Uchiha You pondered for a while and made up his mind.
He first ordered: "He Si, you report our intelligence to the Konoha Ninja Army."
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to deliver the information immediately."
Uchiha and Tsukasa immediately stood up and went to arrange for the ninja to send the message.
Uchiha You looked at Uchiha Shigenobu and ordered, "Shigenobu, your first squadron will disperse and patrol the five sea areas where battles took place again."
"I'll arrange it right away."
Before Uchiha Shigenobu could leave, Uchiha You grabbed him and told him seriously: "You must emphasize to everyone that this is an investigation, not a fight to the death."
"When you encounter a Kirigakure ninja, you should try to test them. If they are weak, annihilate them. If they are strong, retreat immediately and fight back after gathering enough companions."
Uchiha Shigenobu nodded heavily and replied, "I remember, Brother You."
After sending off the first squadron, Uchiha You looked at Uchiha Tadamichi and ordered: "Tadamichi, all members of your second squadron will assemble and sweep back and forth along this line to strangle all the Kirigakure ninjas in this area."
Uchiha Tadamichi answered without hesitation: "Yes."
"Remember, the Second Squadron is only qualified, so its main task is to support the First Squadron's detachment and join forces with them to encircle and kill those powerful Mist Ninjas."
"If you encounter a strong bloodline limit ninja, or a powerful Kage-level ninja, then..."
Uchiha Tadamichi immediately replied: "I will retreat immediately."
Uchiha You smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Very good, with your guarantee, I feel relieved."
Then he said loudly to all the Uchiha ninjas: "This sudden action by the Kirigakure ninjas may be the prelude to a new round of large-scale attacks."
"The current situation is that the ninjas of my Konoha Village are scattered in the Land of Hot Springs and on the sea. It takes time to gather together, so we have no reinforcements. We are even the reinforcements for other Konoha ninjas."
"We are Konoha's support against Kirigakure's attack. We must not lose our heads and fight the enemy to the death. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
As the first squadron of the Tiger Force set out to attack, the entire sea area suddenly became lively. This squadron, composed of members of the first generation of Tiger Force as its backbone, had an exaggerated psychological advantage when facing the Kirigakure ninjas, and even an overwhelming tactical advantage.
Even though the sea is the home ground of the Kirigakure Ninja, they were killed in large numbers by the Tiger Unit, and the sea was dyed red with blood.
Soon, the Hyuga clan ninjas who served as the vanguard noticed the abnormality in the northern waters.
Kaguya Yoshi felt threatened as soon as he received the intelligence. After a brief consideration, he ordered: "Kaguya Noboru, you take your people and continue to clean up the Konoha ninjas. I will go to the north to kill these rats."
Kaguya Noboru said with a smile: "Master Patriarch, why don't you let me go to the north? It's better for you to take charge of the operation here."
Kaguya nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, okay. Let's do it."
Kaguya Noboru's smile instantly froze: "Ah?"
The Kaguya clan leader smiled brightly. He patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "Since it is you, Kaguya Noboru, who asked, I can't refuse, right?"
"Take your people and go."
After Kaguya Noboru and his men left, Kaguya Yoshi's smile became even brighter. He took his trusted tribesmen and continued to attack towards the Kingdom of Hot Springs.
But the attack route he chose began to shift significantly to the left, apparently in an attempt to avoid defeat in the north and avoid as much as possible the huge threat that would follow.
What he did was too obvious. Although the members of the Hyuga clan were simple-minded, they were also experienced ninjas. Many people saw it, and they were naturally very surprised.
Kaguya's confidant couldn't help but ask: "Master, there aren't many Konoha ninjas in the north. Is it really that dangerous?"
Kaguya's face was full of smiles, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes. He said, "It is true that there are not many people, but the current ninja world is no longer judged by the number of people."
"Tell me, why do we have to form a team of four now?"
"Because Konoha's Uchiha Tiger Force is a four-man team, its attack power is indeed stronger, and its flexibility has not decreased."
