The ninja hawk flew south for a distance first, then turned and flew northwest.
Kumogakure had arrived by boat, making a detour to land on the western side of the Land of Earth for a surprise attack. Because Iwagakure currently deployed their main force to the southeast in the Land of Grass, attacking from the west least likely allowed the Iwagakure Ninja Army to reinforce in time.
Precisely because of this, Kumogakure's surprise attack force advanced triumphantly, turning the Land of Earth into a complete mess.
However, Tamura Hiroshi and the others did not care about these things; their target was the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki dispatched by Kumogakure this time, in order to obtain their Tailed Beast Chakra.
When the ninja hawk flew above Hoshigakure, Natsuhi Star tossed down the small package along with a written letter. The ninja hawk then continued its flight, soon leaving the Land of Bears and entering the territory of the Land of Earth.
Supplied with life energy by Tamura Hiroshi, the ninja hawk could fly continuously without stopping, sustaining flight for at least a few days without feeling tired.
The group found a place devoid of ninjas in the vicinity of the opposing battle zones to land, and next came quiet waiting.
"This surprise attack on the Land of Earth by Kumogakure was led by the Raikage's son, accompanied by two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. The ninja army they command numbers three thousand and consists of Kumogakure's elite."
"The Third Tsuchikage is leading the village's last remaining elites to counterattack, constantly pulling in ninjas from the surrounding areas for reinforcement. Judging by that appearance, he seems to intend to swallow that entire force of three thousand Cloud ninjas."
After reading the memories of a captured Iwagakure ninja, Inoichi Yamanaka stated the gathered intelligence.
