The support force led by the Uchiha clan aimed at the outpost on the border of the Land of Fire.

This is not the first or last line of defense, but it is the most important line of defense in the north of the Fire Country.

Once the border outpost is breached, the Kumo ninja can march straight in and burn the war into the Land of Fire.

Although this will put a lot of pressure on Kumo Ninja's logistics, because the war takes place in the Country of Fire, regardless of victory or defeat, it will cause great damage to the Country of Fire, leading to a significant economic decline in the northern part of the Country of Fire.

Even if the Kumo ninja were defeated, such a loss would severely damage the Fire Nation's vitality.

Although there is no strong inevitable connection between the Ninja Village and the country, Konoha's mission entrustment and funding rely heavily on the Fire Nation daimyo.

If the country's economic losses are too heavy, it will inevitably affect the development of Konoha.

Without commissions, there would be no money. Without money, it would be impossible to maintain a large number of ninja troops. Talented newcomers would not receive adequate training, falling into a vicious cycle.

Just look at the situation in Suna Ninja Village and you will know that Konoha will never allow itself to fall into that situation.

Uchiha Fugaku's mission is to lead the first batch of support teams to establish a solid defense line at the border outpost, at least to ensure that the Kumo ninja will not break through the defense line in a short time, allowing the rear to have ample time to deploy troops to support the front line.

Although Konoha is the number one great ninja village, due to its geographical location, it has to face the pressure of four great ninja villages at the same time. It usually has to dedicate a large number of ninjas to complete official and private commissions from the Land of Fire.

It's not impossible to deploy enough troops to the battlefield, but it will take time.

The only mission of these hundreds of ninjas brought by Uchiha Fugaku is to buy enough time.

This is not easy.

With hundreds versus thousands, even if the Uchiha clan is an undisputed elite force among the same level, when the gap in numbers widens to more than ten times, this is not an easy task.

In particular, the news of the Fourth Raikage's personal visit to the battlefield has been confirmed. Even though Uchiha Fugaku is very confident in his Mangekyō Sharingan, he can't help but feel a sense of pressure.

It's true that the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful.

However, the Mangekyō Sharingan is not invincible.

Even Uchiha Madara, who possessed the Eternal Kaleidoscope, was defeated again and again by Senju Hashirama.

What's more, what Uchiha Fugaku possesses is just an ordinary kaleidoscope, and he has never used the power of these eyes to the maximum in battle.

"Fortunately, there is not only one pair of Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if Obito refuses to come back, the mysterious Otsutsuki clan cannot count on it. Shisui and I will join forces to entangle the Raikage with great certainty."

Uchiha Fugaku was worried.

This war, with the help of Shisui's power, is almost inevitable.

Uchiha Fugaku was not worried about Shisui's unwillingness to contribute.

Regardless of whether Shisui is on Uchiha's side or Konoha's side, in the face of this war of invasion by foreign enemies, Shisui will do his best.

What Fugaku was worried about was how to let Shisui know that he had the information that "Shisui possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan" without causing resentment.

Geniuses are all aloof and arrogant. If Shisui had not been brainwashed by the Third Generation and Danzo, because this incident aroused Shisui's disgust and pushed him against the Uchiha clan, then a good thing would have turned into a bad thing.

Along the way, Fugaku struggled with this problem.

Even when he was on the way, he was thinking about how to deal with the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Shisui.

When the brain is thinking, it is inevitable that it will be a little distracted.

Suddenly, a scream woke Uchiha Fugaku.

"Enemy attack!!"

The one who screamed the warning was a jounin of the Aburame clan.

The style of the Aburame clan is very low-key, and their normal presence is very low, so they are often ignored subconsciously.

But on the battlefield, the Aburame clan, who are good at sensing, containing, and controlling the field, and are not weak in frontal combat, have always been very reliable companions.

Upon hearing the warning from the jounin of the Aburame clan, everyone immediately entered a fighting state, alert to enemies that might appear at any time.

The Aburame clan can use parasitic insects to sense chakra reactions in a large area, but the sensitivity of the perception is much less detailed.

After the jounin of the Aburame clan issued the warning, other ninjas who were good at perception soon began to use their own perception methods to detect the enemy's situation.

Soon, someone found out the situation and spoke very quickly: "Eleven o'clock direction! At least 60 people, including five with high-intensity chakra reactions! It is expected to enter the 30-meter range within 500 seconds!"

How dare 60 people attack a team of hundreds of people?

Is it a dead soldier's surprise attack, or a feint attack?

Why didn't the scouting team in front send a warning?

Uchiha Fugaku didn't have time to think carefully, and ordered without hesitation: "The first and second squadrons are facing the enemy, the perception squad is on guard in all directions, and the others are staying put and be wary of traps!"

After shouting three times in succession, Uchiha Fugaku turned his attention away and paid attention to the situation in other directions.

In just a few words, the enemy had already reached a very close distance, and without any cover-up, he just rushed forward carelessly.

Even ninjas who are not good at perception can hear the sound of an enemy approaching.

This is no longer just a surprise attack, but a provocation.

As a ninja, if you fight less and don't talk more, you don't even abide by the most basic principles of assassination. This is completely a sign of looking down on the enemy.

Most of the Uchiha clan's mentality is not normal. Many people can't stand the contempt of their enemies and suddenly become furious.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Fire Escape - Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"Fire Release - The art of singing with dragon flames!"

Each fire escape ninjutsu blasted towards the forest hundreds of meters away.

This high-density coverage attack has a very good clearing effect on some weak targets.

If they are within the range covered by fire, some genin and chuunin without special means will be seriously injured even if they do not die.

Even if you are a jounin, if you are not good at evasion and defense, you will not feel too good.

After countless flames flew out, the enemy's figure was revealed in the distant forest.

Fifty or sixty figures with skin as black as charcoal, wearing Kumo ninjas to protect their foreheads, appeared in the forest.

The leader had white hair and carried a long knife on his back that was almost longer than his height.

This outfit reminded Uchiha Fugaku of one of his seniors, Shigesaku Hatake, who was known as the White Fang of Konoha.

Seeing the oncoming covering ninjutsu attack, the white-haired light ninja took off his long sword with his backhand, advanced instead of retreating, and slashed towards the oncoming fireball.
