Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

The front-line camp had no walls; the closer to the commander-in-chief's tent, the more tents there were, and vice versa.

The entire camp was very quiet; no one gathered together to talk, and at most, people walked briskly in twos and threes.

Danzo Shimura was extremely oppressive, and no one dared to relax. His style made the frontline troops feel very stifled.

"Have you heard? Your classmate failed his mission and was assigned to the decoy unit."

"It's terrifying. The command center is like a cold machine. As long as the mission succeeds, the only outcome is that if the mission fails and you return to the main camp, you will be assigned to the decoy unit and put on a mission to lure the enemy."

"The casualty rate of the decoy force must be over 80%."

"The latest news is that it's over 90% complete."

"We must be extremely careful on this mission. To ensure its success, we must stop at nothing."

"Yes, they'll stop at nothing."

Hearing these few words, Uchiha Ryo secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

As expected of Danzo Shimura, this dark style is truly remarkable.

Uchiha Ryo saw several open spaces at the edge of the camp, with some wooden stakes in the center of the open spaces, which looked like a temporary training ground.

In each training ground, one or two small teams are eager to improve their skills and are training hard.

Another squad is working on opening up a new training ground nearby.

Uchiha Ryo was itching to try it out and wanted to study his newly acquired Vacuum Flow Wind Release technique.

He tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a corner of his robe peeking out from behind a large tree in the distance.

There are many secret agents in this camp, who are responsible for both early warning and monitoring everything in the camp.

If he were to use Vacuum Flow Wind Release here, he would probably be caught by the Anbu and brought before Danzo immediately.

Danzo wasn't interested in where he learned the Shimura clan's Vacuum Flow Wind Release technique; he simply killed him, thus ending the matter easily.

If he is to use Vacuum Flow Wind Escape, he must come up with some minor innovations and disguise them as his own talent.

Talent is a good thing. If you ask me, I'm just incredibly talented. My ninjutsu is self-created.

Let's not rush today. We'll practice Wind Release after we receive the mission and leave the camp tomorrow.

He continued wandering around the camp and found a tent.

Lifting the curtain, inside were the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tetsuka, and Uchiha Inahisa.

It was impossible for Fugaku Uchiha to bring the Tetsuhito squad to the front lines, so that the Eighth Hokage Uchiha would train Tetsuhito and his students.

The moment he saw Uchiha Ryo, Uchiha Tetsuka instantly activated his single-tomoe Sharingan.

Uchiha Ryo paused, his body frozen in place as he was about to sit down.

When?

Uchiha Tetsuka has actually awakened the Sharingan?

The Eighth Hokage patted the shoulder of the Ryo Uchiha, gesturing for him to sit down, and then lowered the curtain.

The Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan is 25 years old and a key member of the clan. He awakened the Three-Tomoe realm five years ago. He said:

"Ling, sit down quickly."

We have been ordered by Chief Fugaku to respond to the village's call and join the war in Takigawa.

The village did not conscript a large number of Uchiha clan squads; on the battlefield, there was only our all-Uchiha squad.

Our team originally had four people, one of whom sacrificed himself, and Tiehuo awakened his Sharingan as a result.

The Uchiha clan will grow stronger through the baptism of war, brutal sacrifices, and unbearable losses.

Uchiha Ryo understood immediately; it turned out that a teammate had died. Uchiha Tekka then activated his Sharingan.

As expected of Fugaku's chosen disciple, his Sharingan talent is quite remarkable. He awakened his Sharingan on his first battlefield at the age of 12, and the stimulation and emotions had a significant impact on Uchiha Tetsuka.

Uchiha Ryo was somewhat weaker in this regard; Du Le Jiong was almost beaten to death, but he didn't react at all.

I am neither sad nor upset.

Those who killed their loved ones and were unable to awaken the Sharingan must be just as desperate as I am.

Do they also ask, "Do I really have no heart?"

The Eighth Hokage asked, "Ryo, how are you doing in the regular ninja squad?"

"I was assigned to Orochimaru's team, but Orochimaru's teaching methods are completely different from those of the other Jonin."

"I must persevere on the battlefield for five months, proving my strength and worth, before I can see Orochimaru-sensei again."

