A vast sea of people.
Shadows spread across the sky.
The imposing presence of a full fifty thousand ninjas gathered together.
There was no denying it.
At least, it looked incredibly intimidating.
But that sense of intimidation only affected ordinary ninjas. Naruto stood atop the peak, looking down at the tens of thousands of allied ninjas below without the slightest reaction.

Tens of thousands of allied ninjas?
Heh.
Weren't they just a bunch of trash he could wipe out with ease?
