Chapter 7: Battlefield Situation
Hagoromo Ryokawa fought to oust Senju Butsuma.
He turned and looked back, all he could see were the Hagoromo clan members and the Senju fighting for their lives.
Although the figures of Hagoromo Kazuo and Senju Bōra are still invisible, everyone can feel such a large burst of chakra and the two people behind them have begun to fight with all their strength.
"Damn!"
Hagoromo Ryokawa's face was pale. At this time, Hagoromo and Senju were entangled. If they forcibly left the battlefield, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
After all, Senju Bōra's sneak attack from behind was obviously intended to seriously injure the Hagoromo clan. Therefore, Senju Bōra will never sit back and watch the Hagoromo clan retreat. When the time comes, the Hagoromo clan will definitely pay a heavy price for retreating.
However, now the Hagoromo clan has no choice but to retreat, because the Senju clan's grand elder, Senju Bōra, has led the Senju clan to attack from behind the battlefield.
The rear force of the Hagoromo clan was insufficient. Although Kazuo was there, they couldn't stop them for long.
If the delay continues, once Kazuo's side is defeated, the Hagoromo clan on the battlefield will most likely be wiped out!
Thinking of this, Hagoromo Ryokawa took a deep breath. Between heavy losses and the destruction of the clan, anyone with a good eye knew what to choose.
But if this is the case, the Hagoromo clan may not be able to recover for a long time. In fact, if it is more serious, the Hagoromo clan may not be able to recover from this.
However, the situation at the scene did not allow him to delay.
"Suiton: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Senju Butsuma inserted the knife into the ground, forming a seal in his hand, and a water dragon rushed towards Ryokawa with great momentum.
"Deiton Mudflow Wall!" Hagoromo Ryokawa formed a seal to defend.
A thick, sticky wall of mud instantly rose up on the ground to defend against the water dragon bullets launched by Butsuma.
Standing behind the mud wall, Hagoromo Ryokawa sighed.
Just when he raised his hand, he was about to endure the pain and order a retreat.
Suddenly, a figure appeared galloping behind the Senju clan.
"Clan leader! The Uchiha clan suddenly launched an attack. The clan is in emergency!" A Senju ninja appeared behind Senju Butsuma. Although his voice was low, both clan leaders heard the news.
Hagoromo Ryokawa raised his hand and lowered it silently.
It really is a perfect path. Senju was unexpectedly attacked by his former Uchiha rival. In this way, the Hagoromo clan can take a breath.
After hearing his tribe's report, the Senju leader was filled with rage and an astonishing amount of chakra gushed out of his body: "Damn it! "Damn Uchiha!"
"Patriarch Senju, do we want to continue fighting?" Hagoromo Ryokawa tightened her grip on him. The long knife in his hand was staring at Butsuma.
Although his tone was a little timid, his actions also showed that he was not afraid of the Senju clan, and the worst is possible!
If you, Senju, really want to fight me to the death, then even if I, Hagoromo, am destroyed here, I will tear a piece of flesh from your body!
When the time comes, I will see how you can fight against Uchiha after Senju has suffered such a big loss.
Senju Butsuma looked deeply at Hagoromo Ryokawa: "Huh! You got lucky!"
"The Hagoromo clan obeys the order! "Defend yourselves!" Hagoromo Ryokawa gave loud orders to the clan members on the battlefield.
Seeing that Hagoromo no longer took the initiative to attack, Senju Butsuma also raised his hand and shouted, "Senju Clan! Stand down!"
After two or three minutes, the entire Senju Clan on the battlefield retreated, even the corpses were removed.
Hagoromo Ryokawa ordered the battlefield to be cleared and retreated to camp.
The battle that lasted all morning came to an end.
boom!
Inside the Senju Camp.
Senju Butsuma kicked the low table in front of him: "Damn Uchiha! Why are they so crazy?"
