Uchiha's personal opinion

"...This is a record that only Lord Deguang could achieve."

Fugaku Uchiha chuckled and ruffled Shisui's hair: "Furthermore, if we force a full-scale attack, we risk being surrounded by the enemy or suffering excessive casualties..."

"This is the final battle."

Uchiha Tokumitsu then spoke up, "Furthermore, these freaks are different from ordinary ninjas..."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Three days!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "Have the rear prepare more military supplies and strive to end the battle within three days!"

"In that case..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze fell on Yagura Karatachi, who was sitting on the ground panting. "Shooting five Tailed Beast Balls again tomorrow shouldn't be a problem, right..."

Yagura seemed to hear the angry curses of Isobu inside his body.

"Notify the front lines to hold their ground and begin a defensive posture! That's all for today. Have the rear send over explosive tags as soon as possible!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered again, "Keep the chakra heavy artillery units going, keep bombarding! We have enough explosive tags!"

"As ordered!"

Uchiha Shiina immediately bowed.

"Big cat, save your energy. If the situation changes, you can unleash one or two more Tailed Beast Balls to help out~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke to the Two-Tails Matatabi beneath his feet.

"You think it's just saliva? You think you can spray as much or as little as you want?!"

Nibi Matatabi grumbled and cursed.

"Spray one Tailed Beast Ball and you'll get a hundred beavers."

"Ok!"

Nibi Matatabi readily accepts good advice.

"Orochimaru-kun..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his gaze to Orochimaru.

"Your new snake medicine is going to come in handy."

"I've been looking forward to this moment for so long!"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and washed his face.

Whether it was love turning into hate or not, after being abandoned by Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru never had any good feelings towards snakes again.

At this moment, Orochimaru's heart was filled with a bloodlust!

Chapter 370 Bullet Screen Xu Jin

Fukasaku, the sage in charge of commanding the Greninja of Mount Myōboku, felt extremely frustrated.

Princess Tsurugi of Ryuchi-dong was no exception.

Although the Greninja frogs and snakes of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave have a numerical advantage, both sides are actually plotting their own schemes.

Ryuchi Cave hoped that the Greninja of Mount Myoboku would block the gun emplacements, while Mount Myoboku hoped that the Ninja Snake of Ryuchi Cave would fill the trenches; both sides were planning how to wear down the other from the very beginning.

Of course, that's normal.

The two holy lands have been fighting for who knows how many years. It would be a miracle if they could become close overnight!

The snakes in Ryuchi Cave, in particular, not only enjoy cannibalism, but also like to sneak up on their sentry posts and swallow a few toads for a taste; while the ninja frogs of Mount Myoboku are not to be outdone, and often take advantage of the ninja snakes when they are alone to fork them up and put them on the stove to roast.

And during wartime, it was even more outrageous.

After changing the previous ninja army's assault tactics, Uchiha Tokumitsu adopted the "barrage advance" tactic to bombard the area where the alien army was located.

Guided by the Byakugan ninjas of the Hyuga clan, a continuous barrage of exploding tag shells swept across the battlefield. Each ninja unit methodically cleaned up the battlefield only after the chakra cannons had finished bombarding it. Although this method was extremely costly, it minimized the casualties of the participating ninja units.

As for the traps set up in advance, even if they were ingenious enough to fool the Byakugan ninjas, they were all destroyed by the bombardment of the explosive tag shells. Therefore, apart from the traps being somewhat useful during the battles at the front lines, they were completely useless in subsequent battles.

Although the alien armies of the two sacred sites, Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, are stationed together and each has its own defense zone and tasks, they often remain unmoved when their allies are in trouble during wartime; they are indifferent even when the enemy's immortals give orders.

"We, the lineage of Mount Myōboku, only listen to the words of the hermits Fukasaku and Shima!"

Even in front of Jiraiya and a group of sages, the Greninja of Mount Myōboku still confidently brandished its steel fork and shouted.

"Of course, we will listen to what Lord Jiraiya says."

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the high-ranking members of the Otherworld army, Greninja quickly added a comment.

Jiraiya's expression softened slightly, but Tsutsumi's face remained ashen.

The tip of the steel fork being wielded in the Ninja Frog Grove was gleaming with a pale green light, a trace left by the blood and venom of the dead Ninja Snake from Ryuchi Cave.

So, there's no need to elaborate on what that annoying toad did.

However, the reason it could only keep its anger to itself was that it couldn't find any evidence, and Shin-ya from Ryūchi-dong went even further when he was supervising the battle!

