The familiar fighting mode of the Kirigakure Ninja is still individual fighting, and they have never imagined that they will encounter such intensive explosions.
The blast dispelled the thick fog, but even thicker smoke covered the entire village, completely blocking out the sun. The Kirigakure ninjas in the village were plunged into darkness, and could only see the red light from the burning houses, the flickering flames like hellfire.
Their eardrums were torn by the sound of the explosion and they could hear almost nothing, but there was also an incomprehensible buzzing sound that continued in their ears.
The Kirigakure Ninja felt that he was already in hell.
The lack of experience in fighting tough battles, the fragmented power structure of the Hidden Mist Village, and the overly cruel policy of the Blood Mist Village have all led to a great lack of resilience among the Hidden Mist Ninjas.
When Uchiha Yu commanded the Tiger Force to launch a second round of explosions, they collapsed.
This part of the Kirigakure ninjas left the village in extreme chaos, with no gradient cover nor the Kirigakure technique to cover their retreat.
Uchiha You immediately determined that it was the Kirigakure ninja who was escaping, so he immediately ordered the Tiger Unit to pursue them and kill as many enemy manpower as possible.
He himself took the lead and rushed towards the Kirigakure ninja, his target being the Kirigakure jonin who was mixed in the crowd.
He was a cunning fellow, who looked like he was crawling on the ground, in tattered clothes and in a miserable state, but the chakra in his body was steadily rising, even on the verge of boiling, and he could unleash deadly ninjutsu at any time.
It is obvious that the Kirigakure Jonin that Uchiha You is targeting is quite cunning.
Maybe his tactical command ability is average, but he is definitely a veteran in combat. He can skillfully suppress his chakra, control the rhythm of preparing ninjutsu, and can strike a head-on blow to the attacker at any time.
But Uchiha You is naturally different from ordinary ninjas. With his strength, it will be no problem for him to defeat the Kirigakure jonin. The problem is that this battle will take place in full view of everyone, in front of hundreds of Uchiha ninjas from the Tiger Unit.
In other words, after this battle, the combat mode that Uchiha You can publicly use will be determined and become part of Uchiha You's public identity.
Uchiha You was a little hesitant. He now possessed too much power and was not sure which power he should use in order to appear powerful enough but not too excessive.
[Sharingan, fire escape technique, illusion technique, and physical technique will suffice...right?]
As Uchiha You approached at a very fast speed, the Kirigakure Jonin locked him as his target. When the two were only eight meters apart, he suddenly turned around and activated the ninjutsu he had prepared for a long time.
Water Style: Water Bullet
Chakra gathered in the hands of the Kirigakure Jonin, and water bullets like cannonballs were continuously fired from his hands, sweeping at Uchiha You.
The level of the Kirigakure jonin was very high. They did not chase Uchiha Yu to attack, but fired water bombs evenly with him as the center, so that the water bombs covered all of Uchiha Yu's dodging space.
Seeing Uchiha You being covered by dense water cannon shells, the fierce attack pierced through his Chunin vest, penetrated his flesh, and brought out a dazzling burst of blood.
When the Kirigakure Ninja saw the blood, he immediately knew that something was wrong and turned around and ran without hesitation, but he was hit on the forehead by a finger, and then he fell backwards.
The power transmitted from the fingers was unbelievable, and the Kirigakure Jonin was completely unable to resist. The violent impact on his head almost broke his cervical vertebrae, and the severe concussion made him feel strongly like vomiting.
Uchiha You knocked down the Kirigakure jonin with one finger and sneered, "You think your ninjutsu is very secret? That's ridiculous. No one can play tricks in front of my eyes!"
The Mist Hidden Ninja Indigo understood that his ninjutsu attack was an illusion created by illusion, and the enemy's physical skills were even more terrifying. He was beaten without any ability to fight back. He understood that he had encountered an enemy far more powerful than himself, and he could not escape back.
In this case, he no longer hid himself, and stood up to say something, but he saw a sea of red eyes, and he was stunned: "Sharingan! So many Sharingan, you are Uchiha!"
