Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

The figures of the man and the dog struggling to get up looked so disheveled.

Upon witnessing this scene, Gekko Zentsubasa's expression darkened. He was well aware of Uchiha Shoji's strength, but in less than a few minutes of fighting, his side had lost one comrade and another was clearly seriously injured, resulting in the immediate loss of two combatants.

They still acted as if they were completely at ease.

He didn't even use the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"The soul is pale!"

The tightly clenched lips were from accidentally biting through the skin with excessive force, causing a trickle of blood to seep out. The pain transmitted to the brain's nerves seemed to be a way to force oneself to calm down.

This was a difficulty that far exceeded my expectations.

Fortunately, the overall situation was in their favor. With superior numbers and terrain, Konoha's side, despite the fact that Shoji seemed to have single-handedly broken through their own defenses and given the Iwa ninja a significant advantage, was only temporarily in control. While he and his comrades were holding off the Uchiha demon, the Konoha troops on both sides had already regained the upper hand and launched a counterattack.

They just need to hold out a little longer until the Iwa ninja forces are completely routed, then they can concentrate all their forces to besiege Uchiha Shoji. Gekko Zentsubasa doesn't believe that Uchiha Shoji is strong enough to single-handedly kill all 1,500-1,600 ninjas in their base. Of course, Gekko Zentsubasa doesn't know that Shoji actually has such abilities. If he doesn't care about the cost or the consumption of his eye power and directly activates Susanoo, he can make up for the low defense that ninjas usually have. Before his chakra and eye power are exhausted, he can single-handedly break through the base, which has no quasi-Kage level or higher ninjas and only 1,500-1,600 people stationed there.

It really is a high-probability event.

However, the general will not do that.

It's really not worth it at all.

If such an exchange were to be made, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others would probably be very happy to see it!

Therefore, from any perspective, Gekko Zentsubasa's strategy is the right thing to do in line with the interests of Konoha.

However, there is a prerequisite: that Gekko Zentsubasa and his group can actually withstand Shoji's attack before the Iwa ninja forces led by Shoji are defeated.

And nothing unexpected will happen.

such as.

"Charge!"

"Surround and annihilate from both sides!"

At this very moment, the sudden appearance of four or five hundred Iwa ninja figures from the northeast side was a sight that Gekko Zentsubasa was absolutely unwilling to see.

This is the Iwa ninja unit that joined the battlefield at a crucial moment.

no doubt.

This was another detachment led by Akatsuchi to clear out the Leaf Village's detachment within the Land of Grass. Akatsuchi originally planned to stay on the border between the two countries to wait for Shoji to join him and for orders regarding the possible arrival of Huangtu. However, just as he arrived, an intelligence operative delivered a message that Shoji had directly led his troops to attack the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold!

Despite his surprise, Akatsuchi did not hesitate at all.

He directly led his troops to provide support.

This is the perfect timing.

This also dealt a heavy blow to the Konoha forces that were pressing forward to besiege them.

With their formation broken up, the Iwa ninja regained control of the battlefield!

The continuous stream of Iwa ninja further forced back the Konoha ninjas at the front line. As the space was constantly compressed, the expression on Gekko Zentsubasa's face on the opposite side became extremely ugly.

As the commander, he was not supposed to leave the central command position easily. However, the intelligence he had received indicated that only Jiang Si was leading four or five hundred Iwa ninjas. He only needed to arrange the attack strategy in advance. The rest was up to him to lead his most elite group of comrades to intercept Jiang Si and prevent this big boss from wantonly slaughtering his comrades on the battlefield.

In that way, they could use their numerical advantage to slowly squeeze out the Iwa ninja and gain the battlefield advantage step by step. But now that the enemy reinforcements have arrived, they are unable to immediately go to command their troops, and the severity of the battlefield situation is unimaginable.

