I Entered Your Body!

When more than thirty thousand shinobi slaughtered one another on a plain, what kind of scene was that?

At first, the fighting was nothing remarkable, as both sides used long-range Ninjutsu to probe each other.

Yet under this probing, their offensives were surprisingly evenly matched.

The White Zetsu Army might have held the advantage in numbers, but without Yamato's enhancement like in the original timeline, White Zetsu's combat strength had nearly dropped by an entire tier.

Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi Forces consisted of shinobi from various villages who had coordinated countless times before: the Uchiha Clan and Sarutobi Clan, skilled in Fire Release; the Kirigakure shinobi, skilled in Water Release... Thus, despite their numbers, the White Zetsu Army still failed to gain much of an advantage.

This style of combat was destined to cause limited damage, especially with Pain's Preta Path capable of absorbing Ninjutsu... So both sides decisively ended their probing and, without prior agreement, chose close combat!

Once the fighting became a direct clash, the White Zetsu side's numerical advantage immediately became apparent.

Furthermore, the White Zetsu Army had been ordered to launch attacks without regard for casualties. Many times, even when poor command split up the battlefield and left White Zetsu outnumbered in localized engagements, they still charged fearlessly, willing to trade three of their own for one enemy!
