"What!?"
Tsunade sprang to her feet.
It was no wonder she was nervous. Konoha had sent out all its elite forces, leaving its defenses at their weakest. If they were attacked now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The other Four Kage also looked grim.
Everyone had assumed that as long as they kept the two Jinchuriki targeted by the Akatsuki Organization close by, the organization wouldn't waste its effort attacking the villages.
No one had expected such a fierce response from the Akatsuki Organization.
Not only had they launched an offensive on the front lines, they had also infiltrated medical and supply outposts throughout the rear. Now they were targeting the villages directly.
Mei Terumi had heard that the enemy was coming from the sea, and she was tense too. "Who are they?"
Shikaku Nara said, "According to eyewitness accounts, the shinobi riding those flying devices seem to be remnants of the Sky Ninja Village."

Tsunade's expression darkened.
Until now, she had still entertained some hope. The enemy had only crossed the Land of Hot Water, after all, and might not have been heading for Konoha. But the moment she heard they were remnants of the Sky Ninja Village, all hope vanished.
The Sky Ninja Village had been destroyed by Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War. The remnants would undoubtedly target Konoha while its defenses were depleted.

The two Elder advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, were each stationed in River Country and the Land of Tea, to the southwest
