Going to Their Village for Some Practice

Meanwhile, along the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, forces from both the Kumogakure and the Konoha Ninja were assembled on their respective borders.

The scene was tense again, with both sides' ninjas looking furious, like powder kegs ready to ignite at any moment.

Dodai led a formidable army of over 11,000 Cloud Shinobi, all of them radiating fierce determination! Staring intently at the Cloud Shinobi Konoha Ninja opposite them, the Cloud Shinobi drew their weapons, ready for battle.

The fighting strength of Hidden Cloud Village is the closest to that of Konoha, and their Ninjutsu is primarily based on Lightning Release and swordsmanship.

Kakashi, leading over five thousand men, confronted the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas on the border of the Land of Fire. All the Konoha Ninja drew their Kunai and Explosive Tag, showing no fear of the Cloud Shinobi opposite them.

The quality of Konoha Ninja is clearly a notch above that of Hidden Cloud Village ninjas! Most are ordinary Jonin or Elite Jonin, with Chunin making up only a small percentage, roughly one-third.

Dodai, looking at the Konoha Ninja and preparing for battle, couldn't help but show a bitter expression. He then turned to Yugito beside him and said, "If you activate your Tailed Beast Transformation, can you defeat the Konoha Technician, Kakashi?"

Upon hearing Dodai's words, Yugito hesitated for a moment, then looked at Kakashi opposite him, shook his head, and said very seriously, "Dodai! Last time I fired Tailed Beast Ball at Konoha, but he used a special Ninjutsu to absorb it directly. That special Ninjutsu should be his Sharingan."

Upon hearing Dodai 'Yugito words, Tsuchida had already made up his mind and said, "He's not from the Uchiha Clan. That Mangekyō Sharingan won't last long. If we deplete his Chakra, the Two-Tails should be able to wipe out these Konoha Ninja."

Upon Yugito felt very confident and immediately replied, "Yes, Dodai. If Kakashi's Chakra is depleted, his Mangekyō Sharingan will be unusable, and I can charge into the Konoha crowd and wreak havoc."

Kakashi and the other Konoha Ninja began to communicate in hushed tones. Kakashi had already removed his eyepatch, revealing his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan.

Kakashi, with a serious expression, said directly to the Kumo-ma, "If the Cloud Shinobi on the other side release their Jinchuriki directly, and we can't stop them, then we'll abandon the mission and wait for the Hokage to arrive before we reclaim the lost territory."

Kumo-ma hearing Kakashi's words, Yun Jian nodded directly, then said angrily, "These damned Mountain Barbarians actually used Jinchuriki! If it weren't for Kakashi-sensei using Kamui, this Tailed Beast Ball would have exploded right here in our camp!"

Hyuga Changchun said very seriously, "I've known since I was a child that these Mountain Barbarians are a bunch of scum. They kidnap other people's children and are capable of anything. When the Hokage arrives, I will definitely kill a few Hiashi Cloud Shinobi to avenge Lord Hiashi."

After saying that, Hyuga Changchun stomped his foot hard on the ground again, venting his anger.

Kakashi looked at Hyuga Changchun, whose face was full of anger, and then said seriously, "Captain Nagaharu, now is not the time to consider personal grudges. I also hate these Cloud Ninja very much; they are insatiable wolves. But this is a time of war, and a wrong decision can cost a lot of lives."

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Kumo-ma Cloud Shinobi replied with a serious expression, "Kakashi-sensei! Their secret weapon Jinchuriki, but if you can subdue this Jinchuriki, I believe that five thousand Cloud Shinobi Konoha Ninja will have the advantage."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's face fell, his eyes turning deadpan, and he said with a bewildered expression, "You're a genius! I'll recommend you for the border captain position next time!"

Kumo-ma hearing Kakashi's offer to make him the border patrol captain, Yun Jian looked completely bewildered and said, "Kakashi-sensei, I want to join the Police Force and become an excellent Police Force ninja. I don't care if I don't get paid, because we eat in Konoha! We don't have to spend any money."

Hearing this, Kakashi perked up immediately, then said with a look of disdain, "That's right, don't say that again. I always see a huge pile of applications, all from those Konoha Jonin! They want to join the Police Force. Police Force positions are so valuable; it's unrealistic to think you can get a position without spending money."

Upon hearing this, Kumo-ma said awkwardly, "I knew it. These things aren't that simple; there must be something fishy going on."

Kakashi then said with a serious expression, "The Fifth Hokage will soon issue an order to prohibit the emergence of dark forces in the village, as well as jailers and village bullies. He will also prohibit those who extort and demand bribes. The members of the Police Force will be the first to be rectified."

Upon hearing this, the border ninjas all sighed, saying with regret, "Not having been a member of the Police Force is a lifelong regret for us."

Kakashi looked at the Konoha ninjas, his imposing aura waning, and then said with a serious expression, "The Fifth Hokage has plans to expand his business outside the village! You all have the opportunity to join and become professional shady ninjas, but you must win the war first."

Upon hearing this, all the Konoha Ninja regained their morale and shouted, "Kakashi-sensei is right! Let's defeat Hidden Cloud Village first, then go to their village to practice!"

Upon seeing the Konoha Ninja, Dodai noticed their initial momentum suddenly drop, then inexplicably rise again. He asked, puzzled, "What's the reason for their intense fighting spirit?"
