The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 23 Southeast Camp
According to Shiratori's understanding a few years ago, eye power is a special kind of Yin-type chakra. The use of Sharingan requires eye power, so it will lead to a reduction in mental energy.

Excessive use of the Sharingan will cause a face that looks like it has kidney deficiency. He attributed this side effect to the drastic reduction in "physical strength" - physical strength, like chakra, is a 1:1 mixture of physical energy and mental energy. If mental energy is consumed drastically, physical strength will also be reduced.

Now that he thinks about it...it doesn't seem to be the case, because he discovered that the body's energy would also be consumed!
During normal sparring, he had never consumed so much of his pupil power, nor had he noticed any abnormality in his body energy - because his body energy was insanely strong compared to other Uchiha clan members of the same age, a small reduction would not attract his attention at all.

During the battle with the Kirigakure ninja, Shiratori finally realized that when the Sharingan was open, a trace of body energy would flow to the head. After using the illusion for the second time, the pupil power was almost drained, and the amount of body energy flowing into the head increased dramatically.

Shiratori thought about it and roughly understood the reason.

The activation of the Sharingan ability does indeed only require mental power, but doing so will cause huge amounts of mental energy to wreak havoc in the head.

The users are just mortals, their brains are made of flesh and blood and cannot withstand such destruction.

Without the protection and repair of physical energy, without physical energy to balance spiritual energy, the user's eyes, optic nerves, and even the entire head may be blown apart...

The stranger the ability and the longer the Sharingan is open, the higher the consumption of the user's physical energy.

With a strong physique like Bai Niao, he only felt a little dizzy after the battle, but as time went on, he gradually felt an indescribable pain, as if someone was holding a shit-stirring... a wooden stick, stirring it in his mind.

The pain started from the eyeballs and quickly spread to the entire head. It seemed that every nerve was twisted and my face was throbbing with pain...

After a large amount of body energy was extracted, the pain gradually subsided and Shiratori had fully recovered.

In this way, Bai Niao squatted on the tree, surveying the surroundings with his eyes and summarizing the gains from the battle. He did not call on others to take over his night watch duty - because he was worried.

It was not until the sky turned pale that Zhiwei and Shuitian finally returned.

But the news I brought back...is not very good.

"We didn't find any traces of Ding Zuo's team, nor did we find any signs of fighting. We probably didn't get attacked. It's just..."

Zhiwei's tone was a little heavy: "Hyuga Takeshi's jonin team may have been in trouble."

After confirming the safety of the Dingzuo team that was closest to them, Zhiwei and Shuitian headed straight for Hinata Takeru's route.

They also did not find any trace of Hyuga Takeshi's team, but found some broken ninja tools and... blood along the way.

Moreover, the mist that was about to dissipate, but still left a trace of chakra, was enough to explain many problems.

I just don’t know… who will win or lose.

"Now everyone quickly pack up your belongings and retrieve the supplies that we hid earlier. We will rush to the southeast camp as quickly as possible and will not rest during the journey."

Looking at the somewhat silent Shuitian, Zhiwei could only temporarily take over the duties of captain and gave orders to everyone in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes!"

.........

Fire Country, Southeast Camp.

After repelling Kirigakure's third large-scale attack in six days, the camp was in ruins.

The Konoha ninjas were working hard to clear the rubble and urgently repair the defense facilities. The few medical ninjas were running around, transferring the wailing wounded to the temporary hospital in the rear after simple treatment.

Temporary command post.

"Master Qufeng, the transport team was supposed to arrive six days ago, but it hasn't arrived yet..."

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!"

Qiu Dao Qu Feng slammed the table and broke it. His face, which usually had a simple smile, was now as cold as ice.

The loss of contact with the transport team meant that the Kirigakure bastards had successfully bypassed the front lines and were beginning to wreak havoc in the heart of the Fire Country.

This was a dereliction of duty on his part and that of the entire Southeast Camp!
"I'm very sorry. I just discovered this..." The ninja who came to report was trembling all over, with cold sweat dripping down his cheeks. He was obviously frightened.

