The War That Changed Its Nature!

No one knew whether the reckless and unlucky Third Raikage would be buried alive under a mountain of men by Ōnoki within the Land of Earth this time. If that happened, it would be quite entertaining.

This also showed from the side that Kage-level experts were not invincible. In small-scale battles, Kage-level experts were indeed tremendously powerful, but that strength seemed somewhat inadequate on a battlefield. No matter how strong you were alone, others could simply bury you under sheer numbers—unless you were someone like Minato Namikaze, who would hit you and then run.
