On the outskirts of Amegakure, rain poured down in torrents.
Lightning flashed through the clouds, and battle cries shook the sky.
The ninja troops led by Kumogakure's Raikage A were the first to charge into Amegakure's outer perimeter.
Their formation was imposing, their killing intent overwhelming.
It couldn't be helped. The allied contingents from the other villages might still have hesitated.
