"A bunch of fools! Do they really think we're in dire straits?" After Yukimichi Uchiha's spies obtained intelligence about the Sarutobi Clan, he sneered, "Now I can already see their demise!"
Although the Uchiha Clan is now surrounded by enemies on all four sides, seemingly with no way to escape, it is actually the Sarutobi Clan Uchiha Clan is trapped.
As Yukimichi Uchiha had said before, any Sarutobi Clan squad was just easy prey for the Uchiha Clan, unless they could arrive simultaneously.
But that's absolutely impossible. First, given the Sarutobi Clan's macro-level control capabilities, it's highly unlikely. Second, the Uchiha Clan can also move; how could the Yukimichi Uchiha be foolish enough to stand still and wait for them to successfully encircle them?
Yukimichi Uchiha's plan was simple and brutal: any single team that encountered them would be utterly crushed Uchiha Clan.
Then the Uchiha immediately took action, eliminating the four Sarutobi Clan squads from the four directions of east, west, south, and north in turn, thus destroying the enemy while on the move!
Don't get bogged down in the gains and losses of a single city or place. If you lose land but save people, you can save both; if you save land but lose people, you can lose both. This is something Yukimichi Uchiha learned at military academy, and once you understand it, you can apply it to the current situation.
Moreover, it's not just strategic; it can also be used tactically: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!
All of this was learned by Yukimichi Uchiha while studying military books at the military academy. It's worth mentioning that this book was compiled by Uchiha Takashi and was already a required subject at the military academy.
In Yukimichi Uchiha's view, although the 16 characters were useless, the preceding strategy was still applicable, and it was a good opportunity to test it out.
The Sarutobi Clan, however, were having a much harder time. Their four squads were huffing and puffing as they made their way to their designated location.
Because they were worried that the Uchiha would flee, their demand was that they go as fast as possible without considering their own energy expenditure, which put them in a difficult position.
The soldiers under his command could only burn Chakra to increase their speed, but even so, their speed didn't seem to increase much.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! If the Uchiha get away, I'll hold you all responsible!" the leading commander shouted as he sped forward.
As the Sarutobi Clan following behind him gritted their teeth and ran, he suddenly heard someone shout from behind, "There seems to be someone up ahead! Let's stop for a moment!"
Upon hearing this, the commander assumed it was just an excuse for the group to rest, so he cursed, "Where did this person come from? Are you blind...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, a black figure flashed before his eyes, and then his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
The one who Yukimichi Uchiha. He had been there for quite some time and, through observation, had determined that this guy was a commander, so he chose to behead him directly.
Upon seeing their commander dead, the support squad initially fell silent, then immediately descended into chaos.
"Oh no! The commander is dead!" "Ambush! Enemy ambush!" "Run!"...
Just as they were frantically running around like headless flies, they suddenly realized with horror that they were surrounded.
This group of people had already secretly surrounded them, and the encirclement was still tightening.
So the Sarutobi Clan, in their panic and desperate attempt to escape, huddled together, trying to find some peace of mind by sticking together.
However, this was exactly what Yukimichi Uchiha had hoped for. After seeing the Sarutobi Clan members gathered together in large numbers, he waved his hand.
A large group of Uchiha following behind immediately began to unleash their Ninjutsu.
" Fire Style: Ashen Earth Returns to the Abyss!" Yukimichi Chiha shouted, and all the Uchiha clan members behind him began to pour their Chakra into him.
As Chakra was channeled in, the fireball above the Sarutobi Clan ' heads grew brighter and brighter, finally exploding with a deafening roar.
Under the precise control of the Yukimichi Uchiha, the massive shockwave enveloped the Sarutobi Clan within the encirclement of the entire battlefield.
The massive explosion instantly wiped out the Sarutobi Clan Sarutobi Clan present, who were essentially a hastily assembled group.
Their strongest members are only a few Jonin, and there aren't many Chunin either. How could they possibly withstand Yukimichi Uchiha?
With the sheer power of this attack, even Jonin would be injured, let alone the already weak Genin; Genin who survived would be severely wounded.
Next, all that's needed is for the Uchiha to go in and clean up the mess.
However, the explosion immediately attracted the attention of the other three Sarutobi squads, and the commander in charge of overall command was also somewhat bewildered.
Such a huge explosion coming from the east... Could it be that the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan their encirclement and chose to break through from the east? Are they trying to escape?
He even pulled out a heavy-duty Ninjutsu with such a loud explosion, something he considered extremely Chakra- intensive.
The Uchiha Uchiha completely disregarded Chakra depletion, which shows they are making a final, desperate struggle.
All we need to do is have the eastern squad hold off the Uchiha Clan, forcing them to go and reinforce, preventing the Uchiha from escaping! Once the reinforcements arrive, we can completely wipe out this Uchiha!
Yukimichi Uchiha: Don't make your Uncle Uchiha laugh, it's still uncertain who's going to run away!
He hurriedly urged his squad to move quickly towards the direction of the explosion, determined to capture the Uchiha Clan!
The second explosion came from the direction of the ambush squad to the south.
Only then did he finally realize something was wrong. Wait, how long had it been since the explosions to the east? How come there were explosions to the south too?
Although he may be considered slow-witted and a complete novice in military matters, he still possesses the necessary analytical skills.
The explosion in the east had barely stopped when another explosion came from the south, meaning... the eastern squad had been wiped out.
Based on the existing information, it can be deduced that the heavy-duty destructive Ninjutsu used by the Uchiha Clan is not only powerful enough to quickly wipe out a small squad, but can even be used again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, he secretly thought to himself that things were going badly. He didn't know how many more times the Uchiha could use this kind of destructive Ninjutsu.
If the Uchiha can still use their abilities, then both of their teams are in danger.
According to conventional thinking, at this point he should be considering how to retreat and preserve his strength.
But a voice inside him told him that such heavy-duty Ninjutsu, capable of wiping out a small squad, consumed an enormous amount of Chakra.
Although the Uchiha Uchiha a considerable amount of Chakra, after using it twice, they would definitely be unable to use it any more.
After two major battles, the Uchiha Clan's Chakra is undoubtedly depleted, and everyone is exhausted.
In this way, with just one fresh force entering the fray, it wouldn't take down the Uchiha Clan in no time!
The commander-in-chief now faces two choices: one is to withdraw and preserve strength, and the other is to gamble that the Uchiha are now exhausted and to directly enter the fray to reap the rewards.
After a moment's thought, the commander-in-chief chose the latter. First, with two squads wiped out, if he chose to retreat, he would definitely be punished upon his return.
Secondly, if the Uchiha attacked again after they had recovered, he wouldn't have enough confidence to withstand the explosive and lethal Ninjutsu.
Personally, he feared being punished; collectively, he couldn't possibly withstand the blades from behind the Uchiha. From both perspectives, he had to see this gamble through to the end.
He can only gamble that the Uchiha is already in poor condition, and that he can simply enter the fray and wipe them out; otherwise, it's just a matter of one dying quickly and the other dying slowly.
All they can do now is hope that fate will smile upon the Sarutobi Clan and grant them final victory in the gamble; otherwise, they'll have no choice but to pack up and prepare to surrender.
