On the border of the Land of Fire, nearly 100,000 shinobi and samurai gathered.
They were all shinobi from the five major shinobi villages, and some were samurais of the Land of Iron.
At this moment, when Akatsuki announced the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War of resistance, they all put aside their differences and prepared to resist Akatsuki together.
"Is this... is this... Wood Release?"
The Fourth Raikage took the Third Raikage and looked at the creation of Wood Release in front of them in some surprise. He thought that no one was capable of Wood Release except for Uchiha Obito.
He never expected that...
'Sure enough, Konoha is Konoha.'
"Who are they?"
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki scowled as he looked at the shinobi from Kumogakure.
"Unexpectedly, the Fourth Raikage actually resurrected the Gold and Silver brothers as well!"
Looking at several people who were reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation by the Fourth Raikage in Kumogakure, Ōnoki slightly frowned.
'The Gold and Silver Brothers and the Third Raikage ...'
'It looks like the Fourth Raikage is well prepared this time...'
Glancing at the Second Tsuchikage beside him, Ōnoki looked at the other shinobi villages.
Ōnoki's face slightly cleared up once he saw the people Sunagakure chose to reincarnate.
The Impure World Reincarnation technique would indeed increase the strength of the Allied Shinobi Forces in the shinobi world. Still, at the same time, it was also a comparison of the past strengths of various shinobi villages.
With all the villages having resurrected a Kage, the other Impure World Reincarnated people were the backbones of the villages.
Especially now, when every village had learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Therefore, in Ōnoki's view, this allied force was also touched on testing the strength of each shinobi village.
"Mizukage, why didn't you bring Yagura back to life?"
Ōnoki's gaze twitched slightly at the sight of the few lone Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist behind Terumī Mei.
Although he thought Terumī Mei wasn't the same kind of person as Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, But in this case, he couldn't really think of any reason other than that Terumī Mei was saving her strength.
"That's something hard to do. He was melted down to nothing, and we couldn't find raw materials for the Impure World Reincarnation."
Terumī Mei's somewhat bitter voice rang out. Indeed, if she hadn't struck so hard at that time and left her opponent's body intact, she wouldn't have a hard time resurrecting people with the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
...
"Kages, please come together!"
Senju Tsunade's figure appeared at the top. As her voice fell, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, and the others approached her.
For the sake of efficiency, as early as on the road, they had already discussed how to divide the forces. So, at the moment, they were simply going through the motions.
"The Supreme Commander of the Second Shinobi Allied Forces: The Fourth Raikage, Ay!"
"The General Council of the Second Shinobi Allied Forces, the Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade!"
"The Chief Captain of the Second Shinobi Allied Forces, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki!"
"Acting Staff Officer, Nara Shikaku and Mabui."
"Captain of the Special Intelligence Unit, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Ao."
"Captain of the Special Raid Unit, Hatake Sakumo!"
"The First Unit: Mid-Range Combined Forces Detachment Leader, Chiyo!"
"The Second Unit: Captain of the Close Combat Combined Forces Detachment, Terumī Mei!"
"The Third Unit: ..."
The appointed people were sent out quickly. Whether it was the shinobi at the bottom or the appointed people, they got some news long before coming. So, at the moment, there was no surprise.
...
"Reporting!!!"
"Commander!"
"We have just received word from the shinobi Villages. A few hours ago, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure were invaded by an unknown shinobi at the same time.
The Nibi, the Yonbi, the Gobi, and the Rokubi's Jinchūriki were attacked at the same time, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"What?!"
Hearing the report from the shinobi below, the Fourth Raikage and Senju Tsunade were startled at the same time.
On the other hand, Ōnoki's face instantly darkened.
"Was it Akatsuki?"
Terumī Mei's delicate face was also unusually ugly at the moment.
Fearing that the Jinchūriki would be in danger, the various Shinobi villages jointly decided not to take the Jinchūriki into battle.
