Uchiha's personal opinion

The greatsword Samehada landed on Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo-like giant hand.

"This little gadget is quite practical..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu used the other hand controlling Susanoo to pick up the greatsword Samehada, but Samehada held in Susanoo's hand was like an adult holding a toothpick.

A surge of heat flowed from the hilt of Samehada, intending to enter Susanoo's body.

Uchiha Tokumitsu had a sudden thought. He used his mind to control Susanoo to break away from Samehada's defenses, and then a stream of heat flowed into Susanoo's body, completely replenishing the damage to its chakra body.

Even Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that his chakra had recovered considerably.

"What a well-behaved little darling..."

Susanoo held Samehada in its palm and continued its attack on the completely collapsing Kirigakure army.

Chapter 141 Pursuit of the Exiles

After Suigetsu Hozuki was burned to a crisp by Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo, the Kirigakure ninja army, which was still in a state of fierce fighting, began to collapse.

In particular, wherever Susanoo goes, a single sweep of its arm is enough to instantly shatter the Kirigakure army's formation, which was originally locked in a fierce battle with the Konoha ninja.

The morale of the Hidden Mist Ninja Army is just that unpredictable.

Just like in the Battle of the Vortex, after the master was killed by Hatake Sakumo, the Kirigakure ninja army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, immediately collapsed and fled.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake's feelings were also very complicated.

Before the decisive battle began, he had already prepared to go all out, striving to defeat Kirigakure's army of Kisame Hozuki in the shortest possible time, regardless of casualties, so that he could lead his troops back to the Land of Fire as soon as possible to face Kirigakure's Second Army led by Yagura Karatachi.

However, although the initial casualties were indeed heavy, with more than half of the three ninja clan detachments that were first deployed to the battlefield being killed, the Kirigakure ninja army began to suffer a large-scale rout after Uchiha Tokumitsu led the Uchiha ninja army to attack the Kirigakure camp from the south.

The battlefield dominance that Susanoo demonstrated in ninja battles was particularly alarming to assassin-type ninjas like Sakumo Hatake.

"It's truly a godlike power..."

Sakumo Hatake involuntarily stopped his pursuit of the Hidden Mist ninja, staring intently at Susanoo, who seemed to be effortlessly hunting on the battlefield.

Honestly, if I were to face such an opponent, what methods would I have to deal with them?

Sakumo Hatake thought for a moment and concluded that his current abilities were of no use against such a giant.

Although the white fang dagger in his hand was extremely sharp, it would probably be like a tickle in front of such a giant.

Although Sakumo Hatake was not from a noble family with a thousand-year history, as the leader of the Konoha Jonin team, he had some understanding of the chakra giant in front of him after reading relevant documents.

Such immense power would inevitably consume enormous amounts of energy, making it unsustainable. It seems that only a war of attrition, a clash of extremely high-intensity ninjutsu, could create an opening…

"The power of bloodline transcends conventional concepts; only Lord Hashirama's Wood Release can rival the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan..."

"Standing behind Sakumo Hatake, Muramasa Nara spoke softly."

Hatake Sakumo glanced back at him, said nothing, but leaped up and chased after the defeated Kirigakure ninja army.

Nara Muramasa remained rooted to the spot, staring intently at Susanoo.

"It seems I miscalculated a bit..."

Nara Muramasa's words were both an explanation and a subtle attempt to sow discord between Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tokumitsu.

In his mind, two strong individuals could not coexist peacefully; they would not rest until one of them was dead. If he could provoke a rift between the two, it would be great news for the Nara clan, who were currently being tormented by the police department.

However... it seems that Sakumo Hatake isn't buying it.

……

At this moment, Uchiha Tokumitsu was already clearly feeling the soreness in his eyes.

He also knew that this was a side effect of excessive consumption of pupil power in a short period of time.

However... the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is simply irresistible.

The ninja formation that would normally require a great deal of effort and chakra to break can now be destroyed with a single strike using Susanoo.

As for those ninja tool throws and low-level ninjutsu attacks, they can be completely ignored.

Uchiha Tokumitsu began to understand why his clansmen were so obsessed with pursuing the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

For the Uchiha clan, who worship power, is there anything more worthy of worship?

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

With the amplification of the left eye's pupil technique, God Emperor Spirit Lord, Uchiha Tokumitsu controlled Susanoo to spew out a sea of ​​fire, burning the last remaining Kirigakure ninja army to ashes.

"call……"

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tokumitsu released Susanoo.

As Susanoo gradually dissipated, torrents of dark red chakra, tinged with purple flames, flowed back into Uchiha Tokumitsu's body.

The giant sword Samehada, which was gripped in Susanoo's giant hand, was then heavily sealed by Uchiha Tokumitsu and stored in a sealing scroll.

However, the feeling at this moment is far different from the power I felt when controlling Susanoo.

