Yukimichi Uchiha, soon received orders from Uchiha Takashi.
Upon receiving the order to attack, Yukimichi Uchiha immediately underwent a complete 360-degree turn.
His previously dejected expression instantly transformed into one of radiance, leaving Suke Uchiha completely dumbfounded. "Damn, buddy, you changed your expression without getting pricked?"
"Great! Finally, the clan's orders have arrived! Hahaha, Shimura, is that it? Watch me annihilate you all! Hahahahahaha!" Yukimichi Uchiha finished speaking and began his Kyō Uchiha.
Dai Uchiha grabbed his spiky hair and slapped him twice. "Shut up! Now that the order has been given, you'd better go and gather the men. We're leaving tonight."
Yukimichi Uchiha stopped laughing and excitedly ran to call for help.
Watching his retreating figure, Suke Uchiha slowly moved to Dai Uchiha's side and asked, "Second Elder, is this the clan's new Second Elder?"
Why do I feel like I'm a bit dull and silly... Isn't there anything better?
Dai Uchiha glanced at Suke Uchiha and said decisively, "No, this one is already a good choice. Actually, there is another ten-year-old contestant."
But the other one is even more of a battle maniac. At least this one has a little bit of brains; he can at least study. The other one is truly a pure battle maniac...
Homura Uchiha: Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about! Are you talking about me?
Suke Uchiha: "..." Well, if I were ten years younger, I could be an elder too.
"Alright, enough talk. I'm leaving the front-line camp to you. While we're away, make sure you don't lose the front lines," Dai Uchiha instructed.
"Recently, the Ino-Shika-Cho clans have been quite restless. They seem to be intentionally trying to get closer to the Senju Clan. Keep an eye on the movements of these three clans, understand?"
Suke Uchiha nodded. "Understood, Second Elder. Also, regarding the Shimura Clan's sudden attack on us, I've investigated thoroughly."
Dai Uchiha paused in his tracks, turned back to Suke Uchiha, and asked, "Oh, you know? What happened then?"
Suke Uchiha cleared his throat and then said, "This matter involves the internal power struggle within the Shimura clan."
Their chieftain in their stronghold is old and has left no children, so the other elders have begun to have designs on him.
The plan for this attack was decided suddenly by one of their elders.
Because their base camp's geographical location wasn't ideal, they urgently needed to expand outwards.
The only direction they need is ours, and given our recent frequent battles, they believe our defenses in the south are not very strong.
So one of their elders sent people over to launch a probing attack... but it seems that the probing attack turned into a large-scale, reckless charge.
Dai Uchiha chuckled coldly, "Heh, so it really is a power struggle? I knew it would be like this; sooner or later, their struggle for power would lead them to their own destruction."
The Uchiha and Shimura clan systems differed greatly; other clans followed a feudal succession system similar to that of the daimyo.
This is what is known as the father inheriting the father's position; if the father is an elder, then the son will also be an elder; if the father is a clan chief, then the son will also be a clan chief.
The Uchiha is different; they believe in might makes right. If you want to be the clan leader, you can, but you must defeat everyone who wants to be the clan leader.
If you can't even beat them, how dare you say you want to be the clan leader?
The Uchiha clan leader doesn't consider personality, anything else, or even your strategic thinking; he only cares about your strength and whether you can command the respect of all the clan members.
Both Ryō Uchiha and Uchiha Takashi rose to the position of clan leader by overwhelming the entire clan with their absolute strength.
These two are not related by blood at all. As long as you are a member of the Uchiha, you are qualified to compete for the positions of elder and clan leader, provided you have the strength.
Getting back to the main point, Yukimichi Uchiha quickly selected his clansmen.
To be fair, he does possess leadership skills and strategic vision; he didn't simply gather all the strongest family members together.
Instead, they left behind a portion of their elite troops as a defensive force, taking only two-thirds of their elite soldiers with them.
Dai Uchiha nodded as he looked at the 12 Mitsudomoe, the 80 Futatsudomoe, and the hundreds of Single Tomoe before him.
"Very good. It seems you have a talent Yukimichi these things, at least you know to leave a few elites for the front lines. Not bad."
Yukimichi Uchiha smiled shyly and said, "Hehe, after all, the front line still needs to be defended. What if we take them all away and they get ambushed?"
Suke Uchiha said irritably, "Then could you leave me a little more? After you take them all, there will only be four Mitsudomoe left on the front lines."
Yukimichi Uchiha counted on his fingers and said, "Four clansmen with Mitsudomoe are equivalent to four large battalions. This time, we're going to attack Shimura, our biggest enemy in the south."
Therefore, Shimura doesn't need to worry, and with the other families united, four large battalions are enough.
Dai Uchiha: "Alright, kid, stop talking nonsense and get moving. Before they can react, let's break through their front lines in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!" Yukimichi Uchiha, leading his men out of the front-line camp and marching in a mighty force towards the Shimura front.
The Shimura Clan's frontline troops never dreamed that the Uchiha would suddenly attack.
Many of the troops that attacked the Uchiha were drawn from the front lines, further weakening the defensive capabilities at the front.
"Oh no! It's the Uchiha! The Uchiha are attacking!" A Shimura hiding inside the walls shouted as he watched the Uchiha over.
Indeed, the defenses had become so lax that Shimura only realized he was under attack after the Uchiha rushed in.
"What?! Ah..." In the short time it took to speak, countless screams echoed throughout the camp.
Inside the main camp, Shimura second elder in charge of the front lines, wiped the cold sweat from his brow and stamped his feet anxiously. "Oh no! Oh no! Why are the Uchiha attacking?"
This guy was still thinking about how the Uchiha had attacked, and hadn't even considered organizing the forces within the camp to fight back.
He allowed the Uchiha to slaughter his clansmen throughout the camp.
"Ah!" " Wind Release... Uh--"... Many Shimura members were killed by the Uchiha before they could even see their enemies or unleash their Ninjutsu.
The Yukimichi Uchiha, who had been moving freely through the camp, began to feel uneasy. "Something's not right about this camp. Why haven't we seen anyone organize a resistance after killing so many people here?"
Looking at the disorganized Shimura before him, Yukimichi Uchiha's expression grew increasingly strange.
Is this bait? But isn't the casualties for this bait a bit too high? For the Uchiha to attack a completely scattered camp like this is just pure slaughter, isn't it?
How many enemies have they killed already? If all of these people were ninjas, then there probably aren't many ninjas left in the entire Shimura Clan.
Soon, Yukimichi Uchiha into the main camp and saw Elder Shimura wandering around helplessly.
Looking at Elder Shimura, whose attire was noticeably different, Yukimichi Uchiha raised an eyebrow. Finally, he'd found a big fish.
Seeing that the Uchiha had already stormed in, Elder Shimura completely panicked. This position was originally meant to be inherited from his father.
He himself didn't have much strength at all; he could only be considered a Chunin. Facing a Jonin, and one who was close to the Clan Head Level Yukimichi Uchiha, he was defeated by Genjutsu in a single exchange.
Yukimichi Uchiha glanced at Elder Shimura, who was fast asleep on the ground, and his eye twitched. Was this really a frontline commander? How could he be so incompetent?
With the fall of the main camp, the fighting within the camp ended. A large number of Shimura were killed, while some chose to surrender.
The Shimura Clan's front lines were captured by the Uchiha in the blink of an eye.
