Two days later, many tents were set up not far from the Land of Fire's border, as the united ninja forces of the four major ninja villages gathered, preparing to besiege Konoha.
The entire Land of Fire seemed to be on the brink of an unprecedented storm, with ninjas stationed at the border ready to attack at any moment.
This was an unprecedented, allied operation, unimaginable that the four great ninja villages would join forces against Konoha.
The once strongest village of the shinobi world was now facing its end.
Ultimately, they had their eyes on the fertile lands and other resource of the Land of Fire.
They knew that this war would be followed by a great battle, as the hatred between the major countries was deep-rooted.
This was an opportunity the Kage couldn't miss.
Throughout history, in every Shinobi World War, Konoha had emerged victorious.
But after two invasions, they believed Konoha no longer had the strength to resist. This was, after all, the allied forces of four nations.
The war was about to break out, and Konoha's ninjas could already smell it in the air.
They wouldn't blindly attack and charge into battle, knowing that a reckless onslaught, while eventually leading to victory, would come at a disproportionate cost.
On a towering peak, Kakashi and other Jonin looked at the dark mass of the allied forces below, feeling a chill despite their battle-hardened experiences.
They had never seen such a scene before. Were these great nations really so eager to eliminate Konoha?
The hope of Konoha's victory rested solely on Ryujiro.
Without his power, they couldn't possibly withstand such a massive ninja army.
Besides the ninjas, the samurai of the Land of Fire also joined the war, as the Land of Fire had a cooperative relationship with Konoha and was bound to provide assistance.
If Konoha fell, the Land of Fire wouldn't escape unscathed either.
Everyone except Ryujiro felt the heaviness of the situation.
They needed to observe the movements of the allied forces, while the allied forces required intelligence on the Land of Fire and Konoha's internal status.
Naturally, Konoha also had spies from other villages.
This war was intriguing and Konoha didn't gather too many troops, following Ryujiro's strategy.
Ryujiro knew that in the world of ninjas, numbers didn't determine advantage. Uchiha Madara, for instance, had slaughtered thousands with ease.
Now, Ryujiro possessed such strength. The start of this war would be signaled by him.
"Are you ready?"
Ryujiro asked the group of Jonin behind him calmly.
Kakashi and the others nodded heavily, their faces solemn.
"Swish—" In an instant, Ryujiro's figure vanished.
"That's not the Body Flicker Jutsu."
Everyone knew Ryujiro didn't use the Body Flicker Jutsu, as they couldn't trace his direction if he had.
"Leave it to him. At this point, we can only trust him."
"His words are indeed inspiring and desirable. If he can truly create a peaceful world, our sacrifice would be worth it."
The Jonin fell silent, recalling Ryujiro's words in the meeting room, which seemed like a fantasy.
Such things they never dared to imagine, not even the previous Hokages.
Unifying the entire shinobi world required immense strength.
When they doubted, they saw Ryujiro's unwavering eyes, and in that moment, they were convinced by him.
Recalling everything Ryujiro had done for Konoha, repeatedly resolving crises, this young man had become reliable.
Several shinobi world wars had broken out in history, each a tragedy for both ninjas and their families.
If the current state of the shinobi world could truly change, they were willing to sacrifice their lives.
In the sky, Ryujiro stood, his eyes cold and emotionless.
At the same time, another figure appeared beside him.
Hinata's appearance didn't surprise Ryujiro.
Perhaps no one knew they would be in the sky, a power possessed only by the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.
Moreover, they were hidden in the clouds.
"Ryujiro-kun."
Hinata's delicate voice reached Ryujiro's ears. Her blue eyes, with ice-flower patterns, were beautiful. Ryujiro put an arm around Hinata's shoulders and said lightly, "If I become an executioner, would you be afraid?"
Hinata shook her head. "No matter what Ryujiro-kun does, I will support you."
Ryujiro's lips curled slightly. "Is that so."
The four-nation alliance was nothing but a joke.
Let him change the history of the shinobi world.
As for Obito and Black Zetsu behind the scenes, let's see what they can do.
Uchiha Madara, huh... truly exciting.
Below, the ninja allied forces were preparing for an attack, scouting the surroundings.
The commander of the Kirigakure forces, Ao, used his Byakugan to detect no sign of Konoha ninjas.
Strange. Konoha's attitude towards the war seemed odd.
The surrounding environment was too quiet, as if Konoha wasn't taking the war seriously.
What was Konoha planning?
The intelligence department reported that although Konoha's civilians had been moved to safety.
The Jonin and special forces remained in the village without any action.
Facing the four-nation alliance, even a powerful village like Konoha had no solution.
Just then, a sharp rainbow light pierced through the clouds, dazzling and blinding. A meteor? Or a falling star?
As the ninja alliance watched in confusion, Ao felt a terrifying sense of crisis and shouted.
"Run!"
It wasn't a chakra-based ninjutsu but pure sword energy, which the sensory team didn't detect immediately.
"Boom——"
The slash pierced the ground, raising the land and creating a dust storm that swept the surroundings.
The powerful slash engulfed the ninja alliance's camp.
In an instant, the sword energy erupted, spreading around, with blood blooming in the air.
The screams echoed throughout the allied camp.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"
"Enemy! Where is the enemy!"