"That's right. The Konoha ninjas who killed our Kirigakure ninjas in the northern sea were all masters of Fire Style. Who do you think they were?"
"Huh? Uchiha's Tiger Unit... Impossible?"
"Before I received the intelligence, I had always thought that the Tiger Force, as the strongest force among the Konoha ninjas, must be assembled in the core camp of Konoha and on standby. Just like the blasting force of the Hidden Rock Village, it is a reserve force and a trump card that will not be easily deployed."
"Who else could have used Fire Style to fight against us Mist Ninjas in the sea, except for the Uchiha Tiger Force?"
Kaguya smiled and asked, "It can't be the Sarutobi ninja from the Third Hokage's family, right?"
His confidant immediately ruled out this possibility: "This is impossible. The Sarutobi clan ninjas never go to the sea. They have never even appeared near the east coast."
"So, the North is really the Tiger Force of Konoha?"
"Although it is incredible, since Konoha Village sent the Uchiha who are good at fire escape to the Land of Hot Springs, it is not impossible to further send them to the sea to station them."
Kaguya Ninja took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Kaguya Noboru is dead."
Kaguya Yoshi said: "That's not necessarily the case. If he is alert enough and can find out in time that the opponent is the Uchiha Tiger Squadron, he will have a chance to escape back..."
"Oh, no, no, no, he won't come back, will he?"
The murderous intent in Kaguya's eyes clearly showed that if he came back, she would kill him.
The clan leader's trusted ninja looked at the clan leader's smile, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He said tremblingly: "Yes, he will definitely not come back."
Kaguya laughed and said with satisfaction: "You are right."
"Let's go. It's not easy here either. In the worst case scenario, we might run into Orochimaru, the leader of Konoha's three ninjas. Even I would have to do my best to save my life then."
Kaguya's words sounded heroic and inspiring, but he knew in his heart that Orochimaru would not show up.
Orochimaru is an excellent commander. A qualified commander would not run to the front line to collect first-hand intelligence when the whole line is on alert and give up his responsibility of coordinating the overall situation.
Because the attack was launched suddenly, all the Konoha ninjas on the sea were caught off guard and disorganized. Only the Tiger Unit of the Uchiha Clan showed strong organization.
The danger was incalculable, considering the Tigers' miraculous performance in the war four and a half months earlier.
Kaguya didn't know that his caution was correct, but he still didn't anticipate the level of danger posed by the Tiger Force.
Uchiha You's positioning of the Tiger Unit he released was not to destroy the enemy's combat effectiveness, but his neural network, to perceive battlefield intelligence for him and eliminate weak targets that did not require his attention.
When a powerful group of Kaguya ninjas broke into this network, the Tiger Unit suddenly retreated as if they were electrocuted because of Uchiha Yu's instructions. In a very short time, the information about the appearance of the Kaguya clan was passed to Uchiha Yu.
However, this time the electric shock did not seem to retract so smoothly, and he was actually bitten by the Mist Ninja.
Unhappy Uchiha You asked: "17 Uchiha ninjas were injured. The entire team was injured. What's going on?"
Uchiha Shigenobu, who returned with the intelligence, explained the process of the battle in detail. It turned out that when Ziai was besieging a group of Mist Ninjas, they were ambushed by Kaguya Ninjas in the thick fog.
"We didn't expect that this group of Kaguya ninjas would rush up recklessly, disrupting our team unexpectedly and causing a melee."
Uchiha You interrupted Shigenobu and asked, "Even in the Mist Hidden Technique, even if the formation was disrupted, the entire squad should not be dragged to death. Didn't you follow the tactical principles and order the squad to disperse in small groups?"
Uchiha Shigenobu replied hesitantly: "I issued the order to disperse and then reunite, but the team members did not execute it."
Uchiha You's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and he asked sternly: "Who? Who didn't follow your orders?"
His eyes scared Uchiha Shigenobu, but this guy just stood there and said nothing.
Uchiha You laughed angrily. He stood up, looked down at Uchiha Shigenobu, and said softly: "Do you think you can protect this brother if you don't say it? Wrong! You can't even protect yourself."
