Master of Greening

Sea Buckthorn City had been built to serve as a forward base, and today, it finally fulfilled its original purpose.

Iwagakure's side was led by Deidara, with Kurotsuchi following behind him.

Not a single other Iwagakure higher-up had come. Clearly, they intended to temper Deidara.

Deidara was extremely intelligent. Commanding two thousand people posed no difficulty for him.

Kurotsuchi had been able to become Tsuchikage in the original timeline, so she was naturally no incompetent fool.

The two thousand troops quickly entered Sea Buckthorn City.

Although Konoha only had five hundred people, they had a large number of Uchiha clan members and Hyuga clan members.

Just as Sunagakure had said, they were the advance scouting force.

The purpose of the Ninja War five years ago had been to eliminate Sunagakure's fighting strength, so they only needed to hunt down Sunagakure's troops.

But this time was different. The purpose of this war was to fully occupy the Land of Wind.

Reconnaissance was therefore the highest priority.

Konoha's leaders had originally been White Fang, Kakashi, and Nawaki, with the latter two operating openly and in secret.

Kakashi was mainly responsible for issuing orders, while White Fang had only come as a combat unit.

But after Tsunade woke up, she had also come to join the fun, so command fell to Tsunade.

Of course, they were not the only ones in the group. Ebizo and Chiyo had come as well.

Although Chiyo could still fight, she had rarely taken action in recent years.

She and Ebizo had come as advisors.

After all, the desert region and the Land of Fire were completely different worlds. Fully conquering this desert would take considerable effort.