But he was equally aware that if he wanted to leave, not to mention whether Jiang Si would agree, even if he could actually retreat, the battle would still collapse once Jiang Si was freed. In those few seconds, he thought of countless possibilities.

The more he thought about it, the uglier the commander's face became.

On the contrary, Jiang Si, whose expression had been slightly solemn before and who was somewhat planning to activate Susanoo to quickly break the deadlock and ensure that his own team would not be defeated, became very relaxed and calm at this moment. He did not need to rush to make a move at all. Now he only needed to keep an eye on the group of people opposite him, who were obviously the most elite squad in this Konoha force.

With their own strength, even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, it would only take a little more time; the fate and tragic condition of the Aburame and Akimichi Jonin are clear evidence of this.

"Shh!"

The katana was slowly drawn out.

A faint hint of coldness flickered in Jiang Si's eyes.

"Whoosh!"

A forward-leaning posture.

It was also at that very moment.

His body suddenly exploded!

Jiang Si's figure rapidly approached.

"hateful!"

As the moonlight gently entered her eyes.

This caused the Konoha commander's expression to suddenly become extremely ferocious.

"Spread out and retreat in formation, returning the troops to the base!"

This is a decision that must be made immediately.

While giving the order in a stern voice, Yue Guanshanyi also leaped forward and took the initiative to meet the general in the opposite position.

With the battle already out of control, retreating to the base offered a sliver of hope, while forcing oneself to stay and continue fighting meant certain defeat. Therefore, Zen-tsubasa knew very well that he had to stay behind to cover the retreat.

Delay the opponent's attack.

Only in this way can we cover most of our comrades as they return to the stronghold. As long as we have enough manpower left, we can still afford to delay. News from the rear indicates that the reinforcements led by Lu Jiu can reach the Wuyuan Mountain area in about five or six hours.

As long as we can get through this period.

I have not let the village down!

Please take one day off.

351. An unexpected hero!

The formation was gleamingly re-deployed.

The former group, led by Gekko Zentsubasa, was pressing forward again, while the latter group had two other Konoha Jonin who had retreated. Even though it wasn't clear at first, at this moment, Shoji was 100% certain that among the elite Jonin in front of him was the Konoha-appointed commander of the Wuyuan Mountain base. From the previous exchange, it was even more certain that the person was Gekko Zentsubasa, who was currently at the forefront.

'Ha, are you planning to go all in? I won't give you that chance!'

A chilling aura emanated from Jiang Si's brows.

"boom!"

A flipped blade.

Within his pupils were the Sharingan with tomoe spinning at high speed.

As they approached closely.

"whoosh"

First, he easily evaded the shadow bindings of the two Nara clan Jonin, and then moved to the side.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The handprint that quickly formed between the palms of the general.

The moment of gushing forth.

A raging inferno surged up, coalescing into a colossal fire dragon. As it roared, the space seemed to tremble slightly. The swirling, fiery dragon was under Jiang Si's mental control.

"Boom!"

The posture of forcibly rushing upwards.

In that frontal position.

"Crescent Moon Dance Slash!"

Moonlight Wings' eyes narrowed. As the blade suddenly shone brightly, three sharp blades of light cleaved apart, all of them directly attacking and intercepting each other. The moment they collided, they were met with a barrage of light.

'Shuh! '

They slashed down head-on.

The fire dragon appeared to have been easily severed.

However, after only that brief moment of stillness, the flames rose again, and the intense light that spread out seemed to be the dragon flames that had been split apart.

"spread!"

What comes into view.

Moonlight Wings' pupils suddenly contracted.

In the back, the Hyuga ninja who had sensed it beforehand also roared sharply a second earlier.

But this was clearly a step too late.

"boom!"

The scattered dragon flames.

A posture of further aggressive advance.

"boom!"

"Whoosh!"

Even though Gekko Zentsubou and the other Jonin at the forefront reacted very quickly, they were still inevitably struck by the dragon flames.

"hateful!"