The great elder Senju Bōra, who attacked the rear of the Hagoromo clan, said: "I don't know, but Uchiha suddenly said that our clan launched an attack. The Uchiha clan leader Tajima, the first elder Uchiha Kaikawa, and the third elder Uchiha Sanji appeared.
Now, only Second Elder Rauma and Third Elder Zuma are in the clan area, and Fourth Elder Sama is to the north. To defend the Senju clan, if we do not quickly return to support, Rauma and Zuma may not be able to resist for long."
Butsuma sat down angrily: "Of course I know, let the clan prepare to evacuate to the base camp immediately!
Also!, Great Elder, lead one-third of the tribe to stay and continue attacking the Hagoromo clan. The Hagoromo clan has repeatedly opposed me, and this time the Hagoromo clan is destined to be exterminated."
Senju Bōra was stunned when he heard this: "One-third of the clan, clan leader, I'm afraid this won't work!"
Butsuma smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, one-third of the clan is enough to wipe out the Hagoromo clan. After all, I already contacted them…"
…
The Hagoromo clan returned to the camp, and their momentum was obviously not that high.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hagoromo clan is at a disadvantage right now.
After all, the Senju clan is the strongest ninja clan except for the Uchiha. In fact, it is a bit laborious for Hagoromo to fight on the battlefield, not to mention that in the night attack last night, the Senju destroyed a large amount of food and medicine.
Therefore, the Hagoromo clan members in the camp were more or less depressed.
Inside the meeting tent,
Hagoromo Ryokawa was discussing countermeasures with the second elder, a group of elite Jonin and Jounin.
"Everyone, let's talk. The Senju are aggressive. What should we do next?"
Chief Hagoromo Ryokawa was the first to speak.
Everyone was silent for a long time, then the second elder, Hagoromo Kazuo said, "Why don't we ask the Uchiha clan for help? On the battlefield today, didn't the Senju ninja say that they were attacked by the Uchiha?"
At this time, unbeknownst to the Hagoromo, the Uchiha had launched a large-scale attack on the Senju, and the Uchiha clan leader, the first elder, and the third elder went to the battlefield.
Now they just thought it was Uchiha attacking Senju again as usual. If Senju was on guard, they evacuated immediately.
Therefore, Hagoromo Kazuo wanted to take the initiative to ask Uchiha for help and let Uchiha increase the scale of his attack on Senju.
"But what can we do to get the Uchiha to support us?" A Jounin asked.
Hagoromo Kazuo said "Let's use the newly discovered iron ore in Nishiyama."
The Hagoromo clan is located in the northwest of the future Fire Country, and the newly discovered iron ore is in the west of the Hagoromo clan.
Uchiha can take care of the location of this iron mine, but if Senju wants to obtain it, he must cross the territory of the Hagoromo clan.
It is precisely because of this, and because of the hatred accumulated in previous missions, that the Senju launched a war against the Hagoromo clan.
Hearing what the second elder said, an elite jounin became a little excited: "But isn't it because of the Iron Mine that we fought with the Senju? If we hand over the Iron Mine to the Uchiha, then our efforts were in vain, and our brothers who died were a waste."
Hagoromo Kazuo looked at the elite jounin: "So, what do you think we should do?"
The elite jounin was immediately speechless.
Hagoromo Kazuo then explained, "We, the Hagoromo Clan, are trapped between the Iron Mines and the Senju territory. Even if we take the initiative to hand over the Iron Mine to the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan will not be relieved.
After all, our Hagoromo Clan is caught in the middle, we also have a grudge against the Senju.
If one day we repent and hand over the Iron Mine to the Senju Clan, we don't need to take it from them. As long as we cut the connection between the Iron Mine and the Senju Clan, then the Iron Mine will automatically return to our hands.
Therefore, even if we hand over the Iron Mine to the Senju Clan, the Senju Clan will take action against us."
In the past, when the Iron Mine had not been discovered, if the Hagoromo clan and the Senju clan became enemies, they were not afraid.
After all, Hagoromo is also a first-class ninja clan, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Without enough profit support, Senju cannot go to war with them.
