North of the Land of Iron.
Suddenly, White Zetsu emerged from underground one after another, their numbers describable only as "covering the heavens and earth."
One hundred thousand White Zetsu!
Anyone who knew, knew what that number meant.
Without the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a cheat tool, there was no way they could have produced so many.
The moment these White Zetsu appeared, they split into two forces.
The smaller force headed for the Land of Lightning by sea, while the other looped south, passing through the Rice Field Country, Land of Hot Water, and Land of Moon before attacking the Land of Lightning.
Of the two armies, the seaborne force could practically travel in a straight line. The western side of the Land of Lightning was only a little over a thousand nautical miles away. The southern force, however, had to travel several thousand miles.
Clearly, Obito's plan was to use the seaborne force for a surprise attack. At the very least, it could divert the Allied Forces' attention and energy.
Thanks to White Zetsu's special nature as "plant people," they did not need to breathe, meaning they could cross the ocean without ships.
