The border of the Land of Rain had been exceptionally lively these past few days!
Yet amid all that bustle lingered an atmosphere of grim tension.
The reason was simple: the shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had already surrounded the Land of Rain from five directions.
Konoha, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure—the Five Great Shinobi Villages had all assembled under their respective Kage, except for Kirigakure, which was led by Mei Terumi.
Now, all they had to do was wait for the agreed time, and the Five Great Shinobi Villages would launch a coordinated attack on the Land of Rain.
Of course, the target of the Five Great Shinobi Villages was not Amegakure, but the Akatsuki Organization entrenched within it!
Such a grand spectacle was absolutely unprecedented in all these years.
To those who did not know the full story, it was an utterly outrageous development.
After all, Amegakure was merely a small shinobi village.
Even though it had once produced Hanzo of the Salamander, known as the Demigod, in a normal confrontation, Amegakure's strength was absolutely inferior to any one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Even during the Second Ninja World War, Amegakure had only managed to suppress two great shinobi villages at once because Konoha and Sunagakure had held each other in check.
Hanzo of the Salamander had also become famous throughout the Ninja World in that battle and earned the title of Demigod.
It could be said that Hanzo of the Salamander at his peak had absolutely stood at the pinnacle of his era!
And thanks to Hanzo of the Salamander's overwhelming strength, the Land of Rain had afterward become an extremely special shinobi village.
Even shinobi from the Five Great Shinobi Villages had not dared to run wild within the Land of Rain.