Uchiha You's eyes were as sharp as knives, and his eyes instantly turned into three-magatama Sharingan. The huge pupil power destroyed Shigenobu's two-magatama Sharingan with just one charge, turning him into a dull puppet.
He asked again: "Who refused to carry out the order?"
Shigenobu, stunned, could not help but answer, "Yes... the captain of the fourth team... the 14th... squad, Uchiha... Goro."
"Are you back?"
"He's...back. He's...very brave...but...he's...seriously...injured..."
Uchiha You couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that after being hypnotized, Uchiha Shigenobu would still subconsciously want to protect his brother and explain a few words for him.
He smiled coldly and said, "You are really a good brother, but what's the use?"
"He Si!"
"exist."
"Go and restrain Uchiha Goro. Let the fourth squad assemble. The injured must be carried over. Also, blow the assembly whistle and gather all the Tiger Squad members on standby."
"yes."
But after receiving the order, Uchiha and Si did not leave immediately, but asked nervously: "Brother You, how are you going to deal with them?"
Uchiha You's sharp eyes were fixed on He Si, making him tremble all over. He did not dare to delay any longer and quickly left to carry out Uchiha You's orders.
After the fourth team gathered, Uchiha You saw that all members of the team were wounded. The worst injured was Uchiha Goro who was tied to a stretcher. He was wrapped like a mummy, with only one eye exposed.
The lightly wounded soldiers tried hard to stand in line, while the two seriously wounded soldiers could only lie on stretchers.
But this miserable scene had no effect on Uchiha You. He glanced at everyone coldly, and after confirming that everyone was present, he asked, "After Uchiha Goro ignored the order of squadron leader Uchiha Shigenobu, what were the other three captains doing? What were the squad leaders doing?"
The captain of the first squad stepped forward and answered loudly: "Report! We, we think we can win, so we stay and continue fighting!"
Uchiha You asked: "What's the result?"
The captain's head was still held high, but his voice dropped: "...Lost."
Uchiha You asked again: "According to the military orders of the Tiger Unit, what are the consequences of disobeying orders in battle? Do you know all of them?"
The captain swallowed and replied in a trembling voice: "I know! Disobeying orders in battle will result in the death penalty."
"Very good." Uchiha You nodded and announced coldly: "Team leader Uchiha Goro, who took the lead in disobeying the commander's orders and caused a bad influence, is sentenced to death and executed immediately!"
Uchiha Shigenobu and Uchiha Kazushi beside them were all horrified and exclaimed, "Brother You!"
Uchiha You pointed at all the other Uchiha and said to the 18-year-old Uchiha: "Look at the eyes of those brothers, rebellious, arrogant, unconvinced, and provocative... Ha, where is the discipline of the study group? Where is the discipline of the Tiger Unit?"
"If violating military discipline that requires the death penalty can actually avoid death, where is the discipline?"
"Without discipline, how can the Tiger Force be so powerful? Just relying on the two Magatama Sharingan of you guys? Do these hundreds of Uchiha brothers want to survive this war? Dream on!"
"It's better for me to execute one person now than to be killed by hundreds of enemies!"
Uchiha You explained, and then continued to announce: "The captain of the fourth division and the three squadron captains also subjectively intended to disobey orders, but objectively they were guilty of following the crime. The four captains will be removed from their posts and transferred to the third squadron to serve."
"The 12 members obeyed the orders of their squad leader and fought bravely. They did nothing wrong. The four squads each nominated their own squad leader, and the missing members were drawn from the third squadron."
"As for the selection of the team leader, let's talk about it after you return from your injuries."
Uchiha You looked at Uchiha Shigenobu and asked, "Are you going to kill him or am I going to do it?"
At this point, everyone understood that Uchiha You's will was firm and unshakable, and no one dared to persuade him to change his decision.
Uchiha Shigenobu took several deep breaths before he stepped forward and said, "Please leave it to me."
