The Shinobi World War Begins (6)

Needless to say, the Blazing Liger is extremely powerful. Even Issui wouldn't dare say he could defeat it. Its strength is estimated to be at the level of Hashirama, or possibly even higher. You know, when Issui fought it in the other world, he was almost powerless to resist. If Issui hadn't taken the opportunity to use the Ice Soul Seal, and the Ice Soul Seal hadn't succeeded on the first try, it would probably be a pile of rotten bones by now.

It's a real waste of Deidara's talent as a spy, given his status as a mad explosive artist. On the battlefield, he's an inexhaustible ammunition fortress. As long as he has clay, ordinary enemies are doomed. Even without powerful figures, he can dominate the entire battlefield. If he were to turn against Obito, it would likely be a significant blow.

The above is the combat power that Issui currently possesses. If these forces were combined, they could destroy the entire world. Of course, he would not do that. These forces exist to defeat evil, save the world, change the world, and revolutionize the world.

Traveling at a leisurely pace, the Konoha group gradually entered the border of the Land of Lightning. Several other major ninja villages also entered at the same time, along with the daimyo and their guards. It would be easier to arrange their luggage and manpower together.

After the arrival of people from various countries, the five major ninja villages held another meeting.

When the Kage from the other villages saw the Fifth Hokage and Sixth Hokage of Konoha appear at the same time, they were all astonished. After all, it was an unprecedented event in history for two Kage from the same village to fight simultaneously. Those who could become Kage were all geniuses of their time, and when two geniuses from different eras gathered together, it was even more formidable. Previously, there had never been two Kage fighting at the same time. Even if there were two Kage in a village, one would stay at home while the other went out to wage guerrilla warfare.

"Haha, I didn't expect Konoha to send two Hokage at the same time. Now our chances are even greater. I'm sure that after this battle, their story will become a legend in the Shinobi World. It's just that our village's next Hokage is still undecided, otherwise we would also send two Hokage at the same time, haha..." Grandpa Ōnoki said with a smile.

"Yes, it seems Konoha is indeed a village full of geniuses, with a much stronger reserve force than ours..." the Raikage joked. However, he wasn't envious of them. He had become the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, a figure above ten thousand others, and no one could have a greater reputation.

"Alright, that's enough of the discussion. Let's start the meeting; time is of the essence..." Issui said. He wasn't going to let these people keep talking like this; they didn't know how long they would go on like this.

The Fourth Raikage A Yotsuki, nodded and said, "Alright, everyone, let's begin. As Kage of your respective villages, you must have already organized and allocated your village's strategic forces before this meeting. Now, please hand over your data, and we'll analyze it together to arrive at the final battle force allocation."

Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, the others handed their scrolls to the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, the Fourth Raikage A Yotsuki.

The Fourth Raikage A Yotsuki, examined the five scrolls in his hand. These scrolls represented the combined strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. He discovered that Konoha was essentially the strongest village. Konoha's strategic capabilities were comparable to the combined strength of the other four villages, and it possessed a wealth of talent. It seemed that Konoha's victories in the First Shinobi World War, Second Shinobi World War, and Third Shinobi World War were not without reason; its ability to fight four against one was truly astonishing.

"It seems Konoha has many talented people. Konoha has put in a lot of effort this time. Everyone can take a look, and then we'll assign combat teams."

The Fourth Raikage handed the scroll to the other Kage, giving them some idea of what to expect, as such a major decision couldn't be made by him alone.

First was Ōnoki of Both Scales, the Second Iwakage of the Land of Earth. When he saw the scrolls in his hands, he was only surprised by the power of Konoha. It seemed that Konoha's potential was truly the greatest in the Shinobi World. No wonder it could occupy the most fertile land on the continent. Compared to the barren environments of the other four great nations, the Land of Fire was the center of the continent, rich and beautiful, with abundant resources. The ninjas could obtain a large amount of food without fighting and robbing each other. No wonder it was so powerful; its reserves were strong.

"Tsk tsk, Konoha is truly powerful. Sigh, it seems the boss underestimated Konoha's overall strength. We need to reassess Konoha's power from now on."

Issui couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you doing? Peeping into Konoha's secrets! What kind of time is this to be talking about this? Are you planning to turn against us after the battle?"

"I'm telling you, everyone, just take a quick look. Our immediate priority is to integrate the power of the Five Great Nations and distribute it uniformly. From now on, we're all allies, so don't do anything petty like theft. That would be beneath your dignity. The essential condition for our cooperation is trust. No matter whose village is stronger, from now on, it belongs to the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Ōnoki was startled, then realized what he had said and said apologetically, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just a little surprised. Even if I were confused, I wouldn't do something so foolish at a time like this."

Issui nodded. He knew that Ōnoki didn't have any bad intentions; he was just expressing his amazement. After all, Konoha was so powerful. It would be blatant bullying to expect people to be surprised.

