The international situation in the Shinobi World was racing full speed in a dangerous direction.
But no matter how things developed, there still needed to be a period of transition. After all, the Shinobi World was still an entire planet.
Whether it was troop deployments by the ninja villages of various countries or the exchange of information between them, both clearly required quite a bit of time.
After all, they did not have telephones yet.
Thus, after the Land of Fire, Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, and Land of Water formally declared war on the Land of Wind, the entire Shinobi World returned to calm once more.
The common people at the bottom could only struggle through their difficult lives in terror beneath this oppressive atmosphere.
At first, the Four Daimyo had mainly targeted Crocodile himself.
Through the leaders of their respective ninja villages, they had also informed Sand Village that as long as it took the same side as them—in other words, as long as it was willing to join them in subjugating Crocodile—
they promised that once Crocodile had been dealt with and a new Daimyo of the Land of Wind had been installed, everything would return to normal.
But who could have expected Rasa, the Fourth Wind Shadow who had only taken office a few days ago, to stun everyone?
He had actually boldly declared to the outside world that Sand Village unconditionally supported His Majesty Crocodile's rule.
He appeared entirely willing to submit.
Even Chiyo, the renowned advisor of the Shinobi World, chose to support him. This immediately enraged the daimyo, who directly elevated the order to subjugate them into a declaration of war.
They made it clear that the purpose of this war was to destroy Sand Village and remove the Land of Wind
