It can only be said that Shura Senju truly deserves to be called the reincarnation of Asura; he was personally given a power-up by the Sage of Six Paths.
After Asura —no, I mean, Shura Senju— entered the battlefield, the Uchiha's thunderous war machine seemed to have struck gold, and came to a sudden halt.
The once unstoppable army was abruptly halted at the defensive line, and the culprit behind all of this was none other than Shura Senju.
The Uchiha's fighting power was instantly diminished when they encountered Shura Senju.
Shura Senju's Wood Release has the ability to absorb Chakra, which rendered most of the Ninjutsu in the Uchiha army unusable.
If it weren't for the fact that the army still possessed gunpowder as a means of attack, the Uchiha army would have long since lost all its offensive capabilities and been pushed back.
Fortunately, the battle lines have been temporarily stabilized. Due to the presence of Uchiha Shura Senju, the Uchiha clan dares not launch an attack for the time being, but Shura Senju has also not taken the initiative to counterattack the Uchiha.
Uchiha headquarters, core office
Uchiha Takashi stared silently at the piece of wood laid out before him. It was wood sent back from the front lines for the research institute.
After the battle, the frontline workers painstakingly cut this thing down and transported it back to the family.
The moment Uchiha Takashi saw this thing, he knew exactly what it was: wood created by Wood Release, capable of absorbing a person's Chakra.
It possesses various properties such as sturdiness, but it can nullify most Ninjutsu simply by absorbing Chakra.
In current Shinobi World battles, Ninjutsu still accounts for 90% of the combat, while gunpowder is merely categorized as a new type of ninja tool.
The Wood Release's ability to disable Ninjutsu is essentially equivalent to crippling an army's offensive capabilities.
Uchiha Takashi covered his face with one hand, taking deep breaths while inwardly cursing the Sage of Six Paths.
I curse you, you sage! Hagoromo Otsutsuki! I curse your ancestors! How can you be so blatantly cheating?
So, Indra isn't your son, Asura is?
The Uchiha were raised by a stepmother, while the Senju were raised by their biological father, right?
Originally Uchiha Takashi only speculated and suspected, not entirely certain, but after the appearance of Wood Release wood on the battlefield, it was now completely confirmed.
The Sage of Six Paths essentially gave Asura's reincarnation a cheat code! And this cheat code is practically the most powerful one below the Six Paths level!
After all, Wood Release is the strongest ability below the Six Paths level, bar none. Even the Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is no match for it.
If Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Madara Uchiha Sharingan could have won, he wouldn't have gotten the Nine-Tails and still been Hashirama.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Uchiha clan currently has three Mangekyō Sharingan, making them seem incredibly strong; it all depends on the specific circumstances.
The only confirmed capable person right now is him, the clan leader. The other two are only seven years old; what fighting power could they possibly have?
Even if the two of them were capable fighters, if Uchiha Takashi were to throw them onto the battlefield in a ruthless manner, even if all three of them fought together, they would still be somewhat inadequate against Wood Release. Of course, this is assuming they disregard the mechanics of their Dōjutsu Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Wood Release's mechanism of consuming only Chakra to pilot a Gundam is still too underhanded.
This Gundam is almost the same size as the Uchiha Perfect Susanoo, and its combat power is even slightly higher.
However, Uchiha Takashi wasn't worried about being unable to defeat him. Although the reincarnation of Asura was powerful, the three members of his family were all incredibly resourceful.
No matter how powerful Shura Senju is, he's just one person, and he's just a monster with slightly higher stats and a better mechanic. But the Uchiha has three of them!
Judging from the Sage of Six Paths ' actions, he wouldn't intervene unless the Uchiha could forcefully overwhelm the Senju Clan.
He doesn't need to worry about the Senju Clan easily defeating the Uchiha; at least the Six Paths didn't grant Asura's reincarnation the ability to directly wipe them out, which shows that the Six Paths still strives for balance.
The Sage of Six Paths sought a balance between Asura and Indra, ensuring that the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan were roughly equal in strength, preventing either from being annihilated by the other.
"Damn it!" Uchiha Takashi cursed under his breath. Who would have thought that the Sage of Six Paths would suddenly appear on the way to execute the Uchiha plan, completely disrupting it?
"Clan leader..." Just then, an Uchiha clan member walked in, bowing his head and saying, " The Senju Clan is gathering a large army, intending to bypass our front lines and launch a surprise attack on our headquarters."
Uchiha Takashi suddenly raised his head, frowned, and asked, "Explain in detail."
The Uchiha clansman said, "According to the latest information, the Senju Clan's deployment to the front lines is just a smokescreen. Their main force has already gathered in the shadows, preparing to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters."
They seem to think that since our main force has been mobilized and the defenses in our family headquarters are weak, they are preparing to gather a large army and directly flatten our headquarters.
Uchiha Takashi burst out laughing after hearing this. "Where did Fū Senju Kaze's brain go?"
Leaving aside the fact that there are currently over 1,000 to nearly 2,000 people defending the clan's main base, just those three Mangekyō Sharingan alone are enough to give the Senju Clan a run for their money. Has Fū Senju gotten too drunk?
"Clan leader, what should we do now?" Uchiha clansman asked tentatively. Uchiha Takashi laughed twice and said, "Why bother with them? Since they want to launch a sneak attack, let them try."
The order is to send out all troops along the route, including patrols and guard units, and move them to our front gate.
The Uchiha clansman scratched the back of his head. "Huh? Why weren't they planning a sneak attack? Shouldn't we have just thwarted their scheme?"
Uchiha Takashi, too lazy to explain his plan to set up an ambush and wipe out the Senju Clan's 1,000-plus main force members, simply told his clansmen, "Never mind that, I have my own plans."
The Uchiha clansman scratched his head. "Oh..." He wasn't very bright, but since the clan leader had spoken, he might as well obey.
"Wait a minute!" Uchiha Takashi suddenly called out to the Uchiha clansmen who were about to leave.
"Is there anything else to say?" The Uchiha clansman turned around and asked naively.
Uchiha Takashi: "The fewer people who know about this, the better. You only need to tell Tatsu Uchiha this news, and he will naturally know what to do next."
The Uchiha clan members wore expressions of surprise: "Oh--" This reminded Uchiha Takashi of the kitten emoji from his past life.
Seeing his expression, Uchiha Takashi couldn't help but twitch his lips. "How many people were you just about to tell?"
"Hmm... the captains of the various units in charge... several senior officers, and those from national departments..." The Uchiha member silently began to count.
Uchiha Takashi sighed and rubbed his forehead. Luckily, he'd been careful. Oh well, from now on, he'd leave these kinds of things to the Nara Clan. Uchiha...
Uchiha clan member. "There should be about 20 people (#ﾟДﾟ)?"
Uchiha Takashi: "..." Let's forget about the Uchiha.
