Sage Mode Activated

The Land of Land of Rain is not large, situated at the intersection of three countries. Qingcheng led all the Konoha Ninja from the border of the Land of Rain ...

All the Konoha Ninja arrived near Amegakure in about an hour. The area between here and Amegakure was only about three kilometers, a damp, forested region.

Qingcheng was also waiting for the Flying Thunder God Squad. Once they applied the Flying Thunder God Formula, he could use the Wood Clone Jutsu, then activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the four corners outside Amegakure, and then activate the Four Red Yang Formation to surround the perpetually rainy village, thus launching a trap-like strategy.

The Wood Clone Jutsu, although only an A-rank Ninjutsu, creates Wood Golem Clone, when imbued with Senjutsu Chakra, can absorb the earth's Natural Energy and extend the duration of Ninjutsu. This makes it ideal for unleashing the Four Red Yang Formation.

All the Konoha Ninja, looking at the village still shrouded in rain, wore excited expressions. They were filled with anticipation for this war, eager to be the first to experience the thrill of making a quick buck.

Secondly, engaging in war with other ninja villages would increase their merits, potentially leading to high-ranking positions in Konoha. Therefore, all the Konoha Ninja were eager and ready to fight. Who in Konoha didn't want to be a high-ranking official, except perhaps the head of the Konoha Ministry of Agriculture?

Shouhon Yihan, also looking excited, laughed heartily as she gazed at the village where the rain was pouring down. "Uchiha Obito," she said expectantly, "This time I'm going to beat you into Uchiha Daikun! I'll send you to the Konoha Police Force's prison for a night of jail food, give you a hundred sets of dragon fruit, a hundred sets of electric shocks, and a hundred sets of the Dragon Drill, turning you, this one-eyed dragon, into an old paralyzed man!"

Shouhon Yihan was also very good at flattery. Knowing that Qingcheng deeply hated Uchiha Obito, she would often insult Obito and even call out to Uchiha Itachi in front of the Hokage, just to please the Hokage.

Senju Taoyuan was also eager to fight, having prepared S-rank Ninjutsu. They were just waiting for the Hokage's order to unleash it directly at S-rank Ninjutsu, showing the Akatsuki what the number one fighting ninja Amegakure in the Shinobi World truly was.

Moreover, not only the Senju Taoyuan, but also Kumo-ma and the members of the Lightning Armor Corps are prepared with Lightning Armor. As long as the Hokage gives the order, they will lead the Lightning Armor Corps, transforming into humanoid beasts, and directly storm into Amegakure, killing all the enemies with a single finger or crushing them through.

Hayakumo Sōma, Kosuke, and the others had been eagerly anticipating the battle. All members of the Fat Water Squad were giving it their all in this fight.

From the information provided by the Hokage, Hayakumo Sōma knew this was going to be an extremely dangerous battle. A single misstep could result in the deaths of many Konoha Ninja. Therefore, Hayakumo Sōma was prepared to unleash his full power, aiming for a single, decisive blow to wipe out all the Akatsuki members in one fell swoop.

Tsunade gazed at the Amegakure ahead, her face filled with reminiscence. She couldn't help but recall the days when she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru Hanzō Hanzo of the Hidden Amegakure, and she had become Jiraiya of the Konoha Sannin. But now, Hanzō's body had been destroyed by Nagato ...

Then, Tsunade said with a serious expression, "I never expected that Jiraiya's disciple would turn out to be like this. It's all that damned Danzo's Danzo for creating such a powerful enemy for Konoha."

Tsunade knew that an opponent with the Rinnegan was no ordinary person. Qingcheng Tsunade about Uzumaki Nagato; though pitiful and tragic, an enemy is an enemy, and eliminating him was the best option.

Therefore, Tsunade was also prepared for battle, and even began to gather her Senjutsu Chakra, ready to raise her hand and unleash a powerful attack.

Just then, Shouhon Yihan's voice came through Genma Shiranui's radio, his tone serious as he spoke, "Reporting to the Hokage, our Flying Hokage Flying Thunder God Squad has set up the Flying Thunder God Formula, but a small incident occurred on the way. Namiashi Raidō encountered Rain Ninja were out and about, and a battle ensued. However, Namiashi Raidō wiped them all out."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng immediately shouted, "Everyone, get ready! I'm about to unleash my Senjutsu!"

All the Konoha Ninja, upon hearing Qingcheng's words, looked astonished and shouted in unison, "Long live the Hokage! The Hokage is invincible! Konoha will surely win! Konoha mighty!"

Qingcheng looked at the wildly cheering Konoha Ninja, smiled, nodded, clapped his hands together, and shouted, "Sage Mode!"

After Qingcheng finished shouting, his Chakra began to boil. Azure-blue Chakra shot skyward, spreading from Qingcheng body like a shockwave. The Chakra, like air currents, formed a swirling whirlwind that whistled and hung on the ground.

All the Konoha Ninja, as well as the heads of various departments, looked on in astonishment, shielding their eyes with their hands to block the Chakra storm.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the Fifth Hokage, who could create a Chakra storm simply by activating his Chakra. They exclaimed, "The Hokage's strength is like the sun; the closer you get to him, the more you'll understand just how fiery he truly is!"

Not only these Konoha Ninja, but even Tsunade, standing next to Qingcheng, looked astonished, taken aback by Qingcheng's enormous Chakra reserves.

Then, Tsunade muttered to herself, "The inherently Evil Uchiha, I thought the gap between us was narrowing, but it turns out it's widening. Your strength is almost on par with my grandfather's."

Tsunade smiled slightly at Qingcheng and said excitedly, "Qingcheng, you're so strong now. Tonight, no matter what you say, I'm going to reward you properly. I'll add two more hours for you from now on, how about that, hehehe."

Qingcheng had just finished charging up his Senjutsu Chakra, immediately shook his head upon hearing this and said with a serious expression, "I'm fighting a war! What extra hours are you talking about? I can only sleep three hours a day, and you want to cut two hours off? Are you trying to kill me? Did you take bribes from Danzo?"

As soon as Qingcheng finished speaking, he ignored Tsunade, leaving her with a dark expression and an awkward Tsunade. She then called out, "Sage Art: Wood Clone Jutsu!"
