Lightning Strike on the Land of Whirlpools

With the intervention of Uzumaki Mito and the conclusion of the Konoha high-level meeting, Konoha Village immediately began intensive preparations for reinforcements.

Ninja units within the village were rapidly mobilized and supplies were quickly assembled, yet Uchiha Ying Yue felt a trace of unease.

Ying Yue clearly remembered the suddenness of the Land of Whirlpools' destruction in the original story; the surprise attacks from the various major ninja villages left Konoha with no time to support the Uzumaki Clan.

Considering this, Ying Yue felt that even though Konoha had begun preparations, waiting for all reinforcements to assemble before departing might cause them to miss the optimal window for rescue.

Time waits for no one. By the time Konoha's reinforcements are ready, the Land of Whirlpools will likely already be in crisis.

Uchiha Ying Yue pondered, If I can arrive at the Land of Whirlpools ahead of time, perhaps I can provide them with support at the very first moment.

The Uzumaki Clan of the Land of Whirlpools, like the Senju Clan, were descendants of Asura, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, possessing naturally powerful chakra and unique constitutions.

Building a friendship with the Uzumaki Clan would be of great help to his future plans.

Once Uchiha Ying Yue made his decision, he immediately set about preparing for action.

If he wanted to support the Land of Whirlpools in advance, relying solely on himself or a small squad would be far from enough.

Ying Yue needed more support and strength, and Elder Senju Mufeng and Elder Uchiha Setsuna were the two major pillars he could rely on.

Uchiha Ying Yue first arrived at the residence of Senju Mufeng.

Elder Senju Mufeng was one of the most influential figures in the Senju Clan and a staunch supporter of Ying Yue.

After listening to Ying Yue's plan, Senju Mufeng pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Ying Yue, your analysis makes perfect sense. The Land of Whirlpools has deep ties with our Senju Clan, and Lady Uzumaki Mito is an elder we all respect. Since Konoha's reinforcements may not arrive in time, you may lead a portion of the Senju clansmen to accompany you to the Land of Whirlpools," Senju Mufeng said firmly.

Uchiha Ying Yue expressed his gratitude for Senju Mufeng's support: "Thank you, Elder Mufeng. We must act as quickly as possible to reach the Land of Whirlpools before the enemy."

Next, Uchiha Ying Yue headed to the territory of the Uchiha Clan and found Elder Uchiha Setsuna.

Uchiha Setsuna had inherited the will of Uchiha Madara and placed high hopes on Uchiha Ying Yue, wishing for him to lead the Uchiha Clan to regain its former glory.

After listening to Ying Yue's plan, Setsuna pondered for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Ying Yue, your decision is correct. The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan are vital to the Ninja World; they cannot be allowed to fall into enemy hands. The Uchiha Clan will not stand idly by." Setsuna nodded in agreement, then added, "I will dispatch a group of elite clansmen to accompany you to ensure the success of this mission."

Uchiha Ying Yue smiled slightly, his heart filled with confidence: "Thank you, Elder Setsuna. With the support of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, we will surely be able to provide the most powerful assistance to the Uzumaki Clan at the critical moment."

With the support of Senju Mufeng and Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Ying Yue quickly assembled an elite squad composed of Senju and Uchiha clansmen.

This squad was small in number, but every member was a powerful ninja capable of exerting immense combat strength in emergency situations.

Uchiha Ying Yue led this elite squad to quickly gather supplies and prepare for departure.

To minimize the time spent traveling to the Land of Whirlpools, they decided to move in small, covert groups, avoiding potential enemy reconnaissance to reach their destination as quickly as possible.

"Everyone, our time is limited. We must reach the Land of Whirlpools before the enemy launches a full-scale offensive."

Uchiha Ying Yue said to the team before departing, "This battle is not just for the Land of Whirlpools, but for the future of our Konoha Village. Protecting the Uzumaki Clan is also protecting ourselves."

The Senju and Uchiha clansmen nodded one after another, their eyes burning with the passion and determination for battle.

Uchiha Ying Yue looked at them, his heart filled with confidence.

Ying Yue knew that this preemptive support mission was crucial; its success or failure would directly affect the survival of the Land of Whirlpools.

Once everything was ready, Ying Yue led the elite squad to depart quietly, heading toward the Land of Whirlpools.

They quickly crossed the border of the Land of Fire and entered the stormy forests of the Ninja World.

