Izuna's kunai pierced another jounin of the Uchiha [Death] squad.
No one in the [Death] squad heard from Madara that this powerful masked man was Izuna.
Because Izuna himself hasn't told Madara yet about his identity.
But under such circumstances, they expected it.
"Please, please take back the victory, deputy... deputy chief..."
After leaving these last words in Izuna's ears before his death, he closed his eyes with contentment.
Maybe he thought that after closing his eyes, he would see his dead love there.
Izuna turned around and looked behind him. Shimura Tensho had almost solved the problem.
A Shimura Jonin reported to Shimura Riko: "Master Tensho, all twenty members of the Uchiha clan have been eliminated now. Seven people on my side died and twenty-six were injured."
Shimurari nodded and shouted: "Burn all this food!"
With so much food, it would be hard for any ninja not to be tempted by it.
But transporting it back was impossible.
During the Warring States Period, intelligence and communication technology was not as strong as it was during the Five Ninja Village era.
But this does not mean that the Warring States Period did not pay attention to intelligence.
For such a major event like transporting food, every other day, or even every half a day, the person in charge will send the news back to the clan through psychic beasts or messengers.
Indicates that the transportation process is safe.
Once the communication is interrupted, it is equivalent to an accident. The clan will immediately send people to investigate.
By that time, not only would the food be unable to be transported, but they would also encounter Uchiha reinforcements.
呲呲~~
The sound of burning flames sounded, and all ten carts of food were burned to the ground.
At this time, Shimura Tensho walked up to Izuna and his tone was much more polite than before, "Mr.Kaido, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course I have to go back to the camp first. Our four tribes are also in short supply of food. I hope Shimura and Sarutobi can send an additional batch of food..."
Before Izuna could finish speaking, Shimurari immediately took out a map from his arms.
The route above from the Sarutobi, Shimura tribe to the camp where the four clans were located was marked with a red pen.
"Don't worry, Master Keizo has made arrangements. After I return to the tribe to report, I will be able to transport food immediately and formally meet with everyone from the four clans."
Izuna took the map and reminded: "Don't forget, our cooperation is carried out without telling Hagoromo, so we will pick you up halfway."
"The envoys sent by them should also have a certain weight, so that the sincerity of cooperation between the two parties can be seen."
Shimura Tensho nodded to express his understanding, "Don't worry about this, let's take our leave first."
The corpses of the ninjas killed by the Shimura clan were recovered, and Shimura Tensho and his party quickly evacuated.
Not long after Izuna took off his mask, lifted his black robe,and resumed his usual appearance, a team led by Uchiha Inosuke arrived.
"Deputy Chief!"
Uchiha Inosuke and the others nodded briefly and saluted. When they saw the food burned to ashes and the corpse of the Uchiha ninja lying on the ground, their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.
Izuna glanced at them lightly and said: "They completed the task excellently, recover the body and buried it properly."
"yes!"
Just as Izuna was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, do you still have some blue obsidian in stock in the family?"
Blue obsidian is a specialty mineral that is usually incorporated when making ninja tools to enhance the sharpness and hardness of the ninja tools.
If used for engraving, it can even last for hundreds of years without any damage.
"I remember there are still some left."
Uchiha Inosuke replied.
"Just say it's my order to build a commemorative monument and engrave the names of these dead clansmen on it for future generations to pay their respects."
Izuna's approach was also modeled on later generations of Konoha.
When Kakashi led the three students to conduct the genin examination, he talked about the tomb commemorative monument.
Uchiha Obito, and Nohara lin other names are all engraved on it.
"Yes, deputy chief."
Blue obsidian is a precious ore for making weapons. If it is used in other ways, Uchiha Inosuke and others may object, but when used here, they have no complaints.
Soon, the team evacuated with the bodies of the dead tribesmen.
The sad mood is only temporary, and the ending of the deceased is eventually gradually forgotten by the living world.
After Uchiha Inosuke's team left, Izuna put on the mask again and rushed towards the territory of the five clan alliance.
"This war is about to end!"
Uchiha was in a state of food shortage, and the situation of his opponents, Hagoromo and the other five clans, was not much better.
Hagoromo Masashige decided to suspend the attack on Uchiha in the near future. He would first unite the four tribes and transfer their own food over, and then fight another day.
In the past six months, Hagoromo Masashige and others have been wary of the four clans, but fortunately nothing major happened.
Sarutobi, Shimura, and Senju didn't take action yet, which made Hagoromo Masashige's tense nerves relax a little.
"Chief of the Hagoromo clan."
Hearing the voice, Hagoromo Masashige's face condensed, and Hagoromo Netsuka, who was hiding in the dark, also secretly held the sword in his hand.
"kaido..."
Masashige Hagoromo was as alert as ever and asked: "What information did you bring again? Could it be that Sarutobi,Shimura is finally willing to take action?"
Izuna's visits were not frequent. In half a year, the total number of visits was only five or six times, and sometimes he did not appear once a month.
But every time he arrived, he would be given extremely critical and real information, which Hagoromo Masashige did not dare to underestimate.
"That's right, Shimura Sarutobi is already planning to officially join the war!"
"What?!"
Both Hagoromo Masashige and Hagoromo Netsuka were shocked.
After half a year of standing still, they all began to doubt whether what "kaido" said was true or false.
Unexpectedly, today the other party suddenly broke the news that the two clans were finally going to take action.
"Sarutobi,Shimura already knows that you are short of food, so they decided to send a batch of food as a meeting gift. Of course, this batch of meeting gifts is only for the four clans and has nothing to do with Hagoromo."
Izuna sneered twice and continued: "At the same time, they will also send high-level figures within the clan as envoys for cooperation and meetings."
"How can I trust you?"
Hagoromo Masashige said impatiently.
Izuna took out the map that Shimura Tensho gave him and threw it to Hagoromo Masashige. "This is the route Shimura,Sarutobi took to transport food this time. The circle is the place where they met this time."
Hagoromo Masashige quickly opened it and saw that the route indeed started from Sarutobi Shimura's clan and led to him.
The location of the circle is a small town called "Richie Town".
