Looking to the side, the man's pupils dilated when he saw a kunai embedded in the ground.
But this was not unusual on a battlefield where weapons fly constantly and everywhere.
But there was something that terrified him.
And it was the explosive tag attached to the kunai and the fact that the kunai had fallen just a few centimeters from the secret place where he kept the hundreds of thousands of explosive tags.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
A huge and terrifying explosion occurred in the middle of the samurai army camp, wiping out most of the samurai and injuring the remaining survivors.
The Uzumaki, on the other hand, suffered no losses.
Apparently they knew what was about to happen and protected themselves in advance using barriers and earthen walls.
Therefore, after the effects of the explosion subsided, the redheads came out from behind their defenses and immediately attacked the survivors who were still in shock and easily began to be eliminated.

In the sky, high above the battlefield, a flying ship floated while it was not visible to the eye.
Inside that ship, Commander Uzumaki Tenshin and the ship's crew watched the battle unfolding on land on the big screen.
In addition to sending reinforcements at any time for the Uzumaki army on land, his task was to record the battle to keep a record of each soldier's merits.
And as they expected, their help was not needed and the battle on the ground ended in a short time.
As always, fallen enemies were incinerated and buried, while survivors were subdued and then interrogated.
Unconscious, none of them knew when the ship in the sky descended and then they were taken inside and locked in special cells.
As the Uzumaki army returned to the city, the ship returned to the sky while maintaining its invisibility.
Tenshin and his crew were still on the bridge, with Tenshin about to give the order to move the ship and continue patrolling the area around the last conquered city.
But suddenly, the man stopped and looked intently at the bridge's main screen.
And not only him, but everyone on the bridge also saw the message appear on the screen.
In the form of a letter, the icon displayed on the screen was scarlet red, demonstrating the importance of this message sent by the clan.
This ship was not the only one that received the message; all other ships in the three countries did as well.
Knowing it was urgent, everyone didn't dare ignore the message and opened it.
"Really?"
"Are you serious?"
All the commanders and crew members on the more than 40 ships flying over the captured territories in the 3 countries read the message and did not believe it at first.
Super powerful warriors?
The message mentioned that the temples had secret techniques to empower a warrior to unimaginable levels, and three of them were heading towards the three battlefields.
"Do you think that's true, Father?"
In the main ship, which at that moment was flying above the land of lightning, an excited Utsui asked his father.
Utsui had grown up surrounded by praise for his talent all his life.
And although he accepted that he was arrogant, he had confidence in his talent to be the best of all.
Even seeing the strength of the Uzumaki patriarch through images, the young man was only surprised for a few seconds before arrogantly declaring that he would surpass the patriarch and that this war was a great opportunity to prove his worth.
Unfortunately for him, he hadn't had the opportunity to fight until now.
After all, the Uzumaki had the advantage.
But now that he knew troublesome enemies had appeared, he hoped he could fight now.
In the main chair of the command bridge, Tsuji shook his head.
"But Dad...!"
"I said no!"
Utsui tried to convince his father, but his father shouted his refusal, scaring his son for a moment.
Regaining his composure, the young man looked around and felt humiliated by the stares he was receiving from the crew.
Angered, the young man turned around and stormed out of the ship's command room.
Tsuji sensed his son leaving the command room, but he didn't care as he was busy thinking about the message he had received.
Unlike his son who thought too highly of himself, he was more aware of his strength and what the strength of the patriarch meant.
Although many, like his son, thought they had talent and believed they could possess the patriarch's strength in the future with a little training, he and his like-minded colleagues had reached an insurmountable bottleneck.
It is because of the stagnation of their forces that they pointed elsewhere to improve their conditions.
Usurp the power of the Uzumaki patriarch.
Unfortunately for them, they were in for a huge surprise and had to rethink their plans when the patriarch demonstrated his terrifying power.
Although Tsuji and his companions may not want to admit it, they did not have the strength to defeat the patriarch in a fair fight.
Many of them saw this invasion of the 3 major countries as another avenue for developing their plans.
Not only would they take revenge on the three major countries for attacking them, but they could also expand the territory ruled by the clan, making it more difficult for the patriarch to keep an eye on them.
So far everything was going well.
The Uzumaki clan had the advantage, and only a few ninjas had been killed or seriously injured.
Disappointed by the power of the great countries, they already expected to end this war in the coming months.
But it turns out they had underestimated the enemy.
Apparently they had a secret card, and it was very powerful.
Tsuji analyzed the message and was sure that he wasn't the only one interested in this secret method for increasing one's strength.
If they managed to get their hands on this secret method, their plans had a greater chance of succeeding.
Of course, not all the commanders of each flying ship belonged to the same group as Tsuji and Tenshin, but they were equally interested in this secret method.
Excited, Tsuji, Tenshin, and the others quickly ordered their subordinates to search for these individuals at the coordinates listed in the message and smiled when they found them.
As the message said, they didn't have to do anything and the targets would come to them.
They quickly issued more orders to have the army ready to receive this important guest.
One hour later, on the three battlefields in the three major countries, all the flying ships were watching the sky above each city.
And without having to wait much longer, they could see a cloud of dust on the ground approaching from a distance.
The large screens in each ship focused on those clouds of dust and watched in disbelief as a person ran towards them, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
They were samurai.
The three men ran at high speed towards the last captured cities, where the surrounding areas had become war zones.
And when the 3 samurai arrived outside the 3 cities respectively, they stopped to look at the rubble that remained of the battlefield.

Ryuzaki Reizo was a samurai loyal to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
A member of the Ryuzaki family, a multi-generational family of samurai under the command of the Lightning Daimyo, the man was chosen for an important task.
Try the secret method of the monks of the temple of lightning to obtain power beyond your imagination.
Although he was warned in advance about the suspicions against these monks and the side effects they might have hidden, the man did not back down and decided to continue with the procedure.
After all, his master and everything he and his family believed in was in grave danger.
Another monster like Hashirama Senju had appeared, and this one was not interested in peace.
Ignoring the fact that the great countries attacked the Uzumaki clan first, Reizo viewed the red-haired clan as the villains who plunged the world into misery and had to be stopped at all costs.
That is why he continued with the procedure despite the potential dangers.
Although he didn't like praying to a god he didn't believe in and didn't understand how it happened, Reizo obtained enormous power with which he was sure he would finish off the enemy.
The monks informed him after the loss of life expectancy to gain more power, but Reizo did not plan to use much to expel the Uzumaki clan from the land of lightning before returning to his Daimyo and reporting on his newfound power.
But the moment he saw the battlefield and the bodies of his comrades on a still-burning pyre, Reizo saw red and glared with murderous fury at the enemy hiding behind the barrier.
