The Land of Earth attacks

The Kannabi Bridge is a Taiseki that spans the border between two countries, crossing the border between the Grass Ninja Village and the Land of Fire.

At this moment, they are located in the Grass Ninja Village.

A vast and mighty force of hundreds and thousands of ninjas from the Land of Earth, their heads piled high.

The sheer number of dark heads, with their sheer sheer numbers, was enough to make it hard to breathe.

The Third Tsuchikage, an old man, was floating high in the sky, gazing at the land ahead with his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Lord Tsuchikage, preparations are complete," a Jonin from the Land of Earth said from the ground.

This caused the Tsuchikage man, Tsuchikage, to descend and land on the ground. He nodded without saying much, "Hmm."

"Next, surely that old Hokage knows what's going on." His eyes swept over the ninjas he'd brought, a strange expression on his face. "Oh, and that brat, the guy named Minato... well, you can't call him a brat anymore."

"Hi!"

"Keep a close eye on Minato." Ōnoki's face darkened, and he waved his hand, saying, "Report his location immediately. I'll handle that guy."

"I understand, Lord Tsuchikage." The man replied, but didn't leave. He abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, there's something else I need to report to Lord Tsuchikage."

"What?" Ōnoki turned his head.

The Land of Earth Jonin's expression was serious, and his tone conveyed a heavy atmosphere. "Regarding the earlier failure of the advance force..."

"I already know about this. The Aburame Clan of Konoha never expected to possess such terrifying Insect Technique."

"Actually, there's one more person whose name hasn't been reported to Lord Tsuchikage?"

"There's someone else?" Upon hearing that there was someone else, Ōnoki frowned and stared intently at the person.

"Regarding the annihilation of Yan and his group, there was a particularly monstrous brat among them. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, it was that brat who aided the Aburame Clan, causing the complete destruction of our people within the Land of Fire."

"A brat? What kind of child would have this kind of strength?"

"That guy, I think his name is Yang Xing." "And one more thing, this kid is actually a disciple of the Fourth Hokage."

"Oh? It seems this kid named Yang Xing will also need to be kept in special attention." Ōnoki's face darkened, his expression incredibly gloomy.

With the army on high alert, the Minato's Team One was rushing forward.

Yang Xing had no idea that multiple forces were eyeing him.

A secret base within the Grass Ninja Village.

It was in a very secluded room.

"Can we finally begin?" Standing up, the man was rather burly. "I've waited long enough for this day."

Slowly standing up, the newcomer's spiky hair was very eye-catching, and his Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan were constantly spinning. In the instant he stood up, his body shot away with the speed of lightning.

It leaped through the grass and disappeared directly into the woods.

They hurried toward the nearby Kannabi Bridge.

In a small village near the Kannabi Bridge, on the border of the Land of Fire.

This place is only a few miles away from the Kusagakure, and the entire sky is dark and gloomy, as if reflecting the brutal war that is about to begin.

When war breaks out, death is inevitable.

No one wants to die for no reason.

This oppressive atmosphere enveloped the frontline ninjas of the Land of Fire.

"Hey, those guys are here. Judging from the situation, they're about to launch an attack. Where are our reinforcements?"

"The Lord Fourth Hokage is on his way."

"But now it's almost time for a fight, why hasn't the Fourth Hokage arrived yet?" A somewhat panicked ninja clutched his head, looking pained. "Ah, I have a wife and children at home, I don't want to die like this! Why are we outnumbered? We're no match for those people!"

"Calm down."

"How can we stay calm? There are over a thousand ninjas on the other side, and we only have less than a hundred. There's absolutely no way we can win. We can't win."

"The Lord Fourth Hokage will definitely come; he will definitely find a way."

"What can we do, even if it's the Fourth Hokage?"

Yes, there is a way.

Just as the two were arguing loudly, the newcomer walked straight in, and his deep, confident voice startled the two ninjas.

Turning my head, I saw Minato Namikaze wearing the Fourth Hokage's cloak.

"The Lord Fourth Hokage."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two men were startled and immediately knelt down on one knee respectfully.

"I understand how you feel, but you also need to understand that if we can't stop that guy here, countless villages in the Land of Fire will be destroyed," Minato Namikaze said coldly and seriously. "Countless families will be wiped out."

"But... but there are nearly a thousand ninjas on the other side." The previously panicked ninja looked up, his face full of distress. "How can we possibly stop such a large number of them charging at us?"

"There's still a way." Minato Namikaze's expression remained unchanged. He simply stepped forward and pointed to a location on a map on the table. "Here..."

"Kannabi Bridge!" The two ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment.

Minato Namikaze nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Kannabi Bridge is a necessary stop."

"That bridge?" Upon seeing the bridge, one of the ninjas' faces lit up with joy. "That's right, we can ambush them there."

"Don't talk nonsense. Even if they don't notice us, they can lie in ambush for a while. But once they all arrive, our group of one hundred will be completely doomed."

As soon as the words were spoken, both ninjas frowned in worry.

"Yes, you're right, it's not just about an ambush." Minato Namikaze said calmly, without pausing, "We also need to send ninjas to the front lines to intercept their reinforcements from the middle. Cut off this large force in the middle."

"Cut off the enemy's forces at the front line." The two ninjas turned pale, understanding the difficulty of this mission. The enemy had the Third Hokage, dozens of Jonin, and various special Jonin close to Kage Level.

If we really have to face those people who come after us, even if all one hundred ninjas here went, it wouldn't be enough to completely defeat them.

"Lord Fourth Hokage, although we understand what you mean, this is impossible. Who could possibly stop the commotion of over a thousand ninjas? It's impossible."

Yes, it's completely hopeless. With the Tsuchikage there, plus countless Chunin and Jonin from the Land of Earth, who could possibly stop a thousand Rock Ninja from advancing with such a large army?

Unless, this person possesses Super Kage Level strength.

"Leave this to me." Minato Namikaze's words stunned the two men, who stared blankly at the person in front of them, and suddenly became incredibly excited.

"Lord Fourth Hokage!"

Yes, apart from the Fourth Hokage, no one else could do that.

Seeing hope, the two were moved to tears.
