Konoha's New Third Hokage

The Sunagakure ninja troops are advancing very smoothly. Although the enemy's resistance gradually becomes stronger as the distance goes deeper, Chiyo and others think it is a normal phenomenon. No matter how they assist the disengagement, after the defense range is reduced, it will definitely will be strengthened.

Uchiha Mirror also guessed that if it went too smoothly, it might still make the opponent suspicious, so he adjusted his defense level according to the enemy's advancing speed and combat power, but the Sunagakure ninja did not notice it.

After two weeks, the Sunagakure ninja troops have entered the hinterland of Kawa no Kuni, and are only one step away from the strategically important Kawa no Kawa Castle, and this is the place chosen by Uchiha Kagami for the decisive battle.Once this place was captured by the enemy, Sunagakure Ninja Village would be completely out of trouble. Relying on this place to advance or retreat, he knew that Chiyo would not be able to give up here.

Just as Uchiha Kagami thought, Chiyo had no reason to let go of this strategic location. She learned from the intelligence the current defense situation of Konoha ninjas, and she also understood where the other party's focus was.For her, if she had not won Kawazhi City, her current advantage would still be lost, but with Kawazhi City it would be different.

Both sides unanimously regarded this place as the place for the decisive battle. Chiyo was in high spirits, while Uchiha Kagami looked solemn. Their thoughts were different due to the situation. In any case, the day of the decisive battle was slowly approaching.

When Uchiha Kagami got the Sunagakure ninja troops and came near Kawano Castle, he felt a little relieved, because the enemy had entered the pit, and all that was left was to fill it.

"Now is the time to fight the enemy to the death. I know that many people are afraid and angry because of our retreat these days. Due to various considerations, I have to shrink the defense line, but now we have no way out. , once we lose the Castle of Kawakawa, it will be our failure, we will live up to the expectations of Lord Hokage, and it will also cause a setback to the just war of the entire ninja world." At the combat meeting, Uchiha Kagami said to everyone.

Everyone looked at the Uchiha mirror solemnly. No matter the ninja above the level of squad leader or the junior ninja who knew the detailed combat plan, they were comforted by their superiors. They turned their unwillingness and depression into motivation, waiting to explode. At that moment, Uchiha Mirror's words undoubtedly gave them the key to unlock their shackles.

"For Konoha, for the Country of Fire, and for the peace of the ninja world, I hope you all will fight bravely. I will fight with you!" Uchiha Mirror said loudly.

The answer to Uchiha Mirror was "Yes" in unison, and the voice was also very loud, and could even be heard outside the camp. After the combat meeting, everyone from the superiors down began to take action, no matter where they were. Ninjas of all types walked to their respective posts, and the samurai army was also arranged.

"We're finally here." Hatake Sakumo stood in the camp fully armed, looking at the Konoha ninjas running around in front of him. Standing beside him were Asuna and others.

"The day of the decisive battle will probably be very hard. Risa, will it be okay?" Mizuki adjusted the ninja tools on his body a little and said to Risa Yamanaka.

Risa Yamanaka nodded and said: "No problem, I have practiced well these days."

In the next battle, the intensity of the battle must be unprecedented, and Risa Yamanaka, who is responsible for intelligence and perception, will undoubtedly bear a lot of pressure. Although Risa Yamanaka is not very strong, she is Hatake Sakumo. The center of connection.

"That's good. In this way, we only need to pay attention to the enemy in front of us." Hatake Sakumo turned around and said, "Mizuki, you have to protect Risa."

"Understood. The troublesome enemies are Sakumo-nii and Asuna." Mizuki said.

At this time, Asuna was putting the chakra reserve blocks into the trait slots in the combat uniform. In order to adapt to the new ninja tools, Konoha Ninja Village's combat uniforms were improved while also leaving a large amount of space specifically for the new ninja tools. Place of placement.

"Use sparingly, unless it's an extreme emergency." Hatake Sakumo said after seeing Asuna's actions. He knew that it was a chakra reserve block that contained that special chakra.

Although Asuna's training in Sage Mode has progressed further, it is not certain whether she will exceed her own control ability like last time in this battle that can be called a decisive battle.

