Whoosh!

The moment the patrolling Konoha ninja took out the flare, a blue lightning struck.

boom!

The intense pain caused the patrolling ninja's pupils to dilate, and then he flew backwards like a cannonball.

"Fight quickly!" Yondaime Ai ordered to the Kumogakure jounin who were rushing behind him.

Although Konoha did not deploy ninja troops nearby due to the limit on the number of ninjas, there are still some ninjas on the border to guard the border.

The first thing Yondaime and the others have to do is to eliminate Konoha's border protection force in the northern part of the Fire Country, so that Konoha loses its vision of the northern part of the Fire Country to a certain extent.

Kumogakure never thought of defeating Konoha with a ninja force of 1,200 people. They were just the vanguard, responsible for opening up the situation.

Whizzing!!

The Kumogakure jounin took the lead and swept around at high speed, wiping out all the Konoha ninja within sight.

There were fewer ninjas patrolling at night than during the day. Under the sweep of Kumogakure's army, there was no time to send the news back to Konoha. At most, they could only remind the nearby teams, but it was of no avail.

However, in this sensitive war period, there is no news. In fact, it is still news, but it is noticed a little later.

Several border patrol teams suddenly lost contact, which aroused Konoha's great attention, and they quickly asked elite teams of nearby ninja troops to investigate.

"How did Orochimaru become the commander? Even when the Iwagakure troops were about to attack the northwest defense line, they did not mobilize the ninjas of his ninja unit, but Kumogakure unexpectedly came in without saying a word!"

Seeing the unfavorable information coming from the front line, Mito Monohan, who was relatively calm, couldn't help but speak a little more fiercely.

Shimura Danzo had just died, and Konoha was invaded by Kumogakure and invaded the mainland. This will undoubtedly make other great ninja villages covet Konoha.

"The demise of the roots has left us with a considerable loss of intelligence capabilities. If Danzo hadn't died in the Land of Rain with the roots, maybe Orochimaru would have noticed Kumogakure's actions." After sleeping, Koharu still expressed his concern for Danzo Shimura.

Hidden secret actions are deeply regretful.

Just seek death and bring so much trouble to Konoha.

"The most important thing now is not to hold anyone accountable, but to solve the problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized as he knocked on the table.

"There is an unknown number of enemy ninja troops in the country. This is not only a threat to the Country of Fire, but also a huge threat to Konoha."

There are no rules in ninja wars that do not harm the locals. If given the chance, Kumogakure would definitely be willing to cover the entire Konoha in the flames of war.

"Why don't you let Jiraiya take the troops back to the country and go to the north? Then let Orochimaru mobilize the troops to cooperate with Jiraiya. This should be able to wipe out Kumogakure in the north." Koharu said after sleeping.

Jiraiya's ninja troops are in the Country of Grass, which is northwest of the Country of Fire, while Orochimaru's ninja troops are in the Country of Yu, which is northeast of the Country of Fire.

The two major ninja forces set out from their own directions. Even if Kumogakure had a ninja force of two thousand people, they might not be able to withstand it.

"Jiraiya, don't move." Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately objected.

"Iwagakure has had a lot of grievances with us in recent years. If Jiraiya's troops withdraw, Iwagakure is very likely to gather ninja troops again for a raid." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said.

Although Iwagakure has always been defeated in the war between Iwagakure and Konoha, it is not enough for the five great ninja villages. Iwagakure still poses a huge threat to Konoha.

"Let Minato or Muzuki go, and then allocate some ninjas from various troops and Konoha to assist." Mito Kadoyan thought for a while and said.

There are many ninjas in Konoha who are qualified to lead ninja troops, and many senior jounin are qualified. However, if you add a prerequisite that they must be able to destroy or repel the enemy ninja troops, then the range of options becomes smaller.

Basically, only the strongest people of a certain era are eligible.

"This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the Daimyo to explain."

Although the daimyo only leads Konoha in name only, as Konoha is the official military force of the Fire Country, Konoha has the responsibility to defend the Fire Country. The Fire Country is invaded by foreign enemies, and this is Konoha's fault.

"Then Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

When it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, both Minato and Mu Yue can do it, but when it comes to developing a training team, Minato will definitely not be able to compete with Mu Yue.

So when Minato could spare time, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to send Mugetsu.

…

Due to the death of Shimura Danzo, all major ninja villages are sending additional spies to the Fire Country and are very concerned about the situation in the Fire Country.

As a result, the information that the Kumogakure ninja troops had breached the Fire Country's defense line quickly reached the office desks of the leaders of the major ninja villages.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Office.

The Third Mizukage put down the information and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a heartfelt smile.

"Sure enough, there are those who can't bear the loneliness who take action first."

The Third Mizukage wanted to defeat Konoha, regain the face he had lost before, and at the same time ask Konoha to return Kirigakure's ninja swords.