The next moment, he noticed the three magatama in Uchiha You's eyes, and was immediately frightened out of his wits: "Three magatama Sharingan, it turns out to be a jonin of the Uchiha family! ... Wait."
The Kirigakure Jonin pointed a shaking finger at Uchiha Yuu: "Why are you wearing a Chunin vest? Why don't you have the Uchiha clan emblem?"
"Of course it's to trick a fool like you into charging over here."
Uchiha You sneered and said, "If we had revealed the Uchiha clan emblem in advance, would you have attacked so fiercely and directly broke into Kubota Village?"
Indigo did not answer this question, nor did he need to answer it, as everyone knew the answer.
If he knew that the enemy here was Uchiha ninja, he certainly would not rush directly into Kubota Village, he would only turn around immediately and join the nearest team of ninjas. After forming a larger battle group, he would turn around and return directly.
As long as he can bring back the information about the Uchiha, he should not be punished.
Instead, the commanders would think he was steady and assign him enough ninjas, gathering at least 500 ninjas to attack the Uchiha again.
At this time, the Sharingan was extremely famous, which was completely different from the situation after the Uchiha family was exterminated. At this time, the Uchiha surname represented the number one ninja clan in the ninja world, and the deterrent power was very sufficient.
As a result, Uchiha Yu had to issue an order requiring the Tiger Troops to hide the Uchiha clan emblem and not to open the Sharingan in advance before the battle. Only in this way can they attract fewer enemies and give the novice warriors a chance to practice easily.
Although it is unknown why, the Kirigakure ninja dispatched twice as many troops as Uchiha Yuu expected, but it was still less than the force that would be assembled at least five times to fight against the Uchiha ninja.
When the Kirigakure ninja saw Uchiha You's smug face, he became furious. He raised his chakra again and decided that even if he died, he would die while attacking.
With the determination to die, the Kirigakure jonin resolutely detonated the chakra in his body, at the cost of breaking his meridians and completely losing his chakra and life, in exchange for a chance to perform the unmarked ninjutsu.
But his speed was still too slow. Although he didn't need to form hand seals, the gathering and circulation of chakra still took time. For Uchiha Yu's three-magatama Sharingan, everything was just slow motion.
He even determined in advance based on the way the chakra gathered that this was the Water Style: Water Cannon Technique, an offensive ninjutsu that required the secret technique of water transformation as a prerequisite in its normal state. It was particularly good at breaking armor and penetrating, and had great lethality.
See through in advance, simulate operations, and arrive first after starting later, this is the copy eye ability of the Three Magatama Sharingan.
However, Uchiha You does not know how to use water-style ninjutsu, so he cannot perform the trick of synchronized ninjutsu attacks like Hatake Kakashi.
He used the ninjutsu that he developed casually. The structure of the fire ninjutsu constructed with pure fire chakra was firmly bound in his fists, forming a pair of flaming fists.
Before the Kirigakure ninjutsu could be activated, before he raised his fingers to make a pistol gesture, Uchiha You had already thrown a fierce punch.
The Kirigakure Ninja only felt the heat waves rolling, everything in his sight was distorted, and the hot red fist was like a meteor, rushing straight towards his face.
The Kirigakure Ninja instinctively wanted to dodge, but then he realized that he hadn't known when his body became unable to move.
He immediately guessed that this was some kind of illusion. At the moment when their eyes met and he saw the pair of three-magatama Sharingan, he fell into the enemy's illusion.
The Kirigakure Jonin felt that he was wronged. If it was a normal battle, he would of course be doubly cautious against the Uchiha family's ninjas and would never give the enemy any chance to look at each other.
If you are a ninja, you will know that it is difficult not to look your opponent in the eye during a battle. Fighting based on avoiding your opponent's eyes is even more difficult. But none of them is as dangerous as being looked into the eyes by the Three-magatama Sharingan.
This is common sense that has been passed down since the Warring States Period, and it is a truth that has been accumulated from countless lives and corpses.
But these Konoha ninjas in front of him didn't have any Uchiha clan emblems. Who could have thought that the proud Uchiha clan ninjas would shamelessly hide their identities?
