" Sadamoto, what happened?" Senju Toka looked up from the File and, seeing who the two people who had arrived were, immediately asked the one in the lead.
Upon hearing this, Senju Sadamoto, who was on duty in the Intelligence Department, immediately recounted all the information he had obtained, along with his predictions and level of certainty.
Upon hearing the descriptions given by the two people opposite her, Senju Toka frowned deeply.
Eighteen against ten...
After a moment of silence, she said to the Intelligence Department Senju, "Go and order the First Guard Large Unit to bring their supplies and come with me immediately."
"Order the teams on duty to prepare. If any more Uchiha leave the village, they should immediately proceed according to plan."
"Summon Mito Uzumaki to the Government Affairs Hall to oversee the proceedings!"
"Yes, Clan Chief!" After noting down the three orders, Senju Sadamoto hesitated slightly before bowing again and saying, "Clan Chief, should we send someone else?"
"You personally oversee the clan?"
"No!" With a wave of her hand, Senju Toka stepped out of her desk, picked up the long sword beside her, and said as she walked towards the door, " The Uchiha have all gone to see the clan head; how can I not go and check on them myself?"
"Stop dawdling, give the order to begin immediately!"
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the Clan Leader's Office!
The two who remained behind immediately circulated their Chakra and ran outside.
If the clan chief walks normally, it would take him about five minutes to walk from the Government Affairs Hall to the main gate.
They added Chakra, so it won't take them so long.
In other words, the two of them had to reach the front gate within five minutes.
At least two out of three commands must be transmitted!
Especially the first one, if they deliberately slow down.
They caught the enemy's guard team off guard and ended up getting caught.
Well... once this incident is over, the First Guard Team will definitely deal with them!
Outside Konoha.
The earth at the edge of the forest was broken, and the soil was constantly churning.
In an instant, a new forest covered the area.
Their roots and branches all came to life, constantly coordinating with the three squads to attack Uchiha Motohisa and his two companions.
But Uka Senju was also well aware of the extent of the situation.
Today's battle is to protect the Mangekyō; if we really kill the Clan...
Then the aftermath will become a major problem!
Of course, the clan leader would stay because of his status, but the others wouldn't be so lucky!
Superhuman Strength Technique
Bang--
One of the Senju was besieging the Uchiha Jonin the ground, forcing their target to use a life-saving Ninjutsu to escape.
Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique
Another Uchiha Senju was attacking the Jonin used his hand, which was covered in mud, to punch the Uchiha who had just landed after escaping.
Damn it!
He forced out two words through gritted teeth, and the Uchiha Clan Head's guard didn't have time to escape using Ninjutsu again.
They had no choice but to resort to the most rudimentary method: using Ninjutsu to enhance their physical body and withstand the attacks in front of them.
The enemy's intentions were completely seen through by his Mitsudomoe.
But he was facing three Senju!
Sometimes, even if you see through everything, what then?
He could only try his best to adjust his angle, blocking the attack while giving himself a chance to survive!
Bang--
Having taken a direct hit from a fist imbued with Earth Release, the Uchiha guard was sent flying backward.
Although he had adjusted his angle to avoid being hit by the Traps made of branches.
While still in the sky, this Uchiha was attacked by the third member of the Senju!
The Senju didn't directly use Ninjutsu to attack, but instead struck the opponent in the perfect position to dodge.
This Ninjutsu forced the Uchiha, who was still in mid-air, to make a choice.
Will they die immediately, or be caught by tree branches to fight for a sliver of life?
In fact, his best option at that moment was the all-purpose escape Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World, the ' Substitution Technique '.
Unfortunately, the moment Uka Senju's Deep Forest Emergence appeared, it destroyed all the nearby Substitution Wood and similar items.
Thus, this bodyguard of the Uchiha Clan Head became the first person to be eliminated in this battle.
Distracted by manipulating the tree world, Uka Senju used tree roots to strangle the Uchiha guard's hands and feet.
Then, it used tree branches and roots to wrap around and hang it up, and used the fundamental ability of Wood Release: Absorption!
The Wood Release, which can suppress Tailed Beast, is now being used on humans.
The moment the Jonin was enveloped, the wooden ball lost all resistance!
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
Having just arrived at the edge of the battlefield, Uchiha Setsuna shouted upon seeing the animated wooden object in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the Uchiha warriors who arrived one after another immediately formed hand seals.
