While the Five Kage Allied Forces were getting their skulls beaten in in the Land of Rivers, Kabuto had not been idle either. He directly controlled the Reanimated Army, hunting down the powerful fighters in the Allied Shinobi Forces.
This was the perfect moment to counterattack. Shinobi were human, after all. They could not be utterly fearless like White Zetsu.
Seeing their own leaders getting thrashed, these shinobi could not help feeling afraid.
Once morale collapsed, it was difficult to restore.
Even as some of the Allied Shinobi Forces' senior officers struggled to maintain order, Obito, who appeared and vanished without warning, delivered the final blow that broke them.
Kamui was simply too underhanded. Even if ordinary shinobi knew how it worked, they had few ways to counter it.
Without Kage-level fighters, they could only watch helplessly as Obito abducted their senior officers one by one.
All these people were material for Impure World Reincarnation. In the end, they would become blades in their captors' hands.
The more of the Ninja World's senior figures died now, the less resistance there would be when Konoha unified the Ninja World.
Meanwhile, under Sarutobi Hiruzen's command, the White Zetsu army surrounded and wiped out the Allied Shinobi Forces, whose ranks had completely collapsed.
The old man really did know how to wage war. At the very least, he was far more methodical than Obito, who just fucked around and attacked at random.
Leaderless, the Allied Shinobi Forces retreated again and again under the onslaught. Some shinobi even lost their shoes as they fled.
Kabuto also sent the powerful reanimated fighters onto the battlefield. With no opponents of comparable strength to resist them, Hanzo of the Salamander, the Third Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, Pakura, and the others charged into the Allied
