Uchiha's personal opinion

"I see……"

Helpless, Yagura Karatachi sighed deeply.

"Enemy fleet has entered main gun range! Expected to enter sea level visibility in three minutes!"

The warning sounded again in the command center.

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly to Hanzo the Salamander.

Hanzo the Salamander, who was already prepared, strode out of the cabin without saying a word, carrying his kusarigama.

"A salvo of torpedoes!"

Following Uchiha Tokumitsu's command, all seventy-two ironclad ships simultaneously fired torpedoes forward.

Countless torpedoes ripped through the sea, hurtling towards the unaware Mist Shadow fleet ahead.

"Sound the horn!"

"Waaaaah!!!"

Seventy-two ironclad warships sounded their horns in unison.

Suddenly, the silent sea was filled with the powerful and chilling sound of a ship's horn.

"Fire all main guns at once!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The main guns on the bow of the ironclad ships simultaneously fired huge bursts of flame, hurtling towards the direction of the Hidden Mist Fleet.

The sudden sound of the steam horn and the roar of the main guns startled the Fog Concealment fleet, which had been moving steadily forward.

The Hidden Mist Ninja's face turned ashen as he desperately activated his sensory ninjutsu in an attempt to scout ahead.

The Third Mizukage, who was resting with his eyes closed in the flagship of the fleet, had a livid face. He suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique to flash to the mast of the flagship and stared intently ahead.

Seventy-two enormous flames were hurtling toward the Mist-Hidden Fleet.

"Ninjutsu to block!"

The Third Mizukage roared angrily.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Some of the Hidden Mist ninja, having regained their senses, quickly employed ninjutsu under the command of their respective Jonin (high-ranking ninja) to attempt a defense.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

Some of the main cannon chakra shells were blocked by water-style ninjutsu, but some of the shells also fell into the Hidden Mist fleet, blasting the wooden ships to pieces.

“Uchiha Tokumitsu…”

The Third Mizukage gritted his teeth, his chest heaving.

"torpedo!"

Inside the radar room of the Hidden Mist Ironclad Ship, a Hidden Mist Sensing Ninja let out a shrill, desperate cry.

But by then it was too late to realize that the torpedo attack had occurred.

While the Hidden Mist ninjas were fully engaged in defending against the chakra projectiles, countless torpedoes broke into the Hidden Mist fleet.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The Misty Hidden Fleet's wedge formation was arranged with large ships on the outside and smaller ships on the inside. Under the torpedo attack, the large ships on the outer perimeter were quickly destroyed like eggs under a hammer. The remaining torpedoes continued to attack the ships on the inner side of the fleet with undiminished momentum.

"Back row, turn around! Front row, abandon ship!"

The Third Mizukage roared angrily.

Having dominated the ninja world for decades, this was the first time he had suffered such a blow!

For Madara Uchiha, who was arrogant all his life, this was like having a junior riding on his neck and pooping on him!

"Ninja Army launches waterborne assault!"

The Third Mizukage roared angrily.

The panicked Kirigakure ninjas, urged on by their Jonin comrades, quickly formed a combat group and charged forward across the water.

The Third Mizukage looked back at his own fleet, feeling a deep sense of anguish.

Although he didn't have much affection for the Hidden Mist he had taken, this blow still caused him immense heartache.

Apart from the ironclad warship beneath the Third Mizukage's feet, all the large ships surrounding the Hidden Mist formation had been completely destroyed.

"Uchiha Tokumitsu!"

The Third Mizukage, his eyes blazing with fury, briefly pulled aside a trusted aide and gave him some instructions before leaping into the fray.

The Shogunate fleet completely crippled the Kirigakure fleet's shipborne weaponry in just the first wave of attacks!

"Lord Deguang, the enemy ninja army is charging towards us across the water!"

The Uzumaki ninja's warning sounded again in the command cabin.

"Prepare for blasting according to the established plan!"

After saying that, Uchiha Tokumitsu used the Body Flicker Technique to appear on the deck.

