Chapter 209 A Sea of Red Eyes That Makes Your Soul Tremble
Miki's gaze continued to move.
On the right side of the flagship, the deck of a warship was filled with burly ninjas, the leader of whom was stuffing a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth as if no one else was around.
The Akimichi Clan! The core of the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance!
On the other ship, the atmosphere was completely different.
Yamanaka Taichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan, closed his eyes, formed hand seals, and an invisible sense of perception spread out like a spider web.
Beside him, a Jonin from the Nara clan was lazily yawning, but the occasional glint of shrewdness in his eyes made him someone not to be underestimated.
Pig, deer, butterfly!
The most classic and tacitly coordinated fighting team in Konoha is a pillar of the war force that can stand alone.
Meanwhile...
When the gazes of the Cloud Village and Kirigakure ninjas were forced to shift from the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance's warship to another equally massive warship, an even more chilling coldness surged up their spines.
On the deck of that ship stood rows of ninjas dressed in dark green vests.
On their right chests, they all wore a red and white emblem composed of crossed leaves and sticks.
Konoha Police Force!
This name, which has intrigued countless people, is now taking form, standing silently before them.
Leading the group was none other than the head of the security forces, Uchiha Tetsuka.
Tall and imposing with a resolute face, arms crossed, he exuded an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness simply by standing there.
Beside him stood Fugaku Uchiha, a rising star of the Uchiha clan.
He was much younger than Tiehuo, but his composure and competence already showed signs of a clan leader.
However, what truly alarmed the enemy was the view behind them.
That was not a force composed entirely of Uchiha clan members.
A squad leader named Uchiha Yoru stood tall and straight. In his squad, an Inuzuka ninja was calming a growling ninja dog beside him, while another Aburame ninja had his hands in his pockets, with only a few barely noticeable parasitic insects hovering around his collar.
This is a brand-new Konoha Police Force, formed by elites from multiple races and truly serving the entire village after the Third Hokage's thorough reforms.
They are the shield of Konoha, and the sword of the Hokage.
Just as the ninjas from Kirigakure and Kumogakure were intimidated by the strict discipline of this unit.
A sudden change has occurred!
It was as if they had received some kind of silent command, or perhaps it stemmed from the tacit understanding flowing in the blood of the Uchiha clan.
At that moment, Uchiha Tetsuka, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yogen, and all the other members of the Uchiha clan standing at the very front of the deck opened their eyes simultaneously.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
One pair, two pairs, ten pairs...
Crimson pupils suddenly lit up in the cool moonlight!
Double tomoe, triple tomoe...
Countless jet-black magatama slowly rotated in the blood-red eyes, possessing an eerie and deadly beauty, converging into a crimson sea of stars that sent shivers down one's spine.
Sharingan!
This bloodline limit, which once symbolized misfortune and curse, has now been transformed by the Third Hokage's will into the sharpest and most terrifying weapon to protect Konoha.
"Gulp."
A Jonin from Kirigakure swallowed instinctively, feeling a chill run through his hands and feet.
One Uchiha is a genius, ten Uchiha are a nightmare.
What are those nearly one hundred Uchiha who have awakened their Sharingan, are highly disciplined, and are integrated into a war machine?
"This...this is impossible..."
"How can there be so many!"
On the Cloud Village flagship, a Cloud Ninja muttered to himself, his body trembling slightly, "The Uchiha clan...aren't they supposed to be the most arrogant and aloof? How could they...how could they be like this..."
Such... loyalty!
He couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.
The way he completely integrated himself into a group and unleashed all his power for the same goal completely overturned his entire understanding of this legendary family.
The rumors were actually true!
However, this is just the beginning.
On another warship beside the garrison's warship, the atmosphere was completely different.
There stood a group of ninjas with pure white eye sockets. Their expressions were calm and their demeanor was ancient, which contrasted sharply with the Uchiha's sharp and aggressive nature.
The Hyuga clan!
Leading the group was Hyuga Hiashi, the sixteen-year-old heir to the main family, who had already begun to take over family affairs.
His youthful face was filled with a seriousness and earnestness that belied his age.
"Eye roll!"
hum!
In an instant, veins bulged on the foreheads and around the eyes of all the Hyuga clan members.
Those pure white eyes held no trace of emotion, only ultimate insight and analysis.
Their gaze pierced through the night and the sea fog, allowing them to see every corner of the combined Cloud and Mist Hidden Fleet clearly.
"Report, Kumogakure's main warship, 127 people on deck. Chakra reaction..."
"The Third Raikage's chakra reserves... are incalculable, and his activity level is extremely high, confirming it is indeed him."
"The main warship of the Hidden Mist, with a total of 138 people on deck..."
"Report! The left-hand warship's hull structure is weaker at a depth of five meters underwater than other parts!"
"....."
The most minute pieces of information were not transmitted verbally, but were quickly gathered on the flagship in a way unique to the Hyuga clan.
On the flagship of the Hidden Clouds, the strategist Tsuchishiro, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his one eye.
He stared in horror at the warship where the Hyuga clan was located, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
It’s over.
As one of the few strategists in Kumogakure, he understood better than anyone what the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan meant on the battlefield.
That means that they will have no secrets left in front of Konoha!
Troop deployment, personnel composition, positions of the strongest, tactical intentions... everything will be written down and clearly presented to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Before the battle even began, they had already lost the most crucial intelligence war.
And this is the new Konoha under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule—an open, united village that brings all its forces together!
The perfect teamwork of Ino-Shika-Cho, Tsunade's medical corps, the Uchiha's merciless sword, the Hyuga's all-seeing eye...
In addition, there were elite troops on the other warships, composed of ninjas from various Konoha clans and countless civilian ninjas.
They did not possess any illustrious bloodline limits, but each of them exuded an aura of steely resolve, as if they had survived countless battles.
Standing silently on the deck, the kunai and katana in his hands gleamed with a bloodthirsty light under the moonlight.
The nine warships were a single unit.
A war behemoth with Hiruzen Sarutobi as its brain, the various clans as its organs, and all the ninjas as its cells.
An invisible yet powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire sea area.
