Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Watching his comrades fall one by one to the yellow earth, lying in pools of blood, Shikaku remained calm and composed, directing the battle from the center. Time was on their side; war was indeed such a cruel thing!

This was also during the most intense melee on the main battlefield.

Above the high points on both flanks.

The Konoha ninjas who arrived in a line clashed with the Iwa ninjas who were guarding their own troops' retreat route. Whether or not to pursue the retreating Iwa ninjas is a matter for later discussion, but the high ground on both flanks must be recaptured.

The person Shikaku arranged to lead nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas to launch a surprise attack on the high ground on the right was none other than Gekko Zentsubasa, the former commander of the Konoha Wuyuan Mountain base.

As the strongest member of the Gekko clan, Gekko Zentsubou possesses the strength of an elite Jonin and is also very experienced. It is only right that Shikaku entrusts him with important responsibilities. As the person who feels responsible for losing the Wuyuan Mountain base and causing the deaths of many comrades, Gekko Zentsubou is determined to kill all the invading Iwa ninja before this war!

The fire of revenge.

It can be said that this burning desire was ignited in the heart of this elite Jonin of the Moonlight Clan. In his view, his own village already had a complete advantage. With the Iwa ninjas on the other side having to withdraw their troops, when else would they strike while the enemy was down?

But sometimes, fate is just that coincidental.

Just as Gekko Zentsubasa led his troops to a high point in a fierce attack, they encountered even stronger resistance.

"Shh!"

That cold yet familiar moment when the blade flashed.

Those familiar scarlet pupils came into view.

"Uchiha Shoji!"

At that moment, Tsukikage Zentsubasa's angry cry rang out in a high-pitched voice.

Just after killing three or four Konoha chunin and genin who were close by, Jiang Si quickly located Gekko Zentsubasa's position. At this moment, Jiang Si himself was slightly taken aback, as he was surprised to encounter this former Konoha Wuyuan Mountain base commander and elite jonin of the Gekko clan.

It has to be said that it was truly a matter of fate!

Logically speaking, Jiang Si shouldn't be here. He should be leading another group of people to a more rear position to ensure the safety of the passage. However, Jiang Si, who has always believed that offense is the best defense, couldn't possibly be passively defending.

Shoji was well aware of the importance of the high ground on both flanks. Holding it for as long as possible would buy more time for his main force to retreat. As long as the high ground was not lost, it would be difficult for the Byakugan to track down the retreating Iwa ninja.

While the Byakugan can indeed perform 360-degree reconnaissance without blind spots, this doesn't mean it can lock onto targets from extremely long distances, ignoring obstacles. No matter how strong the Byakugan is, it's not that powerful. Therefore, what Shoji needs to do is take the initiative and use his superior strength to forcefully block Konoha's offensive operations in the high ground area.

Once the last batch of logistics and medical personnel have left, the remaining personnel, including Jiang Si himself, can carry out their operations without any worries.

So he took the most radical measures, and that's exactly where he ran into Gekko Zentsubasa!

"It seems this is fate, this Moonlight Lord!"

The three-tomoe Sharingan in Shoji's pupils slowly rotated, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"boom!"

The burst of chakra.

A surge of energy spread outwards.

Shoji's figure pressed towards the location of Gekko Zentsubasa.

A figure suddenly appeared.

An extremely chilling aura.

Seeing the rapidly approaching General, Zen-tsubasa's pupils also contracted sharply. He flipped and swung his Crescent Moon Blade, neither dodging nor evading, but meeting the attack head-on.

He knew very well that avoiding the enemy would only hasten his death, and that facing them head-on would give him a tiny chance of survival, since he wasn't alone; the surrounding area was filled with ninjas from Konoha!

Even though a considerable number of them were scattered to clear out the Iwa ninja in other areas, there were still three or four hundred Konoha ninja nearby, including many elites from various powerful ninja clans. If one person couldn't defeat them, Gekko Zentsubasa didn't believe that gathering more than ten elite Jonin and one or two hundred elite Chunin wouldn't be enough to stop them.

