All Fame, No Substance
To facilitate command and management, and to transmit orders efficiently and directly, thereby reducing errors.
Ye Liangnai divided the 20,000-strong army into four parts: the combat brigade, the intelligence brigade, the perception brigade, and the medical brigade.
The combat brigade was divided into three detachments.
Each of them is a first combat squad specializing in ninja tool manipulation, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu.
The second squad, composed of all-around ninjas, is responsible for support and rescue!
The third squad, equipped with special abilities, is responsible for surprise attacks and serves as the vanguard of the operation.
The first squad had the most people, with 12,000 men. The captain was Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza, Yagura, and others!
The second squad has about three thousand members, and its captain is Ye Liangnai!
The third squad has about two thousand members, and its leaders Yugito, Reiko, Kimimaro Kaguya, and others.
The army led by Ye Liangnai moved with extraordinary speed.
They arrived at the border of the Land of Water in just one day and set up camp there.
Of course, the army that was originally stationed here had already withdrawn after receiving orders from Ye Liangnai.
Of course, a considerable number of brave men also applied to stay and fight alongside the others.
After careful review, Ye Liangnai selected one hundred samurai with decent skills and assigned them to the logistics department.
"Hehe, war, come quickly! We can't wait!"
The group of Mist Ninja rubbed their hands together in anticipation.
Perhaps there is only one team in the world that looks forward to war like them!
This left the hundred samurai who had applied to stay speechless.
They had assumed that the Mist Ninja would be tense and solemn in the face of war, but—
The reality is that there's no tension or solemnity, but excitement is quite common.
If they hadn't known that war was imminent, they would have really thought they'd wandered onto the wrong set.
Is this really the reaction one should have before a war?
However, upon further reflection, they realized it was quite normal.
With Ye Liangnai in command, war? What's there to be afraid of!
With Ye Liangnai around, just charge forward! In any case, the final victors will definitely be the Land of Water and the Kirigakure!
And so, after a peaceful and uneventful day.
The enemy has arrived!
"Ye Liangnai, Kirigakure, just admit defeat! You have absolutely no chance of winning!"
The enemy's vanguard was a ninja alliance from more than a dozen small countries, including the Land of Waves.
Ye Liangnai even spotted a few familiar faces among those groups.
Hamagoro, a high-ranking official in the Land of Waves!
Anjuurou, a high-ranking official of the Land of Rainbows!
"I never thought I'd be going up against you guys!"
Ye Liangnai looked at the two of them as if they were having a casual conversation, "Have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
"I'll give you a few seconds to think it over carefully. Those who oppose me will not have a good ending. If you make a wise choice now, you can avoid the crisis of national annihilation!"
"Once you miss it, it's truly gone!"
The words, though not particularly strong, carried a heavy pressure, making everyone around feel a chill and suffocation.
Upon hearing this, Anjuurou and Hamagoro's eyes immediately showed signs of struggle.
He was deeply considering the pros and cons, and appeared very hesitant!
Both of them had experienced Ye Liangnai's terror to some extent and had dealt with him before, so they knew his character and temperament. Therefore, they understood exactly what Ye Liangnai meant by those words!
Final ultimatum!
They must make the right choice, or they will become Ye Liangnai's enemies.
But this time, they were really hesitant to choose Ye Liangnai.
Because--
"His strength is too great. Even you are no match for him. Ye Liangnai, your end has finally come!" Anjuurou thought to himself.
The fear that Ye Liangnai instilled in him was indeed very strong!
However, compared to the fear that Kainojirou showed them, it was nothing!
After a brief struggle, Anjuurou made a decision!
He chose to become Ye Liangnai's enemy!
Because he was certain that no matter how strong Ye Liangnai was, he would still lose this time.
In front of that person, no matter how strong Ye Liangnai is, she is just a joke.
Hamagoro was clearly the same; when he looked at Ye Liangnai again, his eyes became firm and cold.
"We refuse!"
"Ye Liangnai, is today your end? Submit to your master now and you'll have a chance to live. You can't defeat your master!"
The two said in unison, "We are determined."
"Hahaha, did you hear that, Ye Liangnai? I'll give you three seconds to think. Stop resisting. You can't possibly be a match for Kainojirou!"
A middle-aged ninja with blond hair looked at Ye Liangnai with an arrogant and contemptuous expression and said.
"Pfft, anyone can talk big. Whether someone is a match or not, we'll only know after we fight!"
Ye Liangnai, standing next to Yugito, couldn't help but chuckle.
She felt that some people had truly forgotten how terrifying Ye Liangnai was.
Is there anyone in this world who can rival Ye Liangnai?
Yugito can say is, it doesn't exist!
In her eyes, this group of people were like frogs in a well, unaware of how vast the outside world was, and believing that the limit of the power they possessed was already the strongest in the Shinobi World.
Little did they know that in front of Ye Liangnai, everything was nothing but an illusion!
"Fine, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
Upon hearing Yugito's words, the blond ninja's eyes immediately sharpened. "Shinobi Alliance, charge!"
At his command, ninja armies from more than a dozen countries, including the Land of Waves and the Land of Rainbows, rushed over.
Nearly 60,000 troops rushed in like a torrent, their momentum was truly astonishing.
Many people going to the battlefield for the first time were so nervous that they were sweating profusely, their eyes were bloodshot, they kept swallowing, and their hearts were racing.
"Hehehe!"
As the Shinobi Alliance charged forward, each of them wore a cruel smile.
"We have an absolute advantage, brothers! Let the Mist Ninja experience what fear truly is!"
"Hahaha, Mist Ninja, despair! Your grandpas are here!"
We will lead you to hell!
They had an army of 60,000, while Kirigakure only had 20,000!
They simply couldn't figure out how they could have lost!
"Withdraw!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Liangnai actually issued a retreat order, as if she dared not confront the allied forces head-on.
Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, the allied forces became even more smug!
"Hahaha, they're scared!"
A burst of laughter erupted from the allied forces, and their morale soared even higher!
"So Ye Liangnai can be afraid too. I thought he was something special. Turns out he's just a big name but no substance!"
"I bet all those amazing achievements of his are fake!"
"Charge! Brothers, grab Ye Liangnai and take his head for the reward!"
"Oh!!!"
The Shinobi Alliance was in high spirits and full of confidence, as if they could already see victory.