"In the end, flesh and blood are still weak and vulnerable..."

He hadn't felt anything before, but now that Uchiha Tokumitsu was back to reality from the feeling of unleashing his full power with Susanoo, he immediately felt his own weakness.

The mainstream of ninjas is ultimately the high-attack, low-defense assassin type, and Uchiha Tokumitsu is not a taijutsu ninja who specializes in the Eight Gates.

The Uchiha ninja under his command immediately swarmed forward, surrounding and protecting Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"You... there's no need to be so overly tense..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu knew that his clansmen meant well and were afraid that he would be ambushed because he was overexerted after activating Susanoo.

This blatant action didn't seem like a defense against the defeated Kirigakure; rather, it appeared to be a precaution against other Konoha ninja.

"The rift between the Uchiha clan and the village... has reached this point..."

Hatake Sakumo, who was leading his troops to hunt down the remaining Kirigakure ninja, also noticed this scene and felt very uncomfortable.

Although Sakumo Hatake was somewhat idealistic, he wasn't overly naive. Moreover, through his interactions with Tokumitsu Uchiha, he had come to understand the current predicament and ambitions of the Uchiha clan. However, the Uchiha ninja's overtly defensive mentality made one's thoughts wander.

"My will... will change all of this!"

Hatake Sakumo instantly caught up with a fleeing Kirigakure Chunin and beheaded him with a single strike, thinking to himself.

He will try to reverse the injustices within the Hokage lineage; he will also try to eliminate the Uchiha's misunderstandings about the village; and he will do his best to change the village's perception of the Uchiha!

Since the Uchiha clan is willing to fully support him, he will naturally repay them in his own way!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

A series of kunai shot down a Kirigakure ninja who was fleeing in disarray in front of Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake turned his head and saw an Uchiha ninja in a Chunin uniform nodding to him with a hint of shyness.

Putting aside everything else, even if the Uchiha clan was dissatisfied with the ruling Hokage lineage, they still fought with all their might for the village.

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo also understood the "dialectical analytical thinking of dividing one into two" that Uchiha Tokumitsu had mentioned earlier.

With the large number of Hidden Mist ninja inside and outside the camp wiped out, Hatake Sakumo also stopped his pursuit.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Hatake Sakumo sighed with a sense of sorrow and pity.

"This is war..."

Although he knew that such ideas did not conform to the mainstream ideology of Konoha ninjas, Hatake Sakumo still felt saddened by it.

When will ninjas be able to reconcile...?

Shaking his head to clear his mind of those thoughts that seemed to come out of nowhere, Hatake Sakumo slowly strolled into the interior of the camp.

"Sakumo-kun~"

Surrounded by a group of clansmen, Uchiha Tokumitsu waved to Hatake Sakumo with a broad smile, "We've won again!"

Yes! Victory has been achieved once again in the war!

A smile also appeared on Sakumo Hatake's lips.

Since partnering with Uchiha Tokumitsu, they have achieved brilliant victories in all the wars they have fought, thanks in no small part to the all-out efforts of the Uchiha Jonin in the Mobile Force and the strong support of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but feel ashamed of the random thoughts that had inexplicably arisen in his mind.

He actually had doubts about his ally for a moment!

"From this day forward, the majesty of Tokuko-kun will be renowned throughout the ninja world!"

Hatake Sakumo also smiled and exclaimed, "That chakra giant just now... was that the legendary Susanoo power?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Tokumitsu admitted it without hesitation.

The Susanoo's highly distinctive features make this kind of superficial information worthless to conceal.

"Truly the greatest power of the Uchiha clan..."

Sakumo Hatake was filled with emotion.

"This is nothing..." Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head with a smile, "Compared to our ancestors, we are far inferior..."

"Compared to Lord Madara?"

Sakumo Hatake asked with some curiosity, "They both have the Mangekyou Sharingan, so how can there be such a big difference?"

"How should I put it? Just like the difference between Jonin and Jonin might be greater than the difference between Jonin and Genin, the same goes for the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Tokumitsu made a somewhat inappropriate analogy.

Sakumo Hatake nodded seriously.

When Nara Muramasa, who had just walked over, heard Hatake Sakumo say the name of the man considered taboo in Konoha without any psychological barrier, and even refer to him as "Master" like the radical Uchiha, he felt his heart was about to stop.

The bond between Sakumo Hatake and the Uchiha clan is surprisingly deep!

Although Nara Muramasa managed to maintain his composure thanks to his excellent facial expression control, only one sentence kept echoing in his mind:

"I must report to the Hokage that Sakumo Hatake can no longer be won over!"

However, Nara Muramasa still greeted the two men in a 'ruthless' and gentle manner: "My lords, please give us your instructions on the next ninja army operation."

Sakumo Hatake's gaze fell upon Tokumitsu Uchiha.

Nara Muramasa's heart was filled with even greater turmoil.