Even though Uchiha Tetsuka had always disliked Uchiha Ryo, and Uchiha Ryo had made him lose face in front of Fugaku-sensei, he now felt a bit of sympathy for Uchiha Ryo.

Even if his enemies knew about Uchiha Ryo's graduation treatment, they would be at peace with him now.

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha said, "Ring, be careful on the front lines. Danzo, the advisor, has a grudge against our Uchiha clan."

This grudge began with the death of the First Hokage, accumulated due to the Second Hokage's suspicions, and reached its peak after Lord Kagami was murdered.

If you persevere for 5 months, once you truly become Orochimaru's student, things will turn around.

As far as I know, Orochimaru is reckless and doesn't care whether Danzo is targeting us.

"I understand, you should also be careful, Eighth Generation Senior."

Uchiha Yatsuho said, "The most common task on the front lines is to defend the defensive zone."

Your squad is assigned a 10-kilometer defense zone, and you are responsible for the security of that 10-kilometer zone.

Such defensive missions, involving reconnaissance, ambush, and concealment, typically last for five days.

Five days later, a new squad will replace you.

Uchiha Ryo nodded. Just thinking about it made him realize how brutal such a mission could be.

A small team patrols back and forth along the ten-kilometer border, during which they may encounter probing by Iwa ninja squads, or even surprise attacks by Iwa ninja battalions.

A single gathering of multiple Iwa ninja squads could quickly destroy a Konoha squad within the defensive zone.

If this squad survives, they can bring the intelligence back to the main camp.

The fact that this squad was wiped out is also intelligence for the main camp.

Uchiha Ryo asked, "Eighth Hokage-senpai, besides the defense zone squads, are there any support squads? In case an Iwa ninja company or battalion breaks through the defense zone, we can't just let them sail straight into the heart of the Land of Fire, can we?"

Uchiha Hachimoku said:

"Yes, the front-line troops are defense zone squads, and the second-line troops are support companies that support several defense zones."

There are also third-line troops, assault troops, which are usually composed of one or several battalions. They are the elite of the front line and are responsible for counterattacking the Iwa ninja.

The Uchiha clan is not well-liked, and all the missions I've been given are frontline defense missions.

The mission in the front-line defense zone is a Class B mission; even if you die in the defense zone, it is still a Class B mission.

Second-line support squadrons and third-line assault units may be tasked with B-level, A-level, or even S-level missions.

Ryo Uchiha understood immediately: the Uchiha clan was not trusted and would never carry out an A-rank mission.

Uchiha Ryo said, "My team will be receiving a mission tomorrow. Let's exchange information and, if possible, look out for each other."

Uchiha Hachimoku nodded repeatedly and said, "Our team will also be going to get our mission tomorrow. See you tomorrow."

The next day, Uchiha Ryo and Dokura Kyo waited at a distance from the command tent.

Du Lejiong said, "Ling, I've found out that there are a total of 92 defense zones on the border between the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Fire."

The command post is located behind defense zone 45. The closer the zone number is to 45, the closer it is to the front-line camp, and the safer it is.

Uchiha Ryo said, "I bet our defense zone is within 10 or above 80, do you believe me?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Because it was so outrageous, even Du Lejiong laughed and said:

"We don't even have a Jonin to lead the team, and you're sending three Genin to such a remote defense zone? We have no grudge against Danzo, isn't this going too far?"

Uchiha Ryo smiled. No grudge or enmity?

Mitarashi Anko walked toward her teammates with a grim expression.

She didn't even dare to get close, and walked slower and slower.

Seeing Hongdou's expression, Du Lejiong knew things were going to go wrong.

"Which...which defense zone?"

Hongdou said, "Sector 81..."

Du Lejiong patted his forehead, wondering why this was happening.

"Sector 81, isn't that almost at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron?"

Even Mitarashi Anko couldn't answer him.

Uchiha Ryo was not surprised when he saw Uchiha Hachiro also walk out of the command tent.

Uchiha Hachimoku made the gesture of "87".

Uchiha Ryo replied with "81," implying there were others even more unlucky than himself.
