"Then, Master Kōmon, how can we find the reason for starting a war?"
A conductor Jonin looked at the black-haired middle-aged man again - Yotsuki Kōmon.
He is the clan leader of Kumogakure Yotsuki Clan and the commander-in-chief of their vanguard force.
As a powerful ninja clan with their Kumogakure roots, Yotsuki Clan has been the core elder of Kumogakure since the beginning of the village.
As the leader of the Yotsuki clan, Kōmon also holds the concurrent position of the village High-Level Advisors, so it can be said that he has great power.
And it's not just power and status, his strength is also strong enough to convince everyone. As Jinchūriki, Yugito and Tazbi also respect his strength very much.
If he didn't have the strength that was powerful enough to attract attention, he wouldn't be here as the supreme commander.
Just as Kōmon was about to speak, another Jonin couldn't help laughing and spoke in a joking tone:
"It doesn't really matter what the reason is. If I have to give a reason, let's say that a ninja in our village disappeared in their territory, so they went in to search, but Land of Night made an unreasonable sneak attack... What do you think?"
This reason sounds very abstract and nonsense. Some Hidden Cloud Village Jonin even twitched the corners of their mouths and felt speechless.
But after everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that this reason was a good excuse to start a war. Anyway, they were not here to coexist peacefully with Land of Night. As long as they found a good excuse and carried out a 'just' counterattack, of course they could do it as they pleased.
Compared to Land of Night, Konoha and Land of Fire are their real powerful enemies.
Cutting off the Konoha wings of Land of Night plays an important role that cannot be ignored in the subsequent plan to comprehensively attack Konoha and Land of Fire.
Their plan can be said to be perfect. I believe Land of Night would never have imagined that they would cross the long sea and directly attack their homeland.
Not to mention, in order to achieve this strategic goal, Daimyo of the Land of Lightning co-wrote a letter to General of the Land of Night a while ago. The letter stated that he hoped that Land of Night would not associate with Konoha and Land of Fire, but invited him to join the strategic alliance of Hidden Cloud Village and promised many benefits.
It can be said that General of the Land of Night, who was attracted by Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, must be extremely entangled now, hesitating whether to go all the way to the dark side with Konoha.
As long as Land of Night hesitates, he will be defeated and he will relax his vigilance towards Hidden Cloud Village, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of him.
"In this case, the meeting is over, and we will take a day off temporarily. We need to do a good job in patrolling the nearby area, so as not to be--"
Kōmon stood up from his seat, glanced at the Jonin people in the conference room, and planned to end the meeting.
But before he could finish all his words, he was interrupted by a sudden roar--
Boom--
It was a roaring echo that spread through the air, followed by the sound of the building collapsing under the weight, and then a strong vibration that shook the whole body of everyone present in the entire conference room.
The shock wave-like impact continued, and the maps in the conference room tore off the walls and slid off the walls. Not to mention the bookshelf used to store documents also suddenly fell forward, and documents were scattered everywhere.
"What's going on outside? Is there an earthquake?"
One of the Jonin commanders shouted, looking stunned.
The rest of the people also looked at each other, not knowing what happened.
Before they could go out to see what was going on, they soon realized that this was not a so-called earthquake.
Because the screams of Hidden Cloud Village ninjas could be heard outside, and the sirens of enemy attacks resounded throughout the entire archipelago. The sound was as harsh as sharp stones scratching glass, instantly causing the expressions of all the commanders Jonin in the conference room to change drastically.
Without any explanation, they rushed out of the conference room almost instantly, and then their expressions froze.
A huge and ferocious shadow enveloped them all, surrounded by Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who fell to the ground and were injured. Some of the unlucky ones were crushed to pieces by the giant beasts that suddenly appeared in front of them, unable to even send out a signal for help.
Those solid facilities used to defend against Ninjutsu's attack were as fragile as pieces of paper and were instantly crushed by the giant beast's body, unable to form any resistance.
It arrived at the core headquarters of this archipelago in a grand manner, announcing its arrival in the most violent and direct way.
The Jonins led by Kōmon would be lying if they said they were not angry, but they did not lose their minds because of this. They wanted to find out the origin of this giant beast and why it suddenly attacked their Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.
When they looked up and saw the full view of this giant beast, their faces were stunned.
What kind of strange creature is this?
Cat? Spider?
I saw this giant beast with a body as big as a hill, with eight movable legs like a spider, and its whole body was covered with gray fur.
But the strange thing is that its face is very similar to that of a cat.
At this moment, he opened his eyeballs the size of roof ridges and looked down at the group of Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, releasing extremely pure blood-colored light.
From its mouth, two fangs as sharp as blades protruded, shining coldly in the air.
That arrogant and contemptuous look, as if he didn't take the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas here at all.
"You..."
Kōmon was about to question, but before he could speak, his body stiffened.
Because he saw four figures standing on the head of this giant beast, looking down at them condescendingly like this giant beast of unknown species.
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, with slightly flamboyant black hair, swaying gently in the cold wind. He was wearing fully armed armor, similar to the combat uniform of a ninja and Samurai, solemn and solemn.
A pair of pitch-black pupils, with a strange emerald-green brilliance split deep in them.
Standing next to him was a young woman who was much younger than him, wearing lavender Ninja Outfit, with rare pure white eyes, and long black hair cut like a princess.
The forehead displays Land of Night's unique ninja Forehead Protector. Instead of the solemnity and splendor of wearing luxurious kimonos in the past, there is only the simplicity and efficiency of being a ninja.
It is Yayoi and Kicho.
What they were stepping on was none other than Tsuchigumo, who was summoned by Yayoi's spirit.
Behind him and Kicho, stood Irori and Yaya respectively.
Seeing these four people, Kōmon didn't know who had attacked them, and his face suddenly darkened, with a calculating and cold light in his eyes.
The conductors Jonin around him also discovered this. While they were angry, they also felt as if the sky was falling.
Land of Night, which they were discussing just now on how to plunder and destroy, now their leadership fell directly into their command base without making a sound.
No announcement was made in advance, no warning was given, and no excuse was even found for starting a war. It was just a blatant attack.
Just like ants, they casually injured the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas here, and then crushed the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who had no time to dodge under the giant beast and crushed them into meat cakes.
This... was originally what they were supposed to do to Land of Night!
How dare they?
Unfortunately, all this was not their collective fantasy, but an extremely bloody real scene that happened in front of them.
Emotions of absurdity, disbelief, frustration, and anger instantly filled their bodies and minds, and an unprecedented anger burst out from their chests, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Your Majesty General, you attacked without permission..."
Kōmon did not issue an attack order immediately, but took the initiative to speak, intending to be polite first and then attack, looking for a 'just' excuse to counterattack for the upcoming battle.
And he thinks this is a good opportunity. Since General of the Land of Night himself appears here, if they can be dealt with here...
Kōmon was heart-beating, suppressing his inner anger and excitement, pretending to be a frightened victim.
However, in the face of Kōmon's probing, Yayoi directly ignored his attitude. He just looked down at them and interrupted forcefully:
"I'm not here to talk nonsense to you. Two days ago, one of our Land of Night ninjas patrolled here, and then suddenly lost contact. I suspect that it was you Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who did it. Now you hand him over..."
As soon as Yayoi finished speaking, Hidden Cloud Village and Jonin, headed by Kōmon, all looked dumbfounded.
