Towards the end, Suke Uchiha's voice suddenly trailed off; he seemed to have realized something.
Good grief, is your Senju Clan trying to put on a show of wealth? You don't even have 1000 ninjas here! You're just making this up!
Suke Uchiha roughly estimated the average Chakra of the Senju Clan and the amount of chakra required for the defense, concluding that it should have only consumed the Chakra of about 300 ninjas.
"You Senju Clan, are you kidding me? They only have a maximum of 300 ninjas here, and you're talking about 1000? Are you trying to put on a brave face?"
Suke Uchiha immediately retorted angrily, "If I had known there were only about 300 ninjas here, why would I have bothered with you?"
Suke Uchiha jumped up and down, pulling his collar up to the highest point.
I originally thought that the Senju, like the Uchiha, wouldn't engage in empty talk, but now it seems that the Senju, a clan similar to the Uchiha, are just talking big, while only the Uchiha are truly committed!
To be fair, the Senju Clan is quite adept at faking their performances. Even though they're practically potatoes, they can still put on a sullen face and claim they're really into it.
Furthermore, the Hyuga Clan hadn't even noticed; it seems the Senju Clan's anti-spying Ninjutsu is quite effective.
But since everyone knows there's not much defense here, what's the point of saying anything?
Without a word, Suke Uchiha waved his hand, and the 1,000 ninjas behind him charged forward as if struck by lightning.
At this moment, the Senju clan members and 700 samurai inside, having exhausted their Chakra, were virtually indistinguishable from each other except for their physical abilities. They were utterly powerless against the 1000 rapidly charging ninjas.
After holding out for just a second, the city, like Uchiha Takashi being crushed by a great storm, fell.
Suke Uchiha didn't stay there long. After capturing the city, he immediately rushed towards the next town according to the planned schedule.
With the Uchiha 'Uchiha strategy of attacking from the center and flanking from both the north and south, their territory began to expand rapidly.
The main problem was that, faced with the Uchiha's relentless offensive, the Land of Fire's army crumbled like paper.
The Uchiha army had undergone long-term training and had ample supplies and logistical support, making their combat power formidable. In contrast, the Land of Land of Fire...
Despite being known as the greatest nation in the Shinobi World, the Land of Fire's army struggles to secure pay, and its logistics are frequently disrupted by Uchiha squads.
Furthermore, the Land of Fire did not prioritize building a samurai army, instead placing all its hopes on the Senju Clan.
This resulted in the Land of Fire samurai army's combat strength not being entirely nonexistent, but rather being equivalent to a mere five-star weakling.
In this situation, letters reporting the fall of towns flooded into the daimyo's residence like a torrent, reaching the daimyo's doorstep.
Looking at the letters before him announcing the fall of towns and the loss of territory, the daimyo's face flushed with rage. He slammed his fist on the table.
"What is the Senju Clan doing? What are they doing with the money?" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire angrily questioned the Senju Clan's representative in the capital.
"Explain yourself! Why? The Uchiha army roams my territory, but where are your Senju army? Where are your ninjas? Are they just sitting at home doing nothing?"
You Senju Clan keep talking about joining the Land of Fire, but judging from your actions, it's completely pointless. The Uchiha army is practically in my face!
Is this what you mean by the Senju Clan serving the Land of Fire to the death? What is your purpose then?
The Senju Clan leader standing below wiped the cold sweat from his brow, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency, please calm your anger. The Senju is large, but its military strength is indeed limited..."
"Excuses, these are all your excuses!" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire ignored him completely, pointing at the leader of the Senju Clan and cursing, " The Senju Clan is a bunch of useless trash!"
Besides this kind of excuse, what other excuses will you come up with? Insufficient manpower, inadequate logistics, what other excuses will you come up with? Are you going to wait until the Uchiha members are practically in my face before you start making excuses?"
The leader of the Senju Clan stood trembling below, a far cry from the image of a noble family from the Land of Fire. He bowed his head and said humbly, "Your Excellency, regarding the issue of troop strength, we truly have no way to deal with it..."
But the Uchiha doesn't have many troops, and their forces are currently scattered, which presents a perfect opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack..."
"I don't want your excuses! I only ask you if you can solve the Uchiha problem? Can you solve the Uchiha rebellion problem?"
The daimyo abruptly stood up, staring intently at the Senju Clan leader. "You only need to answer yes or no!"
The head of the Senju Clan immediately and firmly said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Uchiha problem will definitely be resolved. Please give us some more time."
These letters aren't the most important thing. Once our Senju Clan has mustered a large force and captured the Uchiha Clan's stronghold, everything will be fine."
The daimyo looked at the Senju Clan with some suspicion, wondering to himself, "Is it true?"
However, the Senju Clan's confident demeanor made him somewhat unsure. Perhaps, as the Senju Clan said, everything would be alright after they launched their attack.
Moreover, he had no one else to rely on besides the Senju Clan, so the daimyo had no choice but to trust the Senju Clan once again.
"Alright, since you've all said so, I'll trust you one more time. This time, you must completely resolve the Uchiha problem!"
Even if we can't completely resolve this, the Uchiha must reclaim all the land I've lost! I absolutely will not allow the Land of Land of Fire to fall into the hands of traitors!
If you still can't solve this, then you might as well commit seppuku! The Land of Fire will not tolerate such trash as you!
The Senju Clan leader nodded hurriedly. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely be able to deal with the Uchiha Clan. Just wait patiently..."
"Hmph... I hope your actions are as stubborn as your words. I'll see what you're really up to."
This time I will strengthen your logistics, and I will provide you with everything you need. That way you won't have any excuses to make, right?
"Thank you, Your Excellency. The insignificant Uchiha clan is nothing to speak of. Your Excellency is wise and mighty; before you, the Uchiha Clan has absolutely no chance of resistance." Upon hearing the Senju's words, the Senju leader immediately began to flatter him.
"Shut up!"
