Uchiha's personal opinion

"Himon-kun, I'll go first." Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly drew his katana and said to Uchiha Himon, "I'll leave the organization of the third wave of attacks to you."

Before Uchiha Himon could respond, Uchiha Tokumitsu swung his sword forward and shouted, "Uchiha! Attack with me!"

He then took the lead and charged towards Iwagakure.

"loyalty!"

The Deguang Red Guards roared in response and charged forward, following closely behind Uchiha Deguang's steps.

In a short period of time, after suffering heavy casualties, the Grass Ninja finally allowed Sakumo Hatake to discover a loophole in the Iwagakure formation.

A streak of silver light shot out from the panicked Grass Ninja like an arrow into the Iwagakure camp, slashing left and right, beheading three or four Iwagakure ninja.

The mobile unit then rushed onto the Iwagakure position and began to suppress Iwagakure's desperate counterattack.

As Uchiha Tokumitsu ran, he completed the hand seals for the technique, and explosive tags floated around his body.

"Get out of the way!"

With a shout from Uchiha Tokumitsu, the mobile forces blocking Iwagakure's counterattack immediately leaped to the left, clearing space to continue tearing apart Iwagakure's formation.

"Spirit Communication - Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman Technique!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu threw out 10,000 explosive tags in one go, hurling them at the Iwagakure ninja rushing towards him.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

The continuous detonation of massive amounts of explosive tags not only reduced the Iwagakure ninja to ashes but also blasted a huge gap in the intricate Iwagakure earthen wall maze.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

The Uchiha ninjas' advanced ninjutsu began to expand their gains.

"Explosion Release: Great Explosive Grenade!"

Lightning Release: Lightning Spider Web!

The ninjutsu battle raged back and forth, with endless explosions.

Uchiha Tokumitsu formed hand seals again and activated the forbidden technique.

"Flying Talisman Formation!"

Explosive tags scattered and flew away.

This was followed by continuous and intense bombardment of various positions in Iwagakure.

As the attacking force, the Konoha ninja army did not have a numerical advantage, so Uchiha Tokumitsu had no interest in engaging in one-on-one battles with the Iwagakure ninja in their most proficient maze-like earthen walls.

So his strategy was to blow him up!

"Gentlemen, follow me and attack!"

Seeing that the first two waves of attacks had gained a foothold, Uchiha Himon, who was behind, immediately gave the order to launch an attack.

"kill!"

Nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas once again rushed towards the Iwagakure camp.

Konoha's resolute decision once again exceeded the expectations of Iwagakure's commander, Explosion Release: Hunt.

"Is there still a chance?" he asked the leech standing beside him, somewhat abruptly.

"Lord Hunter..." Hiru hesitated, "Continuing the fight is pointless, perhaps..."

At this moment, with Sakumo Hatake's silver blade flashing as its spearhead, the mobile force was attacking the Iwagakure command center where the two were located.

The earthen wall maze is the defensive fortification that Iwagakure is most familiar with and adept at. Its intricate tunnels and paths will surely disorient any ninja who rashly rush in, and they will be wiped out one by one by Iwagakure, who are familiar with the terrain.

However, this time, the earthen wall maze of Iwagakure encountered the unreasonable Uchiha Tokumitsu and an even more unreasonable mass of explosive tags.

The Iwagakure ninja, who had been deployed throughout the maze, lost their advantage in ninjutsu and were gradually wiped out by the Konoha ninja, who had a local numerical advantage, after their fortifications were blown up.

After observing for a while, Explosion Release Hunter nodded.

"Our tactics and command... are inferior to Konoha's." Although somewhat unwilling, Hiruzen still spoke up, "Although we lost this battle, the tenacious Iwagakure will surely..."

Explosion Release: Hunter waved his hand, interrupting Hiruzen's words, "No, we did not lose to Konoha."

"We only lost to White Fang and the Uchiha."

He then leaped towards Hatake Sakumo's sharp edge, leaving behind only the words: "You coordinate the retreat of all units..."

The various factions of Iwagakure began to retreat one after another, and the earthen wall maze gradually became more and more complicated.

Despite Uchiha Tokumitsu's continued bombardment, he was unable to slow down Iwagakure's retreat.

Even though they could sense Iwagakure disappearing into the earth, there was nothing they could do.

"Konoha's White Fang!" Explosion Release: Hunter, leading three trusted ninja, charged straight at Hatake Sakumo's blade. "Come! Fight me!"

Sakumo Hatake remained silent and continued to charge forward with his sword.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

Explosion Release: Hunting gathered chakra in his fist and swung it at Sakumo Hatake, who was swinging his sword.

Then, a blade shot out from behind his chest, gently twisting and completely shredding his heart.

Explosion Release Hunter slowly looked down at the blade on his chest, then looked up at the expressionless "White Fang" in front of him.

"boom!"

The "white teeth" in front of me turned into a puff of white smoke.

"Clone Technique..."

Burst Hunter's lips twitched, as if he was about to give a bitter smile, but ultimately he couldn't form a complete expression.

Sakumo Hatake coldly drew his blade and continued his charge forward.

Chapter 81 The Fall! Onoki's Fury and Mitokado Homura's Worry

Iwagakure's retreat was chaotic yet orderly.

Even with Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo leading the pursuit, the Iwagakure ninja, fighting and retreating, managed to escape most of their forces successfully, even as they abandoned their rearguard.

