At the front gate, the Shimura Clan, who had come to launch a sneak attack, were routed, their faces bruised and swollen.
"Holy crap! Are these Uchiha human? How can their fighting power be so high?" Hito Dan Shimura, hiding behind cover, watched the Fire Release Ninjutsu raining down on them, his scalp tingling with fear.
"How do these people have so much Chakra? They've used so many Ninjutsu, and they still have Chakra left. I'm completely out of Chakra."
Hito Dan Shimura swallowed hard. Normally, they should have been retreating.
But he was unwilling to accept it. Had he attacked twice in a row, suffering the deaths of hundreds of his clansmen, and still failed to breach the Uchiha's forward positions? That would be too humiliating!
Once he returned, he would never be able to become an elder of the family, or even the patriarch! He couldn't accept this outcome!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and steeled his resolve. "Charge! Anyone who dares to back down, I'll chop them down!"
Hito Dan Shimura made a complete decision to abandon all sacrifice figures; he didn't care about the number of casualties, he only wanted the Uchiha's front lines!
The tribesmen beside him stared wide-eyed, wanting to say something, but seeing Hito Dan Shimura's crazed expression, they swallowed their words and resignedly launched their death charge.
"Banzai!" A large group of Shimura, fearless and reckless, charged forward.
"Are these guys idiots? With such overwhelming firepower, they still dare to charge in!" Suke Uchiha sneered twice, then said to his clansmen beside him.
"Since they're so reckless, let's give them a good beating! Everyone, prepare your Fire Style!"
" Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation " " Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique "...
As a large number of Fire Style were unleashed, the sky was instantly transformed into a sea of fire.
The raging flames released intense heat, causing the attacking Shimura clansmen below to retreat in fear.
But soon, Hito Dan Shimura's reckless shouts rang out from behind, "Don't back down! If you dare back down again, I'll chop him down!"
Forced to charge forward, the group ran head-on into Fire Release Ninjutsu unleashed by the Uchiha!
"Thump..." The fiercely burning flames slammed heavily onto the ground, hitting the heads of every member of the Shimura.
"Ah, I'm on fire!" The group immediately descended into chaos as flames climbed onto everyone's clothes.
The intense heat burned my entire body with excruciating pain; in the blink of an eye, the ground had transformed into a living hell.
"Don't retreat! Charge! Take down the Uchiha!" Hito Dan Shimura was still making a last-ditch effort. "No retreating! No retreating!"
However, the tribespeople who were on fire didn't care about him at all; if they didn't run away, they would really be burned to death!
Large numbers of his people fled, and even though they were engulfed in flames, it couldn't stop his escape.
"Ugh, you all die!" Hito Dan Shimura immediately drew his sword and slashed at one of the fleeing clansmen.
The clansman who had been on fire immediately collapsed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
The surrounding tribesmen, however, acted as if they hadn't seen anything at all, and continued running wildly backward.
Hito Dan Shimura gritted his teeth, preparing to draw his sword and kill a few more people to establish his authority, when a cold light suddenly flashed.
With a sharp clang, the sword in his hand was severed in half, the broken blade spinning as it flew away.
"What?" Hito Dan Shimura turned his head, a pair of Mitsudomoe, scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at him.
"Uh..." Startled, Hito Dan Shimura quickly backed away, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and his body grew increasingly weak.
When he came to his senses again, he was already collapsed on the ground, a large pool of blood in front of him. It turned out that he had been stabbed in the throat the moment their eyes met.
No matter how unwilling he was, no matter how many regrets he had, he could only go to the Pure Land.
Dai Uchiha slowly sheathed his sword, his heart unmoved as he watched the Shimura squad being slaughtered by the Uchiha who had rushed out.
The Uchiha's attack was perfectly timed; the fleeing Shimura members had no will to resist and only knew how to escape the Uchiha's pursuit.
However, the Uchiha were much faster than them. When the last Shimura, engulfed in flames, collapsed to the ground, burned to ashes...
This marked the complete annihilation of the troops stationed at the front lines in Shimura.
The moment the battle ended, Suke Uchiha rushed up.
"Second Elder..."
Dai Uchiha shook his head and said, "I'm no longer the Second Elder, you should know that, right?"
Suke Uchiha nodded. "But in my heart, you are still the Second Elder."
Dai Uchiha chuckled twice, then said, "Whether I am the Second Elder or not is not important now. Go and investigate this matter first. Why did Shimura suddenly attack our Uchiha?"
Despite their weak strength, they still dared to attack our Uchiha. Is there someone else supporting them? Perhaps the Senju Clan...?
Suke Uchiha repeatedly. "Understood, Second Elder. I'll go investigate this matter right away. Second Elder, are there any orders from the clan?"
Looking into Suke Uchiha's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit, Dai Uchiha knew what the guy was thinking.
He curled his lips into a smile, then continued, "I was sent by the clan chief to reinforce this area. My main task right now is to stabilize the front lines."
However, this victory gave me a different idea. I'll go report to the clan chief now; perhaps there will be new instructions."
After saying this, he whistled, and a crow slowly landed on his shoulder.
After a series of actions, the crow left with a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan marks.
After finishing all this, Dai Uchiha waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. I need to go back and keep an eye on that new Second Elder. That kid is just like you, a restless fellow."
Soon, Uchiha Takashi received the message relayed by Dai Uchiha.
According to statistics, no Uchiha died in this battle; only a few suffered minor injuries and one was seriously injured. The seriously injured one had accidentally fallen from the wall.
The attack on the Shimura Clan resulted in the deaths of over a hundred ninjas, a significant blow to the relatively small Shimura.
Uchiha Takashi's expression changed as he looked at the battle report.
If previously he only wanted to solidify the southern front because there were too many families in the south, then...
Now, his thinking has changed. The largest clan in the south, Shimura, has been severely weakened by this incident. The other smaller clans are nothing more than two or three big cats, and even combined, they are not worth a fraction of the Uchiha.
Perhaps this opportunity can be used to resolve the hidden dangers in the south in one fell swoop and completely stabilize the south.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi immediately relayed his order back through the crow.
"Order: Yukimichi Uchiha Dai Uchiha will lead two hundred clansmen on a night raid on the Shimura front lines. They must annihilate the Shimura front camp in one fell swoop and threaten Shimura's main base."
That's right, Uchiha Takashi has decided to launch a counterattack. Since the Shimura Clan has been severely weakened by this incident, if they don't take advantage of the situation now, when will they?
