Iwagakure is ready to start another war and begins to deploy troops to station at the border between Land of Earth and Land of Grass.
In their war plan, Iwagakure's army will directly pass through the trade route connecting the two countries of Fire and Earth from the Country of Grass, march straight in, and kill directly towards the Country of Fire.
And while Iwagakure was still stationing troops, something unexpected happened to Shinobi World.
Kirigakure Shinobi Village, who had little presence in Shinobi World, actually took action, and immediately attacked Land of Fire from the sea, catching Land of Fire by surprise.
And this time Kirigakure can be said to be coming with force, directly sending Kirigakure to take charge of seven special Ninja Blade Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
However, Konoha is Konoha after all, and its foundation is so profound that even Mist Shadow, who is also one of Five Great Shinobi Villages, cannot easily shake its foundation.
After the attack, Konoha quickly adjusted its defenses and mobilized manpower to the coastal frontline to resist Kirigakure.
However, as is often the case in the world, blessings never come in pairs and misfortunes never come singly. When Konoha tried its best to respond to Kirigakure's attack, Iwagakure seized this opportunity.
The mighty Iwagakure Ninja army directly broke out of Land of Earth, rushed into Land of Grass, and used Land of Grass as a springboard to attack Land of Fire.
This Third Shinobi World War war finally got Land of Grass involved.
For a time, Konoha's situation seemed particularly dangerous. A Kirigakure had already entered their Land of Fire territory. If another Iwagakure were allowed to enter their Land of Fire territory, it would be a serious problem.
When the time comes, the two major Shinobi Villages, Iwagakure and Kirigakure, will join forces to fight against Konoha. No matter how powerful their Konoha is, they will not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the two major Shinobi Villages joining forces.
When things got to this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, could no longer sit still. He once again put on his armor and went to the front line in person to fight against Mist Shadow at Land of Fire Coast. At the same time, he sent his good friend Shimura Danzō to lead an army to the Land of Grass border with the intention of blocking the Iwagakure army outside the borders of Land of Fire.
They Hiruzen Sarutobi thought very well, but they underestimated the size and marching speed of the Iwagakure army.
With the presence of Land of Grass Trade Route, the Iwagakure army marched straight in and directly reached the border of Land of Fire.
Iwagakure's plan is to defeat Land of Fire's border defense line in one fell swoop. As long as Land of Fire's border defense line is broken, they will enter the field they are good at.
Relying on the numerical advantage and large-scale coordination, Ninjutsu steadily advanced on the battlefield, thus sweeping the entire Land of Fire.
Konoha sent elite reinforcements again. These elites rushed to the Land of Fire border as quickly as possible, but the number of Ninja sent by Iwagakure was too large, and quantitative changes caused qualitative changes.
Even the elite Ninja deeply felt the feeling of being powerless when encountering the surging waves of enemies.
Relying on the numerical advantage, Iwagakure directly stretched the front line, advanced steadily, and bit by bit encroached on Land of Fire's territory.
Konoha fell into the same double-threaded combat dilemma as Kumogakure before.
However, unlike Kumogakure, the reason why Cloud Village fights in two threads is that they took the initiative to open up two fronts in order to seek greater results.
Konoha did not take the initiative, he started the two-front battle passively. The two Shinobi Villages, Iwagakure and Kirigakure, launched an attack on Konoha at the same time. For a time, Konoha was under great pressure.
Among the Hokage Building Conference Room, Konoha High Command gathered here. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just repelled the Mist Shadow army from the front and returned to Konoha, walked into the Conference Room without even having time to take off his armor.
"How is the situation on the front line?"
"It's terrible. Kumogakure attacked Iwagakure before, causing Iwagakure to start war mode. All production is prepared according to war needs. They have sufficient supplies to be transported to the front line along Chiba Commerce Association in Land of Grass and Trade Route.
Our front line was severely defeated and we have retreated to the second line for defense."
Mitokado Homura reported the latest situation with a solemn expression.
"Chiba Commerce Association's Trade Route? Damn it, I didn't expect that at this time, the Trade Route they developed would actually become the helper of Iwagakure."
"Hmph, Monkey, I have already said that organizations like Chiba Commerce Association should be under our control."
"Okay Danzo, now is not the time to talk about this. I believe that Boss Chiba doesn't want the Trade Route he developed to be used by Iwagakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi scolded his old buddy, and then looked at the map.
"I think it is not difficult to repel Iwagakure. They are so strong now mainly because they have a steady stream of supply support. Once we lose the supply support, they will definitely not be our opponents when fighting in our homeland of Land of Fire."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's suggestion, Danzo snorted coldly.
"Hmph, you said it simply. How to cut off the opponent's supply? Destroy all Land of Grass Chiba Commerce Association and Trade Route?"
"No need."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care about Danzo's tone, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on Land of Grass.
"It's enough for us to destroy this place. This is an important node for Iwagakure Supply Line. Most of their supplies need to pass through here if they want to be transported to the front line."
Everyone looked at the location pointed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and there was Kannabi Bridge.
"It does seem possible."
After studying it carefully, Nara Clan Leader nodded and approved Hiruzen Sarutobi's proposal.
"Destroying a bridge is much easier than destroying the entire Trade Route. I think two Jonin and two Chunin should be enough."
"Two Jonins? How many Jonins are on standby in the village now?"
Utatane Koharu replied.
"Team Minato has just returned from performing a mission. Kakashi in their class has completed the Jonin assessment before and officially became Jonin. The configuration of their class happens to be two Jonin and two Chunin."
After hearing Team Minato, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought about it carefully, and it seems that it is indeed suitable. Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique can move quickly on the battlefield, and they only need to destroy a bridge. This should not be difficult for Kakashi, the new Jonin.
"Okay, send the order to Team Minato and ask them to blow up Kannabi Bridge!
After Kannabi Bridge is blown up, start counterattacking Iwagakure!"
"Yes!"*N
The order was passed on, and Wheels of Fate began to rotate.
Team Minato, who had just returned from a mission and rested, received a mission from Hokage Building.
"Minato Jonin, this mission is very important and affects the entire war. I hope you can complete the mission as soon as possible."
"I know, we will complete the task as quickly as possible!"
Minato took over the task and read the above content carefully.
Go deep behind enemy lines and blow up Kannabi Bridge.
He had already carried out missions like this deep behind enemy lines with Kakashi and others several times before, and it was not difficult. Missions like blowing up bridges and destroying important enemy facilities were also no problem.
But after getting this mission Scroll, Minato always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something would happen during the execution of this mission.
