Uchiha's personal opinion

The already chaotic Kirigakure ninja army suffered even greater casualties from this blow.

"Fire Escape·Ashes Burning!"

Two Jonin Sarutobi joined forces to exhale a cloud of scorching ash, enveloping the Kirigakure army.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Shimura's Wind Release technique accelerated the formation of the ash cloud.

The wounded Kirigakure ninjas, lying on the ground, let out cries of agony as they were roasted by the intensely hot ash cloud, and soon all of them collapsed and died.

The remaining Hidden Mist ninja retreated and dodged, completely disrupting their formation.

"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Wind Blade!"

Before the still-shaken Kirigakure ninjas could catch their breath, a series of incredibly powerful high-level ninjutsu pierced deep into the Kirigakure group.

Another earth-shattering explosion followed.

Interspersed among them were countless detonating tags with bizarre flight trajectories, causing a series of chain explosions.

"Hold on!"

The commander of the Mist Village, who was completely disoriented by the fierce offensive that lasted less than two minutes, screamed hoarsely.

At this moment, he was extremely numb, and he only instinctively issued commands in an attempt to prevent his ninja army from collapsing so quickly.

From the thick smoke, a beam of white light rushed towards the direction of the Mist Shadow Commander's voice with overwhelming force.

A fierce and incomparable blade of light enveloped the commander of the Mist Village.

In desperation, the commander of Kirigakure brandished his ninja sword in an attempt to parry.

"Click—"

The ninja swords were severed at the same point.

"Such a fast knife..."

The commander of the Mist Village was stunned, and then felt dizzy.

The last thing he saw was a headless corpse with blood gushing from its neck.

"Konoha's White Fang..."

This was the final thought of the Mist Commander.

The sharp-eyed ninjas naturally saw the scene of the Kirigakure commander being instantly killed, and they also saw Konoha's White Fang rushing into the Kirigakure formation and wreaking havoc.

"retreat!"

Someone from the Hidden Mist ninja shouted something.

The Kirigakure ninja, utterly demoralized by the intense attack that lasted only two or three minutes, retreated at several times the speed of their initial charge.

They didn't care about cross-covering during the retreat; all they cared about was running faster than their companions and surviving these Konoha demons.

The mobile force pursued the Uzumaki clan's last stronghold for a while, then sped up and rushed towards the clan's last stronghold.

Time waits for no one, and no one knows how much longer the Vortex Clan can hold out.

After wiping out another group of six Cloud Village ninja outside the Uzumaki Village, the mobile force swept through the area as if it were deserted, heading straight for the Uzumaki headquarters.

"Chieftain!"

The Uzumaki ninja accompanying the group shouted at the Uzumaki clan chief, who was looking extremely surprised on the roof ahead.

"They're allies of Konoha!"

After rubbing his eyes hard, the vortex clan chief shouted with great joy.

After several days of continuous fighting, he had fallen into despair, hoping to perish together with the invading enemy. The arrival of the mobile force at this time undoubtedly gave him renewed hope.

In the Uzumaki Village, the surviving Uzumaki ninja also cheered.

"Sakumo-kun!"

After recognizing the members of the mobile unit, the Uzumaki clan chief leaped swiftly toward Hatake Sakumo.

"Old Clan Chief!" Hatake Sakumo hugged the Uzumaki Clan Chief tightly. "We're sorry! We're late!"

Both of them burst into tears at the same time.

"Stop getting sentimental!" Uchiha Tokumitsu interrupted the two of them bluntly. "Where is the invading enemy?"

"We just stopped our attack and retreated..." The Uzumaki clan leader awkwardly released his embrace from Hatake Sakumo, nodding apologetically to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "About ten minutes ago..."

Ten minutes...

The mobile force defeated the Kirigakure ninja army about twenty minutes ago.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the Hidden Mist Ninja Army likely withdrew voluntarily after learning of the defeat of the blocking force.

"Where are the Konoha Anbu? Haven't they come to the village?" Uchiha Tokumitsu continued his aggressive questioning.

At this point, he couldn't be polite anymore.

The retreat of the Hidden Mist Village does not mean a complete withdrawal of the entire army.

More importantly, the elite ninja forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure have not suffered much damage, and their strength is actually not much weaker than that of the mobile forces.

"...Because the situation was so urgent, I had them secretly take my granddaughter and leave," the vortex clan chief said with a hint of dejection.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned even more deeply.

