Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 57 Shuo Mao's Strength

Seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the sun has set, and night is gradually covering over.At this time, the street has begun to become deserted. Due to the more frequent conflicts in various countries recently, the impact on trade routes has become greater and greater. The large caravans that could be seen everywhere have also rapidly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Konoha There are also more and more ninjas recruited by the village to go out to garrison, so the streets are much deserted.

The impact of war is not only death, but also one of the traumas of war is the decline and loneliness in business.

Compared with the streets of the village, the Uchiha land is much deserted at this time.

Hand burn workshop.

This is a small restaurant opened by an ordinary old Uchiha couple in the clan area. It originally mainly engaged in light meals such as pancakes. Recently, it has added sushi, roasted birds and other businesses, and can also provide dine-in booths. Therefore, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan also came more frequently.

Although the merchants in the commercial street of the village dare not show any disrespect to the Uchihas of the police department, even the Uchihas feel quite uncomfortable eating and drinking under the attitude of others trembling and fearful, so more They will be relatively more willing to spend at the merchants in the clan area.

The paper lantern hanging at the door emits a soft orange light, and the three big black characters of hand-burning workshop printed on the lantern are particularly eye-catching.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu came to the door of the store, the enthusiastic owner Uchiha Teyaki and his wife Uchiha Japonica greeted him warmly.

"Master Deguang, welcome to come~"

"Good evening, Uncle Teyaki." Tokumitsu Uchiha greeted the two politely, and did not show contempt because they were ordinary people. "I have an appointment with my cousin Fuyue, has he arrived?"

"The young patriarch has arrived, please follow me." Uncle Teyaki enthusiastically introduced Uchiha Tokumitsu into a compartment in the room.

Pushing open the door and entering, Uchiha Fugaku was already sitting upright drinking tea.

From the point of view of etiquette, Uchiha Fugaku performed impeccably.

At least, 'Shen Du' he did it.

……

"This matter really needs to be discussed with Elder Setsuna."

Tokuko Uchiha sucked and ate the ramen made by Uncle Teiyaki. It tasted good and the soup was very good, not worse than Ichiraku's ramen.

"Why? The position of deputy commander of the mobile unit is a rare and real position. Would Elder Setsuna still disagree?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned, acting a little annoyed, "Or is it that you don't have enough subordinates, Tokumitsu-kun? I can send someone to you."

"It has nothing to do with manpower." Uchiha Tokumitsu ate ramen and tempura by himself. He said that the fried food produced by Uncle Handyaki was really good. He ate very happily. Let’s discuss it with the old man, it’s not wrong.”

The difference between the two comes from the treatment of Uchiha Tokumitsu's upcoming position as the deputy commander of the mobile unit and the transfer of twelve Uchiha jounin to join the mobile unit.

Uchiha Tokumitsu obviously showed little enthusiasm, while Uchiha Fugaku paid special attention to it.

In the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, this so-called new ninja army, which is likely to be used to consume the vitality of the Uchiha clan, has little power and responsibility, and is a tough nut to crack; but in Uchiha Fugaku's view , but it is a springboard for the Uchiha clan to gain more rights.

"I don't have the right to manipulate the freedom of any clansman, especially a jounin. That's an insult to his strength and dignity." Sushi and sashimi are also very good, Uchiha Tokumitsu's chopsticks can't stop, It's just a pity that due to the somewhat ridiculous ban on alcoholic beverages, Uncle Tesho didn't sell alcohol to this underage Jonin, "Even Hokage, you can't restrict a Jonin's actions at will, even in wartime Recruitment also requires the adoption of a resolution by the Jōnin Conference before the mandatory recruitment can be issued, not to mention that the Jōnin of the family should be transferred to this ninja army that is destined to perform dangerous missions."

This is also a long-standing paradox within Konoha.

As the highest-ranking title of ninja, jounin is naturally a commander above the ninja squadron level and has a transcendent status. However, since the third generation came to power, he has been committed to strengthening the power of the Naruto Building. The status of jounin has been weakened. The Uchiha clan is often suppressed, especially the Uchiha clan, which is already a target, obviously feels more and more constrained.

The turning point came when Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Homon went out to take charge of the northwest border defense force. Under the dual effects of timing and strength, the Uchiha clan easily obtained the benefits of the country of grass.The huge profits also stimulated the Uchiha people to pursue more opportunities to gain power and benefits more bloodily and urgently.

Uchiha Fugaku hoped that all 21 main ninjas of the mobile unit would be drawn from the Uchiha clan, while Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that it would be too many to have twelve jonin.

He was also thinking about tomorrow when he and Hatake Sakumo determine the other nine jounin, and see if they can draw a few jounin from the Sarutobi or Shimura clan to come in as scapegoats.

The meal with Fuyue was not pleasant.

Although the two did not break up unhappy in the end, they couldn't talk about getting along very well. It can only be said that the two parties had a sufficient exchange of views.