Even though the toad was clearly refusing to help, from the perspective of command, as the goddess of Ryuchi Cave, she couldn't control it. She could only rely on the two hermits, Fukasaku and Shima, from Mount Myōboku to step in and punish it.

But hoping that Mount Myoboku will punish its own stinky toad is like hoping that Shinya will become a vegetarian!

"If things continue like this, we might as well figure out how to break through the barrier and go home!"

"Hime Tsurugi said with a cold laugh."

"It can't be broken."

Jiraiya shook his head calmly, "Apart from the talisman bestowed by the Great Sage, no other area-of-effect techniques can break through the Shogunate's sealing array..."

"This is a method of survival through desperate measures! There is no other way but to defeat the enemy in front of us!"

"I am Fukasaku," the hermit continued.

"Please, Princess Tsurugi, set aside your prejudices and act impartially."

Shima the Master continued to deliver the finishing blow.

"you!"

Princess Tsurugi was only saying it in anger, but when she saw Jiraiya's attitude and the two sages Fukasaku and Shima's expressions of deep agreement, she was immediately furious!

Okay!

So, it's actually my fault that my own ninja snakes were thrown down as cannon fodder by these toads?

Princess Tsurugi stamped her foot in anger, then turned and left.

"Jiraiya, what should we do..."

After Princess Tsurugi left, the sage Fukasaku asked with a worried expression.

"It's alright, everything is as expected."

Jiraiya remained calm and said, "Our casualties are still completely within a controllable range, and our supplies are also very sufficient. We can definitely fight a protracted war against the shogunate's bandits."

"Well... let's leave it at that."

The immortal Fukasaku intended to say something more, but then he remembered that this was a decision made jointly by the great immortals of the two holy lands, so he chose to remain silent.

"However, don't cause any more trouble in the future..."

Jiraiya's gaze fell on the Greninja that had been dragged over for "interrogation." "At least don't give anyone a handle to use against you. Remember to clean up any hunting traces, or it will cause unnecessary trouble..."

Jiraiya pointed to the green mark on the tip of Greninja's steel fork.

"Croak!"

Greninja responded somewhat awkwardly, then quickly pulled out a piece of snakeskin from his pocket and wiped the mixture of snake blood and venom off the steel fork.

"..."

Shima-sensei intended to say something, but then felt incredibly embarrassed, so he simply pretended not to see it.

After giving a few perfunctory reprimands, Fukasaku dismissed Greninja and left.

Then the man and the two frogs sat facing each other in silence.

……

"I've never fought such a well-prepared battle in my entire life!"

Luo Sha, who had just been withdrawn from the front lines, was beaming with excitement and boasted incessantly to the commanders of the joint counter-terrorism forces.

"You can only watch from the rear; you'll never truly grasp the power of the cannon's bombardment!"

"Those aliens had just emerged from the swamp when they were blasted to smithereens by the explosive tags!"

"Then the chakra cannon immediately extended backward, blocking the reinforcements of the aliens. The remaining ones can be dealt with with just a few ninjutsu!"

Luo Sha spoke eloquently, captivating the group of squad leaders who had never experienced a major battle.

However, the Jonin, who were directly under the shogunate's command, had seen more of the world and had witnessed the power of the chakra rocket bombardment during the "peacekeeping operation" when they conquered Kumogakure. Therefore, they were able to maintain their composure on the surface and did not go over to listen to the excitement.

But they were also secretly plotting to find an opportunity to ask their lord for permission to fight.

After all, such a good opportunity to earn battle merits is extremely rare.

……

"The morale of the troops is high!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu addressed the group of Jonin.

It was now the second night of the battle.

Under relentless bombing and brigade-level offensives, the alien army huddled in the swamp suffered heavy casualties, yet was helpless.

The cost to the Konoha ninja army was even more enormous.

Leaving aside the consumption of ordinary ninja tools, the number of explosive tags used to fill the chakra cannons alone has reached 1.5 million.

Meanwhile, Matatabi and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki are constantly being drained of their energy.

But the results were absolutely fruitful.

The casualties of the various ninja forces were less than a thousand, and nearly four hundred of them were nearly fully recovered and ready to be deployed in light-weight battles thanks to the medical ninjas who were trained in military practice. According to observable reports of alien kills, more than six thousand ninja snakes and ninja frogs have been killed by artillery fire and subsequent attacks from the advancing ninja forces.