However, he didn't want to be the first person and had been waiting for a big brother to take the lead.

"Let Yagura come here." The third Mizukage called out the ANBU and ordered.

Although Gotachibana Yagura's last defeat was quite tragic, the Third Mizukage believed that the main reason was not due to Gotachibana Yagura itself, but because the opponent's strength exceeded expectations.

When Mu Yue didn't go to the Kirigakure battlefield, let alone Kirigakure, even Konoha didn't expect Mu Yue to have such strength.

"Sandaime-sama!" Gotachibana Yagura greeted the Third Mizukage with respect after arriving at the Mizukage's office.

The Third Mizukage has always raised him as the Fourth Mizukage, and Gouju Yagura has always kept him in mind, and their relationship is very good.

"This time you will be the commander of the troops. Work hard and recover everything we Kirigakure lost." The Third Mizukage said with a smile.

Goju Yagura looked at the Third Mizukage with a grateful expression.

Since he was protected by the Third Mizukage, the last defeat did not cause him much criticism, but Gotachibana Yagura still felt tormented by this in his heart.

Because he is a ninja with his own pride. After suffering such a tragic failure, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of you and the village. This time I will definitely defeat the Konoha ninja army!" Goji Yagura said with a serious face.

Since that great defeat, Goju Yagura learned from the experience and not only learned more military tactics, but also strengthened his own training.

This change is not enough to be considered a transformation, but it is definitely an improvement compared to before.

Facing the same situation, he has the confidence to do better than before.

"As long as you have this confidence." The Third Mizukage said with a smile.

Confidence is a very important thing. If you don’t believe that you can do it, how can you make others believe that you can do it?

"Don't be impatient when you arrive at the Country of Waves. Wait for my order."

Kumogakure has only entered the Land of Fire with his troops and has not yet had a fierce collision with Konoha's ninja troops, so the Third Mizukage is not in a hurry to let Yagura launch an attack.

The current situation in the Ninja world is in chaos. If there is a chance, they may not even attack the Land of Fire, but choose another big country.

Revenge is important, but we must not forget the original intention of participating in the war. Kirigakure participated in the Ninja World War because it wanted to share the interests of the continent, not anything else.

…

Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage Office.

"There hasn't been a war with Konoha's ninja troops yet." Luosha put down the information in his hand with a look of regret.

He just wanted to see the blood flowing from the fight between Konoha and Kumogakure, no matter whose blood it was.

Kumogakure took advantage of the situation when Sunagakure was in civil turmoil and struck out with heavy punches, giving Sunagakure several severe blows.

Even Sunagakure, who was one of the top five ninja villagers and had a great business, became weak after experiencing the continuous blows from civil strife and Kumogakure's invasion.

Therefore, Luo Sha was eager to see Yunyin suffer misfortune.

As for Konoha, the reason is even simpler. The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire are separated by the Kingdom of River, so the distance is too close.

Rasa doesn't want a neighbor who is stronger than Sunagakure. If he has a choice, he wants a neighbor who needs Sunagakure's help and is half-dead.

Neighbors who can help Sunagakure are good neighbors.

…

Compared to Kirigakure, who is ready to take action, and Sunagakure, who is indifferent, Iwagakure's approach to facing the current situation in the ninja world is a different choice.

The Kingdom of Rain, the City of Six Paths.

"In today's ninja world, there is probably no ninja who doesn't know Sosuke." Huang Tu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at this increasingly prosperous town.

When he first came to Liudao City, it was not even as good as some remote villages, but now it is a seemingly more prosperous town.

Soyousuke's growth was even more exaggerated than that of Rokudo Castle. When he first knew Soyousuke, Soyousuke was only a slightly famous ninja in the Land of Rain.

Now, Soyousuke has become famous in the ninja world and has become a legendary ninja that surpasses the demigod Hanzo.

"As expected of him." When thinking of Soyousuke's character and abilities, Huang Tu felt that everything was normal.

Then Huang Tu withdrew his gaze and went straight to the Ninja sect's stronghold.

Huangtu often served as the representative of Iwagakure to interact with the Ninja sect. Most of the Ninja ninjas were familiar with Huangtu and soon met Soyousuke in the Ninja sect's reception room.

"We, Iwagakure, are deeply sorry for what happened to Noble Sect. I didn't expect that Konoha is still evil and covets the Land of Rain." Huang Tushou said the words he had memorized in advance.

It would be a bit embarrassing for him to come up with these words by himself.

Seeing Huang Tu's resolute expression saying that she was sorry, Mu Yue felt that Huang Tu's grades in the disguise class must not have been very good when he went to ninja school.

"It's not necessarily that Konoha covets the Rain Country, maybe it's just that Shimura Danzo himself is biased against me." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

He could guess the purpose of Iwagakure Village just by thinking about it.
