The Allied Shinobi Forces assembled without a hitch, and naturally, they already had a clear picture of the enemy. The intelligence departments of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were no less capable than White Zetsu.
After all, this was war. They could hardly gather their troops without even knowing where the enemy was!
"According to our intelligence, the enemy's base is in a place called the Mountains' Graveyard. The overland routes lead to Hot Water Village and Frost Village." As a member of the command staff, Shikaku Nara briefed the Five Kage on the situation in the conference room.
"It looks like we need to issue evacuation notices to the two countries those villages belong to right away," Gaara said.
"According to the intelligence gathered by our infiltration teams, the enemy numbers roughly one hundred thousand. Given how a force that large would move, only a small portion should be traveling by sea," Shikaku Nara continued.
"Besides the enemies we've already identified, we can't rule out the presence of an unknown number of shinobi revived through Impure World Reincarnation."
At that, the Fourth Raikage said, "There's no way to take preventive measures against reincarnated shinobi. All we can do now is crush the enemy army first and deal with the rest afterward."
"Inform the Surprise Attack Division of the situation and have the assembled combat divisions form up. Have each division check its formation and prepare for battle..."
Tsunade also began issuing orders. "Likewise, order the support divisions and Medical Corps in the rear to prepare their medical ninja tools, especially the latest Medical Potions..."
"Oh, and Shikaku, work with the intelligence division to verify our intelligence channels."
Mei Terumi gave an order as well. "Notify the intelligence division to get ready."
"So lively..." Karin and Uchiha Shunichi appeared
