By the time news spread through the Shinobi World that Konoha—or rather, the Land of Fire—had declared war on the Land of Water, Shiro, who was in charge of the frontal battlefield, had already led the Jonin Squad through a Space Gate, crossed more than half of the Land of Fire, and arrived at the border of the Land of Water!
Even the battle-hardened members of the Jonin Squad could not help but be shocked.
A distance like this would have been strenuous even for Minato alone, let alone while bringing a hundred or so people along—and from the look of him, he had barely expended anything.
Of course, that was simply the difference between one technique and another.
Replacement Magecraft had long transmission distance and low consumption because most of the magical energy was supplied by the Magecraft Workshop. Shiro was only responsible for flipping the switch. Moreover, the location was basically fixed. Displacement Space already involved part of the Second Magic. Shiro alone could not possibly manage it.
Back to the point. Since Shiro and the others had arrived directly in the Land of Water's territory through the Space Gate, and since their numbers were not large, never mind Kirigakure, even Kirigakure's spies inside Konoha had not noticed that the Jonin Squad had suddenly been mobilized.
Of course, this was also related to Konoha's tight counterintelligence system.
In short, under the influence of a series of factors, Shiro and the others' arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
After the members of the Jonin Squad passed through the Space Gate one by one and stood behind Shiro, Shiro's body slowly rose into the air. At the same time, golden chains flew out from behind him, scattering runes into the sky one after another before they gradually disappeared.
