Uchiha's opinion

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood on a hill three kilometers away from the Iwagakure Camp, looking at the Iwagakure Camp ahead.

Although the distance is far away, the vision bonus obtained after opening the Sharingan is not as good as Baiyan, but the shadowy figure of the ninja Iwagakure can still be seen in the distance.

Akimichi Tekkaze did not let the pigeons go. Just yesterday, nine ninjas from the Inoka Butterfly group came to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force to report to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and were immediately assigned to the front-line ninja army where Uchiha Tokumitsu was located by Uchiha Homon.

The ninjas of the Yamanaka clan were also very straightforward. According to Uchiha Tokumitsu's order, they forcibly used spirits to invade the captives' brains. After creating three patients with cerebral palsy and dementia, they successfully obtained the required information.

——This Yanyin is just a second-line Yanyin army to deceive people's eyes!

The real elite Yan Yin confronted Yun Yin in the western border of the Land of Earth, and secretly lurked in the area of ​​the Land of Rain to attack Yuren Village.

Therefore, in this case, whether to continue to attack the Yanyin Army has become a difficult decision.

The reason is simple, the camp of the Yanyin Ninja Army is still in the territory of the Land of Earth.

Large-scale Ninja cross-border operations are different from elite squad raids.

As long as no one is left alive or the operatives are not captured, it is a normal ninja village conflict; but if you lead hundreds or thousands of Konoha ninjas into the territory of the earth to attack its ninja camp, it does not matter whether the attack succeeds or fails. , Land of Earth and Hidden Rock Village must regard it as a war of aggression and fight back with all their strength; this is an insurmountable red line.

As far as ninjas are concerned, it is the power of shadow and daimyo to start a war; instigating war without authorization is not just as simple as despising Hokage's authority.

Among the newly transferred Ikabutterfly groups of the three teams, one of the Nara Clan Special Ninja Nara Shikahei who is regarded as a think tank by the members of the three-clan group team analyzed this.

In this regard, Uchiha Tokumitsu was also quite helpless.

If it was an ordinary matter, he might not take Hokage seriously, but he still had to be cautious when it involved the national war.

After all, he only has a thousand ninja troops under his command, and most of them are Uchiha tribesmen. Although it is not a big problem to defeat the Yanyin army in front of him according to the strength of intelligence, a large-scale attack on the battalion is a serious act of national warfare , has exceeded the scope of authority of the commander of the border force.

Uchiha Tokumitsu still felt unwilling.

According to the probing and raiding operations in the past few days, and with the comprehensive analysis of intelligence, the Yanyin Ninja Army in front of them is indeed a full-fledged army.

A good piece of fish belly is placed in front of your eyes, but you have to look at people to decide whether to start eating. This is really uncomfortable for a hungry cat.

The same is true for the Uchiha clan of per capita cat slaves.

The Uchiha ninjas who fought with the army found Uchiha Tokumitsu many times, patted their chests and begged to fight, willing to be the first to enter the enemy's line as a striker, and taught Iwahime a profound lesson with swords, ninjutsu and sharing eyes.

Uchiha Tokumitsu rejected them all.

Ordinary Uchihas can have no political mind, but as the default heir of the radical faction, he cannot.

Ninja clashes on the frontier and ninja invasion operations are two completely different concepts.

However, although he did not approve of directly ordering the ninja army to launch an attack on the Yanyin camp in the territory of the land of earth, it did not prevent the continued launch of a sabotage war to strangle Yanyin's secret sentry and communication ninjas.

And he himself came directly to the Yanyin Formation with the idea of ​​luring the enemy to pursue him.

Naihe Yanyin directly acted as a shrinking turtle, and directly used earth tunnels to create numerous high walls. Once Uchiha Tokumitsu showed signs of approaching, he would use mid-to-low-level ninjutsu such as earth bombs and earth thorns to interfere, and use earth wall techniques to destroy them. The terrain obstructed the siege, and all the ninjas of the brigade defended together, so that Uchiha Tokumitsu and a group of Uchiha jonin could not seize the opportunity to attack.

"Let's go back……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his head and said to the accompanying Jonin.

Facing Yan Yin, who was like a tortoise with an iron shell, he couldn't find a chance to attack and strangle him, so there was no point in waiting any longer.

A group of Uchiha ninjas have no other choice. After all, they are facing a ninja army from the five major countries. It can be shaken by patience.

"Has the village not replied yet?" Hinata Toshiki asked unwillingly.

Even though he can watch but not eat, even though he has great achievements, Hyuga ninja, who is known for his aristocratic demeanor and indifferent temperament, is also a little bit ready to move.

"not yet……"

"Hmph! The bureaucrats in the village are really ridiculous, but such important information has not been resolved for a long time!" Kensuke Uchiha, the guard accompanying the guard, complained a little angrily.

Others acted as if they had never heard the words. For Uchiha, counting down the Hokage family was just a daily routine, and it was not worth avoiding people.

"I just don't know if Iwagakushi will send support troops. If the information is timely, we can still try to surround the spot for reinforcements." Although Uchiha Tokumitsu also felt depressed, there was nothing he could do. All the Uchiha ninjas in the ninja army are his favorites, but he is reluctant to use them to waste their lives to storm the heavily guarded camp.