Qiu Daoqufeng looked at this scene and finally just waved his hand helplessly.

Watching the other party tremblingly leave the tent, Qufeng sat in the main seat, picked up the casualty statistics table that fell on the ground, took a look at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

After a long period of peaceful life, the Konoha ninjas have forgotten what war is...

"Clan leader..." Akimichi Huomaru, a senior ninja from the Akimichi clan who was standing next to Qufeng, was hesitant to speak.

"explain."

"...Yes." Huowan gritted his teeth, "Obviously this loss could have been avoided! You had already reported the unusual movements of Kirigakure to Hokage half a month ago, and applied to send more reconnaissance ninjas to the Land of Water, but your request was rejected by Hokage, who also said that provocative and irritating behavior should not damage the relationship between the two countries. However, Kirigakure's spies were so arrogant that they approached the gate of the camp. This is simply..."

"Fireball!"

Qufeng wanted to reprimand him, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only say helplessly: "Hiruzen is the Hokage after all. He has to consider the overall situation. It's not wrong to be cautious. He... should have his own considerations."

Speaking of this, Qu Feng remembered the expedited letter that had just been sent here urgently via the messaging eagle.

After he read through it, he almost cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen's ancestors on the spot!
There will be almost no support... The focus of the village is towards the Land of Lightning... The Southeast Camp has to fend off the invasion of the Kirigakure alone...

I'll block your grandmother's legs!
You want me to fight a country with one battalion, right?
And they allowed Iwagakure to station troops in the Land of the Fields and ambush the Raikage...

How do you know that the bastards from Iwagakure won't go south and attack the Fire Nation after killing the Raikage?

What do you believe in what that old man Ohnoki says? Are you his son?

You said he wouldn't come if we didn't let him invade the Fire Nation? He's your son?

Thinking of this, Qiu Daoqufeng felt a dull pain in the wound under his clothes that was bandaged.

If he had not fought desperately to stop the three "Seven Ninja Swordsmen" including Xiguashan Puffer Demon, the Southeast Camp would have been breached by now.

It is unrealistic to expect them to defend the southeastern coast of the Fire Country by themselves, unless...

"Lord Fengfeng!"

A young ninja who looked to be only in his teens walked in hurriedly.

"Shisui? You're back so soon? How's it going?"

"You... are right!"

Uchiha Shisui couldn't hide his joy on his face, and said excitedly: "The Kirigakure...really withdrew their troops!"

"Are you sure?" Qiu Dao Qufeng stood up.

"Yes, they have already evacuated the Land of Fire and set up camp in the overseas Land of Waves. They have also built semi-permanent facilities, seemingly preparing for our counterattack. They have no intention of sending out large-scale troops again."

Qiu Dao Qufeng let out a long sigh, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Thank God, the commander of Kirigakure... is a "smart man"!
　Let's talk about Uchiha Shisui's age. There are many contradictions.
　　Shisui is the descendant of Uchiha Kagami. In the TV series, Shisui told the Third Generation that Uchiha Kagami was his father (I don't know if it is original).

　　Uchiha Kagami was 25 years old when he died, which was around the time when the Sandaime became Hokage. If we assume that Shisui was born in that year, he should be about the same age as Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and others. However, when Shisui first appeared in the TV series, he was definitely no more than 12 years old.
　　If we ignore the TV plot, and set Shisui as the grandson of Uchiha Kagami, even if he got married and had children at the age of 18, Kagami gave birth to Shisui's father at the age of 18, and Shisui's father gave birth to Shisui at the age of 18, then Shisui now (in the Third War) should have just been born, younger than Itachi, which is obviously even more impossible.
　　So after careful consideration, I decided to follow the setting of the TV series - that is, Shisui is the son of Uchiha Kagami, and his age will be the same as Kakashi and others.

　　(I dare not mess up the setting of Shisui, because according to the outline this character is very important later.)

　　By the way, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already in his 40s when he took over as Hokage. He was drawn a little young in the original work, and Akimichi Torikaze was only 30 years old at that time, so although they belonged to the same generation, he was much younger than the Sandaime.
