Powerful Threat

Kumogakure's outskirts.

Various checkpoints and guards lined the roads, their purpose naturally being to protect Kumogakure.

But in recent years, Cloud Village had been too dominant. They usually dealt with spies of all kinds.

No one had ever launched a large-scale invasion of Cloud Village.

Countless alarms echoed throughout the entire village.

Everyone looked up in surprise.

Who could break through the outer patrols and reach
