"I never expected that such a promising talent as you would be an undercover agent for Kirigakure. It's both surprising and regrettable!"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have discovered it sooner and nipped you in the bud when you were still weak!"
"Otherwise, none of this would have happened!"
Ye Liangnai thought coldly to Dou Lang, the captain of the Assassination Squad in Kumogakure.
A massive army of 15,000 men marched towards the Land of Water!
At the same time that the army from Kumogakure was rushing towards them, in a certain sea area of Land of Water!
"The Land of Waves has come to seek refuge?"
Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage who personally led the troops, looked at the ninjas on the five warships in front of her and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
No small country has ever voluntarily joined forces with any of the Five Great Ninja Villages to fight against another of the Five Great Ninja Villages!
Even the Amegakure never acted this way; they simply maintained a neutral stance!
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Kumogakure? You should know what the Kumogakure's style is!"
"Revenge is the best revenge, fierce and direct! Are you prepared to anger them?"
Faced with Mei Terumi's question, the person standing at the front of the line replied indifferently, "Of course, otherwise, we wouldn't be here!"
"In this war, both sides will benefit from cooperation, but either side will be in great danger if they face the Kumogakure alone!"
"Therefore, we should work together to win this war!"
These words drew a deep look of approval from Mei Terumi eyes, and she asked, "In that case, will you be operating as a joint force or a combined force?"
This is an inquiry about cooperation methods!
Joint operations mean that the operations are independent of each other, but share intelligence and fight the enemy together.
The combined operations involve the Land of Waves' forces being incorporated into the Kirigakure Village and placed under its command!
"Joint operations are possible, but in order to maximize their effectiveness, we can accept certain merger policies."
"However, one of our people must be in the leadership position!"
Upon Mei Terumi smiled and said, "In that case, let's discuss the specific details together!"
War is not child's play; it requires precise control over every detail!
"The Shinobi Alliance?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Lana couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Because of his existence, this title was given nearly nine years earlier than expected.
Of course, because of his expertise in this area, he offered many constructive suggestions during the subsequent meeting discussions, helping Mei Terumi solve many thorny problems.
The most representative suggestion was about the name and the Forehead Protector.
Now that they've all been merged into one, it's impossible to use the original Forehead Protector from Kirigakure and Wave Ninja Village. Unification is inevitable!
But what to call this unified name has not been decided for a long time!
Either Mei Terumi is dissatisfied, or the representative of Wave Ninja Village, this guy named Hama Goro, is dissatisfied with the popularity.
Because the names the two came up with weren't very catchy!
For example, the Mist Wave Alliance Army, the Water Wave Conquest Army, the Kirigakure Conquest Team, the Kirigakure Wave Ninja Army, and so on!
"How about we call it the Shinobi Alliance?"
"It's easy to remember and can express meaning. It's also easy to make a forehead protector, just carve the word 'forbearance'!"
Ye Liangnai's suggestion was immediately adopted!
Mei Terumi praised, "As expected of you, Xiao Ye, you're amazing!"
Later, when discussing the classification of combat units, Ye Liangnai once again suggested. "Why not divide them into four types: combat units, Medical Department, Intelligence Department, and logistics units!"
"Among them, the combat troops are divided into five squads: a surprise attack squad, a reconnaissance squad, the first front-line close combat squad, the second medium-range support combat squad, and the third special squad!"
"The commander-in-chief of the allied forces will be the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi Hama Goro. I will serve as the combat commander-in-chief. Is that alright?"
Ye Liangnai's suggestion was quickly approved, and then the group nominated other squad leaders and platoon leaders.
Among them, the Intelligence Department chief and staff officer: Qing
Strategist: Hyōzō (Chief Strategist of Wave Ninja Village, experienced three Ninja World War)
Medical Department Commander: Yanagi (The most experienced medical ninja in Wave Ninja Village, who has served in both the Second and Third Shinobi World War)
Logistics Commander: Waka Ruka (Wave Ninja Village)
Raid Squad Leader: Zabuza
Reconnaissance Squad Leader: Juzo Biwa
First Frontline Melee Squad Leader: Yūtenmaru (Wave Ninja Village)
Second Mid-Range Support Combat Squad Leader: Kisame Hoshigaki
Captain of the Third Special Squad: Utakata!
The meeting lasted about an hour, and with Ye Liangnai's help, almost all the affairs of the allied forces were arranged.
Kirigakure took the lion's share, and Wave Ninja Village also got quite a few positions, and no one had any objections!
"As expected of the renowned White Cold Light in the Shinobi World, Your Excellency Ye Liangnai is so young, yet his abilities are exceptionally outstanding."
"I really envy you, Fifth Mizukage. With such a younger brother in charge of Kirigakure, how could the village not prosper and become powerful!"
Hama Goro offered his congratulations, sounding much more sociable than before and no longer so aloof.
"Heh, Hama Goro's team isn't bad either, with so many experienced ninjas. Now I feel more confident!"
Mei Terumi responded with considerable humility.
However, the pride on her face was impossible to hide.
After discussing the joint matters, the two villages immediately headed swiftly towards the area where the Land of Waves was located.
According to the strategy they discussed, they will engage in battle with Kumogakure near the Land of Waves.
We must do our best to ensure that the Land of Waves is not affected and to guarantee Land of Waves safety to the greatest extent possible.
Choosing to fight in the Land of Waves has many advantages.
One of the most important aspects is the ease of resupply, which greatly reduces the supply pressure on Kirigakure.
Of course, this is also what the people of the Land of Waves desire.
Because they were fighting elsewhere, they felt uneasy, always feeling that they could be caught in the crossfire at any moment.
In that case, let's just keep the fighting within a specific area.
Anyway, fighting within one's own country gives one a terrain advantage!
While they were carrying out these tasks, the Kumogakure also crossed the ocean in a grand procession, arriving at breakneck speed.
"Beware of Kirigakure's reconnaissance forces. Send out a surprise attack team. Once the reconnaissance forces are discovered, eliminate them immediately!"
Once war begins, you must immediately be on high alert and try to gather as much information as possible!
Intelligence is also an important part of warfare!
"What? The Wave Ninja Village and the Kirigakure have joined forces?"
"When did the Wave Ninja Village become so bold? They actually dare to confront the Kumogakure?"
"With just three thousand old, weak, sick, and disabled people? To fight against the Kumogakure? Are they crazy?!"
The small countries surrounding the Land of Waves were the first to receive news of the alliance between the two villages of Mist and Wave, and they were immediately stunned.
In the previous three Ninja World War, these small countries always stayed out of the way.
The Fourth Raikage never expected the Land of Waves to join in this way.
He really wanted to know where Wave Ninja Village got its courage, Fish Leong?
