War Begins

Inside the main tent of the Konoha camp.

Danzo looked calmly at Fugaku and said with a smile, "It seems that because of the cooperation with Hidden Mist, the Raikage is also starting to get anxious."

"The Hidden Mist people should only be waiting on the front lines as agreed. This shouldn't be enough to make the Raikage so flustered, right?" Fugaku asked. He had also met the Fourth Raikage once.

In his memory, the Fourth Raikage not only looked impulsive and irritable, but was also the same on the inside, but this also led to his brave and strong personality.

Danzo explained with a smile, "The Hidden Mist people also seem to want a piece of the pie and have already started attacking Cloud Village from their border."

"What?" Fugaku was shocked. He wasn't in the tent when Ryoma came to deliver the message, so he didn't know about this.

Danzo dropped another bombshell, and it seemed he still hadn't notified anyone else.

"If Hidden Mist really agrees to send troops together, perhaps we really have a chance to occupy the Land of Lightning together with Hidden Mist," Fugaku said eagerly. He even began to foresee the arrogant Cloud Ninja being destroyed by them together with Hidden Mist.

Danzo shook his head. After all, he was still too young, but perhaps it was because the combat power of this world was too high, and there were no so-called military strategies or tactics from previous researchers.

"The five nations are currently a relatively stable balance, restraining and supporting each other. An accident in any country will break this balance," Danzo said calmly.

"I don't know what people in other countries think, but currently, without sufficient reserves, I'm not prepared to break this balance."

Fugaku was stunned, nodding as if he understood.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. It was still Si Ming Mountain, and the sky was as cloudy as it had been a few days ago.

This was the normal environment of the Land of Lightning.

Everything seemed to return to a few days ago, except the positions were reversed. Konoha occupied Si Ming Mountain, while the Cloud Ninja were to attack the mountain.

Danzo stood quietly on the summit, gazing at a small black dot in the distance.

That small black dot was the Cloud Village troops. In his pupils, the black dot continued to expand, gradually becoming recognizable as human figures.

Si Ming Mountain was a strategic location with excellent terrain, surrounded by small peaks that could be used for ambushes, and it could only be entered after passing through a continuous mountain gully.

Such a good place, but unfortunately Tsuchikage wouldn't use it. If it were replaced by a modern person to command, it would take Danzo more time to capture this Si Ming Mountain.

"Is everything arranged?"

Danzo looked at the approaching Cloud Ninja troops and asked Ryoma, who was waiting beside him.

"Everything has been arranged. Under your instructions, a considerable number of Exploding Tags have been buried at specific locations on the surrounding peaks," Ryoma replied.

"After the Cloud Ninja arrive, they should rest on the spot for a while before starting the attack. Arrange a few teams to harass them, don't give them a chance to rest, and don't confront them head-on. Run as soon as you see them," Danzo thought for a while and added.

Military books and tactics are not difficult to understand. The key is to use the right strategy in the right place to face the situation.

Danzo was not Zhuge Liang and could not predict things like a god.

He could only rely on his own ideas to make arrangements in advance and wait for the Cloud Ninja to attack before responding accordingly.

Following Danzo's instructions, ninjas led by Kakashi and A Kai, who were able to achieve something in speed, formed temporary squads and swept towards the Cloud Ninja's camp.

As Danzo had predicted, the Cloud Ninja's team stopped some distance away from Si Ming Mountain and rested on the spot.

Darui looked at the towering Si Ming Mountain in front of him with a heavy face. He didn't have the attitude of being afraid of trouble that he had in the village. The current situation did not allow him to relax.

The news from the front line had already been sent back to Cloud Village, which was why their team had temporarily sped up their pace.

The Hidden Mist team began to attack Cloud Village from another direction, while the troops led by Tsuchikage were defeated by Danzo again at Si Ming Mountain. The Land of Lightning Daimyo even rarely disagreed with the Raikage and began to argue.

With both internal and external troubles, the situation of the entire Cloud Village and even the Land of Lightning is not optimistic.

They didn't expect that just a small provocation against Konoha would lead to such consequences.

But it's useless to regret now. The focus is on how to defeat that old senior and drive the Konoha people out of the border.

"Still worried?"

Slight footsteps sounded, and Yugito slowly came to Darui and said.

"After all, he is an old senior who once made people frightened. I have to think carefully about how to fight this battle." Darui said with a wry smile.

"Don't be afraid, when the war starts, I will directly slap him to death for you." Yugito patted Darui's shoulder and assured.

"Don't be too careless. Konoha is still the head of the former Five Villages. Even if you have the power of a tailed beast, the other party may not have countermeasures." Darui said with a frown.

"The Nine Tails breaking the seal can cause their Hokage to die in battle, and I have now initially mastered the ability of tailed beast transformation. They have no power to suppress me at all." Yugito was still confident.

The outside world only knows that the Fourth Hokage's death in battle was due to the Nine Tails breaking the seal.

Just a Nine Tails, and on their own territory, Konoha can suffer such a loss of combat power, and even sacrifice the Hokage. Other ninja villages have therefore looked down on Konoha a lot.

"You" Darui smiled bitterly, and was about to explain something when he heard an explosion in the distance.

"Enemy attack!"

Without hesitation, Darui directly activated Ninja Body Technique, and deep blue Chakra appeared on the surface of his body, turning his figure into a blue light and quickly flashing towards the sound of the explosion.

Yugito next to him glanced at Darui's back in surprise. She was surprised by Darui's reaction and speed, but then quickly followed Darui's footsteps and flashed towards the sound of the explosion.

As soon as they arrived at the explosion site, there were only a few cold corpses lying on the ground.

"What's going on?" Darui asked with a cold face.

"It should be people from Konoha."

A Cloud Ninja Chunin reported, he had just arrived.

"These people are all Genin responsible for patrolling this area. The sound just now should be the Konoha people launching an attack on them."

Although it was just a guess, no one objected.

Darui was just about to speak to deal with the aftermath when another explosion came from not far away.

"Damn it!"

Cursing secretly, Darui's figure once again quickly rushed towards that area.

However, after arriving, he still didn't see the figure of the attacker, only a few corpses on the ground proved that the sound just now was not fake.

"Boom!"

Another explosion came from the distance.

Darui's face stiffened and he rushed towards the sound of the explosion again, but when he arrived, he still only saw a few cold corpses.

Annoyed, he scanned the surrounding environment, but there were no traces to track.

"Boom!"

Regarding the issue of the Uncle Dan title, I'll figure out a way to resolve it.

qwq And I've noticed that there are too many bugs in Naruto, whether in the early or later stages. Naruto failing to graduate from the Ninja School three times, the Reanimation Jutsu, the Eight Gates, and various timelines—I've been researching and my head is spinning. I'll try my best to make it complete.