In addition, after he and his subordinates captured the village, they were defeated by a group of Konoha ninjas dressed as Genin. Their morale collapsed and they had to flee the village, where they were chased to pieces by the enemy.
Indigo was so shocked that he never thought that these enemies were Uchiha, so he didn't think about the fatal ninja ban:
When fighting with Uchiha ninjas, you must never see their Sharingan!
The way to crack Uchiha's three-magatama Sharingan is for two people to cooperate, one as bait, and the other takes the opportunity to attack from behind!
Fighting Uchiha ninjas, be careful...
The Kirigakure Ninja recalled the taboos related to the Uchiha Ninja, closed his eyes helplessly, and waited for death to come in despair.
Uchiha You did not let his enemy go just because he closed his eyes. He hit the Kirigakure Jonin Indigo's chest with his flaming fist, leaving a fist mark deeply embedded in his body.
In just one second, Uchiha You punched the enemy nine times. The attacks were so dense that the sounds of bones breaking and flesh hitting merged into one, leaving nine fist marks that were nearly 10 centimeters deep.
Indigo lost consciousness at that moment and was beaten unconscious, but then the burning sensation and severe pain from deep within his body brought him back to consciousness.
The nine fist marks glowed, and Indigo's eyes, ears, and mouth also glowed, as if there was a lit steel furnace inside his body. A faint red light, amazing heat, and a faint white smoke emanated from all the holes in his body.
The Kirigakure Jonin Indigo was no longer able to struggle. He fell to his knees in agony and tried to scream to the sky, but golden, almost white flames spurted out of his mouth.
Then his skin began to crack, and golden flames spurted out from the cracks. His body, unable to struggle, was twisted by the flames, and more and more flames came out from the inside out, like a bonfire.
The golden flames, which were almost white, had an astonishing temperature. All the ninjas could only avoid them from a distance. The grass on the ground was quickly dried up by the flames and then ignited.
Through the hot air that distorted the light, and through the blazing flames, people saw the body being burned to ashes bit by bit.
Sure enough, it was not a furnace, but an incinerator.
Uchiha Yu looked at his fist helplessly and learned the name of this technique: Fire Style: Incineration Fist
Among the fleeing Kirigakure ninjas, the Jonin Indigo was the first to die. The other Kirigakure ninjas only lived a little longer, maybe about three minutes, before the Tiger Unit wiped out all the attacking Kirigakure ninjas.
No prisoners.
…
About ten minutes after the first battle in Kubota Village ended, the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village who were discussing the next stage of the attack plan were furious.
The first Jonin who managed to escape brought back the bad news that the attacking ninjas were completely wiped out.
"How is it possible? How could our 300 elite soldiers be wiped out by 100 Genin?"
Kaguya Ren stared at the jonin in front of him with wide eyes and roared, "You are the only ninja who survived the attack on Kubota Village. Tell me, did you betray him?"
Facing the roar of one of the three giants of the Kirigakure Ninja Army, the Jonin still calmly replied: "All the ninjas are dead. I saw it with my own eyes while hiding far away, and I did not betray."
The jonin looked at Kaguya Ren and said tit for tat: "...at least not yet."
Kaguya Ren was furious: "I'm so mad!"
Kaguya Ren started to curse loudly, spewing simple obscenities over and over again, but he did not really rush up to hit anyone, because he also knew that this was a critical moment and he really couldn't mess things up.
The attack on Kubota Village failed, which had a huge impact on the entire combat plan of the Kirigakure Ninja Army.
In fact, there were more than 40 attack points on the entire display. It was not just Kubota who failed in the attack, but the failure of those points was not important. As long as the adjacent points were captured, the defense line of Konoha Village could also be torn apart. If the Konoha ninjas who defended their own defense zone did not retreat, they would be surrounded by the Kirigakure ninjas.
Only Kubota was different. The hill, which was only a few meters high, defined a large enough battlefield area, thus providing the basic conditions for persisting on one's own.
If this hill cannot be conquered, the Kirigakure ninja's supply transportation will have to be diverted far away, and the risk will be infinitely magnified when continuing to attack forward.
