Time passed, and before anyone knew it, nearly half a year had gone by since Kumogakure declared war.
Kima Senju frequently visited the Princess Mausoleum. As decree after decree was issued, the leaders of Konoha's powerful clans came to understand Yanbai's intentions.
The tailed beasts were also in contact with Yanbai. They never asked why; whatever he told them to do, they did.
Yanbai rarely ventured out, yet he exercised complete control over the war, becoming the power behind the Hokage of Konoha Shinobi Village.
What surprised Yanbai was that Kumogakure seemed to have invested in the wrong skill tree...
Because Madara Uchiha had traumatized the entire shinobi world with a meteor shower during the First World War.
Over the years, Kumogakure had secretly robbed graves and stolen noble families' wealth, pouring painstaking research into bringing the Chakra Cannon into existence ahead of schedule.
The weapon's tremendous power gave Kumogakure the confidence to stand against Konoha Shinobi Village's Tailed Beast Bombs.
Only a nuclear bomb could counter a nuclear bomb.
It had to be said that this line of thinking was actually the right choice.
This chakra weapon, developed with Kumogakure's full resources, had an immense range, though activating it was rather troublesome.
But Kumogakure's Chakra Cannon was the most powerful weapon in the history of the shinobi world. A single shot could destroy the moon.
A fully charged Chakra Cannon might have been able to level the entire Land of Fire, making its people feel the world's pain.
But... that was assuming Yanbai was dead or refused to intervene.
At Kumogakure's encampment on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron.
Bang!
Third Raikage A furiously smashed the table in the makeshift conference room before him.
