Mere Trash, and You Dare Block the Uchiha?

Mere Trash, and You Dare Block the Uchiha?

The two sides were roughly evenly matched, both possessing Clan Leader Tier experts. To truly determine a winner, they would have had to fight without regard for any losses.

So this battle was destined to end without a result. Both sides hurriedly withdrew with their men.

The moment he returned to the clan, before he even had time to rest, news arrived that made Uchiha Tajima unable to hold himself back. He only wanted to pick up his blade and rush back to fight Butsuma Senju to the death once more.

Uchiha Tajima said with an ugly expression, "The Hagoromo Clan really is useless. They couldn't even withstand the Hyuga Clan's pathetic attack. If we didn't still have to deal with the Senju Clan first, I'd kill every last one of those useless Hagoromo fools right now!"

Uchiha Kuwajima said, "That won't do. We can't refuse to save them. Although those Hagoromo Clan fools aren't much use when dealing with the Senju Clan, we're still allied with them right now. The new batch of ninja tools we ordered is also being escorted by the Hagoromo Clan. With the Hyuga Clan attacking them, they may very well be after the ninja tools we ordered."

Only then did the other Uchiha clansmen learn that something had gone wrong on the Hagoromo Clan's side. They secretly cursed their ally's incompetence while considering how they should provide aid.

Not rescuing them was certainly not an option. Abandoning the Hagoromo Clan would alienate other ninja clans. The Uchiha Clan, whose reputation was already far from good, would find it even harder to secure allies afterward.

Uchiha Madara said, "Father! We have to save the Hagoromo Clan. It isn't merely to recover the batch of ninja tools we ordered. More importantly, we need to preserve the Uchiha Clan's formidable reputation. If we don't drive back the Hyuga Clan, other ninja forces will keep trying to provoke the Uchiha Clan again and again!"

The Uchiha Clan had to present an overwhelmingly domineering image to the outside world, with its fangs, blades, and weapons all exposed. Only then would other ninja know fear.

Everyone in the Ninja World knew that the Uchiha Clan was powerful and domineering. Under normal circumstances, it was best not to clash with Uchiha ninja.

But that fearsome reputation had been carved out by Uchiha ancestors drenched in blood. That was why the Uchiha had always been forceful toward outsiders. If an enemy provoked them, they killed their way over. Their goal was to slaughter every last one of them.

Uchiha Tajima said, "We must save them. Otherwise, our losses will be far too great."

"Me! Take me with you! They actually want to seize the ninja tools ordered by our Uchiha Clan. I'll make those Hyuga bastards understand what happens when they cross us."

"Clan Head! Take me too. I only awakened my Three-Tomoe Sharingan last month, and I haven't killed any Hyuga bastards yet. I'll use the blood of the Hyuga Clan to celebrate the awakening of my eyes!"

"My brother was killed by the Hyuga. Count me in for the attack on the Hyuga Clan!"

Seeing Uchiha Madara prepare to raise his hand and volunteer, Uchiha Jobu immediately joined Izuna Uchiha in pressing down Madara's raised hand.

Originally, Uchiha Jobu wasn't qualified to attend a meeting like this. But because he had displayed considerable talent, he was granted a place to sit here and listen.

Uchiha Madara said unhappily, "What are you two doing?!"

Uchiha Jobu said in a deep voice, "Cousin, we're not qualified to take part in something like this. We were allowed to go on the last mission because there was no chance that another major clan would intervene. But now that we're going to war with the Hyuga Clan, they definitely won't take us along."

Izuna Uchiha said, "Big Brother, don't forget that when Father isn't here, you're the core of the Uchiha. They can't possibly give you the chance to join this war."

Uchiha Madara slammed his fist against the floor in anger. He looked utterly unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Everyone had already reached a consensus: when Uchiha Tajima was absent, the older generation of ninja would regard Uchiha Madara as their core and continue leading the Uchiha Clan in battle.

It was chaotic. The average lifespan of ninja in the Warring States Era did not exceed fifteen years.

Many young ninja died on missions when they were seven or eight years old. Before they even understood what life was, their lives were already over.

Ninja from major clans like Uchiha Jobu had it far better than ninja from small clans who had to risk their lives for a bite of food from the age of a few. They didn't need to worry about going hungry because there was no food.

Uchiha Jobu wondered whether the Senju Clan and Uchiha joining forces to sweep across the Ninja World, pacify this most chaotic Warring States Era, and establish hidden ninja villages had ultimately been good or bad for this world.

Soon, the Uchiha Clan's forces finished preparing and set out.

Uchiha Jobu and the other Uchiha who had yet to grow strong could only remain behind in the clan territory, waiting for the deployed clansmen to return.

At the training ground, Uchiha Madara vented his frustration. The young Uchiha nearby did not dare approach him in the slightest and could only stare blankly at his raging figure.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha forces had not even reached the Hagoromo Clan's territory when they encountered an enemy ambush.

Several raging fire dragons swept up flames that devoured everything in every direction, blocking the Uchiha Clan's path forward.

Besides the raging flames, there were walls formed from earth and disorderly traps hidden underground.

Uchiha Hato said, "Damn it! So not only are the Hyuga involved, but the Sarutobi Clan actually dares to attack our Uchiha too. Any stray mutt really thinks it can jump out now!"

The Sarutobi Clan was not especially formidable in the Ninja World, but it had quite a reputation. Many ninja knew that the Sarutobi Clan excelled at the five elemental releases. While unleashing flame attacks, they could alter the terrain, or summon savage water dragons.

Uchiha Kuwajima instantly activated his Sharingan. The tomoe in his eyes spun and chased one another at high speed. With his dynamic vision, he immediately spotted the enemy figures concealed within the flames.

"Playing with fire in front of the Uchiha? Are you looking to die?!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Competing with the Uchiha Clan in fire-style ninjutsu was a laughable joke in the Ninja World.

Everyone knew that the Uchiha were masters of fire.

"Not good! Quickly, use ninjutsu to defend!"

The Sarutobi Clan ninja hurriedly used ninjutsu to defend themselves.

If the flames unleashed by the Sarutobi Clan could be used to cook food, then fire-style ninjutsu wielded by Uchiha ninja could burn everything to ashes.

"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar!"

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Wall!"

Several Sarutobi Clan ninja joined forces, using both Water Release and Earth Release, and only then barely managed to block the fierce flames crashing toward them.

The fire was truly enormous.

Thankfully, several of them had joined forces. One person alone truly could not have stopped it.

"Sorry, but could you Uchiha gentlemen please wait here for a little while? Just one hour will be enough."

The speaker was the current clan head of the Sarutobi Clan.

As the Sarutobi clan head appeared, the rest of the Sarutobi Clan also revealed themselves. There were more than thirty ninja in total.

For a clan of the Sarutobi Clan's size, they had only around seventy or eighty ninja altogether. More than thirty had appeared here, which was practically the Sarutobi Clan preparing to fight for its life.

Uchiha Tajima raised his head, his cold eyes looking down upon them. The aura of a powerful man became a storm that swept in every direction. He raised the Uchiha Gunbai in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Mere trash, and you dare block the Uchiha's path? Are you seeking the destruction of your clan?"