At this moment, the shadowy figures of the Hidden Mist ninja began to appear on the horizon.

"Fire the artillery!"

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

The guns on the sides of the ironclad warship fired shells in unison, aiming them at the horizon.

"Gentlemen!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath and amplified his voice with chakra.

"Follow me into battle!"

"Victory!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to leap onto the sea surface in a flash.

The shogunate's ninja army, their morale soaring, charged forward across the water.

The underwater rain ninja force swam rapidly forward.

The ironclad battleships, continuing their voyage, slightly changed course, heading towards the flank of the Kirigakure fleet. Their main guns and volley guns continuously unleashed chakra shells, relentlessly pounding the approaching Kirigakure naval forces.

Summoning Jutsu: Two-Tails Matatabi!

As the smoke from the summoning jutsu rose, the two-tailed beast Matatabi, baring its teeth, appeared on the sea, carrying Uchiha Tokumitsu as it charged through the water.

Although the big cat dislikes water, and even more so the ocean, under the coercion and enticement of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the loyal Masato still obediently went into battle.

"Armored Susanoo!"

After being injected with the "Holy Particles" extracted from White Zetsu cells, Uchiha Tokumitsu unleashed his strongest technique without hesitation.

"Victory!"

The shogunate ninja shouted loudly again.

The already low morale of the Hidden Mist ninjas quickly plummeted.

Chapter 272 Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea: A Surge of Flames

The heart of the "Third Generation Mizukage" has already turned cold.

The morale of the opposing Shogunate ninja army was soaring, while their own Kirigakure ninja were devastated, and the Shogunate's long-range attacks caused an unknown number of casualties...

"Amazing! What an amazing junior!"

The Third Mizukage's heart burned like molten lava, and his killing intent toward Uchiha Tokumitsu was more intense than ever before.

"How could that incompetent brat Setsuna have the ability to raise such a person!"

Incidentally, Elder Setsuna was once again resented by the "Third Mizukage," or rather, by the man with the age spots.

"Destroy! Destroy as soon as possible!"

Madara Uchiha's killing intent surged, almost materializing and distorting the void. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the imposing Two-Tails Susanoo, which was leading its horde of enemies in a fierce charge.

The only chance for this battle is a clash of high-end combat power!

In other words, the duel between the old and frail Uchiha Madara and the prime-age Uchiha Tokumitsu was the core factor that determined the outcome of the battle in the One Piece war!

"It's a pity I didn't bring the Rinnegan with me..."

Madara Uchiha's teeth were grinding together.

However, with the amplification effect of the multiple White Zetsu spores attached to his body, Madara Uchiha was still confident that he could fight against Tokumitsu Uchiha's armored Susanoo.

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Salamander Enters the Dog Days!"

On the right side of the Shogunate ninja army formation, as the smoke from the summoning jutsu rose, the gigantic salamander Ibuki was summoned by Hanzo the salamander and broke away from the ninja army formation to attack the flank of the Kirigakure ninja who were charging into battle.

Salamanders are amphibious animals. Although seawater is not their usual habitat, they are still adept at fighting in turbulent waters.

With the addition of Hanzo's Water Release ninjutsu, the Salamander duo, each a one-man army, were the first to charge into the Kirigakure ninja's formation from the flank.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

"Salamander - Poison Gas Spray!"

Immediately, a wave of blood and gore swept up the flank of the Hidden Mist ninja.

Madara Uchiha casually dispatched a few Kirigakure Jonin to stop Hanzo of the Salamander's surprise attack, while he himself kept a close eye on Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was getting closer and closer.

"Three-Tails - Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!"

With a loud shout, the powerful tailed beast chakra soared into the sky, coalescing and manifesting into a giant thorny tortoise that crushed towards the Hidden Mist Ninja Army.

Under the constant coercion of the shadow clone of Dekkō, Yagura Karatachi had no choice but to unleash his strongest tailed beast form and launch an attack on the Kirigakure army.

"Three-tails! It's Lord Yagura!"

The sharp-eyed Hidden Mist ninja immediately recognized the giant tortoise.