Although Iwagakure was defeated, the decisiveness and resilience shown by both the rearguard ninja who knew they were doomed and the Iwagakure ninja army during their retreat were truly admirable.

Unyielding and unwavering!

This is how the Will of Stone shaped the generations of Iwagakure ninja.

"After all, it is one of the five great nations' ninja villages."

Exhausted, Uchiha Tokumitsu wiped the blood off his sword and tore off the clothes of an Iwagakure body on the ground to wipe the remaining blood off the blade.

After chasing for nearly seventy kilometers, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo finally stopped.

The group of ninjas who had accompanied the assassination mission collapsed to the ground, panting as they recovered their strength and chakra.

"Iwagakure's disadvantage lies in their severe lack of elite forces at the Jonin level and above." Sakumo Hatake gave a fair assessment: "But at the Genin and Chunin levels, Iwagakure ninjas are significantly more capable than ninjas from other villages."

"The popularization of ninjutsu in Iwagakure is indeed quite good." Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in agreement.

"Let's prepare to retreat," Hatake Sakumo suggested, looking around and seeing that everyone had rested enough.

"Let's go back..." Uchiha Tokumitsu sheathed his cleaned katana. "I'm really exhausted."

"Fortunately, the result was good." Hatake Sakumo also smiled.

Although the final results have not yet been tallied, the two of them alone killed at least three hundred Iwagakure ninja during their pursuit.

Judging from the number of participants on both sides and the final results, the war against Iwagakure, jointly commanded by Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo, and Uchiha Himon, can be described as a great victory.

"Leave the rest to those who are willing to get involved." Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand to summon the Uchiha ninjas of the Tokumitsu Red Guard to clean up the battlefield. "The only thing we need to do now is to ensure that the fruits of victory are neither lost nor stolen."

“The village…it shouldn’t be that bad…” Hatake Sakumo stopped mid-sentence, sighed, and said no more.

……

This war, jointly planned and launched by Uchiha Tokumitsu and his two companions, had a particularly profound impact on the ninja world.

The blow to Iwagakure's international standing and prestige was also exceptionally heavy.

To avoid the enraged retaliation from Iwagakure, the Konoha and Kusagakure allied forces completed their post-battle rest and battlefield cleanup the day after the battle. After burning the Iwagakure camp to ashes, they began their retreat to the northern mountain castle within the Land of Grass.

At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu handed over the body of Iwagakure commander Explosion Release: Hunting to an Iwagakure prisoner and released him so that he could take his commander's body back to Iwagakure.

Rather than using the corpse as proof of war merit to have the ANBU dissect it and decipher the secrets of the Explosion Release technique, it would be better to return it to Iwagakure.

At noon, Homura Mitokado, the Hokage's plenipotentiary representative and Konoha advisor elder, arrived at the mountain castle in the northern border of the Land of Grass, having traveled a long and arduous journey.

When Mitokado Homura met Uchiha Tokumitsu, he was enthusiastically discussing the renaming of Yamashiro with Kobayakawa Daifu, the daimyo envoy of the Land of Grass.

The so-called northern mountain city is actually just an old city ruin that is already in a semi-abandoned state. In the past, it was mainly inhabited by some merchants who traveled between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, as well as a small number of herders and their families. With the outbreak of war, these astute border people have long since fled and disappeared.

"Good afternoon, Advisor Mitomon." Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted Mitomon Homura with a cheerful smile. "You've come at the perfect time. I'm currently discussing the renaming of Yamashiro with Dr. Kobayakawa. Why don't you take a look as well?"

As a person from a great country, Uchiha Tokumitsu was familiar with and longed for great achievements such as inscribing on Yanran Mountain and sealing the wolf's lair since childhood. Unfortunately, he could not cause such incidents to incite hatred within the Land of Earth, so he longed to do something fancy for himself on the border of the Land of Grass.

"Hehe... Tokumitsu-kun has such refined tastes." Mitokado Homura forced a smile.

"Fuyan, Shattered Stone, Soil-blasting, Hirosaki, which one does Mitomon Consultant think is better?" Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind Mitomon Homura's perfunctory attitude and remained enthusiastic.

"That doesn't matter... Tokumitsu-kun, if you have time, please convene a meeting of all the Jonin in charge." Mitokado Homura seemed a little impatient.

Before arriving at the mountain city, he first met with Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Himon at the garrison camp. However, both of them stated that the Ninja Army Affairs Meeting could only be held if Uchiha Tokumitsu himself was present. Since Uchiha Tokumitsu was not at the camp at the time, they suggested that the meeting be held at another time.

In his haste, Mitokado Homura couldn't wait any longer and, in a moment of panic, personally went to the northern mountain city to drag Uchiha Tokumitsu back to the base.

"How about breaking the stones? There are broken stones everywhere here, which is quite fitting," Uchiha Tokumitsu explained with great interest.

Although Dr. Kobayakawa was fully aware of the true meaning of the name "Smashing Stones," he had no courage to refute it and simply nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your help over there." Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Dr. Kobayakawa on the shoulder, looking like they were very close friends.

Dr. Kobayakawa bent over even lower.

"Advisor Mitomon, I'm sorry to trouble you to come to this desolate place."

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Mitokado Homura talked as they walked.

"Tokumitsu-kun, please return to the camp as soon as possible." Mitomon Homura didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said directly, "The military meeting is very important, please return as soon as possible."