He had thought that if the Anbu were still around, especially if Sarutobi Shinnosuke was still there, he could both increase the headquarters' fighting strength and kidnap the Third Hokage, who was far away in Konoha, so that he would speed up the dispatch of reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the Dark Division had already retreated with the granddaughter of the Uzumaki clan chief.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Uzumaki direct descendant who was taken away was none other than Kushina Uzumaki, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"call……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath.

"How much fighting power does the Uzumaki clan still have?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't bother with formalities and asked quickly.

"They're all here," the vortex clan chief replied bitterly upon hearing this.

Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at it and then closed his eyes to sense it.

There are probably about a hundred people left.

But their combat capabilities are unknown.

After all, the Uzumaki clan had been fighting against the combined forces of the three countries' ninja for so long, their condition couldn't be much better.

The Uzumaki clan was once a large ninja clan with nearly two thousand members. With the addition of ninjas from other clans who married into the clan, the clan had a size of over two thousand members and a staff of over one thousand active ninjas.

Now, only such a small population remains.

After entering the Land of Whirlpools, the mobile force successfully rescued several small groups of Uzumaki clan members who had fled, and guided them towards the Land of Fire. Behind them, the old, weak, and disabled soldiers of Konoha's eastern defense force were responsible for receiving them. However, even so, the backbone of the Uzumaki clan was completely broken in this battle. Even if some Uzumaki clan members successfully escaped from the Land of Whirlpools and entered other countries, it was not enough.

"What are the old clan chief's plans?" Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of being evasive.

The Uzumaki clan chief was taken aback upon hearing this, for he also understood the implied meaning in Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.

He glanced around at the mobile unit's operational jonin who were performing emergency bandaging, as well as the support ninjas who were busy healing wounded Konoha ninjas and Uzumaki clan members.

At this point, after repeated battles and casualties, only thirty-eight members of the mobile force had successfully entered Uzushiogakure Village.

Those who died or were injured were all support ninjas.

"Reinforcements..." The Whirlpool Clan Chief's lips trembled slightly, "...just you?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded firmly, while Hatake Sakumo lowered his head to avoid the tearful gaze of the Uzumaki clan leader.

"That……"

The whirlpool clan chief closed his eyes. "Abandon the Land of Whirlpools, and let's all evacuate together."

"Alright." Uchiha Tokumitsu got the result he wanted. "Then let's get started on the preparations."

The Uzumaki clan is a large and powerful family. Even if they decide to abandon the Land of Whirlpools and evacuate, they will still need to pack up their core data and items.

"The enemy is closing in from the east, south, and north!"

The ninja sensed a shrill scream.

"Enemy forces..." The Hyuga ninja's eyes widened as he scanned his surroundings. "Approximately 1,500 men!"

There are still four kilometers to go.

Uchiha Tokumitsu thought to himself.

This is the furthest observation distance this Hyuga ninja from the mobile unit has ever covered.

About five minutes.

Uchiha Tokumitsu fiercely wiped the sticky blood off his face.

Chapter 61 Bloodbath! The Evil Demon Rising from the Sea of ​​Blood

Four minutes.

This is a very stressful time.

Based on the continuous reports from the sensory ninjas and Byakugan ninjas, the formation of the Water, Earth, and Lightning allied forces gradually became clear.

The formation facing us was a three-sided encirclement with one side open.

From the perspective of Uzushio Village as the center, the main enemy force is the Kirigakure ninja army headquarters located in the east of Uzushio, with about 800 Kirigakure ninjas; to the north are the Kumogakure elite troops and some Kirigakure ninjas, with about 300 people; to the south are the Iwagakure explosive force and a small number of Kirigakure ninjas, with about 400 people.

Based on the intelligence gathered along the way and the feedback from the survivors of the Uzumaki clan, the total force of the three-nation allied forces deployed in this battle was approximately three thousand men. After the repeated battles with the Uzumaki Ninja Village and the losses suffered by the mobile forces during their reinforcements, the allied forces still had about two thousand combat troops remaining. However, only about one thousand five hundred men appeared here...

With a hint of melancholy, Uchiha Tokumitsu gazed westward toward the Land of Fire.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Hidden Mist Ninja Army, which has not appeared here before, will most likely be lying in ambush on their way back.

Due to the operational radius requirements of ninjas, in ninja battles, since the combat characteristics of ninjas are high attack, high agility and low defense, in order to facilitate the use of techniques and avoid friendly fire, there are very few large-scale ninja army attacks. Generally, they adopt a multi-wave tidal tactic, attacking the enemy's position through wave after wave of continuous strikes. The formation of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open is also conducive to the deployment of troops.