After reading the information on several scrolls, the Fifth Kazekage Gaara and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi expressed no questions. Then, they began a competition. Although they were now united, the allocation of these teams could not allow one village to occupy all the positions; that would be too unfair. Although it was ostensibly an allocation of teams, it was actually a contest between the Five Great Nations powers, with the strongest advancing.

After all the votes were cast, the Fourth Raikage stood up and said, "I hereby declare that the Allied Shinobi Forces are officially established from today onwards. We shall unite as one, without distinction, to defeat the evil forces. After discussions among the Kage and the leader of the Land of Iron, the final composition of the Allied Shinobi Forces of the Five Nations (along with the samurai forces of the Land of Iron) has been determined, and the arrangement is as follows: The leadership of the Allied Shinobi Forces shall consist of the Kage of the Five Great Nations and Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron."

The army is commanded by the following: Supreme Commander: Fourth Raikage A Yotsuki; Supreme Vice Commander: Sixth Hokage, Issui Kanna; Chief of the General Staff Fifth Hokage Tsunade Senju, with subordinates Shikaku Nara and Mabui; Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces: Fifth Hokage, Kazekage, Gaara; Reconnaissance Squads: Captain Mitarashi Anko, with subordinates Aburame Muta, Tokuma Hyuga, Ranka; and Surprise Attack Squads: Captain Kankuro, with subordinates Omoi, Sai, and Itsudan Hyuga Hoheto. The unit is Hyuga Hoheto, Dango, Saji, and Tong; it also includes a medical and logistics unit, commanded by Shizune Katō, with members including Sakura Haruno; Intelligence Division, commanded by Inoichi Yamanaka, with members including Aoba Yamashiro and Tenga; a Sensor Division, commanded by Ao, with members including Nishi; and a first unit, the mid-range joint forces detachment, commanded by Darui, with members including Tenten, Akimichi Chōza, Hyuga Hiashi Samui, Atsui, Achii, Kotetsu Hagane, and Izumo Kamizuki is divided into several units: the Second Unit, a close-combat coalition detachment led by Kitsuchi, with subordinates including Kurotsuchi, Neji Hyuga Karui, Hinata Hyuga; the Third Unit, a close-to-mid-range combat coalition detachment led by Kakashi Hatake, with subordinates including Guy, Rock Lee, Mita Yamanaka, Nara Ensui, and Maki; the Fourth Unit, a long-range combat coalition detachment led by Gaara, with Shikamaru Nara as vice-captain, and subordinates including Temari and Choji Akimichi; the Fifth Unit, led by Mifune, with subordinates including Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka, and Hana Inuzuka; and the Daimyo's Guard, led by the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, with subordinates including Chōjūrō, Genma Shiranui, Namiashi Raidō. "Alright, that's the final result. The Fourth Shinobi World War is officially declared to have begun. First, the reconnaissance teams will determine the enemy's location, then the staff will discuss the battle plan. The war is officially on!"

Everyone stood up solemnly, signifying their united advance. The Shinobi World War was about to begin, and the flames of war were spreading. Who would emerge victorious and who would lose remained to be seen...

The Graveyard of Mountains the Land of Waterfalls.

Obito Uchiha in front of him, and Zetsu emerged from underground.

"How's it going? Judging from the scale of the operation, it seems quite large. How many ninjas are there?"

White Zetsu said, "Ha, what a noisy sound! My ears are almost deafened. There are so many people, it's like a sea of people. I estimate there are about 80,000, and they are all experienced ninjas. It's like the entire Five Greats have come out."

Black Zetsu scoffed and said, "They're just a rabble. We have our own trump cards too. In terms of numbers, we outnumber them by quite a bit."

Obito Uchiha, "Yes, I've already created nearly 100,000 White Zetsu using the cells of the First Chakra of the seven Tailed Beasts. We have the advantage in numbers, and since the White Zetsu were created from the First's cells, their strength is naturally not low."

"Why are they all White Zetsu? Wouldn't it be better if they were all black?" the White Zetsu said in frustration.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu broke out in a sweat and angrily retorted, "Can't you use your brain for once? You bastard, are you looking for trouble...?"

White Zetsu hurriedly said, "Hey, we're one person, okay? Don't attack! Stop, stop, stop! I won't say anything, okay...?"

Black Zetsu said, "Tch, who wants to share a body with you? I can leave whenever I want..."

Obito Uchiha shook his head, ignoring the two's fight, and walked into the cave.

Suddenly, a gray figure appeared and said, "So, what do you think of this battle? Shouldn't we celebrate our victory first...?"

The speaker was Kabuto. Just two days ago, he had handed over the captured Yamato to Obito as a form of assistance, essentially as a fighting partner. However, he believed that he would ultimately benefit from this battle; everyone would serve as pawns in his game. A massive chessboard had been laid out, and the serpent was breathing...
