Sunagakure began its invasion of the Land of Rain.
It swept straight in from the border.
At this rate, it looked ready to tear through the entire Land of Rain in no time.
Sunagakure might have been relatively weak among the Five Great Nations.
But that was only relative.
Compared with a small country like the Land of Rain,

The Land of Rain's shinobi retreated all the way.
In the end, they simply stopped resisting.
They turned around and attacked Konoha instead.
