The next day, 9 a.m.

On a broad plain outside Konoha, an army of 40,000 shinobi stood divided into five formations, solemnly awaiting inspection.

On a hastily erected platform, Jiraiya and the others stood in a row, their expressions equally grave.

The previous night, they had received urgent intelligence from the infiltrating reconnaissance unit: 100,000 White Zetsu were invading the Land of Fire.

Thus, Jiraiya and the others, who had just gone to sleep, immediately climbed out of bed and began discussing the situation through the night.

Before this, no one had imagined that the enemy would already be prepared!

If they were only dealing with the ten people from Akatsuki, everyone had some confidence that they could achieve victory.

But now, the situation had immediately become extremely grim.

Even Ōnoki, who had previously said that this could not be called a war, had fallen silent. Forty thousand versus one hundred thousand—if this was not a war, then did the Fourth Great Ninja War they had fought before amount to nothing more than child's play?

Everyone's heart was heavy. They had no idea how many people would die this time.

"Combat divisions, reorganization complete!"

Jiraiya nodded. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he said, "I am the supreme commander of the Ninja Alliance, Hokage Jiraiya. I believe everyone already knows the purpose behind forming the Ninja Alliance."

"That's right. The Fourth Great Ninja War has begun!"

"However, unlike the wars of the past, this time the Five Great Shinobi Villages will unite, advance hand in hand, and destroy Akatsuki's scheme together."

"If we lose this battle, the shinobi world will cease to exist. Everyone will be forced to live beneath fear and shadows. Are you willing to accept that?"
