The Third Raikage said that Kirigakure is bound to lose, so they are bound to lose.
It has been nearly twenty years, and the Third Raikage's judgment has never been wrong. The current Kumogakure ninjas have become accustomed to it and no longer have any doubts about his judgment.
As the Third Raikage's order was passed on, the Cloud Ninja of the Moon Country quickly assembled and headed towards the Hot Spring Country, heading straight for the location where the Mist Fleet was currently stationed.
The Raikage also issued an order: "Let Ai and Bi meet up with me as soon as possible. I will take them to see the Konoha ninja army. Maybe it will inspire some ideas for us to create an elite force in Kumogakure."
Dodai took the order and immediately arranged for the ninja to issue the order. When he finished all this, the Raikage had already strode away. He wanted to rush to the front line as soon as possible and lead the Kumogakure ninja to start the war.
For the past twenty years, every time a war broke out with the four major ninja villages, the Third Raikage always stood in front of all the Hidden Cloud Ninjas and led everyone forward.
As Tudai watched the sturdy figure of the Raikage walking further and further away, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps, the rebellion of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers was actually a great thing.
In that disaster, the Hidden Cloud Village lost half of its ninjas and the Second Raikage, but the Third Raikage who succeeded him was a much better and even perfect leader.
Although Konoha Village only lost one Senju Tobirama, the successor, the Third Hokage himself, was the biggest surprise that fate gave to the four major ninja villages.
Under the command of the Third Hokage, the Konoha Village fought without any strategy during the Second Ninja World War, which eventually led to the grand scene of the four major ninja villages besieging Konoha.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Konoha White Fang and his single-handed destruction of the Sand Village, they might really have destroyed Konoha Village.
This was unimaginable in the era of the Second Hokage.
Senju Tobirama is not only a master of forbidden techniques, he is also a great politician and an extraordinary diplomat.
The Konoha Village under his leadership had never fought with two ninja villages at the same time. During the First Ninja World War, Konoha Village actually fought three consecutive wars against a single ninja village.
Thanks to the diplomatic efforts of Tobirama Senju, the ninjas from the Sand Village and the Konoha Village ended the state of war without even fighting a single battle.
Tsuchida simply could not imagine what reason Tobirama Senju used to convince the Second Kazekage to remain absolutely neutral during the war between Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village.
Fortunately he died.
…
Uchiha You looked at the dozen or so crystal clear beads in front of him with a very strange expression on his face.
Miwa Masayo asked, "What is this thing? Can I eat it, meow?"
Uchiha You's expression became even weirder. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "These are the remains of Kaguya Kaiye. I found them from the pile of ashes that was like a small mountain."
Miwa Masayo's expression also became extremely strange, and she even made a vomiting gesture.
"These hard beads that appeared after the flames burned should be the essence of his body, condensed on the bones. This thing has a special name, called relics."
"Generally speaking...human remains cannot be eaten."
"Okay meow, I get it meow, don't say anymore meow, ugh~~"
Miwa Masayo ran away in a flash, leaving Uchiha You alone, looking at a dozen relics and thinking silently.
[There seems to be some kind of terrifying power sealed in here. The strength of the power may not be high, but the level of the power is definitely extraordinary.]
[How can I extract the power from here? ]
[Eat...vomit~~]
[No, I can't get over this psychological barrier. Let's slowly think of other ways.]
Uchiha You put away the relics, pouted his mouth, filled a bag of ashes, came to a piece of land that had just been turned over, and scattered the ashes evenly there.
The next battle might be accompanied by a flood, and these ashes would definitely be washed away. Uchiha You decided to collect as much as possible and bury them in the turned over soil.
Once compacted, it is difficult for floods to wash it away.
When the flood recedes, the land mixed with ashes and soaked with water will become the best vegetable field.
After staying in Kubota Village for three days, Uchiha You faced the fertile land surrounding the village and his instinct to plant something began to take effect.
So during the rest time, we started collecting the ashes to prevent them from being washed away by the flood and wasting this excellent phosphorus fertilizer.
Who would have known that there would be unexpected discoveries in the ashes? The ninjas of the Kaguya family actually produced relics, which made Uchiha You very curious.
He secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely capture a few Kaguya ninjas and study the secrets of the Kaguya clan and the Corpse Bloodline.
After all, in the settings of novels about cultivating immortals, there is always a somewhat unclear relationship between relics and golden elixirs.
Although these two are completely different things in orthodox cultivation of immortals, they have both reached the ninja world, so who knows if they are related?
In short, it is worth Uchiha You's time to study it.
Even if the research finds that the two have nothing to do with each other, the Corpse Bone Vein itself is very worthy of research. This bloodline limit is completely different from ice escape, melting escape, and burning escape. Just like the Sharingan and the Byakugan, it comes directly from the body of the Otsutsuki clan.
The Otsutsuki clan is definitely a high-level life form that transcends the world. According to the Taoist understanding, this immortal race should either be classified as natural gods or celestial beings, or as extraterritorial demons.
In short, they are all existences on par with immortals, and are all excellent targets for possession.
Of course, if one could trace back his bloodline through research and return to his ancestral body to become an Otsutsuki, it would be more suitable for cultivating immortals than taking over another's body. Just like cultivating to become an immortal, it would be a super leap in the essence of life.
Thinking about his future goals, Uchiha You's movements became faster and faster.
He continued to spread the ashes evenly on the ground, turning the soil to mix the ashes thoroughly, and then used the Earth Spirit Earth Escape Technique when no one was paying attention to liquefy the mixed soil and then solidify it, making it into a waterproof hard lump.
Thanks to his efforts, by dawn of the fourth day, he had actually disposed of a small half of Kaguya Kaiji's ashes, and the third attack of the Kirigakure Ninja began.
A huge crowd of Kirigakure ninjas surrounded them from three sides at the same time. There were so many of them that they were crowded together.
This is not what a ninja is supposed to be like.
The Uchiha members of the Tiger Unit were a little overwhelmed when they saw so many Kirigakure ninjas. These boys who had experienced war also felt intimidated by the number of people.
A small group of people are afraid of a large group, and a large group of people makes people braver. This is human animal instinct.
But Uchiha You was not afraid at all.
Because of chakra, the ninja world suddenly jumped from the samurai era of cold weapons to the ninja era, and it is unknown how many forms of war have been crossed in between.
In the practice of warfare, the ninjas chose the team organization method and instinctively adopted the correct tactical principles of sparse formations and concealment priority.
But the ninjas had never personally experienced what a tragedy it would be to form a high-density formation with an absolute numerical advantage and attack a defender with powerful attack power.
Uchiha You had never experienced this before, but he understood it deeply.
Because on the banks of the Soum River on Blue Star, Dainiu and Faji suffered 60,000 tragic casualties in one day, proving to everyone on Blue Star the consequences of dense formations attacking dense firepower.
Seeing the appearance of the Kirigakure Ninja today, Uchiha You's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his mouth, but he was not happy.
The Kirigakure Ninjas were in such a posture that it was not a charge of hundreds of people, but thousands of people. If they did not defeat the Kirigakure Ninjas directly on the enemy's way, and were approached by enemies with more than ten times their number in close combat, the Uchiha of the Tiger Unit would surely die.
But if they were to intercept and shoot halfway, it would surely cause a massacre that would shock the ninja world. As the commander, Uchiha Yuu would become famous in the ninja world and a "big shot" that everyone knew.
Looking at the increasingly dense Kirigakure ninjas, Uchiha You felt more and more distressed. He even had the urge to look up to the sky and sigh: Oh heaven, how unkind of you are to me?
Of course Uchiha You wanted to be famous. He even took the lead in organizing the Tiger Corps. Of course he wanted to make achievements and then use them as capital to compete for the throne of clan leader.
But he didn't want to become so famous, as too much fame would actually be a bad thing.
When Uchiha You became a well-known figure in the ninja world, he told people that he just wanted to be the head of the Uchiha clan, and that he would only be the head of the clan for ten years before retiring. Would the Third Hokage believe it?
Of course the Third Hokage didn't believe it. He didn't even believe Hatake Sakumo, the most staunch believer in the Will of Fire, let alone Uchiha Yuu.