They'll exhaust Uchiha Shoji's chakra!

A gleaming blade hurtling towards us with overwhelming force.

There were also other Konoha ninjas in the surrounding positions who were launching a coordinated attack.

A hint of bloodlust flashed in Jiang Si's eyes.

"Shh!"

A surge of powerful lightning chakra erupted from his entire body!

It was another sudden surge in price.

360, Support and Fierce Battle

At the moment of stepping on the cushion.

The rapidly closing distance, the lightning flashing from the katana, and the sharp edge slashing down from above.

"Clang!"

Sparks burst forth.

A powerful force that is transmitted upwards.

"Well!"

This was a blow that was barely managed to withstand. Zen's arms were visibly trembling, and his face became extremely ferocious and crazed.

"Secret Technique—Shadow Assassination!"

The Nara clan Jonin who followed immediately unleashed their secret technique, their shadows extending rapidly, rising straight up to form a sharp, pointed point, a piercing shadow that hurtled towards them with a whooshing sound.

"The Art of Tooth-Clearing!"

In the diagonally rear position.

A Jonin from the Inuzuka clan, working with his ninja dog, unleashed a clan secret technique.

"Humph!"

General sneered.

"Shh!"

Although there was no time to use ninjutsu, the forceful pressure that followed caused it to sway away.

"Clang!"

"not good!"

The defensive posture collapsed in an instant.

"hateful!"

The central door was wide open.

Jiang Si's arm suddenly swung down.

Tsukikage Zentsubasa's expression changed, unable to respond, he could only turn his figure to the side with difficulty.

"Pfft!"

The blade plunges in.

This is the crucial point that was barely avoided.

But it was still a blade piercing through, and the cold sensation and excruciating pain it sent made Moonlight Wings's face contort even more.

"Lei Dun!"

Just as Jiang Si was about to use the Lightning Release technique to completely destroy the internal organs of this Moonlight Clan Jonin, the attack was already imminent at close range.

The general still needs to temporarily avoid the limelight!

A backward step.

"boom!"

He drew his katana and then kicked Gekko Zentsubasa's right leg hard in the abdomen.

"Wow!?"

As Gekko Zentsubasa was struck again, coughing up blood and flying backwards, crashing heavily to the ground, Shoji used the force of the blow to retreat explosively, easily avoiding the attacks from both sides.

"Earth Escape - Earth Thrust Technique!"

Then that is the mark that forms immediately.

They aimed at Moonlight Wings, who was already severely injured and collapsed on the ground.

"Crack!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Boom!"

With a sudden slap, Jiang Si...

"Splash!"

The ground that subsequently shattered was covered with a series of sharp stone needles that shot out one after another.

Earth Release: Bursting Technique!

Another Konoha Jonin, who was a little slower, also rushed to the position in front of Gekko Zentsubasa.

The marks formed quickly.

The ground in front of him cracked open instantly and then collapsed, blocking Jiang Si's earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique.

"Zen-Tsubasa, are you alright!?"

"Cough cough... Don't... worry about me, you have to stop them... Wow... Stop Uchiha Shoji!"

With a struggle to his feet, Gekko Zentsubasa was clearly much weaker, but he still showed a stubbornness as he spoke to his teammates in the seats beside him. He knew very well that as long as he could hold off Uchiha Shoji here, the remaining Iwa ninja would not be able to stop the invasion of the Konoha ninja!

Once the remaining Iwa ninja are successfully wiped out and the encirclement is complete,

This Uchiha Shoji's choice was either to flee in a sorry state.

Either we die here in battle!

Even after suffering severe injuries, Gekko Zentsubasa's mind remained incredibly clear.

"Yes, I understand! Kumo, Sazo, Jiro, cover me!"

This is a battlefield that cannot and will not retreat from. These Konoha Jonin who have quickly arrived in this area are not small in number (less than twenty people). Almost every one of them is an elite Jonin. As long as they cooperate well, they do have the power to confront and even kill ordinary Kage-level people!

Unfortunately, this time Shoji doesn't intend to delay any longer.
