Uchiha's opinion

For Sansho Hanzo, this opportunity to become the commander of the first legion of the expeditionary force was also an opportunity for him to have unreserved access to the most advanced chakra technology of the Uchiha dynasty.

Battleships with all main guns, new heavy submarines, radio-guided rockets, ultra-long-range radio command systems, squadron-level walkie-talkies, special alloy individual ninja tools, enhanced detonating talismans... Even the common soldier food pills have been improved in formula. , no matter how much you eat, it will not cause ninja constipation!

Therefore, the process of compiling a combat plan is also a process in which Sanshouyu Hanzo constantly refreshes his personal knowledge.

He knew that Uchiha Tokumitsu had attached great importance to the development and update of ninja tools as early as the shogunate period, but he did not expect that it would develop to such an extent now!

"So, beyond visual range combat is the best way to take advantage of the ninja army!"

Based on the equipment parameters, Sanshouyu Hanzo quickly came to such a conclusion.

And this also made him feel a little lost.

It seems that... after the ninja world entered the dynasty era, in the ninja army sequence, the role of individual powerful ninjas could not play a high role in the war except to resist the surprise attacks of the enemy's strong men.

In terms of attack distance and power, the heavy chakra cannon surpasses most ninjutsu; although chakra shells can easily be intercepted and sniped due to ballistic problems, if the cluster forms a barrage of firepower for coverage bombing, Sanshouyu Hanzo feels Even I can't escape.

Therefore, only five new battleships with all main guns have been produced, and Sansho Hanzo wants them all in one go!

Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu was afraid that the First Legion would not have enough firepower, so there were twelve ironclads and thirty cruisers included in the ninja army structure.

The heavy submarine named "Wolf" by Uchiha Tokumitsu himself is interesting - it can actually dive freely at a depth of more than 200 meters under the sea. It can not only surface and fire chakra cannons, but also has a fully submerged torpedo attack mode. ——For the One Piece World Government Navy with its wooden battleships, especially the so-called Devil Fruit users among them, this may be their next nightmare!

As for radio-guided rockets, Sanshouyu Hanzo feels that they are a useless weapon.

Although it is capable of carrying out ultra-long-range strikes, it is necessary to first set up a radio wave transmission tower at the target, and then the launch control room will conduct directional launch bombing based on uninterrupted radio wave contact after receiving radio waves of a specific frequency.

The problem is that in order to achieve sufficient power to transmit the coordinates, the radio station used to guide the strike is not only large in size and easy to be discovered, but also continuously emits chakra fluctuations during the continuous transmission process, which increases the Risk of exposure - Even if the strong men in the pirate world don't know what chakra is, they can still distinguish the force field fluctuations caused by power. This has also been verified by the intelligence ninjas of the Shampoo Islands.

"It would be great if we could launch according to the coordinate address and carry out bombing without ground guidance..."

Inside the Royal Academy of Engineering, Sansho Hanzo, who was bargaining with Uzumaki Ashina, sighed.

"Theoretically it's possible, but it hasn't reached that stage yet..."

Uzumaki Ashina, who is responsible for docking the arms allocation of the First Army, explained: "If Mr. Hanzo feels that it is not easy to use, you can wait for the verification of the new inertial guidance missile in the next stage before putting it into actual combat."

"...Forget it, the ninja army is about to go on an expedition."

Sanshouyu Hanzo immediately shook his head and refused: "Let's get a few hundred missiles first!"

"The total inventory is only thirty pieces..."

Uzumaki Ashina was speechless.

"so little!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo was disappointed.

"The missile is currently only an experimental model, so it has not been mass-produced."

Uzumaki Ashina said: "Moreover, one missile has an explosion equivalent to one hundred thousand detonating symbols! Now the production capacity can no longer be increased!"

"Twenty-five then!"

Hanzo, the Sansho Fish, is no longer confused.

"Fifteen at most!"

Uzumaki Ashina shook her head decisively.

"Too little!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo was a little dissatisfied.

"Because only fifteen detonating talismans have been loaded..."

Uzumaki Ashina spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"Then fifteen pieces..."

Although Sanshouyu Hanzo couldn't figure out how to use this novel weapon for the time being, he decided to use it based on the belief that he would pass by and hunt rabbits - or that he would want any good thing he saw when he was poor. Loot them all.

