Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 172: Susanoo Tailed Beast

After Uchino Shinji and Chiyo left, Hatake Sakumo looked at Yekura.

"Is it okay to give it to him?"

"He has no other way out. He can only go down this path to the end."

Ye Cang nodded, "Leave it to him, Uchino Shinji can handle things here."

"As long as you think it's okay." Hatake Sakumo found a seat and sat down. "All we have to do now is wait quietly, right?"

Ye Cang glanced at the scenery outside the window: "Yes."

Just wait for the Fire Nation to send its troops.

……

"Master Jijun, the Wind Country refused to return the bodies of Elder Tennekoharu and others, and detained all the envoys we sent."

The staff of the Intelligence Department lowered their heads to report the recent intelligence to Tsunade, not daring to look up at her.

At this time, Tsunade was wearing a twelve-layered robe, each layer of which was in a different color and pattern, from the elegant cherry blossom pink to the deep dark blue, with a gradual color change, just like the morning glow in the morning light...

The female daimyo, or princess, was wearing too fancy clothes, and paired with Tsunade-sama's mature temperament, it would be rude to look directly at her.

As far as he knew, Lady Tsunade was initially reluctant to wear this kind of clothing that made it difficult to move in, but tradition was tradition and she still had to deal with the situation.

After all, many nobles gathered in the castle tower at that time.

The staff of the Intelligence Department looked at the nobles sitting upright on both sides with tense expressions.

"I understand, please leave."

A response came from above.

"Yes!"

The intelligence staff nodded and left.

At the top seat, Tsunade saw him retreat and slowly stood up from her seat.

The hem of her dress was embroidered with delicate gold and silver threads, depicting flowers and birds of the four seasons. As she stood up, it swayed gently, as if it had come alive.

The people at the head held their breath as Tsunade acted. Knowing today's agenda, they were already prepared.

"What do you think?"

Hearing Tsunade's question, Shikaku, who was sitting at the front, also stood up from his cushion and saluted.

"Master Ji, the Wind Nation murdered their colleagues from the Fire Nation first, and then they were disrespectful."

Shikaku's voice was heavy and powerful, and his eyes swept over every noble present, as if seeking their support and approval, "We must give a firm response!"

These were originally minor nobles who were unable to hold high positions in the pre-daimyo era. After Tsunade came to power, they quickly defected to her and supplemented the civil service after the turmoil in the Fire Country. They are now an important part of the Fire Country.

"Yes, the actions of the Wind Country are a provocation to Lord Jijun and are unforgivable! Lord Jijun, please give the order to flatten the Wind Country!"

A noble responded first, and others followed suit.

"Flatten the Kingdom of Wind!"

Looking at the response from the audience, Tsunade took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Gather the ninja troops and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

……

Yamada Hidenori, the senior ninja in charge of the military fortress at the frontier of Tsukimi Castle, approached Uchino Shinji and said anxiously:
"Elder Shinji, why do you have to detain Konoha's envoy and Elder Chiyo? There are signs of large-scale troop movements on the border of the Land of Fire. They..." Uchino Shinji raised his hand to interrupt Yamada Hidenori's words and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you stop him before? I've already said that Elder Chiyo cannot be trusted!"

"All the Konoha ninjas stationed at the Sand Village Embassy died in the battle, and it was us Sand Village who did it. There is no possibility of rebuttal. But Konoha actually let Chiyo, an elder who can gather the power of Sand Village, back. Do you think there is no trap?"

Yamada Hidenori opened his mouth, but finally sighed and said nothing.

If he really thought there was no problem, he would not have agreed to Uchino Shinji's actions before.

He is the person in charge of this fortress and one of the first ninjas to defect to the Daimyo of the Wind Country.

If he had not agreed, Uchino Shinji would not have had the opportunity to meet with Chiyo as a representative and plan to capture her.

Seeing him waver, Uchino Shinji continued, "Also, among the ninjas killed in the embassy were Utane Koharu and Nara Shikaon. The former was a contemporary friend of the Third Hokage, and the latter was a former Konoha high-ranking official and the father of Nara Shikaku, the current military minister of the Land of Fire. We have no way out."

"Besides, the Daimyo has no objection. Don't panic and lose your composure because of the troop movement of the Fire Nation."

But this is the strangest part.

Some actions of the Daimyo of the Wind Country seem a little stupid, but any human being, just by looking at past battle records, will know that their Wind Country is no match for the Fire Country.

Even though there was no way out, the daimyo agreed to Yamada Hidenori's plan without asking any questions. Wasn't that a bit too casual?
Or does the Wind Kingdom still have a trump card that can help it survive this disaster?
Thinking about this, Yamada Hidenori sighed and whispered:
"I understand. Then, Elder Shinji, I'll leave it to you from now on. I don't have as much experience as you, so I'll have to rely on your help from now on. The daimyo said that reinforcements will come, so let's hold out for two days."

He had no hope of defeating the Fire Nation and only wanted to hold out for the initial offensive, wait for the reinforcements reported by the daimyo, and then withdraw to the rear.

He even felt a little regretful as to why he had chosen to join the daimyo so early.

Being entrusted with an important task is a good thing, but defending the border of the Fire Nation is undoubtedly a deadly job.

"give it to me."

Uchino Shinji nodded without changing his expression, which made Yamada Hidenori admire him a little.

As expected of an elder of the older generation, he remained calm and composed in the face of the powerful Fire Nation.

……

"I have never seen such a solid fortress. It seems that there is no such thing built in the Fire Country."

A ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector looked at the high walls in the distance and sighed.

Ahead, on the endless desert, a massive military fortress rose from the ground.

The exterior is made of solid special stone, and the walls are stacked layer by layer up to 20 meters high. They can not only withstand the fierce attacks of explosive tags and various ninjutsu, but also ensure the absolute confidentiality of the internal facilities.

It is undoubtedly a fortress.

"The supply of the Wind Country front is a big problem, especially the water problem. Without the Tsukimi Castle behind them, this fortress is worthless. Or rather, it is precisely because of the Tsukimi Castle as a supply point that this fortress was built."

On the side, Kakashi walked up to him and whispered, "Tsukimi Castle is also defended by ninjas. This fortress is a nail on the outside. If you don't pull it out, it will be easy to be attacked from both sides."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yamaru, who had spoken with emotion earlier, raised his lips slightly, "Since we are the ones leading the team here, it means that this is not a roundabout tactic, but a frontal breakthrough, right?"

"Of course!"

Kakashi nodded slightly, and the tailed beast coat appeared on his body, and he began to transform into the form of the three-tailed beast.

Seeing this, a red Susanoo skeleton appeared on Yamaru's body.

Then, under the fanatical gaze of the ninja troops behind them, Yakumaru's Susanoo was gradually put on the Three-Tails.

Majestic outfit Susanoo!

"Today, let the Wind Nation see what absolute power is!"