"Yes." Asuna nodded to Hatake Sakumo, "I will be careful."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Asuna's expression, nodded slightly, then turned to look at his subordinates gathered in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

Scenes like this were constantly being staged in the Konoha ninja camp, and thus began what would later be known as the "Battle of Kawano Castle".

When the Sunagakure ninjas met the Konoha ninjas, a fierce battle began. Various ninjutsu and ninja tools flew through the air, mixed with Konoha's unique detonating cannons and Sunagakure's puppet mechanisms. Violent sounds broke out in each other's positions.

Uchiha Kage stood at the top of Kawano Castle, his eyes maintaining the state of Sharingan, staring closely at the battle situation below.Although he did not think that the Sunagakure ninjas would use their full strength at the beginning of the battle, no one was sure what tactics the opponent would use, so he still had to be cautious.

According to the information sent by the Anbu, the Kazekage Ebizo of the Sunagakure Ninja Village may leave. This is actually expected by Uchiha Kagami, because this battle is undoubtedly a turning point for the Sunagakure Ninja Village - of course , also from the Konoha Ninja Village - facing such an important war, how could Ebizo not come?

For this battle, Sunagakure Ninja Village specially drew out the troops in the Country of Rain. If the situation in the Country of Kawakawa is successfully opened, they can also abandon the Country of Rain, which seems fragile but is actually like a quagmire. .

The number of troops in the Kingdom of Rain is not large, but the terrain environment is special, and there is Hanzo, a person with extraordinary strength. According to Fengmori Masaki's suggestion, Hanzo started a guerrilla war in the Kingdom of Rain.Under the constraints of the Konoha ninja troops on the Kawa Country side, the Sunagakure ninjas are unable to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Kingdom of Rain. And with a certain amount of troops, the Sunagakure ninjas have absolutely no place in the Kingdom of Rain. Cheap.

The Kingdom of Rain is indeed a very troublesome place, otherwise Hanzo would not be able to stop the invasion of the three countries of fire, wind, and earth in normal time and space. In the end, the three major countries had to give up and withdraw from the Kingdom of Rain, even if Konoha was the last victors, but we cannot ignore that they did not truly conquer the Land of Rain. The release of the Konoha Sannin is a proof.

Hanzo made good use of the terrain advantage of the Rain Country, forcing the Sunagakure ninjas to be unable to advance or retreat. If it weren't for the fact that Kawakuni was equally difficult to deal with, some people in the Sunagakure Ninja Village felt that the Rain Country was still the same. It is possible that the Sunagakure ninja troops staying in the Land of Rain have long wanted to leave.

As the war situation in Kawakuni changed, the Sunagakure Ninja Village decided to have a real decisive battle, and they made up their mind to withdraw their troops from the Country of Rain and invest them in Kawakuni. This also represents their attitude. , this battle must be won.

Uchiha Mirror determined that Ebizo must have come to the front line, but it is still unknown when he will take action. This person must be dealt with by him. According to the information provided by Danzo, Ebizo is good at strategy and uses wind. The Escape Technique will also use the Secret Technique of Sand invented by the ancestor Kazekage. In comparison, Chiyo, who is similar in strength to him, is good at the Puppet Technique. The difference in their areas of expertise determines who can deal with them.

In the first ninja unit, the strongest one is undoubtedly Uchiha Kagami, and the one behind him is the young Hatake Sakumo.This young man has raised his strength to a very powerful level with his outstanding talent, and the lack of experience has been made up for in this war. He is a rookie in Konoha Ninja Village, and has deep experience in dealing with puppets. Even if he loses Asuna and Mizuki can definitely make up for the space given to Chiyo.

However, to deal with a wind escape master like Ebizo, even if an ordinary wind escape ninja has no meaning to Hatake Sakumo, it is always not a good choice to let a ninja who is good at thunder escape deal with him, and judging from the status of both parties, As the supreme commander of the First Ninja Force, Uchiha Kagami is the most suitable.

"The so-called king versus king, soldier versus soldier." Uchiha Jing stared at the two sides in the melee and said in a deep voice, "So, when can your 'king' come out?"