When the last 'no' seal was completed, Uchiha took a sharp breath and used the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan towards the woods in front of him.
A flame left his mouth, and it rapidly expanded its distance with the distance.
It completely covered the small patch of trees in front of Uchiha Setsuna.
His Ninjutsu had just been released when more than a dozen identical flames shot into the deep forest.
A series of crackling and popping sounds followed.
The living trees, like people caught in flames, struggled to beat out the first wave of flames that seeped in with their branches.
Meanwhile, the nearby tree roots continued to grow and intertwine, blocking the second wave of more than a dozen flames!
The scene of the two sides vying for power was immediately witnessed by the observers at the Konoha.
Although they didn't know the specifics of the battle over there, they could clearly see the living trees and the waves of fire.
As a result, fewer people were at the gate. They needed to send this latest information back to the clan as soon as possible so that the Clan could respond accordingly!
As Uka Senju used Wood Release to fight against the Uchiha behind her.
In the battlefield before him, only the Uchiha Clan Head Motohisa, remained to resist!
The other two guards had now become oval-shaped wooden balls hanging from the tree.
"Speed up, resolve this quickly, the others are about to break in!"
Thanks to the perception granted by the Deep Forest Emergence, Uka Senju clearly saw the movements of the Uchiha behind her.
With this order issued, the intensity of the three squads' siege increased once again.
The Uchiha Clan Head immediately found himself on the verge of defeat.
Earth Release: Earth Spear
Lightning Release: Lightning Net
Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon
Water Release: Water Fang Bullet
Four unleashed Ninjutsu, three were covered in Senju Chakra Coating, and two used Superhuman Strength Technique to close the distance.
Within ten seconds of Uka Senju's order, the Uchiha Clan Head was bound and suspended by Wood Release.
Uka Senju Chakra, sensing the chakra absorbed by the three Uchiha through her Wood Release technique, leaped onto a tree branch, waved her hand, and led her nine guards toward the rear.

Before the two sides even made their way to the ground, the Uchiha's Shuriken were already being thrown towards Uka Senju and the others.
Knowing how formidable the opposing Clan was in this field, Uka Senju manipulated the tree branches to block all the Shuriken while simultaneously controlling the tree roots to sweep over the area to ensure that nothing strange was attached to the back of the Shuriken.
"We can kill this group. Be careful, and let us know in advance if you have any problems. I'll have Wood Release assist in the battle!"
"Yes, sir!"
After replying, the Nine, led by Kenchū Senju Kenchū, met the ten Uchiha who were charging towards them.
The reason this group was able to rush into the Deep Forest Emergence so quickly was that five of the powerful individuals among them cleared the way and drew away Uka Senju's attention.
He felt that he could handle the ten Senju Ninja who entered!
If they can buy some time, they can deal with the five Ninja who are entangled by Wood Release.
These ten Uchiha will then become fish on a chopping board!
" Clan Head Toka, Clan Head Toka!"
A middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes, with clear white eyes, finally arrived at the scene after jumping around on the rooftops for a long time, along with the sound.
He stopped to the side and in front of the Senju Toka Clan and asked, " Clan Head Toka, what's wrong with you?"
Why did I bring so many people with me today?!
He was taking a nap when he was startled by a series of messages.
So he hurriedly led his two guards out!
Along the way, they encountered the chieftains of the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans. After a quick and brief exchange, they proceeded with their tasks according to the agreed-upon plan!
He came to stop the Senju, Nara and Yamanaka led a team to stop the Uchiha, and Akimichi led a team to the Hokage Building to keep watch and ensure that these guys wouldn't make any extra moves.
Fortunately, he rushed quickly and managed to intercept Senju in time.
Although they had no idea what had happened over there.
However, tacitly suppressing the disputes within the village is a common goal of the neutral tribes!
After all, at this time of year, once the fighting starts...
They won't gain anything by remaining neutral!
"I don't know what happened, but so many Uchiha attacked my nephew."
" Hyūga Clan Head, this isn't the Senju causing trouble!"
Looking at the person blocking her way from the side, Senju Toka, dressed in Beige casual clothes and carrying a long sword in her left hand, sneered.
Upon hearing that the Senju was also unaware, the Hyūga Clan Head quickly said, " Clan Head Toka, you should know what the village needs right now. I'll go with you to take a look."