After saying goodbye to Fuyue, Tokumitsu Uchiha did not rush home, but packed another sashimi in Uncle Teiyaki's shop, and walked towards Elder Setsuna's mansion with his hands.

Compared with Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen and the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, he is still more willing to respect and accept the opinions of the elders.

……

The next day, after discussing with Elder Setsuna, Uchiha Tokumitsu reasonably obtained the transfer right of twelve Uchiha Jonin.

Although Elder Setsuna didn't pay much attention to the position of deputy commander of the mobile force, he regarded participating in the mobile force as a good place to sharpen his strength.

For the senior ninjas who survived the Warring States period, the strength of this generation of ninjas is relatively unbearable, and they seriously lack the test of life and death.

Uchiha Tokumitsu had no objection to this either. After all, the twelve Jōnin summoned under the orders of Elder Setsuna were militants of the Uchiha clan, and they usually performed various private special tasks for the family. He also regards joining the mobile unit as an opportunity to sharpen his strength, so it is not a violation of Jonin's wishes.

Therefore, when Uchiha Tokumitsu brought twelve Sangodama Jominin and Hatake Sakumo together, even the well-informed Konoha Shirato was amazed by Uchiha Tokumitsu's efficiency.

He thought it would take at least four or five days for the Uchiha clan to complete the recruitment of the Jonin, but he didn't expect it to be done overnight, and each of them was full of vigor, and it seemed that they were experienced veterans. Tolerate.

For the joining of the first batch of main ninjas, Hatake Sakumo was very excited.For a long time, the higher-level ninja combat force he had dreamed of and tirelessly planned to form finally got off to a good start.

Similarly, the Konoha Administration Department was quick to approve a garrison and training ground for the mobile unit, but they were all located in the forest outside the village.

There was no other way, and there was really no suitable place in Muye Village, where every inch of land was expensive.

As for digging the basement?

Don't be kidding, as a gathering place for ninjas, the lower part of Konoha Village has long been riddled with holes by generations of ninjas. Everyone likes to build a basement under their own house like a gopher. It is inconvenient to show it to the public. Over time, the tunnels are naturally densely covered with countless traps, and there is no room for such tricks as underground stations.

In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo preliminarily selected nine other jonin based on ninja information. He also specially selected two jounin from the Sarutobi clan and two jounin from the Shimura clan. A standing ninja that exists.

As for the reason, it is mainly because Uchiha Tokumitsu feels that the elites from Sarutobi Shimura must join, otherwise it feels incomplete.

After tossing until the afternoon, the personnel of the mobile unit were basically transferred in place. All the 21 ninjas in charge of combat in the establishment were all there, all the logistics and internal affairs personnel transferred from the Ministry of Government Affairs were all there, and the auxiliary ninjas were also transferred one after another. The entire organizational structure Start running.

The internal affairs ninjas from the Ministry of Government Affairs handled the base affairs in an orderly manner. Hatake Sakumo was particularly happy. After he was free, he felt itchy for a while, so he invited all the jouninjas to fight together on the grounds of their comrades-in-arms.

All the ninjas are naturally eager to try.

Although the prestige of 'White Fang' is well-known in Konoha, everyone is a jounin, and they still have a few hard skills. Naturally, they will not be afraid of White Fang like a tailed beast like other ninjas in Ninja Village. They all wanted to try White Fang's weight.

The result of the battle is to make everyone on the training ground understand the whole truth of 'the gap between a jonin and a jonin may be greater than the gap between a human and a dog'.

Two Jonin from the Sarutobi Clan, one Jonin from the Shimura Clan, and one Uchiha Jonin took turns to challenge them, but they were all defeated by Hatake Sakumo.

Moreover, instead of relying on all kinds of fancy ninjutsu, it all ended up being cut across the neck by Sakumo Hatake.

The simple and direct knife technique, coupled with the unparalleled speed and just right strength, seems simple but every point has been cultivated to the extreme.Konoha Baiya uses this to be invincible.

"Commander Sakumo, let me try it!" Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't hold back any longer, and he was also pleased with Lie Xin, so he took the initiative to challenge Hatake Sakumo.

Although the two have known each other for some time, they have not officially tried their tricks yet.

"Okay." Hatake Sakumo was also very happy.

Watching from the sidelines for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu also had a certain direct understanding of Sakumo's strength.

Simply put, it is a stabbing ninja with unparalleled speed.

Therefore, Tokumitsu Uchiha put his hands together for the first time, running the chakra in his body to refine and transform.

"Flame escape chakra mode!"

Deep purple flames enveloped his whole body.

Against Konoha Hakuba Hatake Sakumo, he would naturally not pretend to use the Uchiha-style swordsmanship. It would be humiliating for him to fight swordsmanship with far less experience in speed and strength.

