Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of obeying the Hokage's edict.

Although the Uchiha Fire Gate rejected the edict on the grounds of "insufficient reasons" and asked the Hokage to provide the necessary explanation for the content of the edict, it is obvious that the Uchiha, who have always acted wantonly, did not take the edict into consideration from the beginning.

Keep an eye on the follow-up.

Although the Hokage's requirement is "Don't start provocations without permission", as long as you win alone, everything will just pass by with a smile and three drinks as a penalty.

In the final analysis, it is because Konoha's governing system adopts the "Jōnin Republican Council". In theory, a Jonin is the highest professional title in the Ninja Village, including the Hokage, who is also a Jonin, and every Jonin has the right to vote.

The voting rights for the Hokage position and the impeachment power to remove the Hokage. In order to better maintain the operation of the Ninja Village, the Jonin transferred part of their power to the Ninja Village, and selected among the Jonin to control this part of the power.

.However, this power only exists in theory. In fact, including the appointment of the second generation and the third generation, they are not directly nominated by the Jonin Council, but adopt a method similar to the designated successor to determine the successor Hokage.

The Hokage election system has been destroyed by facts, and the election terms and jounin rights have been shelved. Naturally, the ninja clan, which has contributed the vast majority of jounin seats, will not be happy. In the implementation of the Ninja Village decision-making, the ninja clan, in order to safeguard their own interests, will

Not everyone would dare to go head-to-head with the Hokage clan like the Uchiha clan, but it is commonplace to be obedient and submissive.

As the most powerful family in Konoha and even the ninja world, Uchiha can only obey the Hokage obediently.

"Strike first is the strongest!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who led the Ninja Army organized in four detachments, quickly marched towards the northern border of the Land of Grass. Although his chest was filled with thunder and his face was as flat as a lake, this was the first time that he led the Ninja Army alone on an expedition. Although Uchiha

Huomen also imparted the experience and key points of ninja combat without hesitation, but it still needs practice to connect theory with practice.

The object of practice is naturally the incoming Iwagakure advance force. In order to annihilate them all in one fell swoop, two of the four detachments deployed by Uchiha Tokumitsu are elite ninja troops composed of Uchiha family ninjas, and the other detachment is also a border defense force.

His old team has arranged for the Uchiha clan and ninjas who are close to the ninja clan to infiltrate the sand, and has firmly controlled the detachment; the last detachment is the support detachment, responsible for logistical supplies, field medical and other routine work.

These four detachments totaled more than 400 people, all of whom were chunin, and there were six Hyuga ninjas who took turns turning on Byakugan reconnaissance along the way to prevent the ninja army's actions from being discovered by others.

"Commander Tokumitsu, there are still about 20 kilometers to reach the border mountain town! It is expected to take 20 minutes!" Toshiki Hyuga, who is in charge of reconnaissance, reported to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Although usually in the village, the two wealthy ninja clans, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, often have conflicts and frictions, but now on the battlefield, they are comrades who rely on life and death, so naturally they will not be careless.

"Yes!" Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded and said to Uchiha Nobuhiko, the guard class sergeant next to him: "Nobuhiko, nobuhiko, pass the order and take cover on the spot."

Uchiha Nobuhiko nodded calmly, took out a whistle with his right hand and put it in his mouth.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

A short and rapid whistle sounded, and after a while, there was a burst of bird song all around the forest, and each detachment of ninja troops completed their concealment.

At this time, the only ones still showing up in the forest were Uchiha Tokumitsu and the two Uchiha guard squads and two Hyuga reconnaissance squads.

Uchiha Tokko looked around and saw that the concealment of each team was pretty good, at least there were no low-level mistakes like looking up and down.

"Kensuke Jounin, Seiji Jounin." Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his eyes to Uchiha Kensuke and Hinata Seiji among the accompanying ninjas, "I now order you to lead your class of ninjas as an advance detachment to the border mountain city for close reconnaissance. If

If the city is safe, a notification will be sent quickly, and if there is any abnormality, personnel will be sent back here to report."

"As you command!"

According to the intelligence stolen by the Ninja Cat Clan, about 200 of the three thousand ninja troops assembled in Iwagakure Village were transferred to the vanguard. Their combat purpose was to serve as the vanguard of Iwagakure, open up marching roads, and seize the opportunity.

A mountain town on the border of the Land of Grass.

According to the marching speed of the Iwagakure advance force and the Iwagakure main formation, there is about half a day's travel time difference. In other words, the ninja army led by Uchiha Tokimitsu must quickly annihilate the Iwagakure advance force and evacuate in time within this period of time.

