Uchiha's personal opinion

They then immediately headed towards the inland areas of the Land of Whirlpools.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

The mobile unit had just infiltrated a forest when a childish voice came from ahead.

The sound was faint, but it stood out starkly in the deathly silent forest.

The mobile force halted abruptly and immediately went into combat readiness.

A silver-haired, purple-eyed child leisurely emerged from the jungle, carrying an iron rod taller than himself, its top adorned with green flowers.

"Yakura..."

Sakumo Hatake's expression immediately turned serious.

"I've heard so much about you, the famous White Fang of Konoha." Yagura Karatachi had a gentle smile on his face. "And Tokumitsu-kun from the Uchiha clan."

"...How did you find us?" Uchiha Tokumitsu placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes slightly closed, then opened, and his three-tomoe Sharingan activated.

Yagura Karatachi stared directly into Tokumitsu Uchiha's Sharingan without flinching. "Heh... well, the Uzumaki clan's secret techniques are indeed quite useful..."

"Is that so..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled as well, "Who gave you the courage to stand so arrogantly in front of the Uchiha?"

"So what do you think?" Yagura Karatachi tapped the ground with his iron rod.

A ripple spread through the jungle behind them, revealing seven male and female ninjas of varying heights and builds.

Then, signal flares soared into the sky from a distance, and countless chakra fluctuations appeared out of thin air, quickly encircling the mobile force.

"Say hello to the gentlemen of Konoha."

With a smile, Yagura Karatachi addressed the seven ninjas behind him.

"Ten Treasures of Loquat!"

"Sugar Water Pufferfish Demon!"

"Chestnut Scattered Pills!"

"Tongcaoyebaiman!"

"No pears, very eight!"

"Black Hoshiraiga!"

"Hozuki Full Moon!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, reporting for duty!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the most elite of Kirigakure, plus a thousand ninja soldiers..." Yagura Karatachi, holding an iron rod with a green flower-adorned tip, pointed it at Uchiha Tokumitsu. "Tokumitsu-kun, do you think that's enough?"

"What do you think?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also revealed a cruel smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, only killing intent.

Uchiha Tokumitsu formed the Tiger Seal with his right hand, and a flame rose from the top of his head, transforming into a firework that soared into the sky.

Three red signal flares rose from the direction of the whirlpool in the outer sea behind them.

More than two hundred chakra fluctuations appeared out of thin air again, rapidly converging on the mobile force.

"Do you think two hundred and fifty elite Uchiha clan members are enough to contend with a thousand worthless bastards from Kirigakure?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's three-tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster as Hatake Sakumo drew his signature White Fang short sword.

The twelve Uchiha combat Jonin also activated their Sharingan, their cold and murderous eye powers intertwining and surging, even causing the surrounding air to seem to distort and turbulent.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen also lowered their heads, avoiding the gaze of the Uchiha Jonin, and dispersed to the sides.

"It seems this was all a conspiracy by your Konoha..." Yagura Karatachi changed his hand gestures, holding his staff horizontally in front of him, and red chakra bubbles rose from his body, then continued to condense behind him.

The power of the tailed beasts!

"You got the information from the Anbu, right..." Uchiha Tokumitsu pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, preparing to draw his sword and ask casually.

"Hehehe... It's not just the Anbu." The chakra behind Yagura Karatachi gradually coalesced into a thorny tail. "Your Dark Ninja also sent quite a few good things..."

In the mobile unit, the nine Jonin directly under Hatake Sakumo's command turned solemn, the six support ninjas turned pale, and the killing intent emanating from the twelve Uchiha Jonin intensified.

The sound of ninjutsu explosions could be heard from behind.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's secret guards and Tokumitsu's Red Guard have begun formal combat with the Hidden Mist Ninja Army.

"Yagura! Are you going to make a move or not!" Kushimaru Kurihara, wielding a long sword called Sewing Needle and sporting a head of fluffy, spiky yellow hair, shouted impatiently.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were originally the most unruly ninja group in Kirigakure. They would even dare to talk back to the Mizukage without being too forceful. When they were under the leadership of Yagura Karatachi, a strong ninja from Kirigakure, it was already a great show of respect that they did not overstep their bounds and take the initiative to attack.

"idiot!"

Yagura cursed inwardly, thinking, "He can't even figure out how to stall for time. I really don't know how he became a ninja swordsman."

The sound of ninjutsu explosions behind the mobile force was getting closer and closer, indicating that Uchiha Tokumitsu's prepared backup plan had gained the upper hand in the battle against the Hidden Mist Ninja Army.

In this situation, instead of considering how to extricate oneself completely, one is simply asking for trouble by making such ignorant clamors.

