After Tamura Hiroshi led his people back to Kirigakure, one hundred thousand fully armed Kirigakure ninja departed in groups aboard seagoing vessels, heading for the various coastlines of the mainland.
At the appointed time, they moved out simultaneously. With the aid of their battle armor, they flew swiftly into the mainland and headed for the territories where the nobles and wealthy merchants lived, harvesting their wealth. They also targeted places where various supplies had been stockpiled and sealed away. Anything valuable was fair game.
Of those one hundred thousand people, only ten thousand were ninja raised by Kirigakure itself. With the assistance of the puppet battle armor, they could unleash combat power on the level of elite jōnin while also directing the operation.
The remaining ninety thousand were ninja warriors created when Tamura Hiroshi used his own chakra to infect ordinary people's bodies. Though their chakra aptitude was poor, they could still refine chakra. With chakra supporting them, their explosive power far surpassed that of ordinary people. They had trained extensively in taijutsu and swordsmanship, and with the aid of the puppet battle armor, their close-combat strength was likewise considerable.
The ninety thousand ninja warriors were responsible for support and combat, while the ten thousand ninja mainly sealed the acquired supplies into storage ninja tools.
At the same time, the village had assigned a group of ninja to use the Summoning Technique and retrieve the filled tools. They released the supplies inside and quickly sorted them into their proper categories. The emptied storage tools were then summoned back there for repeated use.
The fighting power of an army of one hundred thousand ninja equipped with puppet battle armor was truly terrifying. Sweeping across the Ninja World would be no problem, let alone targeting only the nobles and wealthy merchants.
