Looking at the contents of the declaration of war, Sarutobi Furukawa couldn't help but shed a big drop of sweat on his face.
More than four months have passed since Shimura Tensho led a team to ambush Uchiha's food troops and annihilate them all.
If this declaration of war hadn't been mentioned, Sarutobi Furukawa himself would have almost forgotten it.
But he never expected that Uchiha would investigate the matter clearly and choose this time to declare war on his two clans.
Sarutobi Furukawa, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately wrote to Keizo Shimura who was on the front line.
After receiving the letter from Sarutobi Furukawa, Shimura Keizo, who was originally preparing for the next round of attack, was also shocked.
He also didn't expect that after four months, Uchiha would be able to find out about this matter.
What surprised him even more was that Shimura members would actually leave flaws when doing things.
You know, this once his most trusted deputy was from the assassination force.
It can be said that he is very good at handling assassinations, destroying scenes, destroying evidence and other issues.
How could he leave a flaw that was discovered by Uchiha?
But there is no time to think about these issues now.
According to Sarutobi Furukawa's account, the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Madara, has personally led an army and begun to press towards the clan territory guarded by Sarutobi Furukawa.
A fierce battle is about to break out!
The problem we are facing now is the war with Uchiha. It is a war or a peace.
Just the four northwest tribes, Shimura Keizo and the others didn't take it seriously at all, but the Uchiha couldn't be treated as one. Even Shimura Keizo, who was blinded by anger, had to weigh it.
After pondering for a long time in the military camp, Shimura Keizo, a hawkish character, finally took up his pen and started writing a reply to Sarutobi Koga.
The letter contained his views on the matter.
It should be "harmony".
They are currently at war with the four tribes in the northwest, and most of their combat power has been mobilized.
It is very problematic to deal with Uchiha with the combat power in the hands of Sarutobi Furukawa alone.
Therefore, we should try to avoid this battle and make peace with Uchiha.
Listen to their demands. If that doesn't work, you can even use the high-level ninjutsu treasured in the family as a bargaining chip.
After Sarutobi Furukawa received this letter, he was secretly relieved to see that his old friend had the same idea as him.
He didn't want to start a war with the Uchiha at this time, so it would be best if he could make peace.
But it wasn't just Sarutobi who got the news, it was the Shimura clan as well.
Uchiha Madara led a large army into Sarutobi Shimura's clan with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that some people would not know that he was going to start a war.
In just a few days, almost everyone in the Warring States Period knew about it.
After hearing the news, the most ecstatic person was the northwest clan leader headed by Watanabe.
After several months, the four clans also elected their new clan leaders.
Among them, Watanabe's new clan leader is a peak jounin over thirty years old who survived the previous battle with Uchiha, named "Watanabe Ryoukai".
After learning that Uchiha Madara was leading an army to march towards the tribes of the Sarutobi Shimura clan, Watanabe Ryoukai, who was overjoyed, immediately held a meeting and gathered all the top ninjas of the four clans for discussion.
"Chief Watanabe, are Uchiha trying to make a profit by suddenly starting a war with Sarutobi?"
asked the new leader of the Onikawa clan.
Watanabe Ryoukai shook his head, "No, it is said that Shimura's people offended Uchiha for something, which made Uchiha Madara very angry. Our people have not investigated the specific situation clearly."
"In any case, this is a good thing for us. What we have to do now is to unite Uchiha."
The new leader of the Fuma Clan said impatiently.
Their clan was relatively unlucky. All the single-digit peak jounin were killed in the previous battle, leaving only a veteran ninja at the elite jounin level to take over.
This time, Uchiha started a war against Sarutobi and the Shimura clan, who had not had much grievances with them in the past. The banner was "revenge for the dead clan members."
At the very least, this flag seemed to be the opponent's fault, which caused the Uchiha's morale to double. They made great progress along the way, until they were less than eighty miles away from the Sarutobi Shimura tribe. Considering the geographical location of the Fire Country, it was Very close!
In Uchiha's temporary military camp, Madara received news from the Secret Investigation Department.
Shimura Keizo has begun to move the troops on the northwest front back here, which means that the next battle will not be so easy to fight.
Not long after that, another ninja quickly entered the camp where Madara lived and made a report.
"Clan leader, the Sarutobi clan has sent an envoy to request negotiations with you."
At this time, Madara was deploying the front line with Uchiha Sashu, Uchiha Flame and others.
Upon hearing this, they all turned to look at the Uchiha Chuunin who came in.
