Meanwhile, Uchiha Ying Yue swiftly consolidated the forces of the ninja world, forming the powerful Allied Shinobi Forces.
The Allied Shinobi Forces included not only the United Government's core strength—the Ninja World Army—and the Land of Whirlpools' modernized troops, but also elite units from the Five Great Shinobi Villages, fully prepared for the coming decisive battle.
Sunagakure's shinobi forces were led by the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
Rasa was not only Sunagakure's leader, but also a master of Magnet Release: Gold Dust, making him a force not to be underestimated.
Konoha was led by the Fifth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. Possessing the space-time ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, he was one of the most agile Kage in the ninja world.
Although the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, personally took the field for Iwagakure, he also intended to hand frontline command to his disciple Deidara, hoping to temper him through battle.
Deidara excelled in Explosion Release. His "explosive clay" tactics were especially intimidating on the battlefield, capable of swiftly destroying enemy positions.
Kumogakure's forces, meanwhile, were personally commanded by the Fourth Raikage, A.
Raikage A was one of Kumogakure's strongest fighters. Enhanced by his Lightning Release Armor, his speed and power were terrifying, often allowing him to unleash overwhelming destruction in battle.
As for Kirigakure, it had endured Uchiha Madara's previous control. The village's upper ranks and the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, had all been manipulated by the Sharingan, nearly becoming Madara's puppets. Only with Ying Yue's and the Uchiha Clan's help was Madara's control completely lifted, allowing Kirigakure to regain its freedom.
Facing the fact that he had been controlled, Karatachi Yagura publicly apologized to the Ninja World United Government and the various shinobi villages. He admitted that the tragedy had been caused by his own failure and frankly stated that his body had