But who would have thought that when they had just left, the Jinchūriki of each village was attacked?
"It can't be Akatsuki!"
The Fourth Raikage shook his head and firmly said so.
Although the main force of the Shinobi Allied Forces hadn't marched yet, the intelligence forces had already arrived on the battlefield, eyeing Akatsuki's people.
Since there had been no news of anything unusual from the other side until now, it was certain that Akatsuki was still under surveillance. It was simply not possible for them to strike at the Jinchūriki of the three ninja villages at the same time.
"Could it be Black Zetsu?"
Senju Tsunade's eyes slightly narrowed.
Since the last live broadcast, after Black Zetsu went to the Moon-Earth Portal, the shinobi world had never heard from him again.
But Senju Tsunade had always felt that Black Zetsu had managed to save Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
After all, with his scheming, he didn't have to expose himself after accomplishing his goal.
And the message from Hatake Kakashi also revealed what Black Zetsu was planning.
"It's not just Black Zetsu. If it was just him, there's no way all three villages would have been invaded at the same time."
The Fourth Raikage's face was as cold as ice, unlike other Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, his Kumogakure's Nibi's Jinchūriki was the perfect Jinchūriki!
Kumogakure's loss was too great!
"Wait!"
When Ōnoki heard the Fourth Raikage's voice, he realized something.
'Among the five shinobi villages, Iwagakure wasn't the only one with two Tailed Beasts!'
"Fourth Raikage, where is the Hachibi's Jinchūriki?"
The corners of Ōnoki's eyes twitched violently. It was obvious that he was angry.
Four Jinchūriki were attacked, and the two in Iwagakure were on the list!
It was a total loss!
Glancing at Ōnoki's face, the Fourth Raikage looked at their Chief Captain with an expressionless face.
"Killer B, come out!"
Swish!
As the Fourth Raikage's voice fell, a figure suddenly shot up from the crowd below.
The Third Tsuchikage fixed his eyes on the Hachibi's Jinchūriki, Killer B.
"Good trick!"
The Third Tsuchikage had an ugly expression on, but at the moment, he still couldn't help but nod his head.
He never expected that the Fourth Raikage would gamble so boldly!
'He actually brought Hachibi's Killer B to the battlefield!'
'Isn't he afraid of being identified by Akatsuki as a priority target?'
"The battle with Akatsuki can't be fought carelessly.
In the forces from Kumogakure, you have me! The Third Raikage! And the Gold and Silver Brothers!
This is the strongest force of Kumogakure..."
At this point, the Fourth Raikage didn't explain any further.
But even so, Ōnoki and others recognized his implication.
If such a force couldn't guarantee Killer B's safety, then even if Killer B were placed in Kumogakure, it wouldn't help.
The Third Tsuchikage took a deep look at the Fourth Raikage. For the first time, he felt that this muscle-brained brute could be so terrifyingly calculating.
It was clearly a big gamble, but he got it right.
The Third Tsuchikage had some regrets, but at the moment, it was obvious that things could no longer be changed.
"Well done!
We wouldn't have thought of it, and neither would Black Zetsu or Akatsuki."
"No matter who attacked the Jinchūriki, they have to get all the Tailed Beasts to make it effective."
"Now, Akatsuki has the Ichibi and Kyūbi, and we have the Hachibi."
"No matter who the other party is, they would definitely appear in front of us."
Senju Tsunade's voice sounded. Then, before Tsunade continued, Hyūga Hiashi suddenly appeared in front of everyone with a gloomy face.
"Hokage-sama, the news came from the Hyūga clansmen left behind in Konoha.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri attacked Konoha and seized Hyūga Neji's Byakugan."
Then, Hyūga Hiashi looked at others and added:
"The messenger said: Ōtsutsuki Toneri declared that he would kill everyone in the shinobi world!"
"Ōtsutsuki Toneri!?"
"That Akayigan guy?"
Hearing Hyūga Hiashi's words, everyone was startled.