"Fine……"

Uzumaki Ashina didn't care, and immediately took out the ordnance from the drawer to sign for it, expressing his gratitude to Sanshouyu Hanzo for his signature.

"Are there any other cool gadgets that need to be tested on the battlefield?"

Sanshouyu Hanzo signed his name and asked casually at the same time.

"The most important thing is the performance of the Wolf submarine and torpedoes, but His Majesty has assigned them to your command."

Uzumaki Ashina put away the receipt form, "If necessary, the Engineering Academy also has a batch of complete sets of ninja tools made of new alloys, but the specifications are basically the same as those in the arsenal..."

"I want them all!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo, who had already received ten thousand sets of ninja tools, opened his mouth again.

"No problem! Lunbu-kun has already said hello, and we will fully cooperate!"

Uzumaki Ashina was quite generous and agreed with a wave of his hand.

Sansho Fish Hanzo was even more satisfied.

At this time, he felt that the adjutant sent by Uchiha Tokumitsu was simply too good!

…

"His Majesty!"

After catching the autumn wind from all the ministries, Hanzo, the abundant sansho fish, came to the palace to see him.

"Mr. Hanzo, there is no need to be polite... Are all the ninja armies participating in the war ready?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had just finished handling government affairs, was smiling all over his face, and it was obvious from a glance that he was in a good mood.

"All the ninja troops mobilized this time are in place, but..."

Sanshouyu Hanzo also saw that this was the best time to ask for more money again.

"Tell me, how many more ninja troops are needed?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was not surprised. Anyway, all ninja army commanders were like this, lest they not have enough ninja soldiers under their command.

"...Can we add three more wings?"

Sanshouyu Hanzo raised three fingers.

"The Fourth Army Garrison Army can allocate three additional regiments to you, do you want it?"

Uchiha Demitsu said casually.

"The Fourth Army..."

This time, Sanshouyu Hanzo was a little hesitant.

The Fourth Army, stationed in the former Genji Daimyo Prefecture, is a ninja army commanded by Kakuto. Most of its ninjas come from the former Daimyo's private army. Although they were forced to defect due to the situation, even after reorganization and training, the Fourth Army could not The quality and loyalty of the personnel were at the bottom of the various ninja armies. To be honest, Sanshouyu Hanzo was not very willing to take such a ninja army to join the expedition.

After all, military laws are now strict, and even he cannot sacrifice people to flags without any reason to frighten the morale of the military.

"Otherwise, there will only be the third army, and up to five regiments can be drawn there..."

Uchiha Demitsu also saw Sanshouyu Hanzo's scruples.

"Then it's still the Fourth Army."

Sanshouyu Hanzo immediately stopped hesitating.

He is not crazy enough to take landlubbers from the desert area to fight a naval battle.

"correct……"

After getting his wish, Sansho Hanzo was about to resign and leave, but Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly stopped him.

"remember!"

"This battle can only be won, not defeated!"

"No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they cannot replace the role of people! You must remember this! I have given you everything you want, that is, you must bring back the final victory! No matter what, I have given you everything you want. Whether it’s a quick battle or a siege and reinforcements, it’s all up to you to decide, I will never interfere!!”

"in addition--"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said word by word: "I don't care about the number of casualties, I just want to advance into the city!"

"I will take Impel Down City and use it as a base for His Majesty's personal expedition!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo looked solemn and responded respectfully.

"Do not disappoint me……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slowly, but after hesitating for a moment, he was still a little worried, so he added: "When the time comes, you can bring Orochimaru and Goju Yagura with you, and they will be able to help you solve a lot of troubles after all..."

"I see!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo bowed deeply.

…

It's not that Uchiha Tokumitsu is unwilling to fight in person, but because one of his most important matters has reached the most critical juncture.

After Sansho Hanzo left, Uchiha Tokumitsu also came to the secret base beneath the palace.

It is in this underground base that the six tailed beasts are stored, as well as the most precious existence - the heretic demon!

"Today is the last day. Are you willing to obey?"

After a heavy defense, Uchiha Tokumitsu walked into the seal room where the tailed beasts were stored.

The One-Tail Shukaku and the Four to Eight-Tails were sealed in six special sealing vessels.

