The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

With the collapse of the high-level battlefield and the escape of the clan leader and others, the morale of the Uchiha clan suffered a devastating blow.

Many Uchiha clan members began to flee the battlefield in panic, while the Shimada clan members began to pursue and kill them wantonly.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it makes the two sides who were originally evenly matched become one-sided.

Uchiha Madara, who had just woken up, was naturally one of them.

Madara was originally concentrating on fighting Hanzo, but was accidentally attacked by Motohisa and fell into coma.

For a moment when he was unconscious, Madara thought he was dead, but he didn't expect he could wake up.

As for Black Zetsu who secretly helped Madara deal with several Shimada clan ninjas who were about to pick off their heads, that was not something Madara could know about.

Madara woke up and observed the situation around him, only to find that the Uchiha clan had begun to collapse.

Countless clan members were killed by the Shimada clan.

Angry, Madara killed several Shimada clan ninjas, but was unable to reverse the situation.

Especially when he saw the corpses of the four elders on the battlefield between the two clans' senior leaders in the distance, Madara also knew that the situation was over.

He had no choice but to follow the trend and start to retreat.

"The Shimada clan...Shimada Shigenen...Shimada Hanzo..." Madara thought silently in his heart, "Just wait!"

…

Time flashed back to about five minutes ago. On the other side, Uchiha Tajima and others were already a little desperate as they were quickly approached by Shimada Shigegen.

His speed is not as good as that of others, his strength is not as good as that of others, and his condition is also not as good as that of others. Even though Uchiha Tajima has fought countless large and small battles with energy and plotted against others, he really doesn't know how to break the situation.

"Instead of being chased to death, it's better to fight to the death, and maybe you can get some support." Uchiha Tajima said with a ferocious look on his face and a fierce heart.

Just when he was about to turn around and fight.

The great elder who had been following him suddenly turned to face the new year.

"Chief, please leave quickly!"

At this moment, the Great Elder Uchiha was already determined to die.

This war was initiated by him.

Now that the family is in ruins, even if he escapes, he will inevitably be held accountable afterwards. It is better to use his life in exchange for Uchiha Tajima and the others' successful escape.

For the sake of survival, Uchiha Tajima and the other two elders who escaped were always embarrassed to liquidate his relatives, wives and children.

And when Uchiha Tajima discovered the great elder's plan, the anger in his heart was instantly released.

Humans are creatures eager to survive.

No one wants to die easily if they can survive.

After pausing for a moment, Uchiha Tajima continued to retreat with the other two elders. At this time, he was already despondent, and even if he stayed, it might not be of any use.

The elder Uchiha, who had given up hope of escaping, became extremely calm.

He looked at Shimada Shigenori, who was approaching quickly, and there was even a smile on his lips.

"It's really not a waste of my life to have a final battle with a strong man like you, hahahahahaha." The Great Elder Uchiha laughed.

As a being with one foot beyond the shadow level, he can be regarded as the third strongest person on the battlefield at this time.

He could also clearly see the gap between the two, but at this time, victory or defeat... strength or weakness... were no longer among his considerations.

He only thinks about one thing now and enjoys the last battle of his life.

Shimada Shigetoshi, who originally had a somewhat impatient expression, gradually became serious when he saw Elder Uchiha's expression.

Zhongnian, who had almost overturned just now, has gradually woken up from the sense of expansion brought about by his strong strength.

He regained his wisdom three years ago.

He knew that this kind of opponent who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle was the most terrifying.

"Three years ago, the great elder of your Uchiha clan was killed by me. I didn't ask for his name. Now, I want to know your name." Shimada Shigenen said slowly.

"Uchiha Tokihi..."

…

There was no suspense in the battle. Although Tokiha Uchiha was strong, he also had an extremely tenacious will to fight, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to this battle.

But the difference in strength between the two is really obvious.

Even if Tokiha Uchiha tried his best, it would only delay for a short period of time.

However, this short period of time was enough for Uchiha Tajima and others to run away.

At this time, the elders of the Shimada clan, who had killed the four remaining Uchiha elders, finally arrived belatedly.

It's not that they deliberately delayed, but the family's casualties this time were also quite tragic. In addition to some direct deaths, there were also a considerable number of wounded.

As elders, they must handle these matters well, not to mention the fact that there are three important injured persons: the Great Elder, Shimada Hidenaga and Hanzo.

"How is it?" Chongnian asked.

The leader of the second elder shook his head and said: "One hundred and sixteen people of the family died in this battle, and there are more than 300 wounded with varying degrees of injuries, and there are also a few missing..."

After saying that, the second elder paused and said with some difficulty: "It is expected that the family will lose almost two hundred combatants in the end."

The missing person may have escaped after being chased. Of course, the Uchiha has not returned yet, but there is also a very small possibility that he took the opportunity to defect.

Of course, the most likely possibility is that he is already dead.

Even the body cannot be found, including being buried by earth escape or washed away by water escape, etc.

Listening to the second elder's report, Zhongnian also felt heartbroken.

These lost ninjas were all the elites of the Shimada clan.

Although there may be a small number of ninjas from vassal families, the losses to the Shimada clan are by no means small.

Of course, in terms of losses, the Uchiha clan must have suffered the worst. It is conservatively estimated that more than 300 ordinary ninjas died.

Most of them were killed during the chase.

During the free-for-all, the losses suffered by the two races were not much different.

In addition, even the elders lost five. After this battle, the Uchiha clan has temporarily fallen behind from the first echelon.

Thinking of the elder, Shimada Shigegen suddenly said: "By the way, how are Uncle Hidecho and Hematsu? And Hanzo."

The second elder hesitated to speak. Zhongnian suddenly felt something bad: "What's going on?"

The second elder murmured: "The young patriarch and the eldest elder are fine, but elder Xiuchang..."

After much hesitation, the second elder finally said, "Elder Xiuchang is already quite old, and the injury this time is too serious. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's already on his deathbed."

"Whoosh!"

Zhongnian didn't care to talk to the second elder and the others anymore, and quickly went to Xiuchang's side.

Xiuchang was indeed dying at this time.

After all, Uchiha Tajima is a being who surpasses jounin.

If he was young, even if he was defeated, he would definitely not be defeated so easily and seriously injured.

Time is indeed the cruelest corrosion to a ninja.

Even in later generations, a strong man like the Third Hokage, who could easily kill Orochimaru, would inevitably become a shriveled old man in the end.

As for Onoki in Boruto...ahem, no comment.

Hanzo had also woken up at this time. He was right in his bet. He did have a body that could adapt to natural energy.

But he didn't have time to feel the changes in his body now.

He, Motohisa, the great elder, and several elders were surrounding Shimada Hidenaga.

"Hanzo..."

Xiuchang said suddenly.
