"Konan, I'm entrusting the protection of Amegakure to you while I'm away."
Gu Mu gave a command to Xiao Nan beside him.
"Yes!!"
Konan nodded earnestly, as if she could already see peace in the ninja world waving at her.
Nagato, Yahiko, is our Akatsuki's wish finally about to come true?
Chapter 154 Let the war begin!
The fact that he was able to persuade the three great ninja nations to unite was undoubtedly Obito Uchiha's doing.
In order to prevent the White Zetsu from burrowing underground, Koki could only lead one-third of his ninjas to fight.
The remaining two-thirds of the ninjas stayed here to prevent their base from being raided.
Although it was only a third of the ninjas, it was enough for Koki to change the course of the battle.
The battle took place on a rather vast plain within the Land of Rain.
Gu Mu led a thousand ninjas, standing against the wind, watching the three-nation allied forces slowly appear on the horizon not far away, his face expressionless.
"No, Kakashi-sensei, can we really win?"
Sakura Haruno looked at Iwagakure, which liked to operate with sheer numbers, and Kumogakure, which had the strongest overall ninja combat strength. Compared to them, their total number of ninjas was already small.
But now, they've only sent out one-third of their ninjas.
Isn't this a bit too presumptuous?
"Sakura, don't panic, everyone is here. You are a medical ninja, so stay in the rear and be ready to help the wounded at any time."
Kakashi Hatake offered words of comfort to Sakura Haruno.
"Um, Kakashi-sensei, I also want to go to the battlefield."
Sakura Haruno was speechless, as if she were someone who was dispensable.
"By the way, where's Sasuke-kun?"
Sakura Haruno had already given up on Sasuke, but according to Kakashi Hatake, he seems to have returned to Konoha.
"I don't know, maybe she's with Danzo?"
Kakashi Hatake slowly shook his head.
He always felt that something was off about Sasuke, but he didn't tell Sakura.
......
"The evil Akatsuki organization, this is your last chance."
"If there are any ninjas who want to abandon the darkness and join the light, we will take them in. I believe there are many ninjas in your area whose families have been destroyed by the Akatsuki."
"Come on, join us, let's defeat the Akatsuki and usher in a bright future."
Standing at the forefront of the allied forces was Gaara, who looked somewhat weak.
They are trying to persuade the ancient tree to surrender.
"What's going on? Gaara, how come he's on the other side?"
Jiraiya, the Konoha representative who was standing next to the old tree, asked with some confusion.
"It's simple, it's Obito Uchiha's method." Koki's calm reply left Kakashi Hatake with some questions.
He immediately turned his head and looked at the ancient tree a few more times, thinking that he must have misheard.
"Obito Uchiha?"
"A member of the Uchiha clan?"
Jiraiya glanced warily at Uchiha Shizumi, who was standing next to Koki.
No, are all the Uchiha clan members this terrifying?
I heard the name Uchiha Obito again.
Kakashi immediately shook his head, believing that it was probably because it shared the same name as Obito.
After all, his comrade Obito Uchiha had already died in the Battle of Kannabe Bridge while trying to save him.
"It's just three more shadows; it won't affect the outcome of the war."
Gu Mu's expression was calm, and his seemingly disdainful attitude made Jiraiya secretly sigh that Danzo had made the right decision.
Now, with the die hanging in the balance, they have no choice but to fight to the death.
"Hey, any of you who want to defect, hurry up, or you'll miss your chance."
Koki spoke to the ninja behind him who seemed to have no fighting spirit.
Of course, most of those who lacked the will to fight were Konoha ninjas, because they were all forced to come by Danzo and the heads of the various clans.
As for the Hidden Mist ninjas, each with sharp eyes, they crouched on the ground, staring straight ahead, even after experiencing the chaos of the Blood Mist.
Many assassination squads still survived.
Their ancestors, to varying degrees, had all followed the Second Mizukage in battle.
Now, being able to fight alongside the legendary Second Mizukage, as told by our fathers, is incredibly exhilarating.
"Hey, look around! Don't embarrass the Leaf Village ninjas!!"
"Your hatred for the Akatsuki organization vanished long ago with the disappearance of the former Akatsuki leader."
"As for the reason for the battle, it's for the sake of Konoha, which we've always protected!!" Jiraiya turned around, looking at the listless Konoha ninjas, his tone serious.
Compared to the Hidden Mist ninja around them, they were worlds apart.
If they were to actually go to war with the nearby Hidden Mist Village, Konoha would have almost no chance of winning.
"war!!"
"war!!"
When the Konoha ninja heard Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, speak, they all began to echo his sentiments.
Jiraiya would not have agreed if it weren't for that.
He should actually have been the Fifth Hokage.
Therefore, everyone largely agreed with Jiraiya's words.
"It seems they have no intention of surrendering."
Onoki sat cross-legged on a huge stone statue and began to regulate his breathing.
For the first time, he felt that the air outside was so wonderful.
"Ah."
The Fourth Raikage, A, nodded and, with the help of a medical ninja, quickly recovered. He then looked at the white-masked man beside him and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to cooperate with Orochimaru."
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha coldly replied, "You know how strong those two are. Without outside help, how could we possibly win?"
"You all know the plan, right? To hold back the people here, the 100,000 White Zetsu army will flank and attack Amegakure from behind, then take Amegakure in one fell swoop, forming a pincer movement."
Upon hearing this, Raikage's eyes flickered again, and then he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, masked man, I didn't expect you to have secretly accumulated such a great deal of power."
"If it weren't for the Akatsuki organization, I think we should be enemies."
Upon hearing the word "100,000 White Zetsu," Onoki nodded with considerable satisfaction.
It seems that the balance of power in this war has completely tilted in their favor.
Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.
Before the war began, everyone consciously adhered to one principle.
A Kage-level ninja generally wouldn't easily take action against a ninja below the Jonin level.
After all, a Kage-level ninja fighting against a Chunin or Genin is a one-sided massacre.
Neither side wanted to see their own rank and rank ninja so easily slaughtered.
However, this only applies to the initial stage.
As the story progresses, everyone becomes bloodthirsty, caring nothing for whether you're a Kage-level fighter or not. As long as you can bleed, they'll overwhelm you with sheer numbers until you're annihilated.
"Then, let's start the war!!"
As Obito Uchiha finished speaking, the allied forces of the three countries charged forward with great momentum, unleashing their chakra and rushing towards the ancient tree.
Chapter 155: Despair as if facing the apocalypse
"Lord Orochimaru, do you need us to summon a spirit?"
Watching the allied forces of the three kingdoms charging into battle.
Kabuto Yakushi, who was standing next to Orochimaru, had a glint in his eyes.
Under Orochimaru's guidance, Kabuto Yakushi's power has now been greatly enhanced.