“It seems… the situation has indeed exceeded your expectations…” Uchiha Tokumitsu often bent over, like a spring, constantly accumulating energy under pressure.

"It is said that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, when they join forces, can conquer a small country in a single night. It's a pity we didn't get to meet them during the Battle of the Uzumaki..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was very calm, as if he were chatting with his neighbors about what to eat for breakfast.

"Furthermore... your swords are quite impressive. I've already decided to form the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Uchiha clan. I hope you won't be ungrateful and will obediently kneel down and offer up your swords..."

The ninja sword made the anger on his face even more intense.

"As for you... the short Jinchūriki..."

As Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke, Yagura's face turned bright red.

Immediately, Uchiha Tokumitsu's words shocked him.

"Give my regards to Governor Isobu!"

A blade of light, as sharp as lightning, slashed towards Yagura Karatachi!

Chapter 117 Water and Fire Clash in an Unending Battle

"Uchiha Style: Sun Halo Dance!"

Surrounded by purple flames, Uchiha Tokumitsu swung his sword at Yagura. Streams of purple flame sword energy rained down on Yagura from various tricky angles.

Yagura slammed his iron rod into the ground, and instantly clusters of coral rose into the air, blocking all the fire-escape sword energy.

"Your Sharingan eyes are destined to become my collectibles!"

The most insane members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kushimaru Kurihara and Jinpachi Murashi, were the first to charge forward, followed by the other five who drew their swords. The Mobile Force Jonin immediately engaged them in battle.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

The twelve Uchiha Jonin joined forces to unleash a fire-style ninjutsu, burning the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Although they knew very little about the abilities of the Hidden Mist Ninja Swordsmen, as Jonin, they naturally knew that since they possessed specially made ninja swords, they would have a huge advantage in close combat. Therefore, the Jonin of the Mobile Force Operation had no intention of engaging them in close-quarters taijutsu combat.

Samehada - Devour!

Suigetsu Hozuki, wielding the greatsword Samehada, flashed forward. His ninja sword broke free of its bandages and instantly grew larger, transforming into a monstrous fish. He opened his huge mouth and lunged at the menacing fire dragon.

"Pfft!"

All twelve great fire dragons were swallowed by Samehada, but its body was also burned red by the fire-style ninjutsu. Its body twisted and jumped, almost breaking free from Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

"Long Sword Ninja Art: Earth Spider Sewing!"

The most hot-tempered Kushimaru Kurihara activated a secret ninja technique, sending steel wires from his longsword, Sewing Needle, into the ground and spreading in all directions.

"Dance of Thunder!"

Sakumo Hatake's figure burst from the ground, his entire body covered in powerful Lightning Release chakra. As he spun around, he severed all the steel wires and rushed towards Yagura Karatachi.

Twenty-one operational Jonin ganged up on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, while Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo fought against Karatachi Yagura.

"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"

Hiding among the coral reefs, Yagura Karatachi formed hand seals, conjuring a water mirror that shone towards Sakumo Hatake.

But Sakumo Hatake immediately disappeared again with a Body Flicker Technique.

The Water Mirror Technique failed.

"Uchiha Style: Sword Flame Slash!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu condensed the scattered fire-style sword energy into a massive sword beam and slashed it towards Yagura, who was hiding in the coral reef.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

A huge blue water sphere enveloped the coral reef.

Uchiha Tokuko's sword aura cleaved the water sphere in two, but the coral protecting Yagura's body was not completely broken.

The Water Prison Technique was originally a ninjutsu used to trap enemies, but Yagura Karatachi casually used it as a defensive ninjutsu, which can be considered a strange and useful application.

"Flash!"

Behind Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo emerged from the shadows like a ghost, and a lightning sword light slashed through the gap in Uchiha Tokumitsu's defenses.

"Crack!"

Under the onslaught of thunderous sword light, the remaining coral was destroyed, and the sword energy slashed fiercely towards Yagura.

But a thorny tail appeared out of nowhere, blocking Hatake Sakumo's sword attack.

A tail formed from the condensed chakra of the Three-Tails!

Although Yagura Karatachi did not transform into a half-tailed beast, his tail, formed by borrowing the Three-Tails' chakra, still possessed exceptionally strong defensive capabilities.

"Water Release: Water Tornado!"

By drawing upon the Three-Tails' chakra, Yagura Karatachi summoned an enormous water dragon in one breath, which then swept in.

The enormous water dragon twisted its body, its head lunging at Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, while its tail lashed out at the mobile unit's combat jonin.

While Yagura was focused on fighting Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, he also noticed that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were trapped by the mobile unit's Jonin using ninjutsu, putting them in a passive defensive state and unable to take advantage of their close combat skills.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
