"Sunagakure has finally made its move. They haven't disappointed me."
After returning to Hidden Rain Village, Jingū Kiraku muttered as he studied the movements of the various nations on the map.
With the support of his intelligence network, Sunagakure's attack this time had been swift as the wind and fierce as fire.
The stalemate between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire within the Land of Rain had been broken in an instant.
A large number of Konoha's frontline strongholds had been uprooted, and they had suffered an extremely severe blow.
Even Danzo had no choice but to dispatch part of his forces as reinforcements...
Moreover, Hatake Sakumo, known as the Konoha White Fang, had also temporarily changed course and headed off to block Sunagakure.
This development had not exceeded Jingū Kiraku's expectations.
In a sense, it was quite normal.
After all, no matter how capable a small nation like the Land of Rain was, it could not possibly launch a counteroffensive against Konoha and invade the Land of Fire itself.
But a major nation like the Land of Wind was different. They could genuinely threaten Konoha and even seize the Land of Fire's territory and resources.
Between the two, the latter was naturally more important.
"With this, Hidden Rain Village can finally breathe a little easier."
At last, a faint smile appeared on Jingū Kiraku's face.
Although they had dealt heavy blows to Konoha's forces in the early stages through repeated surprise attacks and Jingū Kiraku's excellent command skills—cheats—
Hidden Rain Village simply had too few fighting forces left.
Even with Jingū Kiraku constantly micromanaging the battlefield, they had still suffered considerable casualties.
If they continued to face Konoha head-on by themselves, then by the end, Jingū Kiraku would probably be the only one left.
That was
