When Senju Tobirama received the report of a great victory on the Land of Rivers battlefield, the fatigue vanished from his face, replaced by immense joy.
It had happened so quickly. They had won incredibly fast.
On some of the other battlefields, they hadn't even encountered the enemy yet. In the Land of Rain, for instance, Iwagakure and Konoha were still negotiating with the Rain Ninja.
Others had only just made contact. On the Land of Lightning battlefield, Yuto and his men had only just arrived with their army.
Meanwhile, the forces in the Land of Whirlpools were still at a standoff. Kirigakure was very wary of the Land of Whirlpools, and its ships lacked sufficient capacity. After learning that the Land of Whirlpools had become involved, they seemed to have grown cautious and no longer dared to attack.

Now, every year, quite a few red-haired children enrolled at Konoha Ninja Academy. Some even settled in Konoha after graduating.

So news of their victory over Sunagakure was not only a promising start that thrilled everyone, but also a testament to Konoha's strength!
Looking at the trouble Xingzhuo had mentioned in the report—the nearly one thousand Sunagakure prisoners—Senju Tobirama was grinning from ear to ear.
How could that be trouble? They were resources.
Whether they were used to negotiate ransom or