"You have pumped so much chakra out of us, making us unable to live in peace, making our lives even more uncomfortable than those inside the Jinchuuriki, and you are still trying to make us surrender?"

The room immediately resounded with the cry of the eight-tailed ox-ghost: "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

However, this time there was only the cry of the eight-tailed ox-demon, and the other five tailed beasts did not make a sound.

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys are talking!"

The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki shouted again: "Are they all drained of chakra and died?"

"Not dead yet, but probably soon..."

At this time, Ichibi Shukaku's weak voice echoed in the room.

It is an existence that can be called the shame of tailed beasts.

Although compared to the other eight brothers, the one-tailed Shukaku's attack methods are quite versatile, especially the sand sealing technique and magnetic escape developed from it, which are the core secret techniques that support the rise of Sunagakure, but among the nine major Among the tailed beasts, Ichibi Shukaku also has the smallest amount of chakra - he can't even use the tailed beast jade at will like other tailed beasts, so he can only find another way to use the 'blank bullet' as a regular attack method!

"You can't die, don't worry!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu responded angrily: "And your tailed beast's chakra quantity is also the worst among all the tailed beasts, so I won't extract your chakra in the end!"

"That's good!"

Shukaku Ichibi, whose temperament had been worn away by the experience during this period, was not annoyed, and there was even a hint of joy in his voice.

"traitor!"

The eight-tailed cow ghost immediately yelled: "Sure enough, you fat tanuki without a tail is the most unreliable!"

Although the eight-tailed and one-tailed beasts quarreled, the other four tailed beasts still remained silent until now.

Uchiha Tokko shook his head and made a seal: "Necromantic Technique: Heretic Golem!"

As a thick smoke rose, the outsider demon that was stored in another secret room was summoned to the tailed beast sealing room!

"Hiss!"

As soon as it appeared, the heretic demon statue, which had been controlled by Uchiha Tokumitsu for nearly half of its body, couldn't help but let out a silent roar. An extremely hungry emotion accompanied by violent mental fluctuations enveloped the sealed tailed beasts!

"Ahhhh!!!"

At this time, all the tailed beasts could not keep calm. Even the four to seven tails who had been silent could not help but scream in fear!

Of course, the ten-tailed heretic demon that is now almost completely powerless has no ability to move and cannot devour the tailed beasts with its own power, but the fear cannot be suppressed, and this is a complete suppression from the depths of the soul!

"As long as you are willing to sign a psychic contract with me, I will not hand you all over to the heretic demons to devour you!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "Moreover, except for occasional wars, at other times you can even have a degree of freedom comparable to Matata Brigade. Isn't that wonderful?"

"But you want us to willingly inject chakra into this remains, I can't do that!"

The Eight-Tailed Gyuuki was the first to overcome his fear and scream again.

"In that case, I will go back and get a new pair of eyes before I come to you..."

Uchiha Tokko couldn't help but sigh: "You forced me..."

"What eyes!"

Ichibi Shukaku immediately asked alertly.

"The Rinnegan Eye—the Rinnegan Eye that is almost identical to the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a glass tube from his arms and shook it towards the vessel that sealed the tailed beast: "Don't worry, it won't take long, I'll be back in half an hour!"

"But you asked for too much! The chakra absorbed by this remains cannot be recovered!"

Ichibi Shukaku shouted angrily!

Although they are unable to see in the sealed state, they can still sense the special fluctuations belonging to the samsara eye!

If they are really forced, they really can't resist the control! But if they willingly give their chakra to the Ten-Tails remains, they are even more unwilling!

Therefore, today's tailed beasts will face a difficult choice.

"With your strength, there is no need for our power at all..."

Nanao Shigeaki, who had been silent until now, spoke: "But why do we still have to force us to hand over half of our original bodies..."

Uchiha Tokko turned around and looked carefully at the terrifying and ferocious heretic demon statue in front of him.

"Are the two tails going to do the same thing?"

Seeing that Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't answer, Nanao Shigeaki asked again.

Although Uchiha Tokko didn't turn back, he shook his head slightly.

"I hope you can give me one more day!"

Nanao Shigeaki requested.

"……The last day."

Uchiha Tokko turned around, looked at the sealing vessel, and then said. (End of chapter)
