Shinichi used the Body Flicker Technique to appear outside Uzushio Village's protective barrier, looking down at the enemy army drawing closer below.
A cold wind swept past. He hovered high in the air, an unmistakable chill glinting in his eyes.
From their clothing and forehead protectors, Shinichi quickly identified them: most were ninja from the Four Great Shinobi Villages, followed by mercenaries from smaller Shinobi Villages.
This force had clearly been assembled with care, with one explicit goal-to destroy Uzushio Village completely.
