In Yotsuki A's eyes, the Akatsuki's capture of Yugito was an utterly unforgivable crime.
If they really had started this war, no one would need to tell him what to do. He would declare war on the Akatsuki himself!
Now, only one battlefield remained in the entire Ninja World!
That was the battlefield between Sunagakure and Iwagakure.
Sunagakure had gone to great lengths to hold Iwagakure back for Konoha. The two sides had fought fiercely for so long, yet neither had managed to secure a decisive outcome.
The most urgent task now was to end the war between Iwagakure and Sunagakure as quickly as possible.
Yotsuki A thought for a moment, then said, "Mizukage, go explain the situation to the Tsuchikage and try to arrange a ceasefire as soon as possible! I'll take my ninja and investigate this Akatsuki!"
The Mizukage nodded. "Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Kumogakure's fighting strength is now second only to Konoha's. You're certainly the best suited to this dangerous task."
The Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, then turned to Uchiha Yu. "In that case, let's continue toward Iwagakure! It's a long journey, though. It'll probably take several days."
Their current position was practically right beside the Land of Lightning, at least five days away from the Iwagakure battlefield.
Even if they traveled at a suicidal pace, they could only shorten that to three and a half days.
A battlefield changed in an instant. Even a single minute could bring countless unforeseen developments, let alone three and a half days.
"There's no time to lose. Let's get moving," Uchiha Itachi told Uchiha Yu.
Everyone understood how urgent the situation was now.
In just a few short days, so many jinchūriki had already been attacked.
That alone showed how seriously the Akatsuki took the tailed beasts.
Two days