Fortunately, Uchiha You really... had ulterior motives.
When the Third Hokage group suspects you are an enemy, you'd better really be one, because when it comes to confirmed enemies, they will be full of concerns and dare not act easily.
Why would Danzo deal with Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Hizashi, and even Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan from other villages without any scruples?
Isn't it because they have a close relationship with Konoha Village that they will only try to refute with words instead of resisting with weapons?
Uchiha Yuu had long regarded Shimura Danzo and the Third Hokage as his enemies, and he was taught that only by attacking the enemy could he save himself. Therefore, if he found any signs of the Root following him, he would kill them directly with force.
[Wait, I don’t think I need to be afraid of Danzo anymore.]
Uchiha You suddenly found that he no longer had to worry about Shimura Danzo, and he was even qualified to make his attitude clear and publicly declare: I just look down on Danzo!
He had hidden himself before because he was not strong enough and Danzo Shimura had the ability to assassinate him silently.
But today's Uchiha You is no longer fragile. Maybe he cannot beat the Third Hokage, but what can he do to Danzo Shimura who only knows Wind Style? Since he killed Yahiko, does he have any outstanding achievements?
Yes, as long as the strength is strong enough and the attitude of opposition is more obvious, the less likely Danzo Shimura will dare to cause trouble.
In this way, the negative effects of fame no longer exist, and no matter how exaggerated Uchiha You's performance here is, there will only be benefits and no disadvantages.
Uchiha You, relieved of his worries, smiled and put the copper whistle into his mouth.
At this moment, Miwa Masayo suddenly appeared on his shoulder and said to him anxiously: "What should we do, meow? Yuu, is Kirigakure crazy, meow? How should we retreat, meow?"
Uchiha You held the copper whistle in his mouth, gently scratched the kitten's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Kirigakure is indeed crazy, but we don't need to retreat, absolutely not."
"Meow?"
"They have no idea what it means to rush over in such a dense formation. Let me teach them and the entire ninja world a lesson and make up for this shortcoming."
A sharp whistle sounded, and the sonorous rhythm conveyed a very simple tactical arrangement. Uchiha You asked all the teams to merge, form two rows of teams, and face the enemies in the left and right directions.
Therefore, Uchiha used Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu to attack within 150 to 300 meters. Even if someone rushed over, he didn't need to care and left it to the team captain to handle.
The attack can only be stopped when the enemy retreats or when a ninja of Jonin or above attacks.
There was a huge flaw in the tactics arranged by Uchiha You. Because it was too obvious, the squad leaders had to use whistles to ask: "What should we do in the center of the formation, facing the main force of the enemy?"
Uchiha You also replied with a whistle: "I'll take care of it."
…
Driven by the three major ninja clans behind them, the first wave of Kirigakure ninjas began to charge with gnashing teeth and cursing.
As they ran, they instinctively tried their best to increase the distance between each other, but the number of 1,500 people was too large, and even though they tried their best to pull, the distance between people was no more than three meters.
When they approached to 500 meters, the team leaders blew their whistles, and the Uchiha Genin began to make hand seals in unison, using the same steps to perform Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu.
This C-rank ninjutsu is known as the "double useless fire jutsu" along with the Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, and it is said that it has never hit the enemy.
The Uchiha ninja is the ninja who is best at fire jutsu. It can be said that the four fire jutsu that every formal ninja has mastered must include Great Fireball and Housen Fire.
Their application of the Fireball Technique is mainly auxiliary. For example, when one round of attack is ineffective, they will connect with the next round of attack during the interval of battle, or block the enemy's line of sight, and use the cover of the Fireball to perform the Instant Body Technique, Transformation Technique, or move position to change tactics.
The usage of Fengxian Fire is even more useless. When the two sides are in a standoff and cannot find the opponent's weakness, Fengxian Fire is used to force the opponent to move.
When you move, there will definitely be flaws, and then you can endure and attack the enemy's flaws.
The weakness of these two techniques is speed. The speed of the flame flying is too slow, and it is impossible to catch up with the ninja, even if it is a surprise attack.
