Soon, Uchiha Takashi mobilized a group of elite mobile forces from within the clan, sending them to the southern front alongside Yukimichi Uchiha and Dai Uchiha.
This batch of mobile, elite forces consisted of ten individuals with Mitsudomoe, plus fifty individuals with Two Tomoe, and several with Single Tomoe. Uchiha Takashi didn't even bother looking for those without Tomoe.
In Uchiha Takashi's view, wouldn't people who hadn't even awakened their Sharingan just be cannon fodder? What he wanted were elite mobile armed forces with combat capabilities.
Someone who hasn't even awakened the Sharingan would just be a Teletubby. The southern front only has Shimura; even if all the clans there attacked, there's no need for someone without the Sharingan.
The Uchiha has the strength and confidence to easily defeat Shimura with just these elite members who have awakened the Sharingan.
At the front-line command post, Commander-in-Chief Suke Uchiha looked at the cratered walls and felt a headache coming on.
There are many members of the Uchiha Clan who know lightning and fire Ninjutsu, but those who know Earth Release are a rare breed.
The clan is currently undergoing renovations, and many Earth Release ninjas from the front lines have been recalled. Therefore, even though the wall is pitted and crumbling, there's not much that can be done about it.
"I wonder when the family's reinforcements will arrive. Judging by the time, they should be here soon, right?"
Just as he was muttering to himself, an Uchiha soldier rushed over.
The soldier exclaimed excitedly, "Captain, Captain, reinforcements have arrived! It's the Second Elder of the clan personally leading the reinforcements!"
Suke Uchiha quickly reached the top of the wall. Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, many clansmen gathered around.
As the Uchiha Gunbai banners drew closer in the distance, the clansmen cheered.
"Look, it's our banner! The clan has finally sent reinforcements!" a clansman cheered. "I've been so angry these past few days! Once the reinforcements arrive, I'm going to go and chop down all those who attacked us!"
Suke Uchiha frowned, sensing something was amiss. Looking down, he realized it was the main entrance.
"Idiot, those are the enemy!" Suke Uchiha. "Have you ever seen the clan's reinforcements come from the main gate? Don't they all come from the north gate?"
Could it be that the family's main base is in the south? Why would they send reinforcements on a long detour all the way to the main gate?
Suke Uchiha's words immediately startled the other Uchiha clan members on the city wall.
"What the hell? How dare he impersonate our Uchiha!" a clansman exclaimed indignantly. "Damn it, is he looking for death?"
Suke Uchiha immediately gave the order, "Everyone, get into battle positions immediately! Since the enemy has delivered themselves to our doorstep, let's show them what the Uchiha are all about!"
As the period of the Uchiha Gunbai drew closer, the Uchiha clan members standing on the wall finally saw clearly what these so-called Uchiha looked like.
After seeing what these Uchiha like, almost everyone unanimously agreed on one fact: these were not Uchiha at all!
Although these Uchiha were carrying Uchiha Gunbai banners and wearing Uchiha clan robes, their overall demeanor was completely unlike that of Uchiha.
The Uchiha is the kind of people who look down on everyone, despise all others, feel invincible, and have an arrogant and unruly demeanor.
Even though these people are dressed in their clothes, you can still feel their guilty and timid nature. They are not Uchiha at all!
"These people are despicable! They wear our Uchiha clothes, but their whole demeanor is so cowardly. They're a disgrace to the Uchiha!"
Inside the army at the main gate
Uchiha Clan, dressed in Hito Dan Shimura clan attire, walked cautiously with each step.
A clansman standing nearby asked timidly, "Captain, won't the Uchiha people really notice we're impersonating them?"
Hito Dan Shimura glanced at the clansman and said with a hint of nervousness, "Don't worry, the Uchiha aren't that smart."
Once they see reinforcements arriving, they'll definitely open the gate and let us in immediately! Once we're inside, kill them all! And don't forget to gouge their eyes out!
The clansmen nodded, but still felt somewhat worried.
"Where's your spirit? Show some spirit, step out of the Uchiha!" Hito Dan Shimura said irritably, looking at his clansman who was cowering beside him, looking guilty and as if he had done something wrong.
"Look at me, I'm walking with a perfectly normal Uchiha!"
The clansman glanced at Hito Dan Shimura, noticing his hesitant steps and slightly hunched back; he looked like an old man whose spirit had been worn away.
As they drew closer to the Uchiha's castle walls, a clansman immediately shouted towards the walls.
"We... we've been sent by our families to reinforce you! Open the city gates immediately and let us in!"
The Uchiha clansman stared down with his Sharingan, then suddenly covered his face and burst into laughter. "Hehehehehehe..."
Before the people below could figure out what was happening, a large burst of sparks and lightning suddenly erupted from the wall.
" Great Fireball Technique! Fire Dragon Technique "
" Lightning Spear!" " Lightning Flash!"...
Various bizarre yet highly destructive Ninjutsu flew down from the wall and crashed into the disguised crowd below.
"Dare to impersonate us Uchiha? Your people probably don't know the meaning of death!" A furious Uchiha voice came from above.
"We Uchiha walk with the same gait as you, cowering and acting like thugs and bandits. What's the difference between you and us? To say you're pretending to be Uchiha is a disgrace to the Uchiha."
Upon hearing these words, Shimura realized that his pretense had failed, so he dropped the act and immediately ordered an attack.
"Damn it, since you've all figured it out, I'm not acting anymore! Clan members, charge! Take this front line!" Hito Dan Shimura shouted congratulations, then opened his mouth and spat out a large ball of hurricane shells.
" Wind Release: Great Storm Barrage"—cannonballs composed of raging winds flew continuously from Hito Dan Shimura's mouth, slamming heavily against the wall, sending debris flying everywhere.
"Pah! You're not going to act anymore? Well, let your grandpa teach you what Uchiha is!" The Uchiha soldier on the wall spat, then pulled out a whole bunch of ninja tools.
Shuriken and Kunai were rained down on them like they were free, leaving the Shimura climbing the wall below covered in blood.
Just as fierce fighting broke out at the front gate, at the back gate...
Two Uchiha used their Sharingan to keenly detect the movement in the distance.
A large cloud of dust was kicked up, and anyone could see that there was some unknown movement going on over there.
"Doesn't this look like our clan's Gunbai banner?" said a member of the Uchiha clan standing nearby.
Another Uchiha sentinel squinted and said, "These idiots... their scheme at the front gate has been exposed, yet they're still pulling these kinds of tricks at the back gate!"
Impersonating us Uchiha? That's disgusting! When they get close, I'll make them taste my fireball!
The Uchiha sentinel, who was standing nearby, first relayed the message, then crouched down, preparing to teach the man a lesson with his Fire Style once he got close.
