At the same time the Third Raikage led reinforcements to Iwagakure, Kumogakure also sent help to Sunagakure. But it wasn't Raijin, who was Black Zetsu in disguise—it was Sasori.
Sasori was alone, but one person was enough.
"Fourth, haven't Kumogakure's reinforcements arrived yet?"
Watching the battle raging through the village, Chiyo was anxious.
Shimura Danzō hadn't shown up this time, but there were a full hundred thousand members of the Dark Ninja Army. Not only were there ten times as many as before, but each one was stronger, and some even had Kage Level strength.
On top of that, the Dark Wood Release constructs were more voracious and terribly corrosive. Even the Four Red Yang Formation couldn't completely hold them back.
At this rate, Sunagakure would be overrun in less than ten minutes.

Just then, a streak of lightning shot across the sky from the northeast. It pierced the damaged barrier
