Kumo Shinobu Village, War Conference Room.
"The Sand Village has announced that they won't participate in the war against Wood Leaf for the time being. They can't even take care of themselves now."
On the left side of the rectangular table, the old Kumo Shinobu Village Elder said. As his voice fell, he glanced at the gloomy Raikage sitting at the top and continued.
"According to the detailed information that was just sent back not long ago, the time when the Sand's forces encountered Konoha's forces led by Namikaze Minato, and the time when our surprise attack force suffered heavy losses was less than two hours."
The old man's voice slowly fell, and the rest of the Kumo Shinobu Village Elders in the conference room couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Defeating the Yondaime Kazekage, fighting the Ichibi Shukaku, and then fighting against the Kumo Shinobu's surprise attack force.
This kind of thing, if it wasn't for conclusive information, no one would believe it.
Everyone in the meeting room was silent, and the old man who was more senior than the Raikage couldn't help but recall the name of Konoha during his youth, during the early days of the establishment of the five major countries.
At the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War, the shock brought by Minato reminded them of Konoha.
"So, on behalf of the Raikage-Sama, I now issue an order …"
"From now on, our Kumo Shinobu Village troops, no matter how many people there are, as long as they encounter Wood Leaf and Watergate, they can directly abandon the mission and escape …"
With the Raikage's temperament, it's impossible for him to issue such an order, but from the lessons learned from the Sand and Kumo Shinobu's surprise attack force, Night Tsuki's judgment wasn't wrong.
Because the real purpose of this order is to minimize the loss of Kumo Shinobu Village in the war.
As soon as this order was issued, it shocked all the high-level officials present, but when they thought of Minato's actions, they all silently lowered their eyes.
"The surprise attack force suffered heavy losses, and the army led by Sho Sho and Tsunade has crossed the Tang No Guk, so the surprise attack has lost its meaning. Now … we can only fight a war of attrition with Wood Leaf."
The old man said. In this war, the biggest advantage of the armies of several countries is the number of people, and even if Wood Leaf has a lot of talented people, the huge gap in the number of ninjas can't be made up.
Watergate has mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and can travel from one battlefield to another, how many people can he make up for the difference?
According to the information from the front line, at this time, Kumo Shinobu's army of 2,000 Wood Leaf has less than 1,500 ninjas.
At this time, the Raikage stood up and said: "Inform the Rock and Mist to increase the number of ninjas, and coordinate the time of the battle, and attack the Land of Fire from three sides."
"Also, tell Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Village, if he thinks that Wood Leaf can resist the armies of three countries at the same time, he can watch from the sidelines."
...
Wood Leaf, in the war room.
At the top of the conference room, there was a world map, and on the map were various colors, outlining the various battlefronts in the Third Shinobi World War.
In addition to several Wood Leaf elders, there was only Watergate.
Because basically, most of the village's core forces were sent to various battlefields.
Today, in Wood Leaf, only Watergate is a very special existence. He is now the strongest mobile force in Wood Leaf, and because of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he can travel from one battlefield to another.
In a few days, in addition to Watergate's participation in the battle between Kumo Shinobu and Sand, the Mist forces in the sea were finally about to arrive at the border of the Land of Fire.
However, the coastline of the Land of Fire is very long, so before they reach the shore, they can't find their specific whereabouts.
Wood Leaf elders also know that although the war has just begun, because of Watergate's consecutive victories, they can directly pass the tentative stage.
Next, the real war is about to begin, and this is the largest war since the establishment of the Shinobi World.
"The Rock and Kumo Shinobu are now gathering a large number of troops, and they intend to break our defense line in one fell swoop."
Sandaime said. Fortunately, Watergate released the Fourth Kazekage, and the Sand released the Ichibi. Now, the Sand is fully focused on capturing the Ichibi hidden in the desert of the Land of Wind, so they can't participate in the war.
Otherwise, if the Sand joined in, I'm afraid that even with the strength of Wood Leaf, they won't be able to resist the combined attack of the four countries.
"But fortunately, Kumo Shinobu is still some distance away from us, and this is our only advantage now."
War is like a game, and if you want to make the chessboard alive, this is the problem that all the elders of Wood Leaf have to face.
Watergate nodded, and his expression was also a little dignified. He has experienced three wars, and the attacks of the major countries weren't this crazy.
Otherwise, even if Wood Leaf had the Sannin and him at that time, even if the village wasn't destroyed, it wouldn't be able to recover in a few years.
In the latter part of the Third War, the hatred between Kumo Shinobu and the Rock was accumulated in the previous war, so the focus of the war shifted.
The Third Raikage also died under the siege of the Rock's army of ten thousand Ninjas.
"Watergate, I need you to support the Rock's front line, and help Jiraiya resist the Rock's attack. Don't let the Rock's troops step into the Land of Fire."
Sandaime-sama knew that with Minato's current combat power, even if he was alone, he would be equivalent to thousands of ninjas.
Also, Wood Leaf can't send too many people to support the Kusanagi Country.
"Yes!"
Minato responded. Sandaime's arrangement seems like he wants to put the focus of the war on the Mist's front, which seems to be the least threatening.
The Mist is located overseas, and if Watergate didn't sneak in a few years ago, Wood Leaf wouldn't know about it.
However, because of the special geographical location of the Mist Hidden Village, there were many uncertainties about it.
Sandaime's eyes sank, and then he said, "Put all the forces we have on the Mist's front line, we must defeat the Mist's troops in a short time, and we must not let the three armies surround the Land of Fire."
As soon as he said this, except for Watergate, all the elders of Wood Leaf were shocked.
Especially Danzo, he stared at Sandaime and said with surprise, "Sarutobi, don't forget, the main force of the Mist's front line is the Uchiha Clan!"