The sound and light effects of these two techniques are so strong that no matter how suddenly they are used, the ninja will discover them in time and easily dodge them.
But it must be realized that the Fireball and the Phoenix Fire can kill people.
Moreover, both of these two techniques are high-powered fire-based ninjutsu that can kill on contact, and are far more deadly than explosive ninjutsu such as Fire Style: Fire Bullet.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the enemy to dodge or perform ninjutsu to resist immediately when seeing these two techniques.
Uchiha You realized very early that if the density of Fire Style: Phoenix Fire reached a level that could not be avoided, would it undergo a qualitative change and become the Maxim of Ninjutsu?
When the Kirigakure ninjas saw bright and beautiful flames shaped like peacock's tail feathers rising on the opposite side, they laughed loudly. Who could not recognize this useless fire jutsu?
As long as I dodge, dodge...
The Kirigakure ninjas in the first row suddenly realized that there were too many Phoenix Fires in front of them, and moving left, right, and forward would only result in them bumping into another flame.
The Kirigakure ninjas naturally retreated, but were horrified to find that they had bumped into their companions behind them, and they had no room to dodge at all.
The ninjutsu, which seemed to pose no threat, was getting closer and closer. The Kirigakure ninjas no longer felt relaxed. They stopped, quickly formed hand seals, and then spit out water from their mouths.
Water Style: Water Rush
Water Style: Water Bullet
Water Style: Water Fang Bullet
Water Style: Water Wave
Various low-level water-based ninjutsu met the flying and falling flames. The two ninjutsu collided head-on, and the result was naturally that the water-based ninjutsu won a great victory, extinguishing the oncoming flames.
But no Mist Ninja was happy, because they found that water jutsu could only extinguish a few flames it touched, and this number was insignificant compared to the flying Phoenix Fire in the sky.
The biggest feature of the Impatiens Fire is the large number of flames. As long as the caster is willing to spend the chakra, it is not difficult to blow out dozens of flames in one breath.
If you want to stop the fire attack, you must continuously use water jutsu to block the endless flames. The chakra consumption of both sides is very different.
Moreover, the members of the Tiger Force are of uniform quality. All of them are Uchiha ninjas who have opened the Sharingan. They are absolutely elite.
The Kirigakure ninjas are a group of driven-out minor ninja clans and civilian ninjas. Their skills are not only very low, but also uneven.
Some Kirigakure ninjas can easily use water-style ninjutsu continuously, but some can only use 2 to 3 ninjutsu before their chakra runs out and they become weak to continue.
Moreover, the Kirigakure ninjas lack organization and leadership. Not only can they not use water-style ninjutsu in a unified manner, they can't even launch a joint counterattack.
After the first round of water jutsu, chaos broke out on the side of the Kirigakure ninjas. Some of them gave up on ninjutsu and started rushing forward. The Fengxianhuo passed through the gaps in water jutsu created by them and landed among the Kirigakure ninjas.
Suddenly, the screams of the Kirigakure ninja resounded through the sky.
The palm-sized Fengxian Fire has different colors from the inside to the outside, because its core temperature is extremely high and its outer temperature is relatively low. When Fengxian Fire falls on a person's body, the high temperature in the center will quickly burn through the clothes, and the scorched skin and flesh will sizzle.
If the flame cannot be extinguished in time, the burning area will expand rapidly, causing extensive burns on human skin, which can easily cause fatal dehydration and may also lead to burn shock.
When the screams rang out, the Kirigakure ninjas were in complete chaos. Some used offensive water ninjutsu towards the village, some used the Kirigakure technique to block their vision, and some used defensive water ninjutsu to create a water barrier.
More ninjas rushed forward desperately, thinking that as long as they rushed into the Konoha ninjas, they would be able to avoid the danger of being covered by the Fengxian Fire.
All in all, it was a complete mess.
The result of the chaos was that the water escape became more disordered, with fewer flames of the Fengxian Fire being intercepted and extinguished, and more flames fell on the crowd, causing greater casualties.
The Kirigakure Ninja was thus trapped in a vicious cycle from which they could not extricate themselves.