.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to deploy the Ninja Army fifteen kilometers away from the border mountain city, wait for Iwagakure to enter the city, and then lurk within three kilometers to launch the attack. Although this will consume more time to lurk and advance, but

The gradually tightening encirclement can better cut off the information transmission of Iwagakure's advance troops, so as to achieve the purpose of silently fighting the annihilation war.

The forest was quiet, and the Konoha Ninja Army was patiently lurking around. Although Uchiha Tokko knew that nothing could be done at this time, he was still a little nervous.

At this time, three high-pitched eagle calls came from the direction of the mountain city.

"Commander Tokimitsu, Yamashiro is confirmed to be safe!" Uchiha Nobuhiko listened carefully and checked the translation according to the Herald Eagle code.

"Okay!" Uchiha Tokko nodded, "detachment captains, assemble!"

"Shua——"

Four figures flashed out of the forest, kneeling on one knee in front of Uchiha Tokko.

"Commander Deguang, please give me instructions!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath, "The first Uchiha detachment is going to the east of the mountain city to lurk, and the first border defense detachment is going to the west of the mountain city to lurk!"

"yes!"

The two detachment leaders spoke various code words, and then the corresponding ninjas quickly got up and headed to the hiding place.

"The sealing team of the support detachment is preparing to clear the barrier and officially perform the spell after Iwagakure's granite head enters the city! The medical team has set up an emergency medical point on the spot and is ready for rescue!"

"yes!"

"The second Uchiha detachment, follow me to the south of the mountain city to lurk!"

"As you command!"

All deployments are as planned before going into battle.

Looking around, everyone looked excited, nervous, or indifferent. The war was about to begin. Faced with life and death, no one could really remain calm.

"Gentlemen..." Uchiha Tokko paused, "I wish you victory!"

"Hai!"

…

The time of lurking and waiting is always difficult, especially when you are hiding in a den.

Uchiha Tokumitsu, like his subordinate Ninja Army, suppressed their inner frenzy and quietly waited for Iwagakure's arrival.

"Commander Tokumitsu, send the order from ahead, Iwagakure is here!" Hinata Toshiki next to him stared with his eyes, paying attention to the order gestures ahead.

Since it was still fifteen kilometers away from the city, the Byakugan could not observe directly, so the approaching reconnaissance and lurking troops relied on multiple Hyuga ninjas to use the Byakugan to pass on information one after another.

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Uchiha Tokumitsu licked his lips and forcibly controlled the urge to open his Sharingan.

"Have everyone in Iwagakure entered the city?"

"The front line is checking and confirming."

"Okay." Uchiha Tokumitsu simply replied.

"Iwagakure has entered the city! It is confirmed that there are no special people accompanying the army! And the city walls have not yet been fortified!" Hyuga Toshiki reported the first-line intelligence.

"Send the order! All units will lurk and advance twelve kilometers in ten minutes, and wait for my order to launch an attack!" Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Uchiha Nobuhiko.

"yes!"

The guard squad dispersed and sneaked to inform the troops in the east of the city and the troops in the west of the city. After a while, the sound of insects came back.

"Commander De Guang, all ministries have received the notice!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu took out his pocket watch and saw that the time was right.

"Advance stealthily!"

"yes!"

"Is the Clearance Barrier ready?"

"Commander Deguang, the sealing squad is ready!"

"Okay, go to the predetermined location and wait for my order!"

"yes!"

"Where's the medical class?"

"Command by De Guang, the medical team's field hospital has been set up and all personnel are in place, and the rescue team is also ready."

"good!"

As the various units lurked forward, the sounds of insects came and went, and code words came and went to communicate information with each other.

"Commander Tokimitsu, all units have arrived at the preset location." Uchiha Nobuhiko, who had been listening carefully, analyzed the insect code and said.

"Okay!" Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sharingan could no longer be suppressed, and three magatama emerged from his pupils, spinning faster and faster.

The world of the Sharingan was a blood-red scene. At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was extremely manic and needed a bloody battle to vent his anger.

"Attack in ten minutes!" Uchiha Tokumitsu took another deep breath and began to lurk towards the preset location.

"yes!"

…

An eagle shot out of the grass into the sky like a sharp arrow, its rapid chirping startling the sky and stopping the clouds.

"attack!"

Uchiha Tokko was the first to jump up from his hiding position and rush to the mall three kilometers away.

"Uchiha! Wansheng!"

The ninjas of the second Uchiha detachment shouted together and stood up to charge.

Uchiha Nobuhiko, who was the guard class's ninja, followed closely beside Uchiha Tokumitsu with a whistle in his mouth.