"Iwagakure is known for sticking to it..." Nara Kohei considered his words carefully, "Generally speaking, based on past experience, it is not worthwhile to attack Iwagakure's position if there is no advantage of more than twice the number of people..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally knows that Iwagakushi is good at defense, and the discipline of ninjas is the best among the five major ninja villages. In the future, the three generations of Raikage will be heaped to death based on the number of people.

"Of course I know..." Tokumitsu Uchiha would not be impulsive, "It's just a pity that I didn't have the chance to compete with Iwagakushi."

"If I can lead out Yanyin, then it will be easy..."

A group of Uchiha ninjas think so. It’s not like they haven’t seen the iron-headed baby these days, so they intend to sneak into the Yanyin camp to create chaos. As a result, before they get close to the camp area, they are blocked by a large number of earth-shun ninjutsu With a confused face, he had no choice but to retreat.

"Forget it, don't get entangled. After all, Konoha Ninja's life is much more valuable than Iwagakure, so there is no need to lose it for nothing." Uchiha Tokumitsu also spoke to comfort everyone.

All Jonin nodded in agreement.

...

Just when Uchiha Tokumitsu was having a headache for Iwagakure's tortoise shell, the Hokage Building far away in Konoha was already arguing about the battle report sent back from the front line.

"Arrogance! The Uchiha is too reckless!" Mitomonyan was furious, "How dare he ignore the edict and cross the border to attack Yanyin without authorization. Isn't he afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?"

The scope of Mitomenyan's power includes diplomacy with other ninja villages. In his eyes, Uchiha Tokumitsu's behavior is an evil deed that deliberately provokes war.

"That's right, Hirizhan, this time you have to punish this little boy!" Zhuanchi Xiaochun said, "The Uchiha clan are all unreasonable war lunatics, and the consequences of their instigation of war will be extremely bad!"

"How to punish? Punish him for defeating Iwagakure?" Hitomi Sarutobi, the third generation, beheaded his head without raising his head, "Or punish him for cleaning up the underground forces throughout the Kingdom of Grass after obtaining the permission of the Daimyo of the Country of Grass?"

"Hizan, you can't take sides with him!" Mitomon said dissatisfied, "Uchiha Tokumitsu sent ninjas to ambush and strangle Iwagakure ninjas in the territory of the land of land. , I don’t know how many ninjas the village will lose!”

"And he is ignoring the edict." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun continued, "The purpose of instigating war is to drag the village into the quagmire of war. Such reckless behavior must be severely punished!"

The third generation was also a little speechless.

"Have you forgotten? The first edict has been refuted by Huomen's right to object."

"Hmph! The Uchiha clan is full of arrogant people!" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun was still itchy with anger.

"...Okay! There's no need to get angry with Uchiha!" Sandaime sighed helplessly, Danzo was not around, why did the two advisors become so aggressive.

"The point is, is Yan Yin fighting or making peace? We must quickly come up with a countermeasure."

"Most of the mobile power of the village has been taken away. If we want to fight Yanyin, we must regroup the ninja army." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun frowned, a little worried, "In addition, we need to recruit family ninjas to join the battle, which is another big deal. Huge amounts of money…”

"Funding issues..." As Hokage, Third Generation also worried about money.

As the saying goes, once the cannon is fired, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold.

This also applies to the ninja army.

The assembly of Ninja troops, supplies of ninja equipment, drug procurement and treatment, etc. all require a lot of capital investment.

"Yan, if you are free, can you go to the capital to meet the daimyo again and ask him to allocate more funds." After thinking about it, I still have to spend gold coins from the rich.

"Okay." Mitomon Yan nodded calmly.

"Then... let's get back to the topic." Third Generation looked around the two of them, "Iwain... Is it war or peace?"

"Let the Uchiha withdraw." After calming down, Xiaochun thought for a while, "Even if Iwain's border troops are defeated, the village will not be able to continue to send more ninja troops to support and expand the results of the battle. The ninja army is downsizing."

Sandaime and Mitomonyan also felt that this was the only way to go.

"In addition, Huomen also requested that the ninja army be assigned to carry out a so-called 'strategic counterattack' against Iwagakushi, and sent back a list of material requirements." The third generation passed the information to Mitomen Yan.

"Uchiha's requirements are so many?" Mitomonyan looked at the list of required supplies and suddenly felt a headache.

"The ninja army can no longer be sent, just tell him clearly to stick to the country of grass." Zhuanzu Xiaochun continued, "At least the material requirements, after receiving the daimyo's appropriation, let's talk about the material matters."

"Indeed, the situation in the country of the rain is the most dangerous." Mito Menyan agreed with Zhuanju Koharu's words, "Iwain's border guards are just a smoke bomb for Iwain, not just Iwain, but even Sandin's trump card puppet troops. It also appeared on a large scale in the Land of Rain, and the battle over there is even more important, and we can't lose the big because of the small."

"In this case, then write back and order Uchiha Tokumitsu to retreat back to the territory of the country of grass." The third generation thought for a while, and felt that the battlefield of the country of rain was more important.

"...Child Tokumitsu, at such a young age, he can lead the Ninja Army to defeat the Iwagakushi Division. It's really not as good as underestimating it." Mito Menyan felt a little emotional.

"Using one family to conquer one country..." Third Generation picked up the battle report of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, "Uchiha... is really quite old-fashioned."

The two advisors were silent.

Except for the Warring States Period, since the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, there has never been an example of leading a ninja army at such an age.

"It's really similar to...the style of Uchiha Madara when he was young..."