At this time, near Kawano Castle, samurai armies were confronting and charging against each other on the open and flat ground. This was the only terrain they could use. Once they entered a more complex place, it would be difficult for the regular army's close cooperation and numerical advantage to be used. It is easy to be dispersed by the ninja troops and slowly eaten.

Therefore, the current ninja war is mainly about large-scale charges by samurai armies. The ninja army's responsibility is to take over the areas where samurai are inconvenient. At most, it is to find hundreds of samurai to kill the opponent's physical strength and find opportunities for themselves. The status of samurai is indeed getting lower and lower.

The unique detonating cannon in Konoha Ninja Village is a sharp weapon against the samurai army. Facing a large-scale charging samurai, a casual attack can clear out a bunch of people, and the fire and impact of the explosion can intimidate the enemy. Because of this, Sunagakure ninjas understand that the key to victory lies in the struggle and invasion of complex terrain.

The main places where wars broke out between Konoha and Sunagakure were on the relatively rugged roads or towering dangerous places near Kawa no Kuni. This was originally one of the defensive barriers of Kawa no Kuni. If it were a traditional samurai army, it would be difficult to face it. It would naturally be very detrimental to a place like this, but it was different for ninjas.

Once any place is lost, the Sunagakure ninjas can carry out long-distance strikes against the dense samurai army, thereby disrupting the formation and giving their own samurai army a chance to charge. This is a battle between ninjas.

Uchiha Kage waited patiently for the enemy to appear, but he did not expect that the opponent's patience was so good. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the opponent had not yet appeared. Instead, both sides were left to pick up the remaining troops and accumulate strength for the next time.

"Are you planning to test our defense capabilities? Once they see the whole picture, it will be time for the Sunagakure ninjas to go all out." At the combat meeting, the staff's analysis was recognized by Uchiha Mirror, and Uchiha Mirror was nothing. If you are polite, just let the other party see it directly, so that the other party will be more likely to use their full strength.

Uchiha Mirror even decided that in the next battle, he would personally fight a battle.In the war between the two sides, whichever side's general takes the lead will show his weakness to a certain extent. The possibility of the Sunagakure ninja launching a total attack should become higher.

Although some people think that it is not a good choice for the commander to attack so early, not to mention that after Uchiha Mirror lost an arm, his strength was inevitably reduced. Although after hard training, he was close to before, the gap is still It does exist.

Despite all the opinions, Uchiha Jing still decided to attack in person. He actually wanted to show off his current abilities.Except for Fengmori Masaki, no one else knew about the Mangekyō Sharingan. Although some people saw the Uchiha Mirror's unique Mangekyō Sharingan that day, not many people saw it, and they all saw it. Without knowing the legend of the Mangekyo Sharingan, it is naturally impossible to connect it. Therefore, the Mangekyo Sharingan will be his trump card.

Uchiha Kage knows what kind of power his Mangekyou Sharingan possesses. Even if he loses one hand, his strength has exceeded his past heyday, and no one else knows this. Sunagakure Ninja Naturally, it is impossible to know this. If they think they can judge the current state of Uchiha Mirror, they will suffer a loss in the future.

The current Uchiha Kage intends to deceive the other party. Originally, deception was one of the qualities of the ninja profession. For traditional samurai, it is a despicable act, but for ninjas, it is commonplace. If someone thinks that a certain ninja's behavior is despicable, That just means that they failed to understand the essence of traditional ninja.

In the battle the next day, after Uchiha Kyou carefully observed the battlefield, he led a team of 15 people to a certain defense line in front. After advancing to the Mangekyō Sharingan, the normal state of the Sharingan also greatly increased its pupil power. He was good at casting genjutsu from a long distance, but before he even got there, he let the Sunagakure ninja above get hit with genjutsu. The result was natural, and he didn't last long enough to completely reverse the original unfavorable state.

This situation was quickly sent to the command camp of the Sunagakure ninjas, letting the senior officials of the Sunagakure ninjas know about it.

"Really, Uchiha Mirror has taken action."

"It seems that the information that he lost an arm is true. Although he seems to be performing well, his strength must have declined."

"It's pretty good to maintain our current strength, but that's all. It seems like our opportunity will come soon."

The Third Kazekage Ebizo, who was on the front line in person, looked at the information in his hand and said to everyone, his eyes filled with joy.