Hatake Sakumo holds the knife in both hands, and puts on a posture of Yin. It seems that he does not intend to preemptively strike, but to wait for Uchiha Tokumitsu to make the first move.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was also polite, and quickly formed seals with both hands.

"Flame Escape·The Art of Dragon Fire!"

This fire escape ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha clan, after being restructured with the use of the flame escape chakra, its power has been improved to a higher level.

The huge fire dragon rushed towards Sakumo Hatake who was waiting in full force with irresistible speed.

At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was not idle, and he didn't expect to be able to achieve meritorious deeds with a single ninjutsu. He just used this B-level fire escape ninjutsu to test it out.

Afterwards, he continued to make seals with both hands, and groups of fireballs split from the flames of Yan Dun on his body, floating all over his body.

"Instant cut!"

The fire dragon came fiercely, and Hatake Sakumo, who had been waiting with his sword in the shadow, appeared in an instant, and slashed out countless slashes of extremely piercing sword light.

The sword light composed of Thunder Chakra cut the Chakra Fire Dragon into several sections with a thunderous gesture, causing a martyrdom explosion.

At the same time, the remaining momentum of the sword light remained undiminished, and it struck towards Uchiha Tokumitsu.

With such power, Tokumitsu Uchiha almost lost his mind, and his handprints almost got wrong.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

At a critical moment, Uchiha Toku came and used an earth escape ninjutsu in a hurry, which was able to block the sword light's slash.

Before he could catch his breath, Sakumo Hatake appeared five meters behind him like a ghost.

Uchiha Tokumitsu twitched his fingers slightly, and the fireball floating around his body shot towards Sakumo Hatake behind him like an arrow from the string.

Although this fireball is small, it is also composed of Yan Dun Chakra, and it also has a certain tracking function like the two-tailed tailed beast secret technique, Fire Rat Jade.

Hatake Sakumo was about to capture Uchiha Tokumitsu with a blitz, but the menacing fireballs made him stop for a while, and slashed the fireballs one by one with a knife.

He is not interested in forcing close combat against ninjutsu attacks.

Uchiha Tokumitsu let go of his hands and lowered them slightly, steel wires made by Uchiha crossed and shot to the left and right, forming a huge steel wire mesh in front of him and on the left and right of Hatake Sakumo.

"Sharingan · Windmill Art · Three Swords!"

With a wave of both hands, the dense steel wires tightened inward at the same time, covering Sakumo Hatake who was slashing the fireball.

At the same time, the Yandou chakra also spread out along the steel wire, igniting the steel wire to form a fire net to besiege Hatake Sakumo.

"Instant Cut Eight-Duan Strike!"

Hatake Sakumo, who was moving nimbly inside the wire mesh, kept waving his short knife, slashing left and right, cutting the wire mesh surrounded by three sides into pieces.

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't expect to be able to successfully trap Hatake Sakumo through this technique of manipulating ninja equipment. With a twist of his hands, he actively disconnected the wire, and shot out detonating symbols from the cuffs to float around his body.

This is the Flying Talisman Array he developed by combining the Forbidden Art of the Book of Seals, the Jutsu of Mutual Riding Detonating Talismans and Uchiha's Jutsu of Manipulating Ninja Gear.

"Okay, okay, Tokumitsu-kun." Hatake Sakumo yelled, "Stop it now, we're a draw."

Uchiha Tokumitsu heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and stopped.

With a move with both hands, the detonating symbols that were originally floating flew back to the cuffs one by one.

If you continue to fight, it will probably last a little longer.

With both ninjutsu and ninja tools out, Hatake Sakumo's attack could barely be stopped, and there was no way to carry out an effective joint attack.

But judging by his posture, although he is much more serious than Jonin who defeated other challenges before, he should not have shown his real housekeeping skills.

Of course, Uchiha Deguang did not use his ultimate stunt.

"Tokumitsu-kun is worthy of being an incomparable genius of the Uchiha clan!" Hatake Sakumo praised sincerely, "The power and timing of both escapism and ninjutsu are perfect."

"It's just... if the fight continues, the training ground will probably be completely useless..." Hatake Sakumo pointed to the surrounding environment.

In just two to three minutes, the training ground, which was originally in good condition, was blown up into potholes everywhere, and the lingering flames of the powerful fire dragon technique unscrupulously burned the vegetation everywhere.

"Compared to Sakumo's command, it's still far behind." Uchiha Tokumitsu put away all the detonating symbols, not satisfied with his fighting performance just now.

"However, Tokumitsu-kun." Hatake Sakumo blinked his eyes, "You have surpassed all your peers, your future is limitless, don't belittle yourself."

Uchiha Tokumitsu froze for a moment, then laughed.

The jonin who watched the battle around were also amazed. Hatake Sakumo's strength is indeed well-deserved, but the young Uchiha Tokumitsu is also tyrannical.
