Under the well-coordinated and coordinated attacks of the Uchiha Clan's three-person team, the Hagoromo Clan was completely overwhelmed in less than fifteen minutes.
This was somewhat unexpected by Uchiha Takashi, yet it also seemed to make sense.
In fact, Uchiha Takashi didn't know the power of his Ninjutsu would be so great before he unleashed Ninjutsu. After all, he was just trying to mix in Senjutsu Chakra, and then he happened to encounter a thunderstorm.
This was his first attempt to unleash Chidori: Kirin using Senjutsu Chakra, and its immense power completely exceeded his expectations.
He thought this thing would be about as powerful as in the original story, capable of causing massive destruction to a place, at most leveling a small hill.
Who knew that when he unleashed his power, it was a completely different story? He cleaved a huge gap in the entire city wall, and even destroyed the city gate tower.
The fighting prowess displayed by the Uchiha Clan also exceeded his expectations; the three-man Uchiha team faced almost no pressure when fighting the Hagoromo Clan.
This seems reasonable, since the Uchiha previously adhered to a completely individualistic combat principle, and other clans followed a similar approach.
However, after the Uchiha Takashi underwent reforms, almost all of them began training in three-person team combat.
Furthermore, since Uchiha Takashi was a full-time ninja army, these squads trained and practiced with each other in their spare time. Not only did they develop coordination within their own squads, but they also formed three-squad formations that cooperated with each other.
The Uchiha, with their excellent teamwork and already strong individual skills, were further enhanced by a highly trained...
The overwhelming force was a hastily assembled, untrained army of the Hagoromo Clan, and their lack of coordination seemed quite reasonable.
However, the speed was indeed too fast. Uchiha Takashi's conservative estimate was that this battle would last for at least several hours, but who knew it would be over in less than fifteen minutes.
Perhaps this was because his initial Ninjutsu had completely demoralized the Hagoromo Clan. However, regardless of the reason, the final result was that the Uchiha Clan swept through the front lines and ended the battle within fifteen minutes.
"Everyone, rest for a while, clean up the battlefield, report casualties, and then quickly march on the Hagoromo Clan's headquarters!" Uchiha Takashi's actions were unexpected, but his skills were still impressive.
The moment he confirmed that the battle was over, he issued orders; after all, they were on a rapid deployment mission and time was of the essence.
Although this was already much shorter than expected, war doesn't allow for half-heartedness. Even though they knew the Senju Clan couldn't possibly receive the news in such a short time, what if they did?
On the battlefield, you can never be too cautious...
Soon, the casualty reports came in. Despite Uchiha Clan's complete and overwhelming victory, they still suffered a huge loss: fifteen dead and 36 wounded!
Uchiha Takashi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his emotions. "After we return, arrange compensation and employment for their families to ensure they can live a peaceful life from now on."
The Uchiha clan member in charge of recording nodded. "Is the compensation still based on the original standard?"
Uchiha Takashi shook his head. "Three times! All future compensation will be based on this standard! The Uchiha warriors deserve it!"
Actually, after Uchiha Takashi inherited the fortunes of the three major clans, he increased the Uchiha Clan's pension. To be precise, there was no pension before; the clans were only responsible for supporting the families of the deceased.
However, while the wealthy Uchiha Takashi established a full-time ninja army, he also set up a compensation system, so that Uchiha warriors who were killed or wounded could receive compensation.
The amount of compensation varies depending on the severity of the injury. In addition to a generous compensation payment, deceased Uchiha clan members and their families also receive a monthly allowance from the clan to cover their living expenses.
Prior to this, the compensation had already been increased several times, and now, Uchiha Takashi had raised it once again, increasing it from the original 200,000 taels to 600,000 taels.
As for why he did this, it was because he had witnessed the current fighting power of the Uchiha Clan; the Uchiha's current fighting power was extremely high.
