Land of Fire border.
Five thousand Kumogakure troops pressed against the border.
The killing intent radiating from them was enough to scatter even the birds in the sky.
Meanwhile, Konoha's border garrison numbered only a few hundred.
The captain of the guard clutched a Kunai tightly, his hands shaking like leaves.
