On the third day after the duel, news suddenly came from the front line that the Senju clan was gathering a large number of its main forces.
According to intelligence, a figure suspected to be Senju Hashirama appeared on the main battlefield.
After confirming the news, Uchiha Tajima immediately made a decision and decided to take the risk and go to the battlefield in person.
Of course, he wouldn't choose to go alone.
Sensing that a decisive battle was approaching, Tajima directly mobilized most of the remaining troops in the clan.
During the Warring States Period, the prosperity of each clan was far beyond what it was during the village period.
Take the current Uchiha clan for example. It has established four major legions under its command, each responsible for dealing with enemies from various directions.
Within the clan alone, the number of resident shinobi exceeds 800, and the number of ninjas in each major legion is more than a thousand.
Kyosuke made a rough calculation and found that the number of ninjas in the entire clan was at least over five thousand.
It cannot be compared with the major ninja villages in later generations, which often sent tens of thousands of ninjas to participate in wars. At least they have no problem destroying ordinary small countries.
However, the problem is not limited to the Senju clan.
News came from the Southern Division that the Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi clans began to gather frantically, as if they were ready to fight the Uchiha to the death.
The division commander Uchiha Rei sent a letter asking for help, hoping that the clan would send more people, but it was ignored by Tajima.
"If we don't have the necessary people, we can't defend ourselves and will be dragged to death by the enemy even at the cost of our lives."
I heard that on the day he received the reply, Uchiha Rei tore up the letter in front of everyone and cursed Uchiha Tajima as a stupid idiot.
This information was very confidential, and Kyosuke only learned about it through Izuna's casual chat.
Looking at the empty streets, he couldn't help but sigh.
After three days of hard work, Kyosuke basically mastered the use of the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), but the price he paid was that he felt sore all over and large areas of bruises began to appear in certain parts of his body.
During this period, Uchiha Madara sternly warned him that forcibly using the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) when his physical strength was not up to standard was equivalent to chronic suicide.
The implication was to advise him to give up his research.
Kyosuke responded with one sentence: "On the battlefield, it's a life-and-death struggle. If I can't use it at the critical moment, I'm afraid I won't live to see the day of my chronic suicide."
Faced with Kyosuke's sharp words, the taciturn Uchiha Madara had no way to respond.
In a fit of rage, he hadn't shown up in front of Kyosuke for three days.
"Like a child," he commented.
Tajima was unwilling to pay attention to the battlefield in the south, but who was Uchiha Rei? He was the ruthless man who competed with him for the position of clan leader.
Not long after the second letter arrived, news came that the stationed legion had set out secretly.
When Tajima learned about the situation, he was so angry that he started cursing in front of everyone.
The problem is that Uchiha Rei can't do anything to him, and conversely, Tajima can't deal with the gray-haired old man.
The large-scale participation of the legion in the war has caused the clan's defense capabilities to become increasingly weak.
"If an enemy attacks, the history of the ninja world might be rewritten."
It was originally just a joke, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
A year ago, the team successfully broke into the enemy's rear and intercepted the descendants of the three clans who were on the move.
It can be said that this was a very successful surprise attack that wiped out the entire clan.
If you say that the enemy does not hate you, I am afraid no one will choose to believe it.
Besides, the decisive battle between Uchiha and Senju would never happen at this time.
Uchiha Madara is about to turn 11 years old, and the day when he meets Senju Hashirama is not far away.
At that time, Madara should have been on the battlefield, and it seemed that the battle situation had not yet reached a critical point.
In other words, the two clans should not have engaged in large-scale fighting at this time.
"Assuming that the Senju clan is setting this up on purpose, then their purpose..." Looking at the empty streets, Kyosuke seemed to understand.
The Senju were not looking for a decisive battle, they were trying to lure Uchiha Tajima to the battlefield.
The Southern Division and the three clans attacked almost at the same time. Although there was no substantial evidence, his intuition told him that there must be a corresponding connection between the two.
"Senju Clan layout…"
"The three clans gather..."
"Senju...Nara...attack and kill..."
Not good!
Kyosuke stood up with a serious expression, and headed straight for the clan residence.
Whether it is true or not, they must make preparations.
If unfortunately what I said comes true, it will be too late to react then.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
...
Uchiha clan territory, southern entrance.
Trucks were parked on the roadside, being inspected by the security team.
"Thank you for your hard work." The head of the convoy was an old acquaintance who had been transporting goods for decades, so the escort team chose to let them go without any criticism.
"Wait!" Suddenly, the captain of the guard stopped the convoy.
"We've received an order from above to intensify the investigation." The captain seemed somewhat helpless when he spoke.
I don't know what's wrong with the young patriarch; he actually said that the enemy might sneak in.
Sneak into the Uchiha clan territory?
No one has ever achieved such a feat in thousands of years.
In his opinion, it might just be a child who wants to show off his power. Unfortunately, it is always the lower class people like them who suffer.
Just as the captain was about to say something, he suddenly felt a strong sense of palpitations rising from the bottom of his heart.
Before he could react, the man found that he had lost control of his body.
"But they are all old acquaintances. If there is any problem, we will starve to death." The captain of the guard smiled and waved his hand, signaling his men to let them pass quickly.
"No, there's something wrong with them!!!" Seeing his body moving out of control, he almost had the urge to end his life.
Unfortunately, he seemed like a bystander at the moment and had no way to control his body.
In the end, they could only watch the problematic convoy stagger into the clan.
"This feeling is right, it's the Yamanaka: Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Transfer Technique)!"
"What do they want to do?!"
The poor captain of the guard "personally" escorted the convoy all the way west. Looking at the direction of travel, it turned out to be the place where the clan members lived in a relatively concentrated area.
Most of the ninjas went to the battlefield, and only a group of the elderly, the weak, women and children remained in the residence. No matter how stupid he was, he could understand the purpose of the invaders.
"Damn it! Move your body!" The captain of the guard shouted desperately, but in front of the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, his resistance was as childish and ridiculous as a child.
Soon, the convoy went deep into the heart of the clan.
Looking at the lively children on both sides of the street, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
"We're almost there." Suddenly, a murderous murmur came from behind.
Not far ahead is the Uchiha Academy (Uchiha clan's academy) that has been passed down from generation to generation.
If you want to completely eradicate the target, choosing to start from there is the best option.
"Damn Uchiha, you will pay the price today."
Listening to the laughter of children around them, the invaders removed their disguises and rushed into the quaint Uchiha Academy.
What appeared before him was not the target of the mission, but a group of vivid clones and...
The entire school was covered with burning explosive tags.
Boom!