As long as Orochimaru still has any brains left, he will withdraw troops into this hill, strengthen the counterattack, and continue to destroy and harass the rear of the Kirigakure Ninja Army.
The Kirigakure Ninja Army must withdraw more ninjas to encircle the city, and more and more of its forces will be tied up around this hill. The attacking power on the front line will continue to weaken until it is no longer able to capture Tangquan City.
If Kubotamura can really hold out under any circumstances, this hill located in the middle of the defense line can play the role of most of the defense line.
Therefore, the Kirigakure Ninja Army must immediately mobilize enough strength to capture this key point as soon as possible.
But this is also the most headache-inducing problem for Gui Deng Shuo Yue: who should he let go?
The political structure of the Hidden Mist Village is quite backward, and the independence of the ninja clan is far higher than that of the Konoha Village. Apart from the Mizukage, the Ninja School and the Mizukage Anbu, there is a Ninja Alliance, and the Mizukage is the leader of the alliance.
This political structure extends to the Kirigakure Ninja Army, where the troops are also composed of families. Even the members of each team are all ninjas from one family, and at most there are ninjas from small clans affiliated with the family.
If a ninja army is completely wiped out, it means that the ninja clan is completely finished and will be expelled from the Hidden Mist Village within a few days.
The Konohagakure ninja army of Kubota Village was so ferocious that they were able to wipe out three times as many Kirigakure ninjas with one against three. Which Kirigakure ninja would be willing to take out their own wealth and fight with such a vicious enemy?
Gui Deng Shuoyue asked almost everyone, but no one was willing to take on this task. He shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that we can only draw people evenly. Each family will send out a team, and we will have 500 people in total..."
"No!" The only surviving ninja interrupted Kizuki and said seriously, "Even if there are a thousand ninja soldiers gathered together like this, they can't beat the Konoha ninjas."
The ninjas in the command center were stunned by his words and began to question him.
"Soap! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"They can't even win with a force of five to one. How can there be such a strong ninja army in the ninja world? Are all those Konoha ninjas Jonin?"
Jounin Zao shook his head and said, "They are all wearing Genin clothing. Although they are very powerful, at most some of them are Chunin. As for Jonin, there should be some, but definitely not many."
"Then what are you worried about? After all, they only have a hundred people. Oh, no, there will definitely be casualties after this battle. The number of people should be less than..."
“No loss!”
“…”
"I mean the enemy suffered no losses!"
"When the jonin Indigo died in battle, I counted the number of Konoha ninjas who participated in the battle from a distance. There were 102 of them, not one less."
“…”
Ling frowned and said in distress, "Zero casualties? This is bad."
Kaguya Ren stopped roaring and sat down with a gloomy face. He looked at the other two commanders and said, "It seems that only the three of us can go up."
Gui Deng Shuo Yue nodded and sighed, "Alas, it can only be us. Only the three of us have enough confidence and can bear the risk of a few failures."
Ling asked, "Who's going to be the first?"
His question was not directed at anyone, but his eyes were fixed on Kaguya Ren, and it was obvious that he was asking this irritable guy: You say every day that you want to fight this and that, and you say that only the toughest enemies are worthy of the Kaguya family. Now that the tough guy has appeared, do you still count?
Kaguya Ren was indeed a member of the battle madman Huiye family. He stood up with a laugh, pointed at a Kaguya clan member in the crowd and said, "Haiye, you go!"
"Let the ninja world see the power of the Kaguya family, let everyone know that our Kaguya family is the number one ninja clan in the ninja world, and the Shikotsugi clan is the strongest bloodline limit in the ninja world."
The most standardly dressed Kaguya ninja took a step forward and replied softly, "Yes."
His voice was calm, but his green eyes were flashing with an almost crazy fighting spirit, and all the ninjas who looked at him couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Crazy, warlike, and powerful, these are the biggest characteristics of the Hyuga clan ninjas, even more representative than their uniform ancient costumes.
The Kaguya family's troops took on the attack mission, and all the Kirigakure ninjas felt relieved.