Meanwhile, as news of Konoha Village's intensive troop mobilization to reinforce the Land of Whirlpools spread, it was, unsurprisingly, quickly relayed by spies from the various major ninja villages.

These spies had been lurking in Konoha for years, waiting for such vital intelligence.

Soon, this news reached the hands of the Kages of the major ninja villages through secret channels.

The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure all realized upon receiving the news that Konoha Village had already detected their plans.

The leaders of each village immediately convened emergency meetings to discuss how to respond to this sudden situation.

In Kumogakure, the Third Raikage, A, was handling daily affairs.

Suddenly, an intelligence ninja who had rushed over handed an urgent message to his desk.

The Raikage frowned slightly, carefully reading the contents of the intelligence, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

"Konoha has begun mobilizing troops; it is clear they have detected our plan," the Raikage said in a deep voice, his gaze cold. "If Konoha's reinforcements reach the Land of Whirlpools, our plan will fall into a stalemate, and we may even lose everything."

The Raikage immediately summoned the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure and decided to act quickly.

He decisively ordered: "We must attack early. Before Konoha's reinforcements arrive, we will launch a blitzkrieg on the Land of Whirlpools. Time waits for no one. Pass the order down: have all units enter a state of combat readiness immediately and prepare to depart."

The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure had no objections to the Raikage's decision and quickly executed the order.

The Raikage knew that once the Land of Whirlpools was occupied, they would gain a huge strategic advantage, and the faster Konoha reacted, the smaller their chances of success would be.

Meanwhile, in Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, also received the same intelligence.

Ōnoki was one of the few veteran powerhouses in the Ninja World, and having been through many battles, he quickly analyzed the current situation.

"Konoha's reinforcements are assembling; it is clear they have detected our actions," Ōnoki said calmly. "If we do not act in advance, what awaits us will be Konoha's all-out counterattack."

At the high-level meeting in Iwagakure, Ōnoki immediately made his decision: "All units are to enter combat status immediately. The original attack time is moved forward. We must take the Land of Whirlpools before Konoha can react."

The ninjas of Iwagakure were known for their efficiency, and they quickly mobilized, preparing to carry out the Tsuchikage's orders.

Ōnoki knew clearly in his heart that this blitzkrieg was a rare opportunity; he had to end the battle as quickly as possible to avoid any complications.

In Kirigakure, the Third Mizukage had also received intelligence regarding Konoha's mobilization.

Kirigakure's operations were always known for their speed and ruthlessness, and the Third Mizukage knew that there could be no hesitation at this moment.

"Konoha has already sensed our intentions, which means we must change our plans," the Third Mizukage said coldly, a flash of resolve in his eyes. "We will act immediately and blitz the Land of Whirlpools. We must resolve the battle before Konoha's reinforcements arrive."

The Mizukage quickly issued his orders, and the ninja forces of Kirigakure began to assemble in a state of high tension.

The Mizukage knew deep down that the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan held immense strategic significance for Kirigakure's future, and only by striking before Konoha could fully react would victory be within their grasp.

After receiving the intelligence regarding Konoha's mobilization, the three Kage quickly established contact.

The Third Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Third Mizukage reached a consensus almost simultaneously: they had to advance their timeline immediately to prevent Konoha's reinforcements from interfering with their plans.

The Raikage spoke first: "Konoha is already assembling reinforcements; we must take the Land of Whirlpools before they arrive."

Ōnoki nodded in agreement: "I agree. Only by launching a preemptive blitz can we ensure victory."

The Mizukage also said calmly: "Then we shall proceed according to the new plan. Mobilize your respective forces and launch the attack as soon as possible."

The three Kage quickly adjusted their offensive strategy, significantly moving up the originally scheduled time for the attack.

They decided to launch a simultaneous surprise assault to occupy the Land of Whirlpools with the greatest possible speed and dismantle the resistance of the Uzumaki Clan.

Following the decision of the three Kage, the forces of the major ninja villages began to assemble rapidly and marched toward the Land of Whirlpools at top speed.

The shadow of war had already shrouded the skies over the Land of Whirlpools, and a decisive battle was about to erupt.

Meanwhile, the advance reinforcements led by Uchiha Ying Yue were also on their way to the Land of Whirlpools.

The fates of both sides would converge on this land, and the future of the Uzumaki Clan would be decided in this battle.