The higher the combat effectiveness of an army, the less likely it is to suffer casualties, and the higher the compensation will be. However, this was not what Uchiha Takashi was considering.
He simply felt that such a low compensation was unworthy of the sacrifices of such elite Uchiha clan members; in his view, 200,000 was far too little.
But actually, considering the current prices within the Uchiha Clan, 200,000 is enough.
With the continuous supply from the Uchiha Village, the Uchiha Clan's basic needs were met. In other words, the prices of these basic necessities were very low, amounting to just the production cost plus transportation costs.
At most, with a small amount of labor costs added to the price, 200,000 yuan is basically enough for an average family to live on for a lifetime.
The Uchiha clansman in charge of recording didn't say much. In his view, it was all only right; every member of the Uchiha Clan was priceless, and no amount of compensation was too much.
"Oh, and we also captured quite a few prisoners, Hagoromo Clan. Faced with our Uchiha Clan's offensive, many of them chose to surrender," the Uchiha clansman in charge of recording suddenly said.
Uchiha Takashi frowned. "Prisoners? How many?"
The Uchiha clansman glanced at the numbers recorded in his hand and said, "About 100."
Uchiha Ten was stunned when he heard the number. "It's not over 100, it's 1/10! You only have about 1000 people in total, and you've already caught over 100?"
"Leave a few dozen tribesmen to keep watch over them; the rest of you, follow me and continue the raid on their main camp!"
However, complaints aside, since so many people have been arrested, we can't just kill them all now, can we? We'll have to make some arrangements.
Uchiha clan member. "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
The rest ended quickly, and Uchiha Takashi continued leading the remaining clansmen straight towards the Hagoromo Clan.
Meanwhile, Hagoromo, stationed at the main camp, was completely unaware of what was happening on the front lines. Thousands of people were still going about their business, oblivious to what they were about to face.
The Uchiha Clan moved swiftly and silently, attracting no attention.
When the Hagoromo Clan realized something was amiss, they were horrified to discover that the Uchiha Clan had surrounded them.
This time, Uchiha Takashi didn't stop the Uchiha Clan; instead, he directly ordered the Uchiha clan members to quickly step forward and end the battle.
The Hagoromo Clan had staked almost everything on the front lines, resulting in a shortage of ninjas at their main base. When facing the Uchiha Clan's attack, there were hardly any ninjas to be seen on the castle walls.
Those ninjas who remained within the clan were no match for the Uchiha and were precisely killed by the elite Mitsudomoe Uchiha.
The city gates were breached without any effort, and when the Uchiha Clan members poured into the city, what followed was a massacre without any suspense!
It's worth noting that although this was an extermination of the entire clan, it only targeted adult males of the Hagoromo Clan. Children shorter than a cartwheel and unmarried women were excluded, as were those who surrendered.
After all, Uchiha Takashi wasn't some weasel who would even kill a child.
As for why, Uchiha Takashi explained that these people are a valuable source of labor and strategic resources. To avoid doing these things out of fear of revenge is the mindset of a weakling.
Uchiha Takashi had already planned how to deal with the Hagoromo Clan: the children who were shorter than a cartwheel and the unmarried women who remained.
Those with Chakra should seal Chakra up; those without Chakra should not even be allowed to refine Chakra!
If they don't allow their own people to intermarry, they won't have any descendants. What's the use of hating someone your whole life? Who will avenge you?
If the Uchiha civilians who split off from the Uchiha Clan were to absorb and assimilate them with their sheer numbers, the Hagoromo Clan would be completely wiped out from the annals of history within three generations, leaving only the Uchiha Clan.
As for why they didn't Hyuga like that, what a joke! The Hyuga Branch Family is still around; they're not all dead. According to the Uchiha's plan, they kept a group of the Main Family Branch Family in check.
To completely annex the Hyuga Clan, the process should be gradual and subtle, not so forceful. This method of annexation is only suitable for clans that have lost their ninjas and have very few members left.