"As long as the Wood Release is intact, can we join forces to quell the battle and find out what exactly happened?"
"At that time, everyone will be clear about who is right and who is wrong, and then we can discuss how to resolve the situation!"
"If it's a problem with the Uchiha, then this time we'll definitely make them give us an explanation."
"How about this? Let's not take action right away, let's talk it over first!"
Because of all the mess in the village, he and the neutral parties like Ino-Shika-Cho really went to great lengths.
He originally intended to ignore everything and just watch the show, but as it grew bigger and bigger, he began to sense the determination of both sides.
If the two sides were to engage in combat, it would lead to Konoha being taken advantage of by the other four nations.
This so-called neutrality is utter nonsense! Whoever wants to be neutral can be!
He and the Ino-Shika-Cho also developed a certain understanding regarding this matter.
Both sides understand that maintaining this pressure is not a good thing.
Now all that's needed is a trigger—a chance for neutral parties to unite and fall together!
This is the only way to ensure that one side doesn't suffer significant losses after winning, Konoha can still stand strong!
And today's events made him feel that the opportunity had arrived.
If we can suppress this today, then it's really time to talk about their neutrality.
Otherwise, you'll always be caught in the middle, suffering from both sides – that's no fun at all!
"Let's talk about it later!"
Upon hearing the Hyūga Clan Head's suggestion, Senju Toka neither agreed nor disagreed.
After responding, she waved behind her and led her people toward the distant battlefield.
This time, the Hyūga Clan Head did not try to stop them.
After Senju left, he immediately ordered one of the Hyūga beside him, "You stay here and wait for the others to arrive."
"Tell them what has happened here, and inform the Nara Clan Head, suggesting that not too many people come out; just enough to be about equal to the Senju clan."
"Yes, clan leader!" A middle-aged man wearing Forehead Protector bowed and replied before turning and running towards the Konoha Gate.
After giving his orders, the Hyūga Clan Head, with a few guards empowered by Chakra, rushed to the battlefield!
Byakugan - Open
The revitalized forest is getting closer.
The Hyūga Clan Head then formed a hand Hand Seals in front of his chest and immediately activated his Kekkei Genkai.
A vein bulged on his previously smooth face.
The normal perspective has also changed!
When he looked toward the forest.
The scene inside made him glance at the Senju Clan Head beside him!
Was this... a plea for help sent to the wrong person?
The people around me shouldn't be Senju, they should be Uchiha!
Wasn't it said that eighteen powerful Uchiha escaped?
He could clearly see that there were only ten Senju inside.
Is it that the Wood Release technique has improved too quickly, or has the Uchiha truly faded?
" Hyūga Clan Head, what's the situation inside?"
Noticing the question in the eyes of the person beside her, Senju Toka asked.
She wasn't actually worried about her nephew's safety.
After all, she knew exactly how many people each side had outside!
She knew all too well what her nephew's current strength was like!
She believed her nephew was alright, but she was also worried about what might happen to the members of the Guard Unit.
If it weren't for this person stopping her, she would have already sent her men in to break through and take care of those Uchiha!
Sensing the impatience of the person beside him, the Hyūga Clan Head, knowing what they were worried about, quickly suppressed his surprise and said, " Clan Head Toka, don't worry, don't worry, all ten Senju members are alright, all of them are alright."
Upon hearing this, Senju Toka's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Meeting the Senju Clan Head's confirming gaze, the Hyūga Clan Head nodded, his tone tinged with a hint of unease, and said, "It's true, the Senju people are all safe and sound!"
After saying that, recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier, he added, "Let's just wait for Nara Clan Head; Clan Head Toka doesn't need to bother!"
It has been confirmed.
Senju Toka then waved to someone behind her, and everyone stopped a kilometer away from the revitalized forest to wait.
However, a few Senju still went forward alone and walked to the edge of the forest to investigate.
Although I believe the Hyūga Clan Head wouldn't dare to say anything reckless about such a matter.
However, without confirmation from their own people, the Senju present were left speechless.
The clan leader believes it, but the others will still be worried!
Seeing the actions of the Senju members, the Hyūga Clan Head dispelled his Byakugan.
They didn't take the other person's behavior to heart!
He hadn't had time before, so he took this opportunity to carefully consider the scene he had just witnessed!
