Chapter 192 Uchiha Mei: No imitation, all reference!

Izumo Fortress on the southeast coast of the Land of Fire!
This wooden and stone fortress is Konoha's largest stronghold against the attack of the Mist Ninja army.

It is surrounded by dense and lush low jungle.

But now this jungle area has become dead silent.

Because the area was submerged by countless fogs, people could not see their surroundings at all. Only the occasional screams and explosions proved that there were people in the fog.

At the very center of the fog is a fortress covered with traces of war.

Thanks to the barrier, there is not a trace of fog in the area surrounding this large fortress.

However, once the barrier disappears, the fog will quickly engulf the fortress.

On the fortress wall.

The group was looking at the extremely thick fog outside, which seemed to hide countless enemies, and their faces were filled with worry.

Many people still had blood on their bodies.

The person at the center of the crowd was naturally the eldest ninja from the Uchiha family lineage.

Uchiha Shizuka, who was wearing a tight black combat uniform, seemed to have finally made up her mind. She lowered her head and said to the girl beside her:
"Mei, if you can't hold on later, go find Dou Ping..."

She really couldn't bear to see the girl she had raised die here.

Beside the two of them, Uchiha Shouta, who was as tall and strong as a bear, had a blank expression on his face, but his fists were clenched a little tighter, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He had to protect the girl no matter what.

"No need, Sister Shizuka!", Mei Uchiha said calmly, but firmly: "There is no Uchiha who has ever abandoned his people and ran away!"

With her pride, she would rather die in battle than abandon her people and run away.

If he really wanted to escape, he would not have escaped now, but would have escaped as soon as the Mist Ninja army arrived.

Seeing Uchiha Mei's determined expression, Uchiha Shizuka could only say bitterly:
"It's all that Fugaku's fault. You clearly warned him that the sudden defeat of the Mist Ninja might be a problem, but after he received the letter from the village, he ignored everything in order to save the situation as soon as possible!"

They really have to hate the other side. If their main force had not been defeated, they would not be trapped here.

After several rounds of fighting, only more than 100 of the nearly 200 members of the Changfang clan were left, a loss of nearly one-third.

This loss is already exaggerated.

After all, although the eldest branch of the family has more than a thousand members, most of them are not ninjas. Now they have lost dozens of people, which is an unprecedented loss.

Once all of them are wiped out, the members of the Security Department alone will not be able to support the eldest branch of the family.

"No need to say it!"

Uchiha Mei shook her head to stop the following words. She always disdained to talk about others behind their backs.

If she has something to say, she'll say it to my face.

If Uchiha Fugaku was in front of her, she might have slapped him, but since he was not there, she let it go.

"I don't know what happened to Xiaotang Ping. I sent so many letters, but after a few days, there was no response. It would be great if he was here!"

Uchiha Shizuka naturally understood Mei's character, so she changed the subject.

"... "

Uchiha Mei was also thinking about this question.

She didn't doubt whether Tang Ping would come to support her, but she felt that there was something wrong.

Because she sent the message as soon as possible, she would not gamble with the lives of the eldest branch of the family.

But it is clear that Mingshou Pavilion (we have communicated with each other and knew that the name was changed) is only more than a thousand kilometers away from here. If a single person travels at full speed, he can get there in one day, but there has been no movement until now.

This means that either the letter was not delivered or the other party was stopped by someone.

Boom, boom!

At this moment, explosions continued to sound outside the barrier.

One after another, water-style ninjutsu and attack all landed on the barrier as if they were free.

It was the Mist Ninja attacking again.

In the past few days, they have attacked whenever they got the chance, without giving them any chance to rest.

No matter how strong the Uchiha is, he is still a human being. His physical strength and chakra are not infinite. He has no temper at all when facing this kind of tactics.

As for the breakout?

They didn't dare to go out as they were surrounded by endless fog.

Silent killing technique!

This technique of the Mist Ninja is well-known throughout the ninja world, just like the Konoha fluid flow technique.

In this situation, defending the fortress can still help you hold on by relying on the terrain, because the enemy is not willing to suffer too much.

