Early the next morning.
Kakashi led the Anbu army from Konoha Gate, accompanied by Sasuke and Naruto.
Shisui and Itachi led the Root army, and followed closely from behind.
Finally, Jiraiya led the regular army, escorting Tsunade and Sandaime Hokage to the gathering place of the Five Kage.
At this time, in Konoha, only a few old and weak women and children remained.
All of the Genin were also left behind, and were told to stay in the village.
"Konohamaru, Naruto-niichan and the others adult have all gone to participate in the war, and there are only a few of us left in the village." Moegi said with a bit of disappointment.
"Yeah, I'm afraid that this war is probably the biggest one in history." Konohamaru said solemnly.
"Konohamaru, should we follow after Naruto-niichan to see it?" Udon asked curiously.
Konohamaru, who they originally thought would agree, shook his head and said, "No, we can't go. This time, it is not the kind of playful battle from before, but it is really a battlefield with life and death. Our strength is still too weak. If we followed the army, not only can we not kill the enemy, but it may affect the performance of others."
"Konohamaru..." Moegi said in surprise.
After all, the answer she got is completely different from the Konohamaru she knows.
"Moegi, Udon, we should grow up." Konohamaru said with solemn eyes while looking at the distance.
Seeing the solemn expressions of Sandaime and Asuma in the past few days, Konohamaru also understands how dangerous the war this time is.
"Then, we will protect Kurenai-sensei!" Moegi suddenly said.
"That's right! Kurenai-sensei is still pregnant, so she must have a lot of inconvenience. After Asuma-sensei is gone, she must really need help." Udon said.
"Yeah, let's go!" Konohamaru nodded in response.
Looking at the direction of the army's departure, Konohamaru said in his heart: 'Jii-chan, Asuma-jichan, Naruto-niichan, you all must come back safely.'
Konoha, Ichiraku Ramen.
Ayame who is cleaning the table sighed and then said to Teuchi who is on the door: "Tou-san, the war has started, and the business in the shop has become bad. I wonder how long this war will go on."
When he heard this, Teuchi smiled and said: "Ayame, the war this time will not be too long. It may only take one month."
"Tou-san, how do you know?" Ayame asked with some surprise.
"Haha, many things are not as complicated as they seem to be. This time, the war seems to be very huge, but in fact, the real victory or defeat will only be decided between a few people."
"Between a few people? Tou-san, who is it?"
"Madara, Obito, Orochimaru, Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi."
When it came to the last name, the eyes that had been squinted all the year round opened slightly, and a sharp light flashed by.
"Then Tou-san, who do you think will win?" Ayame asked curiously.
"Haha, who knows. The world has become different. The outcome might depend on Kakashi's choice."
"Kakashi-nii is so powerful?" Ayame was surprised.
"He is the biggest variable. Whether he can really change the world or not depends on his own good fortune. I really hope to see a different ending."
After Teuchi said that, he looked at the sky.
In the clear sky, there are no clouds, but Teuchi's gaze seemed to pierce through the sky and see a different scenery.
Ayame fell into thoughts after hearing Teuchi's words.
The atmosphere of the war filled the entire Shinobi World.
The Shinobi Army of the Five Great Shinobi Villages has moved toward the Land of Grass next to the Land of Rain.
Almost at the same time, the armies of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the Land of Iron arrived one after another.
After some time, the Shinobi Army which consists of 80,000 people covered the plains on the outskirts of the Land of Grass.
The Five Kage are gathered in one place once again.
It's just that this time, there are more people than the last time.
From Konoha, there is addition of Jiraiya, Naruto and Sandaime Hokage, while the Land of Iron has Tetsuken, and Kumogakure has Killer B.
As for the other three villages, there is no change.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to leave Konoha. I thought that you were going to life in peace in Konoha." Sandaime Tsuchikage mocked.
"Haha, seeing Tsuchikage-dono is coming here, I naturally can't just stay in Konoha." Sandaime Hokage said with a smile.
"It seems that I am going to fight alongside you this time. This feeling is really uncomfortable." Sandaime Tsuchikage said with a sneer.
"Maybe it will be a good thing."
"Hmph."
Sandaime Tsuchikage snorted coldly and stopped talking.
At this time, Killer B greeted Naruto.
"Yo, Naruto, how is the Bijūdama training, Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
"Taco-ossan, don't worry, it's absolutely fine."
"Okay, show me at the battlefield later. Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
"No problem!" Naruto said excitedly.
Kakashi looks at the 80,000-strong army outside the city, and could not help but sigh with emotion: "80,000 Shinobi Army. There has never been a war of this scale."
"Haha, the scale is huge enough, but the next thing can be difficult." Sandaime Tsuchikage who is on the side said with a sneer.
"Tsuchikage-dono, what do you mean by that?" Mei asked as she didn't understand what Sandaime Tsuchikage meant.
Sandaime Tsuchikage did not directly explain, but pointed to the Shinobi Army outside and said: "Mizukage-dono, look at the expressions on the faces of those Shinobi."
"Huh?"
Mei was puzzled, but still looked at it.
She then saw that the expressions on the faces of those Shinobi were a bit weird, and there is even some with hatred.
The Five Great Shinobi Villages has always hated each other.
And about seventeen years has passed since the last Third Shinobi World War.
Seventeen years can turn a baby into a teenager, and a teenager into a middle-aged person.
And these people are the backbone of this war.
The hatred they have for the Shinobi of the other's villages cannot be eliminated in easily.
At this time, they are forced by the situation, and they must cooperate with each other.
But this kind of hatred is still inevitable.
And if this kind of emotion is not eliminated, teamwork is nothing but empty talk.
There may even some who will back stab their own allies.
If that happens, there is no need for one hundred thousand White Zetsu to appear. The Allied Shinobi Forces will all die in the civil war.
That will really become a big joke.
Sandaime Tsuchikage is the oldest Kage. With his experience, he can see the problems at a glance.
"It's true that this is a problem, but it is not that there is no solution." Kakashi said calmly.
"Hmm? Hatake Kakashi, are you sure you have the solution?" Sandaime Tsuchikage asked curiously.
"I don't have it, but one person does." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Who is it?"
"Godaime Kazekage, Gaara."
Gaara who is on the side was taken aback when he heard Kakashi's words. He didn't expect that Kakashi would mention his name at this time.
"Me?"
Kakashi patted Gaara on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Gaara, tell these people what Naruto has taught you."
