The Allied Shinobi Forces in the Land of Lightning collapsed completely and scattered like birds and beasts, with only some Hidden Cloud ninjas putting up a desperate resistance.
But it was useless.
The Allied Shinobi Forces in the Land of Water were rather strange, however. They collapsed even more thoroughly, with large numbers of Kirigakure ninjas either surrendering or fleeing without putting up any meaningful resistance.
When the casualties and survivors were counted afterward, none of Kirigakure's main higher-ups were found.
For example, the Fourth Mizukage.
"Why flee?"
"Is there still a chance to turn things around?"
There was none.
The only remaining problem was the concealed White Zetsu army. As a fearless legion numbering tens of thousands, it was a moderate nuisance.
But it was merely a nuisance.
Aside from that, the Puppet Corps was worth noting.
The Sand Hidden Village's puppets and the Otsutsuki puppets were mainly concentrated in Demon Country. As secret forces, they had rarely appeared in the routine clashes at the front lines.
Mimi speculated that the Otsutsuki puppets were used sparingly because the Byakugan users in the sky could not withstand the strain of the Tenseigan.
The Sand Hidden Village's puppets mainly cost too much money.

Because of that, the laboratory had been relocated, and its exact location was unknown, allowing it to escape the ravages