But if they gave up the advantage of terrain, coupled with the fact that the fog could suppress the Sharingan, their limited manpower would not be enough for the enemy to kill them in a few rounds.

Uchiha Mei looked at the constantly fluctuating barrier, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

Originally, she was planning to hold out and wait for help, but it looked like the reinforcements were not coming. She would not wait to die, so she raised her voice.

"Everyone obey orders!"

Following her voice, more than a hundred Uchiha on the city wall, as well as hundreds of civilian ninjas (there were also civilian ninjas left behind) all looked over. "Put the detonating tags everywhere, and detonate them one after another when the barrier is broken. Then we will break out to... the east!"

Uchiha Mei is going to "borrow" some tactics from Dodaira Kikyoyama.

However, she did not plan to fight back, but to break through.

Because his strength was too weak, even if he could severely damage the Mist Ninja, the final result would not change at all, so he could only break through.

As for why we broke out to the east, it was naturally a matter of careful consideration.

The north is the direction of Konoha, and the west is where Dohei is stationed. These two directions are definitely the directions that the Kirigakure ninjas must guard closely.

There is the sea to the south, so there is only a glimmer of hope to the east.

It can only be said that Uchiha Mei was lacking in character, but she was extremely perceptive in terms of warfare and quickly seized the only weak point in the Mist Ninja encirclement.

"Yes!"*N
All the Uchiha clan members responded in unison, and the civilian ninjas followed suit.

The villagers in the village may fear and be hostile to the Uchiha, but this definitely does not include the front-line ninjas.

Because on the battlefield, you can always trust the Uchiha.

As long as you can tolerate their icy faces and bad tempers, Uchiha is definitely the best teammate choice.

A few hours later!
Explosive tags have been placed all over Izumo Fortress.

Only Konoha dares to play like this. If it were other ninja villages, even if they wanted to play, they would not have so many detonating tags to make.

Boo!
The barrier was also broken under the continuous attack of the Mist Ninjas, and a large number of Mist Ninjas and mist poured in.

Looking at the fortress where I have been stationed for several years.

Uchiha Mei, who had already retreated to the east side of the fortress with everyone, gave the order while supporting the pit with wooden boards.

"Detonate!"

The detonating tags posted in hidden places began to be ignited by the connected chakra lines.

"rush!"

"Take down the Izumo Fortress!"

"Don't let those Konoha ninjas escape!"

...

After the Mist Ninjas broke into the fortress, they were all ready for a hearty massacre.

But what greeted them was not blood and screams, but another sound.

Hiss!

The countless tiny burning sounds stunned the Mist Ninja who had just arrived in the fog.

In an instant, they knew what the sound was.

"It's the detonating talisman!"

"Run away!"

"Damn Konoha!"

"Kill them!"

...

Various panicked voices were heard.

The Mist Ninjas pursue an 'elite policy', which means that they place more emphasis on individual strength and do not pay too much attention to things like cooperation and discipline.

So, these Mist Ninjas were in chaos because of their different choices.

Command...what is that?

Before the Mist Ninjas could reach a consensus, the detonating tags began to explode.

Boom boom boom!
Thunderous explosions continued to sound, destroying the Izumo Fortress while also causing a lot of casualties to the Mist Ninjas.

Even the thick fog that was pouring in was forced back by the flames and explosions.

At this moment, Uchiha Mei jumped out of the pit.

"kill!"

She pounced towards the east at full speed like a tigress descending from a mountain.

The three-magatama Sharingan appeared, and the ninja sword in his right hand was unsheathed, with the rhythm of killing all gods who stood in his way.

On the left is Uchiha Shizuka, on the right is Uchiha Shota, behind them are more than a hundred members of the Uchiha Nagato family, and at the end are a few hundred civilian ninjas, mostly lower-ranking ninjas.

Hundreds of ninja soldiers in total launched a desperate breakout.

The process was extremely smooth. The Mist Ninjas in the encirclement on the east probably didn't expect that they would break out from this direction, so they were easily killed.

Just broke out of the fog.

Uchiha Mei, who was at the front, stopped charging forward, a look of despair appearing on her face.
