation and dealt with the government affairs at hand.

By the way, Uchiha Naraku has a headache at the moment. After quickly defeating the Mist Shinobi vanguard, Mist Shinobi's large army has not arrived after waiting for three months. Mist Shinobi seems to have stopped coming, and he doesn't know what he is doing in the Land of Water.

Uchiha Naraku wrote a letter to Hokage, reporting the situation, and also requested to attack Kirigakure and see the opinions of Hokage and others.

Although Naraku leads the army, these Konoha Shinobi are the mouthpiece Naraku plans to use to promote Uchiha's reputation.

If they lead a battle, resulting in heavy casualties and a miserable victory, there would be no point in promoting their reputation.
