While Fū Uchiha's men were conducting a thorough investigation, Uchiha Takashi's side wasn't idle either.
The removal of 500 elite troops from the front lines has resulted in immense defensive pressure on the Senju Clan.
Especially after the Senju Clan learned of this news, they immediately organized a large army and launched a fierce attack on the front lines.
"Clan leader, just as you said, the Senju Clan has launched an attack. They are trying to use their numerical superiority to completely break through our defenses." A Uchiha clansman strode in.
Uchiha Takashi's hand, which had been tapping on the table, suddenly stopped. He then looked up and asked, "How many members of the Senju Clan have come?"
A member of the Uchiha Clan said, "Based on our overall assessment, there should be at least 800 people, possibly more than 1,000."
Uchiha Takashi smirked, " The Senju Clan... they're incredibly prolific! Our Uchiha Clan, even with all these other clans, has only raised a little over 3,000 ninjas in all this time. The Senju Clan only lost a little over 1,000 ninjas last time."
"It's only been two or three years, and they've already amassed over 1,000 ninjas? That's outrageous!"
A member of the Uchiha Clan: "Clan head, I feel that the Senju Clan is trying to match the Uchiha Clan's elite education with inconsistent quality."
Of the Senju Clan's current 1,000-plus members, over 50% are Genin (low-ranking ninja), making them far inferior in quality to our Uchiha Clan's army!
It's just that they look impressive on paper, but in reality, we probably only need 300 men to stop their attack!
Uchiha Takashi nodded. He knew that quality was more important than quantity in warfare, but he was still somewhat surprised that the Senju Clan could muster so many soldiers.
"Let's go, let's meet the Senju Clan and see what they're capable of," Uchiha Takashi said, disappearing from the spot just as he reached the door.
The Uchiha clansmen standing nearby were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened as they exclaimed, "As expected of the clan leader! He accomplished something I couldn't do with such ease. His speed is astounding!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Takashi's voice suddenly came from below. "Damn it, who dug a hole here? Holy crap! I just lifted my leg to get out, and damn it, I fell into the hole! Holy crap!"
Who the hell is so wicked?! If I find out, he'll be in big trouble!
At that moment, an Uchiha Clan who was holding a shovel silently put it away.
At the front lines, the Senju Clan repeatedly attempted to use Ninjutsu to create an opening, while simultaneously trying to deplete the Uchiha Clan's Chakra.
However, what's strange about the scene is that, in the past, it would definitely have been a back-and-forth exchange of Chakra, but now it's not like that at all.
All you can see is the Senju Clan constantly throwing out Ninjutsu to wear down the Uchiha clan, while the Uchiha enters attack mode, they continuously hurl gunpowder.
It doesn't consume Chakra, but you can't just not defend against it. If you don't defend, and this gunpowder explodes near you, you'll either be seriously injured or die.
So, if you're going to defend, then you'll be depleted of Chakra, while the Uchiha hasn't depleted Chakra. With this disparity, the Senju Clan's Chakra will definitely be the first to run out.
This is the underworld fighting style developed by Uchiha Takashi: a war of attrition. Whatever it takes, as long as it conserves Chakra, it's good.
However, the Senju Clan was certainly unwilling to accept this, so Shura Senju took direct action.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!" With a roar from Shura Senju, a giant dragon made of wood soared into the air and flew straight towards the Uchiha.
Upon seeing this, the Uchiha clan members on the defensive side immediately activated various defensive Ninjutsu in an attempt to stop the Wood Dragon.
However, the Wood Dragon's destructive power was immense. Relying on its hard head, it charged wildly, breaking through countless defensive Ninjutsu, and crashed directly into the Uchiha clansmen.
With a deafening crash, the Senju Clan members watched the scene with excited expressions. They believed such a powerful attack must have disrupted the Uchiha's defenses.
However, Shura Senju stared nervously into the smoke, because its Wood Dragon could absorb Chakra. If it were to actually crash into the Uchiha's defensive perimeter, it would definitely absorb a large amount of Uchiha Chakra.
But he didn't absorb any Chakra just now; instead, he felt like he had bumped into an extremely hard object.
Sure enough, before the smoke had even cleared, a giant black hand emerged from it, followed by a 60-meter-tall black giant slowly materializing from the smoke.
"What... is this?" The Senju Clan members who had come to attack were so shocked by the enormous Susanoo hardly breathe.
The same thing happened when those 1,000 Senju clan members attacked the Uchiha capital, and it's happening now too. It's a fear of enormous objects ingrained in their very bones.
Shura Senju bit his lower lip Susanoo before him, then roared, "Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Golem!"
With a clap of his hands, massive trees began to gather and intertwine beneath his feet, gradually forming a half-body wooden figure as tall as Uchiha Takashi Susanoo.
The Senju clan members, whose morale had been somewhat dampened by the Uchiha Takashi Susanoo, immediately rallied after seeing a colossal creature emerge from their own ranks.
"Charge! Lord Shura! Smash that black giant into the ground!" the Senju Clan members below cheered.
Meanwhile, the Uchiha Clan members on the other side cheered for Uchiha Takashi, not to be outdone. "Clan leader, charge! Give the Senju Clan a good beating!"
Inside Susanoo, Uchiha Takashi looked at the wooden figure with a solemn expression.
Uchiha Takashi had just attempted to activate the combined eye technique, Amenominaka, in an attempt to forcibly erase the wooden doll released by Shura Senju and plunge Shura Senju into a state of blankness.
As soon as the Dōjutsu was released, it was immediately blocked. A powerful Chakra directly prevented the activation of his ability, or more precisely, it directly broke through the domain he had constructed with his eye power and Chakra.
In other words, Uchiha Takashi's most powerful trump card was instantly neutralized by his opponent; the opponent was completely immune to his control skills.
Regarding Uchiha Takashi's discovery of the reason through the Minakanokan, the Wood Release Asura Chakra on Shura Senju's body was extremely vast, and it also carried a faint trace of Six Paths Chakra.
Unless one possesses an equal amount and level of Six Paths Chakra, no one can control him.
This prompted Uchiha Takashi to mutter under his breath, "Damn it, this Wood Release is really insidious; it's not even affected by crowd control."
It's no wonder that the reincarnations of Indra throughout history rarely used Genjutsu to control the reincarnations of Asura in battle, because the reincarnations of Asura are completely immune to control effects.
No wonder Madara didn't use Genjutsu when he fought Hashirama. It wasn't that he didn't want to use Genjutsu; it's that Genjutsu was completely ineffective!