Uchiha You nodded and said sternly, "Be quick and don't let him suffer too much."
"By the way, Kazushi, remember to write a report saying that he died in a battle with the Kaguya clan ninjas."
"This way he won't have a stigma and it won't affect his family."
After saying a few more points in a long-winded manner, Uchiha You confirmed that there was nothing to add and left without looking back.
He always felt like he was a time traveler and wasn't close to his relatives in the Uchiha Clan.
But even if humans use a cup for a long time, they will develop a feeling of reluctance to part with it, let alone humans?
He had been with Uchiha Goro for several months and had taught him carefully for several months, so naturally they developed feelings for each other.
He knew that he could let Goro go with just a few words, and no one in the Tiger Corps would think it was wrong, and they would even become closer to him, Uchiha Yuu.
But he also knew that if he let Uchiha Goro go, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the Tiger Unit would collapse from the root.
The strength of the Tiger Force is based on tactics, and the basis for the execution of tactics is discipline.
Today was the first time that disobedience occurred on the battlefield, which almost led to the destruction of the entire Fourth Squad. The importance of discipline was fully revealed.
Therefore, Uchiha Goro must die, no room for negotiation.
For the future of the Tiger Force, Uchiha You ordered the execution of Uchiha Goro who disobeyed orders on the battlefield. He could understand it rationally, but he found it difficult to accept it emotionally.
This was the first time he executed one of his own. He was so depressed that he even felt like vomiting.
The long-lost heart-shaped out-of-control appeared. The Heart Monkey, Spleen Pig, Lung Raccoon, and the fourth heart-shaped that had not yet taken shape were all rioting. Poor hole-shaped octopus Xiao Ke was squeezed by the four suddenly swelled monsters and couldn't breathe.
Especially the fourth heart shape is still a mystery. The mutation turned it into a black thundercloud with flashing lightning. It not only squeezed Xiao Ke everywhere, but also discharged electricity from time to time to hit the little octopus.
Uchiha You noticed the changes in his mind, but he knew that the problem now was with himself. It was not suitable to suppress it internally at this time, because the efficiency of suppression would be too low if the source of the heart-shaped abnormality was not solved.
The best way is to vent, to kill someone, to resolve the root cause of your depression, and then you can easily handle the four heart shapes.
So Uchiha You took his anger out on others and decided to kill the Kaguya ninja who caused this incident.
[It's all your fault that I'm so unhappy. Go to hell. ]
[Wait, Miwa Masayo is still sleeping soundly, how should I cover it up? ]
[Hahaha, I remember now. Miwa Masayo can't follow me, but I can also not let the Tiger Unit follow me. I can go by myself! ]
[Yes, I was alone, without any Konoha ninjas watching, and I just had to kill all the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village on the vast ocean, and then I would leave them ashes. Who knows how I killed them?]
【That’s it! 】
After thinking it through, Uchiha You no longer hesitated. He used all his strength to perform the Instant Body Technique and disappeared in front of people. Soon he appeared above the sea. After determining the direction, he quickly moved towards the southeast.
His physical fitness at this time was incredibly strong, and he ran at an astonishing speed. The strong wind brought by his body and the splashes caused by his feet cut through the waves on the sea, drawing a straight water line.
When the island where the Tiger Corps was stationed disappeared from sight, Uchiha You no longer concealed his practice of fairy arts. The surging natural energy rolled out from his meridians, and in turn wrapped around the chakra in his body cells, making him invisible in the sense of chakra.
The natural energy of the wind spirit transformed into six pairs of invisible wind wings behind him, and the natural energy of the fire spirit attached to them. The wind and fire worked together to drive the airflow, helping Uchiha You to increase his speed dramatically.
The natural energy of the Thunder Spirit communicates between heaven and earth, condensing thunder energy within a perceptible range and giving birth to a thunderstorm.
The natural energy of earth spirits strengthens the body, increasing its strength and resilience.
Uchiha You, with his full strength unleashed, was like an orange fireball, moving at high speed close to the sea surface, leaving a horrible scar on the ocean.
